Forthwith that everything was all cleared to her, she heaved a heavy sigh of weariness. She hated herself so much. How could she say those words to Bill Sky? The man she hated the most.
Her cruel oppressor.
The monster!
"What happened, Arabella?"
"Why you're so dumb, Arabella?"
"What's gotten to you, Arabella?"
She flushed while her nervousness was eating her up. How could she possibly open the door and faced Bill Sky?
With so many regrets, she giggled realizing the nastiness she had done that evening.
After a while, another knock on the door was heard. Her heartbeat was racing so fast. She didn't want to open the door so she put his hands on his ears staying rooted on the bed.
"Madame, please open the door. Mr. Sky has something for you." A man's voice was heard behind the door.
Hearing the voice, Arabella heaved a sigh of relief then she shook off her head to get rid of her nervousness. She could already imagine Bill's mocking face her and his grim smile for her.
"Ahhh!" Arabella shouted giggling.
"Madame, are you okay?" The man behind the door asked worriedly after hearing her scream.
"I'm not!" She quickly answered absent-mindedly. "Yeah... I am fine." Regaining her senses she coughed a smattering.
Then, she strode towards the door and opened it.
"Where's Mr. Sky and where am I now?" Arabella quickly asked as she wanted to hide from him. She wanted to hide from him her entire life.
"Madame, you are in Mr. Sky's uphill mansion in Capital Z." The middle-aged man answered politely.
Hearing him, she was quickly appeased. It was a good thing that she was still in Capital Z. If Bill brought her abroad, she had to cling unto him to get back to Capital Z. Now, she had no problem with fleeing.
Bill should not see her wherever he is.
"Madame, Mr. Sky is downstairs waiting for you. Here, please take these suits." The man held something heavy inside a clear bag.
Her eyes widened having a clear view of the things inside the bag. They were motorcycle gears. Puzzled with the things she was carrying but she had no time to engage with them.
"Please wear it, madame, Mr. Sky is waiting for you already outside." The man instructed her then when he was about to turn around, Arabella held his arm.
"Wait!" She quickly stopped him from leaving. " Is my son here? Adam... Adam Sky? Would you know where he is right now?" Arabella asked full of hopes that she would find Adam inside this mansion. It was not new to her that Bill had a lot of mansions inside Capital Z. The only person she had to find is Adam wherever Bill hid him. She was certain that Adam was living in one of his mansions.
The man looked at her.
Then he shook his head.
"The young master isn't here madame." He answered plainly. "And I don't have any information about his whereabouts. I'm sorry madame." He slightly bowed then left. This servant seemed to know his right place and that was serving his true master loyally.
Arabella froze holding the heavy bag as she could feel an extreme disappointment in her heart. She was like a candle melting. The sparks lit in her eyes quickly receded.
She turned around and then tossed the hefty bag on the mattress. She quickly took a shower and then went out. Since Adam was not inside this mansion, she planned to escape from Bill Sky.
"You are the most handsome man and the sexiest in the universe." Those words flashed across her mind. Her tone and how she enunciated per words seductively plus her nasty movements towards him.
"Gosh! Gosh! Gosh!" She could not help messing her wet hair and shook her head repeatedly.
"Okay... Calm down... Inhale...Exhale.." She had to calm down to exit the mansion without being caught by Bill Sky. After, she quickly opened the door only to find out the man earlier was behind the door standing sturdy enough to block her way.
"Madame, Mr. Sky is waiting. He had words for you.." The man paused for a while like he was weighing how he could say the mean words from his boss in a nice way to her.
"Madame, I suggest you wear the vest because escaping her is not recommended. You have no mode of transport in this place." He explained sincerely.
"I don't mind... I can walk. Just tell me where's the exit of this house aside from the main entrance." She ordered determined to escape from the mansion.
"I'm sorry madame but you can't do that." He quickly refused. " The thing is... Mr. Sky would get you here in a minute if you will not come down with or without a vest. I suggest you wear one for your protection madame." He politely bowed.
Arabella clenched her fists hard.
She was not ready to see him. Just thinking of it, she blushed. It was too embarrassing on her side.
"Bill Sky!?" She was annoyed by his smooth attack. Then she held her shoulder and hopped on his motorcycle.
"Hold on tight." It wasn't a request but order as his tone was filled with necessity but Arabella refused to follow. As her eyes wandered outside, she could not help to appreciate the view. It was amazing!
It was a vast land uphill with only Bill's mansion standing in the area. The servant was right. If she had escaped, she would dry herself out from walking. It would take her 1 month of waddling maybe to get away from the place.
Even though she rode on his big bike, she refused to follow his orders. "Hold on tight your foot!" She muttered in the air rolling her eyes as she gripped at the back railing when Bill drove the bike speedily and stopped abruptly which made her shove at Bill's back forcefully.
"Grrrr..." She was breathing fire that she had to grasp Bill embraced him not to fall from the bike.
"Bill Sky, I'm gonna kill you! Where are you taking me?" Arabella roared in anger. "I still want to live! Slow down!" She was shouting as she could not contain her panic. Bill was driving furiously amidst her shouting. Arabella wrapped his waist tightly afraid to fall. The fresh wind was touching her face.
"I don't want to die..." She muttered in the air closing her eyes while not losing her traction from Bill's waist.
Left without any choice, she leaned over towards Bill's back. Her body was pressing his back.
"Open your eyes." After a while, Bill ordered.
Arabella heard him but she had no plan to follow. She was totally afraid.
"Trust me. Open your eyes." Bill said it again. His tone was sincere.
"No! I will never trust you! So don't ever think about it." Arabella answered. Her tone was like declaring a conclusion.
After her words, Bill drove the motorcycle in a zigzag dropping every side of the motorcycle. Arabella's hug was tighter afraid to fall out from the bug bike then she quickly opened her eyes. Her jaw dropped having the magnificent view in her sight. It made her instantly calm.
"Wow!" She muttered in surprise.
Then Bill's speed had normalized. They were hitting the road on a big motorbike. Every corner of the place was greens and flowers. The weather was magical. It had the right mixture. Not too cold, not too warm. Pine trees were everywhere. Arabella started to appreciate her decision. She felt if she didn't ride with him, she would not be able to see the perfect nature scene. She could tell that the beautiful place was only for motorcycles as the road was narrow but the view was the best place for her compared to other places she had been to. It was very relaxing that she could feel all nervousness had vanished in an instant.
"Do you like it?" Bill asked with a chill tone.
"Yes.'" She answered smiling. "It's very beautiful." She added with an unbelievable tone.
"You are more beautiful," Bill muttered in the air which made her blush.
