Chapter 150 - The Visitors

The next morning, The Richest CEO and the Superstar wedding took the world by storm. Everyone had their different opinions about the scandal and the sudden wedding. All headlines were about their wedding.

The top-notch bachelor, Bill Sky will finally tie the knot with the promising superstar, Trishia Meyer. Their supporters went uproar. Fans and media from different networks in capital Z and abroad were surprised by the sudden twist and left with the questions,

‘What happened to the third wheel?’

‘Did Bill dump her?’

‘Is Bill forced to marry Trishia?’

Before the scandal, Trishia had already announced her wedding with Bill. All their supporters were broken-hearted with the sudden scandal and now, they were back spreading the happy news on their social media.

Trishia already scheduled a press conference to officially announce the date of their wedding.

Meanwhile,

Arabella woke up jumping out the bed as her memory traveled back last night.

“Give me a towel.” Bill sounded.

“What?” She asked in annoyance.

“I’m waiting. Don’t let me get colds.” Bill was not affected by her irritation.

“How would I do that? I cannot see anything. Are you nuts?” She just didn’t want to help him. Good thing, it’s dark and she had an excuse not to help him.

“Ok, then I am coming out wet and naked.” He announced deliberately.

Arabella startled. She didn’t know what to do like she did regret her answer earlier.

“Okay! Okay! Stay there and tell me the direction where to get your new towel.” Alerted, she stood up quickly.

“Good girl,” Bill remarked. “Go straight, turned left. Open the drawer on the right.” He sounded and she instantly followed afraid of him coming out without any clothes.

Using her cellphone’s flashlight, she easily saw the white towels piled up accordingly. She took one and strode towards the bathroom. She knocked.

“Come in,” Bill ordered.

“No. Take it here now.” She refused and ordered him back.

“Okay. I’m coming.” He replied and the door opened again.

Arabella quickly closed her eyes afraid to see him bare. She could hear Bill chuckle softly. Like she was kind of a teenager without any experience in bed.

Bill studied the girl in front of him who was covering her eyes.

‘As you know Mr. Sky, I have a boyfriend and we always do that thing every night. I know you don’t touch anyone who was already used by others.’ He clearly remembered what she said in his office that made him pissed but tonight judging from her action, Bill concluded that she was lying to him.

He smiled at his thought and her innocent action.

“Come closer, I can’t reach it.” Bill looked at the girl who timidly moved forward.

“Closer.” He sounded again with a teasing tone.

Arabella didn’t feel right as she harshly threw the towel in his direction and quickly strode away.

She went back to the sofa with her flashlight. She stayed there vigilantly while browsing the pictures of Adam on her cellphone.

She missed her son so much. Looking at his pictures, her tears began to fall. She imagined what he was eating right now. Where did he sleep? Who took care of him? Is he scared? Is he convenient with his place? Is he even get to sleep at night? Is he crying? Her messy thoughts stopped when someone sat beside her and tapped her shoulder.

“Rest now. Will find Adam tomorrow.” Bill said with a comforting tone.

Arabella quickly wiped her tears. She didn’t want him to see her tears and mocked her.

“Do you think I can still rest?” She asked annoyingly and with fury like ‘Come on! I lost my son. How can I rest? Are you dumb?’. Her voice was angry as there’s no other to blame in the situation. It’s him!

“I’ll help you rest,” Bill answered unaffected with her insults.

“You are making me sick.” She muttered with irritation.

“You are making me calm.” He muttered back.

This man could really annoy her to death. She could feel her blood pressure suddenly go up.

The air filled with silence for a while.

“About the divorce…” Arabella opened up.

“What about? Do you have a decision?” Bill asked.

“Let’s make it fast.” She coldly said.

“Okay. What about my condition?” He asked meaningfully.

“I can’t sleep with you.” She said toughly.

“I thought you want to have a divorce. Then give me what I want now and you are free tomorrow.” Bill said giving her an option. As always, he was a man of options.

Pathetic options!

What now Arabella have s*x with him and get your long-awaited divorce?

No!

She wasn’t cheap enough to grant his wish. It’s not about life and death.

Then what about the divorce?

“Bill, Get another woman to f*ck not me. By the way, aren’t you tired of making out tonight with some woman outside? Why are you doing this to me? Am I that very cheap woman in your eyes? Divorce me and marry someone who would fit your wants and needs. Spare me with your unending scheme!” Her voice was mocking him. She was disgusted by him thinking of the red lipstick mark and his odd smell a while ago. She was really tired of talking to him and his same old scheme.

“I only want you.” His voice sounded in the dark. Cold brief but sincere.

She chuckled as she wiggled her head hearing another joke in her life.

How could she believe him? That’s not possible. Never Again.

“You must be kidding. Look, I don’t have time for this. I’m going to go to the guestroom now.” She said and quickly stood up avoiding their conversation but Bill held her wrist and pulled her to him.

Arabella shoved directly to his chest. She quickly struggled to get up but Bill didn’t give her the chance to stand. Before she knew it, her body was already lifted in the air and was put on his big bed.

“Shhh…you sleep here. I sleep on the sofa.” Bill whispered as he covered her with the thick quilt. Then he strode back to the sofa. He sat down then slowly laid.

Surprised, Arabella looked at Bill on the sofa. Did the sun rise at the west today? She frowned as she couldn’t believe his action. Bill would never negotiate outside his terms. He was always the king, the ruler, and the winner. He would never give her satisfaction and only pester her to death.

Why all of a sudden he’s always there?

He brought her to his hospital when she jumped out of his car.

He took care of her while she was admitted to the hospital

He saved her from being embarrassed by Chelsea.

He chose her over Trishia at the party with the media.

‘No. Arabella, learn from your mistake. He can’t be changed overnight. Bill Sky would never change.’ Arabella kept on reminding herself not to fall into his trap again.

Then, could it be guilt?

Guilt for not believing her 6 years ago about Adam?

Guilt for not saving her and his son at the bar?

He was surely guilty about it but it was too late.

He could never amend his sins in the past.

‘Let him be guilty Arabella.’

‘You don’t deserve that traumatizing pain.’

‘He killed your father.’

‘He should feel that guilt even in his afterlife.’

She closed her eyes and tears fell in each corner of her eyes as her memory brought her to all the pains and tragedies, she went through because of him.

If not for Adam, there’s no way she would be in his room tonight. Sharing a room with him made her feel suffocated. Her plan didn’t change. Once she got Adam, they will go away from him. She had to contact Damien to get a new place for them. A place where Adam could hide even in a small province as flying back abroad was not feasible considering her mother’s situation. She could not let other people touch Adam even if they were blood-related. If this would continue, that tragedy that happened 6 years ago could happen again. She could not imagine the worst pain living without Adam in her life.

So as much as possible, she had to plan smart and quick to avoid another tragedy.

Morning came. She was half awake but her eyes wanted to sleep more. She felt comfortable with a soft pillow under her head as she grabbed more pillow and hugged it tightly. She was not expecting that she could sleep soundly. Then after a while, she opened her eyes only to find out that she was already hugging a man’s body who was sleeping beside her.

She was stunned and her eyes grew wider. Bill was already beside her and she was leaning on his shoulder. She instantly blushed and jumped out the bed.

She went to the bathroom and washed her face to get rid of her blushed cheeks.

Then she went back to him and grab his shirt.

“Hey! It’s morning. Go and find Adam.” She hurriedly ordered.

“Hmmm…” Bill only muttered with closed eyes.

“Hey! Let’s not waste time. Get up and get Adam from your mom now.” She nagged again dragging his shirt.

Bill slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. He was annoyed at first but his expression quickly recovered.

“I have a good sleep.” He announced with a calm expression. He seemed happy with his sleep that it was shown on his face.

“I don’t care. Now get up!” She said like a boss.

“Do you have a good sleep?” He asked her never minding her nagging early in the morning.

“NO!” She answered almost screaming. She wanted him to start working on finding Adam.

“I felt cold last night so I transferred.” He explained to appease her angry expression.

“I don’t want to hear it.” She said coldly.

Bill looked at her studying the cold Arabella. She smirked as she didn’t want him staring at her.

“I thought you are disgusted with me. Remember, me and my boyfriend always…” She said purposely reminded him that she already had a boyfriend hoping that he would be pissed and would stop staring at her.

Bill released a pleasant smirk.

“I want to bite your lips.” He sounded with no connection to her topic. His eyes fixated on her luscious lips.

“Keep dreaming, Mr. Sky.” She sounded insulting him then moved away from him.

Bill stood up then opened the door easily. He smirked at her before he strode out. She was stunned for a moment then she followed.

Bill went out after their breakfast. She had to stay in his house according to his condition otherwise, she could not see Adam. All she had to do was wait for him. If she would not follow, consequences would be applied. For Adam, she could not afford such a consequence. She would never put Adam at risk.

The afternoon came quickly when the doorbell rang. Caught in her excitement to finally see her son, she ran towards the door without seeing the visitor in the monitor mounted on the wall.

After opening the door, she was shocked to see the visitors. Likewise, the visitors were also shocked to see her.

“You! What are you doing here at my husband’s house? You dirty slut!” Trishia was very furious seeing Arabella open the door for them as she rushed in to slap her but Kelly held her shoulder to stop her.

“Well, good thing that you are here,” Kelly said elegantly but with arrogance in her tone.

“Aunt Kelly, please give me back my son.” Arabella quickly strode towards Kelly and held her arm as her voice and expression were pleading at her.

“Don’t you ever call me Aunt!” Kelly quickly snatched her arm from Arabella’s grip.

“This is interesting,” Kelly added. “You hid Adam from us and now you are using your son to get Bill back,” Kelly uttered with insults.

“No. That’s not true.” She quickly refuted.

“If it weren’t for Adam, Bill would never let you stay in his house.” Kelly declared with big judgmental eyes.

“Don’t you ever think that Bill likes you! He only loves me and we are going to get married after 7 days. So don’t ever think of using your son to ruin our wedding.” Trishia’s tone was full of threat as she was staring daggers at Arabella.

“I don’t have a plan Trishia. You can have Bill all you want. I only want my son.” Arabella answered Trishia firmly. “Please Aun… please give me back Adam and we will disappear in Bill’s life,” Arabella begged at Kelly with tears flowing from her eyes. She could not help not to cry thinking about Adam.

“You are pathetic! Adam is Bill’s son. He is ours now. Don’t ever think to hide him again from us.” Kelly said with her eyes rolling in annoyance.

“From now on, Trishia will live here. If you want to see your son, you are welcome to stay here and be a servant to Trishia and Bill. Served Trishia nicely. I want to see what you’re up to.” Kelly provokingly said.

Hearing Kelly's words, Trishia secretly smiled wickedly.
