Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Aria was preparing her husband’s lunch box since he has gone back to the company. Sabrina was so drunk last night and she saw how Gabriel was worried and furious that she’s not picking up his calls last night. She will just delivery it to someone since she couldn’t leave the twins.

She put it in a lunch box to keep it warm. Then the butler took to the company. She was about to check her sleeping babies when the maid came up to her.

”Madam, Mr. Mondragon, Boss’s Grandfather is here.”

She was surprise and she wasn’t ready. She’s wearing a comfortable home clothes but she didn’t want the old man to wait long for her.

”Prepare his requests.” She said and fix herself a little and then went to the living room.

He saw an old man standing straight and looking up at their wedding painting.

”Mr. Mondragon.” She greets and smile cheerily at him when he turn around. ”Good day, please have a seat.”

”Hmm.” He went to the sofa and seat comfortably.

”I’m Aria, Ethan’s wife.”

”I know.” He said monotonously.

”Would you like some tea or coffee?”

”Ginger tea.” She nods on the maid waiting for order. ”I came here to personally see you since you and my grandson elope in Hawaii.” He was straight forward and she’s quite nervous. ”Honestly, I don’t like you because of your background. But you once save my dear granddaughter and Ethan was in love with you.” She didn’t say anything. She didn’t know what to even say.

”Anyway, I just want to see my great grandchildren, where are they?”

”They are currently sleeping now, but I can take you there so you could have a look.”

He nods and she led him upstairs. The old man can still walk stairs without crane. Just how old was he? He must be too old but still he looks young.

”So, dear are you planning for another set of children?” She was surprise at his question.

”Uh, we haven’t thought about it yet.” She open the door and let the old man in first. He went to the big crib and then watch as those adorable twins sleep like they don’t care about the world.

Ezekiel’s heart melted seeing the twins. He bent down and reach Anastasia’s hand.

”Their names?”

”We name them after you and Ethan’s mom.”

”So, Ezekiel Jr.?”

”Yes and Anastasia Rose.”

”Hmm.”

”My only granddaughter, Sabrina looks like her grandmother and this little one looks so much like my only daughter Ana. You did name them well.” He then reach Ezekiel Jr.’s hand. ”Strong and will be a sharpshooter.”

”I understand that your family background came from military… but I am afraid that one of them would join dangerous work.” She said honestly.

”There’s no need to be afraid about it, Aria. Mondragon can be the last man standing.” He said. ”Ezekiel Jr. and Anastasia will be one of my heir. I am not getting younger anymore. And to be frank with you, please don’t betray this family and Ethan whatever happens. Mondragon can protect you. You are under Sabrina’s protection as well.”

”I will never do anything to betray the family.” She said truthfully.

”Good. Because Aria, you never know what will happen tomorrow. Protect your children well. They will continue the family legacy.”

”Family legacy?”

”Yes, the two has become my heir and heiress. I don’t just own an army or few businesses. Sabrina grow an army herself and had joined with mine. Soon, Mondragon will also join until we are strong enough to rule the world.”

It sound so big and Aria as a mother was terrified for her kids. Mondragon’s army? Just how many of them own an army?

”I’ll be leaving soon, so take care of your family.”

”Would you like to eat first? I’ve prepare lunch.” She offer politely.

”Okay.”

Ezekiel was impressed with her cooking. That would be one of the point on why his grandson married her. He didn’t know how he could still keep up on this kind of situation but he’s only doing this to protect his family and have his revenge.

Once he’s done eating a very tasty and good meal, he left the house and got into the car. His cellphone rings and he smile.

”Sweetheart, I’m on my way back.”

”Okay. Take care and have a safe trip.” The sweet voice of a woman was heard and his heart always melt just hearing her voice.

”I will dear. Ready for our flight?”

”Uhuh.”

”I’ll be there.” He hang up. ”Let’s go.” He command the driver.

Veronica was preparing papers for the conference at four and she ready herself for recording it. She wore a contact lens that has a camera and then she put eyeglasses so they wouldn’t notice that she’s wearing a contact lens.

She’s recording the meeting right now while she’s encoding the minutes of meeting. She’s sharp even though she’s doing multi-tasking, she listened to every detail. It was her first time been in the same room with Francisco and she remain incognito. Francisco of course doesn’t really care about his secretary’s secretary since his secretary was like the big boss as well.

”There have been leaks of information in Switzerland and we have been searching for possible spies.” The manager of the protection and security said.

Shit. They knew. Sabrina has to know this.

”We are still investigating the matter.”

”Make sure to find EPUA’s spy. I am so sure that it must be EPUA since they have been targeting us.” Francisco said. ”And run a thorough examination on everybody inside the facility.” Francisco’s mind was working. They have to ambush them quickly before they find out about Cat and Tequila.

After her work, she drove away to her unit. She knows that she’s been followed by Sylvia’s men since she’s new and she was a possible spy. She already run a thorough examination from the secret cameras in the condo and they did break in and check her unit.

Good thing that her spy gadgets were in Brandy’s room that would be just in front of her door. Someone rings her door and she open it. A pot of day lilies surprise her.

”Hi.” Tony greets. Now she has found an excuse to send message. She took the plant and put it on the side table near the door and she grab his nape and starts kissing him. He almost got out of balance since he’s holding paper bags of foods. ”Oh.” It was a thank you kiss. ”I love it when you become aggressive.”
