“Mom, why do people die?” Adam asked in a sad tone. Arabella knew he was thinking of his grandmother, Jaime. Adam was the same as her as he also played toughly for his mother.
“Hmmm… maybe because they were too beautiful persons that they were meant to live in a beautiful paradise.” She answered remembering Jaime. Undoubtedly, her mother was a good woman. She loved her family so much that she forgave and accepted her father with his mistress. Arabella hated her mother for this. She could not see herself as forgiving as her mom and she could not accept a husband with another woman. She would rather not have a husband than someone who would just cheat on her. Now, she wanted to understand her mom. Maybe because they were people who have a bigger heart than hers that they can accommodate all the pain in the world and still they would not get tired of loving.With her thoughts, Arabella heaved a deep sigh.“I miss grandma, mom.”Morning came, Arabella lifted her eyelids slowly. The white ceiling greeted her eyes. A bit of headache struck her but she could feel that she had a very good sleep as she felt very light. Her mind was calm and empty, unlike the previous days. She wanted to get more sleep when her eyes landed on the arm wrapped on her waist.She was quickly snapped back to her senses. She turned her head to the side to see the most handsome face her eyes had ever laid on. Bill was sleeping beside her. “What’s happening here?” She frowned while asking herself.Then her memory traveled last night’s event.“Oh Gosh!” She blurted out. She remembered walking in the hallway up to the stair but instead of turning left, she turned right. With her mouth wide open and eyes rolling, she was startled. She entered the wrong room. She was inside Bill’s room.“OMG! Arabella, what have you done?” She wanted to choke he
“If you want to continue living here. It’s just fair that you have to agree with the owner’s terms and conditions.” “You have to make a living. You will work for me. I am your boss outside and you are my secretary. Inside the house, I am your husband and you are my wife. Clear?”Bill’s words were like a boomerang.“You have a choice, Arabella.” Eric Grant‘s words cut her.The two men’s words popped out in Arabella’s mind. Then she smiled.Sky Corporation.Arabella dressed like going to a fashion show. Very elegant and beautiful. She had never dressed like that before. She even surpassed Trishia’s fashion. She walked confidently like a model walking on a catwalk. Sexy, beautiful, and confident that all men in the area could not help to turn around and give her an amusing stare.She waved at them and gave them her sweetest smile.Bill abruptly stopped in f
“Lira, why do you need to resign?” Thomas, Lira’s boss was very disappointed when Lira gave him her resignation letter personally. “You are our top agent.” When Lira came to his company their sales income had doubled up. “How about this, I will double your pay. I will give you some time to think it over again. Will you?” One could easily tell that he didn’t want to let go of Lira. “I’m sorry Thomas, my decision is already final.” Lira stood up for her resignation as she remembered her conversation with Damien over the phone.“Lira, do this for me please,” Damien begged at her.“Why me?” Lira asked confused.“You can only be my eyes in Bill Sky’s office. When you’re going to be her assistant, you can also protect her. I’m sure she’s eyeing you to her assistant. So, when she calls you, please accept the job.” Arabella had mentioned Damien
Earlier,“Mom, Bill is always with that woman. You have to help me, please.” Trishia lost her nerve when she saw Bill and Arabella go out in the morning. She stayed in his house for nothing as she could not even enter Bill’s room. “What do you plan to do?” Kelly was drinking her coffee in the gazebo when Trishia strode in frantically.“I want to be with Bill all the time, mom,” Trishia answered. “Let me have a position in the Corporation.” Trishia was already desperate. She would do anything to get Bill and she would not allow Arabella to ruin her plan.Kelly studied Trishia. She was unwell for the past few days and tried her best to get up today. Kelly could not deny that the death of Jaime troubled her. She was her best friend before until her daughter shamed their family and killed her husband. It seemed the hatred she felt was already engraved in her heart.“I can help you with that.”
“Mommy! Daddy!” Adam was so excited seeing his parents when they strode inside the house together.Adam stormed and hugged his mother then, his father.Kelly and Trishia strode closer to Bill and hugged him. Trishia’s eyes rolled over at Arabella then she sweetly kissed Bill’s cheek. Bill allowed her and Arabella saw it. She knew Trishia was head over heels on Bill but did this man have the same feeling for Trishia?‘If yes, why I'm still here?’Arabella couldn’t help to think about Bill and Trishia’s relationship.‘Is Trishia not enough for him?’ ‘Is Trishia even know about Lala and his other women?’‘Did Bill tell her about the status of our contractual marriage that is why she was still there in the house?’ ‘Undoubtedly, perhaps.’‘No woman could stand to stay in one house with the man she loves who had another woman slee
12 a.mTrishia could not find her sleep as her mind was inside Bill’s room. "Happy Birthday!" Disheartened, Trishia greeted herself loudly in the air while drowning herself with liquor. She could imagine Bill and Arabella were making out in his own bed. She had never slept in his bed. In his room. He never let her. "And that woman just goes in and out of his room freely." Trishia’s tears dripped down feeling so down. She was devastated that all her efforts were just wasted.6 years ago.When Ed Sky died, Kelly was at a loss. For the love of her husband, Kelly had given up that she wanted to kill herself too.“Mr. Sky, your mother is missing.” In the hospital, one of Bill’s men reported over the phone. Trishia heard it and she found a good opportunity with the situation.Kelly is the only family Bill had left. If she finds her, Bill would owe her.So, she looked for Kelly eve
“Dad!”Arabella called out. Her heart instantly raced fast. Called her crazy to think that the man was her dad but Arabella was no doubt about it. She panicked and thrilled as she stormed in the man’s direction.“Dad!”She called him again but the man didn’t turn around nor move. He seemed not hearing hear but that was impossible as she was already shouting at her loudest.“What are you doing here?” A deep voice suddenly sounded behind her. Without turning around, she already knew the owner of the voice.Bill Sky.As for the moment, she had no time for him. She had a more important thing to check out. With her high heels, she ran towards the man but she suddenly twisted her ankle when her heel stepped wrongly on the cobblestone.Arabella stumbled. She already surrendered herself to the ground but someone had caught her on time.She slowly opened her eye
“Pakkk!” Just after a loud bang of a door, a thunderclap slap sound echoed the room. By the strong force, Trishia stumbled as she held her swollen cheek. “You are nothing but a disgrace!” Sen. Meyer roared. The intense anger he was holding just a while ago exploded. He came there together with his friends to discuss his candidacy in the next election as he was courteously courting them to have their support. Sen. Meyer knew that just the presence of Bill Sky in the party would fix everything. Simple as that.If they knew his supporter is Bill Sky, they would have no second thoughts and would instantly give Sen. Meyer their full support.But tonight, Trishia ruined everything. The very simple thing he had left in his career is Bill Sky. His fame, power, and money would give Sen. Meyer success in his candidacy.“I’m sorry dad.” Trishia could only utter cry feeling the pain on her cheek.&ld
