Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 28
Advertisement
Enzo, Ethan, and Sabrina are sitting in the living room with their laptops on their lap as they type quietly. They are discussing their business by chatting with each other. And since there is no guest room to be occupied, they have to use the living room.
The status of the first Elite Red Room in their country will be a big commotion around the world. Of course, their business is complete with a permit from the government, and since the founder of the Elite Red Room had invested in the country and held funds on the country, the government-held them as a special investor.
"The three of you seemed to have a meeting," Marga noted as she settled down on the other vacant chair.
"We are playing something online," Enzo said without glancing at Marga.
Ethan stopped for a while. He had to hold back himself from hitting the girl. Sabrina sigh and glanced at Ethan's expression. She typed on the keyboard and send a message to Enzo.
"Get rid of the bitch." Enzo received the message and wanted to laugh out loud. He looked at Sabrina with a mischievous grin. She cock her head.
"Marga," Enzo look at Marga. "You give Aria the champagne right?"
Marga's eyes widen and she crossed her arms defensively.
"So, what if I gave it to her?" She asked smugly.
"You put a drug on it." Enzo insisted.
"What?!" she almost shouted. "What drug?" She denied.
"The—rape drug? Oh, come on. You gave her the champagne."
"I didn't know that there's a rape drug on it. Why won't you ask the staff for that night? Someone might want fuck her."
"Shut up!" Ethan raises her voice and Marga shudders and her mouth wobble a little. "Don't do another stupid thing, Marga. I don't care if it was you who did it or not. If I caught you doing something bad to my girlfriend, you'll pay the price." He threatened.

Sabrina smack her forehead and wanted to kick Enzo for being stupid. She didn't mean to mention the drug because it will make Ethan outburst.
The trio stood at the same time folding their laptops and left. Sabrina kicked Enzo at the back of his knee and he fell his knee down and groan in pain.
"Stupid!" She wanted to scream the word at him but she didn't since everyone knows that she's mute.
"Sorry! Okay?" Enzo wails and he stood and walk half limp.
While Ethan went directly to their room. He found her staring at nowhere. Not even sleeping. Her eyes are bloodshot. He sat down beside her and she was startled. She cleared her throat and change her composure.
"Tell me what happened." She smiled but he knew that it was all a bluff.
"Nothing happened." She denied and it sounded so real. Though Ethan knew that something is bothering her, he didn't push her to talk. His observation skill is always accurate.
"Okay, why aren't you sleeping?"
"I just—I suddenly couldn't sleep but I keep yawning." She yawns and laid down turning her back from him.
He looked at her. Something is wrong. He reached her forehead. He sighed and went to the table that he used as his office and open a few files and started working. It's alright that she's not talking about it, but he will find it out himself. Someone might trigger her to be that sad and terrified. He can see it in her eyes. To everyone, she's the easiest to read. It felt like he was oddly linked to her.
Just when he's almost finished on his work, he heard her sobbing. He stopped and turn to her direction. He immediately stood from his seat and went directly to her. She's crying on her sleep. Yes, it was indeed something serious. Something is bothering her.
"Hey, baby." He shook her. She gasped and open her eyes. She was startled and surprised to see him. She ran her fingers through her hair and immediately wipe her tears. "I'm here." He gathered her to his arms and kisses her top head. "Whatever it is, you can tell me."

"It's—nothing just a bad dream."
The music outside started blaring and he guessed that it was Enzo's music and he is pretending to be a DJ. It was time for Ethan to dress up. He removed the empty dextrose from her and run his fingers through her hair after he's done comforting her.
"You sure?" she nodded. "You want to have a bath?"
"Yes please."
"I'll prepare it."
He prepared her bath and after he started putting his tux on. She came out looking fresh, oversize bathrobe wrapped around her body. She strode to him and help him with his tie the way she used to do when she was his assistant.
He reached her small face, wrapped his other arm, and pull her up until she tiptoed and he bowed down his head to kiss her passionately. She just smelled so good that makes her aroused. He couldn't take it. He picked her up and carried her to their bed. She moans, swayed by the passionate kiss. He pulled the tie of her robe and show a little of her skin.
"Ethan…" The way she uttered his name stirs up his emotions.
"Aria…" He was about to proceed but she speaks.
"It's your sister's engagement." He pushed himself from her and he laughed. She looked at him confused and she immediately covered her whole body.
"Baby, I don't care if it's Sabrina's engagement party. She doesn't like parties anyway. Besides, you are more important than guests."
"Do you want me to accompany you?" He looked at her and he knew what she felt about it.
"It's alright, baby. You could rest and lock the door."
At first, she thought, maybe he doesn't want her to be in the engagement or to show her off. But she deserved to be hidden though. She shouldn't be in his world. She's just like a fly to them.
She nodded in agreement and help him with his clothes. He locked the doorknob and closes it. She was still puzzled about why would he lock the door. She ignored it and put some clothes on. She sat down on the bed and turn on the television.
Ethan is an almighty man. She knew it to herself. And she can't have him. Janine's confrontation was true. She's a dirty woman. Would Ethan still love her when he learned about her pasts?
<><><>
A black BMW sedan stopped in front of the gate and gave an invitation letter to the guard. The driver drove the car to the driveway and park in it on the corner.
Ignacio stepped out from the car and few people might know him. He's quite famous to elite women. Of course, since he's from a military family from lots of generations, he's rich and also, he is a bachelor. Women would take a lot of initiative to cling into him. But why not Sabrina?
Sabrina is standing out on the crowd and after the host introduced them, people envy them. He went on the front and watch Sabrina look all-powerful together with her fiancé.
"I heard that she's mute." Women started gossiping from Gabriel's guests.
Everyone greeted them. Then he strode to them with a gift on his hand. It was a small gift.
"Sabrina." He smiled seductively at Sabrina and pull her gently and kisses her cheeks. He glanced at Gabriel with a smirk. "You are beautiful as always."
"You must be Sabrina's ex-boyfriend," Gabriel said formally and glance down at her fiancée. She shrugged.
"That's very straight forward Mr. Lawson."
"You aren't giving her a ring for our engagement party, right?" Gabriel smile dangerously.
