Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress Chapter 80
Advertisement
Andromeda is facing her computer built-in on a protective armored case. She kept monitoring the blinking of the red light located in Madagascar. She started writing the blinked since it seemed to be a message.
"Morse code." She muttered and started writing it letters by letters.
Morse code can be detected through beeping or signal lights. Sight and hearing are used with this code.
"A-G-E-N-T. Agent." She muttered. "F-O-X. Fox." She continues monitoring it. "S-E-N-D H-E-L-P. J-U-N-G-L-E. W-A-R."
She washed her face with her palms in frustration. What if, this is a trap? And someone had learned about her secret mission. The mission that she only knew and Agent Fox? She thought that he's already dead after searching for years.
Jungle war. It is the code that they talk about when terrorists would hunt down species and find the treasure that they've been searching for years. The contents of the treasure are gold and gems. But they aren't after those but the scroll that an ancient tribe hide that contains the future of the world.
She must fund Fox. Only he could tell her what happened and how is there a jungle war? Okay, so she contemplated for a while. If she sends someone to help, she will jeopardize their secret mission if she sends untrusted ones or even maybe people she trusted. She doesn't know who to trust with this kind of mission but herself.
Someone knocks on the door that interrupted her. She closed the briefcase and Zach open the door. She smiled at him sweetly and stood from her swivel chair. She strode to him and kissed his lips.
"You came home early?"
"You seemed busy." He wrapped his arms around her.
"Yeah, just work." She took him out and helped him undress. "I haven't cooked dinner, so I told our maids to do it." She put all his clothes to the laundry basket and help him pick up something comfortable.
"How's your day?" He asked her.
She understood that it's one of his way to get information about her work. He's that overprotective that he wanted to know every dangerous mission. The secret mission that she's been hiding for four years was the one in Madagascar and she never let him know and lied to him. It's white lies just to protect him from getting too worried. She loved him so much and she doesn't want him to get involved and get hurt.

"It's good. I got to cook for you and visit you at your office." They walk hand in hand downstairs to the dining room.
Their dinner is settled from the twelve-seater table. She reached the turkey and put a piece on his plate. She also put fresh lettuce.
"You've been so busy, honey?" She asked.
"Yes, lots of meetings and meet up with new investors. It's hard to choose wisely about the investors and I must double-check their background. We are attracting more investors these days."
"It's good news honey, right?"
"Yeah." He sliced a small piece of turkey to his mouth. She's only eating a vegetable salad without dressing and she continued feeding him with green leafy vegetables with the turkey meat.
"Just tell me if you need help." She said.
"Thank you, my Goddess. I have to provide for us, but I'll let you know." He winked. "Love, you don't have to work hard. You knew that I could give you a luxury living that would last for a thousand years."
"I know. But it's the responsibility…"
"Okay. If that's what you wished so be-it. All I care about is your safety."
"I know. Don't worry. I will be very careful. Okay?"
They talk for a while just about their day and flashbacks from their past. Then they went to their room and watch TV and some random movie. The movie is all about high school and just like that, they talked about it.
"I remember that you got a very obsessed suitor back in high school." He told. "I was watching you from afar and you ignored everyone."
"Really?" she asked puzzled from his statement. "I didn't remember it all."
"Yeah, because once you see the letter you just looked at it and give it to your seatmate."
"You are stalking me?" She asked facing him. They are at different levels, but she never got a chance to be in freshmen and sophomore because of her intellect. So she transferred to the third level.
"No. I happened to saw you many times. But the guy transferred when your brother confronted him."

"Hmm." She rubbed her chin. "Maybe I know the guy and maybe I ignore it many times."
"Anyway… let's sleep." He put away the glass from her and carried her to bed.
He put her down carefully and lay beside her covering the duvet on their body. They face each other and talk a little more. Andy straddled his other leg on him and kissed his chin.
"Goodnight, my husband."
"Goodnight, my Goddess."
Once that he's asleep, she left the bed and went to her study room and continue monitoring the red beep. She kept writing the Morse Code and it said the same. She packed up her things for tomorrow and lay down beside her husband and sleep for that night.
***
Andel and Ellen are wandering around Morocco and Andel already booked a flight to the Bahamas. It's a few long trips and Ellen looked so pale.
"You want to go back to the country?" He asked. She's been sick due to jetlag and traveling through different time zones. She nodded. "Oh, poor little girl. I'll bring you back home." He patted her head. He kept her hydrated since the heat in Morocco is extreme.
He put his backpack in his front and give her a piggyback ride to their hotel. He took care of her first, making sure that she's fine before they travel again back home. Once that she recovered for eight hours, he packed up and they went directly to the airport. He felt bad for Ellen and making her travel like this.
But anyway, she said that she enjoys the sight-seeing. So, the feeling of bad lessens a little. It takes a few hours for them to reach the Philippines and he drove his car that is just sitting on the parking lot of the airport that he paid for to her penthouse.
She immediately sat on her sofa and Andel fetched her a glass of warm water. She ranked it all and thank him.
"I am fine." She told him.
"I won't leave until you get better." He said. "It's my fault after all."
He prepared a warm bath in her jacuzzi and then he took a quick hot shower. She's relaxing on the sofa with closed eyes and she looked pale. He put his clothes on and peek on her.
"Do you want food?" he asked.
"No… I don't feel hungry."
"Okay." He rummaged in her fridge full of fruits and vegetables. He made a fruit salad and did make her try to eat a little. She did and then he told her that her bath is ready.
Andel is relaxing and work didn't make him think of it. He finished the fruit salad when she came out wearing her PJs. She strode to her bed and he followed her and tuck her in. She looked at him with tired eyes.
"Hey, sorry for dragging you into this. But don't worry about your resto. I'll invest and I'll help you."
"Okay."
"Is it okay if I have a sleepover? I'll use the other room."
"Okay." She said with exhales. She turned back from him.
He went to the other bedroom and place covers and pillows on it from the cabinet, reserved for guests. He lay down with a relieved sigh. Finally, a very comfortable bed to sleep in.
Just when he's about to close his eyes, his phone started ringing. He answered it.
"Yeah?" He asked Andy on the other line.
"Moira and I are going to Madison-jungle." She told. (Madison-jungle) is a code for Madagascar.
"What the—it's dangerous, dummy!"
"I have to risk for little information," Andromeda said. "Facilitate while I'm gone and please just resign from Lawson."
"Andy, going there is dangerous. And why do you always call when I need to rest?"
"Hey, just rest in peace. Forget that we have this kind of conversation." Then Andy hung up.
Fuck! He doesn't know why she would go all the way to Madagascar for that long lost spy.

The Yes-Mage
Plenty of people have stopped and asked what it'd be like to simply have everything, and Sylvain Henry Camille Johansson was no different. He was a man who had a lot of things going on, with a name that'd make a supervillain blush and a family who'd make even the useless of their rank into someone important. It was a shame, then, that he was slapped with a dreadfully unfortunate condition that kept him from living up to any of those already low expectations. Stuck living a life where magic is everywhere while he's left working with nothing more than a moderate intellect, a little bit of whatever influence he could get from his family, and a lifetime's practice at making himself the ideal subordinate for his bosses' boss, Vane was still beating the odds and slowly working his way up in the world. When the cunning yes-man finally got a chance to really make a name for himself, he leapt at the offer, taking his first real step onto a road he knew he was always meant to walk. His goal? Nothing less than finding out why he and too many other unfortunate souls are barred from the wonderful world of the higher energies, and with any luck, fixing it. Of course, life has a knack for interfering in even the humblest of plans, and Vane's lofty ideals were anything but humble; he was practically a walking bullseye for disaster. The funny thing about catastrophe, though, is that nobody can ever say what form it's going to take. That’s why, when it all went wrong for Vane, he'd gotten everything he'd ever wanted foisted onto him, and Everything else, too. Watch as a man so used to saying 'yes' to everyone above him finds himself stuck with the power to make reality itself say it back.

The Epiphany Colony
Brad Asher has been a private detective on the Epiphany Colony orbiting Mars for about a year before stumbling into a conspiracy that threatens the safety and stability of the colony. Note that the story here is the first draft and has a lot of ideas, characters, and plotlines that I ended up dropping in the final version that I released here currently available on Kindle Unlimited. The entire second half was restructured, as I ended up not being satisfied with some of the things that I introduced and felt like it had strayed too far from my initial vision of a space-based detective noir story.
