Inside her ward, Arabella’s tears could not stop flowing. She broke down after Bill visited her. Her cry was silent but her tears serenaded the intense pain in her heart. Once again, her heart was shattered into pieces. Arabella cried with all her heartache. She could not bear the pain anymore. When all she thought was that Bill was already by her side, she was slapped by the reality that Bill was just playing with her from the start. Arabella sobbed as her thoughts took her back to Bill’s words for her earlier. “I don’t have any feelings for you, Arabella, as you have claimed. I tried… I tried to assess myself but there was nothing at all.” Bill stopped as he released a heavy sigh. “I never saw a woman as desperate as you and I must admit, I had enjoyed playing with you from start to end.” At this point, Bill’s tone was arrogant. He was mocking her in a calm manner. Arabella was taken aback. Now, she realized that Bill didn’t take her to let her prove herself to him but h
“Arabella, why are you crying? Where are you? I’m going there now!” Damien worriedly sounded over the phone. His tone was a little agitated. Obviously, he didn’t like Arabella’s cry.“S Medical. Please come and pick me up.” Dispirited, Arabella sounded. She was pleading to Damien in a hurry like she didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer. Who wanted to when all she could feel was sadness? Arabella felt she had to start again from scratch. She had nowhere to go and no one but Damien. Arabella was very thankful that she had Damien always by her side even though she was not that considerate friend to him all the time. The reason was clear, she didn’t want him to misunderstand her. She didn’t want to give him hope too that their relationship would go more than friends. Just like before, she just hurt Damien but the good thing, he had Lira now. Arabella was happy with Lira and Damien and she was very happy that Lira took care of Damien. She was very hopeful that someday,
Mark couldn’t believe what he heard. ‘Bill Sky’His brother.The only child who his father acknowledged. The sole heir of Sky Corporation.And his greatest rival. Mark didn’t want to see him. At that time, he felt jealous and angry with Bill Sky because he had everything while he had nothing. Bill was acknowledged and he was hidden like a dirty thing that could stain their prestige family reputation in society.“Young Master, Mr. Sky is here to see you.” Mr. Hendrick explained politely. “No… Tell him to leave.” Mark replied firmly as he went back to bed and wrapped himself in the thick quilt.“But…” Mr. Hendrick’s expression showed strong uneasiness. How could he relay that to Mr. Bill Sky? Though Bill was just young at that time, he was already handling the business and he was far from the usual young people. He was already profound and dignified. Bill Sky was serious about everything.“Don’t bother yourself, Mr. Hendrick.” The old butler jolted when Bill’s powerful voice c
“Run!” The fat woman shouted as she gathered the four men's attention. Mark was confused. Now, she was in danger as the men were running to avenge her. Mark was definite that with the four men carrying some weapons, that woman couldn’t survive. The woman ran in indifferent directions while the four men kept chasing her. Mark quickly jumped inside his car and drove away. “Hop in!” He shouted as he stopped the woman while she was about to cross the street. The woman stopped and her expression was quite hesitant but seeing the four men getting closer to them, she had no time to think. She quickly entered Mark’s car then he swiftly maneuvered the car. The four men stopped panting while cursing them shouting repeatedly in the air. “Hold on tight!” Mark droved fast like they were like flying in the air. “Wohooo!!!” The woman shouted in the air like she was fulfilled escaping the four men. After a while, they stopped. Mark looked at her frowning.“Why did you save me there?” He
“Let go!” When the stiffness of the air was so palpable, Damien was the one who regained his senses first. It’s been a while since he saw the domineering man again. He hated this man so much for giving Arabella such hard times. Ever since and until now, he didn’t change but more became worse. Damien witnessed everything Arabella had to experience from him terribly. And now, he still had the face to come in and out of their lives. Damien just wanted Arabella to forget this man and instead, she would see him as the man who truly cared and loved her but because of Bill Sky, that was going to be impossible to happen. After Damien’s words, Bill didn’t move even Arabella. She felt her heart skip a beat for a while and then when it raced to the highest rate. She didn’t understand why she had to meet Bill very soon and what he was doing right now.Why he had to stop them?He just put an end to their relationship, then why he was wasting his precious time with them?“I said, let go!”
“Don’t!” Lira shouted with a strong refusal in her tone. The feeling of being rejected and disowned by Damien was just too much for her to handle. She felt angry but she felt she needed to understand everything. In the first place, she knew everything about Damien’s feelings toward Arabella but then she still accepted the truth.She all knew the situation she was putting herself into but now, she had to leave with a very heavy heart. Arabella was back in Damien’s life and she had no place in his house anymore. “Lira, calm down yourself, will you?” Damien uttered holding her arms. He was obviously trying to stop her from creating noise or she would be heard outside.“Damien, I want to leave now.” Lira refuted very eager to leave the house.Damien looked at her like he was studying her keenly. Lira looked at him meeting his eyes. In her heart, she wanted Damien to stop her and tell her the words she wanted to hear from him right now to appease her sadness and disappointment. Sh
Trishia could only blame the situation on the cunning Senator. She was cursing her repeatedly in her mind. She would kill him if he messed up with her and Bill Sky. “Ah… secret?” The Senator grinned looking at Trishia. He was obviously teasing her right now in front of Bill. Bill was just looking at them. His expression was unapproachable as usual. One could easily be intimidated.“Ah… sweetheart, my dad right here just talking about….” Though Trishia was nervous as hell, she managed to speak up and gather her cool to avoid suspicion. “Dad, yes, of course, you and mom are invited to my wedding. And… that secret… oh make sure I will be surprised with that secret gift of yours and mom.” Trishia smiled as if nothing happened but deep inside she was very nervous as she knew Bill was a smart guy. He would not be Bill Sky, the most successful businessman and the richest if he would be easily deceived. With these, Trishia knew that she had to be very careful in dealing things with h
“Congratulations, Mr. Sky.” After a moment of hesitation, Bill’s driver, finally congratulate his boss who was sitting calmly in the backseat. “Thank you,” Bill answered plainly. Then a deafening silence was back inside the car. Along with it was Bill’s thought of his wedding tomorrow that he almost forgot. His wedding with Trishia was just a thank-you gift to her for saving his life. It was she who asked for it and tomorrow, he would grant it to her. A grand wedding. Bill looked outside the street. His black orbs were deep and unreadable. The city lights were so vivid and the street was so busy as usual. They were caught in traffic again. Somehow, his mind was caught wondering about his wedding with Arabella Jones. They said that he was married her before but not a single memory appeared in his mind. He heaved a deep sigh. Maybe that memory was not so important to him that is why he could not remember it. That just meant it was not worth remembering. When the red ligh
“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
