Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 223
Advertisement
Ethan heard that Enzo prepared dinner. So he took his twins and pregnant wife to Alvarez mansion. But what he didn't expect was Janine to be there so he became extra-careful and since there is a nanny with them, he told her to ensure she keep an eye on the twin.
"Are you okay?" Ethan asked. Aria nods as she hold his hand with Ana on the other arm.
Aria was confident so she kept her chin up like no one could bully her. She won't let anyone bully her ever again. Because if she let someone bully her then people would look down on her kids and husband and she won't allow her children suffer the same way she did.
"Ethan, how are you?" Janine stood and was about to greet him cheeks to cheeks but a body guard came and cover then.
"Sorry, ma'am. Mrs. Alvarez filed a restraining order a year ago." The body guard told.
Janine was taken aback. She thought it wasn't that serious but now she must get back their trust. To get back their trust is a long way ride… but how is she going to get back their trust? How is she going to tell Ferdinand that she's innocent? How?
"So you better stay 200 meters away from her."
Janine's eyes dilated. Marga clenches her fist and glower at Aria. All she could do was pull Janine away. Janine acted like she was a victim. Making that teary eyes.
"I—I'm sorry, Aria. I didn't mean anything."
"Sorry isn't enough." Aria said. Her voice dangerous and that made Ethan baffled. Wow, it didn't just sound dangerous to him but it was sexy. Dangerous is the new sexy now. "Please stay away from me and my kids." She said.

Janine was caught by surprise. There are a lot of surprises waiting for her. She never thought Aria could say such things to her. Then one of the big surprises was Sabrina speaking. Literal speaking.
On the other side, Sabrina was sipping on some yogurt she saw and heard everything. The first time she saw Janine and Marga her blood boils up to her head. She didn't know why she felt that way. Then on one side, is her husband who isn't talking about it. Maybe he doesn't want her to know in order for her not to get hurt.
Sabrina thought. Gabriel told her to stay strong. Gabriel trust her. Whatever it is that Gabriel wanted her to be strong for then she has to.
"Really hungry?" Gabriel asked as he hugged her from behind.
"Hmm."
Aria turn to them and smile at her. She smile back and greet her and the kids. Sabrina took the handsome one but Gabriel took him back from her. She pouted.
"You can't carry one." He said.
"I want to hold him and squeeeezzzz him." She said like she wanted to bite the handsome Kiel who look so handsomely adorable.
"Brina…" Gabriel sigh. "Don't scare the kid, okay?" He pats her head. She pouted and sniffle. "Don't cry." He murmur and pull her closer to shush her.
"Family!" Enzo said and now he is properly dressed. First, he took Catriona and make her sit on the right side of the other edge of the eighteen-seater table. "Let's eat now. Step-mom… I also made some of your favorite." Enzo grins and even pull a chair for her.
Sabrina remain quiet when she heard from Enzo that he's calling Janine a step-mom. The baby feel hungry so she eats and listen. Gabriel observe her. She's good at hiding things. But he knows that her mind is occupied with lots of thought. Ana started crying on their happy dinner. It seemed like a discomfort.

Aria took her from the nanny and went away from the dining room to lessen the noise. She place her on the floor mat that Enzo already settle with barriers and the dogs gather around and wiggle their tail as they saw Ana. Catriona's dogs are such a baby protector.
Ana wasn't afraid that the dogs would bite her. In fact they lick Ana's face and Ana giggle and play with them. The dogs become noisy and wanted to cuddle on them.
"Are you okay love?" he asked.
"Yeah. Tell the nanny to eat first. So she could take care of her. And Kiel?" She asked back after her reply.
"He's with Gabriel—feeding him. That guy is comfortable with Gabby." Ethan hugged her from behind and plant kisses on her neck. She sighs and hug him back. "You sound so sexy a while ago. It makes me horny."
Aria nudge him a little.
"Makes me want to eat you up." He added. "Let's sleep here… it feels homey here I will make sure Janine doesn't slept here. Okay?"
"Hmm." He kisses her temple.
After the dinner they settle in the living room and Janine did left with Marga. Once they are all settled, Sabrina sipped on her tea.
"Now tell me, who is that woman?" Sabrina asked in a fierce voice.

Tony was reading a horror book beside Veronica, she's been transferred back to her Private room. She already gained weight and she's eating little by little with the dextrose connected to her. She gets better each day and Tony is always beside her.
"You know…" She cut him off from reading. "I am getting tired of you reading to me every day and night." She said. Tony closes the book.
"What? I am reading you horror… it should be fun."
"Nerdy… How are you going to feed me and give me a luxurious life when you aren't working?"
Tony laugh out loud.
"Don't get me wrong but I am used to my luxury lifestyle back then."
"Honey, even if I don't work I can still feed you. I don't have an army of assassins like yours but I have something that you can't resist." He said as he wiggle his brows.
Veronica thought of something then she crease her brows haven't found out what it was. Tony stood and pointed at her nose.
"You dummy, you love it when I am naked and you naked as well. Especially when I am down on you."
Veronica's eyes widens and she almost smack him. Tony giggles and start kissing her face. The thing that was injected to her wasn't viral and she's better now. She's just detoxifying.
"When you are well, let's have our honeymoon."
"I don't know…" Veronica pouted. "Are we married?" She asked innocently.
"What's wrong with your little brain? Does it lack memory?" He said with a grumpy face.
"You would give me a luxury honeymoon vacation then?"
Tony exhales. Veronica is teasing him.
"What? You don't have any money?" Veronica asked as she turn back. "Let's get it annulled if you don't have money."
"Wow!" Tony stood. Veronica grin and bit her lips to stop from laughing.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.

My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.
