Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Present

Anastasia cover her mouth and stop herself from running to her daughter. She’s been longing to hug her and her sons. She’s been longing to see them and give them kiss. It’s been three years since she remembers everything. She was kept by her father after she woke up from coma and had an amnesia. She acted like an infant again as she goes on with the therapy for years.

Sabrina looked betrayed and it pains her seeing that she’s in pain. Anastasia walk little by little to Sabrina but she pull out a gun and pointed it to her.

”How dare you use me?” Sabrina said that into Ezekiel’s face with her gun pointed toward Anastasia.

”I just did that to avenge what Francisco did.”

”Is it just what he did? Kidnap your daughter and raped her? Or do you have other grudges why you hate him so much?”

Ezekiel didn’t say anything at all as he try to remain calm.

”Your mother is the only one I have—point the gun to me.”

”NO!” Sabrina fire the gun but down on the grass and pointed it back to Anastasia. ”She’s dead.” She mutter.

”Sabrina, Princess please…” Anastasia pleaded. ”Don’t do this…”

”Don’t do what?” She asked Anastasia coldly.

”Your mother don’t know anything at all. It was all me.” Ezekiel exclaim. ”She was operated and fall into coma. Some of the veins affected her brain… she didn’t remember anything at all until three years ago when she saw you in New York. I kept her so no one would ever hurt her not even your stupid father.”

Sabrina put down her gun.

”Why?” She asked. ”Why do you have to keep her from us? From me?”

”It’s the only way.” Ezekiel said trying to plead with Sabrina since she has a gun. ”Brina, let’s talk.”

”There’s nothing to say.” Sabrina said still trying to be strong. ”Why do you hate Francisco? Why do you want me to even use his own daughter to capture him and torture him? Why?!” She scream at him.

”Because he killed my wife!” Ezekiel let it all out. Anastasia was even surprise. ”When your grandmother found out that Francisco was planning to **** your mother so he could impregnate her and be with her—she tried to fight him. But he pushed her on the staircase…” Ezekiel’s heart was breaking as he said those words. ”Francisco was obsessed with your mother. My wife just wanted to protect her daughter… I just want to protect my daughter too! I couldn’t protect my wife because I was occupied with other matters…”

Ezekiel hold his chest as he sigh.

”You could’ve said it all. But you manipulate me… Is this why you don’t want Catriona to be with Enzo?” Sabrina has to make sure that her grandfather has nothing to do with it.

Ezekiel’s eyes darkens.

”They can’t be together.” He said strongly. ”I would never let one of my blood be with that bastard’s blood!”

”You—you tricked me again!” She scream at him. Then turn to her mother who continues looking at her and crying. ”From now on, you no longer have access in EPUA. From now on… I will never take order from you.” She said as she left and drives her car recklessly

Sabrina was crying so she stop the car on the side of the road and screamed and cry there. Her mother was alive and she’s been mourning for years. Her grandfather tricked and manipulated her just to get his own revenge. She didn’t want to revenge but she did because of her mother. She just want to live happy with everyone she loves. Then she thought of Catriona. She turn on her phone and call Enzo.

”Hey—” Enzo said from the other line. Sabrina sniffled and cleared her throat. ”Babe are you okay?”

”Enzo…”

”Yes? Where are you?”

”Save Cat… Please save her… you love her right?”

”I do! Where is she?” Enzo said in rush.

”Tell Gabby that I love him and I’ll be home soon.” She hang up and send Enzo the location. She closed her eyes feeling tired from the years of working and gaining power. She suddenly don’t want it anymore.

But what is she going to do? Some assassins are on their way to Catriona. She couldn’t save them now. She wipe her tears and sniffle. She send red alert to her own agents. Veronica, Whiskey, Brandy and Tequila and tag Catriona and Tequila’s location.

She turn on her car again and drive. She reach for the bottle of water that her agents stored for her and open the cap. She drank it all and drive on the road. She open the window and inhale the breeze coming from the beach.

She glance on the rear mirror to find a black car. Then a gun was pulled out from the driver’s seat. It wasn’t EPUA. Then who is it? She turn the steering wheel as they fire on her direction. Her rear mirrow was broken.

She punch the alarm on the call to call EPUA’s agent nearby. Sabrina reach her gun and twist the steering wheel as the car turn and face the car that’s ambushing her. She roll the window and started firing them. She glance on the rear mirror inside and drove backward as she keep firing them. Her windshield is bullet proof so she is safe.

”Fuck.” She turn her car back around facing the road and drive fast away from them. She didn’t expect that it was an ambush as another car hit her at the back and one hit her car at her left as her car slide down on the small cliff.

Sabrina close her eyes and reach the oxygen mask on the car. She made sure that her car was all closed as it fall into the water. What she didn’t expect that her head would bump on the window shield and the gun would hit her head. She lose consciousness as the car sink down into the ocean.

♥♥♥

Catriona woke up from the beep that she’s hearing. She immediately got up from her bed as Tequila burst in and took her to the safe room with the dogs. They are now surrounded.

”Gun.” Catriona ask him. He gave her a gun and bullet proof vest. It was small that it couldn’t cover her big tummy.

”Don’t worry. You will be safe.” Tequila kisses her forehead as he lock the room and got out. Catriona shush the dogs for them to remain quiet.

Catriona closes her eyes as she heard slashing of flesh and guns. She rubbed her stomach. She have to remain alive for her babies. That’s the only way.

Someone was breaking into the safe room. Catriona ready two of her guns and the safe room burst open as fast footsteps coming on her way. She started firing them right through their heads though she was blind and they are swift and could move like a shadow. She knows how to kill them. She practice this and the training was all worth it.

”Cat!” Tequila calls and finding her safe. ”There are a lot more. We have to leave!” He took her to the secret passage as the dogs follow them.

Then a bulky assassin come their way with a throw knife. He lifted his knife and General attack his thing.

”Woah, General. I salute you.” Tequila said as he shoot the man directly to his skull.
