After hearing Bill’s words, Arabella’s eyes widened in disbelief. Did she hear it right? How could she disobey her patient now that he wanted her warm from her body? She gulped while her thoughts gone wild. She found negotiation on this matter was idle. He needed her and she needed to save his life. At an emergency moment like this, she should not be hesitant to help him. Anyway, they already had done that thing in the past.
When she saw Bill was still struggling with cold, Arabella quickly removed her night gown and unbuttoned his pajama. Seeing Bill’s nakedness, Arabella’s unconsciously bit his lower lip. But in just a second, she hated herself for having a nasty arousal to a sick man. She was hesitant to take off her undies, she thought that her almost nakedness would already suffice Bill’s fever. She hugged him again but to her surprise, his hand at her back loosened her bra and his other hand put down her panty. Then he hugged her very tight
Arabella just lowered her head. She couldn’t face him for she knew her asking for money was too off. She was not the kind of person but with her situation, she had left with no choice. Judging from Bill’s action, she knew Bill had misinterpreted her. Who cares? She needed the money to find the person who was behind in her father’s attempted killing. Too bad, her character would be very bad in Bill’s eyes.“So, tell me, you didn’t leave me last night because you wanted that money?” The playful smile he was wearing earlier instantly vanished in the air. Admittedly, he expected too much of this girl in front of him. She saved his life last night and he thought that was all because of her genuine kindness. Guess he was wrong. That was his first time to appreciate a woman not by her beauty but with her inner side but it seemed his first time was not a good experience.“Yes.” She put all her courage to reply
The picture was showing the woman with the amethyst earrings clutching her father’s arm in a ball party. ‘Who is she?’ She had a bad feeling with this woman. When she flipped the picture, she saw handwritten words “I love you.” with a signature, A.D.Upon seeing the message, she was quite at loss. Her heart ran fast as she had already an idea of who was the woman in the picture.For a moment, she wanted to call her mother but was hesitant as her mother would be restless worried about it. She knew her mother had suffered enough torture because of his father’s affair with another woman. Judging from the woman’s look, she looked like same age with her father. She was not young as the other mistresses but she looked sophisticated and she looked like she came from a rich family.Could it be possible that her mom knew about her? How could she tell it to her mom without rubbing salt to her wound?After weighing things fo
“Shhh… Don’t move. It’s better to sleep this way.” Bill said while hugging her back. He himself would never understand why he was always wanting her warm. Just by hugging her delicate body, he felt relaxed and complete from an exhausted day.“Hmmm… Mr. Sky, you think this is appropriate?” Like an innocent girl, she asked.“Why not? You’re my wife.” Bill lazily answered her.“But… We have a contract.” Though she let him hugged her, her thoughts couldn’t just rest.“So, what?” He asked.“Do we really need to sleep in one room? I can sleep in the guestroom. I can sleep back with you during your parents visit.” She was also confused. Though she liked to sleep beside him a lot but she had felt something wrong with their set-up. All she knew Bill married her to comply his parents’ demand.“Hmmm… Do you want to sle
“What?” She exclaimed. How could she had not gotten used to Bill’s conditions? He was not Bill if he didn’t have this kind of conditions.“What? You can’t do it? Then don’t ask for my money anymore.” Bill then hanged up without waiting for her reply. He smiled triumphantly while putting his phone on the table. It seemed he already knew her next move. Bill kept on surprising himself for his new changes. With Arabella, he found himself getting used with these changes. For him, it was quite challenging and exciting. In other words, his boring life became colorful with Arabella around. Bill just couldn’t stand the fact that Arabella made him changed little by little. For him, Arabella was just a gold-digger and only loved his money just like any other women.Then, his phone chimed that gave a sign that someone texted him. Even without seeing who was the texter, Bill already let go of a devilishly smile. He then got it f
After hearing him, Arabella’s eyes widened in shocked. Her looked was like a big WHAT? that couldn’t be uttered.“What? You can’t do it?” Bill said with a provoking expression.Arabella was dumbfounded. He only had one man in her life before and that was Jayson. Jayson’s treatment on her was way too different from this man infront of her. It seemed that she had a lot to discover about man’s traits. Sure enough, Bill had the worst traits among men.“Can I just sign the contract now?” Arabella was trying to divert the situation she was in. How could this man so heartless? In just a blink of an eye, he turned her to be the one who was very eager to have sex with him. Ridiculously, she was the one who was begging him again.“Come on! I’m waiting Mrs. Sky.” Bill had no sign of stopping his game. He wanted to know how far she could go for money.How could she deal with this kind of m
Arabella arrived in the Central Bank. It’s the biggest bank in Capital Z. With her body staggering, she managed to encash the check from Bill. Before she entered the bank, she already had the sight of the white box truck.“Are you okay ma’am?” The bank manager asked her as her face was as pale as a ghost and she was nervously shaking.“I’m fine. I’m just a little bit cold maybe because of the cold air coming from the AC.” It was just her alibi. She clearly remembered that caller’s demand to act well and avoid suspicion. How could she let her lousy acting be a hindrance to her goal?“Okay then, everything is ready.” The manager said delightedly.“Please ask some of your staff to help me load the money in my truck.” She intentionally used the word ‘my’ to avoid suspicion.“Sure. Consider it done madame.” With a smile, the manager called someone and o
In the darkness, she forced herself to see the light. She kept on running to escape from the place without any direction. She couldn’t see any path to follow but she just kept on running afraid of being trapped in the dark forever.“My Boss wanted us to kill you!”“Your fake husband wanted us to kill you!”“Bill wanted you to be dead!”All these words kept on hounding her while she was running and Bill’s devilishly face appeared in the dark laughing wickedly like the mastermind who triumphantly put her into her situation right now. Scared, tired and tormented, she refused to stop and let the evil man decides her destiny. She refused to be imprisoned in the dark forever. She shook her head to get rid of Bill’s devilish face and covered her ears with her hands to avoid hearing those awful words that lingered repetitively in her head. With almost lacking the strength to run, she forced
“No! No! No!” Arabella made a piercing cry in her sleep. Her body was trembling and she was pushing and kicking her quilt and pillow that hinders her body.“Call the doctor now!” Farrah’s nervous voice came out.“Got it!” A man’s voice replied and quickly went out.“Arabella wake up! You are just dreaming. Wake up!” Farrah was holding her hand to make Arabella calm down from struggling.Arabella could hear the people’s voice. She slowly lifted her eyes to open. They were still heavy and she felt weak all over her body. A white wall greeted her blurry sight. Then it slowly turned clear when she slowly flipped her head on the side and saw her best friend’s worried face.“Where Am I?” Arabella was confused. She tried wracking her brain but there was no use. She couldn’t remember anything.“You are in the hospital. You have been sleeping
