Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress Chapter 28
Advertisement
Kathleen has been visiting Damien's studio wishing if she could peek on Andromeda's gown. But not a single choice. It seemed that Damien is working with something else. She tried to peek on it or even try few gowns to interrupt Damien, but he declined her and said that he got meetings.
Kathleen did everything but damn it. Why can't she just beat her own cousin? She already saw her other cousin's gown. Sabrina who is now married to Gabriel Lawson. It has real gems and it became her dream to wear such gown.
She left the studio and went to meet her friends. She and Andromeda is at the same age and they are in the same batch. One of her friends is an alumni President and now planning for their reunion in three months.
"Your cousin, Andy." Her friend's name Rhian started. "She's getting married to Pattinson, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Zach Pattinson was our heartthrob. Is he going with her?"
"Is Zach really what you wanted or Percy, her brother?" Kathleen said. "They won't even like an inch of you so stop asking me useless questions."
Rhian was taken aback and shut up. From all of them. Kathleen has the most power because she's the granddaughter of the General and his father is now next to be the General. Paul Mondragon. Kathleen bully them and always treat them like her slaves.
Kathleen exhales and sipped on her cappuccino. They all looked at the woman walking like in a runway entering the café and they gape when behind her is the man that they were talking about. Zach was so handsome, tall and bulky that could make their panties falls.
They never seen Zach and Andy together and it seemed like they are too close to be just acquaintance or family friends. Rhian cannot help but to admire the couple. They are indeed perfect for each other.

Zach carefully put a hand around her waist and although Andy was swatting it away, she get tired and just let him.
"Dark Chocolate with no sugar and macchiato." Zac said to the barista.
"I don't drink anymore—" She said, and Zac cover her mouth affectionately and kisses her temple.
Rhian's heart are wide and it's almost a shape of the heart. She admired the couple. It wasn't like she was in love with Zachary. But she just admire them, and it seemed that the chemistry between them is just perfect. Rhian stood and walked to them with looking adorable to adore them.
"Hi. I'm Rhian. Remember? I went to the same school. I am actually here with your cousin Kathleen." They glanced at Kathleen on the other table. "The reunion is in three months. We need someone that could play music. Are you able to play us something?" she's practically asking Zach. "It would be better if Andy would sing." She said with heart eyes.
"I don't sing." Andy said.
"But you sing in our play."
"I was lip-sing." She said. Zach played on her hair and smiled.
"We will perform. Don't worry."
"Thanks, Zach." She excitedly went back to the table and Kathleen was frowning.
Another gorgeous guy came in a suit and his messy hair. He looked at Zach's direction and Rhian's eyes twinkled. Percy Pattinson. Zach's younger brother at the same age of Andy. Well, Zach was two years older than Andy. He's thirty and look younger than his age. But Percy has that baby face and bad guy look. Still handsome.
"Sister in law!" Percy almost threw his arms on her, but Andy is hard to reach.
Kathleen was frowning even more and when Rhian started talking non stop admiring the Pattinson and Mondragon family.

Andy drank her cup and received a message from Andel. She slid her phone and glanced at Percy who talk nonstop about the wedding and what will be the gig for the reception. Andy stood and Zach hold her hand and pulled her back down to seat. Andy frowned at him and he reach her chin.
"Who are you meeting?"
"None of your fucking business." She pulled her hand away.
"It's my business." He said.
"The two of you aren't like this back then. What happened?" Percy asked and Andy froze and then she excused herself and left the café.
She was walking briskly that she didn't notice the stop light for the pedestrian, and someone grabbed her away and to her surprise.
"You damn stupid woman." She exhales and looked up at Andel. "Sis, stop trying to kill yourself okay?" He patted her head.
Andy exhales and shudders although it was 40 degree Celsius. She swallowed hard but the lump on her throat avoiding her from swallowing.
"Did the guy hurt you again?"
"No." She hugged herself. "Andel, was I really stupid? I get drunk and still love him. I woke up trying to get away from him, but I still love him."
Andel feel broken for his cousin. He loved his cousins and his favorite cousins is her and Sabrina. Although he was single and don't have heartbreaks, he felt like he's feeling their pain.
"I wanted to hug him and kiss him, tell him that I love him and—" Her heart sound like shattering as she remembers how he left her. It felt so painful like it happened yesterday. "I'm so fucking stupid." She muttered. Andel reach her cold hands and throw his arm at her shoulder.
"Let's just go the ice cream parlor and visit that gown to Damien's secret studio. I must fit my suit. To look good and astonishing in your wedding. That would also make the groom a backdrop."
Andy laughed and nudge him.
"Ice cream and pizza. Then you must burn the calories tonight. It's not like I am counting calories, but you got to look sexy. That beautiful curves should be showed off. Zach would gape at you and droll. Ew…" he muttered. "Damn it. I need to get laid." He murmured.

Between Mountains and Moons
Under the light of the three suns, the scorching sands of The Great Desert test any who are brave and or foolish enough to cross its vast and treacherous expanse. With each passing year, it becomes more and more of a necessity as The Great Desert is ever expanding. Omid knew this as he signed onto a caravan crossing. He knew of the dangers and ancient magics that this unrelenting land holds. He knew of ancient kingdoms long lost, buried by the sands. He knew of the strange in-human inhabitants, the true masters of The Great Desert seeking to expand their dominion and drive humanity to the edges of the world. When he is offered the chance to learn magic from a master, Omid agrees eagerly at the chance to discover such ancient arts, and to even dream of defending against a hostile world and all that would claim to rule it. But nothing in this formidable domain is ever easy, nor simple, nor as it seems. Be vigilant, act with cunning, and always remember to choose your words wisely.

8 136Hacking Reality (A teenage Mad Scientist's story.)
Maya Williams was smart. For the first time however, she realized she might be a little too smart. At least if the fact that a gang had kidnapped her was any indication. But that didn’t matter, because she’d show them. She’d show them all!!! Just as soon as the voices in her head could agree on how to get out of this mess. --- Please Note: This is a version of a forum quest I run following a teenage Mad Scientest with heroic tendencies in the same city/setting as my other stories the Huntsman's Quest and Get Ink'd. Meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
