Catriona managed to take another glass of champagne as she watched the three policemen in uniform directly go to Ferdinand and the guard. Everyone was of course surprised. Ferdinand showed them toward Janine.
"What's this?" Janine asked with creased brows. Janine's friends were also surprised.
"Mrs. Janine Alvarez." The first police officer speaks as he shows his badge. "We are Manila Police."
"What can I do for you?" She managed to stay calm and hide her nervousness. The second police officer shorter than the three gave her a letter.
"We are here to arrest you. This is a warrant of arrest."
"Arrest?"
"We are arresting you for instigating an attempted murder of Mr. Enzo Alvarez. You have the right to remain silent and get a lawyer." They took her hand and handcuffed her.
"Wait! You can't arrest me?! What do you mean by attempted murder?"
Ferdinand didn't do anything at all as he watched her being taken by the police. He couldn't do anything. Marga was calling her mother and even tugging her father's sleeve.
"Dad what's happening?" she cried. "Mom was being taken by the police."
Janine looked at Sabrina while she was taken away by the police. Sabrina tilted her head with a sinister smile toward her. It sent shivers to her and at the same time made her furious. But she didn't act like she knew what the little bitch did to her. It was planned.
Sabrina lovingly wrapped her arms around Gabriel. What Gabriel did was just a step toward their next plan. Soon, she'll have them in her palms and will torture them slowly for what they did.
And on the other side, Marga was panicking as Ferdinand told the butlers to dismiss the people. The triplets with their lovers went inside the living room. While the security was showing the people outside, their mother's relatives and close cousin confronted Ferdinand.
"How did you manage to marry someone that could kill your son?" Cara asked. "I bet she killed Ana as well."
"Don't talk to my mom like that!" Marga heard it clearly and burst out.
"You never know what your mother can do." Cara turned and left with her family.
There's no uneasiness on Ferdinand's face. If it is true that his mistress tried to kill Enzo, then he could do nothing about it. This family had suffered a blow. He saw that day that Sabrina drove the car, so, the target must be Sabrina.
Deep down he feels anxious and terrified. If he's going to lose her, then it's game over for him. He almost lost her back then and that's not going to happen. He went to the living room and sat down as the maid prepared tea and the drinks they wanted.
"Is this true?" Ferdinand asked. "There's no way the court would release a warrant of arrest without proof. So I have no say in it. I won't force any of you to pull out the charges. If Janine instigated the supposed accident, then I'll let it be."
"Daddy? You mean that you aren't going to bail out mom?" Marga asked and started crying.
"Marga, you should know the difference between right and wrong," Ferdinand said like a strict father. "If your mother did such a thing, then I'll cooperate to solve this case."
"What kind of a husband are you?" She shouted running upstairs.
Catriona sighed as she drank the wine she's been holding. Ferdinand looks at Enzo who lost a little bit of weight because of the accident.
"How did you manage to get proof?"
"It's my doing," Gabriel speaks. He doesn't want to reveal that Sabrina was behind this. "Since Sabrina was supposed to drive the car that day, I have to find the real culprit before it's too late."
"Okay. I trust you. It's a long night, rest well." For Ferdinand, there's no resting. He has a lot to reflect on and think of.
Gabriel carried Sabrina to her room and even prepared a warm bath. Once she's already on the bed, looking all yummy and sexy, he crawls from the edge of the bed toward her beautiful long legs. He kisses her ankle and her knees then spread her legs.
"Happy birthday." He kisses her inner thigh and sighed at her seductive scent. "So how do you want me to please you?" He grinned at her. She sat up, removed her thin dress and next was her panties. "Baby, I could only use my mouth and my hand to please you. You know that." She pouted at him.
"Our wedding is only a week away… then you can have me whenever you want." He kisses her top head. "Now be good and lay down. I could please you more when I am down there. Right?"
She submissively lay down. Forgetting about what happened a while ago. But anyway, her people are already working on it so she had no worries. She deserves it. She has to enjoy herself with her doting fiancé while her stepmother is in the cold jail.
♡♡♡
Catriona was already lying on the bed wearing Enzo's shirt. She's relieved that her makeup is gone and the crappy heels are gone. She was busy with her phone getting updates on what was happening. Enzo had managed to put a bug on his stepmom's hair clip so that once she called that person, they could track him.
Enzo just got out of the bathroom and he bent down to kiss her lips. She pushed him aside and continued reading a few reports.
"It's my birthday." He said with pouts. She glanced at the clock that said it was already noon. He sat down beside her.
"Not anymore." He opened the black paper bag and counted the boxes of condoms. Ten boxes and there's another box. He opens it and smiles seeing the beautiful expensive sports watch.
"I love it." He lifted the watch.
"Good." She yawns as she puts her phone away. She pulled a pillow and hugged it. He caresses her exposed legs, with no cellulite but beautiful lady muscles. He keeps rubbing her thigh and watches her sleepily close her eyes.
"Catriona."
"Hmm."
"Let's date tomorrow."
"I'll be busy tomorrow." She muttered sleepily.
"Did you find my bed comfortable?" he grins at her. She only hums as she sleeps. He sighed and wanted to wake her up for great sex but at the same time, he didn't want to disturb her.
♡♡♡
Ethan was watching her fix his little mess on the table and neatly put it in the drawer. He put away his tablet and patted the space beside him. She walked to him and pulled out something from the drawer. She gave it to him as she kneels on the bed, looking so adorable in his shirt.
He grins at her as he reaches her small face and kisses her.
"What's the surprise?"
"Open it." He opened it and it was a pair of expensive cuff-link. Not that expensive like what he usually buys.
"Is this for our wedding?" He looks up at her with meaning. She was confused and tilted her head as she replayed what he said. "Baby," He called.
"Ethan." He takes her hand and kisses it.
"This hand works on so many things. Aren't you tired?"
"I—'m fine." She answered, still confused.
"I love your gift." He closes the box and puts it aside. "But I love you more." She flushed as he pulled her and made her straddle him. "When we get married—let's have a lot of babies."
"S-Seriously?" She asked, still confused about why he was speaking about marriage.
"I will of course help you take care of our children."
"Ethan…" She felt like it was too much and she doesn't deserve to marry him. "I love you and I want to have babies with you. But…"
"There are no buts." He caresses her silky straight hair that has beautiful curl ends. "We have a night flight tomorrow." He kisses her lips. "Let's go buy bikinis." He suggested. She giggles.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." He kisses her passionately. "Let's sleep." He suggested.
"Kiss me more." She pouted. He laughed and kissed her more lovingly.
Thanks for the support. I am currently fixing some errors.
