“Mom, if you love dad, why did you let him marry another woman?” Sitting on a bench shaded with a big Mahogany tree, Adam and Arabella calmed their minds and hearts for a while. They needed this scenery and the fresh air to mend all the ruckus they felt inside. It’s been a very long time since they hadn’t done this. Who would have thought that they could hang out in a park again after their lives were unexpectedly twisted?Who would have thought that she would be separated from her only son who she raised for a long time?It was only Arabella’s dream before that she could bring her little boy to the park again. She hadn’t seen Adam for a long time and she didn’t expect that her dream would come true because of Bill’s wedding. In her dream, Adam was smiling at her happily while they were playing balls or just chasing each other’s full of laughter around the huge playground not like this one. Her boy was so dispirited like he lost something. Arabella felt him. Even in herself, s
The two men were left alone with overwhelming tension circulating the air. Mark was looking at Bill who was also staring at him dangerously. Mark’s annoying smile didn’t leave his face.He was satisfied with Bill's angry reaction toward him.This man was too hard to get his attention and interest in something as he was always dignified and too full of himself. Bill Sky is always collected and this time, he triumphantly broke his arrogant temper. Provoking him made Mark happy even though he was in pain now. It didn’t matter to him as long he made Bill Sky angry. “What now brother, are you going to kill me now?” Mark smiled teasingly. “I don’t care what you wanted to do but do not ever humiliate my dad in front of anyone!” Bill roared angrily as he gripped Mark’s collar tightly. His sharp eyes pierced into Mark’s eyes dangerously. “Oh, you mean to say, our father,” Mark wasn’t threatened by Bill’s stare and action. He could hurt him so badly but it was part of his revenge on t
Mark was still looking at the sealed pack on the ground. He was still in a daze about the new revelation of his identity. He was contemplating whether to know or discover everything because he used to believe that he was a family member of the Sky. He only believed that for a long time with his memory of his father Ed Sky. He couldn’t forget when his mother brought him to his father’s office for the first time. Its purpose was to introduce him to his father but he didn’t acknowledge him. He scolded his mother and went away leaving them alone. Mark couldn’t forget his mom’s cry that time. It pierced into his ears which made him angry at his father at a very young age and carried it as he was growing up. His mom’s cry made him what he is now. A vengeful boy who went through hell and survived to avenge his mother and him. Now… what the heck they were trying to do?For Mark, it was another prank from the Sky. He wasn’t born yesterday to just be deceived just like this. Growin
Though the wedding stopped without a proper ending, Trishia was happy enough that Bill was coming home for their matrimonial night. Her excitement was up to the sky imagining that they would finally do the wild things in the bed. It was one of her long-time dreams and now, Bill was on his way. She had to prepare for this night. She wanted to be all perfect. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Trishia smiled satisfyingly. Then she chose the most erotic fragrance that could flare up the night. She also put on an expensive lotion to make her skin so soft for Bill’s touches. A sweet lip balm to trigger irresistible kisses. Tonight, she wore the sexiest nightgown in her closet. Put red rose petals on their matrimonial bed and lit up a scented candle forming the shape of a heart to surprise her husband. When everything was perfect in her eyes, Trishia heaved a sigh. ‘So, this is what it feels like being a queen…” She stretched her arms in the air and smile triumphantly like
The commotion outside the emergency room was palpable but the security of the hospital was well-trained enough to quickly close the area from the other people in the hospital. Only those people who were tailing Trishia who were mostly high-ranking doctors had the chance to watch the scene in front of them. They stood still waiting for Trishia to release them but it seemed the latter wanted to have some witnesses to her wicked plan. Without an audience, there was no embarrassment. Trishia was in the entertainment industry and she was used to big cameras, crowds, and different kinds of scenes. What more? Trishia loved it a lot and she already missed her fame and acting so much but since she couldn’t come back to acting right now, she might as well make a good scene for everyone who wanted to watch them. But this time, she was the main character and at the same time, the director of this drama. Thinking about this, Trishia could not hide her wicked grin. Tonight, she was lucky t
“Bill! Why do you need that woman, huh? Mom is here. Your wife is here. We are here, come on, honey, I think you need more rest.” Kelly was the one who quickly recovered from the shock. She couldn’t believe Bill was going to seek Arabella Jones after he regained his consciousness. Kelly quickly strode to Bill’s bed. While Trishia was still gritting her teeth in annoyance trying to control her temper. Why is it still hard for her to enter Bill’s life when she had gotten what she wanted? Why she still felt an outsider to Bill Sky after marrying him? Trishia heaved a heavy sigh to stabilize herself. She had to control her anger towards Arabella Jones because even her absence annoyed her a lot. What did Arabella Jones give Bill Sky that he could not get enough of her? That woman was just his ex-wife and she was his new wife. She could not help to giggle in irritation inside cursing Arabella Jones in her mind repeatedly. “Sweetheart… sweetheart… are you, okay? Do you need anythi
“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
“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
