Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 5
Advertisement
Gabriel wanted to curse and scold her for driving a motorbike rather than a car. Enzo didn't have a choice but to lead him to her room. She's sleeping, the duvet is covering half of her body and she's like a sleeping beauty. He moved to her queen bed and put his hand over her forehead. She frowned when she felt his hand.
"You naughty girl, why would you drive a motorbike when it is raining?" Gabriel scolded her in low voice.
Enzo gave the flowers to the maid. The maid left and Enzo crossed his arms at Gabriel.
"Since you've seen her, and you may now leave." Gabriel pulled the duvet till it reached under her chin.
"I will call a doctor," Gabriel said. He pulls out his phone.
"She has her own doctor. He should be on his way here by now." Enzo said while rolling his eyes.
Gabriel stood and face Enzo. He patted his shoulder.
"We will be brothers soon. Don't get overprotective of her. I will protect her as well." Gabriel smile at him in a devil way.
"What is really your motive in choosing my sister?" Enzo asked.
Gabriel smiles and Enzo suddenly crept out. Gabriel never really smile like that.
"Let's just say that she's the best pillow in the world." Enzo's face darkens and he put down his hand and clenches his fist. "Don't get angry, bro. I am now taking responsibility for her because of what happened to both of us nine months ago." Gabriel said bluntly.
"Asshole!"
"I know." He went back to the bed and kisses her forehead. "I will leave now and will probably be here tonight so that I can take care of her. You are free to mess around with women tonight."
"Okay! I gave up!" Enzo left the room.
He exhales and watched the sleeping goddess. He bent down and kisses her dry lips.
"You stubborn girl, I'll torture you tonight." He stayed for a while, wiping her hot face and then finally left.
When he got to his office, he started reading the data about her. Ten years ago, she was fifteen years old when she got kidnapped with her mother. They were locked up in an abandoned house away from people near the beach. Her mother died from a gunshot and her body was burnt from the fire.

She was in deep trauma, never spoke to anyone and even her psychiatrist couldn't do anything about her depression. She might have witnessed something other than that. But she remembers nothing at all, and her mouth was clearly shut.
She had no boyfriends and friends at all. Only her brothers. An odd report was that she was molested by her stepmother and she never fight back and ignored it like it never really happened at all. Her brothers are overprotective of her and another odd thing is, she studied a lot of martial arts and even went abroad to a secret school. That is unknown.
"You have two hours of free time, sir," Oliver said
"Hmm, I'll finish a few things then. Free my time by four o'clock so that I can visit my fiancée." He ordered.
"Yes, sir."
"I'll probably drive myself there so you are dismissed after work." He added.
"Thank you."
He worked nonstop and finish the stacks of papers in front of him putting the finished paper on the right. After what seemed like three hours, he just felt that he has to take a break. He went on the treadmill and started strolling and stretches his back. While walking, he thought of something that would make her fall for him.
Though he wasn't sure of what he wanted—but he was sure of something. He will marry her and make her his pillow at night so he could have a nice sleep. He slept for five hours last night and it is enough then two to three hours of sleep daily. It would be nice to hear her voice. She isn't muted that's what he thought. She just doesn't want to speak at all.
He resumed work again and ordered a coffee from his secretary. He worked efficiently until he finished the mountain of papers in complete three hours. He then got up took his lunch in his office and call Enzo who answered in a few rings.
"How is my sweetheart?" He asked.
"Sweetheart?" Enzo snorted. "Well, she's still sleeping. Her fever is still 39 degrees Celsius. The doctor said that it is a simple fever and he will check on her thoroughly." He said monotonously.
"Hmm, okay. Did she eat?"
"She was asleep. She won't eat at all."

"I'll be there by five."
"It's better if you don't come here though. But the butlers have settled a guest room in front of hers. I think dad isn't against it anymore." Enzo said.
"Of course, he isn't. We will be family soon enough." Gabby muttered.
"Whatever you say, Gabriel." Enzo rolled his eyes.
His assistant came and he signed him to continue while he's eating.
"Last night there was a big explosion in the Snake Headquarters. Barret the head gang was dead shot on the head and others. The killer was a real sharpshooter."
"Snake headquarters, the one who has been threatening us for the site that they couldn't even get?"
"Their business collapsed after the bombing." I checked the tablet where he sent the footage of the report.
"Good. We won't have problems with them anymore. Do you know who had done it?"
"It seemed they had captured someone they shouldn't. The secret organization of Spies." He stopped. "There's no name and it remains discreet as it is. It seemed they are surely hard to locate." Oliver added.
"We won't mess up with them." It's a good choice. Though he really wanted to know about the boss of that discreet organization that earned millions every day.
He finally leaves at three and went around to the boutique to buy her something. From his observation in her room, she has a collection of series books. He didn't buy books because she probably had a lot.
From the reports he has, she had a dog back then that died after her kidnapping incident. It died together with her mom. And she never had any pet at all after that. No pet at this moment. He will just buy something that she might like. Then his driver arrives with a few of his clothes since he will sleep over hoping for a good sleep.
He told his driver to drive there while he checked his emails and tried to finish half of his work for tomorrow. It takes at least an hour to get to their mansion. He put his laptop and tablet in his leather bag. The door opens and since it is raining again, a big umbrella was waiting for him and his driver to walk him to the main door.
He was greeted by Marga and he responded with a nod. Then her mother greets him warmly with cheeks to cheeks, treating him like a family. The butler came with his little suitcase.
"What will you like for a snack?" Janine asked in a very motherly act.
"Anything." He replied.
"Please led him to his room."
He went to his room on the west wing, just right in front of her room. As soon as he put his things in order and the butler is done arranging his clothes on the cabinet, he took a warm shower, change into his casual clothes and went to her room to visit her. Enzo is sitting on her swivel chair while playing something on his phone.
An IV was connected to her. She's sleeping, sideways facing his direction. He sat down beside her and caress her hair. Her temperature is hotter than before.
"Why isn't her temperature dropping?" he asked Enzo.
"I don't even know what to do so here I am, playing games while waiting for her to wake up and eat something."
"Did she wake up after I left?"
"Yup. Just two times." She looked pale and he's worried. The doctor came again and check her temperature. He frowns. "What?" They both asked in a panic.
"Her temperature is 40 degrees."
"Shit!" Enzo cursed and was pacing back and forth. "Is this trauma again?"
"I think it is, young master." He now understands. She should wake up.
"Sabrina." He called her name but she's not even responding. "Hey," he caressed her hair.
"No vomit, no shaking… she's just sleeping. I'll check her breathing." The doctor said taking his stethoscope. He immediately moved away. "Her breathing is normal. It seems that it is just her temperature."
He called for the maid to sponge bath her. The doctor injects a medicine for fever through her IV and they left waiting outside.
"Why are you worried?" Enzo suddenly asked checking if his brother is online.
"Of course, I am worried about my bride," Gabriel answered.

Ortus
A woman wakes up in a forest, naked, alone, and injured. She has nothing but a strange, black dagger and mysterious, floating, blue boxes to aid her. Can she find food and water? Survive the deadly animals? Escape the forest? Learn about the life-altering magic the boxes provide her? She has to use her wits, her knowledge, and maths to do so. But first, baby steps. She doesn't even understand the language, yet. If you see any maths mistakes or strange story decisions, leave a comment and I will either fix it or consider changing it. This is also, essentially, a first draft. That means I will edit older chapters and nothing is final, including numbers. Any major changes are listed in the changelog below each chapter. Since this is a first draft, the start is noticably bad and inconsistent compared to the more recent chapters so you will have to endure that to get to the good stuff. Rewritten version of Ortus (Old Version)

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
