SWNOVELS Chapter 37: The Newly Wed
Arabella quickly hugged her mom and Farrah.
"I have to leave now my Baby. I have to catch up the plane tomorrow." Jamie said to Arabella with a heavy feeling that she had to leave her daughter right after the wedding.
"Mom. I'm coming with you. You need me and dad there, right? Wait. I'm just going to change my clothes." Arabella thought of another way of escaping Bill. Coming with her mom was a good idea since Bill already got what he wanted.
"No. You can't do that. You just got married. You can't just leave your husband and the guests here?" Jamie completely disagreed with her daughter's decision.
"But mom. I missed dad. I want to go..." Arabella didn't have a plan to back out, but she was cut by the voice at her back.
"Mrs. Sky, Honey! My parents want to see you." Bill put his right arm on her shoulder and smile at Jamie like a very good husband.
"Mr. Sky, thank you for arranging everything for my husband and thank you for helping Arabella solved our financial problems." Jamie slightly bowed her head as of showing her sincere gratitude. "That's how I love my wife." Bill calmly said, but with a wicked smile.
Arabella was then stunned upon hearing the man on her side.
'Liar!' Arabella cursed him for making up story in front of her mother.
"Okay. I'm so much relieved to hear that you love our Arabella. Please take care of her. I have to go now." Jamie quickly bade her goodbyes to the couple.
"Mom, wait. I wanna go with you." Arabella was like a child holding her mom's arm and not letting her go.
Bill grabbed Arabella's arm and squeezed it tightly. As if he was reminding her to behave.
After the pain she felt, Arabella let go of her mom's arm. Then Jamie took the opportunity to stride as fast she could to the helipad area where a black chopper was already waiting for her. Farrah saw everything how Bill treated Arabella.
"Mr. Sky, Hi, I'm Farrah, Arabella's best friend." Farrah formally introduced herself to Bill as she raised her hand to him.
Bill shook her hand with a smile on his face. Farrah was ecstatic to see her idol in front of her that close. He was really the most handsome CEO. He had and elegant demeanor, but with a powerful aura. Arabella was so lucky to be with him everyday even if they don't love each other. Waking up in the morning beside him was something to die for.
"Hi. Ms. Beautiful. I'm Marcus. Bill's cousin. You are?" Marcus from behind butted in and raising his hand directed to Farrah. He was married but still liked to play with girls.
Hearing that he was Bill's another cousin, Farrah put up a fake smile on her face. She was about to shake Marcus' hand, but suddenly some other hand shook hers and held it tight. Farrah was a little shocked. She looked at the owner of the hand who held her. It was Gab. Before she knew it, Gab put her hand in his pocket locked with his hand.
"Woah! Did I miss something here?" Marcus' facial expression was puzzled.
Bill just smiled at Marcus with his effortless cuteness. He never saw Gab's possessive side.
Arabella and Farrah looked at each other. Farrah was like asking for help at Arabella.
"Marcus, she is off-limit. She's my date for today." Gab replied to his cousin with seriousness in his tone.
"Chill man. I just want to make friend with Arabella's beautiful friend. Okay? I didn't know she's already yours. Okay then, I'm out of here." Marcus had felt that he had to leave immediately because he was already out of place.
After Marcus exit,
"Mrs. Sky, shall we go now? My parents are waiting for us." Bill obviously wanted to detach Arabella from her best-friend Farrah. He saw the meaning of their eyes talking at each other a while ago. Thanks to his cousin Gab, he made Bill's plan easier.
"Wait. Can I join you guys?" Upon hearing Bill's words, Farrah went panic. She didn't want to be with Gab alone.
"Yes. Of course, you can." Arabella immediately got her best-friend. She quickly grabbed Farrah's other arm to follow them.
"Ms. Fin, I think we need to give the newly wed time for each other." Gab said while tightly gripping Farrah's one hand inside his pocket. It was more like saying 'You stay with me.'
"Yes. That's exactly true. I need some time with my dear wife." Bill added. Cousins minds truly think alike.
Bill quickly grabbed Arabella on his side again. Bill's eyes met hers like saying 'Behave yourself or you will be punished later'.
Arabella was a little scared of Bill's gaze. She looked at Farrah and said, "I will come to find you, don't worry. Will be just gone for a while" She wanted to pacify Farrah.
Farrah couldn't do anything so she just nodded to Arabella. Then the two went away swiftly.
"Why are you so stubborn?" Gab couldn't withstand his little annoyance to the girl beside him as he squeezed her hand under his pocket.
"Could you please let go of my hand now? Isn't it obvious that I don't want to see you?" Farrah was also irritated at him. She missed him, that's for sure, but she couldn't allow herself to fall into his trap knowing he had already Wendy and a son.
"So, would you rather go with Marcus than me? I'm telling you he's already married." Gab smiled at Farrah but with a mocking expression on his handsome face.
"What difference does it make from you having a son and Wendy but still flirting with me?" Farrah was really vexed. She hated why she still had feelings for him in spite of knowing the truth about him.
"Woah. Come on! Don't be too serious. I'm just saving you from Marcus." Gab said with a playful smile.
Gab was always like that. He never cared to explain anything and always left Farrah hanging on her madness.
"Okay then. I don't need you to save me. I can handle myself. You don't need to worry about me because we are nothing and we don't have anything." Farrah had felt that she was a bit harsh, but she needed to get rid of Gab. Farrah was actually afraid that she could not do it and give in easily to him.
Farrah forced her hand to escape from Gab but it was to no avail. Her hand was locked tighter by him.
"What are you doing?" Farrah said in an angry voice.
"Holding your hand. Just stay still and don't move." Gab replied calmly but with a strong appearance.
“Let me go.” Farrah ordered with a fierce voice since her strength was no match compared to Gab. "Nope. I don't want to." Gab replied like a child.
"You know that I'm so angry now. You are acting so immature." Farrah calmed herself. There's no used being angry of the man beside her because he was so hard-headed.
"I just miss you." Gab suddenly uttered that made Farrah dropped all her anger for him. 'I miss you too.' That was she wanted to reply, but how could she possibly say it if she knew about his relationship status?
The night came and the cocktail was continued.
In an elegant room,
"Arabella this is our gift for you. Welcome to our family." Kelly said while reaching out a small box to Arabella.
"Thank you. Mrs. Sky." Arabella replied formally. She was not used by this kind of event. For her, she was just playing a role play as what they both agreed with Bill.
"Oh! Come on Sweetie, you are now the wife of our only son. Please don't forget to call me Mom." Kelly sounded a bit disappointed.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Sky ahmmm...m-o-m, I'm not just used to it." Arabella looked at Bill leaning on the door with cross arms in front of him.
"Don't worry, you will get used to eating. It will take ample practice. Please open the gift." Kelly was satisfied upon hearing Arabella called her mom.
Arabella then opened the box and to her surprised it was a key.
"That is the key where you're going to live with Bill and our soon grandchildren." Ed was so excited about having grandchildren in the future. He only had one son so, he was looking forward to have many grandchildren in the future to inherit their bloodline.
Arabella looked at Bill with guilt in her eyes. Bill was just calm and with no emotion on his face. She wanted to ask him for help but he was just letting her took all the responsibility. What a scumbag! "Thank you, Mr. Sky." Arabella shyly uttered.
"Mr. Sky?" Ed repeated what she said.
"I'm sorry. Thank you, d-a-d." Arabella instantly blushed. She looked at Bill mockingly laughing at her.
"Okay, you two go back to entertain your remaining guests as we are going to take our rest." Kelly suddenly butted in.
"Alright mom. We are going now." Bill finally spoke. He was like in a rush that he quickly grabbed Arabella's arm and exited his parent's room swiftly.
Bill walked fast while dragging her hand on the hallway. Then he suddenly stopped. Bill opened another door and pulled Arabella inside a room. The room was bigger than his parents' room. It was also elegant "Hey! Why are we here? This isn't the cocktail." Bill drew himself closer to Arabella and hugged her.
Arabella was stunned. She felt that she was losing her oxygen and body became weak because of his body pressing his.
"I need to see Farrah. I promised her." She needed distraction for Bill's action.
"Shhhh... Just stay still and let me hug you." Bill hugged her tighter.
Arabella was very uncomfortable. She felt her body was so hot that anytime soon, she would beg him again to ease her.
"Mr. Sky, we don't need to role play, there's no one around." All she needed was to detached him from her body to stop all the crazy sensations she had felt.
After her words, Bill faced her and looked at her eyes with a deep gaze.
"I dared you to say it gain." Bill's simple words carried a huge threat.
Arabella didn't know what he meant. She was afraid to commit a mistake so she chose not to respond and kept her mouth shut.
"You are mine now. Don't forget to call me your husband." Bill said in a domineering way, then he invaded her lips full of passion. Arabella could feel her heart was full of pleasure and joy. How could she not respond to this pleasurable feeling?
The kiss lasted when the two of them felt like they needed to catch their breath.
"Get change. We need to entertain the remaining guests." Bill said then he quickly went out.
Arabella was left in a daze. Bill's kiss had something that she couldn't explain. Every time Bill kissed her, she found herself cooperating with every move he made. It was like her lips could not say NO to him. After she changed her clothes, Arabella went out to find Farrah. Farrah was just sitting alone near the beach with a faraway gaze.
Before Arabella decided to approach Farrah, she grabbed some alcohol for them to drink. Arabella knew that they were in the same boat with her best-friend.
"Where's Gab?" Arabella just wanted to put up a light vibe with Farrah.
"Duh. Just don't mention him. He's just a nobody." Farrah said with a smile, but with sad eyes.
"Okay. I know what you are into right now. Here, let's drink to that!" Arabella reached out a glass of wine to Farrah.
"Cheers." The two girls always found each other's comfort with each other.
"So, should I call you Mrs. Sky?" Farrah was obviously toying Arabella.
"Mrs. Sky my ass!" Arabella replied with irritation.
They didn't know that there were two shadows just right behind them drinking and unintentionally heard their conversation.[
