Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

 Kale had taken a hot bath. It's so soothing, and now, he's grooming himself.

 Samantha had removed his cast yesterday, and his bones are back to normal, and he didn't feel any pain at all. Maybe Cyra's microbots are that effective. So far, there are no side effects, and Cyra seemed to be restless.

"I'll treat you to the spa and other stuff," Kale told her.

"You can buy me a house," Cyra said, and she packed up her laptop and other equipment.

"But you already have a pretty house and a laboratory back to your parents' house," Kale told.

"I know. But I need my own house."

"Not until you are twenty." Kale brushed his hair up. He turned around. "Mom, do I look handsome?" Kale asked. Luna nodded.

 Kale faced the mirror again.

"When Esme turned eighteen, I'll woo that girl." He mumbled. 

Cyra creased her brows.

"You like Esme?" Cyra crossed her arms.

"Yes, why not?"

"Pedophile."

 Kale turned to Cyra, feeling completely hurt.

"I said when she turned eighteen," Kale told her.

"Esme is twelve years old. You should find someone close to your age. Old man." Cyra locked her briefcase and took her jacket.

"Hey, you little kid. I am not a pedophile. I said when she turned eighteen. That's not a complete pedophile." Kale told.

"Partially pedophile?" Cyra rose her brows. "What do you actually like about Esme?"

"She's a bright adorable girl. Besides, I admire her a lot." He told.

 She rolled her eyes and left the room.

"Do you mean it?" Luna asked him as she held out the coat for him.

"Yeah." Kale winked at her mother.

"Esme is too young. You'll meet more girls of your age, and it'll take years for Esme to turn eighteen. You'll eventually forget about this conversation." Luna fixed his hair and then his necktie.

"What if I won't?" Kale asked.

"Whatever you say, Kale. Let's go. Your siblings are waiting."

 Everyone gathered in the old Mondragon Mansion. The house is designed into some hunted house. There are creepy dolls, a real-life grim reaper. And they are wearing black and white with red attire.

 Zendaya fixed the dragon brooch to Timothy's suit and also his hair.

"What?" Timothy asked.

"Nothing." She shrugged and there's the upcoming car. One of the bodyguards opened the car door at the backseat and Cyra come out with her briefcase and bag.

 Their father is almost like running to her. Zachary hugged Cyra and kissed her forehead. Then, their brothers also approached Cyra, and they looked adorable as they hugged their sister.

"Piss off! I need to bath." Cyra pushed them. Luke and Logan showed their fangs to her. She only looked at them and left.

"Didn't she like our fangs?" Luke asked Logan.

"Your fangs look fine. The girls are scared of it." Logan went to Lizzi and scared her with his fangs. Lizzi screamed and smacked his face and run.

 Zendaya laughed so hard and she exhaled. Timothy also enjoyed it and Lizzi take Asher with her and bring him to Logan. Asher put his werewolf mask to scared Logan and Logan acted scared and runoff. Lizzi laughed and she raised her hands to Asher for him to carry her. Asher carries her back inside.

"Let's go." Zendaya pulled Timothy inside the mansion and they waited for Kale's grand entrance.

 Cathy is in the corner sipping on some champagne with the twins, Natalia and Nathaniel. Everyone is gathered in the family room and then, someone screamed aloud, and they looked at the foyer as Kale hides from his mother's back. A walking zombie just appeared in front of him.

 Cathy's eyes widen. Kale is good as new. Like he never got a scratch from the accident. But how? How is it possible for all of his injuries to disappear in a few hours?"

"Kale!" They all shouted. The first one to run is Esme and Kale hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead and temple.

 Then, the twins Rhys and Raiden hugged him tightly and even jumped to his back. He only laughed like it was nothing. Like he's never been from the death. Kale is supposed to be paralyzed because of the big impact of the accident. But he could carry Rhys at his back.

 Kale hugged everyone and Cathy started tearing as she watched Kale walking to her direction. She hugged him tightly and cried on his chest. Kale patted her head.

"Why? How is it possible?" She pushed him gently and Kale only wink.

She thought that they just faked it. So, whatever they did, she will just zip her mouth.

"I'm okay now, don't worry too much. Okay?" Kale caressed her hair and she nodded. He wiped her tears and hugged her.

 Kade watched as Kale put food on Esme's food and telling her to eat a lot. He thought that it's just brotherly care but then, he thought that it's not. Kade sighed and continue eating his food.

 He needed to focus on a few business shits that his father gave to him. They eat happily and talked about the missions and other arrangements that are going to change. Butlers and Maids from the Knight Empire will be distributed.

 They didn't say anything else since Cathy is there. They don't usually leak confidential information with other people. But Timothy and Christian are different although their family is their mortal enemy.

 He just didn't understand by they would take such people in their family. But what can he do? Two heiresses are in love with those people.

"Let's play something thrilling tonight," Allison suggested with a smirk.

"Hide and seek." He mumbled. Allison winked at him.

"That's good!" Christian agreed. "Timothy hasn't tried to play it with us."

"Is Kale able to play such a thing?" Luna asked.

"Mom, it's just hide-and-seek," Kale said with a little laugh.

"Fine, if you say so." Luna shook her head.

"Can we play too?" Zavannah asked.

"Yes, I want that too." Lizzi excitedly said to her father.

"Sure, Princess." Andel nodded and feed her the vegetable soup.

"So, it's on," Zendaya smirked.

"How does this work?" Timothy asked. "I felt like I was in a movie of Ready or Not." Timothy shuddered a little.

"Well, we'll group. The hider and the seeker. Then, the hider will hide until they can, but they shouldn't get caught by the seeker." Zendaya explained.

"And what will happen?" Timothy asked.

"Once the seekers caught the hiders and brought them to the base—they win. Whoever wins will be treated like a King and Queen by the losers."

"That was harsh," Timothy mumbled.

"They will also need to drink a nasty thing."

"We should win this," Zavannah said and looked at Lizzi. "We can't be treated as a lowly person."

"I agree with you." Lizzi nodded.

"The two of you should be separated," Kade said to them. But they shook their heads.

"Princesses will stay together." The two said at the same time.

"How about me?" Odin asked.

"The three of you should separate," Kade said. "Kids are good at hiding."

 Lizzi and Vannah looked at him with their creased brows.

"Sorry," Kade mumbled.

 Laurence watched as Kale attend Esme more than Cathy. He shook his head. He didn't have the appetite to eat anymore. Kale makes his comeback without any scratch and he's attending more of his sister than anyone. He can't let Kale take advantage of his baby sister.

"I'll pass," Laurence mumbled.

"No, you can't!" Zendaya exclaimed. Laurence only sighed. "Hey, you can't."

"Alright," Laurence mumbled. "You know that I can't say 'no' to you." He rolled his eyes.

"Yes, you can't say no," Zendaya smirked at him.

"I am so game with it," Kale said. "I survive from death and I am ready to play on."

 Mrs. Gomez is breaking everything inside her room. She screamed as her chest heave.

"Mom," Her daughter massaged her forehead and looked at the mess.

"Go out!"

 Her daughter shook her head.

"Mom, I'm leaving. I don't want to stay here any longer. I know what you and dad have been doing. I can't take it. I'm going to America and start there."

"Christina!" Mrs. Gomez scolded. "Go back to your room."

"I'm sorry, mom. I know that you screw your bodyguard. I know that dad fuck different women. I know that my Uncle raped the maid and killed her. I know that Joey has been raping and fucking girls and threatening them. You think it's easy for me to handle it all?" Christina's tears rolled down her cheek. "I just can't believe that you would continue firing back to the Mondragon. We are just a bunch of flies while they are Dragons that could blow us a fire anytime."

 Mrs. Gomez approached her and slapped her face.

"Do not ever downgrade our name!"

 Christina sobbed, and she stepped back.

"I already did. I pity you that you need to fuck a bodyguard. I pity all of you for not being content." She turned back and rushed to her room.

 Mrs. Gomez reached her heart. She felt broken. Her daughter never talked back to her but now—it's different. Her perfect family in everyone's eyes is now a mess.
