Chapter 167: Decoy
Chapter 167: Decoy
“Damien, Adam… Adam went away.” Arabella called Damien who was waiting for them outside the
venue where Arabella specifically instructed.
“What?” He replied almost shouting. “Calm down. Tell me what happened.” Damien asked trying to also
calm his shock.
“He already knew about his dad.” She answered with a cold tone inside Bill’s car. They were driving in
her apartment’s direction.
Bill looked at her with a displeased expression. He seemed to have a very big offensive question mark
on his face. Arabella saw his expression but didn’t mind him. She was pissed with him but she opted to
be with him as she knew he was the only one who’s capable of finding her son.
In her thought, Adam would probably go home. On the second thought, he might drop by at the park.
“Damien, please do me a favor. Please call Lira if ever Adam would show up to her.” It was almost
sunset and that made Arabella worried too much for her son.
“I will do that but what about you? Where are you? Who are you with?” Damien asked worriedly.
Arabella heaved a sigh before she answered. “I’m with him.” Though she didn’t want to answer, she felt
that Damien should know the truth. He was a good friend of her ever since.
“Hmmm…” Damien muttered in a low cold sound. “Is that man harassing you? Just tell me I can also
protect you and Adam.” With a discontented tone, Damien sounded.
“Damien, I’m okay. Don’t worry. Let’s focus on Adam for now.” Arabella replied with reassurance in her
voice.
Damien calmed down, “Okay.” He uttered in a low unsatisfied tone. “But promise me we will talk after.”
He added pleading.
“Okay. We will talk.” She answered then hung up the phone.
Bill looked at her after her words. His eyebrows furrowed with a displeased look.
“What is that?” He sarcastically sounded driving.
“Why do you care?” She answered rolling her eyes on him then averted her gaze outside. She was not
in the mood to cater to his arrogance and sarcasm.
“Do you like that guy?” Bill asked amidst a great tension in the air. Arabella was suddenly stunned by
her sudden question but she just smirked.
“And if I say yes?” She didn’t want to use her energy arguing with him but she couldn’t help her
annoyance to him. Her voice was provoking as she looked at him fiercely.
Bill didn’t say anything for a while. His eyes were focused on the road.
“You can’t like him.” He then announced domineeringly.
Arabella rolled her eyes again in serious disbelief. “Seriously? And who are you to tell me that? “She
didn’t want to be just a loser in this conversation.
Not today.
Not after she lost her son again because of him.
Her annoyance surged up with his possessive words.
“I’m just the father of your child and the only man you can love.” He answered with an imposing tone.
At this time Bill stopped the car and looked at her seriously.
Arabella chuckled. She looked at him with insults on her face. “Love?” She asked mocking. “With you?”
She frowned continued chuckling softly. “Are you taking drugs?” She asked rolling her eyes then
averted her eyes outside the window. A man with no love in the body was talking about that thing now.
After he did to her, she believed that the word love didn’t exist in Bill’s dictionary.
“If you believe that you can still escape from me,” Bill smirked. “So wrong.” With a devilishly handsome
face, he grinned at her then looked at the road again but in just a quick minute, his phone received a
call. Bill quickly pressed his Bluetooth earphone to answer.
“Sir, we confirmed that your son is kidnapped.” The man announced quickly. “We saw it in the
surveillance that Adam got inside the car with a man.” He continued reporting. “But don’t worry, we are
tracking the location of the car now.” The man ended with a positive remark.
“Good,” Bill said calmly. “Send me the location quickly.” He strictly ordered.
The time had gone quickly, Bill received the location and he drove the car almost flying. When they
reached the location, the police and his men were already there but Adam and the culprit weren’t there.
The car that was used was abandoned in a remote dark place deliberately crashed on a big tree. It was
totally wrecked.
“My son! My son!” Arabella quickly ran towards the car but was stopped by the police men. She was
very nervous that her heart sank seeing the crash.
“I’m sorry ma’am, you can’t go inside this perimeter. It’s very dangerous.” A policeman blocked her way.
“No! You can’t say that. My son is inside that car! Get out of my way!” She lost her temper when she
saw the car crash. Her heart was instantly got broken and her tears came out flowing thinking of her
son. Adam had already suffered too much when she met Bill again. If it wasn’t for him, Adam would be
just lying on the sofa and watching his favorite night show.
“Calm down.” Bill held her wrist.
“Get away from me! I need to see my son!” She snatched her arms back but Bill didn’t let go of her.
“That car will blow if you will go there. My men already checked the car and there’s no one in there. Do
you understand?” Bill’s calm faded due to her stubbornness. His eyes were dangerously pierced at her.
“But where’s my son?” She asked hysterically with tears continued dripping.
“If you want to find your son, Get inside the car.” Bill with controlled anger ordered but Arabella was
unmoved. “Now!” Bill shouted dangerously which made her tremble and follow hurriedly.
Looking at the wrecked car, Bill’s eyes darkened. He got his phone then made a call.
“Mom, did you kidnap Adam?” He asked with a serious cold tone.
“Adam is kidnapped?” Kelly shockingly asked.
“Yes, and I swear if you did this…” Bill’s voice was deep but the threat in his voice was screaming.
“No!” Before Bill could finish, Kelly answered. “Look, I know you hate me now son but I am telling the
truth. I don’t have Adam.” She added with a soft trembling tone. Kelly knew that her son hated her for
what happened as this was the first time that he talked to her like she was not his mother. The coldness
of his voice was so intense that gave her a chill. Bill was her only family left and she could not afford to
lose her only son.
After Kelly’s words, Bill was about to cut the call but, “Son, wait!” Kelly hurriedly called out.
“I put your son a tracker in his tuxedo.” Kelly quickly announced. It was supposed to be used for her
plan at the wedding before the shocking scandal of Trishia was exposed.
Bill sighed then cut the call. In just the next second, Bill tracked his son’s location.
“Bring all forces to the location and lock down the perimeter.” He strictly ordered George.
Meanwhile, Winston brought Trishia to see Adam. She still didn’t believe him that he had Adam.
Trishia smirked triumphantly seeing the boy from the corner. He was still wearing a tuxedo watching a
movie in the living room.
“Why aren’t you tying him?” Trishia asked worriedly. “Don’t you know that boy is a genius?” She added.
“Don’t worry, he would not run,” Winston said confidently.
“How sure are you?” Trishia asked with doubt frowning.
“He didn’t want to go home,” Winston answered with a smile.
“What?” Confused but Trishia smiled wickedly.
Earlier,
“Come here kid!” Winston saw Adam behind the big bush hiding. He waved his hand. “I’m your
mother’s friend and I’m here to save you,” Winston added to deceive Adam.
Adam stood up and went in his direction. “Follow me.” Said Winston smiling proudly that he easily
allured the little boy.
When they were inside the car, the boy was silent. Winston looked at him with a gloomy face.
“Are you alright kid?” Winston asked seeing the boy with no glow in his eyes.
“I know you are not my mom’s friend,” Adam uttered lazily.
Winston was stunned. “Then why did go with me?” He asked in disbelief.
“Because I don’t want to go home,” Adam answered as he leaned on the backrest and closed his eyes.
Winston was dumbfounded. He was amazed by the boy's braveness and traits.
“So, you know I am kidnapping you all the while?” Winston asked in disbelief.
“Please be quiet Mister. I’m just so tired. Just wake me up when we arrive.” With closed eyes, Adam
sounded tired.
As planned, Winston switched cars. He carried the sleeping Adam to another car to avoid being traced
by his powerful father. Then he brought Adam to his secret hide-out where he used to stay for a while
when he planned the whole revenge for his sister.
“Here’s the plan Winston, we need to get Arabella then we killed them both.” Trishia sounded bossy
beside Winston. She was wearing a thick jacket with a hood.
“Look Trishia, you’re not gonna be the boss here. What would I get killing them both? Come on! I just
want money from his billionaire’s dad.” Winston smirked at her. He got Adam, not for Trishia. He just
grabbed the opportunity when he saw Adam.
Trishia was annoyed by Winston’s words as she was used to ordering Winston anytime but he was now
different. He seemed not on her side anymore and he was imposing on his plan.
“You listen to me. You are already dead kidnapping Bill Sky’s son. Don’t you know that?” Trishia said in
a way like he was the dumbest person in the world not to realize what he had done.
After Trishia’s words, the big sounds of helicopters and lots of vehicles outside were suddenly heard.
Winston and Trishia were alarmed.
“You! Do you set me up?” Winston shouted as he reached Trishia’s neck angrily.
“No! Are you out of your mind?” Trishia answered rattled.
“Trishia, you should not be trusted!” Feeling betrayed, Winston reached a rope beside him and tied
Trishia’s hand.
“Winston, let go of me now!” Trishia ordered like she was used to but Winston was driven with anger by
her betrayal.
“Baby, don’t do….” Trishia wanted to allure Winston but she was cut when he put duct tape on Trishia’s
mouth.
“Hmmm…” Trishia sounded struggling. “Hmmm…” She sounded hysterical.
“Mister?” Adam sounded behind Trishia. He was also alerted to the noise and the commotion outside.
“You two, follow me!” Winston ordered sternly then he pulled Trishia’s rope. She dragged Trishia to the
kitchen and Adam followed. Then Winston flipped the carpet and opened a small door that led to a
stairway to his basement.
He entered Adam first and pushed Trishia before he jumped in it.
“Mr. Sky, I’m afraid. This is another decoy. We found your son’s suit on the sofa.” George reported and
gave the suit to Bill.
Bill nodded with a stern face holding his son’s suit. His eyes were fierce that no one would want to
meet them.
Arabella quickly went out of the car and snatched Adam’s suit. “No. Adam is here. He is here.” Arabella
insisted as she felt the warmth of her son.
Bill looked at her like studying her.
“Where are you going?” He shouted seeing Arabella run away.
“I will find my son!” She answered as she ran in a direction. Bill was alarmed and chased her. The area
was dark and was full of grasses trees and bushes. The slope was unexpected and one wrong move
could lead someone to roll on a steep side or fall. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Bill’s phone suddenly rang. He quickly looked and saw Trishia’s name. He quickly answered. “Where’s
Adam?” His voice was deep and dangerous.
Trishia didn’t answer instead he heard some commotions in the other line. Bill put it on a loudspeaker
then when Arabella heard it, she stopped running and quickly turned back to Bill.
“Release us, Winston!” Trishia sounded. “Release Adam, he is innocent. Don’t touch him. Just kill me
not him.” Trishia shouted pleading.
“So, are you playing the heroine now?” Winston mockingly asked.
“I never love you! I only love Bill and I love his son too. So don’t ever touch Adam or I will kill you.”
Trishia shouted angrily. "You set me up at my own wedding. You made that video all yourself to ruin my
image to the whole world and my wedding. You know that video was not true. You use that to blackmail
me to love you but I will never love you even if I die. I will only love Bill Sky in this life!" Trishia shouted
crying but firm.
After her words, a hard slap was heard. “Ah!” Trishia painfully sounded.
“Adam, run! Save yourself. I will give my life to you because I love your father and I love you.” Trishia
shouted with eagerness in her voice.
“Are you crazy?” Winston angrily yelled.
Then after his words, a loud gunshot was heard.
