Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 24

She staggered toward the bathroom and felt 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 looked up and saw double. The man was tall and his face is blurry but he got blonde hair. She immediately flinched and move away but the man grabbed her waist before she fell.
"I—I'm fine." She still moved away and she was dragged but another hand.
She suddenly stopped resisting when she smell Ethan's scent. She looked up at him and he frowns looking down into her eyes. Her eyes are dilated.
"Ethan…" she muttered seductively. Ethan picked her up and she's shaking. "Why do I feel burning up?" He groaned in pain. He's aroused and his girlfriend is drugged.
He picked her up. He walked passed everyone and went directly to the guestroom. He lay her down on the bed, remove his shirt and pants. She puffs some air and closed her eyes.
"Ethan…" she calls out while he head on the bathroom to prepare cold water on the bathtub. He immediately fetched a glass of cold water and made her finish it. "I don't feel well." She looked like a lost puppy at that moment.
"I know." He picked 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 called out Sabrina after he put his pajamas and ask for help. She came before he knew it.
"We don't have something that would fight the rape 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 opened 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 reached her face. "What did you drink?"

"Just a glass of champagne."
"From whom?"
"Uhm, your sister." He frowned and looked 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 punched the wall. He looked at his sister as she lifted the tablet.
"Calm down. Let her have a small taste of victory. It's not that big victory for her anyway."
It takes hours until he coaxed her to sleep. He had 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 is 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 sighed with her eyes rolling and reads it.
You'll pay on what you did.
It was simple but it sends shivers all over her body. Marga could feel the blood lust cold gaze of Sabrina. She clenches the paper and Sabrina walked off but as Marga shakily looked at her back, she couldn't contemplate herself at that moment. She leaned on the corridor and clenches her fist until her fingers dug on her palms.
She has never been afraid of 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 threatens me!" She cried like a god 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 caressed 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 glared at the wall thinking about the girl that Ethan took to this kind of party. The girl was familiar and she better run 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 finds a suitable woman for Ethan to marry. From an elite family and in 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 about why Sabrina acted like she doesn'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 looked up to admire the stars above. He sighs, folding his laptop. It was too dark on his location so no one would probably see him.
He thought that someone who came out was just some random person but to his luckiness, it was Janine and she pulled out her phone dialing someone as she glanced around. She didn't notice him there.
"Gustavo, I'm going to give you something to do. I got a feeling that we've encountered 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 hung up and walked 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 opened his laptop and did some work so he could find her future sister in law's background. A message popped up and he clicked to open Sabrina's message.
"I think I know what you are doing." He typed on his laptop.
"You got it right. Are you familiar with Aria?"
"Very much." He whistled and relaxes a little. He got long paperwork to do.
Gabriel is sitting on the edge of the bed while Sabrina is sitting on the couch with her laptop doing whatever she was doing. She looked so serious and her reading glasses look 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 in 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 typed on her laptop keyboard and a message pop up on his phone. He opened it and glanced 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 looked so cute and adorable and at the same time, her actions and words make him melt. He strode to her and she looked up and let him kiss her lips.
"Good night then." He stared at her eyes one for a few seconds and kissed 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.
