Chapter 157 : Out Of League


    After Bill dropped the bomb, the crowd was shocked and panicked as they werepeting to get a


    clearer view of Arabe. Likewise, Arabe was surprised by Bill’s sudden revtion.


    How could this man just spill everything in front of the media?


    She stayed frozen in her seat as Bill’s men were forming a barricade to protect her.


    “Mr. Sky, Why the mother of your child is here? Does it mean she had a part of your wedding?” A


    woman shouted over the loud mor.


    “Yes,” Bill answered directly. All cameras switched to him. Everyone was dying to know, what’s


    Arabe’s role.


    Trishia’s face was flushed. She was shaking in anger and she couldn’t get a hold of her cool anymore.


    Though she was used to acting in front of a camera, the embarrassment she felt made her lose all her


    fake acting bit by bit. She was not expecting that the conference would center the topic on Arabe and


    Bill and she was left rooted on her spot. She’s a superstar and she was supposed to be the main


    attraction of the event. All eyes, ears, and cameras were supposed to be hers.


    “She’s our pianist at the wedding,” Bill announced.


    “Mr. Sky, we all know that you can hire the most famous pianist in the world, why she? Did you choose


    her?” Another man shouted over the loud mor.


    “Yes. I choose her.” Bill looked at Arabe. She was seating like no care around her. Her expression


    was cold but confident. Her beauty was captivating but strict. Unlike Trishia, who always wore a sweet


    smile, Arabe had no glow in her eyes. She seemed always wanted to chase the time and got bored


    sitting on doing nothing. She seemed to hate the whole world by wearing a boring tough and


    intimidating aura.


    “Why her? Do you still have a close connection with her, Mr. Sky?” A man shouted over the loud crowd.


    “Yes,” Bill said with a in expression.


    Everyone was very interested in the real score of him and the mother of his son.


    Earlier,


    “How much money do you want?” Kelly talked to Arabe privately. With full of sarcasm in her voice, it


    was obvious that she didn’t want to talk to Arabe but she was desperate to make her disappear in


    her free own will from her son’s life.


    “Name your price.” She added while getting her checkbook and pen from her bag.


    “I don’t need your money.” Arabe refuted quickly. She already knew what would be the flow of their


    conversation. “You know what I want Mrs. Sky, Adam.” After analyzing the situation, she knew what


    Kelly wanted and that was for her to leave Bill.


    “Don’t you hear yourself? Adam is the only son of Bill. He is the only heir of Sky Corporation.” Kelly’s


    voice was full of sarcasm and her expression was arrogance. She was very different from the Aunt


    Kelly she once knew that was full ofpassion towards her and others.

    “I only need Adam, Aun… Mrs. Sky.” Arabe insisted while avoiding calling Kelly her aunt.


    “You should see by now that Adam has a big future with us. He would own the biggest conglomerate in


    the whole world. Then tell me if he would stay with you, what can you give for his future?” Kelly’s words


    were intended for insults but she had a good point.


    Arabe was stunned by Kelly’s question. It was a sudden attack on her capabilities of raising his son


    and giving him a good future.


    “I can give him love and teach himpassion,” Arabe answereding from a mother’s pure


    heart.


    “That is a good joke,” Kellyughed softly like she heard ame joke. “Adam is born a leader like her


    father. If you are a good mother, you should put first Adam’s welfare.” Kelly firmly said.


    Arabe was stunned and was caught in deep thinking. Kelly said was all right. Adam was indeed had


    all the right to inherit all Bill’s hard work. He had a very big future with the Sky.


    “Go away, take this nk check, and nevere back. Don’t worry, Trishia would be a good mother to


    your son. I will see to it as his grandma.” Kelly used the opportunity to convince more seeing Arabe


    was still in her deep thinking.


    But hearing Trishia’s name, Arabe looked at Kelly fiercely.


    “No. I don’t need that check. I am not selling my son to you. Give Adam back to me and I will leave


    your son. That’s the only condition I have.” Arabe said toughly.


    “Look, you don’t make the deal here.” Kelly’s voice was pissed.


    “Sorry Mrs. Sky, give back Adam or I will not leave your son. I will make him fall in love with me.”


    Arabe announced toughly.


    Her words made Kelly enraged. “You are such a disrespectful child!” She roared.


    Arabe wasn’t affected by her anger. “The aunt Kelly I treasured as my own mother was also gone.


    Please excuse me, Mrs. Sky.” Replying to these words made her heart in pain. She knew her aunt


    Kelly had still a special ce in her heart but as of the moment, she needed to be smart and tough to


    get Adam back.


    After she excused herself, she went outside to wait for them for the conference and left Kelly froze in


    her spot.


    In a corner, Trishia heard everything.


    She couldn’t withstand her anger hearing Arabe’s words. Inside Bill’s house, she witnessed


    everything. What she said was all possible. For so many years she had known Bill, Arabe was the


    one who had close contact with him. He let her be close to him. He let her sleep in his room and his


    bed not only a night but every night. Thinking of how many nights she cried in her room because of


    them sharing a bed together in Bill’s room, Trishia gritted her teeth as she walked out to find Arabe.


    “I can give back Adam to you,” Trishia announced.


    Arabe turned behind her. She didn’t say anything but her expression was waiting for her to say


    something more.


    “Just promise me and your son will vanish in our life,” Trishia added with irritation.


    “How would you do that?” Arabe’s expression was full of interest.


    “I can do that because I don’t want you and your son in our life. You and your son are distractions in


    our life. Without you and your son, I can have all of Bill.” Trishia announced coldly.


    Arabe keenly listened to her.


    “At the wedding, my men can help you escape with Adam,” Trishia said in a displeasing tone.


    “Deal.” Arabe’s eyes glowed. She saw some hope in Trishia’s proposal. “Don’t worry Trishia, Bill is


    out of my league. He’s all yours. Give me back Adam and I will leave without any trace.” Arabe said


    with a reassuring tone. She wasn’t sure about trusting Trishia at the moment but she had no choice.


    Her proposal was perfect timing. She could only hold unto it as she had no power to fight against the


    Sky. She also knew what Trishia was up to. Of all people, she had no intention to raise Adam as her


    own. Who wanted to raise a child of your husband from another mother? She never believed Trishia


    when she told everyone that she had no issue with Adam and she would raise him as her own.


    “Mr. Sky, this is a very personal question.” A woman in her 50’s asked amidst the loud mor. Bill


    looked at her and raised his hand to give her the floor. “You were seen in the public with the mother of


    your son doing some intimacy. We are confused about the real score of you and the mother of your son


    and Ms. Meyer. Can you please tell us who was really in your heart right now?” It was a bold question


    that made the mor stop in an instant. It seemed everyone was very eager to know it. All ears were


    all at Bill.


    Bill''s look didn’t change. For a while, he didn’t answer. Arabe folded her arms in front. She was also


    eager to know his answer. Trishia had shivered more. She knew Bill would never lie and she was fully


    aware that if not for Adam, Bill would not agree to the wedding.


    Trishia quickly held Bill’s hand with her two hands. She had to do something before it was toote. She


    could not afford another embarrassment in the media. Her reputation and name would be instantly


    ruined. Who would ept a loser like her for any projects if Bill Sky would deny her?


    Bill’s eyes looked at the girl with very cold hands. His eyes were serious and Trishia’s were pleading at


    him.


    “I will marry Trishia Meyer.” Bill didn’t answer the question directly but his words were merely an


    emphasis that he will marry the one who’s in his heart. The crowd began to get louder again.


    Trishia wanted to jump for joy as she felt like winning the lottery. She was so relieved by his answer


    while Arabe had no expression. She was expecting him to say it but she could still feel a pinch in her


    heart.


    ‘Love? Love my foot!’ Arabe was cursing him in her mind and heart.


    After the conference, Trishia glued herself to Bill’s arm while they were walking inside the hotel.


    “Bill, I had reserved a restaurant here. Let’s eat first before going home.” Trishia sweetly uttered to him.


    “I have to go back to the office.” Bill stopped and took Trishia’s hands off. “Call your driver to take you


    home.” He added.


    “But Bill..” Trishia didn’t want to give up but seeing Bill’s not open for negotiations expression, she kept


    quiet.


    “You,e with me.” Bill turned around to order Arabe.


    Arabe who was behind them and just hearing their conversation looked up to him and smile. “Right


    away sir.” She answered seductively. This was for Trishia to be in her best effort to help her with Adam.


    She was showing Trishia what she was capable of doing. She knew Trishia would be very enraged and


    would do anything to help her get back Adam quickly. Maybe by tomorrow, Adam would suddenly


    appear because of Trishia.


    Smiling past Trishia, Arabe secretly winked at the girl whose pretty face crumpled in fury.


    Inside the car, the silence was filled in the air. Bill with folded arms and crossed legs leaned on the


    backrest. He closed his eyes. He seemed to be tired. Seeing him, Arabe did what he was doing. She


    also leaned back and closed her eyes.


    She then nned her next move with Trishia’s offer. The wedding was very near and she was very


    excited to see her son. She could not wait to hug and kiss him again. The memory that they tickled


    each other on the bed every morning suddenly shed across her mind. She smiled but tears started


    dripping in the corners of her eyes.


    When the driver stopped, that’s the only time Arabe opened her eyes. She was surprised to see that


    they stopped in another hotel and not his office.


    Bill didn’t say anything as he walked out. She followed without asking any questions. Bill strode inside


    and directly went to a restaurant. Arabe walked behind him.


    Then Bill sat on a couch. “Sit.” He ordered.


    Arabe sat in front of him. The waiter handed him the menu and he ordered.


    ‘This man refused his fiancée to eat with her.’


    ‘Despicable!’


    ‘Womanizer!’


    Feeling disgusted, she didn’t argue and chose to keep quiet.


    Bill didn''t say anything like he had nopany. She seemed didn’t exist in the restaurant as he worked


    on his mini tab with his digital pen.


    After they ate without talking, Bill strode out of the restaurant and behind was Arabe.


    When they reached the lobby area,


    “I know it was you!” A man suddenly sounded. Arabe stopped and turned in the direction of the voice.


    “Arabe!” The man called out her name.


    After seeing a very familiar face, Arabe smiled. “Jayson?”
