"Greta looked at me, huh!?... I'm Mark. I'm your friend. Now, please let go of that gun... Will you?" Mark was asking her nicely. Saving Bill wasn't only his intention but also saving his friend, Greta. Though he felt very betrayed by her, Mark couldn't stay angry with her knowing that he took a big part of Greta's hell. He could not just let himself escape from the responsibility. He believed that he could still convince her as they had been together for a long time and they got good memories together way back in the slum and in the present time. They were inseparable before.Their friendship was proven with time. Greta was his protector in the slum and through everything they had been through, they always had each other's back. "No... I can't!" With a strong refusal in her expression, Greta refuted.Her opposing expression was greatly shown on her face and one could easily say that they have gotten to opposite sides. "What do you mean?" Now, Mark wanted to confront her to cl
“Greta! The senator had called and ordered us to finish that man before his men find him! You will never get the senator disappointed, right?” One of the senators’ men butted in a hurry. He was still holding his phone while he stepped in to give the message from Sen. Meyer. “Shut up!!!” Greta roared loudly scolding the man who dared to interrupt her moment with her longtime companion, Mark. She was still holding her gun pointing at his chest. Mark was standing still not afraid to die while looking at her provokingly.It seemed that he was waiting to see if Greta could really pull the trigger and kill him. His eyes were challenging her fearlessly. He had enough of her deception. The feeling of being betrayed by a friend is the same as dying little by little. Mark’s heart was clenched so heart and it was like cut by a sharp blade slowly feeling his flesh bleed along with his anger at being deceived by a person whom he thought was a family. Whom he thought was a sincere one. Th
Earlier, Hanna woke up in a daze. She was pregnant and was suffering from motion sickness but at this time, her breathing wasn’t good. She didn’t like the smell of the dark place. She felt like she had been sleeping for a long time and she just woke up. Her body was trembling, fragile. Lips were moving soundlessly. Hanna looked around trying to hold on to her remaining strength. She couldn’t see anything in a dim place until someone dragged her hair behind. The force was so strong that she felt her scalp burning. She tried moving but she was stuffed with a rope wrapped around her body.“Who… who are you?” With a shocking staggering tone, Hanna asked. “Huh! I don’t think you know me but I know you!” Trishia answered with a sarcastic tone. “Please let me go. I am pregnant. Please… I have nothing to give you. I am just a poor girl who is living on an isolated island.” Hanna would do anything to save her baby even if she begged a stranger. “Nahhh! You really don’t have any ide
Meanwhile, Mark was escaping with Bill. He was assisting him in his car’s direction with all the gunshots heard inside with Greta fighting with the Senator's men. They were in a hurry. “Arabella… save Arabella…” Bill was still weak but he managed to utter these words."But your wounds... we need to go to a doctor," Mark refuted. Blood continuously dripped on Bill's forehead."No! This is nothing. We go to Arabella now..." Bill exclaimed with a strong determination but with a fragile voice.Mark was lost for a while.He couldn't believe that Bill Sky was risking his precious multi-billion life for a girl. Arabella Jones was magic.She completely changed the arrogant Bill Sky.Mark had studied his brother's romances and he knew it was awful.Very awful...But from what he was hearing now, he completely understood that his brother was in love. Truly, there was magic in this change.An impossible made possible by just one woman.From an arrogant playboy not to mention a demanding on
“Dad…” Again, Hanna managed to speak in a very fragile voice. Blood dripped from her mouth.Her eyes were looking painfully meeting the senator’s soulless eyes. Full of agonizing remorse, the senator broke down.He never thought the day he was going to see his daughter was like this. He just shot her. The blood coming from her, it was his blood. And he did this to her.The intense pain that filled in her eyes was the same pain he saw when he left them. When he left his family and when Hanna's mother died. He knew it all. He was there looking at her but he had no guts to console his only daughter.At that time, he was still focusing on achieving his dreams.Hanna as a child was a distraction for him. Alice would not accept a man who had a child from another woman.He had a reputation to keep. It was only a good reputation for a good reputable family but he promised to find Hanna after he got all that he wanted. After he got all the power and had a lot of money. Now that he
Wobbling and very difficult, the senator managed to carry Hanna, his daughter in a bridal position. Though his stance was too unsteady, Sen. Meyer was very determined to save Hanna and his unborn grandson. His blood was dripping tremendously from her mouth but his eyes were filled with unyielding determination that he could make it out with the only family he had.With Trishia’s bullets pierced inside his body, the old man’s steps were too heavy and hard that one could easily say that they would fall in no time. The senator's body was intensely shaking but it didn't stop him from difficulty dragging his foot to make a step.Arabella was shocked and in disbelief.She never did like the senator but tonight, she could not help but feel pitiful toward him and Hanna. Of all, she knew the senator was the most selfish guy in the world and she could never imagine that he would risk his life over his daughter. She was used to seeing the man so arrogant and so wicked. Like Trishia, he kil
Meanwhile, Trishia was coping with her wounded shoulder. She didn't expect that she would be wounded tonight.It was far from her imagination.Especially, since she didn't expect that Eric Grant would come.He was an intruder and that intruder is not welcome in her plan.Blood was dripping from her shoulder tremendously but she endured. Clenching her fists tightly, Trishia heaved a deep sigh repeatedly. She was still alive.That was just a small cut. She had no time to waste as she was very eager to finish what she had started.Her plan was still not yet finished as Arabella Jones was still alive. She needed to get up, find her and kill her.That was all about tonight. Trishia believed that if she killed Arabella Jones she could go back to Bill Sky. She could probably fix her ruined face with a lot of money. After all, she is his wife. They were married. That was what she thought as she didn't know that Bill had already revoked their marriage a long time after she hid and ma
The city mourned the death of Sen. Meyer. “The death of Sen. Meyer is a great loss to our fellowmen and in this country,” The mayor of the state was making his public speech commemorating the senator live on television. “Ahhh!!!!” Along with a disgustful annoying hiss was a shattering sound of the glass. Trishia threw her glass of liquor to her television screen annoyingly. In her shabby apartment, she rested on an old sofa breathing so painfully due to her wounds. Because she could not go to the nearest hospitals, she had to take care of her wounds all by herself. With the hard liquor and thick cloth, she managed to stop the bleeding from her wounds. She heaved deeply again and again trying to endure the immense pain in her body. Her body could not take any more pain. The burns she got plus the cuts were just too painful but Trishia’s endurance was strong. This was because of her unfinished mission. As long as Arabella is alive and living a good life with the man she loved
“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
