Chapter 72: What Love Can Do

Arabella and Bill’s eyes met. In her eyes, anxiety, sadness, disgust, and jealousy could be seen while in his eyes, it was full of disdain.

“Oh… So, look who’s here?” Jayson sounded like he could trigger a fight as he tried to score with Bill.

“Jayson, please stop. You promise me.” Arabella with a very low sound whispered at Jayson.

Jayson looked at her and couldn’t help to pinched Arabella’s cheeks in front of anyone. Then he blinked to show his approval, then he clung to her shoulder again as he felt a bit nauseous from drinking too much.

Feeling the scornful judgment from Bill, she quickly continued to stride forward in the small free space and that was the only time she saw Bill’s other companies. Gab with Wendy and Marcus with another girl. It seemed the boys were having a group date tonight. No wonder, cousins think alike. She then felt sorry for her best friend Farrah. How could this Gab still date his ex-girlfriend when he had already a new girlfriend?

“How sweet!” With a flirtatious voice, Trishia spoke up.

“What on earth is happening? That woman is something!” Marcus commented. He couldn’t believe Bill’s woman was with Jayson Hansen.

Since Arabella was already caught in the act, Trishia didn’t say anything more to provoke Arabella, but she let go of a wicked smile. For her, playing silent on the situation would build her good reputation for Bill. Knowing him, his type was the total opposite of her. So, she would play the opposite to suit his taste. In simple terms, her plan this time was to play the angel.

On the other hand, Bill was quite stunned to see Arabella at the bar with Jayson Hansen. The anger inside him was bursting. Earlier, he couldn’t stop thinking about her as she mentioned that she was sick and that she wanted to go home first. He even planned to bring her hot soup and food good to cure her sickness. He thought if Arabella would ask, why he brought those foods? Then he could just simply answer her as a return for his lunch meal prepared by her. By that, there would be no awkwardness between them, but when he arrived at their house, her butler said, she was still not at home. He suddenly felt worried and even felt guilty for not accompanying her. His heart was clenched by that guilt only to find out that she was with Jayson Hansen drinking and enjoying the night. He hated himself, but he hated her the most!

After that night of torturing her, he came up with a decision not to force himself on her anymore especially in bed. He hated himself for becoming a wild beast that he, himself, couldn’t control every time he touched her. He had felt pity for her when he saw her curled her weak body in the bed and even heard her crying in silence. That time, he promised not to touch her again against her will and let her live the way she wanted. Seeing her in the office should be enough for him, but he was wrong, even if he buried himself in his work, his mind was still thinking of her lustfully. How could this woman become the center of his fantasy? With that, when his cousins invited him to drink, he instantly said yes to suppress his unusual desire feeling towards Arabella.

Seeing Arabella and Jayson together, Bill then confirmed that the reason why she didn’t want to be his woman, it’s because she was not satisfied with only one man. He had met her again with William Zimmer and was introduced to be her boyfriend and now with Jayson Hansen. What a cheating woman?

They had already entered their VIP room, but Bill still had his mind with Arabella and Jayson. His grip on his glass was very tight that he could make it break anytime. His scorching eyes were bottomless. Seeing his reaction, nobody wanted to disturb him not even Trishia. She knew Bill’s face could kill and she didn’t want to be killed by just uttering a single word.

“Guys, I’m sorry. Let’s call it a night. I have to go.” Gab on the side finally spoke up. He was long quiet on the side as she couldn’t stop worrying about his situation. When he visited his bar for work, Wendy and Trishia showed up in his office. Wendy then called Marcus for a drink and Marcus called up Bill. It was quick and they were supposed to be only 5 but Marcus unexpectedly brought a girl so they looked like having a group date. Not even Arabella’s eyes didn’t miss to capture it. Gab was uncontrollably sweating at the thought of Farrah.

“Hey, don’t be such a killjoy.” Wendy with a flirtatious voice put her hand on Gab’s shoulder.

“Come on guys! You all know that I already have a girlfriend.” Gab replied and quickly took away Wendy’s hand.

“Since when did you become so tame?” Marcus added to provoke his cousin.

“Since I met her.” Gab then answered with a blink and smile. “Drinks on me! You guys just enjoy the night.” He then strode out hurriedly.

“I really don’t know if he’s still the Gab I know. Or maybe a powerful spirit is controlling his body.” Absent-mindedly, Marcus murmured in disbelief.

“Well, maybe that’s what true love can do.” The new girl spoke up and her words made a ‘ding’ to everyone’s ears.

After hearing her, all heads in the room turned to look at her annoyingly.

In a nearby hotel, Arabella checked in Jayson. As the latter couldn’t stand by his own, Arabella had to assist him inside his room. She tossed Jayson directly to his bed, but when she was about to exit the room,

“I love you so much, Babe. Arabella, you are the only person I love the most.” Jayson uttered in his drunkenness with his eyes close. “I want to be with you forever Babe. No one can change you in my heart.”

Arabella stopped on her way out. She turned to look at Jayson, who had already collapsed. His handsome face was still the same and he still had his calm whenever he sleeps. Those words of him made her heart clenched tightly. Remembering her current situation, she unconsciously sat on the floor mat. Then she cried again. She felt Jayson’s pain and she hated herself so much for not choosing him instead she gave her virginity to Bill. Maybe if Jayson was the father of her child, she would have not encountered difficulties. Too bad it’s Bill. The Bill, who was at this time with another woman. The time when she needed him the most, he was with Trishia. The man who loved her the most was dying inside and she couldn’t even give the same quantity of love for Jayson. How cruel of her to make the person who loved her suffer?

If the father of her child is Jayson, then she was sure that Jayson would put all his time and love into their child. Surely, her child would grow up like him. A loving father and a responsible man but she couldn’t attain to use Jayson. She appreciated his love for her, but just that, no giving of high hopes, and she could only offer him herself, as a friend.

“Good morning!” Arabella woke up with swollen eyes when she heard a deep but sweet voice. She quickly opened her eyes to see the owner of the voice while trying to remember the scene that put her in her current situation.

“What are you doing on the floor when the bed is so wide that could fit us both?” Jayson put up a playful smile. Then that was the time, Arabella remembered everything. Last night, due to her excessive crying, she had slept in her sitting position while her back was leaning on the edge of the bed.

“Okay. I have to go now. I still have to work.” Arabella then quickly stood up and was about to leave, but Jayson caught her hand.

“Hey, easy. Since you took care of me last night, at least let me drive you to your office, okay? But before that, let us have a quick breakfast. We still have plenty of time.” Jayson said without any hint of who’s her boss.

“Plenty of time? “She rolled her eyes. “Look, I can manage and I have to go now.” Arabella refuted.

“Okay! Okay. But maybe you could fix yourself first?” Jayson then dragged her to the door of the restroom.

After a while, Arabella came out and they had first a drive-thru before they headed to Sky Corporation. When Jayson heard that she was working with Bill, he’s shocked for a while, but Arabella explained everything to him that made him feel satisfied.

They arrived in front of the tallest and biggest building in the city, Sky Corporation.

“Thank you!” Arabella was in a hurry that she didn’t wait to let Jayson opened her door.

“Good Luck! And don’t forget to eat your breakfast. Remember your baby inside your tummy.” Realizing that Arabella was in a hurry, Jayson reminded her quickly.

Arabella with huge steps walked towards the entrance of the building, but someone caught her arm. She stopped and looked at the person who had blocked her way.

“Where have you been?” William with a haggard look showed up in front of her. His eye bags and dark circles showed that he didn’t sleep the whole night. “I’ve been calling you but your phone is off.” William’s facial expression was serious as his grip on her hand tightened. Arabella was stunned all of a sudden. What happened to William? She forgot to charge her cell phone yesterday because of her shockable situation.

“William, it hurts.” Arabella blurted out.

“Oh. Sorry. I’m sorry.” William quickly took away his hand on her wrist. “I’m just worried about you.” He added scratching the back of his head.

“It’s okay, but I have to go now or I will be late. See you again.” Arabella then ran to the entrance without waiting for his reply.

In the office, there was still no Bill’s secretary. She sat in the office and prepared herself to work, but she felt a sudden movement on her tummy. That was the time she remembered her baby in her womb. She smiled when she remembered Jayson’s reminder. Then she ate stroking her tummy.

After a while, through a glass wall, she saw Bill coming and went directly to his office without glancing at her room. With the feeling of floating in the air, Arabella wanted to check on him her workstation on the floor. Before anything else, she couldn’t just leave her work because she conceived her boss’ child. In the meantime, she needed this work to save for her and her baby’s future before her tummy would get obvious to everyone. After that, maybe she could get out of the company.

After eating, she quickly stood up and strode to Bill’s office. Knocking would be no use, so she got inside without his permission. When she got inside, she saw Bill was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed and look very exhausted. ‘Hmmm… Good for you! Maybe he’s with Trishia the whole night and doing all those nasty stuff.’ Arabella’s thought was mocking him, but deep inside she had felt a sting.

“Ahem!” Arabella pretended to cough to get Bill’s attention.

Then Bill slowly opened his eyes. He sat up and loosen his necktie.

“What?” Felling dissatisfied from being awakened, Bill looked at her with a stubborn look.

“Hmmm… I can’t see your secretary so I don’t have anyone to ask. Where’s my office?” She tried to be stabled from his awful stare.

“Don’t you know every second of my time is important? I don’t have time to explain. Now, get out!” Bill’s ruthless voice came out. His face was very annoyed that she couldn’t tell what had happened.

His scornful words gave her the heebie-jeebies. Arabella then turned and ran away.

Bill was left in the room with great displeasure on the face. He couldn’t sleep last night thinking of Arabella and Jayson together, but he suppressed his thoughts. He might be just thinking too much, but the scene of her this morning, justified his thought last night. Arabella was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. That could only be mean, she was with Jayson all night.

‘That woman!’ Bill cursed her in his heart while clenching his fist.
