Arabella was dumbfounded. Her mind refused to believe Bill's words. Then she chuckled softly with a mocking smirk.
"Stop teasing me, Mr.Sky." She said with doubtful eyes on him. "You can't be serious, right? And even though you are, it's hard to imagine you and me together again. I will not enter your life ever again, Mr. Bill Sky." She honestly replied to him swearing to herself that she would not fall for his trap anymore as she had seen it and not only that she experienced it before.
"Arabella Jones, do you really think that you can get out of my life?" Bill asked her calmly but his tone was provoking something. He sounded arrogant in a handsome manner. Dangerous in a charming way.
Hearing him, she gritted her teeth in annoyance. She looked at him with irritation. His gorgeous wet look was splendid but she could not control his animosity as she pushed his wet body away from her and she quickly swam away from him but Bill was quick to grab her wrist and pulled her back to his embrace.
"Let me go!" She ordered frowning in irritation. Her eyes were killers.
The demand was put in vain when Bill wrapped her wet body tightly with his strong arms.
"Adam..." Bill suddenly whispered. His warm lips were brushing her earlobe which made her shivered not because of the cold water but the tingling sensations of his lips touching her skin. It was irresistible and she didn't know why Bill had always this thing that could always turn her on.
Hearing her son's name, Arabella's heart skipped a bit.
"What about Adam? What about him? What about my son?" She panicked as she could hear her blaring heartbeat like a drum.
Arabella felt her heart was going to explode.
She was exceptionally longing for her son.
"Calm down," His broad shoulders seemed to tease her but she struggled hard. She didn't want to have another intimacy between the two of them again in the water plus the thing with her son was not yet settled. She was dying to know about Adam and he was expecting her to calm down. That was impossible. For her, it was a good thing that he mentioned Adam. Now, she could talk about their son. Hopefully, this man would give her the benefit of satisfaction. Somehow she hoped that Bill would answer everything she wanted to know or better yet, he would announce that he would bring Adam back to her.
"Bill Sky, stop comforting me and tell me about Adam. Please tell me now." She was already trembling down inside as she was very eager to know her son's whereabouts. Adam deserved to have a mom. He deserved to be with her. No one could give him more genuine love than her. His real mother and that's her.
" Be mine again and let's give Adam a family." Bill sounded very serious. His tone was deep as his unfathomable eyes were like searching for her soul. His proposal was interesting.
Too fascinating that she could not envision herself, Adam, and Bill Sky as family. It was hard to imagine that she was going to enter Bill's life again but if it's the only way to see Adam again, how could she refuse him? How could she kick out his proposal when it was to her advantage?
But...
She was scared.
Just thinking about the pain she went through in the past, she jolted. Her heart was extremely angry with him and what he had done in the past. For her, she could not forget that he was the king of all evils. No matter how he showed her kindness, some things would never change and that was the man in front of her right now was a heartless beast. He was the one whose happiness was her sadness. It seemed like her pain was his entertainment. Bill had done awful things to her and they were the factors she needed to consider too.
"Mr. Sky, I am willing to do everything just to be with my son again and you know that!" She announced as she gulped to stabilize herself. Her breathing got excited but at the same time, it was nervous. If it was the only way that she could be with Adam again, she would be willing to risk it. Now, she understood Bill's talking about risking. She could risk for the one she loved the most. She could put her guards down for Adam. Whatever happened, she knew it was not new to her. She had experienced terrible things with Bill before and she got her revenge but the prize she had to pay was too enormous. As cruel as he was, Bill kidnapped Adam and framed her. She could not forget how she knelt on a concrete ground under the scorching sun begging at him for her son but he never listened to her.
He had no mercy.
He was a heartless man.
"Wait! Why are you doing this, Mr. Sky? What do you want from me? " Arabella asked with full of doubts on her expression. She believed that Bill was planning another trick for her. She knew Bill would not offer something advantage to her if he was not planning something bad for her. He was a scammer. He would never do things to her happiness.
"Please, I am begging you. Spare Adam. Do not use him for any of your plans. If you hate me that much, just revenge on me but no... not Adam, Mr. Sky." Along with her words were her tears dripping down from the corners of her eyes.
"Shhh.." Bill whispered as he wiped her tears with his wet thumb. Then she pulled her into his embrace.
In the middle of the clear water, the two hugged each other like they were the only people left in a magical paradise. Birds and crickets were chirping and the fresh air circulating around. The smell of nature stabilized the atmosphere.
After a while, Arabella was snapped back to her senses as she pushed him again but her push turned out soft against Bill's strong chest.
"What do you want now, Bill Sky?" She roared trying to get out of his domineering embrace. "We have done this before but it didn't work." She mumbled openly. Before, it was all about revenge. She made him go madly in love with her then suddenly, she dumped him. Whatever it is, she felt satisfied hurting him. Even though Bill didn't love her, the fact that she made him crazily angry was feeding her satisfaction but not until Bill took Adam away from her. It was the most devastating she felt day by day.
"It's Adam's request." He announced like spilling a secret. His tone was deep with eyes unreadable.
Hearing him, Arabella rolled her eyes. She knew it! There's no need for a dictionary for her to understand everything. Bill would never propose something like that to her in his proper mind. Undoubtedly, Bill was not the type of man that would use romantic words. He never knew love. He would not love someone other than himself. The romance was not to his liking and it needs to have a miracle for him to love someone.
With these, how could she possibly be with him again?
