Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 830 - Nightmare Before Christmas Part 1

       At Christian's sudden death, Jacob knew it. They've been tricked again. This time someone is spying on their empire. He looked at Ilya as he showed him Christian's latest photos outside the rest house. Jacob has been spying on them. The only thing to kill them all is to surround them with laser guns. Their bulletproof suits won't even keep them safe.

"And guess what I found too?" Jacob showed Kale's photos with Christina. "This girl that Martin sold us is alive and with the Dragon Empire."

"I want this girl and find Martin."

       Jacob sighed.

"Now, do you want them all to die?"

"Yes," Ilya said coldly. Now that Claus left, he had nothing to fight now. He let Claus go. The only thing that he should focus on is those four Empires.

"Why do you want your son dead?"

"I have no choice. He won't come back to me."

       Jacob is always flexible and enthusiastic. At that moment, in two hours, his big machine is going to enter their house and blast it. Laser guns are good. He won't let them live. He took his tablet and smiled at Ilya. He turned it on and at this moment, it might be blasting.

       While everyone is happy and dancing, Christian takes Demi to the foyer in front of the Christmas tree.

"Well?" Christian asked.

"Don't tell me that you are going to open a present. Christmas is like in three days." Demi said as she crossed her arms. Christian chuckled as he looked around to search for something. Then, he got it. "What are you looking for?"

"I was looking for my old smelly socks," Christian said.

"Hmm,"

"I'll help you."

"Great," Christian said. Demi helped in searching for it.

"Are you pranking me right now?"

"Why would I prank something on you?"

       Demi saw a red Santa Claus sock. It's big and something is there. She slid her hand inside and took out the box.

"You found it?"

"There's a sock but I think it's not smelly."

"Hmm," Christian walked around and Demi opened the red velvet box. She opened it.

"Christian, someone just put a," She stopped and looked at the other corner. She turned around and Christian is kneeling on one knee. He cleared his throat. "Christian?"

"Well, Demi, my beautiful babe." He smiled charmingly. Demi chuckled as she admired the sapphire gem. It wasn't just the gem. She took out the ring and admired the phoenix around it. "Demi," He reached her hand. "As I promise you, will you marry me?"

"Fancy," She gave the ring to him. "Of course, I will marry you."

"I don't want to say other romantic words. I'll save it for tonight's lovemaking." He said as he put the ring on her. He kissed her hand and then, he kissed her tummy.

       The music stopped as the grandparents left quickly with the pregnant girls. Christian told Demi to leave so he could check on other things. Just as what Wynter and Casey saw from their visions, the glasses scattered.

       Christian looked at old people as they left together with Rosie and Zayne and pregnant girls. They are on their way to the panic room. The Butlers and Maids are running around. He stood and the window burst. The wooden door crashes and everything crashes with a loud sound. The first thing that Christian did is cover Demi down. But he received a sharp burning pain in his back.

"Christian!" Demi shouted.

"Demi!" Dmitri called out and he crawled toward them.

       Aria and Asher hide on the shelves with their laptops as they try to control the security alarm.

"Shit! That bastard just hacked into the system and they are earlier than we anticipated." Asher shouted.

"Daddy!" Demi cried.

       Christian coughed as he vomited blood.

"Daddy! Christian,"

"I got it…" Dmitri searched in his pocket and the iron shield was activated.

"Christian, stay with me." Demi cried.

"De-Demi," Christian muffled. Cyra came as she helped Dmitri to Christian. Laying her down. "I~I don't know if I told you that I love you."

       Demi burst into tears as she held Christian's hand. Cyra searched for his veins and injected the nanomites.

"Christian, breath," Cyra said. "The damage is a lot."

       Zendaya looked at Wynter on the very corner staring at their dad's body protecting their mother.

"Zach!"

       The chaos never stopped. Wynter cried silently as Andromeda searched for their father's heartbeat and injected the nanomites into him.

"Zach, wake up!" Andromeda tried hard not to panic as she checked his pulse.

"Love, I'm f-fine~~" Zach struggled. Andromeda hugged him. "Ouch~~"

"I'm sorry." Andromeda held her tears. The sound of crashing makes it worse for them who was left in the great room hiding on the corner since the exit has been blocked.

"Your breasts feel good."

"Oh, f~ck!" Andromeda chuckled.

"It hurts and I want a massage after I recover." Zach feels like he's dying but the nanomites are working his body. Although he's wearing a bulletproof coat, he still felt the lasers. He upgraded it extra to feel how the laser would react. He will need to upgrade their materials.

"Yeah, I'll do that." She kissed his cheek. Andromeda looked at Wynter. "Baby, you okay?"

       Wynter nodded as she wiped her tears. Zendaya peeked at the small whole as the things crashed. She stood and approached the window.

"Someone just bombed these drones."

"I think it's the Rose Empire." Andromeda gently pushed Zachary and helped him. "Wyntie, baby let's go with others."

       Fin called out everyone checking them. Few are injured from the glasses. Noah checked others and helped them out. Mason helped Zachary to take him to the clinic.

       Zendaya approached the twins who were busy covering the whole house. This is more advanced than they thought. At least they knew that Jacob would attack in two hours or tomorrow. Zendaya approached Casey who stared at the clock. Everything outside became calm as their agents came for rescue.

"Something isn't right," Casey said.

"Yes," Zendaya mumbled.

"I remember it clearly." Zendaya reached Timothy's cold hands as they followed Casey to the foyer. They are reviving Christian.

"That's what I saw," Casey said. "Two days ago. It only means that they plan ahead of them or they find out about Christian in advance."

"Unless they also found something else," Zendaya said.

"If they also find out about Christina, then they will start hunting for Martin Gomez."

       They watched as they took Christian to the clinic. He didn't stop bleeding and Demi followed.

"Something isn't right at all."

       They all went to the control room. Rosie and Zayne are crying while their parents are coaxing them. Zendaya found it bad. Is this the nightmare before Christmas? If their phones didn't vibrate, it might be too late for them. She pulled out her phone. She didn't recognize the number. It's not from the Rose Empire or Knight Empire. It's not from EPUA.

       Aria and Asher entered the control room as Jaxon stayed behind them.

       In the control room, Nathaniel and others are checking the cameras outside and on how it exploded. Someone targeted these drones but it's not from their Empire. The agents are investigating outside and only a few are injured. Natalia at that time is busy injecting them with the nanomites while Cyra is in the clinic to make sure that Christian is safe.

       In the clinic, Demi watched as they put Christian on the capsule. She looked down at her hands that had Christian's blood. Her lips wobbled as they cut Christian's clothes leaving his boxer shorts.

"It will be fine," Dmitri promised her. She hugged her father and waited as Christian was in the capsule for the operation. The lasers had poison and the shot was deep, nearly hitting Christian's heart but as long as the heart is fine, everything will be okay. The heartbeat is what matters since it's the one that releases blood around the body with the nanomites.

       Christian's words saying that he loves her is printed to her mind. She didn't remember him saying that he loves her. But now, she did and she didn't want him to say it while he's struggling and 50-50.

       Back in the control room. Andromeda contacted the person. She told Andel to put it on the air. On the other line, the person answered.

"This is Andromeda Mondragon, you sent us a warning."

"Yes, I did." The man's voice at the other line is concealed. "Sorry that it's quite late. Jacob planned more advanced than I expected."

"Can we meet?"

"No, sweetheart. We couldn't. I just need to make sure that Christian is safe."

"He's injured… and recovering."

"Good."

"I don't know why you are helping us," Andromeda said. "Do I owe you something? Or I owe this one?"

"You don't owe me, sweetheart. I owe you and your family big."

       Andromeda couldn't think of a person that would help them. Is it Ilya? What if it's Ilya? No. She's sure that it's not Ilya.

"I just need to make sure that he's safe. That's all that matters. I know that this is a very traumatic Christmas. I'm sorry for those little ones that have to see it."

"Thank you," Andromeda said sincerely.

"As I said, I owe you and your family. Goodbye." The person from the other line hung up.

"Did you detect it?" She asked Andel.

"I did. He's just nearby."

"Good. Let's not know about him further. It's better that way, for him to be safe too."
