Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

        Raiden heard what Casey said. Suddenly a little memory came into his mind. It\'s Bianca with a traying telling him that she wanted to meet Casey personally but he didn\'t know what else happened. He approached Rhys.

"I need to know what happened a month ago." He grabbed Rhys to the corner away from others.

​​

"Well, you hate me," Rhys said. "I mean, after three weeks or I think it\'s two weeks… I felt something not right. Mom said that you will just need to relax somewhere for a month. But we find out recently when you texted me that you are sorry and you love me. So, we have to find you for approximately three weeks. We last locate your phone in the Maldives but it\'s dead and when we reached the hospital you weren\'t there."

"What else? Don\'t leave me hanging." Raiden asked desperately.

"You sold your penthouse so Bianca can\'t locate you or me or mom and other Phoenix. We just recently found that you are just near. Since all of the cameras around the city have only 30 days of retention. It\'s hard to recover a few recordings even though we\'ll use our ultimate hacking skills."

        Raiden exhaled.

"Then, we just find out recently that you fly to London with Charlotte so you could meet her parents."

"No, what I mean about me and Bianca."

        Rhys covered his mouth.

"Do not ever mention that girl! She\'s bad news."

        Raiden creased his brows completely offended.

"Damn!"

        Raiden took the tablet to checked the recordings if there are saved recordings in the house.

"Why did Casey ban me from the treehouse."

"That\'s also because of Bianca," Rhys said. "You see, you should just forget Bianca. And how can you damn forget Charlotte! Did you know that she takes care of you after your operation even though she\'s sick? If you keep searching about Bianca, you better fix yourself buddy or else mom would kill you."

        Raiden stopped and looked at Charlotte and Casey as they talked more about paintings and other kinds of stuff. 

 They have their lunch and then, there\'s so much talking going on. Freya already set up things for a family dinner that would be tomorrow.

"Do you still have the energy for shopping?" Freya asked Charlotte.

"We should have a shopping today," Chelsea said. Raiden didn\'t say anything at all. He\'s not used to someone taking care of his foods in front of his family. But Charlotte is very selfless and didn\'t care about herself while she\'s putting food on his plate.

        Charlotte stopped and looked at Raiden.

"If you aren\'t that tired, you can go shopping," Raiden said to her. She nodded.

"Sure," Charlotte smiled.

"You don\'t have to ask permission from Raiden," Freya said. "In this family, we rule everything here. Right, babe?" Freya sneered at Steven. Steven nodded.

"Yeah, sure. Anything you girls wanted and like." Steven said. "Don\'t be shy, Charlotte. We are your family now. But, still, Raiden has to provide everything for you." Steven highlights the last sentence to get Raiden\'s attention.

        He looked up at him and Steven glared at him.

"What?" Raiden asked.

"You keep eating and yet you aren\'t serving your wife," Steven said strictly. Raiden felt embarrassed. Now, his family is torturing him because of Charlotte.

"No. I\'m fine. I am not that hungry. Besides, Raiden needs to eat more." Charlotte said. 

        After their family lunch, Charlotte went upstairs to find something to wear for shopping. Raiden entered the room and closed it. He sat on the bed and she rummaged in the closet. He frowned. She didn\'t have anything to wear. He should talk to her because he was embarrassed at the table.

        She looked at him and smiled. She approached him and sat beside him. She pulled his arm and she scooped his waist and hugged him.

        Raiden felt the guiltiness and that makes his stomach aches. He hugged her back.

"I\'m sorry." He whispered.

"For what?"

"Just forgive me, Charlotte. I can\'t remember anything about you."

"You forget me twice… what can I do about it?"

        A knock on the door makes both of them stop. Charlotte went to the door and open it. Casey and Chelsea smiled.

"Let\'s go." They are only wearing casual clothes, t-shirt and denim shorts, and flipflops. She looked at her clothes and followed them. They gave the flipflops that are perfectly fit her. Then, they hopped into the car.

        They soon arrived at the mall and entered the expensive boutiques. Then, she looked around and caress the dress that captures her eyes. She took the tag and her eyes widen. Damn, she didn\'t even have money. She didn\'t bring any money. Chelsea raised a gold card and gave it to her.

"That\'s Raiden\'s card. Waste it."

        Charlotte looked at it and suddenly remember that Raiden used to buy things for Bianca. Well, she had to stop thinking about it. He also promised to buy everything for her. But not like this. Not by taking his card. 

"Can I call Raiden?" She asked.

"Why?" Chelsea asked.

"I just want to talk to him."

        Chelsea took out her phone and called Raiden. Then, she gave it to her. The two looked around.

"Hey?"

"Raid, it\'s Charlotte."

"What\'s up?"

"Chelsea gave me your card."

"Oh~~yeah… just buy anything you wanted. It\'s unlimited. Okay? The code is 1209."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, just waste it, darling. Enjoy your shopping."

"Okay." She hung up and gave Chelsea\'s phone back.

        She looked around the store and only buy clothes. Then, they went to another after another. Mostly, Chelsea and Casey are choosing clothes for her since she doesn\'t buy lots of things.

<><><><><> 

        Raiden is in the control room as he checked the footage on the date that he brought Bianca into the house. He frowned at Bianca\'s action as she insists on going to Casey\'s treehouse that makes Casey so pissed. Casey banned him and he continued loving Bianca, making love to her and all. Then, he just remembered that Bianca is on top of Rhys\'s and he punched Rhys and left the Philippines.

"Sorry!" Raiden hugged his brother dramatically. Rhys pushed.

"Yeah, you should be sorry for hitting me! You almost choose that woman over your family."

        Raiden jumped to Rhys and hugged him tightly.

"I\'m so sorry, big bro."

"Now, you understand that Bianca isn\'t for you? And Charlotte is for you because you choose to elope with her in the Maldives?"

"Yeah!"

"Then, ask forgiveness from your wife. Did you know that she went through so much because of you?!" Rhys started scolding him.

"I\'m sorry."

        Rhys pushed him away.

"Now, forget about Bianca and take care of your wife. She looked so thin and feed her more!" Rhys scolded.

        Raiden lay down on the floor feeling depressed and he smacked his head just to remember everything.

"Wait, have you drank the detox?" Rhys asked.

"Cyra will deliver it today."

"Good! You can make love with Charlotte! Hopefully, you\'ll remember everything!" Rhys said sounding so excited.

"You sound excited than I am."

"Why not? Charlotte is so beautiful. You are lucky. Plus, she\'s very caring."

        Raiden rolled his eyes.

"You complimented her a lot."

"Yes, sorry but to compare your ex-girlfriend. She\'s more an angel than Bianca."

        Rhys took the tablet and showed Bianca\'s posts with him as tagged in there. Bianca said bad things about him and about the girl that he\'s with. Then, she showed that she\'s with someone else already.

"Wow, this is worst," Raiden said and checked few things. "And where\'s my phone?"

"It\'s a wreck as hell. You need a new one. But it seemed like you bought another phone…" Rhys rolled his eyes remembering that he didn\'t have Rhys number on it. "Oh, by the way, let\'s forget everything. I also meet a friend. She\'s an amazing person and she\'s the one who comforts me while I am crying my balls out because you left me without hearing me."

"I\'m sorry!" Raiden cry dramatically and hugged Rhys again. Rhys pushed him away.

"Save your sorry. You worried us too much! And you even managed to dodged few security cameras although you leave few traces…"

        Raiden doesn\'t remember such a thing. But there might be a reason why he\'s dodging it. Someone wanted to kill them. That\'s what Charlotte said but that someone is already dead. That\'s why his instinct told him to hide away although he didn\'t have enough memories at that moment.

"Why are you so pissed?"

"Because your secretary didn\'t also know where you moved out after you sold your penthouse!"

"Oh, shit! Mom almost kill me!"

"Yeah, she just held back herself when we find out from Maldives crew that you got into an accident and went to Manhattan with your wife and after a day, you left to London and I\'m too late when I found your penthouse."

"Waaaahh!" Raiden spread his arms and legs. "I\'m doomed!"

"Yes, your smartwatch is also broken and you deactivated the tracker that\'s why we can\'t track you!"

"Don\'t kill me, Rhys! Help me! Save me from mom\'s torture!"

"No." Rhys shook his head.

"Forgive me!"

"No." Rhys crossed his arms. "You have to make it up to your wife first."

"I will!"

        The door opened, and Cyra crossed her arms.

"What\'s with you being a drama King?" Cyra asked.
