Arabella was dumbfounded. She slowly lifted her head to see if what she heard was true. Her mind could not process the announcement as she was very baffled by Bill’s presence. The man carried an intimidating wind which made everyone stiffen. Seeing Bill, the Senator seemed back to his gorgeous typical aura way opposite to his impatient looking earlier. He also thought that Bill would not appear tonight but somehow, he had hopes and strong beliefs that Bill Sky would not let Arabella Jones down. Now, he confirmed that he was not mistaken.Wearing a black tuxedo, Bill seemed to attend a grand formal party and he left just to rush in there but his expression had no trace of rushing. He was still calm and dignified. Arabella fancied how he managed to allure everyone with his good looks and powerful demeanor. Now that, she knew everything, she was seeing him as a prince charming trying to save her. Though there were still doubts inside her, she just hoped that she could thank him
Eric had been living abroad for a while and worked in his head office, visited Rosy, and hung out with some of his guy friends but it didn’t work the way he wanted it to be. Most of the time, Rosy was there for him. That girl just wanted someone to talk to a lot to forget the unexpected grief in her family. His uncle Byer was always drunk and wasted. Obviously, his guilt was eating him up because of the death of his wife caused by him. Eric could feel Rosy was trying to keep up but was already aloof from her father. Their relationship seemed to have no chance at all as Rosy was also blaming him for her mother's death.Because of her father’s mistress, the disaster for her family took place. The house that was once a home suddenly became hell. Eric cursed the girl who caused them grief, especially the death of his loving Aunt. Earlier, Eric was frustrated. It had been months that he kept himself busy but there was no progress on forgetting the masked girl.Every time he goes t
Hanna… Hanna is the girl with many names. Hanna is the person Eric blamed for ruining his family. Hanna is the person he hated the most.Hanna is the person who he cursed. Eric could feel his heart was being clenched so hard. He just confessed his love to her and they almost make love if the call didn’t push through. How could Hanna become that person?A mistress?A homewrecker?A reason for some of the wives' suicides?The reason for a happy family is ruined?Eric could not hold a grip on his anger. His shocked expression quickly turned into anger as he gnashed his teeth while his furious eyes bore into Hanna. ‘How dare you deceive me?’ Eric’s eyes were like killing Hanna already. They were full of disgust and mockery. On the other hand, Hanna felt guilty for deceiving Eric. At first, she tried to forget about him but it was very hard for her. Maybe because she already loved him. She just wanted to live in the moment being with him. Her heart was already connected to
“Eric! Wait! Let me explain!” Hanna had found a chance to see Eric at the exit route. He was about to get inside his car when she saw him. She suddenly had the urge to tell him the truth and she wanted to apologize to him for deceiving him. Eric turned around with his sharp eyes. She felt scared. It was the Eric who she saw before who had full of hate in his eyes. They seemed like a deep abyss filled with disgust and anger mixed into one and they were swallowing her pulling her soul inside them to make her sin be paid and her guilt would kill her eventually. “You! Stay away from me!” Eric with a controlled temper hissed. “If I will see you again, I swear that I will hurt you to hell that you are just going to beg at me to die. Do you understand?” He added. His expression was horrifying and Hanna didn’t see any mercy in his killer eyes. With the bearing of his tone, she instantly felt scared. She quickly trembled inside as she clenched her fists hard to stabilize her breathin
“Bill! Here!” Trishia suddenly appeared. “Trishia?” Bill frowned while he uttered her name. “Why are you here?” He asked. “I just happened to hear my father’s plan. So, I came to rescue you.” Trishia answered reasonably. Hearing Trishia, his frowning got deeper as he smirked. Trishia couldn’t see the doubt in Bill for her but she couldn’t also see that he believed in her. No matter what, she would just stick to him until the end. “I have to go,” Bill uttered and went in another direction. Trishia was pissed but somehow, she managed to control it as her plan was almost halfway. Carrying her gun, she followed Bill until she saw the awful scene in the backyard of the warehouse. Trishia hid in the corner waiting for the perfect timing. She was smiling and having fun watching Jackson and Sen. Meyer on the ground. Just when Jackson was about to finish the Senator, that was the time Trishia appeared. She shot the man called Jackson. He begged for his life but she was not the ty
“Damien, just let Arabella.” Lira was chasing Damien who was still in panic finding Arabella’s way out. He was so annoyed that Arabella had escaped from him and he was more annoyed with himself for letting her go. “What are you saying, Lira? Arabella is out of her mind! Do you see her? She doesn’t know how to stop until she will kill herself for that stupid Bill Sky!” Damien was very angry just uttering Bill’s name. He blamed Bill for making Arabella so miserable. The girl didn’t deserve a life full of bitterness and sorrow. Now, Arabella was acting as if nothing happened. She was acting like Bill was a hero and it made Damien angrier. “I know... Calm down, will you? We can find her and we can solve this together. Okay?” Lira was trying to put the flame down.She could not get pissed off with Damien. She was with him all the way and she had no plan to leave his side.Damien heaved a heavy sigh as he tried to cool down his temper. He seemed to know his temper would get them no
Damien was stupefied. He didn’t expect Arabella would trick him and so did Lira. She thought Arabella would agree to her words but she was mistaken. Arabella ran off like a thunderbolt. Though her body was weak, Arabella was very determined to get Bill Sky from Trishia Meyer. They couldn’t just believe how Arabella changed her mind and heart just like that. How did her hate become so aggressive in wanting him? The person she hated the most was now the person she wanted badly. She was claiming Bill Sky and she was so determined to break Bill’s and Trishia’s engagement.“Lira, what are you standing there? Let’s go and find her before the worst things could happen.” Damien was the one who first recovered his senses. He knew how Arabella worked if she was too aggressive. He could not let her get close to Bill Sky. Judging the situation, Damien could already decipher that there was something wrong.Aside from Arabella’s change of heart, he was sure Bill didn’t accept her because
In this world, everything is temporary. We fight for our happiness and we endured all the pains hoping that someday everything would be all right. Someday, everything would be in favor of our advantage. That everything would be all worth it. The pain would turn into happiness. Sadness would just become a funny tale in the future. Where worries no longer exist and were replaced by security and satisfaction. Those were Arabella's thoughts before making her decision to live with Trishia and Bill. The new couple seemed a challenge for her because Bill was totally changed into a different person. He spoke about his love for Trishia in the public. Arabella never heard him talking about anything that had something to do about love. For one month, after that hideous night, Arabella believed that Trishia was controlling the situation with Bill Sky. For him to change that quickly, Arabella believed that Trishia was doing something bad behind Bill and to all of them. She could not p
“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
