Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

        Zendaya sighed and massaged her forehead. Everything her mother is doing is crazy. But at least, she could catch up. But she liked more of action and other crazy physical stuff than this. She stretched her arms and yawned.

"Push up!" Andy told her. She did start five push-ups and then squats. Then she sat back and go back to work.

​​

"This is crazy." Zendaya groaned.

"I know."

"I should\'ve just come on the trip to the mountains."

"Nope." Andy shook her head. "I need you here."

        Zendy groaned and massaged her head.

"Damn it!" She mumbled.

"Maybe after this, I could go to Tim?"

"No." Andy casually said and continue on her work. "Your father and Tim are working for upgrades of the suits. Although they distributed the latest suit, there still need upgrades. Perhaps, we could check it if, Bea and others were attacked by rogues or something." She mumbled.

"You said it like it\'s normal." Zendy creased her brows.

"Yeah, it\'s normal. It\'s normal in that area." Andy told.

        Sophia is tired. Bea could see that. She\'s not an athletic person but she knows all of the martial arts that their father taught her. But there\'s Ashton who held her bag and caught her arm before she trips.

        On the other hand, Noah is very caring toward her. Bea loved the touching and if she could only have him in solo while they are hiking, she probably would\'ve seduced him a lot until he gave in. But her plan isn\'t going to work while they are hiking. Maybe, these little touching is doing something for Noah but not enough when they are alone.

"Are we there yet?" Sophia asked.

"Not yet, we still need to walk across the river," Jaxon said.

"What the fuck?!" Sophia exclaimed. She doesn\'t usually curse but at this moment, she is freaking cursing.

"Baby girl, there\'s still a long way for you to have a boyfriend," Rhys said.

"I don\'t need a boyfriend. I am not that desperate like the two of you." Sophia said bluntly and they laughed.

"Stop teasing her." Raiden murmured to Rhys. "You know that her tongue is like arrows."

"Keep reminding me that." Rhys murmured back.

"It\'s low-tide," They finally reached the river. "This is the first river."

"I wonder why all of these years… they never make a hanging bridge here or something."

        They stopped first to rest, and Bea took out her tablet from her bag. Since it\'s waterproof and even though it will soak in the water—it will float. She turned on her camera to measure the height and width of the river. It automatically calculates the camera and she captured it at every angle.

"How many rivers?" Bea asked Noah.

"Just this one."

"Okay." She nodded and looked at Sophia. "Sophia, are you ready to get wet?"

        Sophia rolled her eyes and shrugged.

"I\'ll carry you," Ashton said.

        Christian knelt as Demi put her thighs over Christian\'s shoulders and he held her hand as he stood.

"Can we do that?" Rhys and Raiden asked Jaxon.

"Boys you are taller than girls." Jaxon patted their head. Ashton knelt and Sophia did as what Demi did and then Bea and Noah followed. So, with their weight, they won\'t easily get swayed by the water. Noah even held a big stone as he walked in the water. Bea grabbed on Noah\'s hair and then she placed her hand over his forehead to hold it.

"I\'m not heavy?" Bea asked.

"Not really."

        It\'s at least a few meters away. They finally reached the other side. They rest for a while and Bea wrapped her arms around Noah. Noah patted her head and kissed her forehead. So much for restrain. Now, they can\'t get enough of each other.

"Can you still hike up?" He asked.

"Yup." She nodded.

"The two of you really should stop flirting," Sophia said.

"Yeah, you should stop flirting." Rhys and Raiden added. Bea glared at them and wrapped her arms around his waist tighter.

*****

        It takes six hours until they reached it. Sophia, Rhys, and Raiden dramatically fall on the grass and hold it. Finally! When they reached there, the teachers and some of the people who will be working with them had already prepared their food.

        They have two bathrooms for girls and boys and then, rooms for them. Rooms made of tents.

"Let\'s stay together." Bea murmured to him.

"Bea," he weaned and looked around the tent. The tent has a partition and each partition have their personal belongings. It also had an-AC since it\'ll be hot in the morning. "I\'ll be in the other tent."

"Christian and Demi will be sleeping together." She pouted at him.

        The folding beds are made of bamboo and it\'s very comfortable, but it\'s only made for a single person. She watched as Demi and Christian lifted the partition and they connected their bed and put an air mattress on top of it.

        She pouted at him. Noah smiled and nodded at her.

"I\'ll set it up, okay?" He said softly and she grinned.

        Sophia is frowning at them, but Bea told her not to tell dad. Bea helped Sophia to set up her bed and then put her clothes on a bamboo made drawers.

"So, you wanted to do it with him here?" Sophia asked her.

"Yup. Because I don\'t want to do it with him in the city. You know my visions about Noah getting assassinated."

"Okay," Sophia nodded.

"So, to counter it, I have to do it here with him and then, if ever we do it in the city, I\'ll probably seduce him to my room."

"I don\'t want to hear any more of it." Sophia covered her ears.

"So, Ashton will be beside your space and I\'ll be with Noah. Okay? Just call me if you need anything. But not on the time where I am busy with Noah."

"Please, stop it." She hissed at her.

        Bea only laughed. She fixed her spot after Noah connected their bed and since each of them has that air mattress, they easily put it over it and it\'s just perfect for the twin bed.

"Let\'s eat." He told as he held her hand.

        They went outside to eat, and the food is ready on the table. They gather up their silver plates and started eating and laughing and whatever it is for their late dinner.

        Demi and Christian are always clinging at each other. Demi, sitting at Christian\'s lap as they feed each other. Somehow, Bea didn\'t find it annoying anymore. Back then, when she\'s alone and annoyed that there\'s a lot of PDA from left to right that involved Demi and Zendaya. Now, it seemed to be too normal.

        They will start working tomorrow for whatever plans it is. But thinking about it, Bea wanted to also start for the bridge. Materials are already in the other tent and they needed more of it.

"What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?" He asked softly.

"Anything. A little heavy."

"Okay. You\'ll work hard for it, huh."

        She giggled and nodded.

"I need to call Dad for the other project. It\'s hard to go through here because of the river. We need to install a temporary hanging bridge while we are going to make the iron bridge that will be higher so if there\'s a flood, the water won\'t reach it." She told. "We also need to work on some stairs up here."

"Wow," He nodded. "Okay. Let\'s work it tomorrow."

        After their dinner, they waited for their turn to the bath. They are soaked on the water and sweats and dirt, so they need to bath before going to sleep and start the day.

        Noah waited as Bea take a bath last. She came out wearing her bathrobe and he held her hand as they went to their tent.

"No one should snore," Sophia said glaring at the twins.

"We don\'t snore." The twins said.

"The two of you snore loudly."

        Sophia took out some device and gave it to them.

"Put it on or else I\'m going to kill the two of you in your sleep."

        Noah laughed at them as Bea entered their corner to dress up. He waited outside until she\'s dressed up. Bea opened the curtain and pulled him, then she zipped it down. Noah froze seeing her naked.

"Why are you naked?" He whispered. She only grinned at him and she pushed him on the bed. He swallowed hard as she crawled on top of him and sat on his tap.

        He roamed his eyes on her beautiful body down to her very private one. He exhaled and he sat up.

"Let\'s cool down," Noah told her.

"What?" She creased her brows.

"Let\'s go out."

        He gently put her aside and he took the silk dress and put it on her. Then, he also took the silk robe and wrapped it around her. He then put her slippers on and take her outside.

"Noah," She pouted at him. He seemed to be in a panic.

        They went out to the beautiful tree full of fireflies.

"Noah!" She shouted at him. He stopped and turned to her. "You forget underwear." She whispered and he froze.

"Oh." Then, they laughed.
