Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice-Chapter 28 Gift for Engagement Party

Enzo, Ethan and Sabrina are sitting on the living room with their laptops on their lap as they type quietly. They are discussing about their business through chatting each other. And since there are no guest room to be occupied, they have to use the living room.

The status on the first Elite Red Room in their country will be a big commotion around the world. Of course, their business is complete on permit from the government and since the founder of Elite Red Room had invested on the country and held funds on the country, the government was of course held them as a special investor.

"The three of you seemed having a meeting." Marga noted as she settled down on the other vacant chair.

"We are playing something online." Enzo said without glancing at Marga.

Ethan stopped for a while. He had to hold back himself from hitting the girl. Sabrina sigh and glance at Ethan's expression. She type on the keyboard and send a message to Enzo.

"Get rid of the bitch." Enzo received the message and wanted to laugh out loud. He look at Sabrina with mischievous grin. She cock her head.

"Marga," Enzo look at Marga. "You give Aria the champagne right?"

Marga's eyes widens and she cross her arms defensively.

"So what if I gave it to her."

"You put drug on it."

"What?!" she almost shout. "What drug?" She denies.

"The—**** drug? Oh, come on. You gave her the champagne."

"I didn't know that there's a **** drug on it. Why won't you ask the staffs of that night? Someone might wanted fuck her."

"Shut up!" Ethan raises her voice and Marga shudders and her mouth wobble a little. "Don't do another stupid thing Marga. I don't care if it was you who did it or not. If I caught you doing something bad to my girlfriend, you'll pay the price." He threatened.

Sabrina smack her forehead and wanted to kick Enzo for being stupid. She didn't mean to mention about the drug because it will make Ethan burst out.

The trio stood at the same time folding their laptops and left. Sabrina kick Enzo at the back of his knee and he fall his knee down and groan in pain.

"Stupid!" She wanted to scream the word at him but she didn't since everyone knows that she's mute.

"Sorry! Okay?" Enzo wails and he stood and walk half limp.

While Ethan went directly to their room. He found her staring at nowhere. Not even sleeping. Her eyes are bloodshot. He sat down beside her and she was startled. She cleared her throat and change her composure.

"Tell me what happened." She smile but he knew that it was all a bluff.

"Nothing happened." She denied and it sound so real. Though Ethan know that there is something bothering her, he didn't push her to talk. His observation skill is always accurate.

"Okay, why aren't you sleeping?"

"I just—I suddenly couldn't sleep but I keep yawning." She yawns and lay down turning her back from him.

He look at her. Something is wrong. He reach her forehead. He sigh and went to the table that he used as his office and open few files and started working. It's alright that she's not talking about it, but he will find it out himself. Someone might trigger her to be that sad and terrified. He can see it in her eyes. To everyone, she's the easiest to read. It felt like he was link to her on odd way.

Just when he's almost finish on his work, he heard her sobbing. He stop and turn to her direction. He immediately stood from his seat and went directly to her. She's crying on her sleep. Yes, it was indeed something serious. Something is bothering her. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

"Hey, baby." He shook her. She gasped and open her eyes. She was startled and surprise to see him. She run her fingers through her hair and immediately wipe her tears. "I'm here." He gather her to his arms and kisses her top head. "Whatever it is, you can tell me."

"It's—nothing just a bad dream."

The music outside started blaring and he guessed that it was Enzo's music and he is pretending to be a DJ. It was time for Ethan to dress up. He remove the empty dextrose from her and run his fingers through her hair after he's done comforting her.

"You sure?" she nodded. "You want to have a bath?"

"Yes please."

"I'll prepare it."

He prepare her bath and after he started putting his tux on. She come out looking fresh, oversize bathrobe wrapped around her body. She strode to him and help him on his tie the way she used to do when she was his personal assistant.

He reach her small face, wrapped his other arm and pull her up until she tiptoe and he bow down his head to kiss her passionately. She just smell so good that makes her aroused. He couldn't take it. He pick her up and carried her to their bed. She moan, swayed by the passionate kiss. He pull the tie of her robe and show a little of her skin.

"Ethan…" The way she utter his name stirs up his emotions.

"Aria…" He was about to proceed but she speak.

"It's your sister's engagement." He push himself from her and he laugh. She look at him confused and she immediately covered her whole body.

"Baby, I don't care if it's Sabrina's engagement party. She doesn't like parties anyway. Besides, you are more important than guests."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" He look at her and he knew what she felt about it.

"It's alright baby. You could rest and lock the door."

At the first she thought, maybe he doesn't want her to be in the engagement or to show her off. But she deserve to be hidden though. She shouldn't be in his world. She's just like a fly to them.

She nodded in agreement and help him with his clothes. He lock the doorknob and closes it. She was still puzzled on why would he lock the door. She ignore it and put some clothes on. She sat down on the bed and turn on the television.

Ethan was an almighty man. She knew it to herself. And she can't have him. Janine's confrontation was true. She's a dirty woman. Would Ethan still love her when he learned about her pasts?

A black BMW Sedan stopped in front of the gate and gave an invitation letter to the guard. The driver drove the car to the driveway and park in it on the corner.

Ignacio stepped out from the car and few people might know him. He's quite famous to elite women. Of course, since he's from military family from lots of generation, he's rich and also, he is a bachelor. Woman would take a lot of initiative to cling into him. But why not Sabrina?

Sabrina was standing out on the crowd and after the host introduce them, people envy them. He went on the front and watch Sabrina look all powerful together with her fiancé.

"I heard that she's mute." Women started gossiping.

Everyone greet them. Then he strode to them with a gift on his hand. It was a small gift.

"Sabrina." He smiled seductively at Sabrina and pull her gently and kisses her cheeks. He glance at Gabriel with a smirk. "You are beautiful as always."

"You must be Sabrina's ex-boyfriend." Gabriel said formally and glance down at her fiancée. She shrugged.

"That's very straight forward Mr. Lawson."

"You aren't giving her a ring for our engagement party, right?" Gabriel smile dangerously.
