Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Veronica was walking back to the office to pick up her things when suddenly Mr. Rivera pop up in her office. The smell of his perfume was enough to make her nose hate him. However, she acted like she usually do. A nerd-submissive type of person. That would be their liking.

”Let’s go? We have a party tonight.” Mr. Rivera said like he’s not taking no for an answer. Veronica stopped for a while and then glance at the clock.

”I am so sorry, Mr. Rivera…”

”No. All employees are gathered. Let’s go.”

”But—” he shook his head and pat her arm. She look down at it and wanted to break those fingers of him.

”Everyone are waiting.”

”Okay.” She smile.

She need a real backup. She can’t have Brandy for backup. He was her centaur. But if she use Tony, he’ll be in danger. But everyone know that Tony was her boyfriend. Could she risk that? Anyway, she still has choices. She could always protect herself.

She send Brandy a message and soon, she drove to the club to where other employees are going to gather. To get drunk and other stuffs. She learn from them that they always have a gathering like this every month. She understands how these people would kiss one another or more than that. Each of them are taking happy drugs. It makes them happy and she don’t want to get contact with any of it.

The smell of the club has liquors and different kinds of perfume. She cringe when she saw two people—employees from the same company on the sofa already banging each other with clothes on. Someone was filming and they are partying. She’s afraid that the whole place will turn into orgy club.

She was given a drink but she didn’t drink it. Instead she pour it on the flower pot nearby and turn around. She check everything including the cameras and the counter. Then there’s Sylvia with two hunk gigolos massaging her. She smile and wave at her.

Catriona took the big dog stuff toy in her bedroom. She put it on the cabinet and then she started fixing her suitcase. Enzo was standing and watching her pack up few important things. This is the first time that Catriona would say goodbye to him. But goodbye doesn’t always mean that she’ll be gone for life. Who knows what would happen to their mission?

”Come back to me in a complete piece.” He said and wanted to help her but she stopped him. She was aware that he might plant some bug in her suit case.

”This doesn’t have a bug right?” She lifted the small key of her pendant.

”Nope. Don’t lose that.”

She pack it up now and then she sat down on her bed.

”Are you sure that you don’t like Eunice?” She asked him frankly. Enzo frown at her.

”I like her as a friend.” He said. ”Stop asking nonsense.” He said annoyed. Catriona roll her eyes. This man seemed like having his PMS. But whatever, he surely grew arrogant.

”I am just saying—we don’t know what will happen there. It’s dangerous and—I can’t predict things.”

”Well, all you have to do is try not to get any scratch or worst killed. And make sure you come back to me. I’ll be waiting.” He pats her head. ”That isn’t a hard one right?”

”You are so stupid.” She mutter. He kneel in front of her and shove his face on her stomach.

”I am serious Cat.” Now he sounds lonely. It breaks her heart a little. She brush her fingers on his thick hair. ”I only want you and I love you. I am willing to wait until the contract is void so we can get married and… Cat?”

”Hmm?” He look up at her.

”Finish it quickly. Less than a month would be great. Eat a lot and don’t starve yourself.” He scoop her face. ”You look so thin when you came back… now your cheeks are quite fuller and you’ve gotten fat.” She smack him.

”I am not fat!” she scowl at him. He giggle and shove his face between her chests.

”I want this to be fuller and fatter.”

”Damn.” She rolled her eyes. ”Men only wants women who has big breasts.”

”I love yours… besides, they are mine.”

”Shut up.” They stayed like that for few more minutes and then she speak. ”I only got four hours, before I leave.”

”Then.” He pushes her down on the bed. ”Let’s make love more and kill those four hours.”

Catriona and Enzo make love until they are contented. But both can’t feel contented when they know that they have to part soon. Catriona stay in his arms for the rest of the hour without sleeping. Enzo was afraid that she has to leave. But that’s how it is—Catriona was under his sister and she was loyal to her than him.

She got up & pick up her clothes. Both of them start dressing up and he drove her to EPUA though she doesn’t want him to. He was holding her hand tightly as they enter the building. Then both of them stop when he has to let her go. Tequila and Sabrina is waiting. Enzo doesn’t care how long they have to wait.

Enzo face her and scoop her face.

”Come back to me in a complete piece.” He said again to remind him. ”If you don’t, then I’ll come and find you. No matter where you are.”

”Don’t be stupid. What if I am already dead? Don’t come find me.” She said coldly. At least she has to be strong for both of them. He can’t live his life waiting for her. She just wish that if she dies, he will eventually move on and forget about her.

”Don’t say that.” He frown at her. ”Whatever it takes, come back to me in complete piece.” He kiss her forehead, then her nose and then her lips. ”Accomplish this mission as soon as possible.”

Sabrina watch as her brother become too clingy, worried and lovey dovey to her agent. Why does her brother have to fall in love with her agent? It will surely make him miserable if Catriona fail this mission. To fail this mission is to die. They never know what will happen since it’s a crucial mission.

”Albert,” Enzo turn to him. ”Don’t let anything bad happen to Cat. Both of you have to come back whatever it takes.”

”Got it.”

Enzo hugged her and keep kissing her face. It was breaking his heart that he can’t be in this mission to protect her. Even though he’s been holding her for so long, kissing her and constantly telling her that he loves her, he eventually has to let her go for a while until she comes back.
