Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Brandy was outside the Alvarez mansion to monitor Janine’s move. In few days or so when her situation get tight, she will eventually meet someone. And that person might be their target or not. He was holding the files of ten years ago when their boss was kidnapped together with her mother. He never thought that someone would experience that much. Yet he knew there were other girls who experienced bad things than his boss. The good thing, was that his boss was a strong woman and she was his idol.

He drove his car away as someone replaced him to tail Janine’s move. He went to Whiskey’s room on the headquarters and found him eating lot of vegetables and protein. Tequila was feeding him like he a baby. He sigh and lean on the way enjoying the bromance between the two.

”You guys didn’t invite me. Are you sure you don’t want me to join you?”

”Come here!” Tequila waved his hands and took out his chopstick to pick some sushi. ”Ahh.” Tequila feed Brandy as well and Brandy settled on the King bed where Whiskey stays.

”Hmm.” Brandy thumbs up. ”Mas-issneun.” He said which means delicious in Korean.

The door opens and they stopped eating as their boss stepped in, in good mood though she’s always emotionless.

”Boss!” They immediately offered her a seat and gave whatever food it is. She took another chopstick, pick the sushi. wave them off and eat with them.

”Boss, I am fine. No need to worry at all.” Whiskey said.

She didn’t say a thing as usual and just ate with them. This part of her was to show that she cared about them like her little brother. After eating with them, she went to the VIP room and found Enzo lying on the bed watching Catastrophe from the sofa who is sleeping. She settled on the side of the bed and smack his leg. He hissed and glower at her. She cock her head on the sleeping woman.

”I am admiring her, okay?” He rolled his eyes. ”Leave.” He said coldly. She scoff and left the room.

She better be with her fiancé than to be with her stupid brother. She went to the studio to admire the pair of gowns and tuxedo. He will look like a king in the outfit. She sign the designer to visit her villa tomorrow with the tuxedo for her future husband.

♡♡♡

She was calmer now that Ethan was around. She work efficiently and pass all the documents on time. She checks her calendar and settle an outing date with him. Just a simple normal date is all she asked, and that should be him.

She got a call from the reception and went downstairs to receive something. It was a bouquet of flowers that she love. He still remember and her favorite latte. She blushes and call him.

”I love it.”

”Good that you love it.”

”What do you want for dinner?” she asked as she walk back to her office.

”I am good at anything you cook.”

”Okay, I’ll buy ingredients later.”

”Uhuh. I have something to talk to you about.” She was stunned for a while. Is he breaking up with her? Or what else would it be?

”Okay.” She smiled.

”I miss you already.” He wasn’t going to break up with her. ”Love you. Make sure that you aren’t stressed.”

”Okay, I will.” She hang up and smile beautifully.

When lunch ticks, she reached her purse and phone. Suddenly her phone rings, she went to the reception area and found him. He looks so mighty in his black suit. He also looks too dominant and there was no smile on his face while waiting for her, he was expressionless and when he noticed her walking to his direction.

”Baby,” He calls, an employee who recognize him jaws drops. He’s personally picking up his girlfriend.

”Did you wait that long?” she asked. He reach her hand.

”Nope. I just got here.” He bent down and kisses her forehead.

He intertwines his fingers with her small hand as they leave the building. They both stopped, seeing Sabrina getting off from her motorbike like an action star. She was gracefully cool and Ethan have to roll his eyes. She always got that effect. She beeps her motorbike at them.

”Sabrina!” Aria wave at her. She nodded with a smile. A body guard came up, took the keys from her and parked it.

”Are you here to mess up with him?” Sabrina wink at him and patted Aria as she enter inside. ”What’s the status?” He asked and Sabrina stopped. She look at him sideways and smirked. He smirked back. ”Okay.

”

Sabrina’s expression immediately changes into something dangerous. She entered the building and was given a VIP pass since it was an order from the CEO. She walk on the corridor like they are nothing and directly went to her office where she was escorted by the assistant.

She settled down and sigh as she scrolls her phone watching her step-mother’s expression in the interrogation room. She wanted to laugh out loud while drinking wine to celebrate her first step on threatening her.

In fact, she can put her in jail for a lifetime. But she’s too kind to put her in jail that easily. She still gathered a lot of evidences and let her enjoy the luxury of their family wealth. Her revenge wasn’t that easy.

If she put her in jail, she can’t torture her mentally and emotionally. She wanted to play along. She wants her to feel ten folds what she felt back then. She’s not just revenging for herself and her mother. She’s also avenging those people whom she hurt.

Remembering Aria from downstairs, looking all happy with Ethan. The girl was sweet and she knew that she doesn’t have a bad intention. She exhales and stare outside the full view glass wall. Her coldness suddenly melt when she felt his arms wrapped her up from behind the sofa.

”You hungry?”

”Hmm.”

”Then, I don’t want you to be hungry.” He kisses her top head. ”Where do you want to eat?” She shrugged.

Then a thought came to her. She stepped on the sofa and clung to him like a koala. Legs wrapped around his hips and her arms clung around his nape. He hold her butt cheek. Damn, he just admire her like this.

”Make out first or lunch?” she glanced on her wrist watch. ”Lunch then.” He read her. ”Lead the place where you want to eat.”

So, she drove the car all the way to the expensive restaurant where Janine always have her lunch with her friends. She clung to her fiancé like a koala even when they enter the restaurant that she reserved earlier.

She sneer and show her gold digger friends that she’s a big time with a big time future husband. He dotingly led her to their seat and agreed on every order that she wanted. He even ordered her favorite wine.

Janine’s hand was shaking in anger. She clenches it into a ball and her finger nails dug on her palm. It almost bleeds and her friends were saying how disappointing that Marga wasn’t the one to marry the big shot.

She’s getting furious each time they discuss it in front of her. She stood and excuse herself to the powder room. She screamed inside the bathroom, her chest pumping up and down in anger. Her blood boils through her head. The mocking look from her step-daughter was enough to boil her up.

”I’m going to kill you soon, Sabrina. Not killing you with your mother is my mistake.” She utter to herself and she calm herself. She re-touched her makeup amd returned to face her friends like nothing happened.

Sabrina left Gabriel’s office and directly went to her villa. She locks herself in her studio. She started operating the whole studio to make sure that the recorder is on. She cleared her throat and after vocalizing for ten minutes, she sighs, pick up her guitar as she started strumming her guitar after a long intro she opened her mouth and sang so softly and gently, like she’s confessing her love.

”Wise men say…only fools rush in…

But I can’t help, falling in love with you…

Shall, I stay?

Would it be a sin?

Oh, if I can’t help, falling in love with you….”

This is the first time that she sang and recorded a love song. Was it her confession toward him? But she don’t talk and everyone knows that she’s mute. Scribbling was good, but she wanted to sing this in front of him.
