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.
