Chapter 198 : Wife''s Role


    Earlier,


    “Mom, Bill is always with that woman. You have to help me, please.” Trishia lost her nerve when she


    saw Bill and Arabe go out in the morning. She stayed in his house for nothing as she could not even


    enter Bill’s room.


    “What do you n to do?” Kelly was drinking her coffee in the gazebo when Trishia strode in frantically.


    “I want to be with Bill all the time, mom,” Trishia answered. “Let me have a position in the Corporation.”


    Trishia was already desperate. She would do anything to get Bill and she would not allow Arabe to


    ruin her n.


    Kelly studied Trishia. She was unwell for the past few days and tried her best to get up today. Kelly


    could not deny that the death of Jaime troubled her. She was her best friend before until her daughter


    shamed their family and killed her husband. It seemed the hatred she felt was already engraved in her


    heart.


    “I can help you with that.” Kelly had clear eyes for Trishia. “But what about your own career?”


    “I don’t care about my career, mom. I just wanted to know what’s that woman doing behind our back.


    What if she is already seducing Bill? I know that kind of woman is a poisonous snake. She would not


    stop grasping until she would reach the top where she could spread her venom.” Trishia was very


    agitated and exhausted. She could not be left behind. Her main purpose in staying there was to make


    Bill realize that she was his best match. She wanted Bill to love her or even get to like her and


    everything would follow smoothly.


    After hearing Trishia’s answer, Kelly took her mobile phone from the table and made a call to someone.


    “Done,” Kelly announced. “You are going to be the assistant of the Vice President. Would that be okay


    with you?” She added.


    “Assistant?” A self-deprecating smile showed on Trishia’s face. “What about the Vice President’s


    position, mom?” Trishia pushed her luck. How could she work for another person? She should be the


    boss, not just an assistant.


    “My darling, you can’t have that position until you can be Bill’s wife,” Kelly exined in a gentle but


    firmed manner.


    Trishia was annoyed inside but gathered herposure or else she’s sure she would shout at Kelly.


    ‘Witch! Witch! Witch!’ Trishia cursed Kelly repetitively in her thoughts.


    “Is there a problem?” Trishia asked.


    “Mom, what about Bill’s assistant?” Trishia refused to work for the VP.


    “Arabe… Bill appointed her as his assistant and we can’t interfere with his decision. You know that.”


    Kelly answered as she knew once Bill made a decision, it''s already final.


    “Does it mean that Arabe can im the position of VP as she was married to Bill?” With her own


    question, Trishia made herself petrified.


    Kelly looked at her like she was answering yes even without speaking it.


    “It’s the old Sky’sst will, darling. Whoever married Bill would instantly be a major stockholder in the


    and that share is the biggest. Well, maybe he wanted to secure the future of Bill’s wife as he knew how


    stubborn Bill is, or maybe since they were very close, the Old Sky wanted to show his utmost gratitude


    for marrying his only stubborn grandson.” Kelly exined and sipped coffee from her mug. “Who would


    have thought that Bill would marry the wrong girl?” Kelly added with a trace of exhaustion and dismay


    in her voice.


    “Mom, how’s that possible?” Trishia felt her spirit just abandon her body. A bucket of cold water


    seemed to pour into her body as she couldn''t believe what she heard. “How… how about Bill, mom?


    Did he know about the will?” Trishia''s tone was dispirited like she was to copse anytime soon.


    “Yes. He did know about it. As a matter of fact, he has the will. My dear husband gave it to him during


    his debut.” Kelly answered. “Are you okay, darling?” Then she asked worriedly to Trishia who seemed


    to forget her breathing.


    “I’m at a loss, mom. What if that woman would im her throne in thepany and the old Sky''s


    shares?” The news made Trishia’s knees soften. She thought being married to Bill Sky was already a


    big catch but there’s more than that.


    The biggest share and thepany!


    Sky Corporation is the leadingpany in the whole world. It’s the biggestpany in Capital Z and


    abroad. Their shareholders were mostly big businessmen foreigners. One could not imagine how big is


    big when you have a share of thepany how much more if you owned the biggest share?


    It’s a jaw-dropping fact indeed.


    Her father, Sen. Meyer would surely love the news.


    If Arabe could have the share, she would livefortably like a queen. Her money could buy a


    whole country.


    What’s more?


    She could dump Bill all she wants.


    “Cheer up, Darling! I don’t think Bill would allow that. If he really wanted to give it, then he had already


    done it a long time ago but instead, he made her his assistant. Just an assistant. Remember that!”


    Kelly smirked while her eyes rolled in annoyance. Obviously, she didn''t want Trishia to give up on


    pursuing her son.


    Trishia smiled like she saw a silver lining. Kelly was right. Knowing Bill, he would have done it from the


    start but he didn’t.


    Does it mean that Bill was really not into her? If he likes Arabe then he would give what’s in his


    grandfather’s will.


    ‘He was definitely toying her!’ Trishia concluded with a wicked smile.


    ‘That share is mine!’ Whatever would happen, she would do anything to get the title of Arabe.


    ‘That position is mine!’ She could already imagine Sen, Meyer’s proud face for her while non-stop


    boasting to his friends about her.


    “Trishia, this is a big secret in this family. Only Bill and I know about this and now you. Keep it a secret,


    will you? Or Bill would hate me. He will hate us. I know he had a n. And now that you know about it,


    it’s up to you to act fast if you want to be his wife. I am putting all hope on you. I don’t want that woman


    taking advantage of my son. So, you have to get my son’s heart and he will divorce that woman.


    Okay?” Kelly expressed.


    “I will mom…I will not disappoint you. I promise. And don''t worry, the family secret is safe with me.”


    Trishia swore while vicious ns were already crazily running in her head. Of course, she would not tell


    any single soul about the secret. If the secrete out, Arabe would be the richest girl in the world.


    That would never happen!


    At Spiral Restaurant.


    Eric Grant suddenly appeared in front wearing his business suit. He looked amazingly handsome that


    everyone around couldn''t help to turn their heads in their table''s direction not to mention Bill''s


    appearance too. Arabe could say all the women there envied her judging from their gazes. With


    Eric''s formal suite, one could easily tell, that he had a meeting in the ce too.


    Just coincidence perhaps but Bill was not in a good mood to see him.


    Arabe was stunned by Eric''s presence. All she thought was they would never see each other again


    after the incident happened at the lobby in the hotel that night. She smiled at him because she


    remembered his job offer and words of wisdom that night.


    “I can’t say the same to you, Mr. Grant,” Bill sliced his steak without giving Eric a single nce.


    Eric smiled widely even with Bill’s displeasing words.


    “I understand, Mr. Sky. Honestly, I just came to say Hi to Arabe.” Eric’s eyes glued on her. He wasn’t


    disturbed with Bill. The night is perfect, that was the expression Eric''s wearing.


    Arabe felt awkward by Eric’s stare and Bill’s bad mood.


    She could feel the intense tension between the two.


    Then suddenly the air filled with suspense.


    “Do you mean my wife?” Bill arrogantly said. He put down his fork and knife on the side as he was


    correcting Eric’s word. Then he looked at Eric with the more arrogant vibe. He was provoking him but


    Eric just smiled at him.


    “Wife? Hmmm…” Eric nodded. He smirked like it was the funniest word he heard from Bill’s mouth.


    “But we are friends. Right, Ms. Jones?” Eric added with her surname, not with Bill''s. Obviously, Eric


    was also provoking Bill.


    His expression was waiting for a positive reply from Arabe.


    Arabe felt the awkwardness. She could imagine Bill’s furious face when she would agree to Eric but


    she could not let Eric lose face. Arabe looked at Bill. His eyes were threatening her. Then she looked


    at Eric. She could not find her words. It seemed they ran away frightened of what Bill could do to her if


    she chose to be on Eric’s side.


    Even though, she smiled even her lips shivered.


    Eric was waiting for her answer.


    “Yes, of course.” She nodded.


    Why not?


    Eric was a true gentleman, unlike the man who was iming her as his wife. After answering Eric, she


    lowered her head and avoided Bill’s scorching gaze.


    ‘You heard that Mr. Sky, I hope I could talk and see you again Arabe.” Eric stated.


    She didn’t know why but for some inexplicable reason, she felt Eric’s sincerity.


    At first, she doubted that the two men were really not in a good term as maybe they were great


    both bachelors before until Bill married her but she thought it didn''t count because their marriage was


    fake. It had run in her mind also that the two were angry with each other because of one girl before.


    Maybe they courted one girl and only one won her heart and the other one was dumped. She never


    asked but she could always feel intense tension in their every encounter.


    “I lost my appetite. Let’s go.” Bill suddenly stood up and snatched Arabe’s hand. “If you may, my wife


    and I have some more important things to do tonight. That thing that husband and wife would normally


    do before they sleep.” Bill smirked at Eric like he already won the fight. Arabe shook her head from


    embarrassment. Bill was using dirty tactics by putting nasty words into Eric’s head.


    Eric smirked and his eyes became gloomy while he gave them the way.


    Arabe was dragged by Bill but she managed to bow at Eric before she followed Bill. Her cheeks were


    blushed by Bill''s words.


    Eric looked at their back disheartened a bit but he suddenly smiled and strode out with his two


    assistants.


    Inside the car, Bill closed his eyes and rested his head. Arabe was sitting beside him at the back.


    She observed him. He was so fine when he rested.


    An angel without his stubbornness.


    A prince charming without his arrogance.


    She couldn’t help to appreciate his physical look. Her eyes wanted to look at him in that position


    forever. She silently prayed that he would not open his eyes so soon.


    “Do you like that Eric Grant?” Bill suddenly flipped his head to her side. He opened his eyes and caught


    her staring at him.


    Arabe instantly blushed. She felt embarrassed but managed to cover it.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    “It’s a personal matter, Mr. Sky. I believe I have the right not to answer.” Arabe’s tone was calm as


    she smiled stiffly just to cover her embarrassment.


    “We are already out in the office. Don’t you a think a wife should share everything with her husband?”


    Bill sounded with a frown. She hated whenever he frowned, he was still very handsome.


    Bill’s words made her freeze. She was like struck by a lightning in her spot. The day ended and that


    meant her assistant role had ended too for the day. The start of the night was the start of her role as his


    wife. She was preupied with the assistant role that she forgot to n for tonight.


    Then Bill''s words to Eric earlier shed across her mind.


    She shivered.


    The wife’s role.


    ‘Oh, Gosh! Arabe. Alibi… you need to have alibi…’


    ‘No. What about your n?’


    ‘Gosh! What about my n?’ Arabe was battling with her instinct.


    ‘Stop ying innocent! Do you want to gain a man’s trust? Then you know the answer. Give him what


    he wanted. Give him yourself willingly.’ Her inner instinct answered.


    ‘No! I can’t do that.’ She refused. She could feel her nerves get tensed up.


    ‘Then say goodbye to your n. Are you going to remain a loser?’ Her instinct refused to lose the


    battle.


    ‘No. I can’t lose this time.’ She answered firmly. She was determined on her n. Someday, Bill would


    fall on his knees in front of her.


    ‘What are you going to do then?’ Her instinct seemed to mock her.


    ‘Hemp!’ She couldn’t help but get annoyed with her thoughts.


    “So, are you ready tonight?” Bill was smiling yfully beside her. He saw Arabe was absent-minded.


    One could easily say that she was up for something in her mind. Bill already knew about it.


    Arabe had gained her senses. " For what?" She asked ying the naivest girl in the world.


    Bill folded his arms in front as his long legs were already crossed. Then his eyes traveled deep into her


    like he likes to take away her soul.


    "I just want you to know that I''m not nning to hold myself tonight." He said with a deep serious but


    teasing tone.


    Arabe shivered more. She knew exactly what he meant.


    She heaved a deep sigh. She knew she was in deep trouble.


    Then she smiled the sweetest.


    "I just want you to know that whatever would happen tonight, I will let you."
