"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!"
Adam...
My son...
Arabella could not believe what she saw. She felt she was caught in a good dream that she didn't want to wake up and stayed trapped in that dreamland forever.
The best dream she ever had for a long time.
"A...A... Adam..." She stammered looking at her charming chubby boy running towards her still in disbelief stance. It seemed her body turned stiff that she could not make any movement. A drop of tear skipped her eye. It was so pure and it was followed by another drop and another drop until she finally sobbed.
"Adam!" The moment she realized everything was all true in front of her, she called her son's name lovingly. Gladness and excitement were written all over her face. The boy came running with arms spreading in the air. She bent down a little to catch her beloved son.
"Mommy! Mommy! I miss you so much!" Adam hugged her tightly. With all her strength, she got to lift the fat Adam and embraced her so tightly like she was afraid to lose him of her sight once again.
"Oh, my son! You just don't know how much I miss you!" Arabella muttered kissing his cheeks full of longingness. She looked at him still in disbelief. Her eyes wandered to Adam's handsome face. His round blue-greenish eyes, his crimson chubby cheeks, pointed high nostrils, and his red puffy lips. Arabella couldn't help to nudge Adam's nose with her slender index finger. She wanted to confirm that she was not dreaming. Adam looked at her with a wide smile. His eyes were filled with pure happiness and excitement at his father's surprise.
"You are the most beautiful mom in the whole world." It was always Adam's tagline every time she nudged the tip of his nose. Hearing Adam, Arabella hugged him again.
"Mom... Mom. I can't breathe." Adam grumbled along with his cute giggles.
"Oh, sorry. Honey!" She quickly loosened her embrace. "I'm so happy to see you, my son." She added with her eyes filled with love then she kissed him again and again like she didn't mind kissing him till forever.
"Mom! It tickles! Stop! Mom! It tickles! Mom! Mom!"
Adam's giggles and chuckles echoed the whole mansion. They were reunited unexpectedly. Just like that and Arabella felt very satisfied and complete once again. She could jump for joy!
Arabella put Adam to sleep after the long catching up. She heaved a deep sigh of satisfaction looking at his son who looked very similar to his father, Bill Sky. Adam was growing too fast. She could not imagine how many girls would try to lure him just to get his attention. It worried her so much when that day would happen then she heaved a deep sigh again as she traced the features of her son's face. Hopefully, Adam would not be like his dad in the future. A person who just made women cry. A person who treated women like his toys. Thinking about this, she was troubled. After a moment of staring at her son, Adam, she kissed his forehead and wrapped him with the thick quilt. Now that she found him, she had to come up with a good plan very quickly. She couldn't decipher why Bill bought her to Adam but she had no intention to dwell on that deeply. It was her chance. A chance to get Adam out from him. A chance to escape from Bill Sky. A chance to live the life she wanted. Adam and her living in a faraway town happily. Away from all chaos. Away from the people who just want danger for them. She could not risk Adam. Adam is the most precious to her. He was the reason why she was still alive despite all the dangers she went through. There were so many times she wanted to give up but remembering her son, she was always back to her vigor. Her inspiration was always her son. The main goal was to survive any obstacles, be alive, get Adam away from all the troubles in Capital Z, far away from Bill Sky, and start a fresh life with her son.
Her senses were snapped out when the doorknob was twitched open. She was sure, she did lock the door earlier but the person outside could unlock the door. She didn't need to see the face of the person behind the door as she was sure it was no other than the owner of the grand mansion, Bill Sky.
'Have sex with me.'
'I want to f*ck you now.'
Those words of Bill earlier suddenly came into her like a boomerang. Then she felt very nervous. How could she escape from this pervert? Her mind was in a deep mess. Before the door opened, she quickly slipped inside Adam's quilt hugged Adam, and pretended that she was already in her deep slumber.
Footsteps were heard approaching them. Arabella dared not to move and she even held her breath. When she saw Adam, she felt very overwhelmed that she forgot Bill's intention of bringing her to his grand mansion. Now, his words earlier came into her senses. Tonight, Bill would claim the purpose of her existence in his mansion.
For a while, the footsteps had stopped but she still couldn't find her calm. Bill was staring at his son and the mother of his child. His eyes were deep and dark. His expression was unreadable.
Arabella was sure Bill was inside the room as his exquisite after-shower scent wafted in her nostril. It was soo good that she didn't mind smelling it forever.
'Nah...Arabella, what are you even thinking?' Her subconscious complained about her craziness. She wanted to choke herself for bringing up some stupid thoughts amidst her present situation.
Just when she felt the quilt uncover her body, she trembled. She thought Bill would start his wicked intention inside his son's room. She held her breath getting ready to push him if he would try to force her again. She definitely would fight him. Then she started to feel cold. Very cold when she knew the temperature earlier was just so fine. With him around, she felt her body was covered with snow. Bill touched her arm. His skin touching hers immediately sent shivers down her spine. It seemed millions of tingling sensations were released inside her body. They were crazy and wild. Bill moved her arm away from Adam. She still didn't dare to move. Her leg was also moved away from Adam. Now, she was trembling in fright inside. Quickly, she wrapped her arm and leg back on Adam again. She didn't dare to open her eyes as she was afraid to be caught by him. If Bill would catch him pretending, she could not imagine the additional punishment he would grant to her for deceiving him. Whatever happened, she would play the best actress for tonight. She kept on acting like she was in a deep sleep and she didn't know what she was doing.
This time she held the sleeping Adam tightly. She just hope that Bill would go away and leave her and Adam in peace. All she wanted was to hug Adam the whole night as this was what she had been longing for but it seemed Bill would not allow it. Though she slept with him before, still Bill made her frightened. She couldn't get used to his presence.
For a while, she thought Bill had surrendered. There were no movements or footsteps from him. She released her breath a little bit to not suffocate herself while her senses were still very vigilant of her surrounding.
