Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Ethan was watching her clean and organize everything around. He sighed at the sight. He's her perfect housewife. But he didn't want her to get all tired so he pulled her into his lap and relax with her. They still have an hour to leave for Alvarez's mansion for the dinner. Since their step-mother has been planning for their birthday party tomorrow, being a good step-son, he has to show her some face.

"Is it alright with you?" He asked her again.

"Ethan, you are there. Your siblings are there. I am protected too much." He smiled and shoved his face on the crook of her neck.

"Just a few more days and we could leave for Hawaii." He planned on eloping to Hawaii with her. He had everything ready. The ring and other stuff so he could make love to her every day and night. But of course, this plan of him was a secret and even his siblings don't know.

She wrapped her arms around him.

"I am excited."

They both left the condo but never knew someone was watching their every move and calculating their routine. He closed the door to the passenger seat after putting the seat-belt on her then he stopped when he felt that something wasn't right at all.

He walked around the driver seat like everything was normal and drove to the Alvarez mansion safely. He pulled his jeep into the driveway and heard a good sound of a car. He turned around to see his sister showing off another latest car. Probably it was Gabriel's.

His sister got out and jumped on Gabriel's back like she was a permanent back accessory. His koala backpack. He laughed at the adorable sight and wrapped his arm around his girlfriend. Now, everything is almost complete, except for Enzo. But when they got in, he was surprised to see Enzo clinging onto a woman.

"Enzo, you are still into clinging to her?" Ethan asked.

"What? She's too cool." He said and patted Catriona. Poor Catriona, her cool side was being molested by Enzo. Catriona on the code name Catastrophe was his favorite A-Special Agent.

Catriona was surprised to see her boss clinging to her fiancé like a back accessory. Of course, the doting man affectionately let her, like it was normal to both of them. But they never expect to see other visitors as well. Marga's friends who are into her step-brothers are frowning.

They are also part of high-class society and a few of them are bullying Sabrina on the Elite bar. They settled in the dining room and the girls try to get along with Enzo and Ethan's girlfriend but Aria feel uncomfortable and Catriona ignored them and ate like nothing matters as well.

Yet, her mind was observing around and she was alert. After that long sleep a while ago, she regained her energy and her mind is running well. Although Enzo was flirting, she still managed to ignore him. Like she was there for work not flirt.

Sabrina pitied her brother as Catriona kept on ignoring him. She eats a lot but never gets fat since she burns a lot of calories all day. She eats a lot of calories since her work was more physical.

"So, Enzo, you haven't introduced this woman to us." The step-mother said. "She's different from other girls you dated."

"Okay, so first of all, girls that I had sex for a night or two aren't my girlfriends. They are one-night stand and flings. And second, this woman is Catriona and she's my girlfriend from now on."

"So Catriona, what is your work?" Janine asked with a snaky smile. Everyone's attention diverges to Catriona even the two friends of Marga.

"I am an assassin from a high-class MAFIA clan." She said it straight directly to Janine without even blinking like she wasn't lying. It was too convincing and everyone shut up except for Enzo who laughs a little.

"M-Mafia?" Janine asked. Ferdinand is used on that kind of joke from the triplets.

"Yes, it was supposed to be classified but since you asked, I have to answer it… for the future step-mother-in-law."

Sabrina bit her tongue to avoid laughing and Enzo laugh aloud. Catastrophe has a good sense of humor—ironic humor. Too ironic that it might hit Janine's spot.

"Angel, I was just planning about proposing yet you are so advance," Enzo said as he intimately scooped her chin and grazed his thumb on her lip.

Sabrina just enjoyed the show together with Ethan. Catastrophe has a great way of stirring up the atmosphere. She should be here for for most of their dinner meeting with the family.

"But of course, someone has to get married first." Ethan reminds. Sabrina gets it. She's a calculative person but she remained quiet as always. Ethan winks at her and Sabrina shook her head.

"How's the preparation for the wedding?" Janine asked to lighten up the atmosphere.

Gabriel kept brushing her hair with his fingers while relaxing.

"Everything is under control. There's no need to stress out."

"And the gowns?"

"She managed the gowns so, I have no problem with it. The assistant designer will personally take the sizes of bridesmaid and groomsmen, and for the family as well." He said as he took the napkin and wipe her mouth dotingly.

"I don't have to suffer your PDAs but I am still suffering," Enzo said pitifully as he sliced his steak. Ethan grin at his brother.

"You always got a wrong move there, brother."

"What wrong move?" Enzo asked Ethan. Ethan only shrugged as he put another piece of broccoli to Aria's plate since he wanted her to be healthy.

"Who's the designer?" Marga asked getting too curious.

"The designer was Sabrina's designer," Ethan told truthfully and Marga's jaw almost dropped.

Marga remembered that she had her wardrobe with unique designs and there's a name on it which is her name. So, her supposed to be poor sister has her designer. It was also a big slap to her two friends who once bully Sabrina about being poor.

"Did you hire it for her?" Janine asked.

"No. Sabrina has her designer… and he's working for a very long time now," Ethan told. "She has her ways and I am off from it."

"Is it true?" Ferdinand asked. Sabrina shrugged like saying, I don't care whatever you guys say. Ferdinand smiled proudly. "Don't you want to come to the company to manage it?" Sabrina lifted her tablet.

"I am busy messing around." Ferdinand nodded after reading it.

"Since you can live on your own and Gabriel is beside you, I am competent." Their father said and continue eating.

"That's quite… emotional," Enzo said and turn to Catriona. "You are going to sleep here, right?" She glanced at her boss and she didn't respond.

"You mean, you want to have sex?" She asked, and some of them choke up on her bluntness. Ethan laughed out loud. Enzo flushes and covered her mouth.

"Why do you have to say it out loud?" She didn't say a thing then he removes his hand. "Why?"

"Because that's what you wanted." She pointed out. Sabrina chuckled a little that only Gabriel could hear.

She chose the right Agent.
