Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Moira is trying to keep herself calm after her encounter with Andromeda. She stopped walking back to the building when something crossed her mind. Andromeda knows that she's a Mondragon. She exhaled and went to the café to pick up the coffee that her boss wanted.

Once that she had it in her hand, she was surprised when a man is standing in front of her, smiling charmingly at her. It was the man before. He's tall, handsome, have that raven hair, light blue eyes, slender nose—moreover, he's handsome.

"Mr. Alanis."

"Call me, Al." He said. "Mind if I escort you back to your office?"

"Uhm, it's fine. I don't want to take your time. You are a busy person." She rejected it nicely. He sighed and hold his chest dramatically.

"I haven't started courting you, yet you rejected me right on the spot."

She was surprised by his bluntness. She doesn't know what to say. Alanis smiled and extended his hand.

"I'll help you with that."

"I can—"

"I'm trying to be a gentleman." He said. Moira doesn't like boys at all.

She exhales and faced Allanis with sharp eyes.

"Mr. Allanis or whoever you are. I don't care if you are a friend of Andromeda. But leave me alone. I don't have time to enter your fairytale world." Moira thought that he'll be turned off, but he didn't. He smiled sexily and laughed a little.

"Mondragon's are surely fierce. I love it more."

Moira exhales and walked passed him. She opened the door and a woman purposely knocked on her that makes her stumble and almost hit the glass door. The coffee that she's holding flashes down on the floor and big arms wrapped around her from her back to stop her from hitting the glass door.

The woman screamed like a little brat. Moira is surprised and the man behind her whispered in her ear. It sent chills down her goddess.

"Are you alright, my maiden?" Alanis muttered in her ear.

"You!" Kathleen scowl at her and Allanis help her up. Kathleen looked at her from head to toe. "Are you blind?" She asked insolently.

Moira is glad that her boss's food was secured. She looked at the coffee and she's thinking of buying her boss another.

"You are James's assistant, right?" Kathleen asked like a real spoiled brat. She pulled her phone to call James, but Moira just picked up the thrown coffee, put it on the trashbin and went back to the counter to buy another.

She was calm and let Kathleen bicker at her and scowled at her. And she ignored her, and Kathleen wanted a fight and Moira is ready anytime. But Allanis get in between them and pull out bills from his pocket.

"Leave her alone. It's your fault for intently pushing her. Stop bothering her and just buy yourself something." Allanis said. Kathleen's face turned red and Moira swore that she could see smokes from her ears and nose.

"I have money more than you do."

"Oh. Mondragon?" He asked. "I never encounter a Mondragon as spoiled as you." He pulled her hand give her the money. Kathleen is surprised and Moira took the coffee. "Let's go, dear." Alanis put a hand at the small of her back and led Moira out in a very gentleman way.

"I am fine," Moira told him. "I have to go. My boss is probably hungry."

"I'll escort you."

Moira frowned. He's so insistent. She doesn't want to argue anymore so she just let him escort her to the reception area. She thanked him and turned around, but he reached her elbow and put a card on the plastic bag then winked at her.

"I'll see you around, my fair maiden."

She only looked at him blankly and turn her heels around and left. When she went to the office and James is slouching on the sofa holding his stomach. He dramatically reached the food that she's holding but she pulled it away and settled it on the table for their food. She took plates and servings first while James rummaged on the food and lifted a calling card.

"What is this?" He asked and frowned of the black card. "Moira." He called. She turned to him and placed the plates on the table. "Did you just have contact with Alanis?"

"Yeah. I saw him talking to your sister and then—he stalked me to the café and I accidentally knocked out with your cousin and she was mad and then he paid her and followed me here."

"Oh," James said and sat down. Started eating with a sigh of relief. "So, Kathleen become an annoying spoiled brat?" He asked.

"Hmm. Did she call you?"

"I decline her call. My head is aching because there's no food! I don't want to deal with someone like her."

"Okay," Moira said. "I'll buy stocks for you later."

"Thank you. I don't know what to do without you." He muttered and then reach her head across the square table to pat it.

She continued eating and after washes the dishes. He went out of the office and walk around, which is his usual activity. She finished a few emails and at two in the afternoon, she went out with the card he gave her for the expenses that he told her to buy for him.

She drove her car down to the grocery store and buy him things that he loved to eat. She even bought his favorite Krispy Crème original donut and a real coffee granule. She had lots of bags on her hand as she stepped out from the mall toward her car that is parked outside.

She nearly lost her balance because of high heel shoes and heavy bags, but an arm wrapped around to avoid her from falling on the ground. She smelled the familiar perfume and she immediately jerked away but the man smiled at her charmingly. Behind him are few men in a black suit and black shades.

What is his true identity?

"Are you stalking me?" She asked straight forward. Alanis smiled at her warmly, not in a creepy way. But psychopaths can mimic anyone's emotions. She won't fall for anything like that.

"No. I bought some gifted inside and notice you coming out of the grocery store."

He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her sweat from her temple.

"I'll help you. It's hot here." He said and he told the man about the umbrella. One of his men hold an umbrella for her and Alanis helped her with her grocery taking almost everything. She doesn't know how to react at all.

"I—I can—"

"Yeah sure, you can. I have this thing with an independent woman. It's a secret." He winks. They reach her car and she opened the trunk as Allanis carefully put her grocery there.

He closed the trunk and he faced her.

"Let's have dinner." He proposed. She expected this so she cleared her throat and looked at him straight.

"Mr. Alanis. I'm sorry but I must reject you. I have no interest in dating or getting into a relationship. You, stalking me is not healthy—"

"I am not stalking you."

"I'm sorry…"

"Don't reject me yet."

"Moira." They turn to the man in crane. Moira looked at General Mondragon. He walks toward them and Moira looked down at her hand.
