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.
Bill almost finished one bottle of whiskey when his two cousins arrived.
“I’m all ears man, Let’s talk!” Marcus added trying to guess what Bill’s going to lay on the table.
Both of them sat down beside Bill and the latter started to share them about his parents’ demands.
“Woah! Then maybe it’s time for you to get a wife then.” Gab let out a big smile at Bill.
Bill sneered at him as a warning for him to stop joking around.
“Okay then, how about considering the promiscuous Trishia Meyer? You know man, how much she tried hard to get your attention in last night’s banquet.” Marcus suggested with a bright hint of his eyes, expecting to hear an approval from Bill.
Trishia Meyer is the daughter of Senator Gregory Meyer whom expected to run the next presidency in Capital Z. She’s striking beautiful and hot. She’s the perfect definition of ‘Barbie’ with a 100% aggressiveness. Trishia used her money lavishly to track down Bill’s schedule every day that’s why she suddenly appeared wherever Bill is. She is viciously obsessed with him.
“She’s not bad! Uncle Ed and Aunt Kelly will surely love her. She came from a political dynasty family. She has a strong political back-up. It’s going to be a win – win man!” Gab added while sipping whiskey from his glass.
Bill stuck in a deep thinking, he keeps on drinking from his glass and said “Hell no way! As clever as Trishia Meyer, I cannot give her the advantage to tie me up in front of my parents. I cannot give her the satisfaction.” He firmly sees what’s coming with him presenting Trishia Meyer to his parents. That’s a checkmate. He cannot let that happen.
“Oh! So, who’s going to be?” Gab was a bit surprised to his answer while pouring more whiskey to Bill’s glass.
“Well, consider Jane Foster then, if your parents like her then give it to them.” Marcus cut Gab and tapped Bill’s shoulder. Of all people, he knew that his two cousins will end up the same as him when it comes to their marriage it is always been like a business partnership.
Upon hearing the name ‘Jane Foster’ Bill’s mood changed. He was exceedingly irritated and his grip on his glass harden. ‘This woman’s name is a curse.’ He thought while drinking his whisky bottoms up.
After 2 bottles of whiskey, they’ve decided to go home separately. Bill got up first and exited from their VIP room. Outside, he is already accompanied by his personal bodyguard. While they were heading to the basement parking where his driver is waiting, he decided to call his secretary to make arrangements for him. He will let his secretary worry about it.
It’s already 2 a.m., three rings but no answer from the other side. He is now a little agitated.
He is Bill Sky, 1st ring should be answered, that is his mortal rule. As his secretary, you should be willing to give all yourself to serve him 24/7 or you will be punished but of course, it comes with great and reasonable compensation. No one dares to make him wait.
He continued walking in the hallway while holding his phone to his ear when suddenly his lips was invaded by fascinatingly sweet mixed with alcohol taste lips. ‘Shit! Who is this crazy woman?’ He angrily thought while putting his phone back to his pocket.
‘But wait, this kiss is so fucking addictive. These fucking lips are so smooth! I want more!’ There is no way he will let her go just like this. No one can just simply kiss him wherever and whenever they want. He cannot help himself to feel the urge to take her down straight away right there, right that very moment.
In a blink of an eye, George, the bodyguard was dumbfounded. ‘Who’s this crazy woman? Where did she come from? She’s so fucking dead! I am so fucking dead!’ He couldn’t believe that this happened in an instant while he carefully tailing his Boss. When George was about to grab away the girl fast, he stopped. His Boss seemed to enjoy the situation.
George never seen his Boss like this before. So many instances that girls tried flirting him in some high-end occasions but he ended up dragging them out by his Boss’s order. Remembering this, George was again dumbfounded as he couldn’t help watching his Boss’s every actions. Noticing his Boss’s intimacy, he paved his way to the corner and waited for them to wrap up.
Bill suddenly grabbed her waist and closed the gap between their bodies. He held her tight and pressed her body against the wall. With his body cornering her, he crushed her lips and the kiss became torrid until the other party stopped cooperating.
“Oopsie. My Bad!” she smiled seductively at him. In an inch, she stared at the man she just kissed passionately but couldn’t see him clearly. It’s completely blurred. She tried to open her eyes but it seems that her eye glasses were full of moist. She was completely drunk and she was controlled by alcohol. At her drunkenness state, she had to admit that this man is undeniably a good kisser.
Holding his two shoulders, she tried pushing him to free herself from his tight embrace. Using all her strength left, she forced herself to squeeze out from him but it was to no avail. Now she panicked like crazy. Back to her senses, her smile diminished all of a sudden.
‘Who is this jerk? What the hell he’s doing to me?’ Her thoughts are like thunders rumbling loudly in her head.
“Please let me go!” She asked him with begging eyes. Yes! she got it. She cannot solve this by force might as well play like an obedient and adorable puppy to her master.
“Not a chance my Dear! “His voice is very playful yet firm and full of masculinity bearing a big wave of authority. He more tightened his grip to her waist sending shiver and pleasure to her entire body. Plus, his scent was very compelling to her nose. Without seeing the man’s face she already knew that he is a man of elegance and power.
She was extremely satisfied with his every touch that her body was honestly wanting him for more but she can’t let this man do whatever he wants to her. She doesn’t know him. ‘He is a total stranger and a freak!’ she thought.
“Pakk!” a blaring sound came out in an instant from her hand. She slapped him. She slapped the man who just called her ‘My Dear’. She slapped the man whose strength is so overly strong to hers. She struggled crazily trying hard to free himself from this hot rock like chest. ‘Damn this man!’
“Damn this girl!” Bill snapped out from his intimate pursuit. He Suddenly grabbed her two arms and pinned her against the wall using his full strength like on the brink of breaking her body.
Upon hearing the loud sound of slap, George immediately sneaked out from the corner and found out his Boss being beaten by a girl. ‘You are really dead girl!’.
“Do you know me? How dare you put a hand on me? You want to die?” Bill with arrogance, asked angrily to the girl who just slapped her. He is so furious that he could kill. He grasped her neck in one hand. He never been slapped in this lifetime. He is Bill Sky, no one dared to hurt him. He is the leader of the of the ‘Ruthless King’ company. There is no way he will be slapped just like that.
“Let go of me you Freak! I don’t need to know you. I don’t care who you are!” She cried out loud while finding her breath. She will never let this freak wins.
She should be fast. This man is crazy. She will not allow him to kill her. In a wink, she abruptly pounced his balls by her knee with all her strength left.
“Shit! You Bitch!” The man crouched down quickly with unbearable ache inside his body.
She used this freedom to run away swiftly like lightning volts. She disappeared in a split second.
George rushed back to his Boss and helped him stand. With what happened, he saw his Boss bearing the pain with devilishly angry face but what he was scared of was his thought of the girl. ‘Poor girl! Your life is finished!’ George knew his Boss very well. He will not let her run away from him just like that. She can never hide away from him. ‘Even a needle that fell into the ocean, he can find it, what more to this poor girl?’ George’s train of thoughts ran wild while assisting his Boss walking towards his car.
Bill waved his hand and stopped him. He stands firmly and face him with a commanding voice “Get her! Find her! Bring her to me right away!” with a look that could kill, George got the message speedily.
With a nod, “Got it. Mr. Sky.” George respectfully responded.
Feeling satisfied with his bodyguard’s confirmation, he settled himself inside his car and the driver drove smoothly.
In the backseat, Bill closed his eyes while crossing his long legs and leaned his head on the head rest. What happened just a while ago occupied his mind. ‘That bitch!’ This girl really had the nerve to hit him. This angered him to hell. He could feel his blood crazily boiling all over his body. He must find this girl and teach him a good lesson that she will never forget. He’s stuck in a deep thinking again, when the kiss they shared popped out. He couldn’t helped to bit his lower lip. It seemed like he is trying to regain the taste of her lips that stuck to his. ‘Damn that woman!’ he cursed. With a devilish smirk ‘I’ll see you again soon!’
At 10 a.m., Inside Bill’s office, George and his secretary laid a file on his table.
“Sir, as you ordered. I found this information from a reliable source.” George started reporting to his Boss.
Satisfied with his bodyguard’s prompt investigation, Bill carefully read her information.
Name: Arabella Jones.
Age: 25
Residence: Block 45. West Gate Homes.
Occupation: Professional Make-Up Artist
Status: Single
At this moment, he went through scrutinizing her photos.
She wore baggy clothes matching big rimmed eye glasses with a short dry hair. There’s no elegance on her. She looked shabby.
‘This woman is not my type at all.’ He firmly concluded. Thinking of her kiss. ‘Why is her fucking kiss so good?’ Bill exclaimed while closing his thoughts.
“Bring her to me right away!” He suddenly walked towards the 360-degree glass wall overviewing the City.
With his two hands inside his pocket he thought, ‘Arabella Jones, too late to escape from me!’ with a smirked he continued with his gaze outside.
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
Arabella needs to get away from Sky corporation immediately. Fortunately, the executive elevator was already opened. She quickly jumped inside and pressed the button to closed it. She didn’t care about that contract. She didn’t even care about that scheming jerk. Arabella was still puzzled, all her effort to disguise herself was put into vain. Her plan was a complete failure. Arabella thought that seeing Bill Sky with her eye sore appearance would fast track her situation. She imagined leaving Sky Corporation with a winning smile and after, she would have a sumptuous dinner with Farrah tonight celebrating a good result as planned. She never thought her problem would worsen. She never thought it wasn’t easy to offend Bill Sky. Now, there’s this crazy man wanted to marry her in spite of her disguise appearance. Not only that she was also tortured by his charisma and seduction without any traced of disgust. Arabella quickly dialed
Bill Sky looked at the girl beside him in the passenger seat. She sleeps without any care of the world. She had a long nose and a small face with too much freckles on it. She has a fair white complexion but he couldn’t see any curves because of the baggy clothes she wore. She didn’t even change her clothes before going to the bar. Marks of tears were traced on her prickly cheeks. One could easily say that this girl went through hard times. Bill felt a sharp pinched on his heart all of a sudden. His way of thinking was always in advanced. He would never marry a girl that would just use this opportunity to make his life miserable. Bill never wanted to be tied up by a girl. Those girls he knew will definitely do it to him but not this girl. Her strong refusal towards him simply proved that she’s the right person he needed to do the job. “I regretted kissing you” Bill recalled her words before she fainted and f
Bill’s smile and stare gave her different type of chills inside her nerves and veins. He was teasing her as if he is answering her ‘YES!’. Arabella’s heart immediately raced and her insides were trembling. ‘It can’t be!’ She’s sure that she’s still a virgin. She didn’t find any blood stains on the bed. If it wasn’t for her clothes were changed, she’s sure nothing happened. Her virginity is only for her beloved man in the future. Arabella didn’t want to believe that her long-time principle would be taken away that easy. Arabella then heard footsteps that were coming nearer. A manly scent suddenly greeted her nose. Bill narrowed his eyes at her and lifted her chin to face his sinfully handsome face. “If you were mine, you wouldn’t be able to walk for days.” Bill’s words sent a million sensation to her being. His stare was so strong that it penetrated to her whole body. She hated how her body reacted to his words an
“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
