Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Catriona felt cold and soft blanket over her. And the mattress she's lying down on was silk. Although its soft on skin, it isn't cozy like their bed. The smell was flowery, but she was searching for the smell of their own bed. Scent of Enzo and the triplets. She missed them already although its being just 5 hours since she was kidnapped. 

She still has her own clothes. She sat up and felt an arm wrapped around her. She shudders from the coldness and she pushed him. 

"Fuck off, Eros." 

She turned back from him and pushes the covers as she slid off the bed searching around. She doesn't care where she would stay but not in bed with him. 

"You really thought that you can leave me?" He asked sardonically. He strode to her topless and grabbed her small waist from behind, pressing himself at her back. 

Catriona feel disgusted just feeling his touch and the man was so aroused as he tried to tear her dress. But the dress that she's wearing is sturdy. 

"Fuck!" He scream and pull her up tossing her to the bed. Catriona roll around and although she bump on the table, she still move to the very corner and hugged herself for defense. "Come on Catriona. It was easy for you to give yourself to Enzo. Now it's my turn." 

Catriona's eyes darken although she can't see. She was ready for this.

Enzo came home excitedly but when he got there, there are securities around investigating. They salute him and he nodded. 

"What happened?" he asked as he walked inside calling Catriona. But he didn't respond. The butler came up and before he said anything there are howls of dogs upstairs, so he got there and went to the dogs' room. It was locked. 

"Get the key!" He calls out. He opens the door and all the dogs are there. Did Catriona lock them here? They wiggle their tails and it seemed like they can't stop themselves from being hyper and in panic. They run outside and search around sniffling and the Rottweiler started sniffing around and they search around the house. 

He searched around for Catriona and his triplets but there's no sign. So, he call the Ivanov Mansion and soon the maid answered. He was relieved that his triplets are there and safe. But where's Catriona?

So he went to his room, to their walk-in closet. He turned the mirror that hides a secret passage and he enter his code. As soon as he's inside his working room, he sat down in front of the monitor and reviewed the hidden cameras installed around. He creased his brows when Catriona deliberately set up a trap on the dogs so she could lock them in their room. That was after he left.

She then feed the triplets first and then take a bath as Veronica came to pick up the triplets. They talk a little just saying small things because they know that he had bugs set up around the house. After Veronica left, in fifteen minutes, the guard by the gate fell unconscious and Eros came. 

Enzo gripped on the mouse as it breaks since it's only made of plastic. Eros did took his wife and he inhale and call Sabrina.

"Yes?" 

"Locate my wife, now!" He demanded from her. Sabrina scoff. 

"Don't you tell me what to do. You are the Centaur aren't you the one who should locate her?" 

Enzo doesn't have time to argue and become sarcastic with Sabrina, so he said something bad to her. 

"You are so selfish, Sabrina. If I lost my wife, my sons' mother, forget that we are siblings." 

Sabrina fall silent but she is good at concealing her emotions. 

"Okay, then. If that's what you want." Enzo hang up and do everything as he hack every CCTVs in the City where the possible routes of car went. 

Enzo get frustrated as he kept searching and searching, he did everything but still—he can't find the same plate number at all. 

"I am going to fucking kill you, Eros." He muttered. 

He can't imagine what would happen if he lose her. Maybe his whole world would become drought and he might be alive but already dead inside. He wipe his tears and stood. It's time to gather all his connections.

Hearing those words from her own brother hurts her. But it's okay. It's part of the plan anyway. She didn't make a move to save Catriona. However, Veronica is already on standby monitoring Catriona. Catriona must control Eros, so she won't get raped. 

"Are you okay?" Shadow asked her as he sat down on the swivel chair in front of her. "Don't look so distress, boss." He added. Sabrina scoff and watch as Enzo gather his people to track down Catriona. Then she receive a call from General. 

"Yeah, give him whatever he needed." She said as general confirm her orders. 

"Are you so sure that this will work?" 

"Of course." Sabrina smiled at Shadow. "Don't you trust me?" She asked him. Shadow slump on his seat with a big exhales. 

"I am so tired of this, Sabrina. You know I've got multiple jobs—and please don't forget that I get tired of acting." 

"You are a great actor." She winks. 

"Great actor my ass! I will surely break your bones but if it wasn't because of your husband—I will surely beat you up." 

"You can't beat me up." Sabrina told him. "You can't even compete with my marksman. Remember that…" 

"Okay!" Shadow remove his coat and toss it away. "I am so tired of being decent." He murmur. 

"What? You are earning a lot of money not just from EPUA but in a big company." 

"I just want to be on my own island, go slack of and drink and read and hop to another island to see girls in bikini." He murmur. 

"I can give you that. It's because you did a great job for contacting my Agents." She said as she sipped on the orange juice. Shadow just gave her a tired face. 

"I will resign. Soon enough and enjoy my island." He stood. 

"One more thing." She said. "Prepare a conference meeting for all doctors in six hours." 

"Noted…" He groaned. "Am I always going to be an assistant, secretary or your slave?" 

"Come, bro. Just do it." She toss the tablet to him and he caught it. 

Sabrina exhales as Shadow left the room. Her phone rings and she answer it immediately because it's her hubby. 

"Yes, darling?" 

"I already sent people to search for Catriona." 

"Yeah, I know that. Just let Catriona have her own revenge first before the torture. We are still getting few information." She smirk. 

"Sabrina, go home now. Athena want your milk not the one in a bottle." Gabriel said a little irritated. "This little brat, I was supposed to have it and this little one is quite choosy." Sabrina laugh and hang up.

Catriona let Eros attack her and she pull her dress reaching the syringe and as he kiss her neck sucking her skin, he reach her chest and squeeze her globes. Catriona stabbed the needle on his back and press it. Eros stopped as he look at her and slap her face hard.

Although it sting, she wrapped her legs around him and roll over him. She hold his neck with her right hand and punch his nose hard with her left fist. He stopped fighting with her as she automatic handcuffs and gather his wrist pushing his body until he face the mattress. She connect the cuffs at the back then use her feet and hand to reach the door. She pull another string under her dress, lock it and wrapped it around the door knob. 

Using her hand and other senses, she reach a table and block it on the door. 

Catriona exhales as she strode to bed and reach him. She drag his body up on the headboard and didn't care if his head hit the wooden headboard. 

She took the recorder and turn it on. 

"Now, tell me. Where's Francisco's other resources?"
