Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

154 When there's Love there's Pain

Tony pick up Veronica in front of the building. Francisco is with Sylvia with two body guards, Veronica look timid and smart at the same time. He still didn't understand why she has to wear glasses. He got out from the car and wave at her.

"I'll go first." She said. Both Francisco and Sylvia nodded. He was sure that Sylvia would make a move from Francisco's orders.

Tony met Veronica and kiss her forehead.

"Bubble tea?" He asked her. She smile. He knows what would make her mood change. A bubble tea and pizza. "I bought different flavors." He open the car door and she was surprise at the box of bubble tea. How is she going to finish all of it?

It was all refreshment with yogurt, he knows that she dislike milk tea. Veronica wrapped her arm around him and kiss his face.

"As a payment, I'll make love to you all night." He grin at her.

"We always make love." She grin back.

"Get in now before I make love to you here. And that would surprise everyone."

So when Veronica got in. She immediately took one of the refreshment from the ice box full of ice and she pull a straw.

"Why don't you just buy me that favorite bubble tea?" She tease him. He pull out his phone and dial someone.

"Hey, please give me the details on this milk tea—"

"Hey! I am kidding!" She said aloud. Was this what Sabrina felt whenever Gabriel bought her things that she wanted? Like a certain real estate and her own bubble tea shop?

"Yes." He spoke over the phone and ignore her. "Give me a good location for that bubble tea house and please contact the owner for me." He hang up and pats her head. "I am happy that you ask."

She was pouting. In fact, she can afford to buy a bubble tea franchising. She can even make her own brand and study about it.

"So what else do you want? A pizza parlor."

"Don't be stupid. I am just teasing you. Cancel it now."

"Sorry. I already call someone to do it. Don't worry, you can always have milk tea every day." He drove back to their penthouse. "So, I called our designer. You're going to be at the gala night?"

"I will. My boss will be there and I have to be pretty and attract investors." He gripped the steering wheel when she said it. Then she notice the bruises on his knuckles like he had punch a skull. "So who did you beat today?" He loose his grip on the steering wheel and glance at her.

"It's nothing, honey."

"Come on, tell me. Next time don't beat up someone without me. I want to do it as well and help you with it." She already guessed who because Rivera wasn't there to harass her.

Tony laugh out loud. Now Veronica understand what love is. That's why Sabrina was into Gabriel. Lawson's are great lovers and they spoil their woman hundred percent.

"So, you beat up Rivera?"

"You are good at that. That's why I love you."

"Shut up. I hate you for not contacting me. I should beat him up myself."

"Next, time dear." He patted her head. "You are so adorable."

"I am not adorable." Tony glance at her pouting and sip on her bubble tea. She was so adorable that he couldn't help but to admire her more. But because he's the driver he can't stare at her for long.

Sabrina was inspecting the laboratory that Gabriel build for her. From the outside it looks like an ordinary building. But inside was a facility and they made an underground facility for the safety of their research. Samantha was the lead and Gabriel gather his researchers and make them sign a confidentiality contract and others.

Sabrina trust him a lot in this. Gabriel was behind her and explaining everything while Samantha was too excited and couldn't help but gasps. Everything around was high-tech and some are new inventions that would help her in her research.

"You like it?" Gabriel asked. Few are still under maintenance. She was surprise that he built it so fast for her.

"I love it." They hold hands as they roam around the facility. Each of the researchers has their own room. Samantha's room was big enough for her comfort since she's the lead of this research. "How high is the security around?"

"This is a discreet place, almost near to Catriona's farm." Gabriel mutter.

Samantha turn around when she heard Gabriel.

"For you to check on Catriona regularly, I chose this place."

Samantha felt like Gabriel was too doting on his wife and could kill for her. It was a dangerous love not for both of them but for people who wants to break them apart. He was willing to protect every person close to her. And if someone hurt them—she will get hurt and he was willing to avenge them for her.

In real life—there wouldn't be a Gabriel. That's what she thought all along. Gabriel was the man of women's dreams. Unfortunately, she has been searching for one but she haven't found any but there's Albert who protect her and makes her feel better.

Samantha check everything until she's satisfied with the equipment and her mind start wondering around for her research.

Sabrina face her husband.

"Do you want to see Catriona?" He asked her. "I already make sure that everything are secured there and we aren't followed. I also bought things for them."

Sabrina never get disappoint at her husband. She of course want to see Catriona and Tequila. They are her friends and they are important to her. Gabriel took Sabrina and Samantha to Catriona's Farm house and they found her sitting on the sofa with puppies cuddle around her. Tequila greet them and greet his girlfriend warmly with a kiss on the lips and he went to the kitchen to prepare something.

"How are you?" Sabrina asked as she took one of the puppy on her lap and start patting it.

"I am good. I don't feel any side effect from the drugs and the babies are stable."

"That's great. Are you sure that you don't want Enzo to know about this? He is so certain that you are pregnant—that's because he planned it." Sabrina said. "But I never told him anything at all. This is my last visit. I don't know when I will be able to visit you. We have to maintain people getting in and out so Eros won't track you."

"Your brother was such a bastard—isn't he?" Catriona mutter. Sabrina laugh.

"He was… You were his first love so—I understand how desperate he was."

"He is my first love… as well." She mutter. Sabrina's face can't paint anymore. It was so sad that her heart breaks for them.
