Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 15
Advertisement
She looked at the man on the sofa like he was the greatest clown in the world. She ignored him saying it and she started typing on her computer to get access to a few things. He sighed and stood up fixing his clothes and he went to her desk and gave her a velvet box.
She just glanced at it and continued encoding.
"Marry me. Why would you marry that jerk? He doesn't suit you?"
She laughed without a sound and leaned on her swivel chair, looking at him with ridicule. She looked at him like she was saying—"You mean you suit me?"
"I do suit you. Soon, I'll be on my high rank. You can get access to the government and sweetheart, I could give you more than a diamond ring. Let's get back together."
She typed on her keyboard and her words appeared on the monitor in front of him.
"Are you trying to make me deliver that box to my sister?"
"She drugged me, okay? She set me up. I also gave you the drug test about it."
"I am not interested in you anymore." She made mocking sad eyes.
Ignacio leaned on her and reached her chin. His eyes burn for her, gentle and very passionate. He never looked at anyone like he did to her now. He knew that a bastard like Gabriel would never love her.
"Then, are you interested in that rich man?" She only tilted her head. "I never love anyone but you, Sabrina. And if that man can't satisfy you, come to see me anytime."
He strode out of her office and she locked the door and since it's soundproof she started laughing until her stomach ached and tears rolled from her eyes. She didn't stop laughing and look at the beautiful flowers that he brought with him.
"Ohh, Ignacio, what a waste. I am just playing with you back then." She tsk and shook her head. "If you are more powerful than I am then I could just—marry you. But you got a small dick and it won't satisfy me." She sneered and laughed reminiscing the moment she caught him with her sister. She even got the video.

Her phone rings and it was her fiancé, calling her via video call. At least, she's a little satisfied with the man. She cleared her throat and composed herself.
"Do you prefer Singapore for our honeymoon?" he asked. "I have a business on the date of our honeymoon, so would it bother you?" She shook her head and checked her calendar. "Ah, where are you?" She hung up and sent him a message.
"Gang Headquarters." She can hear him laughing though he was away. Just her imagination. Of course, the man wouldn't believe her. He sent an emoji with a kiss.
She just looked at it and leaned on her swivel chair. She sighed with relief. It will only take a few more days before their engagement party. There's a ring in her room and she opens it as her secretary comes with stacks of paper. He put it on the right corner of her table.
"Boss, I have settled your very important schedule in two days. It will be held in Subic." She nodded. "Chenxi Corporation ask permission to meet you." She stopped and leaned on her swivel chair. "The matter is according to Mr. Chenxi's wife—who has been kidnapped in London."
She encoded on her computer and gave them access to fulfill the Red Mission. Since Chenxi Corporation is one of the people that they could use when they are in crisis. She sent her best agents and even a team of people.
"Copy that." Her secretary left.
She received a message from Chenxi and she only typed a letter. K. She took the first folder on her table and she started scanning it all. Her First secretary had highlighted important things. He's the one doing the paperwork. Her Second Secretary was handling each facility and her third secretary is the one who makes up appointments and also the one she brought around and it includes the Alvarez Corporation.
Her third secretary came up and reminded her about the checking of weapons in ten minutes. She finished the last folder and left her office with locks. Only her first secretary has access inside her office and of course, since Ignacio is known by them, they could let him into her office. But she will have to settle it not to let him in without her inside.

Everyone greets her with a salute and she nods her head as they come at ease. Then the Manager started explaining to her about the new guns and tranquilizer that they make. She reached the semi-automatic handgun.
The manager started explaining the centimeters of the bullets and other specs. While she checked it one by one, disseminating and assembling it again, she shot the target with her left hand without even looking at the target. Bulls-eye.
It's powerful and not bad at all. It can also shoot away from the usual semi-automatic handgun like 9mm and 45caliber.
She checked each of them and the tear gas that they are experimenting inside the glass room where the people use masks to check it. Good. She went to the Design Studio and her designer immediately greeted her with cheerfulness.
"Boss, let me introduce to you your latest gown. The gown is perfectly bulletproof and also waterproof. Perfect for the gala you are attending in Singapore. The suits for your bodyguards have the same power."
She nodded and looked at the designs he sketches for her wedding gown and tuxedo for the groom. She's still in the process of making the draft perfect for her wedding. She nodded and secretly admired the pair. The wedding gown and tuxedo are a very perfect match.
"Your gown for your wedding isn't perfect yet. I'll use embroidery for the seams and the veil… don't worry boss, it will be perfect together with the tux." She nodded and her phone alarms. It only meant that she has to leave now.

It's already 18:10 and he is already on the lift of his private elevator. Just two more minutes. When he got out from the main entrance of his building just a few more seconds and it will tick at 18:12. He heard the sound of her motorbike and it stopped in front of him. Perfect. She was indeed not late and not early.
She removed her helmet and the wind blows that perfectly brushes her silky hair. He smiled at his beautiful fiancée wearing her outfit from a while ago with black gloves. She kicked the stand of the bike and walked around to him.
"Hey, beautiful." She smirked and threw her arms on his shoulders, tiptoe to reach his lips. His arms holding her waist to steady her. "We have so much of PDA here, baby." His assistant came up with his helmet and leather jacket. He removed his office coat to his assistant and took the leather jacket.
She drove the boke while he's hugging her from behind and enjoying her sweet scent. She drove it a little reckless and too fast but he trusted her. She's got good reflexes and damn, she's so cool that he had fallen in love with her. Being too close to her while she's driving wasn't bad at all. Next time, he'll drive and she had to wrap her arms around him.
They reach the mansion in twenty minutes. With the bike, they usually have to reach it in thirty-five minutes and with the car probably an hour and thirty minutes.
In the living room is her step-mother drinking wine. While her brother Ethan just arrived in his office suit with a briefcase. He greets her with a kiss and Enzo is running down the staircase with a baby face—almost like crying.
"Sissy!" He hugged her tightly. "I need your help. My girlfriend dumped me."
Ethan stopped from proceeding to his room. That's their signal that something isn't right at all.
"Oh-kay! We will solve your girlfriend issue in ten minutes."
"But—we don't have ten minutes," Enzo said with pouts. Ethan exhaled and dragged Enzo back upstairs.
She faced her fiancée with a cute face. Her eyes looked like pleading and he scoffed and pressed the spot between his brows. He scooped her chin and kissed her lips.
"I'll take a shower." He murmured.
She went upstairs like it was nothing and went to Enzo's room and she locked it. She entered his secret door and glowered at the scene in London. Fuck. This isn't right at all. Enzo contacted Chenxi Lou to give him updates. This Mafia isn't just targeting Chenxi Lou but them.

8 136Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.

This book contains themes concerning life, death, and body functions, light swearing, minimal nakedness, and should be suitable for most. Some pertinent info: Ten Thousand Sallys is a complete novel of approximately 140 pages in 20 chapters. Around 80,000 words. not too long, and maybe too short. Give it a read and let me know your opinion.
