Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Sabrina analyze the situation. Then she wrote down on her tablet.

”I’ll think about it. Next time, don’t come here stripping off your clothes like that. It’s not a good sight to see.” She said viciously. The woman turn back very much embarrassed and left quietly.

Gabriel patted her head and then pinch her cheeks. She’s frowning with adorable creased brows. He giggle and kisses her forehead.

”You are my one and only, how could I get seduce by that body?” He reach her breast and squeeze it gently. ”I love these and when I said that word, it only means that I am faithful.”

”Faithful to my boobs?” she said bluntly. He laugh and kisses her chin.

”Your boobs or your adorable face… I am faithful to you. And only you can give me this kind of hard on.”

”Good.” She stood and kiss him passionately. ”I am leaving so I can prepare our dinner for tonight.”

”Okay.” He kisses her again unable to resist her. But he has tons of work to do and their launching is near. ”Go home, before I chain you with me.” Her eyes were tantalizing as ever and she gave him an innocent look as always. He sigh and close his eyes. ”Sweetheart, be careful on your way.”

”I am always careful and I have your men’s eyes on me. I can also protect myself.”

He knows that she can protect herself but he loves her dearly and pampered her. He could trade anything just for her. He could risk anything just for her. He was her husband after all. And husband don’t just provide money and things to their wife, but to love, pamper and take care of her and to remain a faithful husband.

He walk her to her car and watch her leave. Soon, two motor bikes followed her. His people monitors her so she will be safe when she got home. She was also monitored by the other party, though he knew to himself that she could protect herself. He went back to his office to do his stuff and to get ready for the launching. It’s only three weeks away and he has to fly to the US to check everything before the launching.

Enzo and Catriona are on the island his father had bought as a gift for the three of them. Enzo and Catriona are busy cleaning the big hut. There’s no internet, no electricity, just them and foods.

”Cat, I can do that.” He said as he brushes the spider web from the ceiling.

”If you keep doing that, taking everything that I am cleaning, then I won’t have to clean at all.”

”Yeah, sure. You go take a rest so you’ll have energy for later.” He said with winks. She groan, rolling her eyes and left.

Instead of resting, she cleaned up the master’s bedroom and place the fruits they bought in a basket. They have a lot of food enough for five weeks. But since both of them are foodies and probably, Enzo wouldn’t stop from—doing it.

But thinking of it makes her inner goddess respond. She would never show it in her face though her body opposes it. She went to the bathroom and check the faucet. It is an island but they have water supply. She went outside and finds him rounding up with his cleaning.

”Where do the water supply comes from?” She took the towel and toss it to the topless Enzo. Though he was a nerd type and just like sleeping and eating—he had maintain his body figure. He has a complete six packs abdominal and the way his sweats roll down from his chest to his abdominal is hellish-sexy-alright! That’s it, she have to gather herself before she starts beating him for being handsome and attractive.

”Dad said that there’s a lagoon here for water supply. There’s also a multiple filtration so, its surely clean. But don’t worry, I’ll boil water just to make sure you don’t have diarrhea.”

”Hmm.” She turn back and went to the kitchen to prepare foods and drinks. They had bought glass bottles of beverages and stored some on the yacht they brought along with them.

”Cat,” he calls out. She came back with the coconut water they took just a while ago. He took it and sipped on it. ”How do you want to live if you leave EPUA?”

”I can’t leave EPUA.” She said and sipped on her coconut water. It taste sweet and refreshing than soda.

”You can’t stay in EPUA but you are always part of it.”

”What are you implying?” She asked though she already knew what he meant.

”Do you really think that we can stay in a relationship like this forever?” He lean on the wall and look straight at her. She didn’t answer him and just look outside. ”Catriona, marry me.”

She was silent for a while then she chuckled. There’s no way she could marry him. What if he learns about her? What if he learns about everything? Sabrina stop talking and she was silent about what she saw. She didn’t know what Francisco did to Sabrina’s mother. But she was sure on one thing. She will—torture Francisco together with Janine and others.

”How do you want me to propose to you?” He tug her shirt. ”Tell me and I will do everything just for you to marry me.” He sound desperate and at the same time seducing her.

All she could do was to sigh and face him.

”It’s impossible between us. I am not the type of woman to marry and stay in the house, cook food, wash dishes, clean the house and take care of kids.”

”It’s alright. I won’t marry you because I want you to be a maid or nanny. I can do the house chores and everything else. All I want is for you to be my wife.”

Why does it sounds so good to hear? No. She have to restrain herself from that thing. Marriage wasn’t a part of her plan neither was getting married nor having kids a part. But from his sound and sincere words, it sound very promising but it scares the hell out of her.

And it was—Enzo an Alvarez with a middle name of Mondragon. Her background doesn’t match him. In fact her background is enough to ruin him. He pull her waist slowly and he step closer to her. She was stunned and her heart was racing. Though he was full of sweats and probably dust, he still smell so manly mixed with mint and wood.

”Cat, I am ready to marry you, give you the fanciest wedding you want, raise kids and produce for them and for you I can give them everything they want. I can send them to the finest school in the world and I can spoil you and buy you everything and anything you wanted.”

”It’s not that.” She looks away. ”You are too—naïve.”

”Naïve? Is that really your excuse?” He scoop her chin and turn her face to him. ”Look at me.” She look straight into his eyes. She’s good at lying and pretending but why is she nervous. ”Tell me the truth on why you don’t want us to be together?”

”Enzo, there are lots of woman—I have told you this already.”

”And I also told you already, that I don’t want anyone else but you.”

”Then I am going to ask you again. Why me? Why does it have to be me?”

”Because—I love you, that’s why.”

I love you. Those words were too powerful for her. She has never heard anyone say it to her. She never say the love word in her life. Not even in her sentences. He reach her hand and put it on his chest.

”Now, tell me. Did you feel it? Did you feel how this stubborn heart responds to you? If you keep pushing me away then how will this heart survive?”

”Enzo…” she weaned just to stop him from talking.

”Catriona, I know that you have lots of things that you never tell me. You never want me to learn about your past but that’s alright. What I want is you right now. The present you. I have nothing to do with your past if that’s what you are thinking. But I have to warn you—I will never get married to anyone but you. So if you don’t want to get married—then fine. I will accompany you by being single forever and will be just a fucking friend if that’s what you want.”

”You are stupid.”

”I know.” He smile and kisses her forehead. ”Now, how do you want me to make love to you?”

”Why do you have to always tire me with sex?” She exhales and let him take their glasses away. He pick her up and brought her to the master’s bedroom.

”Because that’s the only way I can please you and satisfy you and at the same time give you my love.” He put her down slowly. She is always speechless whenever he sweet talk her and though she knew that it was a honey trap, she always give herself up to him.
