Chapter 222: Cheater


    “I never thought that crying girl would grow to be so beautiful,” Ericmented with a charming smile.


    Arabe instantly blushed. “Nahhh…stop joking around.” She replied chuckling. “Look who’s talking,


    that boy was now a sessful billionaire. I am proud of you, brother.”


    “Brother?” Eric frowned hearing Arabe.


    Arabe smirked cutely and nodded. “You are my soul’s brother. Just like the brave boy I have known


    before.”


    Eric smiled charmingly as he remembered the cute little girl before now grew up to be a beautiful


    refined woman who got his heart from the first time, heid his eyes on her.


    Now he understood why he could not forget the girl so easily that even after so many long years, he


    still wanted to find and see her.


    “When I first saw you at the charity dinner, you already got my attention. I didn’t know you back then.”


    Eric confessed.


    “Thank you for what you have done for me back there.” She muttered sincerely.

    When Bill tricked her, Eric helped her find the ne and she knew he joined the bidding to save her


    from the pervert old billionaires who wanted to take her out.


    “Don’t mention it. If I have known that you are that girl I’m looking for, you would not suffer such


    humiliation.” Eric’s voice turned stern.


    He seemed displeased remembering that night in the charity.


    If he only found it earlier, he would never allow Bill Sky to bully her.


    “I can’t thank you enough,” Arabe muttered.


    Deep silence invaded the air in a few seconds.


    “What’s your rtionship with Bill Sky? Are the rumors true?” Finally, Eric asked. His expression was


    sincerely worried.


    “Hmmm…” Arabe was stunned by Eric’s question.


    She didn’t know what to answer so she heaved a heavy sigh.


    Then, she started to tell Eric everything.


    For some reason, she felt at ease with him and she felt secure with hispany.


    That night, in the garden, Arabe and Eric had a long catching-up talk until Arabe’s phone rang.


    Bill Sky.


    She instantly felt panic as she strode away from Eric to answer Bill’s call.


    Arabe quickly answered the call or Bill would call Adam.


    That would cause more chaos.


    “Do you miss me?” With a melodious tone, she answered but deep inside she was nervous.


    “How do you know?” Bill on the other line, sounded tired but was still in for some romance.


    “Because… because I miss you.” Arabe used all her wits to allure Bill’s all attention to her.


    After her words, Bill chuckled on the other line. He seemed pleased and satisfied with her.


    “You made me love you even more,” Billmented on the other line sweetly.


    “Where are you?” Arabe asked before Bill could.


    “Well, I’m still here in the office. Still preparing for the revisions of documents for the bidding.” She


    could sense Bill was exhausted.


    The bidding was set the day after tomorrow.


    It was too close already.


    “Don’t work too hard. Have you eaten?” Arabe kept on asking him giving him no time to ask her


    whereabouts for today.


    How could she possibly say that she’s with Eric right now?


    Had eaten the dinner that Eric cooked for her?


    If Bill would know, he would be enraged and sure enough, he would be there like a lightning bolt.


    “Lira arranged for my meal,” Bill reported.


    “Oh, well, I’m relief that you have Lira there,” Arabe answered.


    “Where are you?” Bill suddenly asked.


    Arabe’s hand had be stiff.


    That was the question that she avoided.


    “Hmmm... I picked up Adam and was going to go home now.” Using all her wits left, she answered


    feeling intense nervous.


    She just hoped that Bill would not sense something.


    “Mr. Sky, we added this to the use….”


    Arabe heard another person’s voice on the other line.


    “One second,” Bill answered the person.


    “I have to go now. I’ll be home after I finished here. I love you.” Bill sounded like an ideal loving


    husband to his wife.


    “I love you too.” Arabe was very thankful to that other person. He was a savior.


    When the call ended, she went back to Eric who was still sitting and looking afar.


    “Sorry. Bill called.” She exined lifting her phone.


    Eric smiled and nodded.


    He didn’t say anything and his expression was gloomy.


    “Are you, okay?” Arabe asked worriedly.


    Eric smirked handsomely.


    “I am just thinking…” Eric muttered while his eyes were staring afar. “What if I found you earlier? What


    if I found you before you had met Bill… Would it make a difference?” Eric asked mncholy like he


    was just talking to himself.


    Arabe looked at Eric then her stare traveled afar just like him.


    “Maybe…” Arabe muttered. “I believe anyone we meet in our life is fate. Some would just want to say


    hi and go. Some would stay and some would just enter our lives to teach us a lesson or to make us


    strong. C’est vie!”


    “You’re right, but you know what? Now that I found you, I would be that someone who will stay in your


    life forever and I hope you will do the same.” Eric’s eyes were now with her.


    Arabe met Eric’s eyes.


    She could see all his sincerity.


    “We meet again for a purpose and I also hope that it’s for good.” She answered looking into his eyes.


    From their stares, it seemed their souls were talking.


    After they talked, Arabe and Adam went home.


    As usual, Kelly was there but they were not in a good term.


    She went upstairs leaving Adam with his grandma.


    Bill was still not home. She decided to call Farrah.


    Even though Farrah was far away from Capital Z they never lost contact.


    “Wazzup friend!” Farrah said excitedly.


    “How are you and Gab?” Arabe asked.


    “We are good. Is there any problem?” Farrah asked worriedly.


    Arabe heaved a deep sigh.


    “Whatever happened, take care of your family. Okay?” With a serious tone, Arabe uttered.


    “Bestie… Why do I get this feeling that something bad would happen?” Farrah asked worriedly. “Please


    tell me what’s the problem.” Farrah pleaded.


    At this moment, she hoped that she was just near to Arabe so she could just go and see her and


    know her real situation just like before.


    “Nothing…” Arabe answered. “I love you.” Arabe''s words were sentimental.


    Her words should be music to Farrah’s ears but it was the opposite.


    It gave her a creep.


    “Come on! What’s the problem? I can listen the whole night. Just tell me!” Farrah knew her best friend


    very well and she refused to ept her lies.


    Arabe chuckled on the other line. “What are you talking about? There’s nothing…” She answered.


    Farrah heaved a heavy sigh. “Okay. If you say so…” Hearing Arabe’sugh, Farrah gave up but she


    knew Arabe had something in mind that she couldn''t say.


    She trusted her friend and whatever it is, Farrah was confident that Arabe could conquer and be


    responsible for everything.


    After she called Farrah, she closed her eyes and breathed in silence when someone banged on her


    door.


    Before she stood up, Arabe released a heavy breath then jumped out of the bed to open.


    Kelly stormed inside with a dangerous expression.


    Before Arabe could react, Kelly pped her hard.


    “How dare you cheated on my son?” Kelly’s eyes were full of hatred.


    Arabe felt the sting on her cheek.


    She was not prepared for Kelly’s sudden attack.


    She moved her jaw and touched her painful cheek for a while feeling the ache then Arabeughed.


    Hearing Arabe’sugh, Kelly got more irritated.


    She lifted her arm to p Arabe again but she caught her wrist again.


    “Ops!!! You don’t have to right to hurt me. Once is enough!” Arabe said firmly like she was lecturing


    Kelly.


    “Are you denying that you have many men?” Kelly’s eyeballs bulged in anger as she tried to free her


    wrist from Arabe’s grip. “Let go!” She roared.


    Hearing Kelly, she let go of her arm harshly.


    “From the start, I know what you want from my son. And I know what kind of girl you are! You use your


    beauty to allure men! You can’t live without them.!You can’t live with even one man. You are more than


    a prostitute Arabe!” Kelly’s eyes were killers.


    If only her stare could kill, Arabe would be definitely dead by now. “I know how you think. Because


    my son is so busy, you started to flirt with that Eric Grant using your son. Do you think I am stupid? I


    have my men following you everywhere! Even Adam had confirmed it!”


    No wonder, Kelly was still awake at this time and she was obviously waiting for them.


    If she was not mistaken Kelly interrogated Adam earlier while she was already in Bill’s room.


    “Do you really think you can mess up with my family?” Kelly met Arabe’s eyes. “You are wrong! Very


    wrong! You don’t know what this family can do to you!” Kelly’s smile carried great threats.


    “Rest assured, Bill, your husband will know this!” Suddenly, Kelly roughly threw pictures on Arabe’s


    face then they spread on the floor.


    Arabe looked at the scattered pictures on the floor.


    She saw her with Damien from different angles in the restaurant. There were also pictures of her and


    Eric in the garden.


    Arabe heaved a heavy breath and met Kelly’s eyes.


    Then, Arabe smiled.


    “Bravo!”


    “Bravo!”


    “Bravo!”


    Arabe pped her hands while her smile never left her face.


    Kelly was taken aback.


    She had thought with the evidence she had, Arabe would panic.


    Kelly expected Arabe to beg her then be opened for her settlement but she was wrong.


    The girl was worse than she thought.


    “You really think you can scare me of these pictures?” Arabe chuckled menacingly. “Trust me, aunt


    Kelly, I really tried to be nicer to you but you always pushed me to my limits.” Arabe walked in a


    circle.


    “By the way, you should fire your men because their shots were iplete,” Arabe added with a


    provoking tone.


    Kelly was stunned. She breathed anger while she was rooted on her spot. Her eyes were cursing


    Arabe.


    “Oh, how pity they didn’t see me with Jayson Hansen. I’m sure you know him. Should I tell you? I went


    to his house too before I went to Eric’s house.” Arabeughed. “Come to think of it… Bill...” Arabe


    was counting on her finger.” … Jayson …. Eric… Wow! Maybe you want to congratte me for hooking


    up with these three billionaires?” Arabe stopped walking in front of her and met Kelly’s hateful eyes.


    “Now tell me, aunt Kelly, Are you proud of me?” Arabe smiled proudly.


    “You! You! You are really a slut!” Kelly stormed to p her again but Arabe had caught her wrist


    again.


    “You can’t hurt me again!” Arabe pushed Kelly’s hand with all force. Kelly was taken aback.


    Arabe was stronger than her and she didn’t expect her to fight back.


    Driven with anger and vengeance, Kelly picked the porcin vase and threw it to Arabe.


    The vase created a resounding cracking sound and the vase shattered on the ground.


    “What happened here?” Suddenly, Bill’s voice sounded. “Mom, what have you done?” Bill rushed to


    Arabe on the floor. Blood was dripping on her leg.


    “Honey, You’re here. It’s nothing.” Arabe sounded low. Her expression was dispirited.


    “Mom, please exin this,” Bill demanded to Kelly who was in a panic.


    “She deserved that! You know what your wife was doing behind your back?” Kelly was no stopping.


    She was determined to reveal Arabe’s cheating.


    “That woman is a cheater! Bill your wife is not contented with one man. She was dating other men


    when you are not around.” Kelly pointed the girl on the floor.


    After Kelly, Arabe struggled to stand up but she was shoved back to the ground with her blood


    dripping.


    Bill quickly got the first aid and put a bandage on her wound.


    “My son, listen to me. That woman is not deserving with your love. She was just toying with you! Listen


    to me son.” Kelly went to snatch the box of the first aid.


    “Honey, I think your mom doesn’t like me at all. I had tried my best to be a good daughter-inw.”


    Arabe muttered while her head was low. She looked so pity sitting on the ground. “I don’t think I can


    stay here with your mom anymore.” She added with a very disheartened tone.


    “Honey. I will fix this. Okay? Trust me.” Bill tapped her shoulder.


    “No, Bill. I love you but I can’t live with your mom.” Arabe dered firmly shaking her head.


    “And I don’t want to see your thick face too!” Kelly roared.


    “You heard that, Hon. Your mom just hurt me with the face. I want you to choose now!” Arabe


    demanded firmly while she met Bill’s deep eyes.


    “How dare you!” Kelly roared angrily. "You think my son would choose you over me, his own mother?"


    “Mom! Stop!” Bill shouted dangerously.


    Kelly was taken aback. Her son was shouting at her because of Arabe.


    Losing her control, Kelly strode toward Bill and gave him a heavy p. “Look how that woman had


    influenced you!” Kelly angrily shouted at his face.


    Bill stood still. He looked at her mom with disdain.


    “If you can’t ept my wife. Please leave.” Bill said putting emphasis on his every word.


    Disheartened and insulted by her son’s choice, Kelly looked at Arabe full of hatred.


    Arabe met her eyes with a smile.
