Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Marga kept staring at the peasant girl that Ethan clung into. She crossed her arms and had the urge to kick the woman out of the house. Her brother even let her on one of his luxury cars to personally drive to the Old Mansion of Lawson.

”Daddy,” she clung to her father.

”What is it, Marga?”

”Daddy, don’t you think that the girl Bro Ethan brought is suspicious?”

”She’s a good girl. What do you mean?”

”She looks like a gold digger.”

Sabrina has been peeking to Marga and reading her lips while Gabriel is preparing the car.

”Let your brother find it out to himself.”

”But, what if Bro Ethan was blinded by that woman?”

”Marga, it’s not your concern anymore. Your brother is an intelligent man.”

”But, dear don’t you think that Ethan should marry a high-class socialite?” Janine interrupted. Ferdinand had thought about it. ”I have a referral for Ethan’s fiancée. After Sabrina get married, we will settle someone perfect for Ethan.” Ferdinand was hesitant.

Back then, he promised his wife that they won’t force their triplets on marriage. And he still loves his wife though he was a jerk. He will forever regret being unfaithful to his wife in this life even though it only happened once.

He watched as his son dotingly cared about the woman. Once upon a time, he was a man like that to his woman. But because of his urges and peer pressure from his tycoon friends—he met Janine who seduced him and does great in bed though he unclearly remembered it. But he loved his wife and he never thought that men’s usual fantasies would eat him up.

His wife was pure and innocent and he loves it like that but a man has wild fantasies and Janine fulfills it to him. But now, he regrets it despite his love for his deceased wife.

They use a van on their way to the old mansion. Sabrina and Gabriel rode with them and she’s sleeping on his arms. Marga glowered at them from the back. She hated it more. Gabriel showed a lot of affection towards her mute sister. She clenched her fist. Well, she had to think of something to ruin her sister’s wedding or engagement.

Then an idea popped up from her mind. She just knew someone whom she could use. She pulled out her phone and texted the person. It takes a few hours until they reach the mansion. She hated seeing her supposed to be fiancée and her mute sister display a lot of affection.

She made a puppy face to him. He carried her on his back and she looked like a cute koala. She took a picture of it and send it to the man with a smirk.

The event managers and staffs are busy with the reunion party of Lawson and tomorrow will be the engagement party. She then looked at the Lamborghini of Ethan as he opened the door for his girlfriend.

He picked their bags and he threw his arms around her kissing his cheek. She was so envious of the affection that she can’t have a man like Ethan or Gabriel who would pamper her. She then glanced at Enzo who is busy on his phone and laughing then he walked toward her and threw his arms around her. She pushed him.

”Don’t touch me.” Marga scowls.

”Oh, sorry!” he laughed as he heads inside.

She went to the room that is assigned to her and check if she had the pills. Check. All she had to do and screw the gold digger at the party. She just threw her bag somewhere and went outside. Then her phone rings. She smirked on the caller ID.

”Are you provoking me?”

”What if I am? We both know what we wanted.”

”If you didn’t do something bad back then, you’ll still have Gabriel. How do you expect that your sister would get back with me?”

”I know how it will work. Just appear on the engagement tomorrow night.” She hung up. ”Bastard, you are so stupid!” she exhales and put a fake smile.

It wasn’t that long when the reunion party started. Cars are aligned on the long driveway of the old Mansion in Spanish style that Lawson owns. Lawson’s relatives had arrived and each of them had their professions and doings.

Gabriel noticed Sabrina’s restlessness. Though she got strong stamina, she’s still a human. From the triplets, she’s the most who always got sick. Ethan was strongest since he absorbed almost all of the nutrients and that left her. But as she grows up, her mother focused on her health and never get biased toward her triplets. If he could only meet his mother in law. Alive and well.

He reached her forehead and she’s in normal condition. Maybe she’s just catching up some sleep. But she’s almost sleeping the whole day. Her phone keeps on blinking and he reached it. It was a message from a man according to the notification.

”Sabrina,” he shook her lightly and caress her hair. She stretches her body. Her eyes flutter like a fan and damn, she just looked so adorable that he couldn’t help but fall on that trap again.

”Hmm?”

”Uhm, everyone is almost downstairs to meet you.” She bit her lower lip and show pitiful eyes. ”Sabrina, that won’t work.” He looked away. She’s introverted and doesn’t like to be surrounded by people for chit-chat.

He glanced at her again and she made teary eyes. He smacked his face. He was supposed to force himself not to look at her and watch her make a drama and do pitiful and adorable expression even she wasn’t talking at all. He exhales to hold herself not to look at her anymore.

”Get up now. Take a shower or something.” She tugged his shirt. He groaned and picked her up. Good thing that he already settled the bathtub. She’s so lazy.

She didn’t even put any makeup. Just a little of lipstick and powder and she just let her hair down, waves, and curls on the tips. She’s wearing a very simple dress but it shows decency and power because of her confidence. She didn’t need to put up expensive clothes, jewels, or shoes just to show power. She was enough.

The whole family is aware that she doesn’t like talking so they just greet her and she nodded. She yawned constantly and her eyes watered a little. She then gets inside to find an old grand piano sitting on the corner. Enzo was leaning on it like emphasizing something to her. She was bored and everything bores her.

So, she walked up to the piano and Enzo sat down beside her and she started playing for a little exercise of her fingers until she started playing the piano along with Enzo in dual. Ethan came up a little annoyed.

”Why didn’t you guys call me up?” Ethan asked a little troubled and acting hurt. They both stop playing. ”Didn’t you want your elder triplet?”

Gabriel watched the triplet interact intimately at each other. The three have their childish attitude and mostly show it around when the three of them or two are there. He wanted triplets or a twin or just a baby with siblings. But he knew how it will make her suffer for a year or so and he’s afraid of it.

Aria watched the trio play the piano and it sounds very genius in the music that they are making. It looks like they shared the same brain but different movements while making the music. Never had she seen adorable triplets on her life.

”Enjoy watching?” Marga asked her. She suddenly felt goosebumps from the girl. The girl smiled and offer her a glass of champagne. She smiled back and took it. ”It seemed my siblings enjoy each other’s company since Bro Ethan has been away for long.” Marga sipped on her champagne.

She didn’t say a thing and sipped on the cold Champagne. But she never knew what Ethan’s sister had put on the champagne. And Sabrina’s eyes are on them the whole time though her fingers are playing on the keys of the piano.
