Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Enzo crawled on the floor while holding his phone. While Catriona already settled and hide in the corner ready to shoot anytime. The shadow from the intruder look like one who knows Kung Fu. He was covered up in black suit—like a ninja. Then something hit him. Is this Alanis’s assassins?

”It’s an assassin from Alanis’s.” He mouthed and she sign. Bullet is faster than the sword.

He send a quick message to Tequila and EPUA about an intruder and send the location. Catriona, ready her gun and pointed it at the direction of the assassin. She shoot him on his thigh but he dodge it. Without any sound from the assassin, he hid quickly.

Enzo sign on the man’s location as Catriona nodded and roll on the floor to change direction. She glance at the mirror to locate where the assassin is hidden. It didn’t take long for her to see him reaching a gun where she hid it.

The assassin was knowledgeable and had predicted her things. He must be watching her from afar. Butterflies suddenly started flapping inside Enzo’s stomach. This is an actual mission with guns and he was useless around Catriona. He wanted to protect her and fight for her instead. And whoever the person was that want to kill Catriona was going to pay big price.

The sword from the assassin shines and she didn’t think twice of shooting him again but it was blocked by his sword. She grin to herself. This is getting better and better so she show herself and Enzo cursed at her. He then found something—a button and press it. A hidden drawer clicks and his eyes widens at the samurai that is almost identical to the assassin’s samurai. He reach it and toss it to her.

She caught it with her good reflexes and pull the sword from the case. She waited for the assassin to attack but it seemed he’s not in rush. So she stepped out from the partition of the room. As she expected he attacked as soon as she stepped out. Chest level would be the assassin’s attack. Her calculations are correct so she duck down and slice his legs. The man lose both of his legs in a snap.

Her samurai was sharper and she was faster and flexible. She pointed the samurai into his mask and slice it swiftly. She memorize the man’s scarred face.

”Who’s your customer?” The man didn’t say anything at all. Enzo notice that his hands was holding something so he didn’t think twice before pointing the gun swiftly and blowing the man’s hand before he even touches her legs. He run to her and reach the thing that he’s trying to kill her with.

”Poison.” He announced. ”This man—is Chinese—they are good at making poisons. Mostly.”

To their surprise the man wasn’t alone. The window bursts out and he pushes Catriona. He reach the gun and started shooting at those shadows that are swiftly moving around like they are wasps. They roll to her bedroom and he closes the door and locked it. He immediately help her block it with the table.

She run to her closet and started searching something. Clothes.

”It isn’t time to put something on.” He told her and check the magazine of the gun that he’s holding.

”I am not wearing anything under!” She hissed at him and found panties and swiftly put it on. She then put some shorts on and she reach a ribbon to tie her hair.

”Cat, what kind of trouble did you invite?” he asked. A loud bang was on the door. Catriona pull him and pushes him aside.

”I never really invite trouble.” He pull her waist closer to him and he kisses her forehead.

”Fucking slow backups.” He utter. While he’s wrapping her with his one arm. Her hand is reaching something inside the dresser and put her special gun and A-Special Hand phone.

The door burst open and four assassins came in with their samurai. It is the same type of assassins that attacked Sabrina in Beijing. And someone must have find out about Catriona and want to kill her badly. If this is Alanis’s doing—Sabrina will play along. And if not, it must be a big mess that someone want to measure Sabrina’s power.

Catriona press few keys on the hand phone and the lights inside the room dies and inside the room, she trap the assassins with a heavy metallic net from the ceiling. Enzo immediately drag her to the other secret room until they heard heavy footsteps. His phone beeps and exhales when the EPUA’s agents arrived.

”Are we safe now?” He asked and scoop her cheek.

”For now.” He bent down and kiss her passionately, he put away the gun and inserted his other hand inside her shirt and caress the soft spots that he like. ”What are you doing?”

”Trying to calm both of us.” He sneer. She scoff and smack his naked chest.

”Calm? You don’t have a condom with you.”

He suddenly laugh and pull her closer until their bodies are attached to each other. He kiss her top head and inhale her scent. Good that both of them are safe and she doesn’t have any scratch. His phone beeps that only means that the place is safe so they can come out. Tequila toss blankets on them while some are already cleaning up after capturing everything for evidences.

”Did you report this to my sister?”

”We send her a report regarding this. Since both of you are safe—all is well.”

”Oh-kay.” Instead of covering himself with the blanket he covered her and went to her dresser and started dragging a Loui Vuitton bags.

”What are you doing?” She suddenly asked.

”You are going to live with me in the mansion. Step-mom is already in the prison and only Marga would annoy you. Besides, I cook delicious foods and we have great butlers.”

He took few clothes and put it inside. Tequila was frowning and he even gave Catriona a questioning look. She just shrugged and pull out a brief case that contains her weapons. Then few important things while EPUA is cleaning up her penthouse that is under the agency.

Enzo put his clothes on and took her luggage to the parking lot. He put it all in his jeep and let her take the backseat for her to sleep. He drives in high speed since the road was free and there’s not much vehicles around. It only took him twenty minutes to reach the mansion.

Since it’s five in the morning, the butler met them and he ask him to help him put it in his room. He left her possession in the car and took the sleeping girlfriend in his arms all the way to his room. She lazily roll on the bed and pull the pillows with a sigh.

”Don’t you want to shower?” He asked. She didn’t answer. He jog downstairs to pick up her possession and found Marga eyed the briefcase he’s holding as she walk downstairs

”Is someone moving?” She asked.

”Yeah, your future sister in law.”

Marga was horrified and Enzo turn back with grins. As soon as he came back to his room, the bags are already in the corner, he strode and went to the bedroom. He crawl on his King bed and caress her hair.

”Cat.” He whispers in her ear.

”Hmm?”

”Let’s make babies? I feel really envious toward Ethan. He’s going to be a father.” As he said those, he pillow her back since she’s sleeping on her stomach. He look up the ceiling and reminisce Ethan’s happiness last night.

”Go fuck yourself.” She utters and goes back sleeping.

”Yeah, masturbating is good. But I like it when I am pleasuring you. You know. Hearing you moan loudly and scream my name wanting more.” He breathed. ”Cat,” He shook her. ”I need CPR. My heart is in pain and it can’t release correct counts of oxygen.” He shook her. She groan and kick him. ”Ow!”

He snuggle on her again like a kitten.

”Cat, let’s shake this.” He didn’t stop from disturbing her.

”F@ck you, Enzo!” She groan and pushes him away. But he’s too clingy and stick like a mighty glue ”Gaddamnit!”

”Cat, come on, let’s make babies then I won’t disturb you anymore. At least give me twelve.”

She feel a little lightweight but now—she feel her head so heavy. She groan and pushes him away.

”I want babies right now.”

”There’s no f@cking instant babies! If you want babies, why don’t you go and adopt one. And have you been taking good care of Versace?”

Enzo sat up and almost forgot the little fellow. Outside the door, there’s a sound of scratching and whimpering of a dog. Enzo immediately run to the door and open it. He spread his arms to welcome Versace but instead of the dog to jump on him, he run to the bed and barks and snuggle on Catriona.

Enzo fall on his butt and hold his chest. Damn it. His own dog, disown him. Versace just—betray him to his lover.

Catriona moan and hug the dog like a pillow and both of them fall asleep.

”I raise him—but it seems he likes his mother more.” He closes the door and look broken hearted watching the American Pitbull terrier and his woman cuddling.
