Last night, Eric got a call from Rosy.
Without her telling him, Eric knew something bad happened.
Could it be related to work or personal matters, he still didn’t have any idea yet.
Rosy didn’t want to talk about it over the phone.
She required him to fly back and see her personally.
The only thing Rosy said was that it was an urgent and very important matter.
As planned, his private plane was scheduled for the earliest flight but before that, he wanted to check on Arabella and informed her that he would be gone for a couple of days. Not just that but his heart wanted to see her again.
He wanted to make sure that all was fine for her before he goes.
Now that Arabella was slowly accepting them again, Eric wouldn’t miss his chance anymore.
If he had to start from the beginning, he would.
If he had to court her again, Eric promised that he would not give up on courting her just like before.
With the marriage that bonded them, he swore to get Arabella back again in their lives.
Arabella belongs to him now.
She is his wife and he would not divorce her.
He never wanted any other girl than her to be his wife.
Meanwhile, Arabella’s heart seemed to stop beating seeing Bill Sky appear in front of them top naked.
She was serious when she said to him not to go out but he defied her.
What could he expect from the kid-brain like Bill Sky?
“You!” Eric shouted in shock.
He couldn’t believe what he saw. Bill Sky came out from Arabella’s room.
Arabella’s mind panicked as she looked at Eric’s displeased expression.
The tension in the living room turned intensely high.
Arabella knew how pissed Eric was at Bill Sky.
He was dying to kill him that day in the restaurant but they weren’t able to meet.
Now that he saw him face to face, Arabella was afraid that what she had imagined last night would happen.
The killings…
Brutality…
Bloods…
Dead body…
Thinking all these, Arabella quickly snapped back to her senses.
“Yes, It’s me, Mr. Eric Grant,” Bill said lazily. His expression was weak but his arrogance was still screaming all over his aura.
“Arabella?” Eric looked at her trying to find a reasonable explanation of the current situation.
Eric knew exactly how she hated Bill Sky but how could she let him sleep with the man in his room?
Is he the only one seeing things differently?
Eric felt confused about the situation.
Of all people, Arabella would be the last to take this man inside her house.
“Brother, let me explain. Bill…”Arabella quickly uttered but Eric raised his hand to stop her.
He seemed didn’t want to hear her explanation anymore.
“That’s enough, Arabella.” Then Eric quickly held her wrist and dragged her to his side. “You are coming with me now.” Eric declared in a serious firm voice.
Judging his tone, he didn’t give Arabella a chance to refuse him. “Now, let’s go.” He added strictly.
How can he leave her with Bill Sky?
There’s no way he would let Bill Sky harm Arabella once again.
Arabella sensed Eric’s worries for her.
Maybe she needed Eric for her to snap back to her senses.
Eric was right.
Why did she have to be with Bill Sky?
Since he could walk by himself then maybe he can go home now.
If he would stay in her house then maybe she would go.
There’s no need for them to be together today.
He saved her life last night but she also saved him.
That just meant they are fair. They owe nothing to each other.
Arabella let Eric hold her hand and she was determined to go with Eric but when she turned around to leave, her other arm was grabbed by Bill Sky.
She stopped.
Eric stopped.
Then turned around with eyes scorching in anger.
“Bill Sky, let go of my wife. Listen to me when I am still nice.” Eric saw Bill’s bandage on his side with a fresh bloodstain.
If he wanted to harm him it was very easy but it was not the time to take advantage of a weak competitor.
It was not a fair fight and only for cowards but if he provoked him, he would never back down.
“Bill, let go. I’m going with Eric. Leave my house and don’t come back again.” Arabella met his bottomless eyes. She wanted to know what he was thinking but his eyes were no emotions.
Bill didn’t talk but he didn’t let go of her arm either.
“Let go of my wife now!” Eric couldn’t control his anger seeing Bill touch his wife.
Along with his roar was a strong push on Bill’s shoulder but Bill was unmoved.
Arabella was in a panic.
She felt the tension was going to explode badly if Eric and Bill would continue to be in the same room.
Between the two, surely Bill would be the one who would suffer since he was already wounded and weak.
He had a pale face and couldn’t even stand straight.
It was obvious that he was still in great pain but managed to show himself in front of them.
If Eric would punch him, there’s no doubt Bill would easily fall to the ground due to lack of strength but what is he doing?
Why is it that despite his weak condition, he still angered Eric?
Does he want to be punched?
Bill Sky would never humiliate himself, especially with Eric Grant.
“Bill let go now!” Arabella shouted.
She didn’t want anything messes to happen in her apartment.
Bill was still unmoved. His eyes just pierced into her.
Why this man is so stubborn?
