Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Painting, reading, cooking, and cleaning are Allison's daily routine when she isn't needed in EPUA Research Facility. She always had a plan to keep tracking her routines while her husband is busy finishing up the crib.

"It's Samantha's wedding tomorrow." She told him when she checked her calendar. He glanced at his sports watch and cursed.

"Let's get ready then."

"Take a bath." She goes back inside while he gathered all the tools, and neatly put it back on the little workshop house at the other side of the lawn.

Mark was taking his bath while Allison is preparing their clothes for tomorrow's event. Since the bathroom door, is joined to their walk-in closet, it was easy for him to see her while dressing up. She's still choosing clothes for both and neatly put it on the Louise Vuitton bag.

He couldn't be any happier seeing Allison around. Was he that selfish? He took her usual living. Sometimes, he would think that she might be regretting on marrying him. He brushed away the thought and hugged her from behind and kissed her shoulders.

"Darling."

"Yes?"

"Are you sure that you don't want to have a big wedding? Our friends are a little upset that we didn't invite them."

"I am fine with everything."

She reached his hand over her stomach and hold it. Allison's anxiety was fading whenever he held her like this. She felt warmth, love, and care. Mark leaned his chin over her shoulder and kisses her cheek softly.

"You smell so good, baby." He kissed her again and again.

"Yeah? You better dress up, we got a long drive."

"Okay. But can we do it fist?" He gently pulled the ribbon of the silk robe that she's wearing as he traces light kisses on her shoulder. "Allison, are you happy being with me?"

She turned to him slightly and reached his cheek.

"I am. I am happy." She slowly turned to him and unclasped her robe. Mark smiled at her, reach her small face, and kissing her passionately.

She removed his towel from his waist and gently climb up to him, her legs wrapped around him. Gently he carried her to bed, kissing every inch of her and when she's ready—he passionately made love to her.

Allison wrapped her arms around him, moaning and moving with him. They become one until they reach their orgasm. She is a little tired from that intense passionate lovemaking. He kissed her forehead and smile at her.

"I'll settle everything while you're taking a nap."

"Don't forget my pillows and blanket."

"Of course. I love you." He kissed her lips. "I'll just wake you up."

Allison had fallen asleep and soon, Mark wakes her up with warm kisses and ready her clothes. They get down to the driveway. Their four-by-four jeep is parked in front and she was too surprised at his efficiency.

Before he woke her, he settled everything so they could leave early.

Inside the car, are pillows for her and blankets. Her seat was extra-soft, just to make sure that she's comfortable. He gave her food and drink. She smiled a little and held his hand.

"Tell me whatever you want. Okay? It will be a long driver."

It was hard for Sabrina as days passed that Janine died too suddenly. She wanted her to suffer until she can't walk anymore. But then—it was quite relieved, so she didn't need to care about her now. However, she can't stop herself from being frustrated. These past few days she's been too emotional. Maybe because she's overthinking things and then lots of problems came up recently including their Elite Red Room.

She exhaled. Someone just-food poison her people. They put something on their drink and she's getting irritated with that someone who poisons her people. Gabriel already conducted an investigation, however, it didn't calm her down. She is still in a rage and Gabriel understood her temper, so he demanded his men to find the culprit as soon as possible.

"Love, don't frown too much." Gabriel weaned and caress her hair. "Do you want to get more wrinkles on your forehead?"

"What?" Sabrina gasped some air and check her face in the mirror. Gabriel chuckled and patted her head.

"Darling, you are stressing again. How can we make babies if you keep frowning?" He grabbed her waist and pull her head to his chest. "You are stressed lately and maybe we need a honeymoon. Away from all people that are stressing you."

"How about, Athena? We can't leave her for long."

"Hmm. She's also stressing you."

"No. She's my baby." She mooed and snuggle on him.

"Let's get ready. It's Sam's wedding and we are needed. It will be a long drive."

Sabrina had thought about it. She didn't want to stress herself anymore. However, what happened to the Elite Red Room was her focus at that moment. But it wasn't that easy whenever Gabriel is around. He kept on monitoring her, from her plans to her food and to her tantrums.

She loved it when he's that possessive and overprotective. Who wouldn't love it? Her husband a good doter. She just loved how he spoiled her.

"Get ready everything." He said. She mooed even more. He patted her head. "Come on baby. I still have to check the car."

"Okay."

While Sabrina is preparing their clothes and mostly Athena's baby stuff, she noticed a box on at the drawer in red velvet cover. She reached it and there's a note on top of it.

"To my dearest wife to be open after twelve hours." She flushes as she glanced at her wristwatch and started counting the time. She put it on her luggage.

She went to the glass counter where his cufflinks, wristwatch, and other accessories are. It was cleanly put over the cotton fabric. She picked the diamond one, gently placing it at the box and put it on his bag.

"Are you done?" Gabriel asked with Athena on his arm.

"Just a few more minutes." She smiled at him then zipped up her Ralph Lauren Leather Luggage bag. She stood and took her jacket. "It's all done."

"Take, Athena." She strode to them and she smiled so sweetly as she took Athena.

They went downstairs and the maid brought an icebox and basket of foods for their travel.

Once their maids and butlers settled their baggage at his four by four Land Rover, 

Sabrina settled Athena at her baby car seat and make sure that her safety belts are all sturdy.

They take off once that they are settled, and Sabrina put her hand over his thigh and smile at him.

"What are you smiling at that?" He asked her. He is still as serious as usual. She pouted at him. "Honey, I am driving."

"You want to make love to me in the middle of the road?" She asked. Gabriel is silent and he cleared his throat.

"What are you talking about?" He glanced at Athena at the back seat.

"Honey, I want a baby boy."

"Hmm." He cleared his throat and hold her hand over his thighs.

"We will work on that." He intertwined his hand with hers, lifting it up to his lips.

"And the gift you gave me?"

"Will be open in twelve hours." He winks. She smiled and leaned on her seat.
