Chapter 272: Handsome King On His Throne


    “Arabe… Where are you, Arabe… Please answer. Please answer the phone.” Eric was in the


    middle of an important meeting with his subordinates but he had to dismiss it quickly after reading


    Arabe’s message.


    He tried to call her so many times but there was no answer.


    She didn’t pick up his call.


    He was already pissed as his nervousness was slowly killing him inside.


    “Arabe… why are you so stubborn?” Eric sat on his swivel chair in his office but quickly got up


    walked and sat again.


    He could not gain his calm with Arabe’s message.


    He knew there was something in her message.


    He felt he could not see her again.


    Then Eric quickly called his secretary.


    “Arrange a flight back to Capital Z today.” He ordered with no spirit in his tone.


    His mind was preupied with Arabe.


    He was very worried about her.


    Just when the door of his office opened.


    He was stunned looking at the person who just entered his office.


    “Eric, I’m here… I’m here to apologize.” Lyndon Byer, Rosy’s father came.


    It was an expected visit from him.


    He looked tired and he was like an animal without a home.


    He was very different from the nobleman he once knew.


    Eric sat on the couch as he pointed to the sofa in front of him.


    “Have a seat Uncle Byer.” Eric could not be rude to the man who he owed for his sess now.


    Without him, Eric could not reach his wealthy status right now.


    Mr. Byer sat on the sofa with lowered head and shoulder.


    He seemed to be so sorry for what he had done.


    “What happened, Uncle Byer? What you did to ourpany was not eptable. Coming from you?


    Not in my wildest mind could think that you will betray me and mypany.” Though he was trying his


    best not to explode in front of him, Eric couldn’t still hold his dismay towards the man he looked up to.


    He couldn’t believe in just an instant, he changed.


    He changed a lot to the point of leaving his family for sluts and gambling.


    “Trust me, Eric… It wasn’t my n at all. I met a woman who is very beautiful on one of my family’s


    cruises. She likes to y a lot in casinos. As a man I did everything to make her happy and for her to


    be my woman. I know it’s wrong but I cannot control myself, Eric. I was hypnotized by her beauty and


    her smile to me was divine!” Mr. Byer shook his head slowly like he still remembered the girl they first


    met.


    He seemed to be so in loved and fond of the girl.


    Eric couldn''t believe what he was hearing but he listened.


    He eagerly wanted to know what made a nobleman change that sudden.


    What made him give up her family and what made him embezzle funds in hispany?


    He wanted to know everything from scratch.


    “She loved me too. We traveled together everywhere where we can y casino with her friends. Of


    course, I have to pay for everything. I have to sustain her happiness.” Mr. Byer continued then he


    stopped with a gloomy face.


    “Then what happened?” Though he knew it already, Eric asked just to make him realize what he had


    lost.


    “He left me with another rich man when she heard me talking to Rosy. She heard me stole funds then


    she thought I’m broke.” Mr. Byer answered with full of bitterness in his tone. “I’m sorry Eric.” He said full


    of regrets.


    Eric looked at him seriously.


    In his mind, his uncle Byer just wasted his money for a gold climber slut.


    It was the money of hispany.


    He couldn’t help to heave a very deep sigh to control his anger.


    “Where’s the girl now? What is her name?” Eric was determined to teach the girl a lesson.


    She had to pay what she owed him.


    She had to pay all his money.


    “I don’t know… and I just found out that the name she gave to me wasn’t true.” With full of


    disappointment in his tone, Mr. Byer answered. “She told me her name is Stephanie Collins.” Mr. Byer


    added.


    “Well then, you are deceived by a gold digger, uncle Byer,” Eric concluded with full of irritation in his


    tone.


    The girl’s name alone made him very disgusted.


    The person he hated the most was gold diggers.


    He would definitely find this woman to appease his intensifying irk inside.


    He would never let this woman go until she would see what she destroyed in her hand.


    She destroyed a family.


    She is a homewrecker.


    This kind of people should be taught a lesson.


    “I will take care of this woman, uncle Byer. Don’t worry, I will make sure she will get her karma for


    tricking you. Go home now to your family. You belong nowhere but to your family.” Eric treated Mr.


    Byer’s family as his own so their matter was also his.


    “Eric, I am really sorry.” Mr. Byer uttered again. “I… I swore, I wanted to pay you but I still didn’t have


    the money but I have a proposal for you.” Mr. Byer conveyed with full of seriousness in his tone.


    He looked at Eric trying to get his approval for his proposal.


    “What is your proposal?” Eric had no idea what Mr. Byer was trying to say.


    Puzzled, he eagerly waited to hear his proposal.


    “I… I want you to marry my daughter Rosy. Take Rosy as your wife. That is to show you how sorry I am


    that even my dearest wife, I will entrust her to you.” Mr. Byer answered directly.


    Eric was suddenly taken aback.


    This just meant that Mr. Byer was paying him with his daughter, Rosy.


    If only Rosy would know this, she would probably have gone mad.


    “I can’t.” Eric quickly answered. “I can’t marry Rosy.” He strongly refused with the respect of her best


    friend.


    “But Eric, don’t take it wrongly. My daughter had loved you for a very long time. She was madly in love


    with you. If you make her your wife, she would be the happiest girl.” Mr. Byer defended his argument.


    “No. I can’t. I can’t because I have already a woman that I love and I am already married to her.” Eric


    answered back.


    Hearing Eric, Mr. Byer was in awe.


    He couldn’t believe what he heard.


    “Is that true?” He wanted to confirm if he was hearing it right.


    “Yes. And Rosy knows about it.” Eric answered directly.


    “But…what about my daughter?” Mr. Byer’s tone was full of worries. “Don’t you know that she loves


    you very much? She had no boyfriend since birth because she was waiting for you, Eric. She was


    waiting for you to love her back.” Mr. Byer continued with a sincere and dismayed expression.


    “I know,” Eric answered honestly. Ever since he knew Rosy loves him more than a best friend but it was


    unfair for her if he would just teach his heart to love her because he knew she loved him. Nevertheless,


    the heart couldn’t be deceived and couldn’t be taught. It has its own mind and feelings. “I know from the


    very start, Mr. Byer but my heart belongs to somebody else,” Eric added with firmness in his tone.


    After hearing him, Mr. Byer nodded. He seemed to understand him clearly. Then he heaved a deep


    sigh.


    “Well then, forget my proposal. When can I meet your wife?” Mr. Byer asked trying to use a cheerful


    tone to cover up his dismay.


    “Soon. I will bring her next time.” Eric answered with a smile.


    “Okay then… I’m looking forward to it Eric.” Mr. Byer said. “About the money…” He wanted to tackle


    with him how he was going to pay Eric but Eric cut him.


    “No need. I hope the nobleman I once knew got the lesson from this experience. Go home now. Say


    sorry to your family before it’s toote.” Eric suggested in a good mood.


    Mr. Byer nodded and hugged him apologetically before he left.


    Eric had sobered up.


    His conversation with Mr. Byer went all good.


    He looked up to the man as his real father and for him, it was more valuable than money.


    He swore to introduce him to the woman he loved the most.


    After a while, he got a call from his secretary.


    “Sir, your flight was set for tonight at 10 pm.” Ms. Sarah Ward, Eric’s secretary announced.


    “I got it but first, I have someone for you to find out. AKA Stephanie Collins, not her real name. I will


    send to you her pictureter. I want her information noter than today. Clear?” Remembering the


    woman’s name made him pissed again.


    He uttered his words indifferently and he was like scolding his secretary.


    After his order, he dropped the call and texted his Uncle Byer to send him the photo of the gold digger.


    Then he sat on his working chair.


    Immediately, his phone chimed.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    He quickly opened it.


    It was the picture he asked for from his uncle.


    He pressed the attachment and the photo opened.


    His heart suddenly skipped a beat.


    The girl in the photo was very beautiful.


    What his uncle said was all true. Her beauty could hypnotize.


    He was even hypnotized by just a picture of Stephanie smiling on a swing.


    She looked young and full of spirit.


    Eric couldn’t help but massage his forehead.


    He could not be also deceived by her.


    Her pretty charming look was her power to victimize older men.


    Grabbed their money until they got broke the left them with another.


    What a shame!


    Eric cursed the beautiful photo in front of him.


    Never he would fall for a girl like her.


    A disgusting gold-digger.


    Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Arabe met Bill’s scorching eyes.


    How this man looked at her was like already killing her.


    Undeniably, even if his eyes were furious, his handsomeness never lessened even a bit.


    With true honesty, his intimidating powerful character perfectlyplimented his domineering charm.


    The handsome powerful king on his throne.


    His stare gave her a chill down her spine.


    She tried her very best not to stumble and fall to the ground which would cause her to die in


    embarrassment with the presence of the new woman robot.


    “I’m …” She started talking mustering her courage. “Senator Meyer sent me here to give you this.” She


    reached out the envelope to him.


    At this time, she just hoped that he would simply receive the envelope then she would leave


    immediately without no turning back but Bill’s eyes were fixated on her.


    He didn’t even give a single nce at the envelope.


    “Leave!” Bill finally spoke. His eyes turned darker as he yelled.


    She trembled in fright.


    She was already expecting this but she could still not help trembling.


    ‘Arabe get a grip!’ She reminded herself boosting her confidence.


    But his voice alone could make her knees soften.


    His stare alone could make her heart shiver.


    His whole persona made her very scared.


    How could the most handsome in her eyes also scare her the most?


    “I…” She uttered trying to defend the situation and herself but her words didn’t push through.


    “I’m sorry Ms. Jones but you need to leave now.” Cherrie quickly blocked her sight again as she cut her


    words.


    “No!” Arabe strongly refused. She could not leave without aplishing her mission. Her father


    would die. “I will not leave until he will get this envelope.” She felt wasted by the woman who was like a


    robot to her.


    Bill’s new robot.


    “Bill Sky. Get this envelope and I will leave!” She roared demanding the man.


    She was so sick of her situation. First with Sen. Meyer and him.


    She was like a little marshmallow in the middle of giant walls.


    She would just be squeezed t if they smashed each other.


    She felt also like a puppet and a bait.


    Whichever, she felt nothing good was about to happen.


    Between the two walls, in the end, she swore she would not suffer again.


    “Ms. Jones, leave now or I will call the security,” Cherry warned her with eyeballs bulging in anger.


    “Huh! Don’t block my way. I need to give this envelope to your boss and I will leave.” She blurted out.


    Seeing her unmoved, Cherry snapped her fingers.


    Three men hurriedly came in.


    They were about to grab Arabe but, “All of you, leave!” Bill roared again sitting on his throne


    domineeringly.


    Cherry snapped it out as she looked at Bill.


    Then she quickly strode outside followed by Bill’s men leaving Arabe alone with Bill Sky in the


    room.
