The man pushed her and she was shoved directly to another chest. Then the two men held her arms while another tall man was approaching in their direction.
Seeing the man in the dark, she could tell it was William.
When the man got closer, his mad face revealed.
“Where did you get the idea that you can still escape from me?” William laughed bitterly like a paranoid one.
Her body had stiffened as the two men held her tightly, not allowing her to move.
“What if I tried to escape? Are you going to kill me too?” Gathering her courage, she replied.
“Are you going to kill me like Anna?” She added with annoyance.
Arabella was very nervous and suddenly regretted what she said but it was too late.
Hearing her words, William looked at her dangerously. His expression could kill her in an instant but then he laughed loudly but not a joyous one but a bitter laugh.
“Anna?”
“A
“Sis! Sis! Sis!” William quickly ran to Mia.Seeing Mia on the ground, Arabella also instinctively ran to her but she was suddenly grabbed by a man causing her to stop.“Sis! Sis! Stay with me.” William shouted vehemently crying and laughing at the same time. Mia was his elder and only sister. She took care of him growing up. She always protected him since they were in grade school. When they were kids, his classmates always bullied him and called him ‘paranoid’ but Mia always stood up for him. Even if they grew up, Mia didn’t have a serious relationship because she was always worried about him. When he met Anna, Mia was happy but Anna left him.‘Sis, I found Anna. You have to be happy for me again.” William continued gravely wailing and laughing at the same time.“Brother, give up Anna, she is dead.” Mia with a frail voice refuted as she had already known it a long time ago. Mia look
The picture gave Arabella cold sweat all of the sudden. Now, she confirmed that this was Sharon’s belongings. When she was kidnapped with Sharon and Officer Jackson before, they were not just scheming her, but they really knew something about her father’s case.In the picture was the same woman who she believed was his dad’s mistress. She was the owner of the amethyst earring that had a blood stain of her father. As she remembered it clearly, she saw her in the restroom and ran away in panic. The one in the picture with her dad and the one who wrote a love message with the abbreviation of A.D.What made Arabella shocked the most was that the woman was none other than the wife of the powerful Senator Meyer and the mother of Trishia.A.D was not just an ordinary woman.Arabella heaved in frustration. Caught in complex thoughts, she felt her head was about to crack.How could her father have an affair with Trishia’s mother?
The most important night of Sky Corporation had come. All bosses, employees and VIP guests were all excited to attend. It was the talk of the city as famous celebrities abroad and most influential people in different industries were gathered together in the party.Today, Arabella was caught in the middle of sadness and happiness. Just this morning, she already sent her resignation letter to the HR Manager and she also put one copy on Bill’s table. After tonight, she would quietly disappear and she would never come back again.Putting on her makeup, she smiled as she was avoiding herself not to cry. Though all the makeups she used were waterproof, she still didn’t want to be sad at this time. She knew that the sadness in her heart tonight won’t matter anymore after a year or two. So, she didn’t need to cry. She wouldn’t definitely regret her decision.After glamming up, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. This was her f
The bright blue sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds, then it started to rain heavily.This day marked the darkest day of Sky Corporation and the saddest day of Capital Z.The announcement shocked the country and overseas.Everyone mourned the losing of Ed Sky. People remembered him as a noble man who helped the poor through his charity works and an outstanding leader who always motivated his people.The unexpected turned of events made Arabella changed her departure. She wanted to visit the wake of Ed to pay her last respect, but she knew his family blamed her for everything.After that night at the hospital, she never saw Bill and she never had the chance to defend herself to him. Kelly was surely had cursed her as she never gave her an ear to explain everything let alone Kelly had already believed what she saw.The day had come for Ed’s burial. To avoid any havoc, Arabella hid behind a tree just to attend the ceremony. Eve
One sunny day, the traffic was so bad. It seemed everybody was in a rush. Farrah was in a hurry to meet her client in Hotel Zeus, but she couldn’t get through. There seemed to have an accident that caused the heavy traffic.Then her phone rang.“Yes! Please speak up.” Farrah answered quickly through her Bluetooth.“Ma’am, I just wanted to report that the patient had another attack today. Good thing she was okay now. Your brother arrived on time and she was given a shot to calm her down. She’s already stable now.” The woman on the other line reported.“Good! That’s a good news. Any developments?” Farrah asked the caller with a worried tone.“Dr. Fin said, the patient was not willing to cooperate. She wanted to stay in her sorrow and didn’t want to get out of there. If this would continue, she might lose herself forever.” The caller explained with brief, sad tone.&l
“Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!” A cute chubby boy was climbing into Arabella’s bed. She smiled and pinched his rosy, chubby cheeks.It seemed her dream brought her again to the most tragic part of her life. It happened 6 years ago, but she felt that it happened just yesterday. The time was so cruel to her that even she tried her best not to remember that tragic part in her life, it always came out in her dream every night. Remembering how Bill stood up there without doing anything to save her and his son made her want to vomit in anger.With that, every morning, it was already habitual to her to pinch her son’s chubby cheeks to confirm that she was not dreaming.Her son was alive!She smiled genuinely and kissed Adam repetitively on the cheeks. Seeing her handsome chubby boy every morning made her feel so lucky despite of the tragic past, she suffered at the hand of Bill Sky.That name for her was a curse.She never wa
With the word ‘fatherless’ Arabella was stunned, but she managed to stand up with elegance and with a confident poise.“I didn’t know that bullying in this school is allowed and the person who was bullied would get the punishment. Pls. correct me if I am mistaken Mrs. Principal.” Arabella looked at the old woman who was sitting uneasily. The principle was obviously embarrassed by Ms. Thompson’s confession.Based on how Arabella talked and her arrogant demeanor, the principal was thinking that she was really a professional lawyer. From that moment, she knew that she could not mess up with Arabella or else her position as a principal was at stake.“Ms. Thompson, how dare you to tell lies to me? Please submit your resignation letter right away.” The principal demanded, showing her disappointment look and her full authority to punish her employee in front of Arabella.Ms. Thompson cried with regrets in her
Arabella froze. Her cold sweat came out and her face turned suddenly pale.Adam never did ask her about his father before and she was very thankful for it. She didn’t think this time would come and she was not prepared for it.How could she tell him that his father was the cruelest man in the world?The most despicable.A heartless man.6 years ago, she almost lost her son again.Lying on the ground bleeding and begging for mercy. She looked at Bill but he only had disgusted eyes for her. At her helplessness and most painful moment in her life, Bill let her witnessed him kissing Trishia passionately.Remembering her dark experience, Arabella’s tears instantly came out uncontrollably like a river flowing without no trace of stopping.“Your father… your father is…” She couldn’t continue as the rest of her words were stuck in her throat. All she wanted to say was his father was dea
“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
