Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

 Kelsie is worried. It\'s been two days since she last visited. So, she went to the neighbor with food. Tina might be very busy. Her step-mother opened it and smiled at her.

"Hi! Where\'s Tina?" She gave the food that she prepared and Margarita thanked her and gave it to the maid.

​​

"She\'s upstairs." She said. "I just got from a visit. She\'s not coming out from her room."

"What?" Kelsie creased her brows. "Can I see her?"

"Yeah," Margarita escorted her to Tina\'s room and she knocked softly. "Darling, Kelsie is here." She squeezed it open and everything in the room was dark. Kelsie peeked. She stopped when there are the cupcake and cookies that she gave two days ago.

 Christina slipped off from the bed and approached them.

"I\'m sorry. I\'m not feeling good." She smiled but her lips cracked. It\'s dry. She took off her necklace and approached Kelsie. She reached Kelsie\'s hand. "Can you give it to Nate? Please tell him to give it to Kale." She asked softly, her voice is dry. Kelsie knew that something was wrong.

"You don\'t look good. I\'m going to get some warm water for you."

"I\'m fine," Tina said. Kelsie looked down at the necklace that Kale gave and she gently closed the door and locked it.

"She\'s not well," Kelsie said and looked at Margarita.

"Yes, I know. I will talk to her."

"Make her eat the food that I made. I will just talk to my husband."

"Okay," Margarita nodded and they went downstairs. "I think it\'s about Kale. But she\'s not speaking to me."

"How about her dad?"

"I have been away for a day and night. When I came back, the maid said that she didn\'t go out of her room and she checked on her once but Tina pushed her away. I\'m getting worried when I see her today." Margarita asked.

 Kelsie held her hand.

"Don\'t worry. We\'ll just have to watch over her. Keep a spare key close to you."

 Margarita nodded.

 Kelsie went back to the house and checked the time. Six-twenty. Nate will be home in an hour. She needed to check on Kale. She needed to know what happened.

 Rhys watched as Camila finished the burger and the bottle of soda. She didn\'t even share it. He is so hungry and after he got scolded from home, he went directly to her penthouse. She ignored him as she went to the kitchen and cleaned up the utensils. He followed her.

"Mila." He called.

"What?" She roared at him.

"I\'m here." Rhys spread his arms. "And I\'m hungry."

"I don\'t care if you are hungry. What are you doing here?"

"I miss you." He said. She stopped and finished cleaning the kitchen. She ignored him and walked toward her room. But Rhys hugged her from behind and kissed her neck. He also reached her breasts under the loose shirt that she\'s wearing.

"Rhys, stop!" She pushed him away. Rhys exhaled and crossed his arms.

"Why are you grumpy?"

"I—I don\'t want to see you." She mumbled which is a lie.

"Liar." Rhys stepped forward and reached her chin. "Then, why are you wearing my shirt?"

"It\'s comfortable."

 Rhys put down his hand and stepped back from her.

"I\'m breaking the contract," Rhys said. Her eyes widened and she looked straight at him. This is what she doesn\'t want to happen. Then, it\'s true that he\'s married and yet, here he is hugging her, kissing her, touching her. Her heart clenched when he said that. Like he said that he\'s breaking up with her.

"Y-you are in love with someone else?" She asked.

"Yes," Rhys nodded.

"Okay." She smiled at him. "At least you won\'t bother me with sex during nights. So, who is she?"

He stepped forward and scooped her cheeks.

"She\'s here and I will still bother you all day and night." He kissed her passionately. Camila froze from what he said and she couldn\'t digest it until Rhys\'s kiss went deeper. "Hmm, taste like beef." He grinned and lifted her from the floor and carried her to bed. "Let\'s have a bath together. I need a warm one."

"Rhys," She looked at him. "What did you say?"

"I said, I need a bath."

"No."

"I love you." Rhys grinned at her and kissed her forehead.

"But we were married?

"Pfft! I wasn\'t married at all." He gently put her to bed as he started removing his shorts and his pants. "That\'s just some girl and she was dared by her husband." He mumbled.

 She woke up again dreaming about Kale, telling her that it was all a lie. She\'s been dreaming about him. Bad things. It was all a nightmare. Then, she dreamed of him. It was after they made love and he told her that he\'s good in bed. She\'s a slut too. She didn\'t have tears to let go anymore. She reached the water that her step-mother put and sipped on it.

 She also left the food that Kelsie made. She didn\'t touch it. She kicked her step-mom out. She just wanted to sleep and hope that she\'ll never dream again. She hopes to never wake up again. She looked at the mirror again. She kept seeing her disgusting self. She became a slut because her family is one.

 Her father has multiple mistresses. Her mother also has lovers. Her brother fuck girls, rape them, and threaten them. He also flogged them for his pleasure. He was a slut too. He slept with multiple girls and also participated in orgies. Her uncle raped the maid and killed her. She didn\'t know who else he touched but she even saw him looking at her. She shuddered thinking that Kale saw her as the same. It\'s her fault to be with the family like that.

 Her heart aches thinking that Kale is bluffing all this time. She thought that she could live in a prison where she is. But Kale just hurt her. All of the promises he made are what keep her to live. She just wished that she had said it in front of her. She just wished that she never gave her virginity when he\'s going to talk behind her back and tell Cathy as revenge for what her brother did to her.

 She reached for her phone and turned it on. The first thing she did is checked the notification that Cathy sent. It\'s her and Kale in bed. He\'s sleeping peacefully beside her and she captioned it.

There\'s just you and me, my man.

#relationshipgoals!

 She tried to swallow the lump hard as tears started rolling down her cheek. She sniffled and saw a few photos of them together. She exhaled and cleared her throat. She needed to hear his voice one last time. She wanted to hear it.

 She called his number. It\'s ringing and ringing. He isn\'t answering. So, she called it again. He didn\'t answer it. In this third call, she decided, if Kale didn\'t answer, then maybe it\'s over between them and he chose to ignore her. She listened to the dialing tone.

"Tina?"

"Kale," her voice breaks by just hearing him. She covered her mouth to avoid sobbing. She gathered herself.

"Are you alright?"

"I~~I just want to say, I love you and I\'ll never love any man in my entire life. You are my first love and my last. Please be happy for me."

"Tina!"

"Kale, I really love you. Those days with you, I will forever treasure. I just hope that you\'ll stop hating me and my family. I understand what they did to Cathy and you." She broke into tears. "I\'m sorry, Kale. I know that sorry won\'t make every pain that we cost you disappear. I hope that I already pay it with my body. I enjoy it. Every moment that we have is priceless to me." She paused for a moment to breathe. "I love you, with all of my heart and soul. Please be happy for me Kale. I know that someone deserves you more than I do. Goodbye~~" She hung up and put her phone away.

 She stood, feeling a little dizzy. However, there\'s one thing that she should do. To break it all. She didn\'t want to see herself anymore. She just wanted every pain in her chest to go away. There\'s also one way to have it go away and to feel nothing.

 She went to get the wooden stool and she dragged it in front of her mirror sliding door and she lifted it and bang it there until the mirror shattered down. She dropped the chair and wiped her tears. She bent down and reached one broken glass and held it to her hand.

"It\'s my family\'s fault and I need to pay for it." She mumbled. Her phone kept ringing and ringing but it seemed like she didn\'t hear anything at that moment. She clenched the glass in her hand. She suddenly felt dizzy. She reached another gathering.
