“How’s everything?” Mark jumped to the sofa beside Greta who was still very eager to see any updates of Bill Sky on the television.“Nah…” Greta just shook her head with great disappointment. "Should I go to the hospital and check?" She added with eyes sparked in excitement. “Greta… don’t act rashly. Remember that you are a prisoner who just escaped. If someone would see you, you will be doomed.” Mark tapped her shoulder reminding her about her situation. Since her case was attached to Mr. Bill Sky, Mark’s connection could only help Greta to escape from prison but never erased her criminal record. Though Trishia deliberately stabbed herself, Greta’s intent to kill Trishia was there and even if she would testify about Trishia’s killing herself, no one would believe her. With Bill Sky’s connection, Greta had to hide carefully or she would go back to prison in no time and without getting her revenge on Trishia for killing her sister. “But… you know I can handle those idiots,” Greta
“Bill, what is it?” Arabella was quite stunned and her nervousness never dissipated. She was skeptical of Bill’s plan though she knew Bill was the most capable man who could stop the viciousness of Trishia and the Senator. Of course, these people could kill them all and Adam. Just thinking about her son who was still lying in the next room, her heart shrank.Bill suddenly smirked at her meaningfully seeing her nervous expression. “Come closer. I’ll tell you, my plan. It’s confidential.” Bill couldn’t move as his body was numb and pained in one. Arabella was a bit hesitant to get closer as her thought was also with Trishia. What if she was going to come inside and she was caught talking with her husband?Surely, she would make a big drastic scene again. Trishia was an envious person and could do anything according to her emotions. Arabella didn’t fear her but she just didn’t want to step over any boundaries as Bill was married to Trishia. “What’s wrong?” Bill asked frowning de
“Boss, I got a lead. Bill Sky… Bill Sky is still alive.” Greta announced seeing Mark eating in the dining room quietly. He was always eating alone like he wanted to be reminded that he had nothing because of his brother. His father abandoned him and he was not worthy of their acceptance. Mark was living inside the sturdy walls he built around him. His life was too dark because of the walls surrounding him and revenge was all he wanted. “Hmmm…” He just answered Greta with a hum like he was not interested in the topic.“What is our next plan now?” Greta was so excited about their next move. She missed killing Bill Sky but she swore that there would be no lapses the next time around. She would make sure that all people who offended them would be together in hell including Bill Sky, Trishia Meyer, Adam Sky, and Arabella Jones if she would put herself in the situation. “You will know soon, Greta,” Mark answered continuing his eating quietly. “Okay,” Greta nodded repeatedly. She di
“What the hell? What are trying to do, huh?” Trishia was roaring madly outside. “Madame, this is Mr. Sky’s order.” The man announced firmly. “Call me Mrs. Sky, you idiot!” Trishia wanted to hit the man because of her intense anger but other men grabbed her arms. “Sorry, Mrs. Sky we are just following orders.” The man answered Trishia as mandated by her husband. “Ahhh!!! You are useless!” Trishia shouted louder. “Sweetheart, I’m here outside. Let me in now.” Trishia was screaming loudly for Bill to hear. "I will make sure that all of you will get fired!" She added with bulging eyeballs and popped-out veins due to her intense annoyance.Arabella jolted as she quickly withdraw herself from Bill Sky while Bill was unaffected by Trishia’s scandalous shouting. “Bill, I have to go,” Arabella said in a soft voice trying to snatch her arm from Bill. “Are you afraid?” He asked frowning.Arabella nodded. She didn’t want to create another chaos. “Okay… I’ll handle her. Just promise me one
Mark broke down as he punched the steel bars repeatedly and shoved himself on the floor in a very dispirited stance.The passing of Mr. Hendrick was another heavy blow for him. The cops had calmed down seeing Mark stay rooted on the ground. They left him alone allowing him to mourn his loss.“Mr. Collins, we found this piece of paper inside Mr. Hendrick’s fist, and was gripped hardly.” After a while, one officer dared to interrupt Mark as he handed him a strip of paper with handwritten words. Mark’s sharp eyes landed on the paper first. He stared at it deeply before he got it from the officer without any word.The officer quickly ran off.Still bursting with dangerous anger, Mark opened the crumpled paper and read the words on it. ‘I told you so… don’t mess up with me.’ B.S.The words written on the paper were mere answers to his questions. B. S.The person who awfully made this to Mr. Hendrick is none other than Bill Sky. Extreme anger surged up in Mark’s eyes. His heart was
The next morning, finally, Arabella was free. It was a great relief for her that her marriage with Eric Grant had finally ended but then, she could not get that complete satisfaction she badly needed. Arabella was still in a situation where she was unsure of the rapid things that happened to her and Eric’s question last night still kept on lingering in her mind. She wanted to forget it and tried her best to get rid of it from her mind.She wanted to believe that Bill truly loves her and that his love is enough for the both of them to be happy.Arabella wanted to trust Bill's love but she was always reminded of Eric's question last night.It was like a boomerang that kept on bouncing in and out of her mind unstoppable.Whatever she did to erase the question was ineffective so until now, she was still restless.Arabella wanted to talk to Bill urgently about this matter but she had no way to do that. If Bill was still in the hospital, surely, Trishia was the one holding his phone.Tr
“So, Arabella, I think we need to have a vacation before you indulge in this business more seriously, what do you think guys?” Rosy was the cunning socialite in the group. A very sophisticated and smart woman which was why men would probably stay away from her because of her high standard and that is why she still remained single nowadays. Arabella just smiled at her sweetly. She had not been on a vacation for a long time maybe Rosy was right but still she was hesitant about it. Her mind was still quite messy. How could she forget about her heartaches?How could she easily forget about Bill Sky?And the dream she thought they would achieve together. When she waited for him in the penthouse, she felt she was very close to achieving her dream. She put all her trust in Bill that he would make her dream come true.Her dream is to be with him and her son Adam and they would live together happily.But everything shattered again.Her trust and her heart were broken again.She smiled a
“Helen, what’s wrong with you? Look around you, everyone is so busy. Please, help the others. Will you?” Mr. Harry was a bit annoyed already for his waste time talking to Helen. “Come, I will introduce you to our guests.” Then, Mr. Harry grabbed Helen hurriedly but Helen stopped him. “What’s wrong? Why you are so pale?” Ms. Dally who was just listening and busy putting the glasses on the tray butted in. “Ah…. Nothing.” Helen answered uneasily.Mr. Harry jolted and frowned deeply. He looked at Helen like he was studying her expression. “Helen, listen to me.” Mr. Harry was a considerate man toward Helen. All the servants in the resort lived on the island and Mr. Harry hired Helen to help her when she moved into the island. He saw Helen was good and easy to be trained for all the work in the resort. The only problem was she was always late and since she was pregnant, she was always sick. Mr. Harry helped her cover up her absences but then later, the owner of the resort seemed t
“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
