"Bill, son, I'm your mother. I'm your only family." Kelly still couldn't believe that her son was defending a woman for the very first time.
Kelly couldn't just stand that the woman whom her son wanted was Arabella, the murderer of her husband.It would have been okay with her if not Arabella even if Bill would choose the poorest girl in the city but just not her. Kelly swore before in front of Ed's body that she would not allow Arabella to enter their family. She would not let it happen as her promise to her late husband.
Now that Bill was the one who's making the way, she knew it was the beginning of catastrophe in their family.
"Bill, that woman! Remember your dad. She's the...." Kelly refused to give in. For her, she was just saving her son from great damage before it was too late.
"She's the mother of my child." Bill deliberately cut her off.
Arabella felt the intense tension in the air. Adam was quick to hide his mom's back seeing Kelly
Kelly was staring at the ceiling of her house while she was leaning on the backrest of a sofa. She was very exhausted after the inevitable fight with her son, Bill. What she was afraid of was seeing his son protecting the woman who killed her husband. It was the first time that Bill had anger in his eyes for her. Ever since Bill was a good son. He never fought with her. Though he was aloof and cold, she could understand it. Kelly knew her son gave up his childhood and his youth for Sky Corporation. At a very young age, he was a self-made billionaire and she was always proud of her son’s achievements.Kelly closed her eyes remembering Bill as a little boy. Admittedly, Adam was really a xerox copy of Bill when he was young. If it wasn’t for Arabella, she could have been a great grandmother to Adam. When she opened her eyes, intense loneliness filled the air. Her huge living room had no one and became very lonely. Her huge family house became a very sad place. Th
6 years ago, Bill did an investigation about the incident at the Sky Anniversary. All shreds of evidence were pointing to Arabella. He had to bury a father at that time but still, he had to find out the truth and wanted to believe that she was innocent.At the party, when Kelly urged him to introduce Arabella to everyone as his wife, he agreed without any hesitation. As for him, even when her mother had not urged him, he would still introduce her as his wife. He was ready to embrace his life with a wife and ready to give up all his women. After he tasted Arabella, from that moment, he realized that she was all he ever wanted.She satisfied him in the bed and that all matters to him. That was just at first but somehow even though he was not willing to admit it, deep inside he knew Arabella gave him calm. She made him sleep soundly and did all the things he was not used to. She also made him the maddest person with her stubbornness but she could easily pacify him with her sm
DIVORCE CONTRACTArabella was dumbfounded. She came there for Adam but she didn’t expect Bill would finally hand her their divorce contract. Finally, she would have no tie of him anymore. Her eyes grew in surprise as she smiled happily.“Wow! This is a pleasant gift, Mr. Sky. Thank you very much.” Arabella sounded cheerful. She was very excited to affix her signature on it as she strode towards his desk and got a pen. Her hand was shivering in excitement. Who would have wanted to miss the opportunity that she had long waited?Her freedom.After her eyes landed on a pen on his desk, Arabella signed the documents quickly without reading the legal inclusions of the document. Bill studied the woman in front of him who was very eager to sign the paper. His eyes darkened when all he could see on her was happiness and excitement.“Here.” She excitedly reached him the contract with her signature. “Now, get out of my ho
“Bill, my son. I don’t want to go back to the villa. All I can feel there is loneliness.” Kelly sounded on the phone. “Hmmm.” Bill just muttered.“I want to stay in your place my son. I want to be with you and Adam. I want to know my grandson well.” Kelly added convincing Bill. It was true that she felt lonely inside her big mansion but her mere purpose was to prevent Arabella from entering her son’s life again. She swore to make her life a living hell if she would even try to step into her son’s house.Driven with her anger and revenge for Arabella, Kelly had buried a long time ago her good relationship with her and her family.“Okay.” Bill just answered plainly."That made my day! Then expect me tomorrow my son." Kelly answered excitedly. Now that her son allowed her to stay in his house, she could guard and protect Bill and Adam from Arabella and Kelly was very sure that Arabella had zero
“Lira, you know I like you,” John sounded sincere.In the club, the two were drinking after they finished the meeting with their clients.“What?” Lira replied acting like having difficulty of hearing because of the loud music. She heard him but she was so surprised by his sudden confession.“I said I like you!” John shouted loud while drawing himself to her.“I’m sorry but the music is too loud. I can’t hear you!” Lira shouted too. She was not ready for John as her heart only belonged to one person. That person was none other than Damien Lewis.John drew himself closer. Lira was alarmed but didn’t make it obvious but suddenly John grabbed her and kiss her.Lira was shocked and her eyes grew wider. She hurriedly pushed him. “John, you are drunk!” She said in a nice way but still in shock by his sudden attack. His kiss made her so uneasy.“I like you, Lira.&rdqu
“Trishia!” Kelly called her on the phone. Her voice was desperate and frustrated.“Mom?” Trishia was surprised by Kelly’s sudden call. She was still in the hospital and wanted to stay there longer as she was not ready to face the outside world after her scandal at the wedding.“You have to act fast! That woman….” Kelly shouted in a displeased tone. “That woman is living with Bill now.” She continued not wanting to mention Arabella’s name. Kelly’s resentment towards Arabella was unfathomable that even mentioning her name made her very furious.Earlier,Kelly was excited to arrive at her son’s house. Finally, she could get over her loneliness in her villa. For so many years she was living there, she tried hard to continue her life without Ed Sky. She had many servants who accompanied her every day. Bill would drop by sometimes to have dinner with her. She did lots of travel and shoppin
After Adam left, Arabella had planned to visit her mom and she had no plan to go back inside Bill’s car but she had a problem. The school ground was too big for her to reach the gate on foot. If she would not get lost, she could estimate it to reach the gate approximately 1 and half hours by foot.She heaved a sigh of frustration. She suddenly regretted it to follow her stubbornness. She should have entered Bill’s car then secretly asked the driver to stop at the gate. Well, her regret was already late so she continued walking finding the way to the main gate. At first, she enjoyed walking and seeing the wide ground in the school. Inside, it has a big lake that was well maintained with beautiful landscaping and garden surrounding it.She then thought of Adam. If it wasn’t for his rich father, Adam would have not experienced the beautiful luxurious school. Judging from Adam’s face earlier, all she could see was all excitement. It made her heart
“Welcome, Adam!” A remote-controlled mid-size white panda robot greeted Adam when he entered his new classroom. The robot was carrying an LED board with lit letters prompting it. WELCOME ADAM“Awesome!” Adam sounded so amazed as his smile was up to his ears. He had not seen a real robot in real life. His excitement reached to peak when he saw how huge the classroom was for only 5 students. There’s an area for an experimental laboratory. A boy was standing there waving at him. Then in the corner, there are some parts of metals and welding equipment like a mechanic room. One boy was also standing there and waving at him. A boy who had his own library was sitting behind his big table and a wide glass board on the wall covered with handwritten formulas and equations. Another boy was standing in his office. He looked like a diplomat in his black suit and tie. In the middle were a big table and a huge wall-mounted screen and keyboard. Without askin
“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
