Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 294
Advertisement
It was hard to believe that Francisco their enemy was Catriona's father and his uncle. He look at Sabrina. Surely, his own sister was that calculative and a control freak. She just made this whole show and that's not it.
She actually led the people who killed her mother to their house. The people who are responsible for their mother's death. He look at the big guy behind Janine. Then his heart broke, he can't imagine what happened. Enzo turn back from them and went to Sabrina's old room. He search around and didn't care what he's breaking until he found the sketch book.
Sabrina was always this good planner and she got a photographic memory. He turn the pages of the sketches. It is breaking him slowly and he stay there by the corner. Now he can see in his head how they tortured their mother. Enzo break things inside as he play the scenario of his mom get raped with lots of males, it's breaking him slowly that he can't take the pain. Enzo start punching the wall and scream in anger.
He can't come out there and start punching the man's face or the big guy's face. He will ruin everything. The door opens and Catriona enters. He wipe his tears and force himself to smile.
"Hey." He stood and stop himself from reaching her.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?" He asked. She closes the door.
"I didn't tell you. This is why I don't want to be with you. Because Francisco is my father and his surname is Alvarez." She said. Enzo was quiet for a while.
"I married my cousin." He mutter and lean on the wall. "But I still love you and I don't care if you are my cousin or we are blood related." He strode to her and scoop her face. "I love you and that is all that matters."
♥♥♥
Francisco look at Sabrina as she stood and strode in front of them.
"Nice to meet you, Uncle." She said sardonically. "I still wonder how you sleep these past few days." Sabrina smirked.
Francisco's eyes widens. Remembering that Anastasia show up. He was so sure that Anastasia was there and nobody knows—but what if Sabrina knows something? Was he just hallucinating all this time.

"That's right. I planned it all." Sabrina mutter. "Do you want to meet the person that ruined your safe house? Or do you want to meet your daughter or your other bastard daughter? I have them all in my hands and I am wanting to say—" She look at Marga and Janine with anxious look. "To never underestimate someone that can't talk."
Gabriel was enjoying the view. Francisco shudders and he hold his fist to control himself. Sabrina looks like Anastasia but she's more likely to be a real Mondragon. He hate Mondragon but his love for Anastasia is different.
"You make my dad marry your whore." She said. Ferdinand hold Sabrina's arm and look straight at Janine. "And it all accords in my plan." Sabrina smile so evil. She even manipulate her own father.
Sabrina knows that her dad love her mother that he can't marry anyone but her. So he settled a fake marriage certificate and a fake wedding just for show. She wanted to be close to Janine and Marga so she could put them down and get more information and it work so well.
No one knows that she's been manipulating them all this time. Gabriel wanted to laugh at his wife's wittiness. How can they be fooled with that innocent look of Sabrina? She's a Mondragon, an Alvarez and now Mrs. Lawson. He can't possibly marry someone not as good as her. She's the only one. And she's his wife. He wasn't wrong when he chose to marry her.
"There are lots of people who want your head now Francisco and as for you Glenn." Sabrina look at him. Glenn's veins are showing on his neck although he look so calm. "I am so sure that you enjoy the hours before you let Janine kill my mother."
Ferdinand was calm and he knows exactly the consequences.
"Leave my house, Francisco. There's nothing for you here. You are no longer an Alvarez and you did dare to bite the people who fed you and care for you. From now on, I won't let you touch my family. I will never let you hurt my family again."

Catriona appear behind them with Enzo holding his hand. Francisco look at her and then divert his direction to other people. Then suddenly Veronica enters the room with happy greetings.
"Bonjour!" She was surprised to see the sudden show and she look at Sabrina. She wanted to laugh out loud. So this is why there's a sudden invitation of the people.
"Oh, daddy!" Veronica greets and Francisco's face darkens. "So surprised to see you here."
"Yes, V. I just met my Uncle personally." Sabrina said. Veronica hold her mouth so shocked although she knew Francisco's relationship to the Alvarez.
"Woah, woah. Does this means that we are actually cousins?" Veronica asked. Sabrina chuckled. Behind them, Enzo and Ethan didn't know what to say or what to do. They are just too baffled on everything that happened. What the fuck is happening?
"Wait!" Veronica hold her up. "Does this means that my sister just married her cousin and have babies with him?"
Francisco frown and face Veronica.
"Sister?" Francisco was confused now.
"Yeah. Your other bastard daughter. The one that Janine auctioned for her virginity. You killed her mother right in front of her too." Then she look at Marga. "No offense, sister. But he might do the same. I mean—he did killed my mom too."
"You are a real bastard, aren't you Francisco? That's why Anastasia would never love you." Ferdinand laugh out loud sarcastically. "Are you happy now that even your daughters hate you? I am so glad that Catriona is here and grew up far away from your bad schemes."
"We are leaving." Francisco turned back from them.
Janine's face was pale. She can't believe that they are being played by Sabrina. Right from the start at her young age. They were all manipulated. She was used by both men at the same time because of Sabrina's game.
"This is confusing me. How can it be good that Catriona is married to Enzo?" Ethan asked.
Ferdinand sigh and tap Sabrina. He knows that his little Princess was no longer a Princess but the Queen of her own empire.
"Life is a paradox." Sabrina said. "Francisco was adopted by Alvarez. In return for Alvarez's kindness—he killed and betray our family. He's a bastard of a gangster that turn him down. Our grandparents loved him as their own son, but how did he repay the people who feed him? He bite them and killed them. Right, Francisco? Who would love you?"
"Enough! That's enough Sabrina! You don't know what I had suffered. I was never loved by them. They treat me like a robot!"
"Even though they treat you like a robot. Shouldn't you be satisfied with it? You know from the very start that they aren't your real parents but they take you and treat you like their son." Sabrina has had enough. She knew well that her grandparents feel so sad after Francisco left.
Ferdinand also know about this. His own mother loved Francisco but Francisco was too stubborn and he never accepted them.
"You've always thought that I stole her from you right?" Ferdinand asked. "Francisco, what you did to my wife is unforgivable even though you are my brother. Now that you prove to me that you are like your own father—you will pay a thousand folds for what you did to my family."
Ferdinand turn back and look at his sons.
"Forgive me, my children. I am never a good father to all of you. And Francisco please see yourself out and never come back here with your filthy family."
Catriona hold Enzo's hand and she caress his fist. He did it again. He hurt himself again. Enzo hugged her tightly and cry on her neck. She should be the one crying.
"Cat, I love you. Okay? Even though you are his blood—I don't care. I love you and its all that matters."
"Catriona is our family… no can change that." Ferdinand said and he left to his room. Now it's time to find his wife and bring her back to their family.

8 323Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)

I am not professionally trained as a writer but I have tried my best to teach myself and make the chapters as clean as possible. I believe I have reached a point where my limited skills cannot improve the work or make any more corrections. It is very difficult to show this work, but if I do not, I fear I will never improve and learn. So here it is. To anyone who lends the time to read all of this and any of my chapters. Thank you.
