Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Tony was in front of his computer researching on things he could make as cure for her. Whatever it is. He research a lot more. They only have fourteen days. He fold his computer and stood. He glance at Veronica who open her eyes and look at him.

He feel hurt seeing Veronica in that condition. He wished it was him who was in her condition. He put away his laptop and kiss her forehead.

"Do you need something?"

"Can you make me a pizza?"

"Okay." He kiss her forehead again. He left and went to the kitchen of the facility. He at least know how to make one since he could access the kitchen.

Veronica eyed Tony's phone. There's cure. That's what she thought. Samantha couldn't find the cure for her. Her days are ending. So she has to make sure that Tony wouldn't end up in his penthouse alone and drinking alcohol until he wait for his time. Tony loves her. Loren told her once—if Tony would love someone—he will give his all.

Maybe it's time for him to make up with Vivien. Tony's first love. They could work it out and if not—he would find someone suitable for him. Veronica got up from bed though she couldn't. She immediately feel dizzy as soon as she stood. She walk barefoot to his phone on the side table. She didn't need to drag her IV since it was close to her bed. She reach his phone and open it.

She's familiar with the password. So she immediately enter his password and click the messages. Then she unblock Vivien from his contact and scroll on the conversations. She looked at the date. The date they were making love and Vivien was bugging him.

Vivi: Thinking of you now.

I wonder how special she is to you.

Tony: She's my fiancée and I love her.

Veronica broke into tears seeing his reply from lots of messages that he received from Vivien. Was it a lie back then? Then why did he call her name when they were making love? Veronica wipe her hot tears and receive a lot of messages from Vivien. She said that she still love him.

Vivi: I never stop thinking about you.

Those men weren't even like you.

I love you. Please come back to me.

Are you there?

She didn't hesitate to type a message to Vivien. She type the address and time. Then she told her not to reply. She put it back there and went back to her bed. She wipe her tears as she remember what Tony replied to her. Everything he said in their conversation was how great she was. A woman who make his heart skip a beat.

She turn back and didn't know what to do. But once she made a decision. It's final. Tony has to move on as soon as possible. He doesn't need to stay with her until she dies. He has to continue living his life and move forward.

The door opens and Tony gets in with a box of pizza.

"Hey, sorry. They have no crust there and they lack ingredients. But I bought one for you. It has veggies." Tony look at her swollen eyes. "What's wrong?" He asked like everything are normal.

"Nothing." She smiled and sat up. She can eat any food she want since she's dying. Tony open up the big box of pizza and put hot sauce on her slice. He start feeding her. She sigh in relief as she chew it carefully. "It taste heaven."

"Don't I taste heaven?" He tease. She giggle and nodded. "So get well soon then we can continue tasting each other and I will make sure that you reach more than heaven." He said sexily.

Marga went to the rest house that her mother gave to her. No one knows where its located and Francisco said he purchased it secretly and put it under her name just in case of emergency. She brought in the groceries and the liquors Francisco asked for. Sylvia was wearing her red outfit again fresh from bath and reach the apple.

"How did you escape?"

"We just threaten few of them." Francisco said. "Don't worry sweetheart—I am fine."

"You can barely walk. So what is this with Vanessa Ivanov?" She asked as she pour herself a cold champagne. She glance at Glenn who look intimidating then she sipped on her champagne.

"Vanessa is your half-sister. My daughter from my wife. She betrayed me." He said and drink his scotch.

"Hmm. How about Mom?"

"Don't worry. We will take her out from EPUA. We can get hold of it. Now, I just learnt that Vanessa was the Dark Lord—she's dying anyways so—it's her payment for betraying her own father."

"You—you killed her?"

"No. I didn't. She's dying because she betray me."

Marga massage her forehead.

"Do you have something to do with what happened to Sabrina? She's awake." She said. "She doesn't have any memories I heard."

Francisco glance at Glenn. Glenn did well. It was their plan on ambushing Sabrina and followed her but they haven't killed her yet. He doesn't have the heart to kill Sabrina who look like Anastasia. But maybe it's for their peace. Ezekiel is still searching and he wonder what's taking him so long.

"I have to undergo therapy as soon as possible. Find me a suitable doctor."

"Is that an order? You know that I dislike taking orders." Marga said.

"Please, sweetheart. Do you want your father to be crippled? Your sister did this to me."

"Okay! Tell me just how many bastards do you have?" She asked. She just wanted to know.

"There's actually two of you. Vanessa is my legal daughter. I only need her to get Ivanov's organization yet she betray me. She actually betrayed me."

"And the other one is?"

"Her name is Catherine. I don't know where she is maybe she died of hunger. Don't know."

"Hmm. Do you ever think she would also hunt you down?" Marga asked out of nowhere. Francisco laugh out loud and finish his scotch.

"Catherine has no power to do so. Her mother is just one of my bitches. She dance for me every night."

"And my mother was your mistress." She said. "I don't know what runs in your mind. I gotta go find that doctor of yours."

"Thank you sweetheart." Francisco smiles. Marga just rolled her eyes. Then Francisco drop his sweet smile and frowns. All of his resources are gone but Glenn had manage to hide his golden bars and few of his money.
