Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

214 The Proposal

Sabrina rode with him with a car tailing them from behind. Gabby was drop off in his office building and as she look up—she saw, it was a big and beautiful building. He gave her a kiss on the lips—just a smack and told her not to tire herself. She nodded and went to the big mall. She roam around and bought whatever she likes and stayed for an hour in the bookstore just to choose books she wanted to read.

Then she smell the famishing Japanese food and eat there. Suddenly, she thought of Veronica. The woman who seems to be dying. Maybe she like some Japanese food. They said she was her friend. She never really had a friend.

She took out different dishes and then told them to go to EPUA. She walk and everyone who pass by her salutes her. She only nod and went to Veronica's room, she saw her watching something on the laptop. Veronica look up at her.

"Hi." She greets and the sick woman fold the laptop. "Were you watching porn that's why you fold it?" she asked and put the food on the table. Veronica laugh.

"I never thought you could be this talkative, Sabrina." She said.

"I bought food—and I think—I need to know everything. Since Gabby said that you are my best friend—then you should know everything. I have to know what happened. Why I got married and why I only remember that I am still fourteen years old."

"That's your age before your mom died." She said. She put away the laptop. Sabrina settled the food.

"You have to eat. You look thin." Sabrina said.

"Hmm."

"Where's Tony?" She asked as she looked around.

"He's with the woman he is going to marry. I have to let him go so he could live his life."

Sabrina felt how sad and hurt she was with what she did. What she did was unselfish love. Yet she's still wearing the engagement ring on her left finger. Sabrina gave her the box and the chopstick.

She was now calm and the issue that her mom is already dead makes her accept the reality.

"Tony told me because of the trauma—you didn't remember what happened. You block those memories because it was painful for you to accept the truth. The only way for you to remember it is to accept it. You need Gabriel. He's the only man that you could trust." She said and eat a little. "Hmm. I love Japanese. Good thing that the doctors told me that I can eat anything except few toxic foods."

"Then, eat more." She said. "So Gabby, is my truthful husband?"

"Yes. He would never look at other women. Gabriel looked like his world crashes when he found out that you got ambushed."

"Ambushed?" She asked with creased brow. "How did she get ambushed?"

"No one knows since there are lots of people who want you dead as well. But you save Catriona and your nephews." She told.

Sabrina was speechless but what she heard from Veronica means that she could kill a person. Gabby said that she was her A-Special agent like a real agent—CIA or MI16 or something—then she owns EPUA.

"Did I kill someone before?" Sabrina asked. Veronica didn't say anything at all at first.

"Killing bad guys was natural in our work. We are trained to do this, Sabrina. You train me to be strong and here I am… still alive yet dying."

"I'm sorry." Sabrina said and lower her head. "It's my fault that it happened to you then."

"It's not your fault. If not for you—I wouldn't survive this long. My own father wanted me dead because I betrayed him. My mission is to get him and give him to you."

"Why?" She asked her. Veronica didn't know if she have to answer her. Sabrina has been hurt for years and what she witnessed hurt her more.

"I'm so sorry Sabrina. But you've been hurt. That's why you program your own mind to erase all of your dark memories and that includes your recent memories. It's okay if you don't remember it all. Gabriel would take revenge for you. I also don't want you to get hurt again. Maybe—if you are strong enough and ready to face the facts—you will eventually remember it all."

It sound so depressing that she didn't remember what happened. She was curious and her curiosity killed her. What Gabriel did to her in the morning was like the best thing she had. She has the brain of her 14 year old self and she was na?ve. If she's in her puberty stage and she had met Gabriel would they do it—the sex-thing? Maybe—she would do it with him. They would be both na?ve and innocent. Gabriel dotes on her and she felt like he will continue spoiling her.

After a chat with Veronica, she left when a man named Mark A.K.A Brandy came, greets her and hug her. She only patted him and then left. She was too exhausted as the maid settle the things she bought. She also bought a tie for him. She saw that it has a very impeccable style perfect for him so she bought it with one of her cards which has her name on it.

She sigh and took a long warm shower and lay on the bed. She turn to the photo on the beside-table and look at the wedding photo of her and him. She look so beautiful there and happy. He was too. He was kissing her cheek and then the other one was them looking at each other lovingly.

"Gabby, what kind of husband were you?"

Enzo was watching Catriona as she feed their eldest since the two who follow Elijah are now sleeping. He smile and love the view. Catriona is beautiful as always and though she gain weight which he love—she is still the apple of his eye. He crawl to her, reach her dress, pull the collar on the other side and kisses her globes.

"Enzo." Catriona weans. Enzo suck it and look up at her. She bit her lower lip. "I am going to fucking kill you." She mutter.

"I love you." He kiss her forehead and suck her nipples again and her milk exploded in his mouth. He corner her mouth and kiss her passionately.

"Hmm." He lay close to her and kiss her temple. "I'm sorry that I didn't protect your sister."

"It's no one's fault."

"Sabrina—I think its okay that she didn't remember anything at all. But I want to know what happened."

"It's better you focus on our babies and I'll worry about that. It's my job after all." She said.

"Your job is to take care of our babies and feed them. I will take care of you and our babies and make sure that you are all protected."

Enzo took Elijah and put him on the crib as he focus the camera on them. Then he get back to the King bed and cuddle on her. He caress her beautiful curve and keep on kissing her after which both of them fall asleep.

Enzo woke up in the middle of the night and found Catriona holding the big dog stuff toy that he bought for her and on her hand was the heart shape big locket on the dog's collar. She's holding the key pendant that she always wore. He smile and he knew that she had found out already.

Catriona was trying to open the folded letter and she felt a ring on it.

"Enzo…" She mutter.

Enzo strode to her and kneel in front of her. He hold her hand. The stuff toy has been with her and the ring has been hidden on the locket of the dog's collar.

"Cat…"

"Please read it for me." Enzo reach the paper on her hand.
