It was getting dark.

Earlier, Trishia borrowed her family’s chef to cook a sumptuous dinner in Bill’s house. She wanted to surprise Bill with food on the table as she aimed to show Bill that she had the most outstanding capabilities of a wife.

Walking in circles in the living room, Trishia was perplexed as she was always checking the time on her wristwatch and the big wall clock.

‘Where are they?’

‘What took them so long?’

‘That bitch!’

'Grrrr...'

Trishia was bursting with immense anger.

She was very annoyed thinking of Arabella and Bill were together outside for the whole day.

‘Trishia, calm down, don’t get stressed. Your wedding was about to come. Inhale, Exhale. Don't get ugly.’

‘Remember, you have to be the most beautiful bride on that day.’

‘Everyone would look at you with jealousy.’

Trishia smiled trying to calm herself as she saw herself walking gracefully on the red carpet while wearing her most expensive white bridal gown. The crowd dropped their jaws upon seeing her magnificent beauty.

The clicking of cameras from the media men who were competing on capturing all the perfect scenes in her wedding was loudly heard in the venue while she kept on waving and wearing her happiest smile.

Bill was handsomely standing beside her smiling proudly at everyone for making her his wife. He kissed her sweetly in front of everyone.

Trishia’s train of thoughts was interrupted when her phone rang.

Winston Ford.

She frowned.

“Yes.” She answered lazily as she was annoyed that her sweet thoughts were cut by his call.

“Baby,” Winston greeted her.

“What happened to me calling you only?” Trishia asked with annoyance. In their relationship, Trishia was always the boss. The caller.

“I just miss you. Why didn’t you call me anymore?” Winston replied with a very bored tone.

“You know Winston, I don’t like to explain and you don’t need to know.” Trishia sounded annoyed. He was not her boyfriend. Why bother to explain?

“I heard you are going to get married.” Winston’s voice became gloomy.

“Uhuh,” Trishia muttered. “Yes, you are right.” She added proudly.

“What about us?” Winston asked with a deep voice.

“What about us?” Trishia frowned as she bounced the question back like she was talking to the dumbest person in the world. “There’s nothing about us.” She then announced with clarity and arrogance.

Winston didn’t reply for a while.

“Wait a minute! Why are you suddenly acting like a jealous boyfriend?” Trishia asked with furrowed eyebrows.

“Hahaha.” Winston chucked. “It’s nothing. I am just missing your body, Baby.” He was back to his normal vigor who was always on the go to anything.

“That’s good! Not now Winston. I am busy with my wedding. I call you when I need you.” Trishia answered then hung up the call without waiting for his reply.

The time was perfect as after he ended the call, someone had rung up the doorbell. Trishia fixed herself and excitedly strode to open the door but to her dismay, it was not Bill who she was expecting to come back by this time.

“What’s that?” Trishia asked pointing to a very huge white box with a pink ribbon wrapped on it. Her eyes widened in excitement realizing that it was Bill’s gift for her for their wedding.

“Mr. Sky ordered to deliver this box to his house.” The man with a black suit answered directly.

“Okay. Please come in.” She quickly opened the door wide. ‘I’m right! He was just showing me that he didn’t like me but deep inside he was trying his best to resist my beauty and wetness. Soon you will taste me, my husband.’ Trishia bit her lower lip while thinking about their wild love-making on the bed after their wedding.

How she wanted to be with Bill on the bed. Just a few days left and Bill would be hers.

After the huge gift box settled in the living room, the men swiftly went out.

Trishia’s smile could not hide while she was so curious about what’s inside the box. Bill was a billionaire so he would never give her a cheap item. That inside must be very expensive and the thought of it made her think of overflowing money. She saw herself lying on a bed of paper dollar bills.

Her curiosity stopped when two people suddenly strode inside the room. Seeing the first person, Trishia’s cheerful smile widened up to her ears.

“Oh, my Bill, thank you so much for this gift.” Trishia gracefully strode towards him wearing her prettiest smile and glue her arm to his.

Bill didn’t reply.

“I knew it! You love me. You just don’t know how to show it all the time.” She added proudly and she giggled beside him.

Arabella, who was behind them smirked as the scene in the cinema flashed across her mind.

“I miss your lips.” He uttered lustfully while devouring her lips roughly.

She put all her strength to push him away but he was so strong and he didn’t let her go.

“Ouch!” After a while, Bill cried out in pain. Arabella bit his lower lip and blood dripped out quickly.

She tasted his blood and it was a happy pill for her that she succeeded in bringing him pain even just a little.

Bill looked at her. He was not angry but his eyes were serious like studying her. Arabella felt scared by his stare so she averted her look to the screen then she decided again to wait for him outside the cinema but when she was about to stand, Bill, grabbed her wrist and pulled her. She directly shoved into his lap.

“You!” She avoided saying something to him but this time she was pissed off. She struggled and pushed his chest but Bill was unmoved.

“Let me go!” She ordered without caring what he could do to him when he got angry with her.

“Why are you so stubborn?” Bill held her two delicate hands by his one hand and the other hand was hugging her waist to hold her position on his lap while he rested her forehead to hers.

Arabella didn’t reply as she knew he was a nonsense talker. It was just a waste of time answering and debating him as he always won and she was always left with no option.

What’s new!

She rolled her eyes.

“Did you just roll your eyes on me?” Bill frowned but his handsome look didn’t lessen a bit.

She smirked and didn’t answer him.

“My lip is hurting,” Bill muttered closed to her. He was like seeking pity from her.

She heard him and it gave her satisfaction. ‘Bravo!’ She didn’t know monsters could be hurt. As far as she knew, they only live to hurt and scare people. She breathed a deep sigh showing him that she was not interested in his words and he gave her intense boredom.

“Why are you so cold?” He asked again but it was more of a mutter as he kissed her forehead.

She still kept her silence.

The movie was paused and the air filled with tension inside the darkroom.

“Come on, you bit my lip. Should I not deserve some talking here?” His voice wasn’t angry but pacifying different from the monster she knew.

After a quick minute, “Do not kiss me again.” Arabella firmly said.

Bill looked at her seriously.

“I just can’t help it.” He answered with eyes full of desire on her. “I’m sorry.” He added that made Arabella’s heart skip a beat.

He said sorry to her.

‘Bravo!’

‘What happened to this man?’

‘Did that steak he eat have a magic?’

Shocked and in disbelief, Arabella shook her head to recover her senses.

‘No. Arabella. That man was always scheming. Don’t believe in that monster! He is a monster and he will never change!’ She kept reminding herself not to be amazed by his sudden fake changes.

“I miss you.” Seeing her unmoved and silent, Bill uttered sweetly hugging her tighter.

At this moment, Arabella looked at him with a fierce eye. After a while, her eyes became soft.

“What do you want?” She asked directly. Her question carried two answers but either of the two, she wanted to hear it to successfully execute her naughty plan.

“I want you,” Bill answered quickly and his eyes were full of desires for her.

Without asking more, she knew exactly what he wanted. Her body.

“Hmmm..” Arabella hummed. “Then what can I get if I give it to you?” She asked fixing her eyes to him.

Bill smiled when he heard her negotiating. It was always his favorite part.

“Me?” Bill answered. “All of me.” He added firmly then hugged more.

Silence invaded for a moment.

“I don’t want you. I want only Adam back.” She said desperately but deep inside she was nervous about her plan.

Bill didn’t reply for a while. He seemed stunned and caught in deep thinking. When he said he would give her his all, she would be the luckiest girl in the world but why is she not jumping? He never met such a kind of girl who dared to refuse him.

“So, are you willing to give me what I want?” He asked to confirm.

“Yes, in exchange for my son.” She quickly answered. Her plan was disgusting, she knew! But she could not just wait for Kelly to pity her. Who wanted to stay in a house with the monsters? Now that she found a new hope by using Bill against his mom, she would hold on to it. Besides, they were still legally married and they had made it so many times before.

For her to succeed on her plan of getting Adam back, she had to play with his game. Assisting her enemy and knowing them well would help her to successfully defeat him. She could not feel guilt about her plan as Bill was the one who taught her or she learned it from him. ‘He always uses this play on her then why not strike back using his style?’

At this time, Bill was the silent one. He seemed to do a lot of thinking about her proposal.

“I thought, you want me. So?” She pushed her luck and struck while the iron is hot.

Bill looked at her seriously then he smiled.

“Nice try but I am not convinced.” His smile turned wicked as he pushed her away from him then he strode out of the cinema.

Arabella was left frowning. What did she do wrong? Why she had not convinced him? Is her drama a bit lousy and obvious? That was her chance. Her only chance to get Adam. Why she was already busted?

Earlier, she swore to see his eyes with sincerity and desire while uttering sweet words to her ears. She could also feel his temperature was heightened while he touched her skin. Assessing the situation from the time they entered the mall, he seemed to date her and now in the cinema, he was uttering sweet words to her. She had no time on asking him too many questions as she could use the situation to get him into her trap.

‘No! Arabella, stay focused. Those eyes earlier were all for you. He could not resist you. Try hard and she would fall into your trap.’ She was desperate to use her body as she was so tired of playing Cinderella in a house full of monsters.

Arabella was back to her vigor as her plan was to seduce the billionaire.

‘Presenting the modern Cinderella!’ She smiled and gracefully followed him behind with head high.

Bill entered the car directly and she followed him in the back seat.

Then, she deliberately pulled his seatbelt and buckled it for him. Her soft body was pressing him.

“Your majesty.” She uttered after buckling his seatbelt.

Bill looked at her then he closed his eyes.

“Hmmm.. Are you afraid that you might lose your control? That’s right! Just close your eyes because I am not going to give up until you give me what I want.” Arabella sexily uttered near his ears. She didn’t care about the driver inside. Her mind was focused on her desperate plan.

"Bill, thank you very much for the gift." Seeing Bill didn't answer, she said it back again.

"You!" Bill turned around to speak with Arabella.

Arabella looked at him with a question mark.

"That gift is yours," Bill announced making Trishia instantly flush in embarrassment.

Arabella seductively smiled at him not letting go of her plan as she strode towards the gift. She was also happy to see Trishia's embarrassed expression. 'You deserve it bitch!' Arabella cursed her in her mind.

When Arabella was standing beside the gift, Bill strode closer to her then he said,

"Don't embarrass me at my wedding and play that nicely."

Then he smirked at Arabella and strode past her.
