SWNOVELS Chapter 510: His Obsession
Arabella looked at the woman in shock.
Her eyes were questioning her but the woman could not look her in the eye.
She obviously felt uneasy with Arabella.
"Ma'am, you... I know you. You are Damien's mom, right?" Arabella asked quickly hoping she could get any help from the woman.
Woman to woman, Arabella wanted to believe that she had a heart if she would know what Damien did to her.
"Please help me, ma'am. Your son..." Without wasting any time, Arabella continued.
"No..." The woman cut her abruptly.
Finally, she faced Arabella with discomfort in her expression.
Arabella could feel the woman was struggling to look her in the eyes but even though she did.
"I am not his mother. He is not my son." The woman dropped the bomb with a firm stance.
She seemed to know what Arabella wanted from her.
Hearing the woman's words, Arabella halted.
The glimpse of hope in her heart suddenly shattered.
"I am just a paid actress miss. I do this for a living." The woman said directly without backing up.
On the other hand, Arabella had thought of it but she still wanted to believe in a miracle.
Now that she heard the truth, her mind rested on that issue.
Damien had hired someone to act as his mother.
The woman was indeed a good actress and she made her eat the bait.
Damien got a woman who had an extreme face infection so Trishia could pretend to be that woman at her wedding.
She successfully entered the venue amidst the strict guards around the area.
It was now all clear to Arabella.
Damien and Trishia had planned it all along to deceive her.
With the clear picture in her mind, she felt like losing her sanity again.
She could not believe that she was easily deceived by the people around her and by the people she trusted.
If only, she saw it coming, Adam and Bill would not suffer.
She would not be in an awful place right now.
Probably, her wedding was a successful one.
She would be on a honeymoon now as planned.
She was with Adam and Bill happy on a private island.
They went on sailing until sunset.
They would laugh as much as they could, enjoy the beauty of nature and play with their boy until they were drop tired.
All of these suddenly became only her imagination because of her.
She trusted Damien so much that she never thought of him making such wickedness.
Of all the help he gave when she felt like losing her life in the middle of nowhere and with a baby inside her womb, Damien offered help to her without asking for things in return. How could she not trust him?
He even followed her and Adam in Capital Z to make sure of her and Adam's safety.
He knew her background and everything about her but she didn't know him that much.
Even though, she could not question his background.
He seemed so good to her to be questioned or doubt him.
Arabella was just so thankful for Damien and his friendship at that time but now, she could not find that friendship relevant anymore. Damien chose to ruin their friendship and her trust in him. "How much? If you are a paid actress, then tell me how much do you need to help me escape from here? Huh?! My husband is rich. He can pay you more than Damien gave you. What? Double? Triple? Tell me! Tell me now!" Arabella said after mocking herself and the situation she was in.
"I'm sorry but I cannot help you because Mr. Lewis wants me to make you ready for your flight." The woman quickly refused.
"Look! Maybe you misunderstood me or maybe you don't believe me but I... my husband is rich. He can pay you. You name your price... he will give it to you. So, this is just a one-time offer. You can fix your face with the money I will give you. Just help me to get out of here, huh? Please. I really needed to go out from here. You are also a woman and I know you understand how terrible to be hindered and be away from your son and husband. Being away from your family. You feel me, right? Please help me... I don't want to be here anymore. I want to go. Please... I want to see my family, please." Arabella quickly held the woman's arms like she didn't want her to let go nor did plan to let her go.
She had to help her.
The woman heaved a deep sigh.
She became problematic after hearing Arabella but she still chose to be a loyal servant to her master. "I'm sorry miss but you are too late for that. Mr. Lewis is already waiting for you outside." The woman simply announced.
"No!" Arabella quickly refuted along with her bursting heartbeat.
She could not take that flight with Damien now she knew that Damien had an ulterior motive toward him.
They were not going to visit Adam and Bill but surely, he would take her far away from them.
It was a one-ticket flight for her.
Whatever happened she swore to not take the flight.
"I can't go with him!" She shouted angrily with her strong refusal.
"Please, miss. You have a flight to catch. I am just doing my job." The woman was apologetic but in her eyes, she had a firm decision as she was snatching her arm away from her. Arabella could clearly see this.
She had no time to think.
All she needed was to escape and that was her main goal. "Then sorry but I need to do this," Arabella took the single chance she got by strongly pushing the woman to the side and quickly ran to the opened door.
She ran like her life was at stake to it.
Arabella strongly felt that it was her last chance.
If Damien would successfully put her on that flight then it would be very hard for her to see her family again.
Maybe never.
She ran down to the empty staircase only to stop in the middle.
Her eyes widened seeing Damien wait for her again with a calm-looking expression.
He looked so tired too but unlike her, he had still a calm vibe in his body.
"Damien, let me go now!" She shouted angrily.
"I can't," He answered with their luggage on the side.
"Why have you become so evil? What happened to you, huh!?" Her anger toward him would never fade in this lifetime.
"Because of my love for you," Adam answered with his sharp eyes fixated on her.
"F*ck that love of yours! If you called this love? I don't want it!" She roared more rolling her eyes mockingly.
Her face was flushed due to excessive anger but she didn't care anymore.
She felt wasted by just standing there and talking to him.
Damien didn't say anything back.
He just looked at her seriously.
There was disappointment in his eyes.
After a while, he nodded and spoke again, "You will... you will learn to love me again just the way before," He said in a deep serious tone. Hearing this, made her feel horrified.
Damien was scary.
His eyes were scary.
She could see the obsession in his eyes.
"You can't do this Damien. This is illegal! I am not your property! I am a wife and I have a husband! You can't do this to me!" Her heart exploded.
"Just give me a chance, Arabella. Forget Bill Sky. He can get a woman or women after you leave. With his wealth and charm, it is easy for him to replace you. Those kinds of people could not live with only one woman, Arabella. Wake up from your dream! He will not love you forever. You are just a piece of his flavor. Now, you are his favorite but tomorrow you will not. And what about the day after?" Damien said full of accusations toward Bill Sky.
Arabella didn't like his words.
She smiled at him mockingly as she strode forward toward him.
Then she stopped in front of him, looked him in the eye, and, "Slap!!!" A loud slapping sound resonated throughout the entire house. With uncontrollable impulse, she hit him hard again.
"You don't have the right to talk bad like that to him. You don't know the person and you don't know how much love I have for him! You know nothing Damien1 You don't know about love because you are selfish!" Arabella hated him more for slandering Bill.
Her palm ached a lot but she endured it.
Hitting Damien was quite a relief.
Damien stood up firmly as he touched his swollen red cheek.
His mysterious eyes were deep as he looked at her.
She looked at him fearlessly.
Then Damien suddenly cracked a loud laugh.
He laughed like he found all of her words and the scene so funny.
He laughed his heart out.
Arabella felt off about Damien's change.
He was more than scary right now.
She could feel her body trembling again.
She felt this kind of terrible feeling before but she could not remember.
Somewhere... someone... she knew... she had this fearful feeling before.
Maybe because her mind was in a deep mess that she was busy in the present and didn't want to recall old memories right now.
Damien's laugh was irritating to her ears.
He laughed evilly.
He looked like a wicked person who had lost his sanity out of a sudden.
"Take the bags! We are leaving!" Along with his chuckles, he ordered the woman then turned around still laughing.
He didn't answer her.
"Let's go now, Miss." The woman grabbed her arm and dragged her from behind.
She was irritated as she quickly snatched her arm away, "Let me go!" She shouted irritatedly and quickly ran to the kitchen. This was not her plan but her feet guided her there.
The woman chased her.
Damien was just looking at her without an unreadable expression.
He seemed to have a lot on his plate to act coolly in front of her in this kind of situation.
Arabella suddenly grabbed a knife and swayed in front of them. "You want to get hurt? Then come!" She said full of desperation.
It was her survival.
"Don't do it, Arabella. You can't hurt someone." Damien sounded more like he was just trying to remind her and not because he was alerted by her action.
He seemed so sure that Arabella could not do things like this.
"How do you know, huh? Well, let me tell you this. I can kill all of you for my family! Now, moved!" She shouted as she held the knife like it was the most important weapon she had right now and her life was with it.
The woman stepped back in an instant but Damien was still unmoved.
He just folded his arms up to his chest and looked at her like he was studying her in front of him.
Back leaning on the wall, Damien still had a calm face.
"I swear Damien, if you will not move, you will be hurt so bad." She roared again along with the heavy thumping of her heart.
Damien frowned at her deeply.
There was no trace of fear in his expression.
His eyes were only questioning.
"Do you even wonder, where your father is?" Amidst her hysterical actions, Damien had still the nerve to ask her in a calm tone. Arabella jolted out of blue.
Her eyes widened in shock.
She didn't need to ask about her father as she already sensed that Damien didn't just capture her but also her father.
"What did you do to him?" She asked controlling her temper but her eyes could not deny despising him to the deepest part of her.
"Well, you don't need to worry about him. I asked for your hand and he said yes to me. Would you believe that?" Damien smiled asking. His eyes sparkled.
"Bullsh*t!" She knew Damien was pulling her leg. He could not deceive her anymore.
"Okay... Calm down. He is living far away from here. Don't worry, I gave him cash for his daily necessities. Come on, it's your father, Arabella. I will never hurt him." Damien smirked at her as his sharp eyes pierced into her. "Now let's go! Your father would not survive if I will be killed by you." He spoke meaningfully and smiled.
Damien strode in the door's direction but he stopped after a few steps.
Arabella was unmoved.
She was standing frozen on her spot and her body was shaking.
She looked so tired.
Her eyes were empty.
She seemed to lose her mind.
Damien stepped back to her.
"Arabella, let's go!" He ordered but she still didn't move.
With her unpredictable stance, one could easily say that she already lost her will to survive.
Holding the sharp knife firmly, she moved the edge of the blade toward her.
It was the only time, Damien got panicked.
"What are you doing? Are you insane?" He shouted trying to get close to her.
"I'd rather die Damien than be with you!" Arabella despised him so much. She was full of boldness and her eyes were flamed by determination.
"Okay... Okay.. that's enough, Arabella. You will get hurt. Come on, give me the knife." Damien was trying to calm her down as he reached his hand to her. "Bullsh*t! Let me go now!" She ordered growling.
"I will let you go but you have to give me the knife first." Damien strode closer to her and bent reaching his palm to her.
Just as he thought Arabella would finally give up her knife, suddenly, she suddenly sliced Damien's palm.
Blood gushed from his hand but he didn't budge.
Still, he was shocked by Arabella's unexpected move.
She just hurt him.
He was mistaken about her.
Arabella was quickly snapped back to her senses seeing blood.
She panicked too and this gave Damien a chance to secure the knife away from her.
"You come with me," Damien then covered her nose with a handkerchief then she fell unconscious.
The woman dragged the wheelchair and Damien stuffed Arabella in it.
At the airport, Damien pushed her wheelchair to the departure gate.
With the documentation expert he hired, all were easily cleared.
He pushed her wheelchair where the plane was already waiting for their take off but before they could enter the gate,
"William!!! Please stop this now!" Lira shouted begging behind them.
