Chapter 468: Grateful


    “Are you okay?” Amidst the audience''s lively cheering, Bill asked seeing Arabe’s suddenly pale face


    and horrified expression.


    Hearing Bill’s voice, Arabe quickly snapped back to her senses.


    Feeling cold sweats all over her body, she managed to gather herposure then she smirked cutely


    at Bill. “Yeah… there’s nothing. I’m good.” She replied covering her shock.


    At the back of her mind, her thoughts were still so messy.


    She was sure that she saw Trishia standing and watching her performance with Bill.


    Her eyes were filled with resentment toward them.


    They were staring at her murderously and it gave her aplete chill all over her body.


    On the other hand, she still couldn’t believe what she saw.


    Maybe she was just mistaken or maybe it was just part of her imagination.


    But why?


    Why did Trishia suddenly sh across her mind in this kind of happy event in her life?


    Receiving apuse and praise from the crowd was something she was grateful for.


    That just meant their performance met the audience’s expectations or it did exceed them.


    Arabe was pleased with that seeing the happy and proud faces of her students as well as they were


    all first timers.


    Their parents, who were given extra passes just to watch their kids’ performance, were also gratified.


    Arabe held herself. It was not the time for her to ruin the lively atmosphere.


    So what if it was really Trishia or not?


    If yes, she would be happy that her half-sister was alive.


    If it was just part of her imagination, she should knock it off and just taste the triumph of their sessful


    performance.


    Bill suddenly grabbed her hand and squeezed it a little.


    This gave her a sort offort.


    The warmth of his soft palm touching her skin gave her security.


    Arabe looked at him meeting his handsome stare.


    She was so thankful that Bill was with her today.


    Then they smiled sweetly at each other.


    After they stood up together and bowed together gracefully to formally end their performance.


    Another loud cheer was heard from the crowd.


    It was the first time that the mighty Bill Sky was seen at the event ying the piano.


    Not only that, he yed with a woman beside him.


    Everyone witnessed him performing and entertaining the guest.


    People could not believe what they saw.


    The powerful Bill Sky and known to be the merciless businessman in the city.


    Who would have thought that he was not just an outstanding businessman but he was also a great


    talent?


    Feeling so proud of Bill’s unexpected performance, the mayor raised his ss for Arabe and Bill Sky.


    With Bill’s presence and performance, he surely had secured his seat in the next election as the Sky’s


    political influence was the strongest in the city.


    Too bad, the young Mr. Bill Sky didn’t want to enter politics.


    Many had tried to convince him but they were all turned down by him personally.


    “Mr. Sky, I didn’t know you have this magnificent hidden talent,” The mayor came forward to


    congratte them.


    Bill just simply smirked and nodded to acknowledge the mayor. “And you…” The mayor continued as


    he nced at Arabe. Arabe smiled and bowed slightly to show respect for the mayor.


    “Thank you, Mr. Mayor,” Arabe responded humbly. “Thank you, Mr. mayor for giving us the


    opportunity to perform in this prestigious event of yours.” She added.


    “Nah… it’s not all me.” The mayor refuted coolly as his smile widened. “You should thank the person


    who personally rmended you and your school.” He added with a naughty wink.


    Arabe frowned and looked at the mayor full of curiosity.


    So, someone rmended her and her school plus the word personally, who could be that person?


    Then she looked at Bill Sky beside her with a doubtful expression.


    The only person she had in mind was none other than him.


    Bill smirked at her handsomely.


    She seemed to know the meaning of his expression.


    “Yeah, that’s right, Ms. Jones. It’s the man beside you. How could I say no to the only Bill Sky?” The


    mayor could not help to spill the truth along with his soft chuckle. “Oh, please don’t be displeased about


    it. I don’t have any regret getting you. You see, the crowd was so fulfilled with your excellent


    performance.” The mayor added to pacify Arabe and to not get him wrong.


    Arabe looked at Bill seriously then she smiled at the mayor. “I understand. Once again, thank you for


    the invitation, mayor. Thank you, Mr. Sky.” Arabe formally spoke to Bill like they were not in a mutual


    rtionship.


    She didn’t expect that Bill would help her in secret.


    She was touched by her man but she had no guts to show it in public, especially in front of the mayor.


    “I have to excuse myself now.” Arabe smiled while she sounded so polite and professional.


    She bowed gracefully at the mayor before she exit but Bill’s hand grabbed her arm.


    Arabe halted.


    Bill looked at her meeting her eyes. “Stay,” He ordered briefly.


    Arabe smiled to get rid of the awkwardness.


    She could not afford to make a scene in front of a respected man in the city.


    The only pass she received was a performer invitation.


    That just meant she should not be at the party after their performance because only the elites of the


    society were invited.


    “Yeah, please stay, Ms. Jones, and be my guest.” The mayor quickly butted in sensing how Bill Sky


    wanted the woman to stay and be his muse at the party.


    Arabe felt awkward if she would refuse the two men.


    She smiled to cover her shyness as she looked at Bill and the mayor. “It’s my pleasure, mayor,”


    Arabe replied along with her sweet smile.


    Still, she felt she didn’t belong to the group but with Bill’s hand holding her arm, she had less fear.


    She was confident to face the world with him.


    Bill was satisfied with her answer.


    “Mr. Mayor, this is a nice party.” Suddenly, a very familiar voice sounded beside them.


    The mayor quickly turned around to wee another guest.


    “Oh, Sen. Meyer.” He uttered seeing the old senator approaching them.


    Arabe instantly halted.


    She never wanted to see the wicked senator.


    His smile instantly made her nervous but Bill was quick enough to squeeze her arm a little.


    She looked at Bill.


    Bill’s eyes were telling her to rx.


    Arabe heaved a sigh to get rid of her uneasiness.


    “Oh, Mr. Bill Sky, you are here. It’s nice to see you again.” Sen. Meyer was standing now beside the


    mayor.


    He sounded like he had a close rtionship with Bill Sky.


    After all, everyone knew that Bill and his daughter got married which just meant he is Bill Sky’s father-


    inw.


    Bill simply smirked at the senator.


    His eyes were unreadable and cold.


    Still trying to calm herself, Arabe looked at the senator sternly.


    She could not help herself pretending to be cool and good in front of the man who once kidnapped her


    and her father.


    Not only that, he used her before to get what he wanted from Bill Sky.


    Arabe could not pretend.


    She never wanted to see the senator again.


    Whenever she looked into his eyes, she could sense that he was up for something sinister again.


    This senator would never stop until he got what he wanted from Bill Sky.


    He could use everyone even the mayor to get what he wanted.


    He is very dangerous and should be avoided.


    “Oh, look who is here too, Arabe… Arabe Jones.” The senator quickly recognized her.


    Arabe didn’t reply but she just looked at Sen. Meyer full of resentment.


    She was sure Sen. Meyer would understand her reaction seeing him again.


    She was sure that the senator still remembered all the bad things he had done to her.


    She had no n to act cool in front of him.


    “Excuse me,” Arabe said in a hurry.


    She could not attain to see the senator and stay with hispany any longer.


    She felt the need to leave immediately.


    Arabe looked at Bill sending him a message to let go of her but Bill refused to release her.


    “Excuse us,” Bill formally uttered to the mayor and the senator.


    Obviously, he didn''t want her to go away alone.


    The mayor nodded immediately but the Senator stopped them. “My son-inw, is this how you treat the


    father of your wife?” Sen. Meyer sounded decisive and obviously, he was targeting something.


    Bill halted calmly as he smirked again.


    He seemed to acknowledge the senator’s lousy trait.


    Bill was unaffected by the old man’s words.


    “Hmmm… ex-wife.” Bill was naturally arrogant.


    He corrected the senator with his domineering demeanor. “ex-father and son-inw.” Bill added coolly


    then he turned around with Arabe who was still taken aback by the scene.


    Holding a ss of whiskey, Sen. Meyer''s furious eyes assisted the two''s back who was walking away


    then after a while he smirked wickedly thinking of his n.


    Bill put her arm wrapped in his arm as they strode together with all eyes on them.


    At first, Arabe felt shy but with Bill, it quickly vanished.


    She was ready for everything as long as she was with Bill, there was nothing she could endure.


    Bill was too good to help her and be there for her.


    He was like his strongest wall protecting her from any harm.


    Bill was the reason why she was not afraid of everything and she swore that she would also protect Bill


    from the people who wanted to hurt him whatever it takes.


    Bill guided her to the exit where Bill''s car was already waiting for them.


    He quickly opened the backseat and before Arabe entered inside she looked at Bill seriously.


    "You can go back now. I can manage." Arabe said sincerely.


    Bill frowned as he met her eyes.


    "I''m going with you," Bill uttered inly.


    Arabe was taken aback.


    "Nah! Nah... Bill, you are invited to that party. You are the VIP. So please go back now." Arabe felt


    guilty.

    She knew Bill had an important part in the event.


    He smirked cutely.


    With his dark blue business suit, he was the most handsome among all the people inside.


    There''s no doubt why the women inside were giggling and their eyes were fixated on him.


    Arabe also saw some envious expressions earlier.


    Without her asking them, she knew that it was all about the gorgeous man who was walking beside her.


    "Not without my muse," Bill still refused as he held Arabe''s cheek with his thumb.


    Arabe red at him doubtfully.


    Bill just smiled at her.


    "You can get one there. I promised I will not get mad and besides you had my permission." Thinking of


    how many girls at the party looked at Bill like a delicious meal, Arabe quickly regretted what she said.


    When she saw Bill nod at her, she felt she was toote.


    It was toote for her to take back her words.


    "Okay! I''m taking your word." Bill said coolly as he turned around and walked calmly.


    "Stop!" Arabe suddenly sounded almost shouting.


    Her voice was domineering and she knew she could only do that to him.


    Bill halted as he slowly turned around with a naughty smile.


    He seemed to know that Arabe was going to stop him.


    Then he walked back to her with a sexy tall figure.


    He stopped leaving a very small gap from Arabe and he leaned forward.


    "What do you want Arabe Jones?" Bill sounded so flirty.


    His hot breath was so sexy touching her neck skin and her earlobe.


    This made Arabe uncontrobly bite her lower lip to stabilize herposure and breathing.


    "Hmmm..." For a moment, she could not say something but gulped.


    Bill smiled sexily seeing her expression as she blushed tremendously.


    Undeniably, he finds it very cute and it turns him on.


    Arabe suddenly tip-toed. "Shall we go home?" She whispered sweetly to Bill.


    Bill''s smile widened.


    "Hmmm... I saw lots of beautiful women here that can be my muses," He whispered back naughtily.


    "Mr. Sky, I bet you will regret it if you won''te home now," Arabe whispered in a flirty tone.


    She intentionally brushed her lips on his earlobe.


    Bill was speechless at this time.


    He seemed to be thinking wildly as his expression was something so pleased with something.


    "Better than those muses inside?" Bill asked ying doubtfully.


    "The best you can ever have, Mr. Sky," Arabe answered.


    "Hmmm... then let''s go home." Bill sounded as he winked at her cutely.


    Arabe smiled and was satisfied that Bill was willing to go home with her.


    He didn''t mind about the party and he only mind being with her.


    Arabe was very thankful to the man beside him.


    She then put her head on his shoulder while their driver was driving heading back to the mansion.


    The night got deeper.


    Bill was caught with Adam.


    The boy had a lot of things in his hand and for the first time, he asked for help from his dad.


    Bill was quite happy with his son''s approach.


    After, he went to his study room for some paper works.


    Then he received a text message.


    It was from Arabe.


    He frowned.


    ''I can''t sleep without you. Come to me now.''


    Upon seeing the message, Bill smiled and shook his head.


    He quickly closed hisptop and stood up.


    When he arrived outside their room, he knocked but no one opened it.


    He pushed open the door then he stood frozen.


    His room was lighted only with candles everywhere.


    A woman wearing a red sexyced bikini was half lying on his bed with a red rose in her mouth.


    Her wless back was unting and her front was pressing the bed.


    She was looking at him seductively waiting for him.


    Bill smiled handsomely.


    His expression was satisfied and by the way he looked at her, he seemed to tell her that you are


    waiting for the right person and this person would not make you down.


    Arabe was contented.


    She knew this night would be too painful for her judging Bill''s uncontrolled arousal but she was ready


    for it.


    From the bottom of her heart, she wanted to thank him with an extra special effort for helping her and


    her school.


    Bill was always there for her silently and now, it was just right to make him happy tonight.


    Tonight would be the wildest night she could ever imagine in her life.


    She swore to satisfy Bill at an extraordinary level in the bed.


    He could go further and use all his intense s*x stuff on her.


    Bill could do everything he wanted without no restriction and she was ready for him.
