Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

198 The Sleeping Queen

Veronica was watching as Francisco got beaten up badly. She still couldn't face Sabrina at the moment. She is not waking up. She doesn't have the heart to see her in that condition. When she learn that Sabrina is in coma—she nearly break down and if it wasn't for Tony—she would've killed Francisco.

"Let's go home." Tony took her from the EPUA facility and brought her home. He kiss her lips. "She will be fine. Okay?"

"She has to wake up. We are nearly done."

"Don't you want to see her?" He asked. Veronica shook her head. Why did this happen?

"No."

"Okay." Tony would always be there for her despite being busy in the company.

Catriona was walking in the garden of EPUA with her pets running around. Enzo was there and Versace. When Enzo brought Versace, he run to her and immediately kiss her and lick her face. He can't even separate with her and admire her swollen stomach.

"Cat, after you give birth let's get married."

"We can't get married." She said sharply. "You can have all the babies in your name. I won't take them from you but at least—let me care for them for a while."

"What are you talking about? They are our babies. Catriona don't you dare think of leaving me again."

"Enzo, did you ever think your grandfather would accept me?"

"I don't care about that." He kiss her temple. She lifted her hand to reach his face. He lead her hand to his cheek and she touch it lightly trying to recognize him in her head.

"You are ugly." Enzo laugh and look into Catriona's eyes. It was blank. The color of her eyes are still the same but it was blank. She was blind and that Eros that he's hunting down is still on the run.

"How can you say that? If you say I am ugly then our babies would be ugly as well."

She caress her thumb on his lips. Enzo kisses her thumb feeling sad seeing her depressed state. He kiss her lips passionately and she responded quickly.

"Enzo."

"Hmm?"

"Didn't you find any suitable wife for you?"

"I already found one." He kiss her nose. "Don't worry, okay? I found my future wife and she's pregnant with my babies."

"You fuck me while I was drunk without using condom!" She smack him. He winced and rubbed his chest.

"No—well yes… but that's because one of the condom we used broke and so I thought that it's now or never… then it was a jackpot. We are having triplets!"

"Fuck you!" She smack him again. Enzo giggles, lick her earlobe and kisses it.

"I would willingly do that. But because Sam warn me not to—I have to hold myself."

"You really wanted me to get pregnant?" Catriona said as she pinch his cheek.

"Ouch! Of course I do. I have been practicing how to change diapers, make milk and play with babies—did you know that I am a certified nanny of the twins?"

Catriona lean on him and let him dote on her. Enzo kisses her neck.

"Cat, I have been dreaming of you pregnant… bad and good… you know that it means that I can't let you go anymore."

"Would you fight for me?"

"I will always.

"I am blind Enzo. I am not a suitable wife for you."

"Oh, for fuck's sake. Can we not do this all over again?" He is getting annoyed because of her irrationality. He doesn't know what she's thinking. She didn't say anything at all. "I am going to take you home." He said.

Tequila came with the 12 seater van and settled the dogs at the backseat. Tequila became their driver and Enzo notice the earring aid that he's wearing.

"What happened?" Enzo asked.

"What?"

"To your ears?"

"Explosion." He said. Enzo frowns and hold Catriona tightly. "I don't want to crash in with you guys. I have to clean up Cat's villa and will be with Sam so after I drop you off… I am out and you can all be lovey dovey." He said cheerily.

"Albert, I think Sabrina knows who wanted to kill Cat." He said. Sabrina wouldn't call at that moment if she haven't learn that they are going to kill Catriona the same day.

"Sabrina is in coma." Albert said and glance at Catriona who sat straight.

"Can I visit her? I want to visit her." She hold Enzo's arm.

"Okay. Can we take a peek on my sister?"

Albert drove to the facility that Gabriel made for her. It was like a small rest house but fully equip. Catriona walk slowly toward Sabrina's bed as Enzo lead her. Gabriel was sitting in front of his desk inside the wide room.

"Sabrina…" Catriona reach her hand. It was warm and she hold it longer. "Wake up. Veronica has Francisco. This is what our mission is. Wake up and start torturing him. I don't know why you don't want to wake up… but whatever you know whatever you don't want to us to know—it doesn't matter at this moment. You can't be like this. Lots of people are counting on you."

Gabriel was listening with a document in his hand. He never wish to leave his wife though he's working. There are nights that he would just work and work and sometimes, he would sleep on the space close to her and hold her hand. He would talk to her and talk to his baby. He was trying to be strong and Sabrina has to be strong too.

Catriona and Enzo left. She was quiet and Enzo hold her. Enzo also feel distress though Catriona was with him. Its never complete if Sabrina is in a bad situation plus, she's also pregnant. Gabriel is falling slowly. Sabrina has to wake up. She has to do her duties and she has to tell them what she knows.

They arrive in the Alvarez Mansion and Marga was in the living room drinking wine. She feel bad for Sabrina. Ferdinand has also been outside and the house was quiet. But not until the dogs started barking and running around. Marga stand up on the sofa as the dogs barks at her and wanted to play at her. She scream and run off upstairs but few of them followed her.

"Hey, they just want to play." Enzo said. "And greet your sister in law!"

Catriona winced hearing it from Enzo. The truth was she will never be her sister in law—because they are half sisters.

"Dad!" Enzo calls.

"Hey!" Ferdinand came out and his eyes widens. "Catriona!" Ferdinand greet her in fatherly way. "Good you are back and you are glorious."

"You mean fat." Catriona blurted. Ferdinand chuckled.

"Anastasia would say the same."

"Well, your son didn't use condom while I was drunk. This is the outcome." Both Ferdinand and Enzo laugh out loud.

"Sweetheart, triplets are blessings. Look at how my triplets grew." Then he suddenly turn sad thinking about the Princess of Alvarez. "I will go and see my Princess." He tap Enzo and left.
