Chapter 10 - Total Player

Bill’s smile and stare gave her a different type of chills inside her nerves and veins.

He was teasing her as if he is answering her ‘YES!’.

Arabella’s heart immediately raced and her insides were trembling.

‘It can’t be!’ She’s sure that she’s still a virgin. She didn’t find any bloodstains on the bed. If it wasn’t for her clothes had been changed, she’s sure nothing happened.

Her virginity is only for her beloved man in the future. Arabella didn’t want to believe that her long-time principle would be taken away that easily.

Arabella then heard footsteps that were coming nearer. A manly scent suddenly greeted her nose. Bill narrowed his eyes at her and lifted her chin to face his sinfully handsome face.

“If you were mine, you wouldn’t be able to walk for days.” Bill’s words sent a million sensations to her being.

His stare was so strong that it penetrated her whole body. She hated how her body reacted to his words and touches. It was as if every single system of her body shivered and malfunctioned.

Images of her and him naked and kissing each other on the bed and how he made her swollen uncontrollably popped out. She made her want to kill herself.

‘Is this arousal?’ Arabella paused

‘Cut the nonsense!’

She shook her head and tried to shake away all the dirty thoughts in her head.

“In your dream!” Arabella hated him for waking her arousal. She couldn’t help but gulp.

“Then who changed my clothes?” she didn’t want to speak anymore, but she couldn’t stop her curiosity.

“It’s for you to find out.” He just gave her a clip hanger.

Now she needs to crack her brain and welcome her sleepless nights. But one thing she’s sure they didn’t have sex. That’s a reliever anyway.

“Are you wet now Honey?” his lips brushed her earlobe while he whispered.

His hot breath made him flush immediately.

He was a teaser and he was obviously playing her.

Arabella was sweating uncontrollably no matter how much cold the air conditioning unit is providing them inside the room.

She did not want him to know how she feels down inside this very moment. She pretended that she was not affected by his tease.

Arabella dodged and made a step backward, making enough space for them to talk civilly.

“I didn’t know that Mr. Sky is a total player. I understand that you were unhappy about me disrupting your intimate scene a while ago. I’m sorry about that, but please spare me of your nasty little tricks to fulfill your satisfaction.” Arabella firmly said with sarcasm in her voice.

She wanted him to stop teasing her or else she couldn’t promise herself what would happen next.

‘Damn this man!’ Arabella couldn’t help but swallowing her saliva and bit her lip.

“Why? Can’t you hold it any longer?” Bill smirked at her with a wicked smile on his face.

“You just kissed someone before I entered this room and now you won’t stop teasing me?” Arabella looked at his eyes with disgust.

“Are you jealous?” Bill’s sharp eyes fixated on her with a teasing voice.

“No! Why should I be jealous?” Arabella quickly answered with annoyance.

“Well, that’s good. I don’t want a jealous wife.” Bill smiled in satisfaction, but his eyes were full of malice.

She didn’t want to admit that there’s something sourness in her heart that she couldn’t explain.

“Let’s stop this nonsense.” Arabella immediately interrupted him.

“I didn’t sign the contract. I didn’t have any memory that I signed it. You just used my drunkenness to make me sign it. That is illegal. So that’s void.” She added quickly.

Bill’s eyes became gloomy and a contemptuous look glared at her.

Arabella tried herself not to show him that her shaking by his gaze. She held her breath and her body was uncontrollably trembling.

“It’s not your call, my wife.” Bill smirked and his cold eyes met hers.

“What do you mean it’s not my call? I’m with that contract. And I’m telling you now, I will not comply with that contract and with you. I don’t want anything to do with you.” She tried her best not to stagger.

Her heart was bursting with anger now. She can’t be calmed anymore. She just wanted to leave the place and forget everything that had happened.

He calmly got his phone on the table and simply dialed a number. He then turned on the loudspeaker mode.

“What’s up man?” a guy on the other line greeted him lazily like he was disturbed from his deep sleep.

“Farrah’s friend is here. Do want to say Hi Gab?” He smiled slightly glaring at her with dark eyes.

“Oh! Hi. I’m sorry Farrah is still sleeping. Do you have any message?” The voice from the other line awakened immediately.

“What? Hey. What have you done to my friend? Where are you now? I will come to pick her up. Farrah! Farrah!”

She was now hysterical. She’s afraid that the call might be cut off. She needs to get Farrah out wherever she’s in. All she knew was that Farrah is in danger.

Her words had been cut off. Then she heard the long beep sound from the other line that means the call was ended.

“Hey. What happened? Where’s Farrah?” Arabella tried to snatch his cell phone from him, but it was to no avail.

“Hey! Easy!” Bill sounded like a master taming his animal pet.

Arabella would not back down. She needed to bring back Farrah and run away from this crazy man immediately.

If she couldn’t stay in capital Z peacefully might as well, she would go back abroad for good.

She had decided already. As long as she could find Farrah, she would leave Capital Z if that’s the only way to escape Bill Sky. There is no way on earth she would let him summon her anytime. There’s no way she would be his contractual wife.

“Give me your phone.” Arabella tried to snatch his phone again from his hand but he was taller than him. He intentionally lifted his hand high, so she couldn’t get it.

All she could do was jump repeatedly, but Arabella failed.

All her effort was thrown out the window.

When Bill noticed that she’s in the state of giving up, he smiled at her and lowered his hand.

“Do you want to get it?” Bill said.

Arabella looked at him and she nodded, trying to suppress her anger and annoyance.

Bill then slowly put his phone in his pocket and said, “Well then, get it.” He smirked and smile devilishly.

Arabella couldn’t suppress her emotions any longer. This man is really crazy.

“What are you trying to do? Aren’t you busy enough to play tricks on me?” Arabella said angrily.

“What? You said you want my phone, right? Then it’s here.” Tilting his head to emphasize his phone in his pocket. “Get it.” With a provoking voice, Bill added with a smirk.

Still, feeling tensed and annoyed, “Mr. Sky, tell me what do you gain for playing tricks on me? I’m just a lowly ugly woman who’s struggling to survive a living in this city and you are on top of the pyramid. Why do you bully me so much?”

“I would like to correct you with that Honey. I don’t bully women. I love women.” Bill smirked with sarcasm. His eyes were all on her.

“Then why me? I’m ugly. Why not that Barbie girl of yours.” She’s referring to the girl in his arms a while ago.

“She’s not the girl I want. I want you.” Bill’s eyes were sharp and deep, but the emotion couldn’t be found.

“But you’ve kissed her.” Arabella quickly retorted. She should have not said it, but it’s too late.

“Don’t be confused about want and like, my dear.” Bill said calmly with sarcasm on his beautiful face.

She was too foolish to ask him. Yeah. She got it. He likes the Barbie girl and he wants me to do the job.

Arabella felt a little sadness in her heart after sinking in his words.

“But I’m ugly.” This time, Arabella tried to persuade him to disgust her and immediately void the contract.

“You’re thinking too much my dear. All you need to do is act well and follow our contract. One year. That’s all it got. Then we’re gonna be strangers after. That I promise you.” Bill was sincere in his words. He's clutching his two arms in front of him while his bottomless eyes were meeting her eyes.

“What if I say NO. What’s gonna happen?” Arabella didn’t want to know either, but she couldn’t handle her curiosity.

“As I told you before, I don’t accept NO for an answer.” Bill walked closer to her, still clutching his arms in front of him.

“I am not the CEO of Sky Corporation for nothing.” His voice was so powerful as well as his aura.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly turned too cold. The fear felt all over her system, but Arabella still tried to compose herself. She still needs to save Farrah.

“Are threatening me of Farrah?” Arabella quickly asked.

“That’s more I like it. You are smart.” Then his hand touched on top of her head with his finger messing her hair like a child.

Good thing her wig was on the stronghold. Farrah had a good eye and chose a natural hair wig. So, the feel is like real hair.

“Why are you so stubborn Mr. Sky? Please let go of Farrah.” Arabella had to try all she could to save her best friend.

“You know what I want. Do not make myself repeat.” Bill’s cold voice sent a terrifying sensation to her heart.

“7 pm tomorrow at Grand Sky Hotel. Meet me there. Will have dinner with my parents. Our contract will start tomorrow.” Bill picked up her chin to look at him.

“Be a good girl. Farrah is in good hands as we talk, but I can’t promise what will happen to her if you misbehave.” His voice was calm yet firm.

“This is insane! You are insane! You can’t just do that to me and to my friend. She is innocent.” Arabella couldn’t contain her madness. She felt her heart is bursting with anger and she was left with no other choice.

Bill Sky really knew how to play his cards. No wonder he is the mighty beast in the business world.

“Be a good girl. I will not bite you.” Bill smiled at her seductively as if he knew what she's thinking. It is just like saying don’t be afraid of me just behave yourself.

“Let me talk to Farrah first.” Arabella pretended to talk calmly, then, she slightly raised her hand horizontally with her palm in an upward position expecting him to give her his phone.

His wicked smile appeared again. “You are free to get it inside my pocket.”

Arabella knew he was toying her again. She was dumbfounded, but her heart was racing so fast.

She gulped. “No!” she retorted quickly.

“No what? Look, Honey. You will be the second person who will touch my phone. Aside from me, no one is allowed to touch it. Now touch it if you dare.” Bill’s voice is very imposing.

His eyes were all on her. She knew he can’t change his mind. She needs to act fast before it’s too late. If this is his show, she will play her part to protect her only best friend.

“Okay, I will do it!” She mustered up her courage left to play with him. She would give him what he wanted for Farrah’s sake. After this, she’ll make sure to disappear from his life.

Arabella walked closer to him. She gathered herself not to tremble in front of him.. Her body immediately tensed up and her heart couldn’t stop beating to its highest rate.
