Chapter 3 Ms Arabella Jones

• After the incident last night, Arabella spent her day sleeping on her bed. She didn’t mind the time. Her body was still in a deep shock. ‘That man is really a scumbag!’ she tightened her hug on her pillow while thinking of the arrogant man last night.
• She tried to remember his face, but it was like a puzzle with a missing piece. 'Who is he?' She was curious and at the same time anxious, but she couldn't figure it out. She didn't even remember how she got out of that place.
• Jason Hansen, her ex-boyfriend contacted her last night to have a good closure. He dumped her like trash when his family knew the mess she went through.
• Jason is the CEO of Hansen Group next to SKY Corporation. He was her boyfriend for almost 5 years. They had been university classmates abroad.
• After their graduation, Jason went back home to manage their company while she stayed abroad pursuing her career. Jason never failed to visit her on every special occasion.
• She once thought that Jason would be a perfect husband for her.
• She once thought that she had a perfect life.
• She once thought that she had a perfect family.
• Until she decided to come back home to surprise her parents.
• She just remembered stepping out from the plane in Capital Z, and she was full of excitement 'Finally, I'm home!'
• But to her dismay, her mom broke the news to her.
• “Your father has a mistress!” her mother cried out loud while trembling with tears in her eyes.
• "Your dad already confessed to me about his affair with that woman a long time ago." She added in a sad voice while tears kept flowing from her eyes.
• “What? Why I didn’t know about this?” Arabella was shocked.
• She was very disappointed with her father. He used to be her hero.
• When she was young, they used to be her inspiration and she even dreamt of being just like them when she has her own family in the future.
• This news for her was extremely horrifying. ‘What happened to their love for each other?’ She couldn’t stand the fact that her perfect family was completely ruined.
• “Where is Dad now? I want to talk to him!” She was so angry. She wanted to meet her dad and throw the blame to his face.
• “He is not here. He flew to N City with her mistress for a business trip.” With annoyance, her mother Jaime said.
• "What? Are you okay with that Mom? This set-up is so bizarre!" Feeling perturbed, she retorted angrily.
• "Listen up, I love your dad so much. I already accepted the fact that he has a mistress and I agreed not to interfere with his relationship with that woman as long as he lives here with me." Jaime explained with sincerity in her eyes.
• “What?” That’s the only word she can say. She was dumbfounded upon hearing these words from her mother.
• "I'd rather die without your father. We can still be happy, right? Come on Arabella! You just need to accept it." Facing her with sincerity, Jaime was convincing her to accept the situation.
• "Unbelievable! Well, sorry I am not like you, Mom. If Dad would stay in this house with all his dirty affairs consider me gone here." Arabella couldn't contain it anymore. She stood up and swiftly ran to her room slamming the door. She was heartbroken. Her parents seemed to not care about her feelings at all.
• She must not live in this house or else she will be tortured by her mom's misery and her dad's shameless face every day. 'The heck!' She packed her stuff in her luggage and called Jason to pick her up, but the call could not get through so she dialed her best-friend, Farrah Fin, and asked her for help.
• "Farrah, please pick me up tonight, I'm here now at my parent's villa. I need to get out of here soon. Can you come?" Arabella asked her straight away. Her voice was shaking from crying.
• "Hey. What's up? Are you crying? Are you okay? "Farrah is her only best friend. They have known each other since they were in high school. Farrah Fin is an IT genius who specializes in hacking. She won many awards in the Cyber Security competitions. Her family owns the biggest Cyber Security company in Capital Z.
• “Yeah, I’m alright. Please Hurry up! I will tell you everything.” Arabella wiped her tears from her swollen eyes.
• “I’m on my way. Cool down. Okay? I’ll be there.” Farrah Fin arrived soon and brought her to her family’s villa.
• The two stayed together in Farrah's room.
• Arabelle tried calling Jason again while hugging Farrah in the bed. This time the line was picked up by the other side.
• "Hello, Babe! I'm sorry I was stuck in my meetings today. I'm about to return your call. Just got out of work now. I'm heading to my parents' house for dinner tonight. How are you?" Jason excitedly reported to her without any sign of stopping.
• “I’m okay.” But she sounded not right.
• “What happened? Are you okay Babe? Speak up.” With great sincerity, Jason asked.
• After a moment of contemplating, Arabella shared the news with her boyfriend. Of course, he is her boyfriend. He needs to know everything around her, whether it's good or bad. That's what makes a perfect couple right? Honesty and Trust.
• “Okay. Calm down, Babe. I will pick you up tomorrow. I will be there in the morning.” Jason promised her to live with him in his own place.
• "Since you don't want to go home. Maybe this is the right time to arrange our engagement. How's that Babe? You start a family with me. Isn't it what we both wanted?" Jason took the opportunity to propose after all they have been together for so many years. Sure enough, his parents will stop urging him to get married. For once, this might be the right time to put a period on it.
• Upon hearing Jason's words, she was flabbergasted. Her heart was jumping for joy. She never expected that Jason would propose to her right at this very moment. He was a savior. He was the best boyfriend ever.
• Now that she wants to escape from her own parents, she might as well make a family of their own with Jason.
• "Yes! I love you, Babe!" was her only reply to him from the bottom of her heart while crying for joy.
• "See you tomorrow then. I will announce our plan to my parents tonight. I miss you, Babe! Please do not worry, I will take care of you. I cannot wait to see you. I love you, Babe. Now, please rest your mind and have a good sleep. Good night Babe!" Jason uttered with sweet sincerity.
• Jason never failed her before, and until now she doesn’t have any regrets about choosing him. He will be a perfect husband for her.
• After the call, she was immersed in a blissful fantasy.
• All her problems, annoyance, and grievances just now instantly vanished into thin air because of Jason. It’s like a tornado had passed and cleared everything on its way.
• That day, she slept with a smile and woke up with a smile. She expected Jason that day so she quickly ran for a shower and excitedly tidied up herself. Farrah was still sleeping so she just moved smoothly afraid of disturbing her.
• When her phone chimed, she was expecting the text to be from Jason. 'Maybe he is already outside.' She thought with a smile.
• She quickly grabbed a sticky note and a pen to make a note for Farrah.
• 'I'm going now with Jason!
• Please give me a call when you read this.
• Let's go shopping for my wedding gown.
• Bye and Thank you!
• Arabella'
• After writing her thank you message, she read the text, holding her luggage, ready to go out of the room, but suddenly, she stopped.
