Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Veronica put her best dress on, elegant yet looking dangerous. She fix her hair and put her on dark lipstick and light make up. The dress was bought by Tony. He just love seeing her in dress and her body would suit in any kind of dress even if she wore a rag—she would still look beautiful.

”Fighting, my baby.” He kisses her lips. ”By the way, your grandpa is in the living room.” He winks. Veronica exhales.

”Why didn’t you tell me?”

”It was a surprise.” She got out and found Calvin sitting on the sofa with his crane. He is looking healthier and looking young.

”Grandpa.” She said like she always and usually call him. He stood and walk toward her slowly. She held his hand.

”Don’t let your father manipulate you. You know that I am just behind you to back you up. If you remember anything at all—just tell me, not directly to him.” She nodded from his advice. ”Remember, once he manipulate you—he’s going to grab everything that’s yours.”

”Okay.” She look at Tony who is also ready for her.

”And, Tony, can’t you afford a house for my granddaughter? I can give you one house—”

”Grandpa…” Tony weans, ”I have few real estates and our future home is still under construction.”

Calvin shut up for a while.

”Grandpa, I chose this unit because it’s convenient considering where we both work.” She said. Besides—it’s comfortable here.”

”It’s comfortable anywhere as long as I am with you.” Tony said and winks at her. What a punch line. She rolled her eyes and turn back to her grandfather.

Veronica drove the Maserati that Calvin brought for her. She drove it to the building where she work. She resigned from work and now will be on training as a leader and heiress of Ivanov and her father’s business. She will surely make Ivanov’s business grow and pull down Francisco’s company. She exhales and gave her key to the valet who greet her.

She walk inside as Sylvia greets her and bring her to the conference room where all of the stock holders and board membersare. She scan them one by one—she will threaten them until they pull out their stock from Francisco. Once Francisco is alone—it will be game over and she will bring him to Sabrina. EPUA can’t have his army declare war to them once they have him.

”My daughter, Vanessa will be here to be my apprentice.” Francisco stated.

Veronica greet them and have a little speech. Then they start to ask her what she knows about the company. Since she already research and learn from it. Francisco will give her the first project and she has to succeed on it. Of course it wasn’t on illegal part. Francisco couldn’t entrust her his main business. But while she’s on her project—she will ensure that his illegal business go down. That’s when Brandy will be in action.

Everything should be smooth now. Veronica took the files and look at it. Her mind was like a robot as her imagination goes wild and she started working and making a proposal. She then call out for an engineer and architect. She had a two hours meeting with them directly and tell them what she wanted. She needed it ASAP.

Sabrina was fitting her gown for the reunion. Ethan would bring Aria and Enzo would be alone and she will be with Gabriel. The twins will be in the hand of Ferdinand and Gabriel’s parents. She listen to Brandy’s updates and she was relaxed yet felt a little anxious. She trust Veronica. She can do it and bring Francisco to her.

”My Goddess.” Gabriel wrapped his arms around and kisses her naked shoulder.

”My love…” She wrapped her arms around him. He pull out the box and opened it. He customize few of her gems into a beautiful necklace. Her eyes widens with gasped. Its so beautiful and matches her gown.

”Oh, Gabby.”

”Of course, my wife is too expensive.” He kisses her hand. ”Soon enough, my love, you will rule our world. No one can bully you.” Sabrina smile and stop herself from tearing up. He gave her the box and gently pull out the necklace and place it on her neck. It also has matching earrings. Everything are diamond and rubies.

Sabrina hold his hand and kisses his wrist. He patted her head with his other hand.

”Anything for you Sabrina.”

Sabrina and Gabriel enter in their Roll Royce. The one that Gabriel is saving for this kind of event. Sabrina hold her purse as she check on her phone regularly. Gabriel drove it to the school and they came late. He park in the middle of the red carpet and everyone gawk at the luxurious car. Ethan and Enzo also have their sports car the one that Gabriel brought for them as a gift last year.

”Damn, this couple are really good at showing up.” Ethan mutter to Aria. Aria giggles and hold on him. ”Don’t worry baby. We won’t take long here. So we could see our twins.” He murmur in her ear. ”You look sexy by the way.” Aria flushes and he winks at her.

Those girls who bully Sabrina back then drop their jaws as Gabriel got out and open up the door for Sabrina. Males droll by just looking at Sabrina. Her body was a perfect—hour glass, her skin was even perfect and the gown that she wore was dress to kill. Gabriel gave the key to the valet who took over the car.

Gabriel place a hand at the small opening on her back as they walk on the red carpet and photographers keep clicking their cameras. The flashes of Cameras were blinding but Sabrina and Gabriel’s stolen photos was all worth it since both of them are photogenic.

”Tsk.” Enzo follow them. ”You two really know how to steal the spot light.” He wrap his other arm on Aria’s free arm as they walk with Gabriel and Sabrina.

”That’s because my wife is beautiful.” Gabriel said and smile at them. ”You look stunning Aria—as always.”

”Thanks, Gabby.” Aria smile sweetly.

”Sis-in law. Am I not stunning?” Enzo asked. Aria patted him.

”You are stunning, Enzo. But not as stunning as my husband.”

Ethan grin and smack his lips on Aria as he gave Enzo a mischievous smile. Enzo keep feeling depress as days pass. If Catriona was here, he would cherish her like or more than Gabby and Ethan do to their wives.

The host greets them and he was like a big fan of Gabriel Lawson who can’t help but to almost faint. Lots of women couldn’t help but to gawk at Gabriel, Enzo and Ethan. They don’t know who to choose if they have a chance to have a one night stand with them. But it was just their wishful thinking and no one could have them.

They settled on the seat of a round table with names. Gabriel pull a chair for her and she sat down gracefully. Ethan do the same with his wife and Enzo pull a chair for Ethan. Ethan thank him but before he even sat down, Enzo sit and occupy his supposed to be chair beside Aria.

Aria giggles. Ethan wanted to peel him alive.

”Why don’t you go and find Catriona? Stop bugging me and my wife.”

”If someone could tell me where she is—I am willing to stop bugging you.” He said. Sabrina ignore him.
