Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 26

Ethan was a light sleeper so he immediately checked on her. No fever at all. He gently bent down and kisses her forehead lightly not to wake her up. As soon as he washed his face and brushed his teeth, he opened his laptop to check on his mails and other stuff.
He heard her moaning, so he immediately put away his laptop and strode toward her. She tried to roll or move but she couldn't. He immediately fetched a glass of warm water and straw that the butler ready for her. He pulled her to his arms and made her sipped. She sighed and grabbed his shirt with her slender fingers.
"E-tan…"
"I'm here."
"I feel heavy." She sigh.
"Tell me where it hurts or what else you feel? The doctor is already on her way here."
"I need to pee."
"Okay." He carried her to the bathroom, make her stand, and hold her. She looked at him.
"You can leave me now."
He hesitated but leave immediately leaving the door half open and he waited outside. After a few minutes, she called him in a faint voice and he immediately stormed inside and found her leaning on the wall with a towel on her hand. Her face is wet from washing it and he took the towel and gently dump it on her face.
"What happened?" she clung to him lifelessly.
"You've been drugged."
"I feel like shit today."
"I know what you feel." He carried her back to bed and make her drink a lot of glass of warm water. Seeing her unwell makes his heartache.
"You do?" she asked like a little child. He wrapped his arms around her tightly.
"Mmm. I just wished that I am the one suffering. I don't want to see this again. It's my fault anyway."

"You know, I am still groggy and why would it be your fault."
"Just sleep, girlfriend." She chuckled and let him cuddle her.
After a few moments, Sabrina entered the room with a doctor from her company and a man with her who tail her around.
"Boss." Tequila salute on her and she nodded. She lifted her phone and texted him.
"How's Whiskey?"
"Still unconscious." He texted back. She watched as the doctor check on Ethan's girlfriend. "Boss, are you really going to get married?" He uttered with a pout and sad eyes. She rolled her eyes and lifted her fist to punch him but he hands up. "Woah!" He exhales. "Okay, I got it. I know that I can't win over him."
She gave him a look of ridicule and left. She wanted to visit her personally, but since the engagement will be tonight, she had to wait for a few more days. She waited outside Ethan's room until the doctor is done treating Aria.
Just when the doctor stepped out and face her, she realized that Marga was lingering around and watching them. She had probably watched her interact with Tequila. Yet she cared no less about it.
"Regarding Aria," The doctor utter. "The dosage wasn't that high and she'll be fine in a few more days. I think you still have to contact me if there are any side effects." She nodded and glanced at Aria who is now sleeping on Ethan's arms.
Back then, that girl helped her. And now, she has to pay the kindness that the girl gave. If not for her, she wouldn't be here with her brothers. She wouldn't be with her step-mother and sister whom she detests.
She escorted the doctor outside. Tequila followed the doctor to escort her since she's one of the big assets of her company.

"Brina," they glance at Gabriel, on his running shorts, rubber shoes, and black shirt, full of sweats.
Seeing her fiancé like that makes her gulp. Damn, this man was too much. Not just because he looks oozing hot and sexy, but he looked so yummy. She wanted to jump right into his bones or something.
"Aren't you offering your friends something to eat first?" He faced the doctor and the tall man just on his height. "I'm Gabriel." He extended his hand to the doctor first.
"Mr. Lawson, I'm Samantha Ackerman."
"Miss Ackerman." He acknowledged and he offered his hand to the man.
"Albert No Surname." He said it coolly and still shake hands with Gabriel. Though Albert hated the fact that his number one crush gets engaged, he still has to be casual about it.
"I see."
"There's no need for hospitality Mr. Lawson, we are simply here to check on Miss Aria about her condition." Gabriel nodded.
"Thank you for coming all the way here."
Sabrina tugged his wet shirt and emphasizing something. Samantha's mouth curled into a surprised smile, she left immediately with Tequila.
She carelessly jumped on him and a good thing that he caught her. She wrapped her legs around his hips and that's when they started kissing passionately. He groaned, slowly getting turned on from her aggressiveness.
"Mmm, sweetheart…" he couldn't resist from her though he's getting dizzy from their kiss. "Baby, hmm."
"Sabrina!" Enzo scowls. "Don't you dare harass my brother-in-law! You aren't married yet. Now I am witnessing another harassment from you, Sabrina!" Sabrina pulled her face from Gabriel and glare at Enzo. "What? Be a good girl and stop harassing Gabriel." He said as an old brother would do.
Sabrina pouted in front of Gabriel and he grinned and kisses her cheeks.
"It's alright that Sabrina harassed me," Gabriel said walking inside with Sabrina clung in front of him like a koala. Sabrina showed her tongue to her brother and Enzo exhales like he has been hurt.
He held his chest. So much for the display of affection. Sabrina changed into an adorable future housewife. Where does his super cool dangerous sister go? Gabriel! Bring it back! But anyway, he was happy that someone pampered her sister.
Gabriel took her to their room. She doesn't want to let go so he let her.
"You know that I am full of sweat." He told her. She smiled seductively. "Sabrina, if you insist like that—you know what will happen." She shrugged and kisses his lips. "Let me take a bath." She shook her head. "Come on, be a good girl." She sighed defeated and put her down on the bed. "Sleep, so you would have enough energy to waste later." He went to the wardrobe and pick a nightdress for her. Since she's all wet from his sweat, he helped her change her clothes.
After he's done from the shower, he peeked on her, sleeping peacefully on the bed. He reached his phone, opens the faucet, and call one of his men. He's paying big for this person and he has trust in his findings.
"Investigate what happened to Sabrina when she was kidnapped together with her mother."
"Roger, Major." He hung up and went back to bed to check on her.
He can't be patient and wait for her to tell him what happened back then. She could speak but she was unwilling. He sat beside her and caressed her hair. He glanced at the ring that he bought just for her. She's more than a gem to him. He couldn't bear that someone would bully the future, Mrs. Lawson.

Ps. There are game elements here Disclaimers and warnings: - This story uses clichés. Like, lots of it. - I am not a native English speaker, so my grammar may not be best (It actually is pretty horrible). First 80 or so chapters are a true butchery for eyes and I admit it. Shouldn’t I correct them then? I should. Why am I not doing it? Who knows. Maybe one day I will. - This story is pretty much an experiment. I try different perspectives, different styles, I can make some random Deus-ex-machina if I would consider that I made mistake in the story and decide to change it. - This story is written for pure fun, if you expect some mind-blowing plots and conspiracy of top-level authors – then you will be most likely disappointed. - Easter eggs. Easters eggs everywhere. Every now and then you will be able to spot single events, characters and lines of text that belong in different stories/mangas/movies/books and such. Of course, they do not belong to me but to the owners, though I am not listing them – I am sorry, but if you need to be told from where line comes, we won’t be friends. - And finally. The story is written for you and WITH YOU. If you have any suggestions, events, characters, skills, class… ANYTHING… you wish to see, please – tell me. In best case scenario I would use them, in worse – I would just not implement them, so what do you lose? Guyz I owe my thanks for their contribution: KenChi?
