Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 24 Shivering Threa

She stagger toward the bathroom and feel so dizzy a glass of champagne. She doesn’t usually get dizzy over a simple drink. She almost trip but a strong cold hands hold her.

“You okay sweetheart?” she look up and saw double. The man was tall and his face is blurry but he got a blonde hair. She immediately flinch and move away but the man grabbed her waist before she fell.

“I—I’m fine.” She still move away and she was dragged but another hand.

She suddenly stop from resisting when she smell Ethan’s scent. She look up at him and he frowns looking down into her eyes. Her eyes are dilated.

“Ethan…” she mutter seductively. Ethan pick her up and she’s shaking. “Why do I feel burning up?” He groan in pain. He’s aroused and his girlfriend is drugged.

He picked her up. He walk pass everyone and went directly to the guestroom. He lay her down on bed, remove his shirt and pants. She puff some air and close her eyes.

“Ethan…” she calls out while he head on the bathroom to prepare a cold water on the bathtub. He immediately fetch a glass of cold water and make her finish it. “I don’t feel well.” She look like a lost puppy at that moment.

“I know.” He pick her up and help her remove her clothes. She didn’t retaliate and she’s on a pair of panties and bras. “Get on the tub.” She followed his instruction and almost sleep on the bathtub. Good, she has to sleep.

He call out Sabrina after he put his pajamas and ask for help. She came before he know it.

“We don’t have something that would fight the **** drug. Uhm,” he was pacing back and forth in panic. “Let’s call a doctor. We need IV and whatnot for her to detoxify.” He clenches his fist in anger and stormed inside the bathroom. She open her eyes and the way she does that was so seductive like a sleeping beauty who just woke up from her long sleep. “Darling,” he reach her face. “What did you drink?”

“Just a glass of champagne.”

“From whom?”

“Uhm, your sister.” He frown and look up at Sabrina who is standing on the door frame. She lifted the tablet.

“Marga gave a glass of champagne to her.”

“Fuck! That bitch!” He clenches his fist and almost punch the wall. He look at his sister as she lifted the tablet.

“Calm down. Let her have the small taste of victory. It’s not that a big victory for her anyway.”

It takes hours until he coax her to sleep. He have to sleep on the sofa for her sake that she might suddenly attack him. The drug was quite strong and only sex could relieve her.

Sabrina was walking on the empty corridor while the guests are saying their goodbyes. Marga was walking toward her direction and she lifted a paper and gave it to her. She sigh with her eyes rolling and read it.

You’ll pay on what you did.

It was simple but it send shivers all over her body. Marga could feel the blood lust cold gaze of Sabrina. She clenches the paper and Sabrina walk off but as Marga shakily look at her back, she couldn’t contemplate herself at that moment. She lean on the corridor and clenches her fist until her fingers dug on her palms.

She never been afraid in her whole life like this. But she’s stubborn and she’s strong. She could beat the mute one. She directly went to her mother and tell her what Sabrina did to her with a little exaggeration.

“Mom, she threaten!” She cried like a good damn drama queen. “She said that she’ll kill me. Because she thought that I drug Ethan’s girlfriend. But I never do it mom. You know me, no matter I dislike the girl.”

“Hush, I know sweetheart.” The mother coaxed her as she caress her hair. “Don’t tell this about your father. But tell him that Sabrina bully you and he’ll be on your side.” Janine smiled so tenderly with a faint evil on it.

While coaxing her daughter, she glare at the wall thinking about the girl that Ethan took to this kind of party. The girl was familiar and she better do a background check on her. The girl will be her rival when it comes to Alvarez’s wealth since Ethan is the CEO of the company.

She planned this all. She better find a suitable woman for Ethan to marry. From an elite family and on that way, she could control the whole Alvarez on her palms. But can she really do it? She knew all along that Sabrina has been hiding from her. She might remember what happened back then, but she was so confused on why Sabrina acted like she don’t remember… she doesn’t speak too.

Enzo was typing on his keyboard while on the hammock of the recording the sound of crickets and the cold wind. He look up to admire the stars above. He sigh, folding his laptop. It was too dark on his location so no one would probably see him.

He thought that someone who come out was just some random person but to his luckiness, it was Janine and she pull out her phone dialing someone as she glance around. She didn’t notice him there.

“Gustavo, I’m going to give you something to do. I got a feeling that we’ve encounter some peasant girl. I’ll send you her name and photo.”

“Madam, it is just easy for me to find someone. You can trust me.” She hang up and walk back inside the house.

The first thing that Enzo did was to make sure that it was recorded and clear though there are background noises.

“Hmm, very interesting.” He open his laptop and do some work so he could find her future sister in law’s background. A message pop up and he click to open Sabrina’s message.

“I think I know what you are doing.” He type on his laptop.

“You got it right. Are you familiar with Aria?”

“Very much.” He whistle and relaxes a little. He got a long paperwork to do.

Gabriel was sitting on the edge of the bed while Sabrina is sitting on the couch with her laptop doing whatever she was doing. She look so serious and her reading glasses looks adorable on her. She’s like a seductive dangerous woman at that moment.

It was a good pass time that he is adoring her while she’s busy. Never in his life did he does something boring on his life. But watching her wasn’t boring at all.

“Still busy, sweetheart?” she nodded and type fast on the computer. “Not sleepy?” she nodded again. She type on her laptop keyboard and a message pop up on his phone. He open it and glance at her.

“You sleep. I’ll guard you.”

A slow smile crept on his lips with a little laugh. Damn, his woman is so adorable. She look so cute and adorable and at the same time, her actions and words makes him melt. He strode to her and she look up and let him kiss her lips.

“Good night then.” He stare at her eyes one for few seconds and kiss her forehead.

He lay down on his bed and still watch her do whatever she was doing until he slowly fell into a deep good sleep.
