Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Gabriel got up, kisses her wife and went to the water dispenser for warm water. After drinking a glass of water, he put on his work out pants and kisses her again. Then he started warming up on the gym with a good music. He have to be physically fit and to be able to protect her no matter what.

He started doing pushups with a weight belt on his waist. One hundred pushups and then he burpees without weights.

"Hey there sexy." He stop when he heard that low voice a little hoarse and so sweet to listen. He look up at her as stands by the door with the silk sheet around her naked body. He stand and catches his breath. What a very beautiful image?

"Good morning, darling." She walk to him and tip toe to reach his lips. He caress her sexy messy hair and lifted her chin. "What do you want?" he asked seductively.

"I." She traces her forefinger on the layers of muscles on his middle chest to his abdominal. "Want." Then she play on the band of his gym shorts. "You." She pouted and make that kitty eyes, pleading him.

Just her sight, he knows that it is hard to resist her. With an addition of her seductive voice, her touch plus that adorable face that she's making was enough for him to go crazy. He pull her up as the silk sheet falls on the ground.

She wrapped her legs around him automatically and they started kissing passionately. Like hungry cave man and woman. He walk fast to the wall and pinned her there and that's when their love making starts.

♥♥♥

She help him with his suit and then tie. She even choose his suit for today and made him smoothie and snacks. She walk him to the doorstep and gave him a kiss. He kiss her passionately and murmur to her to enjoy her day. She nodded and sigh when the sky looks cloudy. It only means that she won't go to office today since it will rain.

She just love rain so she went to their bedroom where her reading spot is; a window seat with cute cushions and plush pillows. She wrapped herself with a nice warm blanket and pull out a book as she listen to the sound of rain outside. Instead of reading romance, she's reading something thrilling.

She just wish that every weekends are rainy season. And on that days, she should be with him, reading at the same spot, cuddling or making love.

While she's in the middle of reading, she suddenly stop and look at the calendar. It's been over a month since their wedding and tomorrow would be her expected period. But maybe she's going to get pregnant and she expected it.

She went back to reading again and her stomach feel a little cramps. Maybe it was her PMS so she ask the maid for a hot pads. She wrapped it on her navel and continue reading. At twelve, the door opens and the maid came in with her lunch.

She started eating while reading and ignore anything else. Her life when it is rainy would be like this. Maid or the butler would only serve her drinks and foods while she sat or lie down all day and enjoy the rainy day.

"I feel lazy." Aria said as she yawn and look at the glass wall of their office.

"Then go home." Ethan said. Aria is wearing her earpiece while talking to him through cellphone. "Ari, baby."

"Hmm?"

"Is there anything else you want to do beside office work?"

"I want to take care of you."

"Baby, let's talk about this over dinner. I'll pick you up as always."

"Okay."

When six o'clock struck, she finish the last two piece of paper that she's encoding, she saved her work and take a trip on the bathroom, freshen up and press on the elevator. Just when she's outside waiting with two body guards close to her, a woman approach her. She's wearing a little red dress and look glamorous.

"So, you are Ethan's woman, right?" The woman asked. She doesn't know her or had seen her. But the sound wasn't so nice at all.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I'm Olivia." She extend her hand and she look at it and didn't shook it. "Shake my hand." She didn't and just stare at her. Olivia rolled her eyes. "I was on the mansion of Alvarez weeks ago—when Ethan's step-mom call me for a chat. She said that Ethan and I are great match."

"You are straight forward." She said snapping her words.

"To be real straight to you, I am Ethan's ex-girlfriend and we have a great love. I am willing to give up everything for him. So, now I am telling you this because—a woman like you don't match him."

"Then you are telling me that you match my husband?" Olivia was quite stunned on Aria's sharpness. "Oh, please, if you want my husband so bad—make him leave me."

A car stop and Ethan came out quickly. He frown seeing Olivia and he walk toward Aria pulling her in his arms and kissing her forehead. He then glance on her body guards.

"Ethan…" Olivia show her vulnerable eyes.

"Make sure that this woman never approach my wife. Any stranger or anyone that approach her, should be seen as a threat."

"Yes, sir." Oliva's jaw drop seeing two body guards that camouflage around like they are just nobody. If she hadn't break up with him, could she own two body guards or more as well?

"Let's go." Ethan gently led Aria to the car and even put her seat-belt on. Then he closes the door carefully. He didn't even glance at his ex-girlfriend who acted so vulnerable.

He starts the engine and drive carefully though he's a little annoyed that the gold digger have to approach his wife. Aria noticed it so she didn't ask anything. He reach her hand and press it gently. It calms him down.

"How's your day?" she asked like they always do.

"It's good, lots of paper works and preparing for grand launching." He kisses her hand and let it stay on his cheek. "How about you?"

"I feel unusually sleepy all day." She said and close her eyes.

"Sleep, I'll wake you up when we get home."

"Hmm."

Pregnancy is hard and he have to support her from the start until the end. The only way for him to make sure that she'll be safe and be in good condition is to make her resign her job. He can let her do whatever she wanted. Like go to shopping every day and buy whatever she likes…but she doesn't really like shopping.

They arrive in the villa and he carried her all the way to the bedroom. She woke up and gave him kisses on lips.

"Baby, let's change clothes first."

"But I want you now." She pouted. He was too surprise on what she said but can they do it? She started unbuttoning his shirt and kisses his neck and chest. "Ethan, come on! I want you right now." She said impatiently. She was never impatient so he got excited when she impatiently make him do it with her.

"Okay."

After their love making, they change clothes and went downstairs to eat. This is time for them to talk about her resignation. He doesn't want to force her but it makes him worried. So he had thought of lot of words to say to convince her.

"Baby, why don't you resign and take care of me?"

"Okay." She said nonchalantly.

"I was just making sure—" then he stop from saying the next line that he's going to say. "Did you just say 'okay'?" he asked with creased brows. She look at him innocently and nodded. He scoff and smack his forehead. "Damn, here I am worrying on what I should say to make you resign and stay home. I had written down my lines so I could convince you."

"I want to take care of you and our baby. Also, you always look worried and it pains me seeing you worry so much about me."

"Baby, for you not to get bored, why won't you just do your usual nerd stuff? Reading, writing, sleeping?" he grin and kisses her hand.

"Sure." She smiled very charmingly.
