Arabella was stunned to see the familiar face. “George?” She uttered in surprise. George was the right hand of Bill Sky and she didn’t expect him to be her savior tonight.“Miss Jones, let’s go. Don’t worry you are saved now.” George couldn’t forget Arabella Jones. He was there when his boss first met Arabella Jones in a bar. He witnessed their kissing scene that night. It was also his first time seeing his boss kiss back a girl. He was not used to that his boss’ behavior. Usually, his boss disliked women who deliberately kiss him first but not Arabella. She was the only exception. George quickly guided Arabella to his car with the rest of his own men. The others went to the second car. George politely opened the door at the back for Arabella. She nodded politely at George then she got in. George sat in the passenger seat. Then their driver drove away followed by the second car as their backup.The air inside the car was so stiff. It was so quiet and solemn.George seem
Once she stepped inside Bill’s new mansion, Arabella knew her new journey of miseries had begun.“Damien, let’s go home. I’m sure Arabella will call us. You have to trust her. Okay?” Lira was trying to pacify Damien as he was so pissed with the situation. He was very affected by Arabella’s getting inside a car and wanting to get Bill for her. He could not accept that Arabella changed her perspective toward Bill Sky. He was afraid that she was mistaken. As for Damien, he could see Bill Sky was not good for Arabella. He was cruel to her and he didn’t deserve Arabella’s, innocent heart. Generally, Bill Sky didn’t deserve Arabella Jones. With his thoughts, Damien could not find his calm. He should get Arabella out of Bill Sky’s life. He should save her before it was too late.“Just… Shut up! Shut up!” Gnashing his teeth, Damien screamed at Lira. It seemed his anger came out in an open and unluckily, Lira was there as his temper absorber. “You don’t need to scream. I heard you.”
Bill opened the door of his bedroom. He seemed to memorize every detail of his house that he could easily maneuver around even in the dark. When she reached in Bill’s room, she felt something was wrong. She could not find any happiness that finally Bill was going to bring him to the master bedroom of his house. She was not overwhelmed by what they were going to do in his room. Her nervousness was surging up and her mind was in a deep mess.Something was off and she could feel the extremely cold air telling her that there was danger inside his room. When the door closed, Bill suddenly pushed Arabella against the wall. Her back landed on a hard wall hardly and it caused intensive pain.She endured it as she tried to stabilize her weak knees.“Are you thinking that I’m going to touch you?” Bill asked with a very sarcastic tone. Arabella could feel the warmth of his fresh breath and scent mixed into one. She didn’t move and didn’t say anything. “Huh! Are you thinking that I want
Arabella accepted the challenge but being bullied inside the mansion was not part of her plan.She was not that gullible not to know what they were trying to portray.Bill offered her to live in the mansion with them to show her that she was wrong about him loving only her.He wanted to show her and prove to her that he only loved Trishia Meyer.Upon entering the mansion, Arabella already prepared herself for the worst that was coming along her way and tonight was one of them or maybe it was not yet the worst but one thing she considered mentally was that every scene that would happen inside and outside this mansion was already worst, especially she was going to live with Trishia Meyer.In the master bedroom, Arabella keenly studied the scene with Trishia and Bill.At first, she felt very disgusted with plotting an intimate scene in front of her.They were obviously showing her that they were really in love with each other and they were doing what exactly normal couples do.Arabella w
Meanwhile, Damien went home very late. He was obviously avoiding Lira as he didn’t want someone to nag him about getting very drunk. He walked in a zigzag as his mind was with Arabella Jones. He threw his body on the couch inside the living room of his house. It was the house he bought for Arabella but unfortunately, she didn’t like to stay in this house. Damien rested his head on the backrest of the couch as his eyes wandered around the corners of his house. Then he closed his eyes remembering how he missed Arabella. Their life abroad was the most amazing memory Damien got. Arabella’s sweet smile always greeted him every morning whenever he shared his breakfast in her house before. Those pure innocent eyes with effortless natural beauty. Her long smooth hair was always glancing in the air whenever she moved and he hated her having a ponytail. He used to get her tie out whenever she opted to tie her hair. With his naughtiness before he smirked admitting to it. Then his me
Arabella was determined to satisfy him with all of her. She wanted to mark Bill’s entire skin with her teeth so Trishia would know that Bill only belonged to her. Call her vicious but at this point, Arabella didn’t care. She had all the chances she needed tonight as she was clinging to the fact that Bill would remember her in bed. There was a great possibility that his body would return his memory when he got a chance to taste her tonight.Arabella was looking forward to bringing back Bill’s memory of her. How he was so addicted to her body. How he was astonished and how he worshipped her body. Tonight, she would please Bill and let him do whatever he wanted to her body. Though she felt nervous inside, she mustered all her courage to implement what was all her instinct had planned. “Stop!” Suddenly, all her thoughts were shattered when Bill’s voice came out sternly.She looked up at Bill with a questioning look while Bill was looking down at her. “Don’t!” His eyes were sharp
“Can somebody use their brains for a new proposal? Why do I’m giving you such a salary if no one can preach me new ideas?!” Eric roared angrily. “Okay, everyone. Let’s adjourn this meeting. Let’s meet again next Thursday.” Inside a conference room, Rosy took over quickly. “See you,” Rosy added giving all the participants to exit the room.When everyone had already gone, Rosy looked at Eric who was still pissed. His expression was displeased of so much and he seemed to lose all his temper during these days.Knowing Eric her entire life, he was not like that. Eric always practiced the balance of work and personal life thoroughly. He knew how to manage everything calmly and everything was always under his control. It was so unlikely for him to change from his usual self. Rosy never saw Eric lose his temper in front of their colleagues. “Eric, tell me. I know something is bothering you right now. Talk to me now and get a grip on yourself. Will you?” They were best friends since the
“Guys, I don’t think I want to marry. I want to slay this chick first.” One of the men sounded. The giggling of men in the room was too loud but Eric and Hanna were just staring at each other like they didn’t hear any noise. They seemed caught in a different world like they were the only people who exist. Their eyes were like talking to each other but in a complex way. Eric’s eyes were full of hate while Hanna’s were explaining. She was hoping that Eric could hear her out. She wanted to clear her name and she wanted to see once again the Eric she once knew. The cool and down-to-earth Eric. He never judged her for being so poor and he didn’t care what was her work and her poor status in society. He accepted her just the way she was but everything changed. It was her fault but at least Eric should have had the heart to listen to her explanation. But now, Eric had changed completely into a different person. The person she was scared of. There was mocking on his face and some
“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
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
