Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 30
Advertisement
Aria is packing their clothes while Ethan is busy on his computer after he ate his breakfast. She packed it neatly like she had OCD. She always likes things that are in order. It started when she was twelve years old.
"What do you want to wear today?"
"I can wear anything, darling." He said without glancing at her.
She knows what his likes and dislikes are and would forever remember it. He had once saved her from rapists and now, she is his girlfriend. She stopped what she's doing with the remainder of her dirty past. She tried to cover her body remembering those bad things.
On the other side, she didn't know that Ethan is watching her over his computer. Something did happen and he couldn't ignore it. She ran to the bathroom locked it and sat down on the corner.
She closed her eyes and hear voices in her head.
"Come, it's just a game…" Her mother said. "Here's what you are going to do." She showed the camera in front of the monitor. "Do whatever the man on the computer told you. Then we could go anywhere you wanted." Her mother promised.
Tears roll down her face, her whole body shivered as she remembers. She's shaking right now because she knew that those things she did were wrong. She sold her body at a young age. Why did she do it?
"Aria." Ethan knocks on the door. She didn't respond. "Aria." He calls calmly.
She exhales and took time to comfort herself. But it took too long and Ethan got anxious as time pass by. He had called the butler for the key to the bathroom. She didn't hear it so she remained sitting there trying to calm herself.
Too late, Ethan opened the door and found her in that awkward situation. She bit her lower lip and shove her face on her knees. He knelt in front of her, he reached her pinky finger gently. They stayed like that for a while and then he speaks.
"Aria, I am here. Talk to me." He said slowly and gently full of worry. She rose her head. She smiled nervously and shook her head.
"N-nothing. It's nothing. Nothing." She stutters. He only looked at her with a worried face and didn't say a thing. "I am fine."
"Then why did you lock yourself here?" He talked to her as gently as if he was talking to a baby. "Do you want us to leave right now?" she lifted her face and look at him vulnerably. "Tell me. You can tell me anything. I am your half now. Remember that."

She bit her lower lip to control her tears but it still rolls down her cheeks. Drops of her tears are in perfect form, he never saw someone who could still tear beautifully yet it was heartbreaking. He wiped her tears.
"Why are you so good to me, Ethan?"
"Because I am into you. That only means that I want you and no one else. You can even call it love." He lovingly caresses her soft hair. "I don't know how much pain you are feeling but it pains me seeing you like this." As he confessed those words, his heartache so much like it was crumpled and drained until to the last drop of his blood.
Suddenly, she didn't know what to say. Her cold body felt the warmth from his words and through his touch. Is her love enough for him? What about her past? She is shivering remembering it again. He pulled her into his arms and she sighed in relief from the warmth that he's giving.
"I don't know what to do." She started sobbing.
"Shhh, we can do something about that. There's always a solution, my doll. Let's get ready so we could leave. Okay?" She nodded obediently. "I settled a condo for us. Near our workplace, so I could take care of you."
"I wanted to take care of you." She wiped her tears and sniff her snots. A handsome smile draws on his lips as he kissed the top of her head.

Enzo hadn't been sleeping for the whole night because the woman was like a rabbit that can't stop from doing it. But he's fine. It's been a while since he last got laid. They finished 5 packets of condoms that he's been reserving. The woman named Ashley is in the shower and he's checking his phone. It's 7 am and she insists on leaving.
He is scrolling on the news when the group message notification pop, it was sent by their Big Boss. He opened it and he was grinning when he heard loud moaning and then screaming. The woman was screaming his name and he was dumbfounded.
"Sh*t!" His sister deliberately sent it to the group message of their company. "You are going to pay for this, Sabrina!" He started calling his sister but he couldn't reach her. It's either she turned off her phone or there's no signal on her location.
He went to his closet to put some clothes on. He helped the woman pick up her things and when they got out, he met Ethan's eyes. He grins and waves at him.

"Your brother is hot, next time let's play with him as well," Ashley said while biting her lip. Then she frowns on the woman that Ethan is helping with their bags. He took all of the bags from Aria's hand.
"Sorry, my brother is not into a threesome," Enzo said shrugging. "I'll tell someone to drive you home." The woman can't say anything at all. Compare to the two, Ethan holds the company and Enzo is just a black sheep. She slept with a wrong brother.
Ashley couldn't help but feel like seducing Ethan. Ethan is powerful. Enzo is just a brother. When Ashely got into the car she couldn't help but asked as she watched Ethan dotingly open the door of the sports car for his girlfriend.
"Is that your brother's girlfriend?" Enzo already hints at what she meant.
"Yes. The one and only."
"When can we meet again?" Ashley asked with a dazzling smile.
"I'll call when I am not busy."
"What are you busy about?" Enzo grinned slyly and closes the car door.
Enzo wasn't just a black sheep. He is the founder of a website that everyone knows. Yet he remained a low profile and only let the CEO of the site to face the media. He earns tons from it and he just manages to be her sister's hacker or so.
When he entered the house to ready his things and leave, he heard the mistress of the family muttering on her phone, just on the corner of the hallway.
"Why are you still calling?! Didn't you get the money? Don't make me laugh. You know that I can kill you."
He shook his head; the bad thing is that he didn't have his recorder. He sighs defeated and entered his room. But Janine noticed him so she creased his brows. Did he hear what she fully said a while ago? She suddenly shuddered. Anyway, she has her ways to dispatch Enzo once he knows something that he shouldn't.
But she never knew that Enzo and his siblings already know every single dirt that she made.

Enzo is driving his car back to their mansion. He finally located where his sister is. He is always defeated when it comes to her sister. But his sister loves him, and he knew it. Only her sister could protect him.
He was singing "I believe I can fly" when suddenly someone was thrown on his car that hit the window shield.
"Ohhh fuuuu*ck!" he hit the brake and groan on the neck pain.
The person that flew on his window shield roll on the ground and stood. The person pulled out the gun and pointed it on a certain person wearing a black bodysuit, big and well built.
"Why, why, why?" he asked himself and ready his gun if ever. He checked his bulletproof window shield and there's a little scratch on it. Then he stares at the body of the person that can still stand after getting hit. The way she pointed the gun was expert and since it's a high way that was rarely used during this hour, there's no witness beside him.
The person didn't even blink and fire the gun three times. It wasn't a real bullet but a tranquilizer. He met the person's eyes that is directly looking at him through the car was tinted. Striding toward the side, he immediately noticed the logo—the one he created for A Special Spy. He rolled down the window shield.
"Hey, you alright?" That's the first thing he asked. It seemed the person frown a little behind the mask. "I mean; you aren't injured after hitting my car. Did the big guy throw you? But anyway, carry on… it's your mission so I won't interrupt." He babbles.
"What do you know?" Ohh, it's the voice of a woman. He was stunned and grin slowly.
"Sweetheart, don't you recognize your boss?" She didn't speak and hasn't recognized him yet. He groans. "Yeah, I am not that popular but my sister." He said a little disappointed. "Where are you going to take that man by the way?"
She didn't say a thing and reach the dashcam of his car swiftly.
"Woah! Hey!" She kept it and drag the man's body away from the highway toward the downhill. "She's weird. Spies on A Special Spy is weird." He utters to himself and drove away.
