“I would be direct to you also Mr. Jameson. I will not sell my house.” Arabella refuted.
“You can’t do that. If your parents would know this, they would probably not miss this chance.” Mr. Jameson started his negotiation. It was in his voice that he's very eager to buy Arabella’s house.
“Who asked to do this?” Arabella had her clear answer in mind, but she still wanted to hear it.
“No one.” Mr. Jameson replied. “Sky Corporation’s came this morning and expressed their interest in buying the whole compound with a great price assuring it’s the whole compound. And guess what, all house owners were very eager to sell their houses. Now, if you don’t sell your house, can you afford the hates of your neighbors?” Mr. Jameson wasn’t negotiating anymore. He was more putting a pressure to her.
Who would not sell their houses if they could get triple price?
But their
No.She was definitely not one of them. And she was 100% sure of it.Arabella’s heart was thumping more even faster.She wouldn’t lie that she was attracted to him, but it's his personality that scared her a lot. With different women by his side, it made her disgusted. How could she allow her lips to be touched by him knowing his lips were already exposed and had tasted with different models, superstars, politician daughters and business partners?Let alone allow him to touch her body.“So?” Bill’s meaningful question snapped her back to her senses.What did he mean?So?So what?Puzzled, Arabella was lost. Her mind was tired of thinking how to get out the room.Is he really waiting for her to initiate what he wanted?He seemed to be used of approaching those Barbie girls like this. He would just sit there and those girls would initiate everything. No
Bill was full of blood.She was in panic.Even the butler next to him panicked. He was puzzled seeing the mighty Bill Sky in Capital Z entered the house. With his domineering aura, he couldn’t dare not to open the gate for him. His look was scary and his powerful aura sent fright to her butler.“What happened?” Her annoyance fade when she saw blood on his shirt and his forehead but he was still calm. He seemed he was not affected by the blood flowing out from his forehead.She just thought the billionaires were untouchable because of their loads of money, but seeing Bill’s pity face now, she was wrong.“Nothing. It’s just a scratch.” Bill said and walked past her. He strode inside her room and locked the door. The old butler was puzzled.Bill Sky and Young Madame?Like a hedgehog, old butler spikes rose up when he thought how rich was the man in his young Madame’s room.
Bill was right.He didn’t know Amanda Ford.As far as George remembered, she was the one who went to Sky Corporation and used all her means to be the new face of Sky Corporation. Wanting to go up quickly to the pedestal, she tried to use her body to seduce Bill but his boss was too aloof.He didn’t like girls who deliberately threw themselves to him.Ambitious Amanda, didn’t give up. When Bill was invited to be the guest of honor in one of the parties held by the entertainment industry, Amanda appeared with her hired paparazzi.Amanda was one of the usherettes in that party.And the next morning her pictures with Bill spread out all over capital Z.It’s the top search on the internet but in just an hour of the same day, the news about them vanished like a smoke in the air.“You can’t sleep here. Please leave now Mr. Sky.” Arabella hated his domineering aura in
Arabella stopped and frowned. Her look was obviously puzzled with what William had said.“Where are we going?” Arabella asked while still assembling the parts of her tent.“Hmmm… It’s a surprise.” William replied excitedly.“Okay.” Arabella without thinking much answered.It’s William.Her friend and comforter.He’s safe.After everyone had set up their tents, they held games. Arabella joined but she chose a light game for the protection of her baby.“Okay, this time, we will have a message relay. Who wants to join?” Mr. Anderson, the game facilitator said.Arabella raised her hand, but the group was surprised when their director also raised his hand. They thought he would not join such games like this.There were two lines. Two teams, would be competing in this game. The first team who could deliver the correct message would win. The last pe
Arabella eyes grew big.She couldn’t believe what she just saw.Her surprise with Bill’s presence surpassed William’s surprise.‘What is he doing here?’She tried wracking her brain, but she couldn’t find an answer.“Arabella?” William spoke that made her regained her senses.William was still kneeling on the ground while still holding her hand.“William, please get up now.” She said in a low voice.“I need to know your answer.” William met her uneasy eyes.She looked at the crowd again.Then, she looked at Bill again and that’s the only time she noticed Mia on his side.It seemed they just arrived and they witnessed the scene coincidentally.Now, it was clear to her. Bill was here because of his girlfriend Mia.Mia was the CEO of NZ Cosmetics so, it was just right that she was here to join her company’s activi
Struggling moderately from his possessive kiss, Arabella bit his lips and pushed his chest.“Are you insane?” Arabella couldn’t make a loud sound, but her voice was enough for him to hear.Bill didn’t reply instead he lay down and closed his eyes.Is he really going to sleep inside her tent?“Hey!”“Hey!” Arabella made a low sound, shaking and tapping his shoulder.But Bill was unshakable.He didn’t bother to move or open his eyes.The tent that was good for three people suddenly became cramped for them.Arabella felt nervous.Her main problem was how to get rid of Bill tonight without getting the attention of her neighbors.Bill was just too hard headed and stubborn to handle.Obviously, he’s a king to himself.He never followed orders from others.“Mr. Sky, may I remind you that I am a girlfriend now to someone an
Arabella was suddenly taken aback.Bill’s supercilious order made everyone puzzled and terrified.Everyone was holding their breath.There’s something unexplainable in the atmosphere that their eyes kept switching from Bill to Arabella then back and forth.The air suddenly became frosty and an extreme bone chilling could be felt by Bill’s pompous aura.At this moment, Bill was the only person in the group who remained calm and dignified.“Babe?” Mia tried to break the awkwardness. Last night, she knocked Bill’s room and no one answered. She thought he had already gone back to the city, but she was surprised that he did stay overnight.Bill was elegantly sipping his coffee while his sharp eyes fixated on Arabella’s back. He seemed not to hear Mia and he didn’t care about everyone’s thinking around. By the way he stared at Arabella, one could clearly tell that there must be som
Arabella was so amazed with the mansion’s elegant interior. The trademark of a billionaire was screaming inside the mansion. The shiny polished woods and bricks were at their finest and high qualities. In the corner was a chimney and the lightings were warm that reserved the coziness of the place.She thought that she already had entered all the rooms in the house, but still, she could not find Bill.Just when she accidentally tripped a button on the brick wall.The wall automatically slid to the side, revealing a stairway down to the basement. In every step, the pathway lit until she reached a huge door that was slightly open. From her position, she could hear some noise coming out through the open.It made her more curious and strode towards the room. From the small opening, she sneaked to see what’s inside only to find out that the room was dim.Bill was sitting on a leather chair and he was seriously watching on the big screen in fr
“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
