Chapter 148 - Kelly's Condition

Mr. Sky, I already got the paternity’s result. It’s confirmed… That child is your son.” The head director of Sky Medical personally called Bill. He discreetly assigned him to do the procedure.

“Hmmm…” Bill muttered briefly. There’s no emotion traced in his voice.

“I will send the result now.” The doctor said hearing his plain reply.

“Thanks,” Bill uttered then hung up.

Adam.

That child is his son.

Then his memory brought him when they ate in the restaurant.

“So, my father is a coward.” Adam's words and disappointed expression that day were like boomerangs in his mind.

He sat on the sofa and rested his back and head on the backrest then he closed his eyes.

“Do all fathers don’t like their child?”

“You are right Mister. I have to be brave for my mommy.” Adam’s words prompted in his mind.

That day when he dropped off Adam, he saw Arabella at the park.

The girl who schemed him 6 years ago.

He was surprised to see her again. Her long smooth hair was dancing in the air. Her sweet smile and innocent eyes were still very pure. Though she was just wearing a shirt and pants, she was still very sexy like she didn’t have a child.

For 6 years, she never left his mind. He hated her for that. It was torture for him that even his sexual activities had stopped. His body was only longing for her. It seemed it found its comfort and satisfaction with only her.

He wanted to find and punish her but he gave her a chance to live.

He couldn’t believe that coincidentally he already met his son in country Y. He was on a business trip at that time and was invited by a very good friend of his mom, Celine. His mom asked him dearly to not decline the invitation on her behalf. That’s the first time he met his son.

He smirked while remembering the first time he saw his little boy copying his actions. That boy had his eyes. Strict and mysterious when not smiling. When he smiled, his eyes became mesmerizing like his mom's. Adam’s sharp-pointed nose and lips were his.

For a while, he observed Arabella and Adam before he asked his driver to give back Adam’s bag and discreetly get a strand of his hair.

At that time, he didn’t need a paternal test to know if Adam was his son but still, he was a businessman, he wanted evidence to confirm things and to convince himself that he already had a son.

Meanwhile,

“Oh! Gosh! Tell me I am not hearing this right now.” Arabella crazily refuted.

“You are just kidding right?” She added.

“I thought you wanna see Adam,” Bill spoke frowning but calm.

“Of course…yes! But…” She answered.

“No buts Arabella. Stay in my house if you want to see Adam.” Bill ordered.

“I will stay in your house but after you will rescue Adam, we will go back to my apartment,” Arabella said.

“With that guy Damien?” He frowned with a displeased tone.

“Bill, you don’t have the right to meddle in our personal life. Damien is with us from the beginning and he is close to Adam.” She said with annoyance in her voice.

“And you?” He asked provokingly.

“What are you trying to imply?” She frowned in annoyance.

“Are you jealous?” She added.

“No!” He quickly refuted.

“I don’t care about your personal life but if it matters to my son, I will.” He declared.

Arabella kept her mouth shut as she rolled her eyes on him. She couldn’t believe how he had the guts to say it after what he did 6 years ago in the bar.

After he watched her lying on the cold floor and beaten continuously while he was enjoying the flirtatious company of Trishia, he had now the guts to claim Adam as his son. She was speechless and disgusted by his guts as she wanted to vomit inside her car but for Adam, she could endure this thick-skinned man.

When they arrived in his mansion,

“Make sure to bring back my son safe.” She sounded before directly going out without glancing at him.

Bill drove away furiously. He reached his parent’s villa more than the normal time. Kelly was sitting calmly on the couch while drinking her tea. She seemed to wait for his coming.

“Mom. I’m here. Where’s Adam?” Bill without any emotions in his expression asked.

“Sit down my son and join me.” Kelly sounded calm.

Bill looked at her mom and sat in front of her crossing his long legs.

“I am happy to drink tea with you again my son,” Kelly muttered as she poured tea on her son’s cup.

Bill didn’t answer. He could see his mom’s acting was unusual.

“Where’s Adam mom?” He got the cup and drank it.

“Hmmm… Don’t worry, he’s safe,” Kelly said while pouring another tea to his cup.

“Mom. I need my son back.” Bill said with a suddenly serious tone.

“No. Adam will stay with me.” Kelly refuted.

Bill didn’t answer instead, he folded his arms in front.

“Don’t do this mom.” His voice was displeased.

“Bill. I can give you back Adam. Only if…” Kelly looked at him with a stern expression.

Bill looked at her waiting for her condition.

“You marry Trishia,” Kelly said seriously.

Bill looked at her without any change of expression.

“Okay.” He answered plainly.

Hearing his son’s words, she was satisfied as she smiled.

“I like what I am hearing now, son.” Kelly sipped her cup then got an envelope from her side table.

“Here.” Kelly reached the document to him.

Bill got it and opened it calmly.

Divorce Agreement

After reading, he put down the envelope on the table.

“Have that witch signed it so you can marry Trishia legally. Okay, my son?” Kelly uttered with a sweet motherly voice.

Bill didn’t say anything while still crossing his arms up his chest.

“It’s time for you to get rid of that scheming girl, Bill. She doesn’t deserve you. Trishia is willing to be a mother of Adam. She is sweet and she loves you very much. I am sure she will also love Adam as she loves you.” Kelly started to have sweet talks for Trishia.

Bill didn’t talk and let his mom do the talking. When it comes to his mom, all he just wanted was to listen to her never-ending litany.

“Okay.” Bill stood up with the envelope in his hand.

“So son, when can we schedule the wedding?” Kelly took the advantage to corner her son. Without Adam, she could not do it.

“You can schedule it mom whenever you want,” Bill answered.

“Now, I want to see Adam,” Bill said with a hurried-looking face.

“I bought Adam abroad Bill. He is not here. He will stay there until after you married Trishia.” Kelly replied sipping her tea meticulously.

Bill looked at her mom. His eyes darkened for a while but they quickly recovered.

“Okay.” He replied as he kissed her head then strode to go out.

“Stay son,” Kelly ordered that made Bill stop. He turned around.

“Trishia and her family would be here soon. Let’s have dinner together.” Sitting elegantly while sipping her tea, Kelly declared.

“Sure. I will be just right in my room.” Bill turned around and went directly into his room.

In Bill’s mansion,

Arabella was sitting on the sofa in the living room. This day was very tiring for her as she had no sleep. She decided to wash her face and patiently waited for Bill and Adam. Still thinking about Adam, she still couldn’t relax. She tried sleeping but sleep wasn’t her friend right now. Her heart was palpitating and she had to do something to make her calm.

Deciding to divert her messy thoughts, she got up from the sofa and went to the kitchen. There, she couldn’t help to appreciate how clean and huge Bill’s modern kitchen was. She started to open the ref and started cooking.

She was preparing dinner for Adam. A mushroom soup, pork barbecues, and tomato-based pasta. After she finished, her eyes landed on the long dining table and imagined Adam was happily eating with his food wearing his most cheerful smile. Arabella couldn’t help to smile as well about her thought. How she missed Adam so much!

Arabella woke up when she heard the sound of the opening and closing of a door. She had lost the track of time as she thought she could not sleep but she did. Her eyes surrendered when she was sitting on the sofa waiting for Adam.

Seeing Bill strode in, she quickly stood up.

“Bill, where’s Adam?” She quickly panicked seeing Bill was the one who entered the house.

Bill didn’t say anything as she strode to the sofa and sat down.

“Bill, you promised me. Where’s my son?” Arabella’s tears were already assembled in her eyes and were all ready to go down anytime.

Bill didn’t reply as he crossed his long legs and folded his arms to his chest. He then leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes.

“Bill, don’t do this to me. Where’s Adam? Where’s my son?” Arabella refused to stop. His reaction to her every question made her more frantic.

Bill didn’t move. She was like a ghost that didn’t exist as he was not affected even a single bit by her nagging and questioning.

“F*ck you!” Arabella’s anger exploded. He was the one who said that he would bring back Adam and she patiently waited, trusting him that he could bring Adam back to her. Of course, he’s Bill Sky. He was more than capable of doing anything. Trust for him was for Adam. But now, he just went home without Adam and the worst part, he was not talking to her.

She wanted to shout all her annoyance to his face.

After a while, the room echoed a bitter laugh. Her annoyance and anger were already taking her.

“I am so stupid!” She muttered with grief.

“How could I trust you again?” She added while still laughing bitterly. Her tears were falling uncontrollably.

“I forgot that you aren’t a father of Adam. You never wanted him that you wanted him aborted in the first place.” Her laugh became louder as her tears were flowing wild.

“How could I trust him to you! I am so stupid to trust Adam to a heartless man like you. Such heartless man!” She yelled in extreme disgust.

After all her harsh words, Bill’s eyes opened. He looked at her like sucking her soul out of her body. Arabella’s eyes were fierce and she was fighting with his dark serious eyes.

“I am just wasting my time here. I am going to your mom and settle this for once. I never want to be with your family. I never want to be with you. You can tell to your mom that she had nothing to worry about as I don’t have any plan to be with you. Not in this lifetime and never in my next life Bill. I will never love you!” Arabella angrily shouted cursing him with her unstoppable tears while she strode to go out of the house but Bill was quick to grab her wrist and pull her towards him.

Arabella lost her balance and shoved directly to his chest. For a while, her mind stopped but quickly regain her senses when she smelled his different fragrance. His fragrance was always addicting to her nose when they were together before. She was very familiar with his explicit smell but on this night, it was not his smell.

It’s a smell of a woman. She pushed him right away and struggled but Bill didn’t let her go. Arabella’s eyes widened when she saw a red lipstick mark on his white shirt.

“You are disgusting!” She struggled but Bill had no plan to let him go.

“Pakkk!” She slapped him but Bill still didn’t let him go.

"You didn't go to get Adam but instead, you are with a woman. You dirty freak!" She angrily screamed while brutally punching his hard chest with one hand.

“Let go of me!” She shouted angrily. “You are a disgusting pervert! Don’t touch me! I still have to rescue my son.” She was already flushed by anger. Bill wasn’t affected by her shouting and beating instead, he let her slap him but his grip tightened.

Bill looked at her seriously while tightly holding her wrists now. Arabella's stare was already killing him.

“Let’s have a divorce..” He said with a deep serious voice while his eyes pierced to hers.
