Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 6

"Are you even serious about her? Maybe after you marry her, you'll fool around and—" Enzo started.
"That's not gonna happen. Your sister can keep me in bed every night. I assure you that. How much would you bet on it?" Gabriel's lip curls up.
"4 million," Enzo said without a second thought.
"6 million for me then." Gabriel.
"4 million and the latest Jaguar." Enzo.
"Deal." He grinned at him.
"How long are we going to bet?" Enzo frown and thought about it.
"Lifetime." He winks and Enzo only groans.
"Forget it. I can buy one for myself."
"You are unemployed," Gabby stated. Enzo grinned.
"Who said that I am unemployed? I am working on my passion and that doesn't mean that I am unemployed." Gabby shrugged.
"If you say so." The clock was ticking until the maid came out.
"Miss is awake but unable to leave the bed." The maid said. Gabby immediately enter and went to the bed where she is still lying sideways eyes closed.
"Hey, sweetheart." She tirelessly opened her eyes and stared at him. He chuckled. "You can still glare at me even though you are lifeless." He teased her and kisses her forehead. She looked at Enzo and Enzo interpreted.
"He suggested staying here in the house to take care of you. Since he said you guys are going to get married anyway." She glare. "Hey! I have nothing to do with this, okay? Just gather your strength so we can kick some ass." She blinks and then tries to move.
"Do you want anything?" Gabriel asked caressing her soft hair. "How about porridge or spicy chicken soup and ginger tea?" he asked gently like he had known her for long. She couldn't move so she forced herself to slowly turn back from him. "Okay. Ignore me, I'll be stubborn as you."
Enzo exhaled and said that his goodbye. Gabriel kept caressing her hair and he suddenly slipped on the duvet and hugged her from behind to warm her. She didn't complain or anything. She's sleeping again. He closed his eyes to sleep and did fall asleep quickly even though she's hot.

Enzo went back to his room with the snacks that were prepared for the guest. But he frowned when he found out that he's sleeping while hugging his sister. He was about to wake him up but he was totally knocked out. He looked at his sister who is already sweating. He took a towel and wipe the sweats from her forehead.
"You stupid man!" he hissed at the sleeping Gabriel who looked so serene. He took a picture of Gabriel sleeping with his beloved sister and send it to Ethan.
Your friend is taking advantage of our sick sister. Let's peel him alive when you got here.
He woke up Gabriel for dinner but he murmured that he won't eat and stay like that and sleep. Poor man, he just knew from his assistant that he has insomnia. Someone sleeping like that had insomnia? Is he kidding him? Anyway, let the tired man sleep and in a few hours, Ethan will arrive soon.
He slept on the sofa to make sure that his sister is safe until the door open and Ethan in his dark aura glower at Gabriel who is hugging his sister. Has it been 17 hours since he last called? Did he use a chopper to get here fast from the airport?
"He has the gut to sleep beside my sister, didn't he?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah?" They move onto the Queen bed and squeeze in between Gabriel and Sabrina and pretend to sleep while Ethan was on the other side and Enzo was behind Gabriel and the two are in the middle. It didn't wake Gabriel up until a phone rang, he opened his eyes and saw Ethan leaning on the headboard with crossed arms.
"What the—" he sat up and glance at Enzo behind him. "Why do you have to squeeze yourself in? She's sick—Ethan?"
"Yeah, I am here so you can now leave."
He glanced at the clock. Damn, one in the morning. He looked at his wet shirt and pushes the duvet. She's sweating now.
"You aren't married to my sister, now get out so we can ask the maid to change her clothes."

Gabriel obeyed. So, he had slept more than five hours and maybe he might sleep more than that when she's near. He's been craving for a good sleep and just a while ago he had a good sleep. He changed his shirt all wet even his shorts. He put on his PJs and went back to her bed.
It looked like she had woken up and she hugged Ethan intimately. Ethan hugged her tightly and Enzo squeezed in from behind.
"Ohh! Don't forget about me who took care of you!" Enzo squeal.
Never in his life has he seen triplets who are closed like this. They shared something that people don't understand like they have telepathy on each other. He never felt stirred by emotion but he was just seeing the siblings hugged each other. Without words, actions spoke how much they felt for each other. Siblings unconditional love.
He closes the door and went back to his room. Instead of sleeping, he worked on something so that he could finish half of his work for tomorrow. He glanced at the clock. He's been working for like 2 hours and it is already three in the morning.
He glance at the door when he heard someone knock and he saw Ethan with a tray in his hand. He put it on the side table and sat down on the sofa in front of him.
"You didn't eat your dinner and I am being nice to bring one to you." He scoffed.
"So, do you persuade your sister to marry me?" Gabriel asked.
"I don't have to persuade her. She probably wouldn't want to marry you." Ethan looked at him sternly. "Why do you want to marry my sister?"
Why did he really want to marry her? At first, he didn't care when his parents told him that he has to go on a blind date and had arranged a meeting in the house of Alvarez. Since his mother was nagging endlessly, he took on the bothersome schedule that his mother had managed to insert despite his busy schedule.
It was fate like his mother was cupid at that time and he was able to locate the woman he's been searching for months. At that moment, he fell in love at first sight and he knew that she's the one he's going to marry not anyone else. She was like an empress at that moment, reading a book while sipping on tea.
When her sister revealed that she's mute, it didn't even turn him off. In fact, it makes him more interested in her. It will make him eager for her to speak and hear her voice. From the files that he had in his hand, she sang beautifully and has an angelic voice. He wondered if her voice that she didn't want to let the world hear was a little hoarse… but sexy.
"You know my one night stand in New York, right?" Ethan bounced his head. "She's the one that I've been looking for." Ethan was stoned for a while and stare at him… too surprised. Ethan laughed out loud.
"Oh, damn. My sister really threatened me with having sex with anyone when we fought." He held his stomach. "I was just surprised that it was you."
"So, she threatened you with fucking anyone in the city?" Gabby frowned.
"Yes. Just because of some reason that we only sibling understand." Ethan said. Gabby shrugged.
"I like how the three of you interact. It somehow makes me amused. Not your usual self, Ethan."
"My sister and my brother is my only treasure in this world and how dare you take my sister from me." Ethan sneer. He smiled lopsidedly, one of his evil grins.
"Sorry, brother. But this is settled. Don't worry, I'll take care of her and spoil her more than you do and give her everything she wants."
"She can have whatever she want Gabriel. Simple advice, my sister isn't the one you should mess with." Ethan said it like a warning. It makes him more curious than nervous. He liked challenges. "My sister can buy anything expensive in this world. I hope you know that."
"Noted." Still, he'll spoil her.
