Chapter 130 - Her Chances

“No!” Arabella looked at the man who had no glow on his expression. She clenched her fists very hard until she felt her nails dig in her palms. Stopping herself from punching him, she gathered her calmness but it seemed she had run out of calmness from the day she met him again.

“Out!” Bill’s eyes were killers. His voice resonated inside the office that making Arabella’s spirit jumped in fright.

Is he giving her a chance to leave?

But Arabella stood still. She refused to go out even if she already felt like running away. Suppressing all her fears, she managed to stay and looked at the man with fearlessness in her eyes.

The air in the room seemed frosty but she feels like a burning lava.

“No. I need you to transfer my mom to your hospital.” Arabella’s voice was not pleading. She was more like giving an order to him.

“Okay.” Bill nodded repetitively while walking in a circle with her in the middle.

“So bold.” He added like a compliment but not.

Then he stopped in front of her.

“What can you pay?” Bill asked with dangerous eyes that could shake one's soul.

“Money. I have money. I will pay you.” She answered directly with no fear in her tone. She’s not the same Arabella anymore. Although she’s not that rich, she could give all her savings to him just to save her mom.

“Hmmm...” Bill smiled like he heard the biggest joke in his life. The smile was not pleasant but something intimidating.

“Are you buying me?” He sounded like he was already taking her in his mind.

“No. What I am telling here is that I can pay the service of your hospital for my mom. Just give her a slot.” Arabella almost lost her toughness when she uttered the word, mom. Thinking of her dying without her had done nothing made her back to what happened to her father 6 years ago.

She had the chance to save him but she failed. His life was in her hand but she let go of him.

The guilt shadowed her for 6 years and now by saving her mother, she might compliment that guilt 6 years ago.

“Then tell me, why should I do that?” Bill asked frowning. He was not literally puzzled but he was the same as telling as,’ Who are you? and Why do I need to help you?’

Arabella felt hopeless inside. His question was like a bolt of lightning struck her body that made her feel stiff. He was right, they have nothing and he had no reason to help her.

She felt like losing the fight already but she refused to surrender. She was unable to give him an answer as her words were stuck in her throat. She didn’t know what to say but her stubborn eyes had no plan of averting her gaze from his dangerous eyes.

Just when her phone rang again. She quickly looked at her cellphone. It’s her mom’s doctor. The pressure and nervousness in her heart heightened. She didn’t answer the call as she knew the doctor would make a follow-up about the urgent transfer of her mother.

Arabella put back her cellphone in her pocket. She needs to finish it away. She looked at Bill with cold emotion then gently strode to the bedroom.

Inside his bedroom, all of her trembled.

She didn’t know if what she’s doing is right. All she had in mind is to save her mom.

Time is her enemy. She had no time negotiating and making long talks with him. She knew he could make all things happen in just a snap of his fingers.

With cold sweats all over her, Arabella stood still in front of the bed. It’s the same bed where they shared before.

Then she heard the closing of the door behind her. She didn’t move, she just waited for what he wanted of her.

Then, she heard the steps slowly approaching her. Her body instantly quivered but still, she suppressed her uneasiness. For her, whatever will happen inside this room she will walk out with dignity.

The steps stopped but she felt him very close to her as his breath was brushing her neck. She held her breath as she felt like crying in the situation. She had left with no other option again when it comes to him while he can easily get what he needs.

She was already cursing the situation when he sounded. “Face me!”

She heard him but she kept unmoved. It’s not that she didn’t want to follow him but it’s her legs. They didn’t want to cooperate. She could feel her knees had softened but she didn’t want to show him that.

“Get out if you are just going to waste my time.” Who said she didn’t have an option? This is the second time he had given him a chance to escape.

Hearing his irritation, Arabella quickly turned around to face him. Their eyes met. This time, no one wore a glow in their eyes.

No sparks of joy.

No softness.

No love.

Nothing!

Only roughness could be seen in their eyes.

“Take off your ring.” With an overbearing tone, Bill ordered.

Arabella was shocked. She didn’t know that he noticed even a very small thing in her body.

She had promised Damien not to take it off but Bill just made her break the promise. This was the only time she averted her gaze at him. She lowered her head, gently took off the ring, and put it in her pocket.

“Satisfied?” She raised her hand to show that there’s no ring in her hand.

Bill just nodded.

“Is your boyfriend know that you are here willing to bargain your body?” Bill asked with full of insults in his tone.

Arabella was liked slapped by million hands with his words.

Damien.

Her boyfriend.

How could she forget him?

“I am not here to bargain my body. You made me do this. And I believe that the matter of my boyfriend is private. I don’t need it to share with you.” Although she was holding her anger, she still couldn’t hold it all.

“Okay. Just to be clear, I am not forcing you. You are the one who came to me and it’s your own will to enter this room.” Bill was lecturing her while circling her again.

She didn’t say anything. She was just waiting for his next move.

Then he stopped leaving only half a meter gap from her. They were very close to each other but he didn’t touch her. His fragrance wafted her nose that made her feel uneasy and unsteady.

“You may start now.” Bill announced a serious expression.

Arabella’s face was flustered. She didn’t know what his words mean.

What to start?

“…..” Speechless and frightened. She froze on her spot.

“Staring at me would not help your mom.” He sounded again provokingly as he walked away from her and sat on an elegant blue French couch. He stretched his arms on the backrest and crossed his long legs. He was like a king waiting to be served or a king watching a hooker in front performing her nasty moves.

Arabella was snapped back to her senses. She could feel his aloofness. It’s unusual that he didn’t touch her right away.

“Mr. Sky, as far as my memory serves me right, you don’t like things that were already been used by others, right? As you see, I have a boyfriend and we made that thing every night.” She lied but Arabella had seen a chance to make him disgust her.

Maybe he would change his mind.

“Right. That's why I am not touching you.” He replied directly. His king demeanor never lessen even he was a bit irritated.

“Then, what do you want?” Arabella’s voice was already running with patience. He didn’t want to stay any longer with the monster. She wanted to jump for joy hearing he will not touch her.

“As you said, someone had used you but I beat, your tough mouth is still unused.” Bill spoke vulgarly waiting for her show.

“What?!” Arabella’s voice echoed in the room. She felt her spirit separate her body for a moment. She was not so naïve not to figure out what he meant. She regretted what she spewed but it's too late. She hated wanting to choke herself for putting her in the most difficult situation with her words.

Bill tilted his head on the side, “If you can’t do it, then leave.” This was the third time he had given her the chance to escape but Arabella didn’t want to take that chance.

‘Wait for me mom. Please wait for me.’ She whispered in her heart.

“I will do it.” Gritting her teeth, she said with bravery.

“Then what are you waiting for?” Bill smiled wickedly and loosened his legs. He also loosened his tie.

“I will do it. But you have to make the arrangements now.” With trembling nerves, she demanded.

‘That’s right Arabella, after his call, run.’ At this moment, his wits and guts were conniving with each other.

How can she actually do what he ordered?

This is insane!

He is insane!

“Clever but I am running out of patience.” Bill announced. His devilishly handsome face was looking impatiently. “Satisfy me and I will make the arrangements.” He added decisively.

“I can’t satisfy you. I don’t know how to do it.” Arabella said with sarcasm but full of honesty. For six years, only him had touched her but she didn’t say it to share her sentiments it’s because she wanted him to lose interest in her.

“That’s not a problem. Remember what I told you yesterday. I don't mind teaching you personally.” His wicked expression gave her an intense chill down to her spine and she felt her nerves contract.

In the middle of the negotiation, Arabella’s phone suddenly rang again but she didn’t look at the caller for she knew it’s her doctor’s mother. It's like an alarm clock for her.

The call made her regain her senses and made her think about her purpose why she’s there in the monster’s dungeon. Without any hesitation, she moved closer to Bill, knelt on the floor, and loosened his pants with trembling hands.

‘I am sorry Damien.’ She whispered in her heart.

Bill’s hand guided her. Moving and tilting her head.

He made a call in the middle of his pleasurable groaning.

After she heard him call someone about the transfer of her mother, Arabella stopped. She was about to stand up to go out but Bill’s hand was quick to grab her wrist.

He stood up and looked at her with extreme desire. He seemed to want to savor her lips, undress her, and put her to bed but he held his momentum.

“Sh*t!” He shouted angrily then, he let go of her arm.

Using the freedom, Arabella ran away approaching the door to leave but she unintentionally bumped someone at the door.

A woman.

It’s Trishia Meyer.

Arabella saw her but she was quick to hide her face in her long hair and swiftly went out.

“Hey! You!” Arabella heard Trishia’s voice but she didn’t mind it as she jumped into the empty elevator. All she had in mind was to get out from the monster’s dungeon safely.

Trishia was in a rage. She rushed to Bill’s room with an opened door but she heard the rustling of water on the floor.

Her eyes wandered inside the room and they landed on the used tissues in the bin.

“Sh*t!” Trishia muttered angrily.

Bill never touched her even she was almost naked in front of him. Now, another girl just barged in his office and they did it. If only she was a little early, she would have caught the girl.

“Why you’re here?” Bill sounded with clothes already fixed.

“Bill, who’s that girl? With controlled anger, Trishia asked the man who was very fresh to look at.

Bill didn’t answer her and strode out to his office but his mood wasn’t annoyed.

“I have to work. Please leave.” Bill then sounded while sitting on his working chair. Without any reason, he smiled before opening a folder and started to sign some documents.

He seemed to greatly satisfy himself with the girl.

'Who is that girl?'

Trishia clenched her fists and swore to find her.
