Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Gabriel was pacing back and forth. He couldn’t call his wife. He sent men to protect Catriona and Enzo was on his way there through Sabrina. He pull his hair. He was sleepless for two days and he haven’t gotten a word from his wife.

”Find her.” He told his men.

He call his men and found that EPUA already took Catriona with Enzo. He was relived but not totally until he saw Catriona alive. He grab his jacket and texted his wife.

”Wife, call me ASAP. I am worried.”

He drove his motorbike directly to the nearest hospital. He saw the dogs running and they are bigger than before. They jump on him and he started patting each of it. Two of his guards were outside the room. They open the door for him and he found Catriona on the bed with a swollen stomach.

”Enzo let’s talk.” Gabriel said. ”How did Sabrina know that those assassins will attack today?”

”I don’t know. She called me and sent the location to her A-Special Agents. She talk to me—she’s crying and—” Enzo didn’t want to tell it to Gabriel but he just said it. It will make him more worried.

”What? She’s crying?” Gabriel’s face darkens. Something bad is happening. Something isn’t right. ”What exactly did she say?”

”Save Cat and she ask me if I love her… then she said that she loves you and she’ll be home soon.”

Gabriel didn’t say anything at all.

”Sabrina—she found out something.” Catriona said.

”Enzo, protect Cat. I’ll find her.”

”Okay.”

He left the hospital. Don’t know what to feel right now. His wife is in danger and he didn’t even know what happened to her. His phone chimes and he answer it.

”Sir there’s an ambush near the Mondragon Villa.”

Gabriel’s eyes dilated. He immediately call his pilot.

Anastasia was panting as she run along with the doctors. It was a good thing that she became stubborn and took one of the car and follow her daughter. She’s been missing her and her sons and the pain that she’s seeing on her cause her tears slowly.

Then she gasped when a car followed Sabrina. She immediately call her father and soon, she saw how they shot Sabrina’s car and how Sabrina turn her car facing them and shot them as well. She nearly scream when another car attack her daughter’s car as it was push on the cliff. The cliff wasn’t that deep but she felt like she fall with her.

She got out from her car and soon, her father’s men came up and drag her away. Two car follow the culprits and two call for chopper and back up.

Anastasia’s legs wobble as she watch the car sink deep on the water.

”Sabrian!” She scream. Ezekeil hold her. ”Dad! Save my baby!” She said and nearly breaking down. She was crying and screaming her name.

It took five minutes when the chopper responded. They took out the car from the water and Anastasia run as they break the door. It was lock and closed. Blood gushes down on Sabrina’s face from her head.

”Ohh.” Anastasia sobbed holding her mouth.

They check her pulse. She has an oxygen mask and she’s breathing. They took her out gently giving her first aid. Anastasia wanted to come with them but Ezekiel stop her.

”No.”

”Dad! Can’t you see? Sabrina is injured! She needs me.”

”We will go there.” He told her. ”Calm down. We can’t crowd them there.”

She calm down and get into the car as their driver follow the chopper to EPUA facility. Ezekiel gave her black shades and scarf. Anastasia took the bottle of water that her father gave to her as he comfort her all the way to EPUA facility.

They reach the facility and Anastasia was covered by four body guards. They waited outside the operation room and soon the doctor come out and said that her head has been hit badly and there’s no clotting and she’s stable. Anastasia was relieved that Sabrina was safe.

”But I have to warn you—she doesn’t want to wake up.” The doctor said. ”Because of the trauma it will be hard for her to wake up and some of her brains have been affected. He will conduct head CT-scan to know if there are further damage.” He told them. ”The patient is married.” The nurse came up with a zip lock with her things. Engagement ring and wedding ring.

”So, if she’s pregnant we can’t proceed to do full body CT-scan so I suggest that we will have to focus on her head first.”

Ezekiel’s mind started working on how he will cover up these things.

”Dad, you have to call Gabriel.” Anastasia said.

”No. Do not call him.” He rejected. ”When can we see her?” He asked the doctor.

”You can see her now… she will be transferred to her private room.”

”What if she’s pregnant?” Anastasia was worried. ”Dad, we arent just responsible for her. Sabrina is married.”

”Stop it.” He said as he dismiss everyone and they proceed to the private room. ”You have to compose yourself. No one can know that you are alive.”

Anastasia stopped and look at her father with broken eyes.

”When did you become this heartless? She’s your granddaughter! She’s my daughter! She have a life outside but she lived her youth practicing and planning a crime for you!” She hold her chest and turn to her daughter with bandage on her head and neck brace. There are apparatus connected to her and it breaks her heart seeing her daughter in that condition.

”That’s what she should do! She wanted it.” Ezekiel argued. ”I am doing everything to protect you, Ana.”

”Are you really protecting me? By keeping me and locking me up taking me away from my children?”

”They all grow well.” He said and turn back from her. He doesn’t want to argue with this but Ana was right. But what else could he do? He doesn’t want to lose a daughter again.

”They did but not Sabrina. She needs me. My sons needed me. Do you know how she watch those disgusting things that happened to me? She watched it all—not even blinking and planned on how to kill each of them. I never wanted my daughter to grow up that way…”

Ezekiel hold her.

”They cannot know that you are alive until they have Francisco and Janine and everyone who hurt you.”

Anastasia turn back from him and sat down as she hold Sabrina’s hand and kisses it.

”I’m so sorry, my Princess.”
