“You will see Farrah after our dinner tomorrow. My secretary will give you the detailed information about our fake romance. Study it thoroughly tonight. There should be no room for mistake in front my parents. My dad has a sharped eye on that.” Bill added seriously.
Arabella realized his seriousness on this matter. She knew that he couldn’t afford to disappoint his parents.
She had the most important role in this show.
“For such an important role, why me?”
There was a moment of silent.
“I trust you.” Bill then whispered on her ear and pat a quick gentle kiss on her forehead then walked away.
Arabella was stunned by his words. She was left in his office alone and still couldn’t move. “I trust you.” These words were too powerful. ‘What? How can the mighty CEO in the city trust her?’ ‘Is it a compliment for her or just another scheme?’ her thoughts were flooding uncontrollably.
Arabella went out and the secretary handed her
The afternoon gone very fast. Arabella clenched her fist while she entered the hotel where she’s going to meet Bill Sky. In a grand restaurant, she was ushered by a receptionist into a VIP room. The room was spacious and elegant that as only for the kings can afford. Arabella immediately saw Bill Sky sitting alone with a news magazine on his hand. Bill was so attractive and his aura was so powerful. ‘How can this man look so very sexy even if his just reading a magazine?’ Arabella gulped while her heart was racing. “I’m here.” She walked forward to him. “Have a seat. My parents were coming in a minute.” Without gazing at her, he said. Arabella simply obeyed and sat beside him. Infront of them where 2 chairs for his parents and inside the room, she saw 3 chefs on standby.
Arabella was not ready for the sudden twist of the situation. Her planned was to just see Farrah after dinner not to sleep together with Bill Sky. She was like in a maze trying to find her way out. “Okay then, let’s call it a night.” Ed was quick and just waved his hand to bid good night. “Goodnight Darling.” Kelly hugged her tenderly and Bill. Arabella felt very guilty of Kelly’s delicate action that she couldn’t afford to disappoint her. Kelly was like her mom. Warm but fragile. Arabella missed her mom suddenly. “Goodnight too Mom.” Arabella said instinctively. Kelly looked at her sweetly very satisfied of Arabella’s word and waved her hand while walking away. Bill was stunned and looked at her like questioning her of what she’d said. “She asked me to call her that.” Arabella explained afraid
Arabella woke up like she was in a cloud 9. She felt very comfortable on a soft bed and a very warm pillow on her embrace. She hugged her big soft tighter with all her body clinging on it. Arabella smiled and slowly opened her eyes when she realized she was lying on Bill Sky’s arm. She was hugging his body with one leg on his thigh and her one arm clinging on his back. She quickly removed her body from him in a very slow action afraid that Bill might caught her hugging him. Bill was still sleeping calmly. His handsome face was very delicate and peaceful different from the arrogant Bill Sky when he is awake. Arabella was about to lift the quilt to move on the other side but her arm was grabbed by a big strong hand. She immediately dragged back to her position earlier. Their bodies touched again. The electricity in Arabella’s body was awaken. “Let’s sleep a littl
“Mom, calm down. What about dad? Tell me!” Arabella had sudden goosebumps. Intense nervousness caught her senses. “Arabella your dad was shot. He was now in the emergency room fighting for his life. I’m on my way there now.” Her mom was crying heavily on the other line. She suddenly froze. She felt like a bucket of ice was being poured to her. “What’s the name of the hospital mom? I will go there now.” Her tears suddenly rolled down uncontrollably. “Sky Medical Care Hospital.” Her mom wept on the other line. “I’m on my way now.” Her silent cried became tumultuous. Farrah panicked when she heard Arabella’s loud weeping. “What happened?” Farrah asked. “My dad. Was in the hospital. He is in a critical condition.” She quickly told Farrah while sobbing. “What?” Farrah quickly jumped out from the bed, got her coat, car key and chase Arabella that already exited in the room. In a flash, they arri
“What?” Arabella was stunned and couldn’t believe what she had heard. “Check it out. It’s all over the news.” Farrah said with amusement. Arabella quickly browsed the updated news online. ‘Top-notch bachelor, CEO Bill Sky of Sky Corporation was engaged to the famous actress Ms. Trishia Meyer, the only daughter of Senator Gregory Meyer. Trishia Meyer was famous in Capital Z because aside from being the most popular actress, she also came from a family of powerful politician. Her dad was expected to run for the presidency next and also expected to win. Arabella read the whole story. She felt quite at lost. For some any reason she felt a sharp sadness in her heart that she couldn’t explain. ‘Gosh. Why do I feel this way? What we had was nothing. It’s just a chaotic messy encounter which include pestering, teasing and scheming.’ Her thoughts tried to calm her heart. Maybe because this role was offered to her once. Maybe they had ki
Arabella’s face turned instantly pale. Her heart was beating fast. She felt very cold inside the room but she felt her forehead was sweating a bit. She was left in daze for a while. She looked the spotlight direction and she clearly saw Bill Sky with alluring handsomeness. His facial expression was still cold as usual bearing a powerful aura. The crowd became more livelier now specially the women. They giggled exaggeratedly seeing the richest and the most handsome CEO in Capital Z in the room. It seemed that he was used to this kind of popularity that he has 6 bodyguard around him. His bodyguards were wearing black suits and tie, they were like his shields from bullets and obviously women who can’t withstand their intense desire towards him. For some reason that she can’t explain, Arabella was quite happy seeing him again. Everybody in the crowd was obviously amazed and inspired by him. It was all shown on their faces. On stage, Bill Sky
Bill Sky admittedly mesmerized by this girl’s alluring beauty. He never seen such beauty in his existence. Bill Sky was included to the many gentlemen in this room who dropped their jaws when she came inside the room walking so sexy with her seductive dress that every man would fight for. Aside from that, the girl was like his match-made in heaven who’s also wearing white evening dress that perfectly matches his white tuxedo. Only the two of them were wearing white evening outfit. For some any reason that he couldn’t explain, every curves of her body were somewhat familiar to him. Her lips and eyes were telling him something. He couldn’t stop himself looking at her face closely. She smiled at him but her eyes were wandering around. He never saw her looked at him. Their eyes never met. These were the eyes of cleverness and players. Those people who have great guilt and wrong doings couldn’t stand to looked at other
“Code red. Check the news now. See you later. Bye.” Arabella quickly hanged up the phone. Farrah was left hanging. She quickly browsed the internet for the latest news in Capital Z. Big pictures greeted her from last night’s banquet. The biggest picture shocked her. It was her best friend Arabella dancing Bill Sky and beside it, Arabella hugging Jayson Hansen on the dance floor. It was clearly edited and someone with bad intention was behind it. The person behind this was obviously want to ruin Arabella’s reputation. She was dubbed as ‘Two-timer’ and ‘Gold Digger’. Farrah felt sorry for her friend. She had really the right to curse the situation. Farrah’s eyes now wandered to read about her issue, her eyes widened in shock when she was captured kissing Gab in the corner. She instantly flushed. They were captured half sided but the thing that shocked her more, the writer mentioned,
“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
