“Go and stay with your mommy. Protect her. Okay?” Bill whispered at Adam.
“Got it, Mister.” Without any hesitation, Adam replied excitedly. His friend was so considerate to give him what he wanted.Adam ran off in Arabella’s direction. They hugged each other tenderly as they both missed each other so much.“Oh my boy, are you okay?” Arabella asked worriedly.“Yes, mom. Remember, I’m the bravest!” Adam wanted to give relief to his mom so he joked but deep inside him, he felt nervous and sad thinking every day about his mom. His concerns were all about her safety because all he wanted was to protect and make her happy.“Silly boy!” Arabella messed up her son’s hair. Her worries faded hugging his lost son. At this moment, she swore not to let go of him again.“This wedding…” Bill suddenly sounded while standing up in front of the crowd.“Bill, don&rs“Young buddy, do you trust me?” Bill asked Adam using a light friendly tone.With full of sincerity, Adam nodded. He didn’t know why but he had been trusting him for the first time he met his stranger friend. He felt safe whenever his with him and he couldn’t decipher the reason for him being so comfortable with a stranger man. Because he grew up without a father, he got the memo early that he should be tough to all men to protect his mom. Even his uncle Damien wasn’t an exemption at first. All he knew was that he trusted Bill.“That’s good,” Bill said while messing up his shiny short hair.“Here’s the thing buddy. Your mom is tired of playing her piano so you have to give her something to drink inside the mansion. Okay?” Bill instructed him very carefully almost whispering not to be heard by Trishia on his side.“Hmmm...” Adam nodded. “But mister, my kidnappers were guarding the
Earlier,“Sir someone wanted to sabotage the video presentation.” One of Bill’s men reported discreetly. “Identity?” Bill asked.“Winston Ford.” His man answered.Bill nodded. “Allow him,” Bill ordered calmly. Years ago, he asked someone to investigate Winston. Bill knew his background and what he was up to beforehand. He also knew about him and Trishia and his unyielding revenge for his sister.After Adam swiftly ran away,“Adam! Adam!” Arabella cried out his name but Adam was quick to escape Bill’s men. His tiny figure was a good advantage for him to easily sneak from them and exit the venue.“Bring my son back! Do whatever it takes to bring him back!” Bill was talking to a man in his Bluetooth earphone.“Then lock the city!” He ordered. The media was satisfied by the big scopes they were getting at the event. Bill raised his hand signali
“Damien, Adam… Adam went away.” Arabella called Damien who was waiting for them outside the venue where Arabellaspecifically instructed.“What?” He replied almost shouting. “Calm down. Tell me what happened.” Damien asked trying to also calm his shock. “He already knew about his dad.” She answered with a cold tone inside Bill’s car. They were driving in her apartment’s direction. Bill looked at her with a displeased expression. He seemed to have a very big offensive question mark on his face. Arabella saw his expression but didn’t mind him. She was pissed with him but she opted to be with him as she knew he was the only one who’s capable of finding her son. In her thought, Adam would probably go home. On the second thought, he might drop by at the park. “Damien, please do me a favor. Please call Lira if ever Adam would show up to her.” It was almost sunset and that
The call ended after another gunshot was heard and another. With the gunshots, everyone headed in its direction. With the help of two helicopters, it was easy for them to trace the commotion in a big forest.Bill and Arabella arrived panting. Arabella’s heartbeat was unsteady. She felt like dying hearing the gunshots. Her mind was full of Adam. She prayed sincerely while she was running in the direction.Her cold sweats suddenly came out seeing the person on the ground covered with blood.“Trishia!” Her heart skipped a beat. Trishia was bleeding on the ground. “Bill!” Trishia with a soft voice called out his name. Trishia was struggling in pain. Bill walked closer to her. “I saved your son.” She uttered softly with difficulty in breathing.“Thank you,” Bill replied. “That video…. It’s… not… true.” Trishia sounded in her painful state.Bill did
“Thank you for visiting me, mom.” Trishia looked very weak as she tried to utter her words sincerely to Kelly.“Why did you give your life to Adam?” Kelly sounded strictly and aloof.“Mom, as I told you, I love your son very much,” Trishia answered weakly. “If I can give my life to his son, I can also give all of me to him.” Trishia continued in a pitying tone. She was determined to get Kelly on her side and her situation right now was an advantage.“I don’t know Trishia but you already broke my trust,” Kelly said with a cold tone. “Mom, about that video, it was not true. You know me and you know in your heart that I’m that kind of girl.” Trishia implored. “For now, I can’t promise you anything.” Kelly was still hurt with the turn of events. She treated Trishia as her own daughter and put her hopes on her to be the best life partner for her son. “I l
“Young master, good morning!” The familiar security guard in Sky Corporation greeted Adam with a bow. Adam just nodded at him and strode inside the building. With the little boy’s sudden presence, the busy crowd in the building stopped and bowed at Adam. He nodded at them with a cold stern face like his father that made everyone wonder. When they first saw Adam, he looked like a sweet gentle boy too different from a cold aloof boy who was in the reception.“Good morning, young master!” The receptionist tried her best to please her boss’ son. She was fully aware that the kid in front of her was the only heir of the company so there’s no room for mistake.“I want to see my…. Mr. Sky.” Adam uttered uncomfortably.The receptionist was quite stunned but she quickly recovered. Her smile was never leaving her face as she said, “Please follow me. I will bring you to your father.” “Pleas
"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
