Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

The Lawson Mansion was in Spanish style. The garden was well maintained and they can have a big party outside. Lawson always kept a low profile but they hold few parties only, for anniversary and birthday parties. 

Then the car stop in front of the staircase and the middle of the driveway was a fountain of a Goddess Venus. He walked around and open the door for her. In front of the entrance of the house, waiting is the Lawson Family and Alvarez Family.

She got out and met his family. His mother Valerie and his father Benedict. There is also his cousin Tony and Uncle Loren on his father's side. While she has her siblings, stepmother, and her father. 

"It is good to see you again," Benedict told her. She smile and nods as well as Valerie who greeted her warmly. 

On the other side, Marga's face turns sour. But she immediately changed her face into a happy sister. They went into the dining room where everything is set. And as a gentleman, Gabriel pulled a chair for her and she sat down gracefully. Since she didn't talk, no one talks to her and would only ask her with the answer of yes and no. 

Marga is like the star during dinner, she bragged about her already working in the company. But she rarely goes there and when she does, she scares the employees. 

On Sabrina's side, Gabriel is putting good dishes on her plate that is almost full. She eats slowly and since she hasn't eaten her lunch because of lots of work, she's surely hungry. 

"After this, let's head to the Elite Bar," Ethan announced. "I booked a reservation on the second floor. Marga's friends and our old friends will be there." 

Marga is pleased with Ethan's announcement. It seems that Ethan is useful for her. Since Ethan is the big brother of the family and he is good to her. Everything will just work out well. 

"That's great," Gabriel said and glance at her. "Do you want to get drunk tonight?" he suddenly asked her. She only shrugged. "It's alright if you want to get drunk, I'll just be beside you." 

She typed on her phone and his phone chimes. He grins. 

Wife: I should be the one to monitor you. 

"I am into you, don't worry my dear." 

"Damn, I don't want to see this side of you!" Tony, Gabriel's first cousin complains. 

Gabriel took her hand and kisses her knuckles, his eyes directly to her beautiful big one. It was expressionless, but her eyes carry a strong charisma to him. 

"Oh, come on! We are eating!" Enzo complains and almost smack Gabriel on the head. "Put down my beloved sister's hand, you ass—" 

"Word!" Ethan shut him. Everyone is laughing. 

"Don't worry brothers, you're likely to see me doing more than that." 

"It seems you are in love with my daughter. At first, I didn't think that you would." Ferdinand smiles seeing how he cares about his daughter. 

"It wasn't that hard to love your daughter." He said with a carefree smile. 

His parents had never seen him like that for a very long time. Even his Uncle Loren cleared his throat. 

"Bro, did you just do that creepy smile?" Tony asked. He smiled lopsidedly. 

"It was just a few months when you last saw her. Then you instantly fall in love?" Ethan asked like he was calculating something. 

"Well, Ethan, since I and your beloved sister are getting married, there should be love between us, right? Even it is one-sided? So, we could work this arranged marriage." 

Suddenly everyone became silent when Sabrina cleared her throat and Gabriel look at her. Is she going to speak? It will be hard for her to speak since she never spoke for a whole ten years. She sipped on water and cleared her throat again. 

"Are you alright?" She took the tablet and write it there. 

"Excuse me. Bathroom?" 

"I'll bring you there," Gabriel said. Ethan and Enzo look at each other and kick each other's foot like two fist-bumping. 

She went to the bathroom. She locked the door and face the mirror. She opened the faucet and open her mouth then slowly close it then massage her jaw. She cleared her throat again. Damn, she hasn't exercised her vocals for three days. She washed her hand dry it and open the door and still found him there. 

"Do you really can't talk anymore?" he asked, curious. She shrugged her shoulders and walk back to the dining hall. 

Everyone remained silent and then they continue eating. Like nothing happened. 

"Cousin-in-law, do you really can't talk anymore?" They all stop. She shook her head. "I know someone who can help you…" She wrote on her table. 

"No need. I'm okay. Thanks." He nods and resumed to his food. 

Gabriel put his hand under the table and place it on her thigh. She bit her lips keeping the urge to make unnecessary noise. She pushes his hand away but he held her thigh and squeeze it gently. She almost bumped her knee on the table. 

She breathed and place her hand on his thigh as well, near his crotch. She caressed it and he was frozen. He pulled out his hand and she succeeded. One point for her and zero points for him. She proceeds on her food and almost finished the food and when he was about to put another for her, she held his wrist tightly and she glowered at him. He smirked. 

"Sorry, I won't ruin your diet again." 

After dinner, they all went to the Elite Bar, except their fathers, mothers, and the uncle. He let her use one of his sports cars kept in the garage in the mansion and she chose the vintage one. Before they left, he made her sit on the front of the car, with her legs spread and wrapped around him and make out with her a little. 

"Sleep in my penthouse tonight?" She shook her head and traces her fingers on his hard bulge. "I'm fine, we can make a quickie here, but, there's a camera watching us." She nipped her lips to his. "Let's go then?" she nodded. 

She drove the car on the way to the Elite bar and park it in the VIP parking lot. She got out and the security bow at them. She nodded and they went to the reserved floor. It was mostly Marga's socialite friends and she creased her brows. She texted Ethan. 

"Was this supposed to be my party or Marga's?" Ethan laughed and oddly kisses her cheek. She already knew what it means. She glanced at Enzo who went to the bar counter. 

She already felt the weird atmosphere around these people who will be present at that moment to make a scandal of her. But even before that a very beautiful song that she used to sing plays in the background and front of her, Gabriel kneel on one knee and lifted a velvet box opening it. 

She was stunned to see the big diamond ring which reflects the lights of the bar and everyone is gasping. She chuckled on her mind and wanted to kick the man right through his big bulge. He sneered at her. Showing off just to slap those who bully her. 

"Sabrina, are you ready to grow old with me? It is now or never." She took her tablet from Ethan and write something. 

"Asshole." He laughed. 

"Baby, I won't search for another pillow. I promise you that." She lifted her left hand. It was her answer and he put her ring there and everyone is cheering them. 

He twirled her around, wrapped his arms around her small waist, and kiss her passionately. She kissed him back just for the show. Lots of people came to congratulate them but she paid no attention to them and just drag him to a seat. 

Marga set her mother's plan. She grinned and even set one VIP room for the people who will pleasure her half-sister.
