Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

170 Ferdinand\'s Pain

Sabrina drove her bike fast like she was in the race and soon, there are lots of car so she slowed down and glance at the side mirror. They lost them a little but she hear the sound of their bikes. She move faster and uses other routes. She already send messages to her agents and few are just nearby.

Soon enough, in a wide road, two cars gathered and three riders. They are wearing EPUAs suit and she stop her motorbike. They took the man.

"We will bring you home." General said. The one that Sabrina trusted—the commander of the EPUA.

"Wait!" Fernando said struggling from them as he look at Sabrina. She rode on her motorbike.

Sound of gun echoes and they all duck down. General cover Sabrina and few men cover Ferdinand and take her to the car. Sabrina took the gun from General and started shooting their hands as their guns flew away. Her aura gets stronger and more dangerous. General saw how fierce Sabrina was.

So instead of stopping her, he helped her. Sabrina attacked each men after she run swiftly and started breaking their necks. She was grabbed as well by two men but she\'s strong and she was fast as she uses her tai chi and break their boners.

She uses her fingers to kill them on their necks and they started choking and Sabrina wasn\'t merciful. Soon, their clean up came and they drag the bodies. She will send it to Francisco with a friendly message.

She drove away. She didn\'t want to go home directly to Gabriel because he will notice that she\'s been into a fight. But her phone kept ringing and it was Gabby. So she have no choice but to go home to him. She took a shower when she found him sleeping on the sofa sitting and leaning on it. Then she sneakily change her clothes but he was already standing on the walk in closet.

"What happened? I got a call from your dad. He wanted us home. ASAP."

She already knew what is going to happen. So she call Enzo to confirm if Marga was there and he said she travelled out. So they did go there and found Francisco in his study drinking his brandy. He was calm as he sipped it. Sabrina stood in front of him and Ferdinand look at her from head to toe.

"You were there a while ago." He stated. Sabrina look around to see that there is still the portrait of their mother. Her father and mother\'s painting on their wedding. "You own those men?" He asked her. She didn\'t speak. "You kill those men?" He look at Gabriel. "Did you send those men?" Gabriel was puzzled. "I want to speak with my daughter for a while." Gabriel left the room and waited outside.

Sabrina walk to the sofa and sat there as she cross her arms.

"Tell me, did you own those men?" Sabrina was muted as she was but Ferdinand became impatient and he throw the glass that he\'s holding on the wall and it shattered. "When did you learn to kill someone?!" He scream at her. "Tell me now, Sabrina!"

Sabrina\'s heart was racing. In anger and because of the pain that she\'s been holding. She wanted to tell him all of it. She wanted to tell him that his second wife the mistress killed their mom, his real wife. She wanted to tell him that Francisco raped his wife in front of her.

She grit her teeth to avoid talking or else he will kill himself.

"Please tell me now! Why are they trying to take me?" Ferdinand grab his hair. "It\'s my fault." He mutter. Then something ring on his head. "Are you a part of that organization named EPUA?" He asked with a little shaky voice . He was in fear that she was part of it and she will be in a great danger. Then Ezekiel came into his mind. "No…" He shook his head. "Did your grandfather make you part of it?!"

Francisco\'s whole body was shaking in fear. He doesn\'t fear EPUA. He fear that he might lost her as well. Then he remember how Ezekiel doted on Ana and Sabrina. He will do everything to avenge Ana. He washes his face with his palm.

"I\'m sorry for not protecting you and your mom. But you have to tell me now what you know."

"If I tell you, you are going to kill yourself." She said. It\'s the first time that she speak. Her voice was dangerous and powerful. She try to hold herself from telling him. "Do you really want to know? Can you hold it when you learn what happened?" she ask him. "You will be disgusted with yourself once you learn it." She\'s speaking in riddles.

All what she want is to tell him what happened. So he will avenge her mother himself.

"Daddy, if I tell you everything you will wish that I never tell it to you." Tears started streaming down her cheek as she said those words. Her voice remain calm and powerful though she was crying.

Ferdinand saw how broken her eyes was. It breaks his heart and he hold his face and started crying.

"I\'m so sorry for not protecting you." He cries harder and throw the vase. He calm himself and approach his daughter and hug her protectively. "It\'s all my fault princess."

"You keep regretting it, but we can never bring back mom." She pushes him away and she left the room. Gabriel was outside and when she open the door, a big strong arms wrapped around her. He carried her out from the mansion and took her home. She was crying all the way home and he didn\'t leave her until their driver drove them away.

His wife had suffered. She\'s still holding it all and he is there to take all of her pain if he could. But if the pain could only be transferred to him so she wouldn\'t get hurt, ever again. How can he take all of her pain?

Gabriel carried her to their room as he let her lay on his chest and cry there. She never cry like this before. Now, he wanted her to cry to her hearts content so it will comfort her body and mind. Gabriel caress her hair until she fall asleep.

Ferdinand was lying on the carpet staring in front of the painting of his wife. He painted it himself. He was so much in love to her. If he hadn\'t betrayed her this wouldn\'t happen. They would be a perfect family. But he didn\'t even remember fucking Janine back then—he was drugged by the woman and manipulated by her. He let her manipulate him until it destroyed his family.

His eyes was blood shot and raging. He thought of Janine it started because of her. He reach the bottle of whiskey and the door opens. Enzo heard everything. He was in his room and he put a bug on his father\'s room.

He look up at him with broken eyes. Enzo feel so sad and in pain as well. Sabrina has been holding herself back. He himself wanted to know what Sabrina had witness. It must be excruciating that she never talk for years and never told any soul what happened.

"Dad, give Sabrina some time and get ready yourself." He said. "Only she can tell what happened."

"There\'s another person that can tell." Ferdinand said as he swig the bottle of whiskey to his mouth. "I am going to visit her."

Enzo knows what will happen next and he want to witness it. It\'s time to visit the mistress.
