Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 297
Advertisement
Hailey's was a little nervous from the very start of the day she woke up. Everyone still look groggy but she's wide awake. Veronica jumped on the bed of the hotel room that they are in. It was early in the morning when they drove to the resort that Jason owns.
She look at the wedding dress and then to her stomach. There's a little bump, but her dress can conceal it. It wasn't that fit but it still looks glorious to her. Veronica look at her and she whistle.
"That's not bad."
"Thank you." Hailey said a little nervous and she look at the ring that Jason placed on her while she was sleeping. Suddenly, her phone chimes and it was a video from Jason. She played it and her heart melts when he saw Jason taking a video after he woke up and in sleepy voice he said.
"Hey, Hailey. I just missed you in bed. It wasn't a good morning to start but I know that soon enough—I will always wake up with you beside me." He grinned. "I miss that sexy smile of yours."
There are party pooper and it showers on him. Mark and Albert start jumping on bed. Then he turns it off as the video continues in the bathroom.
"Hail, I just missed you in the bathroom." He said. "Do you want to see how I strip, again?" Then he laugh. "I will be with you soon."
Veronica can see how Hailey loved him although the two never said a word about love toeach other. Sabrina was right to match them up.
"So, we got a separate car again. I hate to say this but you suck a little on this. How can I protect you when they are settling us apart?" He complains. "Anyway, I—would see you soon enough. I am counting, now." He even lift his wrist watch.
"Hailey! He's being so dramatic." Mark said and pop his face beside Jason. Then Mark pull his phone and show his face with Allison beside him. Mark even kiss Allison and she laugh. Jason took it out.
"It's alright, my dear. Soon I will make Mark envious of our baby. I'll be with you so soon darling."
She smiled and hold her mouth. She want to avoid crying in happiness. Then she look at Veronica who was watching her all this time. She knows from the very start that Jason wasn't in love with her and doesn't love her but he's just attracted to her for a short time and love her as a colleague and a family.

"I was so right." Veronica said. "Jason was just pretending and saying to himself that he wasn't attracted to you. But look now he get anxious whenever he's far away from you. It's just one night that the two of you didn't slept together but look how he missed you."
"So, you think that he loves me?"
"Would he agree on marrying you if not?"
"It's because I am pregnant." She said.
"It's just an excuse. Come to think of it." Veronica said. "I mean the vows will be in an hour. You should think clearly about his feelings. He was in love with you since then." Veronica winks.
Hailey exhales and the stylist finish up her hair. She exhales again and feel butterflies in her stomach. In just few minutes, she's going to walk in the aisle and take her vow with him.
As time comes, security guards in western soldier's outfit came to pick her up and let her ride on the carriage. The resort wasn't on the beach but in a secluded forest. There are horses, cows and others that they are growing in the resort. The resort is eco-friendly, and they have gardens of different flowers that is sold to the market.
She was once here when her boyfriend cheated, and he brought her here and they drink more and make love night and day. She didn't know where their relationship was heading at that moment, but they remain best friends. She didn't want to expect more so she already set the boundary with each other. But she didn't expect that they will end up here.
"Geez, I wish that this will last longer until we both grow old." She mutter to herself as the carriage was running closer to chapel. Everyone are lined up in the aisle. The best man and the maid of honor.
Her maid of honor isn't Allison but her female best friend from high school. Veronica and Tony are part of the groom's men and maid of honor. But—whatever it is… she doesn't care about that now. What she care about is to take that vow and tell him what she really feel.
She didn't know what else happened, but she was walking in the aisle with her father. As the western soldiers are standing after the door. The music was so romantic and everything looks perfect that she can't wait to be there near to him. She look at him and he is so dazzling in barong. Barong is a national Filipino Clothes and usually wore for traditional wedding.

She exhales and hold on her father's arm.
"Why are you nervous?" He asked.
"Because this shotgun marriage that the two of you plot is making me crazy."
Her father laugh and they continue walking in the aisle and Jason was gaping at her. She smile at him nervously and Mark—his best man nudge him. Jason wakes up from the hypnotism and moved from the three stairs as he bit his lips to avoid smiling sexily. He mano to her father. Mano is taking the elder's hand and bow as he touches the back of the hand to the forehead as a sign of respect.
"Take care of my daughter and if I find out that she isn't spoiled enough, I will surely make your life miserable." He threatened. Jason chuckled and salute to Paul in a very snappy way.
Instead of her to be more nervous. She laugh at the comedy between her father and Jason. They are like real son and father. Jason and Hailey looked into each other's eyes although the see-through veil is covering her head to her waist.
He wants to uncover her and kiss her because he misses her. He took her hand and kisses the back of it. He gently took her hand and lead her to the front of the priest. The ritual goes on until they reach their vows and exchanging of rings. Jason was to say his vow first. He pull out a paper and look at it then look at her.
"Hailey Lawson. I remember that day when we first met. It was in high school lots of things happens until we become best friends. In my heart and in my mind, you are my first love. Although I was friend zoned by you… my heart always belong to you." He put away the blank paper and took her hands. "Hailey, I know that you are always the Princess of your family. You are my princess ever since, but now that I can give you a luxurious life, I will make you my queen. Well anyway, you are always my queen as well—it's just that you are too spoiled by your dad." Everyone laughs at what he said. "Seriously, my dear Hailey—you know that I spoiled you more than your dad does." He winks at her that makes her chuckle as beads of tears rolls into her cheek.
The waterproof make up was a perfect timing for this moment.
"But it doesn't matter at all. I can spoil you every day, every night and every hour. My love for you is unbreakable. My love for you can't be stolen by anything—well except for our baby—I mean give her a little." He winks. She bit her lip and wanted to hug him and cry on his chest. "My love for you can't be deceived by anything. Because, this heart only responds to you. What I want to say is—I love you with all of my heart, back then, now, forever and always."
Hailey sniffle and she cry in happiness.
"Hail, I love you. I had been confessing to you. And now, I am confessing my love with you right in front of you, awake and listening to my every words." Jason's eyes was soft as he look at her. She smile and reach the tissue that was given to her. She wipe away her tears and snots.
"J, Jason Olivarez, the day you rescue me… I know to myself that you are my knight in shining armor. When I am down, you always comforts me with my favorites. When I am happy, you celebrate with me. What can I say? You are perfect in my eyes, weather you are a little play boy or just funny. You are being yourself and you showed me—what it really mean to love.
"This moment, I bow to you, that I will always be your best friend and your companion until we grow old. At this moment, I will say these words in front of everyone as witnesses… Jason Olivarez, you are my earth and lover. I love you because that's what my heart, my soul and my mind says."
They recite the vow and when the priest announced them as husband and wife. He pull up her veil and they kiss passionately and didn't care about anything and anyone.

But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
