Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Janine was shuddering as they were surrounded by the police. She’s panicking. She was one step away from freedom and how did this happen?

”Do something!” She screamed at the driver.

”We are surrounded.” The driver said. ”There’s nothing we can do. Duck down and we will deal with the police.”

They didn’t know that around them were snipers. So before they even fired their guns. Their pulses have been shot as blood exploded. They started screaming in pain. Lastly,, Catriona pointed her sniper to the hiding Janine and shoot her close to her ear. Janine screamed and that’s when Catriona laughed deviously.

”Fuck!”

”They have snipers! How could these assholes have snipers?!” One of them asked.

”It’s the fucking EPUA! We can’t escape now.”

”But—but the boss is scarier than EPUA.” Someone smack the panicking guy.

”This is scarier than the boss. The Dark Lord.”

”I don’t f@cking care about that Dark Lord!” Janine scowled at them and hide more. ”Do something!”

Catriona was reading their lips enjoying the panic in Janine’s mouth. She sent it to her boss, the boss enjoys the panic from Janine. She removed a few parts of the sniper and put it back into the briefcase which only took her twenty seconds to fix.

Her eyes were dark as her hatred toward Janine and the man behind her increased.

Neither of them knew what was behind her past. None of them, except Sabrina who knew it all along. Not even Tequila who has been acting as her brother—he only knew part of her story but not as what Sabrina knows.

The vengeance inside her grew more like Sabrina. Both of them deserve to have the head of the man’s head.

In the end, Janine has been put into a cell but in the custody of EPUA, which is disguised as NBI. She was blindfolded as they took her down to the cold cell. They throw her inside and it was more luxurious than the dirty cell from where she stayed for weeks.

Marga was waiting at the VIP restaurant for the man that her mother told her to contact. She’s waiting there patiently as the man in a suit came and sat down in front of her. She looked around the bodyguards behind the man. The man was handsome despite his age but a hint of familiarity. He looked like someone she knew or just a few resemblances.

”Hi, dear.”

”Who are you?”

”Your real dad.” Marga’s face darkens.

”My father is Ferdinand Alvarez.” The man scoff and sipped on the wine that was served.

”No, it’s time you know since your mother is being useless and captured by the police.” Francisco’s bluntness makes her shudder.

”What?”

”You are as evil as your mother. But not too ruthless. Leave the Alvarez mansion so I can shape you up more.”

”No!” She stands. ”Who are you to say that? I came here to ask you how you could save my mom from getting imprisoned.” She clenches her fist.

”But isn’t your mother in prison?” He asked cockily. ”Sweetheart, sit down and enjoy the meal. And let’s talk over our meal on how to deal with our enemies.”

”Enemies?” Marga frowns as she tries to control her emotions. But she just burst out.

”Sabrina.” Just that name makes her sit down and want to make a deal with a devil. ”Sabrina and her siblings. You are supposed to marry one of the richest men in the world but Sabrina took him away from you. You don’t like something to be taken away from you, right sweetheart?”

”Of course.”

”Just like your mother. So, how about the menu?” She did order a little and a wine. Soon their order came and was served on their table.

Francisco admired his daughter. She looks very much like Janine. But he just hopes that she wasn’t entirely like Janine or else, he will surely get suffocated. Janine was too much but he already made her submissive towards him. But Marga is still naïve so he has to shape her up to be ruthless. But she needed her.

”I need your help so we could free your mother.”

Marga’s eyes widen with hope. She looked at him with her vulnerable eyes.

”What should I do then?”

”Spy on Sabrina. Spy on the whole Alvarez and find out if they are working with EPUA.” Francisco said in a very serious and domineering voice.

”EPUA?”

”Empire of Professional Undercover Agents. Sabrina can’t be the EPUA’s boss… but some things are always unexpected. Lawson could be part of EPUA. If you heard about EPUA, they are the Government’s alas. Government seeks help for them. They are more capable than the Philippine Army. Once, they killed the boss of one of the powerful gang here. So, I want you to monitor if they are part of EPUA.”

”How can Sabrina be the boss of EPUA? If EPUA is that powerful—there’s no way that she could be… she didn’t even graduate in a great university.”

”She doesn’t need to graduate from one.” He said. ”Sabrina is the granddaughter of one of the former and great General in the country. She could be anyone…”

”I will dig into it.”

”Good. that way, we could proceed on our next step. To find where they took your mother.”

Marga’s head was spinning from the information that she just received. He is her father and then, her mother scammed Ferdinand. She came back home late that night and saw Catriona getting off from Enzo’s motorbike, wearing a black outfit, and carrying a backpack.

She never saw Catriona getting out of the house during weekdays. Doesn’t she have a job? Both Enzo and Catriona are jobless. Enzo stayed more in his room with his gadgets. Catriona is greeted by Enzo’s dog wiggling his tail and howling like a wolf. It was weird that he’s howling because he doesn’t look like a wolf but a big bully.

”How’s my comrade?” Catriona patted the dog as the dog’s tail wiggles together with his big fat body.

”How was your ride?” Enzo came up and kisses Catriona passionately like they are making love with their mouths. ”Hmm. You are so sweet, baby.” He utter.

”Shut up.” She punched him on his abdominal.

”Dinner’s ready with dad.” She nodded. ”Go take a shower.” She turned back to go upstairs, but he smacked her beautiful butt cheek and whistle. She frowned at him. Versace was about to follow her but Enzo told him to stay, and Versace then stayed with whimpers looking up at him with puppy eyes. ”Don’t give me those eyes, Versace!” Versace continued being cute and whine in front of him.

Marga frowns and just flipped her hair and went upstairs. She takes a shower and started contemplating how to start investigating. But she never knew that Enzo installed bugs in her room. So her every move will be detected by Enzo.
