Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 284
Advertisement
Francisco enters the Elite Bar VIP room and glance at Eros sitted at the corner that is busy drinking his wine. He sat down and pull out his phone. He's getting annoyed each day because of Janine. She keeps bugging him about muttering Anastasia's name even in his sleep. But what else can he do? Anastasia is always on his mind, even in his dreams she is present.
But instead of those passionate and kind eyes, she was fierce with tears on her eyes and hatred towards him. What he did to Anastasia was very unforgivable. He just loved her so much, that he desired her and lust after her. He didn't regret raping her… he just made love to her. The thing he regret most was leaving Anastasia there with Janine and his other men.
"What's bugging you?" Eros asked. "You know that I am getting bored each day. I need Catriona as soon as possible. Seeing her with Enzo makes me annoyed. Who wouldn't get annoyed when your lover is with someone else?" Eros complained.
"I don't give a shit about your obsession towards this woman. Just get her and go with your plans. We have lots of things to do. Building back my own laboratory will take years. We also need a good location for our new laboratory." Francisco said. "This Elite Bar… is very interesting." He roams around. The VIP room is luxurious and the designer has a great taste…" He look around and didn't find anything that would ruin their mood. Not even the small cameras placed at every corner of the VIP room. It was intact with the wall with bug that their voice could also be recorded.
"Do you know who owns this?" Eros asked.
A knock on the door interrupts them and the guard by the door peeks.
"Good evening, I have a delivery for our VIP guests." They let the barman enter and he smiled at them in a very professional way. "Good evening gentlemen. You recently become our VIP and because of your loyalty, we offer this wines for your pleasures."

Ferdinand and Eros thank him. It was two different wines and then fruits.
"These wines are our very best. Our President is very grateful for your loyalty in our Bar. Have an Elite night." He bows and left.
Francisco took the wine that is in front of him and to his surprise. It was the wine he bought for his first night with Anastasia. It was Anastasia's favorite wine. Eros took the other one and to his surprise—it was a wine that EPUA drinks when big people are watching their enemies get tortured. Is it a coincidence?
However, he let one of his men drink it and after few moments of observation to ensure nothing happened, they both enjoy the wine till they got drunk.

In the other room was Sabrina watching them all this while. The door opened and Anastasia stood there frozen. She didn't expect Sabrina to be there. Her heart was beating fast. She was eager to go to her daughter and hug her. However, Sabrina stood and walk past her, like she's an unseen ghost. Sabrina stopped before opening the door.
"I will only give you three more days." Sabrina said and left.
Anastasia clenches her dress and bite her lower lip. Her daughter is cold towards her. Her loving daughter that always give her warmth in her heart is now gone. The betrayal makes her heart freeze. She wants to talk to her more. She want to touch her and hug her.
Anastasia reach the wall and hold on it before she falls on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Sabrina." She muttered.

Mark was watching cartoons while his darling is busy sketching something on her notebook canvass. His arms is just behind her leaning on the sofa with his legs widely spread and he's so much relaxed. He has always thought of this moment when a woman—the one he loves would sit beside him watching TV or this is better. He doesn't want to interrupt her because he loves seeing her working with passion, doing the work that makes her happy and free.

He smile and kisses her forehead. She move closer to him and lean on his arms as she continue doing her stuff. It was peaceful and they both love each other's company although they don't talk much. Suddenly, the peacefulness was interrupted with a buzz of the doorbell. He was about to get it but she stopped him. She walk to the monitor and check the person outside.
Two men in black coats. They both look at the camera on her door. She then press the speaker.
"Names." She said.
"Good evening, I'm Renz and this is my comrade Felix. Ma'am, we are here looking for someone, can you possibly help us?"
Mark, lower the volume of the television and was ready for self defense. He walk to her by the monitor with creased brows. It's Lawson's men. Are they looking for him?
She went to the door and open it with the chain still on the door.
"Hello." The two bow their head. "Have you perhaps seen this man?" They show her Mark's handsome photo. Photos of Mark in different angles for other people to identify him. She stare at it and look at them blankly.
"No." She said monotonously. Those men studied her from head to toe and then saw that her hands have charcoal and her left ring finger has a diamond ring on it. Perhaps she's engaged.
"Perhaps do your fiancé know this man?"
"My fiancé can't walk." She said.
"Okay. Thank you very much." She only nodded and close the door.
Mark monitor as the two of them leave with their cars. However, they will surely investigate more on them since they found her really odd. So, their investigation will start tomorrow, asking neighbors and other people. They might ask their new neighbor, although he always greet them with disguise—it will surely be revealed soon.
His phone chimes with a message from Shadow.
"Your flight will be tonight. Enjoy."
He pick up Allison in his arms like a sack of rice on his arms. He walk upstairs and toss her to bed. Allison sigh and was about to drag him down but he push himself up and left her there. She was puzzled. Then he heard the faucet in the bathtub running. He open the cabinet and took big luggage that she needs.
It doesn't contain their clothes but her things that she needs like documents and other phials that they put in a briefcase with a very low temperature. They wouldn't need to check in since they have a pass directly to the plane.
"Darling, we are going back to our home country tonight." He said as he came out from the bathroom striding to her.
"Shadow messaged you?"
"Yes? And those men a while ago were Lawson's men. They are probably going to investigate further and it will only take them few hours to conclude that you know something about the handsome man in the photo they show you."
Allison creased her brows.
"Aeren't you that man?" She asked. Mark grinned.
"You always notice that your darling is handsome." He wrapped his arms around her and snaked his arms around her. The bed that they broke has no legs again. He removed the legs of the bed so it wouldn't matter to them. Allison scoops his face and then caress his growing beards. "Alli, let's get married, as soon as possible."

It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he’s in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won’t take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn’t his first life and if he doesn’t free her from her prison, it won’t be his last. His curse is to be reborn without end, without rest, without memory. Only madness. Now Jack is on the run from forces he doesn’t understand. It’s a new world. The mundane replaced by ethereal artificial intelligence, spontaneous virtual realities, and homicidal bible salesmen. But the creator promises the demon’s voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn’t remember…yet.
