Leave Me If You Dare - Chapter 227
Arabella and Adam drove directly to Damien’s house.
It was the mansion to which Damien had given her the key.
In the room, she put the sleeping Adam on the bed.
She looked at him with swollen eyes.
By just sneaking at him, one could easily say that exhaustion was eating him up.
She didn’t want this to happen to Adam.
Arabella’s heart was instantly torn into pieces.
Adam was always a brave boy.
He was different from the other kids.
He knew how to hide his real feelings so that they could not affect others, especially his mom.
Arabella never hated Adam when he easily forgave his dad but, at some point, she wished that Adam would be by her side always so she would not have a hard time living together with the Sky.
She would never have to live with them if not for Adam.
She would not have lowered herself being humiliated with the Sky every day if not for her son.
She would not probably be a servant in their house if Adam didn’t insist on living with his father.
All she had wanted was to stay away from Bill Sky and his family but Adam wanted to stay with them.
She hat to eat all their mockery and insults just to grant her son’s happiness.
They treated her savagely when she’s inside Bill’s house.
She could not blame Adam though admittedly, she felt hurt and disappointed inside.
When Adam had known his father, he had no resentment towards the man who made her suffer.
She’s not a hypocrite that she would just say it’s fine with her because it was already in the past but her scars that Bill had made were still hurting like it was wounded just yesterday.
The pain had never faded away.
The justice she wanted for her family was like a boomerang in her mind.
She was satisfied and felt safe in N city with Damien and Adam.
Living as a single mom made her tough in life and with Adam’s company, Arabella slowly buried those tragic memories in the past.
This way, she could live and completely raise Adam happily.
But she was wrong. Every night, Bill was always in her dreams. The tragic past seemed to be her shadow everywhere.
It was hard for her but eventually, Adam’s presence in her life had greatly helped her.
The revenge for her injustices was kept at the bottom of her heart.
At that time, she just hoped that she would not see Bill Sky ever again.
She never wanted to see him anymore but destiny was too cruel for her.
Seeing Bill again was not part of her plan.
She tried her best to avoid him but Bill Sky caught her and again, he used his cruelty to imprison her.
He used Adam to control her because he knew Adam was her weakest spot.
She loved her son so much that she couldn’t afford to lose him.
Bill wanted to control her life again.
Play his game and satisfied him in bed.
For Adam, she was left with no choice.
Some things didn’t change.
Bill was still cruel to her in the present.
Bill Sky would never change.
On the other hand, Arabella was so tired of escaping from him.
She was exhausted by his cruelty in her life.
His existence in her life gave madness to her.
Living in him was a torment for her.
A woman who tasted Bill’s cruelty would never fall again with his trap.
Her traumatizing experience with him would not let her be blinded by his fake sweetness.
The pain he inflicted on her in the past was already engraved in her heart.
People would hate her for sure but how could they expect her to fall in love with the cruelest man in her life just like that?
What about her father?
He died without justice.
And her mother suffered from trauma and stayed her remaining life in the hospital that was supposed to stay happily with her and Adam.
How could one expect her forgiveness just like that?
How could one expect that she would fall in love right away with Bill Sky?
She’s not so stupid enough to jump right away in his bed and made him her beloved man.
It was all part of her plan.
Of course, she was only human and she’s not a martyr.
A woman who could feel anger, hatred and wanted to get revenge on the people who made her suffer.
Call her selfish but in her heart, she didn’t want to hurt Adam.
Adam was the most important person in her life.
Her guilt was killing her every second but she could not just leave her son with Bill who wanted to abort him from the start.
Arabella knew, Bill would do everything to get Adam but with Adam’s anger for his father, the boy would not choose him anymore.
The boy just wanted to have a father.
He was longing to be with his real father and most especially, Adam wanted to fix his family.
Arabella could clearly see that but there are really things that couldn’t be fixed.
Hatred, anger, jealousy, and vengeance, they’re meant to ruin everything.
After the death of her mother, Jaime, the plan was to go back to City N.
There, they could continue living just like before.
They didn’t need fame and money.
All she needed for his son was a happy peaceful life.
She swore to forget everything in the past for Adam.
Arabella heaved a deep sigh.
She looked at Adam again and stroked his head.
“I’m sorry, Adam.” With a heart full of remorse and sorrow, Arabella whispered to the poor little boy who was exhaustingly sleeping.
She kissed him full of love.
After a while, she dialed a number on her phone.
“Damien, we are here now.” She reported in an exhausted tone. Her tone was supposed to be cheerful because she finally did her plan but she also put Adam in a very bad situation. It never made her happy but for her, it was the only way to get Adam away from Bill.
She had no choice. She just had to act fast.
“I will be there soon. Stay there, Bill’s men are still following me.” Damien reported.
When Arabella went to the Sky Corporation, she had already switched her car to Damien.
Her car was parked already in the basement with Damien.
Everything in her plan worked.
Firstly, getting Bill’s heart.
She had promised herself to make Bill Sky fall in love with her and she succeeded.
Bill was a different person now. His romantic side came out for her. She could feel it by his actions and the passionate activities they had every night.
Secondly, his company.
She got the biggest shares and a position in his company.
She got Bill lost a project for the first time.
Arabella was the one to steal the information from his laptop and gave it to Eric.
Eric had known her plan for this and he supported her.
Third, she succeeded in ruining his relationship with Trishia and his mother.
This was just easy for her. This plan was not for Bill but the two extra people who she considered pests in her life.
Trishia and Kelly should be taught a lesson and it’s time for her to show them what she’s capable of.
A nice woman could also be a villain if provoked.
Who wanted to be insulted and treated unfairly for the rest of their lives?
She swore the naive innocent Arabella was gone.
Lastly, to break Bill Sky’s heart.
How would he feel when his only son is cursing him right now?
He loved a woman for the first time but ended up tearing his heart.
“Please take care of yourself. I will wait for you here.” With full of concern, Arabella said to Damien.
“Don’t worry, I am just waiting for Bill. Tonight, everything will go as planned.” Damien’s tone was confident. He was reassuring her.
Arabella heaved a deep sigh.
“I owe you this, Damien.” She muttered sincerely.
“Don’t mention it! You and Adam are the most important persons in my life.” Damien’s tone was very sincere too. Arabella could feel his words wholeheartedly.
“Wait. Bill is here. Call you back!” Just after a swift second, Damien hung up the phone.
Hearing Bill’s name, Arabella instantly felt nervous.
All her plans had worked.
She already knew that Kelly would reveal her plan to Bill but that’s actually part of her plan.
Now that Adam was angry with him, his company is at stake, she believed Bill would not do anything that would ruin his life.
It seemed the table had turned.
Arabella grinned triumphantly.
This time, Bill’s life is in her hand.
She could make it crumble whenever she wants.
The Arabella who always had no choice was now had full control of everything.
This time, she swore Bill could not touch her and Adam anymore.
She just wanted to live with Adam in another country again.
Away from Bill Sky.
She would like to have a fresh start.
Her share in the company, she would sell to Eric if she didn’t need it anymore.
She would totally ruin Bill Sky through it then she would give justice to her father and mother.
Her heart was already solid.
She would do anything that would ruin her.
Now, it’s time for her to shine.
She would not allow anyone to insult her and treated her unfairly again.
She would crush them with all she got.
Kelly Sky, Trishia Meyer, and most especially, Bill Sky.
After Bill had known her plan, Arabella believed that he would be cursing her again.
He should be because that was part of the plan.
Arabella could not continue faking everything.
She could not risk her heart as she knew her heart was always the traitor.
She wanted Bill to get angry with her again.
That kind of anger that he didn’t want to see her ever again.
If that happened, she won’t have a hard time ditching him away and they could fly to another country easily.
This time, he could not bully her anymore because of the share of his company under her name.
That share would do all miracles.
It would turn all impossibles into possibles.
She was so sure, Bill would never act recklessly when his company is at stake because that was his name and his grandfather’s hard work.
Arabella smiled at her clever idea.
At first, it was just a plan.
Now, there’s no turning back.
She just wished she could see Bill’s shocking face right now.
She was dying to see that Bill was broken.
With a broken heart.
A broken spirit.
A broken trust.
and a total broken person.
She would love to give him a round of applause and a standing ovation.
Meanwhile,
At the accident, ambulance, policemen, rescue and medics team, and his own men were in the area.
The road was closed to do a thorough search for the passengers. Arabella’s car was already lifted in the air by a huge helicopter.
The water was surrounded by professional divers from the rescue team.
Bill was back in his car. He was looking at the tracker absentmindedly.
Earlier, the tracker showed Arabella and Adam’s location, now it showed nothing.
Bill looked at his phone tracker soullessly.
Then he closed his eyes while his head was leaning on the backrest.
He heaved a deep sigh.
Intense pain slowly invaded his heart.
Then, tears were starting to come out from the corners of his eyes.
After a while, someone knocked on his window.
He opened his eyes and went out of his car.
“Sir, your forehead needs to be treated.” The head of the rescue team was supposed to report the situation but seeing Bill’s forehead was with blood, the man was alarmed.
“No need. Please go on.” Bill refused. He had no interest in treating his wound. His full interest was with his missing family.
“Sir, the car was empty. We already searched the deepest part of the water but we didn’t find any. We believed that the passengers’ bodies were drifted by the big waves somewhere.” The head of the rescue team reported.
“And the chance of survival?” Bill quickly asked.
“Zero…. ” The man directly answered not giving him any hopes as the water was too uneasy and their bodies were in the water for a long time.
