Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 19
Advertisement
Early in the morning, he woke up just to make phone calls and run on his treadmill. He arranged two bodyguards for her. Just to make sure of her safety. He also went to the kitchen to cook something for their dinner. Though he's a tycoon and known as a busy man—he taught himself how to cook when he's in college.
She walked toward him still groggy and have messy hair. It seemed like she waked up from the wrong bed. He gave her warm water and she sipped on it.
"What's wrong?" He walked around the counter and hugged her from behind. "Something bothering you?" she shook her head. "Alright, where are you going today? I have bodyguards for you." She put down the mug and open her mouth a little with a frown. "For your safety."
She exhales and rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms. She is saying that she doesn't need one and she hated it.
"Come on. I am too busy on other stuff and just to make sure that you are okay, you need to be accompanied by two bodyguards wherever you go."
She took her phone from the counter and type something. Then she faced it to him.
"I'll arrange for my bodyguards."
He thought about it for a while and look into her eyes. She made kitty eyes. It just melted his heart and he couldn't take the seduction. She pouted.
"Okay." Just like that, the deal is closed and she won. He picked up his phone and canceled the bodyguards. "I'll see these bodyguards of yours." She nodded.
She started texting on her phone and they started eating. He watched her eat for a while.
They are ready to leave the house and there's a doorbell outside. He strode toward the door while fixing his handcuffs. He opened it and found two bulky men in a black suit and black shades. They pull out their IDs to show that they are professional bodyguards.

They are both familiar. Like he had seen one of them before. He remembered, one was the one who brought clothes to his penthouse for her. He both take note of their names and then he glanced at her.
"You're leaving?" He asked and she nodded. She's wearing denim jeans and a leather jacket. "Take care." He kisses her forehead and let her leave.
He called his assistant to investigate two names.
While driving pass by on the land that he is targeting. It was under construction for like days and he never expected that the process was fast. He was stubborn and he has to know who the owner of the new land that he's been targeting.
When he reached his office, his efficient secretary came up with photos. He had access to the people that he's searching for. He picked two photos and gave them to him.
"Sir, just for your information, these two people are closed to Miss. The one is Jason Olivares," the man on the photo with bad boy look hair and attitude. "He's from armed forces for 3 years and he resigned. He's always on the Elite bar, I think he's part of the VIP member. Then, Mark Aguilar, he's also a VIP customer in Elite Bar."
"Search for their backgrounds for me. I wanted to know them. Every dirt on them."
"Yes, sir."
He went out to a Japanese restaurant where he will meet the owner of the building that he's planning to buy. Since the company building is in bankruptcy, it was a big opportunity for him to expand his business. And this company building will be a gift for her.
"Mr. Chua." He shook hands with him.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Lawson."
He pulled his slacks a little and sat down with cross legs. He picked the tea and the man seemed to get himself drunk.

"I build that for my wife. I promise her to grow our empire. But since my wife died and my son betray me… it is better to give it away. Tell me, Mr. Lawson, why do you interest this building?'
"That was a very heartbreaking story of yours, Mr. Chua. I wanted to buy that building for my future wife."
"I had heard that you are engaged."
"Yes, in fact, I can't wait for us to get married. I have to secure her future."
Mr. Chua didn't say a thing and he continued drinking. He signed his assistant to get the contract and he signed it without second thoughts. His assistant gave it to him and he read the papers carefully and sign it.
He will arrange his lawyers to transfer it to her name. He can build a designing company. He had thoughts on how to spoil her. As soon as he's done with his lunch with Mr. Chua, he arrived in his office to find her secretary outside waiting for him.
"Sir, Miss Alvarez is inside?" He nodded and opened the door finding her on the sofa flipping through business magazines.
"Sweetheart." He hugged her from behind. "Have you eaten your lunch?" she nodded her head. He kisses her top head and gave her an envelope.
She pulls out the thick paper and flipped it. She looked up at him with a question.
"It is my gift before our wedding. I want to know your plans for the building so I could settle it."
She bit her lower lip and she smacked her lips to him. He giggles.
"Anything for my future wife." She pulled out her phone.
"You have time?"
"Why?"
"Let's date." He grinned and bit his lip slowly.
"I'll cancel everything this afternoon."
The usual date was walking hand in hand and do shopping around. They bought one of the expensive ice creams and eat while walking. She scooped some ice cream and pointed it to him. He took it to his mouth and hum on the favorite flavor that she's eating.
"Do you wanna go camping?" She nodded furiously and it seemed like she gets so excited.
"The day after tomorrow, after our engagement party, I'll bring you to the most serene place where we could be alone together." She typed on her phone and showed it to him.
"You are good at flirting." He chuckled and bring her to one of her favorite restaurants. He ordered one of her favorite dinners.
"Sabrina," she looked up at him. "I wanted to hear your voice." She put down her spoon and fork staring at him like she was caught up. "I know that you can speak, and I don't know the reasons why you never speak again. But I promise you this, Sabrina. Once that I promise, I'll never break it. I will protect you and be faithful to you."
She didn't say anything at all and she reached his hand with her left hand. She's wearing the engagement ring and it looked so perfect on her hand. He kisses her knuckles. His phone chimes and it takes a few seconds before he checked it. He kept holding her hand and answer the call of his secretary.
"Lots of things are interesting towards the two."
"Okay." He hung up and peeked on her eyes.
