Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 27
Advertisement
He was facing the full view mirror, checking his suit to make sure that it's perfect. He pulled out a box from his pocket. Today will be the engagement party of the woman he loved. Although he knew that she never did love him, he is eager to have her no matter what.
"Do you think that you could snatch her away from that tycoon?" The old man in white hair asked.
"Former General, don't pull me down, will you?"
"Lawson isn't simple to deal with. He has his forces and he also managed to invest in military forces outside and inside the country."
Ignacio is stunned hearing it from the old General. Why didn't he know about this? Is it the reason why Sabrina agreed on marrying him? He was done. He had military forces but he wasn't on the highest rank yet.
"Former General Leandro, are you certain about that?" Ignacio is still stunned and thought of Leandro to joke around.
General Leandro scoffs. Of course, he is certain. He was always accurate and forthright. Leandro turned around ready to leave. He was still picturing the girl with a golden spoon on her mouth, trying to fight for her life. The girl doesn't just live in luxury. She's like a chameleon that could camouflage everywhere for survival.
Leandro is young back then when he met the girl's grandfather. One of his best buddies in the army. Being a sharpshooter runs down on their blood though it was the first time that Ezekiel, Sabrina's grandfather, to hold a gun, he had managed to hit the bull's eye. And they enhance in training, Ezekiel is already a black belter in judo, taekwondo and karate, and even aikido.
There's no doubt that Sabrina would surpass her grandfather. And that girl was the one he liked to be his granddaughter-in-law. But shame, someone already had her. He was too disappointed with his grandson.
"Ignacio, forget that you are my grandson." He turned back from Ignacio. He knew that his grandson was head over heels on the woman. He could kiss the floor that she's walking. The bad thing about Ignacio is that he's too high of himself.

"I will have her, grandfather." He said aloud.
"No. You can't." He made up his mind. There's no way that Sabrina would marry Ignacio.

Sweats are dripping from her forehead as she continued practicing her tai chi. She wasn't that good in tai chi but some say that she was. All she knew is that it wasn't good enough and it needed to be enhanced more like she always enhance her aikido, taekwondo, judo, and Kung Fu. All of those was her past time back then.
Shooting doesn't need too much enhancement since she could shoot with a blindfold.
On the other side, Gabriel is watching her from the start. He analyzed her moves and she was fluent. There's no doubt that she had trained for like a decade. But according to his research, she only started taekwondo when she was a child and there's no follow up.
Seeing her skilled in lots of martial arts was too unbelievable. Taekwondo was her start, but how does she manage to learn tai-chi? But not just tai chi. She got multiple talents when it comes to different martial arts. He glanced at his clock and it's been two hours that he's been watching her. He strode outside with a bottle of water.
She stopped and smiled at him. He opened the cap of the water and gave it to her. She started drinking slowly as he wiped her sweats with the fresh towel that he brought with him.
"Show me what you got." He grinned at her. She was stunned and shook her head. "Afraid that you might hurt me?" She nodded. "Baby, it's alright that I get hurt. But I don't like it when you get hurt." She scoffed as she encircled her arms on his waist. "Cool down so you could bath and get ready for later." She nodded dotingly.
Both of them seemed to dote on each other. She was submissive toward him in a good way.
"Do you want me to bath you?" He suddenly suggested then she looked like thinking of the answer then she shrugged as she slowly smirked seductively on him. He chuckled. Never did he laugh in front of everyone. Only toward her and on his trusted friends. "Okay, warm water with bubbles?"

He picked her up and bring her to their room. While he's preparing for her bath, she's typing on her phone and reading updates on her email. She read the reports of the Elite Red Room status. Good, she was pleased with the construction. She was getting ready to backfire those who bully the Elite Bar in Singapore.
Let them have a short glory for a while. She was preparing for their fall down. Soon. The Male Escorts will open in Singapore in her Elite Red Room. She had gathered males around the world that are willing to work as a Male Escort.
"Your tub is ready." He removed her shoes and she put her phone away letting him strip her naked.
Then, he stopped himself from removing the last two pieces. He sighed and admire her beautiful body. He can't do it yet though they do it for a night. He kisses her lips, down to her neck. She closed her eyes getting swayed by the warmth that he's giving.
"Damn it." He pulled away and look at her. She smiled on the vulnerable look on his face. "Go take a bath. Now." She lifted her arms with pouts. He just couldn't help it. He can't get mad at her. He did pick her up and put her down on the bathtub with bubbles.
She removed her bra and threw it then next was her panties. He picked it one by one and put it on the laundry basket. He watched her enjoy the warm bubble bath. She looked at him with adorable pouts. He groaned and left closing the door.
After he left and closes the door she laughed not that loud and shook her head.
"Why are you resisting when we can both please each other?" She mutter. "Gabriel, I'll make you impatient." She was a tease.
In the other room, Ethan is massaging his girlfriend's body gently and in the right pressure so when she woke up, her body would not be stiff. She moaned and opened her eyes. It was just beautiful.
"You hungry?"
"Yeah."
"Sabrina cook some soup for you a while ago. I'll ask someone to heat it."
"Thank you."
Aria is being fed by Ethan. Her whole body feels like it has been hit by a truck. She got a very odd dream that felt so real. Or it must be a memory of something. She was still in dazed from the dream and had immediately forgotten about it.
"Do you want to attend the engagement outside?" She shook her head. "Good. I'll stay with you here."
"No. I am fine. You go and support your sister."
"Okay, I won't take long later." She nodded.
"I'll just sleep more."
"Sleep. I'll just talk to Enzo and Sabrina." He planted a light kiss on her forehead and left.
Just when she was about to lay down, the door open. She thought that it was Ethan but she almost shuddered in fright when it wasn't him. The woman strode fast to her with a smirk.
"Young woman, you came to a wrong family." Janine's scary aura makes her feel anxious. "Ethan doesn't know your past, right? You are a dirty woman and you don't belong here. So, you better stay away from Ethan before I make something that you'll never expect."
After Janine left, tears started rolling down her cheek one by one. She was frozen as those bitter memories flash fast inside her mind. She started shaking as she realized what she was.

Trial of Champions
It all began with a family trip to an amusement park. How were any of us to expect being transported from Earth to participate in some "Trial of Champions," whatever that was supposed to be? Given only an hour to choose the Classes that would come to define our strengths, we were almost immediately torn away from one another and thrust into a deadly game of survival. It wasn't all bad, though, as terrifying as it could be from time to time. The supernatural and magical powers of the Classes were like something out of an RPG, complete with leveling up by killing monsters and completing so-called "Sub-Trials." And despite the juicy Experience to be gained from killing other Champion Contestants, not all of the participants were bloodthirsty murderers; some could be allied with, or even befriended. Even if it seemed like everyone who had been chosen for this Trial, no matter what universe they came from, was at least a little bit crazy. I would survive this till the end, and I'd make sure that my siblings and parents did as well, no matter how many times we were separated from one another. No matter how long it took. No matter what I had to do. --- A first-person litRPG incorporating classes inspired by D&D and other sources. If you like blue boxes but don't need to have huge lists of numbers to scratch your itch, you should be satisfied on that front. Each chapter is, in my word processing document, seven pages long (approximately 3300-3900 words). The Traumatizing Content warning is there because of discussions of certain topics. Nothing that I think deserves the warning actually happens in the story.

Another world? Some weird magic? Sure.
Writing my last novel, I realized that before you start, an ending should be there in your mind. So I wrote this as an atonement to my first novel. This is a typical story about someone who gets stranded in another world with OP powers. But this is not about just the MC, but also some people around him who directly/indirectly had their lives changed. I've written this as a collection of short stories where some may be bigger and more intense than the others. Note: I've finished writing all the chapters, but will upload on my own discretion.
