“Bi… Bill?” She frowned deeply as she hissed apologetically.How she missed identifying him?Now she realized his kiss was the kiss she ever wanted.The best kiss she ever tasted.She felt the intense familiarity but of course, due to her situation, she had no time to dwell on the feeling, or else she would fall into its spell and would cause her to be caught by her abductor.Bill’s face was red due to the slap she gave.He looked at her unreadably.Arabella felt nervous about his stare at her.“Aren’t you tired of running away from me?” Bill suddenly asked in a strict tone.Judging from his stern expression, Arabella was sure that she was the only human who had hit him.Now, he was angry and maybe felt humiliated.His seriousness was bringing a subtle dark vibe into the area.This signaled Bill's men to get rid of the people around.This left them alone.“Oh… I’m sorry… I thought… oh, I just…” Arabella didn’t know what to say.Clearly, she misunderstood the intention of his men becau
In capital Z, SKY Corporation is the biggest company and known for its outstanding multi-billion dollars business contribution all over the world. It says "Going against SKY Corporation is like digging your own grave." Nobody dares to provoke. It's entitled the 'Ruthless King' of all business in the City. One can freely imagine to the scariest up to the wildest the 'man' behind the title. That is no other than Bill Sky. The brain behind the 'Ruthless King' corporation. The cold, domineering CEO of SKY Corporation. Being the 1st is the only term in his dictionary. Saying "NO" is an immortal sin to him and deserve to be punished. "YES" means winning and it is the only answer he wants to hear in this world that is why he is always leading on everything. Bill never loses in any business dealings. At the early aged of 5, he had already his own office in the company where his dad, Ed Sky, trained him to be the next successor. Bill Sky is the only child of his f
In Capital Z, only the most elite could afford the membership of ‘Luxury Bar’. It has the same size of a Five-Star hotel with complete high-end bar amenities and most expensive well- known liquors. They say that every member here has their own exclusive room and personal butlers. Its security is undeniably very tight. That’s why this is the favorite stomping ground of most VIPs. That included Bill Sky. His cousin Gab Kenley, is the owner of this bar. He’s one year younger than Bill and also very good looking. He’s the type of a playful boy next – door. Marcus Savor is his second cousin. He’s 3 years older than Bill. He also has good genes as him but Marcus had tied the knot last year by his parents’ demand. Savor Group is the leading hoteliers in Capital Z. The three cousins often meet here for a drink and shared personal and business insights. “What’s up man?” Gab cheerfully greeted Bill when they entered their VIP room.
After the incident last night, Arabella spent her day sleeping on her bed. She didn’t mind the time. Her body was still in a deep shocked. ‘That man is really a scumbag!’ she tightened her hug on her pillow while thinking of the arrogant man last night. She tried to remember his face but it’s like a puzzle with a missing piece. ‘Who is he?’ She was curious and at the same time anxious but she couldn’t figure it out. She didn’t even remember how she got out from that place. Jason Hansen, her ex-boyfriend contacted her last night to have a good closure. He dumped her like trash when his family knew the mess she went through. His ex-boyfriend is the CEO of Hansen Group next to SKY Corporation. He is famous in Capital Z with his stunning good look and powerful aura that one can be easily intimidated. Jason was her boyfriend for almost 5 years. They been classmates abroad. Their families were close ever since and he was her childhood sweetheart. Too bad, she neede
The text message: ‘I am sorry. Forget about the marriage, it will never happen in this lifetime. I cannot go on with this relationship anymore. Let’s end this relationship here. I wish you happiness in the future. I will appreciate if you will not bother me anymore. Good Bye. - Jason.’ She stopped trying to grasp her breath but there’s no air. It’s like the presence of oxygen inside her body was nowhere to found. In an instant, she felt like walking right into a booby-trap and got blown to smithereens. She must be dreaming. This is not true! Her tears finally came flowing like rain drops. She couldn’t help crying. Her heart was stabbed like a million times. It’s bleeding. It ached so much. She just wished to stop the pain. She just wished to end it right away. She wanted to shout. She wanted to cry. ‘Why all things happening to her? Why now? Why me?’ So many questions in her mind but the answers were to no avail. Her knees gave
A fresh start. That is all Arabella wanted. The turmoil shift of her life was all so sudden. She just remembered stepping out from the plane in Capital Z, she was full of excitement ‘Finally, I’m home!’ she smiles at the thought of it never knowing a big twist of fate awaits her. She was back to her reality, when her doorbell rang twice. ‘It must be Farrah!’ she thought running towards the door without seeing the peephole. No one knows where she lives, only Farrah comes in and out of her apartment. With her pajamas and scattered long smooth hair, she opened the door. “Good Afternoon my Lady!” a tall and dark figure with professional black suit respectfully welcomed her outside the door. He bent slight his upper body as a sign of respect. Together with two others, they were also wearing black suit with black leather shoes and behind them was a black shiny luxurious car. She was shocked. ‘Who are they?’ Are these men of my father?’ ‘Are
Bill Sky, the CEO of Sky Corporation. Backed to her senses, she only had 3 hours left. It seems that time is not her friend right now. Arabella had to decide. ‘Can I really afford to offend Sky Corporation? My Gosh! What should I do?’ she’s talking to herself now. ‘What does he want from me? Is he going to get revenge on me because I hurt him last night?’ she paused for a moment, ‘But I just protected myself.’ She exclaimed. ‘But you were the one who kissed him first you idiot!” her other self reminded her. ‘Yeah, it’s really my fault last night, so what should I have to do now?’ she was pressured since time is running, she needs to decide. After pondering for a while, she came up to a brilliant idea. She would see Bill Sky and clear the issue with him. It is better to put an end to it rather than running away from him. ‘Hello? As if she could hide from this powerful man such as the CEO of Sk
“Marry me.” Closing the space gap between their bodies, Bill then kissed Arabella like crazy. Devouring her lips like replaying the scene last night. Like a lightning volt flashed, their lips touched. The kiss was so powerful that electrified her entire body making her weaker but she felt something pleasurable in her heart. Arabella was shocked. Her eyes were wide opened and her body stood in a daze. She couldn’t move for a while. ‘How she missed this kiss.’ Arabella partially closed her eyes trying to satisfy her thoughts. They have shared several kisses with Jason before but this kiss is something different. She never thought she would enjoy it and worst, to crave for more. Arabella’s action was abruptly cut by another thought ‘Hey, you need to resist this. You need to focus why you are here.’ So, she quickly lifted her two hands, put on his chest and pushed him away hardly. ‘Damn! His chest was damn so hard!’ Ar

The next morning, Arabella woke in a strange room again.Compared to the present condition, she felt her body was gaining back her strength.She seemed to already recover her energy and for her, it was a good thing.She heaved a sigh of relief.Her breathing was fine now but she wasn’t sure if she was still alive.The immense darkness was gone just like that.Her eyes moved trying to figure out something.Then she suddenly lifted her hand to touch her face.She needed to feel the pain to know she was still living.When she saw her arm, her eyes widened.It was the only time she noticed that she had a drip again.Arabella halted in fear as her eyes stared at the needle in her hand.She was quickly taken aback as her memory brought her back to the time when she was held kidnapped by Damien.Her memory in Damien’s room immediately flashed across her mind.She wracked her brain trying to remember everything at that time.She knew there was something she needed to remember.Something impor
"Bill..." Sounding like a ghost, Arabella's voice was so cold. "Bill...my love. Help me... Help me, please..." Arabella felt trapped in the unending darkness. She could not move nor cry. Not even her tears were moving. They were stuck inside her eyes. Her body was very light but numb like it could float in the air. She could not hear herself breathing nor feel her heartbeat.'Am I dead?'She had thought trying to figure out where she was in. The darkness was consistent. It had no plan to allow some light to enter like it was very oppressive. "Bill...help!" Struggling to make her voice come out, she spoke again even if she knew that it was too impossible that one could hear her. It was like Bill was the only person who could get her out of the darkness. Arabella was waiting...She was patiently waiting for him…Even if there was no hope that he would come...still, she was hoping for him to save her.Meanwhile, the commotion in the airport went out of control when Damien got a
“Bill, where are you going?!” Kelly asked angrily and in panic seeing her son was going out somewhere with his terrible condition. George, his great assistant was putting him a coat.Bill didn’t say a word. He seemed not to want to talk to his mother or his mind was just so preoccupied with something that he missed hearing her or even noticing her presence.Either way, clearly, Bill was not in the mood.After getting a call from Lira, he quickly sat up and took off his hospital gown. “Bill, son! Your doctors were still not letting you go out with your condition. You are still not well for God’s sake! Can you listen to me please for once?!” Kelly was worried about him. Her heart was thumping like a drum. She could not just let him do whatever he wanted as his condition was not yet to be called stable. “Let’s go, George.” Bill didn’t answer her instead he walked through the open door with George behind.“Bill! Stop!” Kelly shouted angrily. Her eyes were in rage like she would not
On day 10 at the hospital, Bill got a call from an unknown caller. “Sir,” George, his right hand handed his phone to him. Bill just looked at him then his eyes landed on his phone. His eyes were soulless like a hawk that was too sharp and dangerous.It was only George who could talk to him not even his mother, Kelly, or his secretaries.No one wanted to be with him right now even his doctors. Just meeting Bill's dangerous eyes, they already wanted to run away or avoid him as he already fired 10 doctors in just one day and another 5 doctors the other day. He seemed to build strong invisible walls around him that nobody wanted to enter or they would greatly suffer.They say the real Bill Sky was back. The literal Bill Sky who was known for his merciless behavior and impatient demeanor. Looking at the phone, he just smirked without planning to receive it from George then his unfathomable eyes closed. “Arabella, where is she? Where is she, Mom?” On day 3 after he got shot, she wo
Arabella looked at the woman in shock. Her eyes were questioning her but the woman could not look her in the eye. She obviously felt uneasy with Arabella. “Ma'am, you… I know you. You are Damien’s mom, right?” Arabella asked quickly hoping she could get any help from the woman. Woman to woman, Arabella wanted to believe that she had a heart if she would know what Damien did to her. “Please help me, ma’am. Your son…” Without wasting any time, Arabella continued. “No…” The woman cut her abruptly. Finally, she faced Arabella with discomfort in her expression.Arabella could feel the woman was struggling to look her in the eyes but even though she did. “I am not his mother. He is not my son.” The woman dropped the bomb with a firm stance. She seemed to know what Arabella wanted from her. Hearing the woman’s words, Arabella halted. The glimpse of hope in her heart suddenly shattered.“I am just a paid actress miss. I do this for a living.” The woman said directly without backing
Arabella felt her body was cold and trembling tremendously. The surrounding was quiet but her mind was screaming for freedom.Her longingness to see her son and husband was invincible.She could not believe she did reach the ground successfully as she thought of giving up in the middle. She could still feel her nerves were shaking but now that she felt the ground with her bare feet, she felt quite a relief. Now, all she needed to do was to run far away from the place. Along with the chilly wind outside and the rough stony ground, Arabella was full of hope that she could see her son and her husband again but to her shock, someone seemed to wait for her on the ground. He waited for her to come.He made a trap and she fell for it.In the dark, Damien was standing smoking a cigarette. The heavy smoke coming from him blended with the chilly air giving Arabella a creepy side of him. She was not expecting to see him there as she thought Damien was already asleep at this time but she w
Trishia stood out from a wheelchair. The only woman who was in a wheelchair among the guests was none other than Damien’s mother. Due to her infection, her face was covered in half with a thin brown flowery-designed fabric. Loose full brown gown not too catchy and easily blended with the crowd. Arabella clearly saw what she saw. Damien was with that woman whoever she was.Not to be embarrassed by her condition, Arabella personally informed the head of security about the additional guest.It seemed that, she made a huge mistake.A terrible mistake. It was clear to her now that the woman in a wheelchair was Trishia all along and not Damien's mom.Damien tricked her but why?It was her biggest question to her old long friend.Why he had to break her trust in him?What happened to Damien?His reason was so blurry but it was so clear that he connived with Trishia's evil plan.They deceived her by using Damien's mom as a ploy.She didn't even know if that woman was his real mom or jus
“Mommy, wake up!” The sweet little voice in her head made her open her eyes. Then she saw her little boy Adam smiling at her so sweetly. His lovely smile instantly lightened up her day. She smiled back at him and then suddenly kissed his forehead. Then, she kissed his nose tip and for a while, she touched it with her nose tip hitting his little nose side to side repeatedly.Adam chuckled happily then finally she kissed his chubby cheeks and tickled him non-stopped. Their laughter echoed around like they were the happiest mother and son.She was so happy being with her son and her heart was full. “Did I miss something?” Suddenly, another charming voice was approaching. The mother and son suddenly stopped and looked at the handsome owner of the voice. “Daddy!!!” Adam jumped out from her and ran toward the man excitedly. Arabella smiled at them. Seeing the two together was her happiest. Bill winked and her cutely then he smiled. Until now, Bill was giving her butterflies in th
