SWNOVELS Chapter 514: Chasing Her Freedom
The next morning, Arabella woke up in a strange room again.
Compared to the present condition, she felt her body was gaining back her strength.
She seemed to already recover her energy and for her, it was a good thing.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
Her breathing was fine now but she wasn't sure if she was still alive.
The immense darkness was gone just like that.
Her eyes moved trying to figure out something.
Then she suddenly lifted her hand to touch her face.
She needed to feel the pain to know she was still living.
When she saw her arm, her eyes widened.
It was the only time she noticed that she had a drip again.
Arabella halted in fear as her eyes stared at the needle in her hand.
She was quickly taken aback as her memory brought her back to the time when she was held kidnapped by Damien.
Her memory in Damien's room immediately flashed across her mind.
She wracked her brain trying to remember everything at that time.
She knew there was something she needed to remember.
Something important that she could not afford to miss.
Arabella closed her eyes as she cupped her head trying so hard to think of the last thing in her memory and then, the next second, she frowned deeply. Her eyes orbs trembled horrifyingly as she remembered everything.
She remembered she successfully escaped from the window of her room but then Damien waited for her on the ground.
Damien captured her again.
Then, he forced her to go with him to the airport.
She strongly refused... she held the knife trying to threaten him but then.... then....
Arabella frowned deeply trying to think more but she failed.
It was the only and last thing she remembered.
Quickly, she panicked.
To her conclusion, Damien still held her.
It was Damien who brought her into a hotel-like room.
With her fast heartbeat, Arabella hoped that she was still in Capital Z because if she was already abroad then it was very difficult for her to go back to the city. She needed her passport.
She needed a huge amount of money.
She needed her IDs and credit cards.
Arabella felt hopeless with her situation but she didn't want to give up any single hope left in her.
Without wasting any second, she quickly pulled out the needle from her hand.
"Ah!!!" Her mind was shouting painfully but she ended by biting her lower lip then she gritted her teeth to stabilize herself.
At this moment, there was only one thing in her mind.
She would not give in to Damien.
She was not going to give him what he wanted and she had no plan to give him any satisfaction.
He needed to be punished by law for what he did to her.
He was not the Damien she knew once.
He was... he was more like the psychopath William Zimmer she knew.
He needed to have a good medication.
Arabella was sad about Damien.
Even though, she never wanted to wish him ill. She was still thankful and grateful to him.
For everything he did to her.
For being there when she was so helpless.
She just wanted all good things for him.
But for now, she needed to escape from him.
She needed to go back to her family.
Arabella jumped out of bed.
When she reached the door, she held her breath for a moment then she let go deeply.
Gathering all the strength, courage, and endurance she needed before she slowly opened the door.
At the back of her mind, she was going to run as fast as she could even though she didn't know where she was right now.
Even if she didn't know in what direction she needed to go.
Arabella was very determined to get out of the place and escape from Damien.
Now that she felt her strength was back, it was on her now.
After she opened the door, she quickly ran without no plan to stop or to be stopped.
She ran with her room slipper.
She ran like her life was at stake.
It was her only chance.
She needed to save herself or else Damien would force her to love him.
In that case, she would become Damien's forever prisoner.
"No! It can't happen!" With her thoughts, she strongly protested in the air while running in no definite direction.
"Madame, stop!!!" Some men were chasing her while shouting.
She could see those men were wearing their black and white uniforms.
She ran faster realizing that they were Sky's men.
It was probably her aunt Kelly's men.
She suspected that her aunt Kelly and Damien might have connivance to separate her from Bill because they were the only people now who didn't want them to be together. "Run... Arabella...run!" She kept on saying to herself not to stop as she was chasing for her freedom.
The men were fast too but she managed to get out of the building even the security guards at the main entrance missed to catch her.
Timely, a taxi stopped right in front of her.
She felt so lucky.
Even without money, she quickly jumped inside and the driver drove away leaving the Sky's men panting outside the building.
At the Sky Corporation building, Bill was in the conference room with the monthly board of directors meeting.
His eyes were unreadable.
He sat on the middle edge as the boss of the company when his phone rang.
Of all people inside, it was only his who had turned his ringtone on though the rule inside the boardroom was all ringtones should be muted once inside. That was Bill's policy.
When someone stepped inside, he or she should be ready for a serious discussion and should not be allowed for any disturbance.
When Bill's phone rang, everyone's eyes fell on him and his mobile.
The presenter stopped for a while and full of curiosity looked at Bill too.
Bill looked at his phone calmly and unbothered with all the gazes in him.
After looking at the caller, he answered without asking for everyone's permission.
"Yes," Bill said strictly yet calmly.
"Sir..." The nervous voice sounded. "Madame is gone. She escaped." Then, with fear for his life, George reported clenching his fist to take more of his courage. "What?!!!!" Bill's dangerous voice resonated in the board room while his eyes were the sharpest.
He just went away to attend this important meeting and he planned to finish it very quickly just to go back to her but now the report was making him a headache. A strong headache out of the sudden.
Suddenly, Bill smashed his fist on the huge wooden shiny table making everyone shocked.
No one dared to ask or react.
It was obvious that Bill was annoyed by something but he didn't say anything instead, he went out quickly leaving the people shut and confused.
"Sir, May I use your phone?" Inside the taxi, Arabella courageously asked the driver.
She felt relieved after seeing the familiar buildings and surrounding.
This came to her conclusion that she was still inside capital Z.
"Oh... sure... here." Fortunately, the old taxi driver was kind enough to let her borrow his phone.
"Farrah! Farrah! Oh, Farrah! It is a good thing that you answered." Arabella was so happy to hear her best friend's voice. She was the only person who she could call for help now. "Oh... Farrah," Arabella's tears fell down instantly like she had found her comfort with her best friend.
"Where are you?" Farrah asked directly. A huge wave of worry was traced in her voice.
"I... I don't know, I just escaped from Damien and..." Arabella was about to tell Farrah the whole story when she heard three beeps from the old taxi driver's phone alarming her that it was low battery and would turn off soon.
Arabella was troubled. "I'm inside a taxi now, this number is my driver and sooner it is going to turn off...." Arabella informed Farrah the fastest she could.
"Wait, let's meet in the luxury club. Okay? I will wait for you at the entrance. I will pay for the taxi. Okay? Now? I'm going there now." Farrah had replied faster before the conversation had cut. Arabella looked at the empty screen.
She still felt lucky to hear Farrah's instruction before it went off.
"Oh, my apology, sir." She handed back his phone.
"No worries, madame." The driver replied kindly. When Arabella arrived at the Luxury Club, she was still vigilant. Of everything that happened to her, she felt unsafe everywhere. With Kelly's men and Damien, she felt so suspicious of everyone. She quickly saw Farrah standing outside. Arabella quickly went out.
"Oh, gosh!" Farrah cried out loud as she quickly hugged Arabella.
Arabella hugged her too. She was so thankful that she still had the chance to see Farrah again. Arabella felt so much better that she was still in Capital Z. She hugged Farrah so tight. When Farrah had settled her fare, they went inside holding each other hands.
Walking in the luxurious hallway, Arabella could not help but reminisce about the first time she met Bill Sky.
It was all about her.
She kissed him there fearlessly.
She kissed a man without knowing his real identity.
With that kiss, their love story began.
Arabella's eyes then traveled to the exact corner where she kissed him.
Everything came across her mind in that instant.
That certain feeling when Bill responded to her kiss.
It was something extraordinary.
He awakened a strong feeling she had inside and she liked it.
She didn't know that a kiss tasted that good.
So good that she could not forget it and it felt like it just happened yesterday.
Indeed, Bill was the best kisser, and not just that.
He was also the best teaser.
Still not just that again...
He was the best person that made her moan the loudest in the bed.
He was the best slayer.
The best person who could awaken all her strong sensual desire and release all the satisfaction inside her.
Not to mention, he had an outstanding performance.
The best wild beast performance.
Thinking about the kiss they shared on that day as they both were strangers to each other, Arabella gulped and then smiled at the good silly memories.
She missed Bill Sky a lot.
"Why are you smiling, huh?" Farrah didn't miss seeing this.
"Nah, I just remembered something." Arabella was too shy to tell her first kissing scene with Bill Sky.
Farrah just smiled at her while they entered a private room.
When they settled, Arabella told Farrah everything.
They decided to get a couple of drinks to release Arabella's tension when Farrah's phone rang.
"Oh, wait... I have to get this call and I really need to pee." She winked at Arabella while striving to stand and walked away in a zigzag direction. Farrah was indeed tipsy. Arabella just smiled.
Farrah was really a great comfort to her.
She felt a bit of relief after Farrah promised to help her.
They tried to call Bill but he didn't answer.
Now, they contacted Gab, they asked for help and Gab promised to inform him and bring Bill to the place.
Arabella was excited.
She could not wait to see him, hug him, and be with him again.
She could even her heart was beating like a drum.
She didn't mind waiting there for more hours just to wait for him.
Her nerves were all glad to see him again.
Just when someone knocked on the door.
Arabella quickly stood up along with her unhidden smile.
She was so happy like her heart was jumping for joy.
She was very sure that the person behind the door was none other than her husband, Bill.
Without wasting any second, she ran in the door's direction, heaved a quick sigh, and then she opened it.
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
The person she was expecting was not there but instead three of Sky's men again.
Obviously to her, they were there to capture her again.
It could not be.
She could not go back to the same horrible situation again.
She could not go back to Damien or to her Aunt Kelly.
These people would do anything to bring her far far away from Bill.
They would hide her just to be separated from her husband.
No!
No way!
Instinctively, she quickly shut the door again.
She heard them knocking so hard.
Using another door, she ran away without waiting for Farrah.
She could not take some chances of being caught by her Aunt's Kelly men.
She ran and ran like she would never stop running even if she ran out of air.
She would run until her last breath.
She swore to run dying rather than not doing anything and all and be captured again.
The Sky's men were running to chase her.
She ran the fastest she could.
People around were curious about the palpable scene since it was too abnormal in a luxurious bar where people were running.
Arabella was aware about this but she didn't give any care.
She needed to save herself first until she stopped.
Her feet stopped automatically when her body bumped into another body.
It was a hard bump.
She felt this hard body instantly envelop hers.
"Madame, pls. stop!" She heard the men's quick footsteps coming her way.
Arabella had no time to waste if she wanted to get out of there alive.
She pushed the body instinctively.
She fought determinedly for her freedom but the body didn't dodge.
She fought hard.
Bravely...
She pushed him again and again but he didn't move.
Then he suddenly held her wrists to stop her but she could never be stopped.
She used her hard head to push his chest away.
Instinctively, she even kicked him targeting his balls.
Arabella did everything to get rid of the man who was holding her.
"Let go of me! Let go of me!" She cried out protesting strongly until her cries could no longer be heard.
People looked at the scene thrilled like they were watching a good drama-action movie.
Arabella halted when her lips were suddenly invaded by someone's lips.
Due to her hysterical action, she didn't see the person but his lips were delicious.
So f*ckin delicious making her heart, body, and mind malfunctioned but when she heard the people clapping, it quickly snapped her back to her senses, and she remembered her escape.
With all her might, she pushed the person so hard.
He bulged a bit then Arabella suddenly raised her hand and just in the next second, "Pakkk!!!" She slapped him so hard. "YOU!!!" She shouted disgusted but she immediately stopped after seeing the face of
the man.
