Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Sabrina has been trying to get Veronica away from Tony but Tony is too possessive of his fiancée. He wasn’t done yet on punishing her and Veronica is starting to grow tired of it. Brina faced her husband and pouted at him. Gabriel already knows what she’s pouting about so he patted her head and talked to Tony.

”Let go of Veronica. Will you? We need to talk.” Gabriel demanded.

”No. We can talk in front of her.” Tony was stubborn. He has a right to her. She is his and he is hers and he has a right to be possessive. He glowered at the little Devil who frowned at him.

”Come on. My wife needed to talk to her.” Gabriel tried to convince him. Veronica struggled from Tony’s embrace. ”Do you want the CEO position in the company? I can give it to you next year.”

”Why would I have to wait next year?”

”Because the holidays are coming.” Gabriel rolled his eyes and wanted to smack Tony. ”Let her go. Now.” Tony glanced at Veronica.

”I will fucking kill you if you don’t let me go.” So Tony didn’t have a choice but to let her go. He glowered at the smirking Brina.

”You little devil.” Tony gritted at Sabrina. Sabrina flipped her hair and Veronica followed her to the study.

”Women need space. If you keep doing that to Veronica, aren’t you afraid that she might leave you when she got suffocated with your relationship?”

Tony had thought about it. Gabriel is right. He’s being too much to Veronica. Maybe because he loved her so much that he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to their family. Tony nodded at Gabriel and did talk to him about business while Sabrina and Veronica are in Sabrina’s study room drinking wine.

”We found resources,” Sabrina said. ”A lot of resources around the world,” Sabrina muttered in a dangerous voice. The study room was soundproof. She turned on her computer and the photos of Francisco’s resources came up.

Veronica studied each of them. It’s all familiar to her. Veronica stood as she walked closer to an old villa. It was her childhood home. Veronica clicked the remote to stop it from playing.

”You recognize that?”

”That’s where my mom and I spend our days. Francisco is always far away and with his mistresses. Mom and I always do the hunting—hunting for the unknown—it’s the play we used to do. There are secret passages there. Hidden puzzles. Francisco stayed there—in the secret room.”

”Can you tell me? What’s in the secret room?”

Veronica dug up her memories to feed Sabrina some information. Sabrina’s mind has become greater and greater. She’s calculating everything. Soon enough Francisco will find out that Veronica is his long lost daughter. Since Veronica was the heiress of the Mafia group, the only granddaughter of the man who owns a big gang that was now ruling by Francisco.

”Don’t worry Sabrina. I will bring him to you.” Veronica said. Sabrina already plotted Veronica’s past. So Francisco wouldn’t think that Sabrina was behind it all.

”Can you?” Sabrina asked just to make sure of her heart though she’s been asking and asking her for years.

”Brina. I promised you. You are my only friend. Besides, I will avenge my mother. My grandfather is also in danger since he’s been held as a captive. Francisco is ruling everything now.” Veronica’s hand clenched as she glowered at the old villa. ”I have to go there.”

”You will. Soon.” Sabrina made sure of it. ”I’ll start with little ones of his resources.” She sat down on the beautiful throne that Gabriel customized for her. The chair was special and he designed it himself. That’s how Gabriel was doting towards his Queen.

”Be fast Sabrina. I don’t know how long I could hold myself every time I see him.”

”You are more patient than that Veronica. But I see that you lose patience when it comes to Tony. Start with that.” Sabrina teased. Veronica rolled her eyes whenever Sabrina teased her with Tony like that.

”Tony and I are different from all of these.”

”But Tony is impatient. Once he asked you to marry him, don’t restrain yourself anymore. Papers are gone. You are free to marry a man that has an army.” Veronica was surprised by Sabrina. Was she the one to void the contract? Which means that she could marry Tony without worrying about the contract. But it wasn’t about the contract at all. It was because of the mission that she’s stuck with.

”Do you want me to marry someone like Tony?”

”Yes. Wealthy, have a high status and have his own men. In that way, he could protect you. I may not protect you anymore when I have my own family but I will still try my best. I haven’t protected Tequila and Catriona well from Eros…” Sabrina stared at the big screen in deep thought. ”I want to give my husband some little brats.” She said. ”Once I am done with this mission—I am going to focus on him and our family.”

Veronica understood her. But she didn’t need to get married for her to be protected. She can protect herself from her own evil father and from everyone. Does she really need protection?

”You need protection.” Sabrina filled her thoughts. She could read people easily. ”You need someone to love you. Tony loves you, doesn’t he?”

”I don’t know if it’s true,” Veronica said truthfully. ”He’s just a human—he can fall out of love once he learns things from me. I haven’t known the whole of him yet. Did you know Gabriel? The whole and the true him?” Veronica was doubtful. It was an arranged marriage after all. ”You and Gabriel just met not long enough before the two of you got married.”

”I know him. Like we met before—I had known him long enough. I know that he loves me and he is faithful to me. I don’t need to force him to show what he is—he already did. Every dark side of him. And I love it all.”

They are both evils in their way. Veronica smiled stealthily. The two suited each other well. Veronica finishes her wine and talks more about their plan. Only Sabrina and she knows how the plan will go on since they’ve known each other for long and everyone could say that she’s a loyal wolf. But Sabrina never treated her like a dog. She treats her like a human and someone that has a value.

There’s a knock on the door that interrupted them from sipping on their wine and their conversation. Then a loud knock and knock. Sabrina checked the footage and found that it was Tony getting impatient.

”Tony is impatient? How long did he hold himself not to make love with you?”

”It wasn’t that long. We make out—you know.” Veronica muttered in front of her wine and she drank it again. ”Tony’s idea—he just can’t stop touching me. And he keeps on doing it again and I suggested to him that we should do it but he kept on saying that we have to get married first—if I didn’t make a move—nothing will happen.” Sabrina laughed out loud and let Tony knock on the door. Soon her husband called and she answered it immediately.

”Hope nothing bad happened there?” Gabriel asked, very calm.

”Hmm. We are fine. We are just admiring how Tony gets crazy.”

”Ohh, honey, stop teasing the man. He’s been like that because something triggered him.” Gabriel said. Sabrina frowns.

”Trigger what?”

”Just let Tony in. Okay?”

”Okay. I’ll be with you.” She hung up and she looked at Veronica and cock her head on the door. ”Go back to your fiancé. And by the way—we will soon know the genders of the babies.”

”I can’t wait.” Veronica went to the door and opened it. Tony’s furious eyes glared at Sabrina who only looked calm and teasing him with her evil smile.

”Let’s go home. Next time, we won’t have dinner here.”

”Stop saying nonsense,” Veronica said and glanced at Sabrina as Tony took her away. Sabrina scoffed and then she laughed. She pitied Tony. Well, Veronica satisfied him, maybe she pitied him less now. But what about Tony? Why did he become too possessive?
