Chapter 411: Too Late For Everything
Chapter 411: Too Late For Everything
Inside her ward, Arabella’s tears could not stop flowing.
She broke down after Bill visited her.
Her cry was silent but her tears serenaded the intense pain in her heart.
Once again, her heart was shattered into pieces.
Arabella cried with all her heartache.
She could not bear the pain anymore.
When all she thought was that Bill was already by her side, she was slapped by the reality that Bill was
just playing with her from the start.
Arabella sobbed as her thoughts took her back to Bill’s words for her earlier.
“I don’t have any feelings for you, Arabella, as you have claimed. I tried… I tried to assess myself but
there was nothing at all.” Bill stopped as he released a heavy sigh.
“I never saw a woman as desperate as you and I must admit, I had enjoyed playing with you from start
to end.” At this point, Bill’s tone was arrogant.
He was mocking her in a calm manner.
Arabella was taken aback.
Now, she realized that Bill didn’t take her to let her prove herself to him but he took her to play from the
start.
It gave her so much pain in the heart.
She wanted to say something and asked so many questions but the intense pain in her heart hindered
her.
She wanted to cry out loud but she couldn’t.
She wanted to get angry with Bill but at this moment, she could only feel nothing but pain.
Her eyes instantly got moist signaling that her stubborn tears would come out so soon.
Even though the pain was slowly killing her, Arabella managed to gather her composure and fix her
breathing.
She looked at Bill seriously finding the truth in everything he said because, for her, Bill was just lying.
What about the time they shared on the small island?
That kiss on the cliff?
The time when he picked her up in the bar where she met Mark for the first time?
What about his anger toward her whenever he was jealous?
What about his words for her that she found sweet?
Arabella felt those moments were real and sincere.
Why Bill was telling the opposite to her now?
Why?
Is it because of his wedding tomorrow with Trishia?
Or did Trishia trick him again to do something for her?
“Bill… when are you going to wake up that Trishia was the villain?!” Arabella could not help blurting it
out. “If you are just playing with me from the start then why did you save me? Why did you f*cking bring
me to the hospital? Why did you not let me die?” This time, Arabella’s temper blasted.
She suddenly flushed as she seemed to go insane with Bill’s cruel treatment of her.
She didn’t expect Bill’s greetings after she just escaped from death.
How cruel!
Bill stood up.
He seemed not to like what he saw from Arabella.
It seemed he already wanted to go out as the topic seemed not to interest him anymore.
“Any woman who was in your situation, I will save. So, you can let go of your thoughts thinking that you
are special.” Bill sarcastically answered her. His tone and expression were domineering.
Arabella’s heart pained more.
She was like slapped by a million times with his words.
“You… you… don't have to do this to me, Bill…” With a soft voice, Arabella muttered.
She tried her best not to cry but then in just a quick second, a bead of tears skipped her eyes.
Quickly she wiped it.
She didn’t want Bill to see her crying.
“What about our moments together Bill? Are they all nothing to you? Why did you stop me that night
when I decided to leave?” As she frowned deeply, Arabella sounded aggressive.
For the last time, she wanted to ask.
She wanted to know because right at this moment, she already felt defeated.
She already lost the battle and she must accept.
Hearing Arabella’s question, Bill put his right hand inside his pocket.
His handsome indifferent face was staring at her.
She looked at him with a questioning expression and looked at him like she would not see him again.
Bill did the same.
His eyes pierced into her beautiful troubled face.
He looked at her scrutinizing the depth of her tantalizing wet eyes.
For a while, they were just looking at each other like they were both finding something in their eyes.
Something deep... something worth seeing...
Arabella was seeking the truth.
She was hoping that inside his eyes there lies the genuine truth but it was to no avail.
Bill’s eyes were cold and her heart froze under his gaze.
Suddenly, Bill smirked at her. “Look Arabella, I am a man and you know all men just wanted one thing
for a woman. So, don’t be surprised by what I acted.” Bill answered her question sarcastically. “S*x… I
am no different from the others.” Bill confessed and smiled but his eyes were not. “So, whatever
happened to us, it was nothing. Think of my reputation with women… and you… you are just one of
them. I hope you enjoyed the benefits of it.” Bill continued hurting Arabella.
His expression was so arrogant for her to bear.
He was hurting her non-stop.
Arabella’s heartbeat was pumping erratically like she just wanted to stop her heart from beating.
She wanted to not feel the immense pain anymore.
She didn’t want to breathe anymore.
She wanted to go back to her sleep and hoped that everything was just part of her dream.
That every pain would go and her restless heart would find its serenity.
“Bill… you don’t have to be so cruel to me,” Arabella sounded complaining in a soft tone with another
bead of tear escaping from the corner of her eye.
Bill heaved a sigh before he spoke again, “Now that you know, I think this is over. We are over!” Bill
announced with deep emphasis. “Just like that, I am dumping you, Arabella Jones,” Bill added with an
arrogant smirk on his handsome face.
Arabella’s heart pounded heavily.
She froze as she could feel the reality was already there in front of her.
It was all over.
Their story is over.
Arabella gritted her teeth to stabilize herself as she wiped her tears.
She didn’t want to cry in front of the person who just dumped her.
“So… stop pestering Trishia and me again. Do you understand?” Bill was looking at her without no pity.
He looked at her cold like usual.
Disheartened by his painful words, Arabella nodded at him.
Now that Bill finally dumped her, she felt fighting was not an option anymore.
It was futile when Bill had already given up on her.
Arabella felt her world shattered again.
She felt losing everything.
Adam and Bill.
She never abandoned and she would never abandon him if she only knew the truth about what
happened in the past.
If she had known it earlier, maybe she still had the chance to save her relationship with Bill.
Now, she had no chance at all.
Arabella knew she was too late for everything.
Maybe they were not really meant o be for each other.
Maybe they were fate to meet but not to be together forever.
This thought was bringing down her spirit but Arabella knew the time that she had to let go too.
She had to end all her suffering and the non-stop tension in her life.
“Bill…” Before Bill could exit her room, Arabella called him. “I promise to stop pestering you. I will not
see you anymore for your peace of mind but…” Arabella was hesitant but for the sake of, “Can I see
Adam? Can I have time with him too? Even once a week please?” Arabella could let go of Bill but not
her son.
She missed Adam so much.
She had hoped that Bill had done terrible things to her today and that maybe he would compensate her
in a certain way.
She just hoped that he was not that heartless but Bill frowned deeply.
He turned around to see her clearly.
His eyes were questioning her but quickly recovered.
“Why do you want to see him when you already abandoned him?” Bill’s eyes became furious.
“Believe it or not, I never abandoned my son, Bill. Never!” Arabella quickly refuted.
He could blame her for anything but not Adam.
She refused to be accused of abandoning her son.
Bill looked at her deeply.
He was like scrutinizing her keenly before he answered.
“Once a month.” Then without waiting for her reply, he strode away.
Arabella jolted and couldn’t believe what she had heard.
Could she just be dreaming?
Even if Bill didn’t grant what she wishes, at least he agreed with her.
It was already a blessing to a mom who could see her son even if it was just once a month.
All the pain in her heart seemed to vanish right away.
They were replaced by excitement.
Arabella heaved a sigh of relief.
She wiped her tears right away.
She still felt blessed.
Even if she had to close a door in her heart, she still had her son.
Adam was the only man who loved her genuinely and the only boy she would love the same.
Suddenly, her door opened. Arabella looked at the uninvited visitor.
Trishia Meyer.
She was sitting in a wheelchair and a nurse was pushing her forward.
She looked pale.
Her expression wasn’t the usual.
Seeing Trishia, Arabella felt angry.
For everything she had done to her and to all her loved ones, as much as possible, she didn’t want to
see her as she didn’t want to fight with her now.
Arabella had no appetite to bicker with Trishia.
“What are you doing here?” Arabella asked unhappily with Trishia’s presence.
Before Trishia spoke, she nodded her head giving a sign to the nurse to leave.
When the nurse left, Trishia rolled her wheelchair closer to Arabella’s bed.
“I’m here to check on you, sis…” Trishia sounded very sincere.
Her expression was serious like she really looked worried for her.
Arabella was taken aback.
As she always says, Trishia could trick anyone but not her.
She had experienced her viciousness and never she would fall to her trick again.
As the thought of this, Arabella chuckled mocking Trishia. “Get out, Trishia. You just escaped from
death but here you are again, trying to start another scheme. Not me! Exclude me! Now, get out!” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Arabella’s hatred towards Trishia would never fade. If she would not lucky enough, maybe she died a
long time because of Trishia Meyer.
“I’m… I’m sorry.” Suddenly, Trishia burst into tears. “I know I did a lot of bad things to you. I am very
sorry.”
Arabella was shocked.
She couldn’t believe her own ears.
She frowned deeply as her sharp eyes were with Trishia.
Trishia seemed very opposite to her bitchy trait. Her pale face was covered with her tears.
“I told you to get out because I don’t have time to play with you now, Trishia.” Though she felt
something was different from Trishia, Arabella still refused to be schemed by her.
“I know your anger for me is eternity. For what I have done to you, I know I can’t change that anymore.
If I can’t go back in time, If I knew earlier that you are my sister, maybe… things would be different
between us.” Trishia sounded soft.
Her expression showed sincerity while her eyes were filled with her tears.
“Arabella… my life wasn’t that easy. As you know, I really didn’t have a family to call my own. Growing
up… I was abused verbally and physically by my father.” Trishia sounded in pain and Arabella could
feel it because she knew about this.
Arabella suddenly felt pity for Trishia remembering how the Senator treated her before in front of many
people.
Even though her anger towards Trishia was so intense, Arabella could not help but feel sympathy for
Trishia.
“I grew up alone…alone and no one.”
“Until…you came.”
“Gosh! Heaven knows how I badly wanted to have a sister!” Trishia continued sentimentally.
“I am not greedy… Arabella. All of my life, I just want to have and marry the person that I love.” Trishia
muttered softly along with her tears.
“Arabella… I know, I can’t fix our relationship but please… let me be happy for once.” Trishia sounded
pleading with her tears as she was trying to move down.
Trishia was going to kneel in front of her. Arabella was taken aback.
“Please, let go of Bill Sky and let me have him.” Kneeling on the floor and crying, Trishia begged.
Arabella was lost for words. She did expect a fight with Trishia’s presence but never expect her to beg
and worst knelt on the ground.
With such arrogance and pride as Trishia Meyer, Arabella could not believe what she did.
“Nurse! Nurse!” Arabella shouted loudly for help.
She was annoyed with Trishia and herself.
She didn’t want to believe her as she knew how good was Trishia’s acting skills.
She didn’t want to fall for her trick again but then she started to feel pity for her.
No… This can’t be!
After she called, Trishia’s nurse who was waiting outside rushed inside.
“Arabella, you are my sister. Please, just this one… please… let me marry Bill. Please let go of Bill
Sky.” Even with someone’s presence, Trishia begged.
For a while, her cries broke the silence of the room.
Arabella looked at Trishia keenly.
“Bring her back to her room.” In a plain tone, Arabella ordered Trishia’s nurse.
The nurse quickly followed assisting Trishia to get up silently.
When Arabella thought, Trishia would get mad at her for not granting her wish just like usual, she was
wrong.
With a low head and shoulders, Trishia didn’t say anything else.
The nurse turned the wheelchair around to leave and then pushed in the door’s direction.
“Bill…” Before the nurse could open the door, Arabella suddenly sounded. “I already let him go,”
Arabella added plainly.
Hearing Arabella, Trishia smiled meaningfully. “I will hold on to your words. Thank you… sis.” Trishia
sounded sentimental and then they finally went out.
When the air and the silence were back to normal, Arabella heaved a deep sigh.
Bill just dumped her and Trishia begged for Bill.
It was time for her to close their story.
With a heavy heart, “Goodbye, Bill Sky.” Arabella muttered in the air.
