"May I know who are you, Madam?" Adam asked politely to the person who strode inside his huge room while he was playing a video game. His beautiful big round eyes were puzzled.
"You don't need to know me," Kelly replied with a cold tone. She visited Adam for the first time after her men captured him. She kept him in one of their villas. Since Adam was her son's son, she made sure he got everything he needed. He was well pampered by 10 servants and guarded by several men but she also made sure that Adam couldn't contact any person outside her private compound as she heard that he was a genius in hacking security codes and he was a smart boy.In the villa, there's no internet connection, no telephone lines, no computers, and servants and security men were not allowed to have mobile phones inside. All areas inside and outside the house were monitored by CCTVs. Only walkie-talkies were used to communicate inside the enormous compound. The compound was composed of the main vil“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
“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
