Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

”Where’s Catriona?” Ethan asked as he put down the dish that he prepare.

”Well, she said that she’s busy.” Enzo said. ”But can I have few take outs?” He look at the famishing foods.

”Of course.” Ethan nodded. ”I’ll call my wife.”

Enzo slump on the chair and get annoyed. Both of his siblings are married and he was the only one left. Damn it. He texted Catriona and she said that she’s already home and can’t come. Soon, Ethan and Aria came.

Ethan immediately pull a chair for his wife and make sure that she’s sitting properly and even put a cushion for her to seat. Enzo wanted to stab the roasted chicken. So much PDA. Even Sabrina and Gabriel are showing it in front of the single man.

”So, what are we celebrating?” Enzo asked as Ethan pop out a champagne.

”We are celebrating, because Enzo you will be an uncle soon.”

Sabrina patted Enzo to comfort him.

”Woah! Seriously?” He was too surprised and got too much reaction than a father would. ”I will think of names!”

Aria giggles and Ethan was relieved that she is finally laughing. It’s been few weeks since he last hear her laugh.

”Will it be triplets?” Enzo asked excitedly. Ethan shook his head.

”We still don’t know if it will be tripled like us.” Ethan affectionately touch Aria’s hand. ”But one is okay… so it wouldn’t be hard for Aria.”

”That’s very thoughtful. I am now start thinking on how to impregnate Catriona.”

Sabrina’s face darkens and she reach the knife quickly and pointed it to Enzo. Sabrina’s card was Catriona. She’s one of the aces that she’s holding when it comes to EPUA’s mission. She shape Catriona to be their weapon and the best weapon for killing and gathering information.

”The time that you dated Catriona messes the plan.” Ethan said. Gabriel was just listening and then calmed his wife. He didn’t ask anything on what they are talking about and it was like he was already part of it though they never directly said that they are in a secret organization.

”I’ve never fallen in love but Catriona already stole my heart. Can you do something about that?” Enzo said as he ate his salad and just glance at the knife Sabrina is holding. When it comes to Catriona, he wouldn’t get scared of Sabrina’s threat.

”Enzo, seriously, did you asked Catriona about those things? Is she ready to love you?”

”I told her and I am willing to wait. Did she sign a contract regarding marriage?” He asked Enzo. ”As far as I know, she didn’t sign any.”

”It’s classified.” Ethan stand his point for his sister who don’t want to talk and seemed like trying to calm herself. Enzo was taken aback so there is a contract about that.

”Did—Did she—” He look at Sabrina still baffled. ”Sabrina, did she sign a contract.”

”You are so f-cking noisy!” Sabrina shouts at him. Aria was surprised and even Gabriel. Ethan smack his forehead. Damn it.

”Brina your vocals.” He warns. She exhales and Enzo was taken aback from her sudden shout and from the revelation of the contract that Catriona signed. Aria didn’t say anything, she just kept quiet. ”Damn you guys, this was supposed to be a celebration. Don’t stress out my wife here.”

”Sorry.” Enzo sit properly. How did their conversation get to the point that Sabrina have to shout? For Enzo’s stupidity and on how the two manage to reveal it over dinner and leak a classified information of EPUA. But Ethan’s maids’ mouth are zip about it and they are already in their quarters waiting for them to finish the dinner.

The dinner went well when Enzo lighten the mood and all of them went to the living room as Gabriel gave the early gift for the baby. It was an adorable rattle and a complete set of baby socks. Sabrina saw how Gabriel’s eyes lightens seeing those things that he bought.

”This is beautiful.” Aria almost tear up seeing the adorable baby products.

”You are welcome.” He said sincerely as his fingers twirls on Sabrina’s hair.

While Sabrina observe her husband, she had thought about it. She want to give him babies. They reach home at eleven o’clock in the evening and she strip her clothes in front of him. He smile and kiss her passionately until they end up on the bed.

Enzo arrived in her penthouse, forty minutes from his brother’s villa. He press her password and enter the house. It was quiet and a low sound of television could only be heard. He remove his shoes and immediately duck down when the attacker almost hit him.

”B-Boss?” Tequila was surprised. Enzo hands up.

”Woah! Hold your fire.”

”Why are you here?” Tequila was still surprised that Enzo would be in the penthouse.

”I should ask you the same thing.” Tequila was quiet for a while then he smack his head.

”So it’s true?” Tequila asked using his interrogative sound.

”What do you mean? Why are you here?” he walk passed him and put the foods that he brought on the coffee table where.

Catriona was sitting on the sofa and had already fallen asleep. She’s wearing an oversize shirt and panties. He frown and use a blanket to cover her. She’s been drinking champagne.

”Why didn’t you cover her up?”

”I just arrived.” Tequila said and sat down.

”So—you aren’t dating her while we are dating and making love?” Enzo asked directly.

”Hell no! Catriona is like my sister. And hey, don’t you dare hurt her.”

”Why would I hurt here?” Enzo kisses her forehead as it’s his first time in her penthouse. ”You can leave now.”

Tequila gave up and left the penthouse quietly. Enzo picks her up and take her to her room. Why has she been drinking alone? She woke up and frown at him.

”What are you doing here?”

”Why wouldn’t I be here? I miss my girlfriend.” He bent down and kisses her nose. ”Next time, drink with me, okay?” She didn’t say anything at all as she just look up at him. Maybe she’s just drunk and feel lightweight that he’s saying sweet things. ”You hungry?”

”I feel hungry.”

”I brought foods. Do you want to eat first or make love first?”

”Do you have condom?” She sat up and reach the hem of his shirt.

”I always have that.” He pull out his wallet and took a foil of condom.

He put it on the side table and help her remove his shirt. He pressed her down first on the mattress and admire her beautiful attractive face. Her face wasn’t that pretty at first glance. But has always have a seductive effect. He would never get tired of staring at her face for hours.

”When will your contract end?” She frown from his question.

”What contract?”

”You can’t get married until the contract is void? Cat, I want to marry you. Even though it will take decades for you to love me. I don’t care on how long it will take for you to love me.” He said those words from the bottom of his hypothalamus. He was that desperate.

”Why are you so desperate, Enzo? Lots of woman would willingly give their hearts to you.”

”Those women only want my money and my body. At least when it comes to you, I know what you want and you aren’t like most girls.” She bit her lower lip and he observe everything so he could learn more about her.

”Can we go straight now?”

”Your wish is my command.” He kisses her passionately and their clothes started flying down the floor.

He woke up at three in the morning. Their legs are tangled at each other and she’s lying down on her stomach. He sat up and look down at her face that looks serene at that moment. Only her sister has a copy of that contract and if he goes that far—Sabrina will really get angry at him. But he’s willing to wait until Sabrina grants him the wish of letting her off from the contract.

He reach his phone and hack the security cameras around. She installed hidden cameras and he already noticed it as soon as he stepped into her penthouse. While he’s scanning, he frown when he saw a shadow at the balcony. He immediately wake her up and cover himself

She automatically reach his shirt and put it on and carefully reach a gun from her pillow.
