Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

   Andrea already prepared the necklace a long time ago when her son started dating and it's the right time for Stanley to give the necklace back to Luna. Luna gave it back to her after Stanley left her. It's a sad story. Andrea like Luna so much that she had loved her like a real daughter. She's true and she knew that Luna can't cheat on Stanley because she had given everything, she had to him. 

   She doesn't exactly know what happened, but she make someone guard her everywhere she goes. Andrea is wishing that they would get back together and it happened because Steven showed it to Stanley. 

"Now, girls you look beautiful!" She clasped her hand and admired Freya and Luna. "Oh, Freya, stop frowning. You are beautiful." 

   Freya exhaled and glared at the dress that she's wearing. 

"You and your son are the only ones that make me wear a dress." She muttered. Andrea laughed. 

"Good." 

"It's annoying." She muttered and rolled her eyes. Andrea hold her mouth to avoid laughing so loud. 

"I know, dear. However, you only need to do this during our family events or maybe bigger parties." She winked. 

   Freya wasn't comfortable with stilettos, so Andrea let her wear the wedges. She hated the makeup and it's a little itchy. Then Steven came up and peek on them. 

"Beautiful ladies!" Steven swiftly walk toward Freya to her back and hugged her tightly. "You are so beautiful!" 

"Stop it." She said coldly. But Steven didn't take her coldness to heart and he kissed her neck and muttered words to her ear. 

"I'll make love to you more later." 

   She sighed and just agreed to the dress. Andrea told Steven to wait outside and then she faced the two.

   Luna stared at herself in the mirror and her complex is getting better. Her hair is bouncy like before and then she turned to Freya who is frowning. 

"You are beautiful, stop frowning," Luna told her. 

"Exactly." Andrea agreed to her. "Well, girls." She gave them a black velvet box and they took it. They open it at the same time and Luna gaped. "The two of you are already part of this family." 

"I—I can't accept this," Freya said and Andrea stared at the phoenix necklace that she's wearing. 

"My son is in love with you. He never fell in love with anyone else. Accept it. You are always part of our family. Not just because you are Steven's girlfriend, but Phoenix is our family." 

"What if I am not the woman that Steven is going to marry?" She asked. 

"I don't think so." Andrea winked. Then she faced Luna to help her with the necklace. "Wear it whenever you are ready." She told Freya. 

   Freya doesn't know what to feel about it. She sighed and didn't put it on her. She walked out of the room with them and Steven smile wide at her. There's a little commotion downstairs and they went downstairs to find a few family members. She cursed a little and then when Alex Mondragon spotted her, he waved his hand to her indicating her to come closer. 

   She sighed and walk gracefully downstairs toward the old man. He stood straight in front of her and she bowed her head. 

"How are you, Master?" That's right, Alex Mondragon trained her as well. 

"You are taller than I thought," Alex said and then glanced at the twins. "Who are you dating?" 

"I am not dating anyone. I was just fucking him." She muttered. He laughed and pat his shoulder. 

"You are dating one of my grandsons. That's good. Your cousin is already marrying my granddaughter." She glanced at Selina who is too clingy around Fin. 

   She sighed and looked down at the box that she's holding then she looked up at him. 

"I don't know about my future." She told. 

"You don't need any visions to see your future. You are the one who decides on what future you wanted. You are always welcome to our family." 

"Thank you."

   Luna felt shy around and now she's meeting the whole Mondragon Clan. Andromeda known to be the badass among them, greet her warmly and said that she can call her anytime if she needed help. She thanked her and she glanced at Andrea who only winked at her and Stanley, approached her and led her to her seat. 

"Pregnant women need to take their seats!" Steven calls out. "Selina, come here baby girl." 

   Fin led her to her seat and then Steven called out Freya. Freya frowned at him and he approached her and kissed her lips. 

"I am not pregnant." She said sharply. 

"I know. I'm just assuming." He winked at her. Freya thought that she might be pregnant at all but… what if she's not? Then if she's not it's a good thing. 

   The dinner goes on and everyone greeted Luna and they have their gifts to her. Which are not for the baby but her. She thanked them one by one and she's so tired. She yawned many times and Stanley held her hand under the table and muttered to her softly. 

"I am fine." She told him and pushed his hand away. She continued eating and then they talked a little more in the dinner and talked about the epidemic that will soon become a great crisis in the city. They will probably become more disastrous than they thought. 

   They are talking more and more about the issue and how they will help in the community. Mondragon is known as compassionate. It's how they are raised by their great grandfather and great grandmother. 

"Why am I not invited to this dinner?" They all stopped and turn their heads to Kathleen with Paula. Edmond frowned and Andromeda tilt her head and chew her cheek. 

   Kathleen is supposed to be in Hawaii and now she had entered the country. 

"Guards take her away and send her to the facility. She needed to be checked, or else we are all contaminated here." Andy said loud and clear. "There are pregnant people as well." 

   The guard immediately moved closer to Kathleen. 

   Luna shuddered and looked away. Kathleen kept her eyes on her and then she pushed the guards. 

"I heard that my friends are in jail." 

"Yes," Andrea said and solemnly explained to her. "They intruded to Luna's house and trying to kill her. Dear, I think you need to be self-quarantined first." 

   Stanley noticed that she's not comfortable around Kathleen, so he need to take her away. 

"Please excuse us," Stanley said and he took Luna's hand. "I think Luna is tired." 

"Yes, dear. We are going to discuss about this lockdown that the President is going to implement." Andrea said. 

"Yes, please let me know for any family plan." He said and lead Luna upstairs with his hand at the small of her back. 

   Freya noticed it and then she glanced at Andromeda. 

"Take her and her mother away. They need to be self-quarantined first." Andy agreed to Andrea and then soon the guards take them away. 

   Andromeda frowned and sighed. 

"I think we need to sanitize the whole area." Andy stood from her seat and leave the dining room and follow Kathleen and Paula outside. 

   She frowned at them and crossed her arms. 

"How dare you throw us out?" Kathleen said aloud to Andy. She only crossed her arms and glanced at Paula who rose her chin. 

"What? You aren't tested yet since you left the country. We don't even know where you came from and on what kind of viruses you caught. I am the heiress of this family and I have the right to protect this family." 

   Kathleen exhaled and bit her lip to control her temper over Andromeda. 

"I don't have any virus or anything!" 

"Yeah. You can say that to yourself. But you should be tested first." She waved the guards and then she told them to take them away. 

   Edmond approached them and glanced at Andromeda. 

"You need to listen to Andromeda," Edmond told Kathleen. "Don't be hardheaded. You left the country without telling us. Now, you should suffer the consequences." Then he glared at Paula. "Tell your mother not to show up at any dinner parties of Mondragon. She's not a part of this family anymore." He said sharply and it's the first time that Kathleen felt a sharp pain on her chest from her father's words. "Both of you had done enough to disgrace this family. Once or twice is enough." 

   Edmond turned back and went back inside. Andromeda sighed and smirked at them. 

"Well, what a great show?" She turned back and Zachary a few meters behind her. "Hey." She smiled wide at him. 

"Let's go back inside for dessert." He reached his hand to her and she took it. They went back inside, and Kathleen and Paula watched them in envy. 

"I can't believe that that bitch had got into Mondragon," Kathleen muttered and get back to their car. One bodyguard drove them to the facility. 

"What do you mean?" Paula asked. "Was she supposed to be away from Stanley?" Paula reached out to her mirror in her purse. 

"Yes! These stupid men got caught up. They even intrude inside her house." Kathleen muttered, her brows are creased, and she's pissed. "If Luna tells Stan that I was there, I will kill her." Then Kathleen glanced at the driver that had an earpiece on his ear. They got ignored by the guard.
