Chapter 36: Can't Help Falling in Love (F)

Brandy was outside the Alvarez mansion to monitor Janine's move. In a few days or so when her situation gets tight, she will eventually meet someone. And that person might be their target or not. He was holding the files of ten years ago when their boss was kidnapped together with her mother. He never thought that someone would experience that much. Yet he knew other girls experienced bad things than his boss. The good thing was that his boss was a strong woman and she was his idol.

He drove his car away as someone replaced him to tail off Janine's move. He went to Whiskey's room in the headquarters and found him eating a lot of vegetables and protein. Tequila was feeding him like he was a baby. He sighed and leaned on the way enjoying the bromance between the two.

"You guys didn't invite me. Are you sure you don't want me to join you?"

"Come here!" Tequila waved his hands and took out his chopstick to pick some sushi. "Ahh." Tequila fed Brandy as well and Brandy settled on the King bed where Whiskey stayed.

"Hmm." Brandy thumbs up. "Mas-issneun." He said, which means delicious in Korean.

The door opens and they stop eating as their boss steps in, in a good mood though she's always emotionless.

"Boss!" They immediately offered her a seat and gave them whatever food it was. She took another chopstick, pick the sushi. wave them off and eat with them.

"Boss, I am fine. No need to worry at all." Whiskey said.

She didn't say a thing as usual and just ate with them. This part of her was to show that she cared about them like her little brother. After eating with them, she went to the VIP room and found Enzo lying on the bed watching Catastrophe sleeping on the sofa. She settled on the side of the bed and smacked his leg. He hissed and glowered at her. She cock her head on the sleeping woman.

"I am admiring her, okay?" He rolled his eyes. "Leave." He said coldly. Sabrina scoffed and left the room.

She better be with her fiancé than to be with her stupid brother. She went to the studio to admire the pair of gowns and tuxedos. He will look like a king in the outfit. She signed the designer to visit her villa tomorrow with the tuxedo for her future husband.

Aria was calmer now that Ethan was around. She worked efficiently and passed all the documents on time. She checks her calendar and sets an outing date with him. Just a simple normal date is all she asked, and that should be with him.

She got a call from the reception and went downstairs to receive something. It was a bouquet that she loved. He still remembers her favorite latte. She blushed and called him.

"I love it."

"Good that you love it."

"What do you want for dinner?" she asked as she walked back to her office.

"I am good at anything you cook."

"Okay, I'll buy ingredients later."

"Uhuh. I have something to talk to you about." She was a little. Is he breaking up with her? Or what else would it be?

"Okay." She smiled.

"I miss you already." He wasn't going to break up with her. "I Love you. Make sure that you aren't stressed."

"Okay, I will." She hung up and smiled beautifully.

When the long hand ticked to lunchtime she reached her purse and phone. Suddenly her phone rang just when she stood, she went to the reception area and found him. He looked so mighty, sexy and so handsome in that black suit. He also looked too dominant and there was no smile on his face while waiting for her, he was expressionless, and when he noticed her walking in his direction his face lit up.

"Baby," He called his girlfriend as the employee who witnessed something odd was hiding her smile in shock. She found out one gossip to tell everyone. He's personally picking up his girlfriend.

"Did you wait that long?" she asked. He reached for her hand.

"Nope. I just got here." He bent down and kissed her forehead.

He intertwined his fingers with her small hand as they left the building. They both stopped, seeing Sabrina getting off from her motorbike like an action star. She was gracefully cool and Ethan had to roll his eyes. She always got that effect. She beeps her motorbike at them.

"Sabrina!" Aria waves at her. She nodded with a smile. A bodyguard came up, took the keys from her to park it.

"Are you here to mess up with him?" Ethan asked as Sabrina winked at him and patted Aria as she entered inside. "What's the status?" He asked and Sabrina stopped. She looked at him sideways and smirked. He smirked back. "Okay."

Sabrina's expression immediately changes into something dangerous. She entered the building and was given a VIP pass since it was an order from the CEO. She walked in the corridor like she was just at home and directly went to her office where she was escorted by the assistant.

She settled down and sighed as she scrolled her phone watching her stepmother's expression in the interrogation room. She wanted to laugh out loud while drinking wine to celebrate her first step on threatening her.

She can put her in jail for a lifetime. But she's too kind to put her in jail that easily. She still gathered a lot of evidence and let her enjoy the luxury of their family wealth. Her revenge wasn't that easy.

If she put her in jail, she can't torture her mentally and emotionally. She wanted to play along. She wants her to feel ten times what she felt back then. She's not just revenge for herself and her mother. She's also avenging those people whom she hurt.

Remembering Aria from downstairs, looking all happy with Ethan. The girl was sweet and she knew that she didn't have a bad intention. She exhaled and stared outside the full view glass wall. Her coldness suddenly melted when she felt his arms wrap her up from behind the sofa.

"Are you hungry?"

"Hmm."

"Then, I don't want you to starve." He kisses her top head. "Where do you want to eat?" She shrugged.

Then a thought came to her. She stepped on the sofa and clung to him like a koala. Legs wrapped around his hips and her arms clung around his nape. He held her butt cheek. Damn, he just admires her like this.

"Make out first or lunch?" she glanced at her wristwatch. "Lunch then." He read her. "Lead the place where you want to eat."

So, she drove the car to the expensive restaurant where Janine always had her lunch with her friends. She clung to her fiancé like a koala even when they entered the restaurant that she reserved earlier.

She sneers and shows her gold digger friends that she's a big-time with a big-time future husband. He dotingly led her to their seat and agreed on every order that she wanted. He even ordered her favorite wine.

Janine's hand was shaking in anger. She clenched it into a ball and her fingernails dug on her palm. It almost bleeds and her friends were saying how disappointing that Marga wasn't the one to marry the big shot.

She's getting furious each time they discuss it in front of her. She stood and excused herself to the powder room. She screamed inside the bathroom, her chest pumping up and down in anger. Her blood boils through her head. The mocking look from her stepdaughter was enough to boil her up.

"I'm going to kill you soon, Sabrina. Not killing you with your mother is my mistake." She uttered to herself and she slowly breathed to calm. She re-touched her makeup and returned to face her friends as nothing happened.

Sabrina left Gabriel's office and directly went to her villa. She locks herself in her studio. She started operating the whole studio to make sure that the recorder was on. She cleared her throat and after vocalizing for ten minutes, she sighs, picking up her guitar as she starts strumming her guitar. After a long intro, she opened her mouth and sang so softly and gently, like she was confessing her love.

"Wise men say…only fools rush in…

But I can't help falling in love with you…

Shall, I stay?

Would it be a sin?

Oh, if I can't help falling in love with you."

This is the first time that she sang and recorded a love song. Was it her confession toward him? But she doesn't talk and everyone knows that she's mute. Scribbling was good, but she wanted to sing this in front of him.
