Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

26 Sleep, Girlfriend

Ethan was a light sleeper so he immediately check on her. No fever at all. He gently bent down and kisses her forehead lightly not to wake her up. As soon as he wash his face and brush his teeth, he open his laptop to check on his mails and other stuffs.

He heard her moaning, so he immediately put away his laptop and strode toward her. She try to roll or move but she couldn\'t. He immediately fetch a glass of warm water and a straw that the butler ready for her. He pull her to his arms and make her sipped. She sigh and grab his shirt with her slender fingers.

"E-tan…"

"I\'m here."

"I feel heavy." She sigh.

"Tell me where it hurts or what else you feel? The doctor is already on her way here."

"I need to pee."

"Okay." He carried her to the bathroom, make her stand and hold her. She look at him.

"You can leave me now."

He hesitated but leave immediately leaving the door half open and he waited outside. After few minutes, she call him in faint voice and he immediately stormed inside and found her leaning on the wall with a towel on her hand. Her face is wet from washing it and he took the towel and gently dump it on her face.

"What happened?" she clung to him lifelessly.

"You\'ve been drugged."

"I feel like shit today."

"I know what you feel." He carried her back to bed and make her drink a lot of glass of warm water. Seeing her unwell makes his heartache.

"You do?" she asked like a little child. He wrapped his arms around her tightly.

"Mmm. I just wished that I am the one suffering than you. It\'s my fault anyway."

"You know, I am still groggy and why would it be your fault."

"Just sleep, girlfriend." She chuckled and let him cuddle her.

After a few moments, Sabrina enter the room with a doctor from her company and a man with her who tail her around.

"Boss." Tequila salute on her and she nodded. She lifted her phone and texted him.

"How\'s Whiskey?"

"Still unconscious." He text back. She watch as the doctor check on Ethan\'s girlfriend. "Boss, are you really going to get married?" He utter with pout and sad eyes. She rolled her eyes and lifted her fist to punch him but he hands up. "Woah!" He exhales. "Okay, I got it. I know that I can\'t win over him."

She gave him a look of ridicule and left. She wanted to visit her person but since the engagement will be tonight, she have to wait for few more days. She waited outside Ethan\'s room until the doctor is done treating Aria.

Just when the doctor stepped out and face her, she realize that Marga was lingering around and watching them. She had probably watched her interact with Tequila. Yet she care no less about it.

"Regarding to Aria," The doctor utter. "The dosage wasn\'t that high and she\'ll be fine in few more days. I think you still have to contact me if there are any side effects." She nodded and glanced at Aria who is now sleeping on Ethan\'s arms.

Back then, that girl help her. And now, she have to pay the kindness that the girl gave. If not for her, she wouldn\'t be here with her brothers. She wouldn\'t be with her step-mother and sister whom she detest.

She escorted the doctor outside. Tequila follow up with the doctor to escort her since she\'s one of the big assets of her company.

"Brina," they glance at Gabriel, on his running shorts, rubber shoes and black shirt, full of sweats.

Seeing her fiancé like that makes her gulp. Damn, this man was too much. Not just he look oozing hot and sexy, but he look so yummy. She wanted to jumped right into his bones or something.

"Aren\'t you offering your friends something to eat first?" He face the doctor and the tall man just on his height. "I\'m Gabriel." He extend his hand to the doctor first.

"Mr. Lawson, I\'m Samantha Ike."

"Miss Ike." He acknowledge and he offer his hand to the man.

"Albert No Surname." He said it coolly and still shake hands with Gabriel. Though Albert hated the fact that his number one crush get engaged, he still have to be casual about it.

"I see."

"There\'s no need for hospitality Mr. Lawson, we are simply here to check on Miss Aria about her condition." Gabriel nodded.

"Thank you for coming all the way here."

Sabrina tug his wet shirt and emphasizing something. Samantha\'s mouth curl into surprised smile leave immediately with Tequila.

She carelessly jump on him and good thing that he caught her. She wrapped her legs around his hips and that\'s when they started kissing passionately. He groan, slowly getting turned on from her aggressiveness.

"Mmm, sweetheart…" he couldn\'t resist from her though he\'s getting dizzy from their kiss. "Baby, hmm."

"Sabrina!" Enzo scowls. "Don\'t you dare harass my brother in law! You aren\'t married yet. Now I am witnessing another harassment from you, Sabrina!" Sabrina pull her face from Gabriel and glare at Enzo. "What? Be a good girl and stop harassing Gabriel." He said like an old brother would do.

Sabrina pouted in front of Gabriel and he grin and kisses her cheeks.

"It\'s alright that Sabrina harass me." Gabriel said walking inside with Sabrina clung in front of him like koala. Sabrina show her tongue to her brother and Enzo exhales like he has been hurt.

He hold his chest. So much for the display of affection. Sabrina changed into an adorable future housewife. Where\'s his super cool dangerous sister? Gabriel! Bring it back! But anyway, he was happy that someone pampered her sister.

Gabriel took her to their room. She doesn\'t want to let go so he let her.

"You know that I am full of sweat." He told her. She smile seductively. "Sabrina, if you insist like that—you know what will happen." She shrugged and kisses his lips. "Let me take a bath." She shook her head. "Come on, be a good girl." She sigh, defeated and he put her down on the bed. "Sleep, so you would have enough energy to waste later." He went to the wardrobe and pick a night dress for her. Since she\'s all wet from his sweat, he help her change her clothes.

After he\'s done from shower, he peek on her, sleeping peacefully on bed. He reach his phone, open the faucet and call his person. He\'s paying big for this person and he has trust on his findings.

"Investigate on what happened to Sabrina when she was kidnapped together with her mother."

"Roger, Major." He hang up and went back to bed to check on her.

He can\'t be patient and wait for her to tell him what happened back them. She could speak but she was unwilling. He sit beside her and caress her hair. He glance at the ring that he bought just for her. She\'s more than a gem to him. He couldn\'t bare that someone would bully the future Mrs. Lawson.
