Chapter 471: Maybe This Time
Chapter 471: Maybe This Time
Arabella was dumbfounded.
It seemed that the time had stopped for her after hearing Bill's proposal.
Her eyes widened as she gritted her teeth to check if she was hearing Bill's words right.
She was in great disbelief but the huge diamond ring on her hand had proven to her that she wasn't
imagining things or hearing things in her mind. It was real. Bill was asking her to marry him again after
the wildest long night they shared.
He wanted her to be his wife again.
She didn't expect that Bill would propose to her again.
Who would have expected after the tragic past?
After she wronged him? After the turmoil in their life?
So many bad things had happened and so many things she and he endured but happiness seemed to
be not on their side.
Happiness was nowhere to be found.
They kept on hurting each other and even their loved ones were greatly affected.
They were played by fate but true love finds its way.
Love prevails in the end.
Bill was proposing.
Is this the right time for them?
If they didn't make it before, maybe this time, they would find true happiness with each other.
May this time, fate would be on their side.
Maybe fate would finally give them what their heart truly desires.
Should she take the chance again?
What if... what if they would fail again?
What if things would go complicated again?
Would love could protect her and Adam?
Arabella's thoughts were continuous as her heart was unquestionably happy but her mind was too busy
thinking of some possibilities that could eventually happen to her relationship with Bill, to Adam, and to
the people around them.
She still had lots of worries and fears that she had to overcome.
She was afraid to be hurt again.
Her fragile heart had already suffered enough pain.
Of course, she didn't want to be hurt anymore.
Before, when Bill asked her to be his contractual wife, it was not the kind of sweet proposal she had in
mind.
The normal one or she could say one of the most special events of a woman's life where the man knelt
on one knee and get her hand to ask her for marriage.
The man would put so much effort to please the girl so he could hear a positive response from his
beloved.
Then a man would gently slip a ring on her finger ring as a sign of their engagement to each other.
With Bill before, he simply asked her to marry him and offered a contract.
It was too different from her dream proposal.
Bill Sky was not the sweet type.
He wasn’t the romantic type and aside from that, he didn’t intend to marry her sincerely.
It was a contractual engagement and marriage.
He was just using her to deceive his parents at that time.
He used her ugliness to give his parents a hard time as Bill wasn’t the type to be dictated to.
If it wasn’t for his parents’ request, he would not bother to fake marriage or get close to marriage.
He was too allergic to this word.
Bill was just so tired of them bugging him every day and his dad was already using his health condition
to blackmail him.
With that, Bill was forced to find a woman who was too far from his type.
He had no interest in marriage not even in a single commitment.
Women for him were just for his pleasure and nothing else.
Bill’s life revolved only around his work and business.
So, at that time, Arabella would never expect that he would love her.
From the start, she never expected anything from the man until something happened to them.
Until one night, they breach the most critical rule in the contract.
They broke that rule and they were both aware of that.
It was something that should not happen in the first place.
After that night, everything turned messy.
A huge lot of mess.
Adam came in unexpectedly.
She became a mother.
Her life started to change and crumble.
She hated Bill a lot and curse him like he was the most villain in her life.
She hid from him and was traumatized to see him again but fate intervened again.
They met again.
He is the complete definition of arrogant.
He is cold and hates to waste his time on useless and nonsense people.
His eyes were strict and intimidating.
Bill is overbearing and autocratic type.
His serious demeanor made people uneasy whenever he was around.
While she is the nerdy virgin.
She was fond of studying and flourishing with new skills.
Even though she had Jayson even before, she never let him touch her as she believed that the two
couples would only engage in this kind of activity after marriage.
She never thought that her conservative principle would be changed after meeting Bill Sky.
Bill Sky made her life twisted.
Their first encounter was a terrible one.
Who would have thought that of all people in the world, she would kiss Bill Sky out of nowhere?
She kissed him to get rid of Jayson that time.
She thought she just kissed a simple random guy but to her shock, it was the devilishly handsome Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
powerful billionaire Bill Sky.
He was the richest guy in the city and the most handsome bachelor.
A gold.
The most expensive gold in women's eyes.
Who would have thought that she would encounter the most sought-after bachelor in the city?
At first, she could not believe it.
Her heart was palpitating tremendously just thinking of the man.
Who would not know Bill Sky?
He was like a rare man in the city who girls wanted to catch like a big fish but some wanted to avoid but
as for her, she belonged to the second group of people who didn't want to meet him.
Though he was the most handsome, she never wanted to entangle her life with such a big wig.
She just wanted a simple and peaceful life.
Arabella was too different from the others.
She never wished him to be her man but again, fate was too unpredictable.
If only she could undo that night she kissed him, she would not hesitate of doing it.
That was what she wished to do but that was too impossible.
After that night, their life started to intertwine.
Bill had his way of getting what he wanted from her.
That time, she became his contractual wife.
It wasn't easy for her back then.
She and Bill were too opposite.
Their characters constantly clashed creating a whirlwind relationship.
She hated him so much but she began to love him secretly.
She knew it was wrong as it's very impossible to love him and expect him to develop feelings for her
but she couldn't control it.
Amidst his arrogance, rudeness, and overbearing traits, she felt something more for him.
It wasn't what she wanted.
She tried to kill the feeling but then instead of getting rid of it, her feeling for him grew rapidly.
She tried everything she could do to erase all the inexplicable feelings for him but she failed.
She even swore not to fall in love with him but she failed again.
Life for her was very difficult with Bill.
Aside from fighting against her own feeling, Bill was cruel to her.
That was what she thought.
All her miseries and bad lucks was because of him.
She blamed everything on him until she found out that he was helping him all along.
Bill was not the type to explain and announce the good things he had done for her.
He was there all along.
She thought, he conspired and plotted the bad events in her life but she was wrong.
She was wrong all along.
"Yes! Yes, Bill. I will marry you." Thinking about the tragic past and the good time she was with him,
Arabella was still grateful.
Her heart wanted him.
She undeniably loved him.
Maybe it was time for her to settle all her worries and fears.
Maybe it is time for her to trust Bill again.
Trust his love with all her heart.
Maybe it's time for her happiness.
She deserves to be happy.
Hearing her response, Bill smiled and hugged her naked body tightly.
"I love you, Ms. Arabella Jones. You are my peace of mind and my home." Bill whispered as he rested
his forehead on hers.
Arabella felt her heart smiling due to overwhelming happiness.
"I love you too, Mr. Bill Sky. Even before, you always had my heart. You are the only man I wished to
love and to be with in this life." Arabella whispered back lovingly.
She loved Bill so much now that she could not let go of this chance.
She was willing to risk for her happiness rather than not taking the chance at all and questioning or
regretting after.
Taking a chance to be happy with him was going to be worth it but first, she needed to consider his
mother, Kelly.
Arabella knew it would be too hard but she was willing to do anything just for Kelly to accept her again
in their family.
It would be nice if Kelly would bless their marriage.
After all, she is Bill's mother.
Arabella was determined to get what she needed to do for Kelly before they pushed through the
marriage.
After hearing her sweet words, Bill kissed her passionately.
She kissed him back flaring up a wild flame again.
They kissed like there was no tomorrow.
The kiss was filled with passion and love for each other.
Then, their naked bodies started to intertwine again and that was the start of their lovely morning.
Meanwhile, In the Senator's mansion, "What are you doing here?" The old senator asked surprised at
what he saw but he quickly recovered as he smirked uninterested in the uninvited visitor. "How did you
get here?" He asked frowning with a pissed tone.
"I am here to get my mother." The visitor answered plainly. It seemed she wasn't there for a long stay
but a quick one.
"Hahaha!" Suddenly, the senator laughed loudly.
He seemed to hear the funniest joke in his entire life with his flushed expression due to intense
laughing.
"Are you... are your brains also burnt, Trishia?... Hahaha!" The senator uttered mockingly.
He wasn't surprised that this cunning woman survived the collapsed building and the bombing she
initiated.
"You see my dear stepdad, I can't die without all my enemies with me. The devil said to me: You can't
come here in my territory without them until you bring them with you here, that's the time you can enter
my palace," Trishia responded mimicking a wicked character in front of the senator. "... and oops! the
devil especially mentioned your name, my stepfather." She seemed to be in the mood to ruin the
senator's morning and she prepared for it.
"F*ck you!" The senator shouted pissed at her. "Get out before I will totally burn you down! Do you get
me?" The Senator pointed in a direction. His eyes were like sharp daggers pierced into Trishia.
Trishia smirked with playful eyes.
Seeing the Senator's anger made her satisfied.
"I will not. I am here with my mother so, I will not go out without her." Trishia simply announced and
strode in a direction. She needed no permission to see her mother. Trishia was going to the master
bedroom where she was sure her mother Alice was there.
"Mom! Mom! Open the door now. I'm here to get you." Trishia shouted loudly but no one answered.
"Mom opened this d*mn door right now!" She hysterically knocking the door loudly but no one
answered.
"Oh, shut your f*cking mouth this early morning!" The Senator sounded behind her.
"Where is she? Where did you hide her? huh?" Trishia faced the senator with her fury.
The senator's eyes turned serious. "Your mom... Alice...." He paused. " She... she killed herself after
knowing that you died there." The senator answered.
"Liar!" Trishia shouted angrily. She would never believe the senator's announcement.
Then the senator grinned wickedly.
"Poor girl! You killed your mom but don't worry, you will meet her soon as I decided to kill you." The
senator suddenly pointed Trishia at a gun. "Since you are inside my territory, no one will know. And
since everyone thought that you are dead, no one would find you." The senator grinned. "Ops! I forgot
that even though you are alive, no one finds you because no one cares for you so living and dying is no
different for you! Such a poor girl!" The senator had himself avenged Trishia's pissing words earlier.
Trishia just escaped from death.
She wasn't afraid of any threat anymore as she had been to the most hell in her life.
What she didn't like was the truth behind his words.
Her life would never take her life.
"You and I are the same. Don't you think?" Trishia refuted filled with sarcasm. "If I am a poor girl, then
what about you?" She continued with a questioning mocking expression. "You force my mom to stay
with you even though you completely know that she loved another guy. You force yourself on her. You
force her to love you but she never learned to love you! Why? because you don't have the quality. You
are unlovable as simple as that poor old man!" Trishia bombarded him.
The senator's eyes turned sinister.
Obviously, he didn't like Trishia's lengthy harsh words.
"Die!" The senator was so pissed off.
Trishia seemed to reach his limit as she sounded angry along with his finger that was about to pull the
trigger.
"Ahhh!" The next second, the senator screamed painfully then suddenly, he fainted on the ground.
"Trishia? I know it's you!" Holding a golf club which she used to hit Sen. Meyer's head, Alice stepped in
and hugged her daughter.
She was in the basement when she heard the commotion.
She was not mistaken in hearing her daughter's voice.
The senator imprisoned her in the basement but she found her way out just to check on her daughter.
No one could stop a mom from seeing her daughter.
Now, Alice was more than satisfied seeing Trishia alive as she never believed her daughter died from
that accident.
"I know that old man just lied to me!" Trishia cursed Sen. Meyer on the ground.
She was also satisfied knowing that her mom was still alive.
Trishia hugged Alice.
"Let's go, mom!" Trishia said quickly.
Finally, Alice would be free from the Senator.
She would live with her daughter now and make the most of the times they weren't together.
Her only daughter is so important to her and maybe Trishia would change when she would live with
her.
"Let's go," Alice replied lovingly as she held her daughter's hand.
She would now go home with her daughter.
Finally, they would have time for each other.
"Bang!!!" Suddenly, a loud gunshot echoed in the room.
