Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Sabrina was humming while cooking breakfast for her husband. She didn't know when she learned to cook this expertly but she feels like she had been cooking for him. Gabriel came out already dressed and she smile as she put the pancake on the plate and décor it within a short time. He smile and kiss her lips.

"Good morning."

He was supposed to take care of her. But feeling her care for him was very heart melting. He sat down and pull her waist closer to him and kisses her big bump.

"This little one is growing fast."

"Yeah, she gets heavy each day. You did feed me well." Sabrina said as she wrapped her arms on his neck and kisses his top head since she's standing beside him. Gabriel couldn't wait for their little one to come out so he could start his plans. His phone chimes and the number came. He just glance at it and then he told her to seat. She did and he feed her. His phone chimes again and Sabrina told him to put it away. He did and they eat peacefully.

He kiss Sabrina goodbye and their little one in her stomach.

"I will be home early." He said. She nodded. He get in his car and check the phone as his driver maneuver and drove out from the villa.

He receive the message from Anastasia. He call her and soon she answer it.

"I will make dinner for Sabrina. Her favorites, does she have any cravings?"

"She eats whatever she wanted. The fridge is full and she would call me if she wants something. Mom, you can make her favorites and since I will go home early I can take it for her."

"I will prepare now."

"Mom, don't make excess. It's bad to have left overs."

"Okay. I won't. Thanks, Gabby for taking care of Brina."

"I love her. Lawson's do anything for the woman they love, mom."

"I got it. I will go on with my plans."

"Don't you plan to see Dad?" Gabriel asked. Anastasia was quiet for a while.

"I—I can't see him. I promise my father."

"Well, maybe it's not time yet. Grandpa will soon realize something."

"Hmm. You are right Gabby. I can't leave dad. I am her daughter and I am responsible for him." She said. I will go now. Dad can't know that I am talking to you."

"Take care mom."

"You too."

He then call his wife and she sounds like she's already missing him. Gabriel always has time for calling her. While she's on the road and before lunch. His adorable wife would act childlike but he loves that about her. It makes him feel younger than his age.

Tony was keeping himself patient as Veronica choose her clothes. Then would change her mind. She's doing it on purpose because he doesn't want to take her to the Pleasure Shop where lots of pleasurable adult toys are. Veronica would tease him until he gets aroused.

"Just buy it all." He said. He glance at his watch.

"Okay." She start choosing and then she stand in front of him. "Look at me." He did look up at her. "So? Am I still beautiful in your eyes?"

"Why do you asked?" He asked. Veronica rolled her eyes. "You don't have to asked. You are the most beautiful woman I ever see." He said as he took her hand. "You must be hungry to have ask such things." He joked with her. She frown and told him to get the clothes she bought.

Tony hold her hand with paper bags on the other one. Veronica wrapped her arm on his strong and muscular biceps and kiss his cheeks. He smile and kiss her forehead back.

"So, what do you want to eat?"

"Let's eat Chinese…" She said. "And go to pleasure shop." She said a little loud. He press his lips to hers to stop her from talking. He couldn't drop the paper bags and she was holding his arm that he can't cover her mouth.

"Stop it. I warn you." He said dangerously. But she grin and was about to say something but he press his lips and bit her lower lip lightly. "Veronica, shut up, okay? I will bring you there."

"Good." She smirk and let go of his arm and told him to hurry up. Tony exhales as he keep up and hold her hand to stop her from walking fast. They went to the Chinese restaurant and then stop seeing Marga—her half-sister talking with one of the director of Alvarez, she smile wide and flirt. Wow, just how did Janine train her to be a mistress or to sell herself? But Marga seemed to be flawless with it.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

She shook her head and they went to the Chinese Restaurant and meet another unexpected person. Ignacio Magno. He's been out of the picture but now he appear with a woman clinging onto him in front of them is Elder Magno. She knows well how the Old General Leandro protect Sabrina back then.

"Seems like few people had gathered here." She said. Just one more person and she would faint. They settle down and order foods.

Their foods came and when she's about to eat, she saw someone in her peripheral vision and found Alanis with his two body guards and the host escorted them to the VIP. Veronica put down her chopsticks with a sound. Then Tony notice her.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know what's suddenly wrong in this Restaurant. I feel like there's a bomb here and we are gathered her to get assassinated."

Tony's eyes widens and then he look around.

"We should go." He said.

"No. I didn't mean that there's a bomb here. It's just…" She pointed Ignacio and then Alanis. "Sabrina's ex-lovers are here." Then Tony look at the stylish Alanis.

"Oh…"

"I wonder what Alanis is doing here in the Philippines." f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

"Don't worry. Let's just eat and ignore them. You don't have an ex so stop minding other's exes."

Veronica frown and kick him under the table. He hissed and she ate gracefully like nothing happened.
