You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife

Chapter 149: Her Only Hope

Earlier,

“Bill I am so happy that finally, we are going to get married.” Trishia was expressing her sweetness to

their parents in the dining.

Bill didn’t reply and continued his eating.

“Finally, Kelly, Ed would be happy that his son would be settled with my daughter.” Sen. Meyer gladly

announced remembering Ed Sky.

“Absolutely,” Kelly answered with elegance and satisfaction in her tone. "I think 1 week of preparation is

enough for the wedding," Kelly added. She wanted it to be done right away before her son's mind

would change.

“That would be great! Cheers?” Senator Meyer raised his glass. His wife, Kelly, and Trishia raised their

glass as well but Bill was unmoved.

“Bill,” Kelly called out his attention softly.

That was the only time he raised his head and took his glass to join them.

After, “Bill, may I have time with you alone?” Trishia asked Bill sweetly in front of their parents. She

purposely took the advantage to ask him as she knew he would not refuse her in front of his mom.

“Go ahead, son. Have time with Trishia.” Kelly nodded agreeing with Trishia.

“Excuse me,” Bill muttered to everyone then stood up and exited the dining.

Bill walked into the garden to get some fresh air. Trisha was behind him chasing his big strides.

“Wait Bill, I am wearing a stiletto,” Trisha exclaimed as she had difficulty walking on the cobblestone

aisle with her high heels. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Bill stopped and Trisha was so happy that she ran and hugged his behind.

“Bill, I’m so happy that I am gonna be your wife soon,” Trisha muttered in her best sweet tone.

Bill took off her hand from his body then he turned around to face her.

“Turn down the marriage,” Bill ordered in a serious tone looking at Trishia’s eyes.

“No Bill! I will marry you no matter what.” Trishia strongly refuted while she hugged him again.

“Marriage is not my thing.” Bill declared with a deep voice.

“Bill, we can work it out. Just give me a chance. I will be a good wife and good mother to Adam. Okay?”

Trishia’s eyes became teary as she was pleading at him.

"I can't marry you. Turn it down or you're gonna suffer. pick your choice." Bill took her hand away from

his body then quickly strode away. Trishia was left laughing bitterly while her tears came out quickly.

'You are only mine, Bill. Our marriage will proceed as planned. Only you could be my husband.' Trishia

muttered in the air convincing herself to calm down before she went back to their parents.

At Bill's mansion,

"Let's have a divorce."

Of course, Arabella was happy with his approach. It was just so sudden and she didn’t expect that

finally, she would free herself from him.

She was speechless for a while.

“Sure!” She tried her best to give him a quick answer to his offer in a cool and satisfied manner.

After 6 years, her title as Mrs. Sky would be omitted from her name. That was a piece of happy news.

She could finally walk around without Bill’s name on her.

“Don’t be too happy. Let’s have a divorce only if…” Bill intentionally cut his statement to give her more

suspense.

“Only if? What?” Arabella’s impatient voice resonated in the living room.

“Only if you sleep with me tonight.” He continued with his condition.

“Damn you!” She cursed as she was hoping for a good proposal from him. She thought he was serious

about it.

“Why are you so angry?” He smirked while releasing his devilish playful smile.

“Don’t smile at me. I am angry with you.” She scolded him as she could not help admiring her playful

smile secretly. It was like it had magic that could captivate her even if she was extremely angry with

him.

“Are you already in love with my smile?” Bill rested his forehead on hers while holding her two wrists.

Arabella was sitting on his lap and she was rooted in her position.

“No! In your dream!” She refuted while her lips were already shivering as his lips were just an inch

closer to hers.

“Stop this right now! I need to find my son.” Getting rid of the tingling sensations that were made by

him, she scolded him with an irritating tone.

Bill looked at the cold girl who was obviously avoiding him.

How could she while he was so eager to be with her?

Her smell and presence made him so hard. He knew she could feel it but she was so aloof at him. She

was not the same Arabella he had before.

“About Adam…” He became serious while releasing her wrists.

Arabella was all ears to him as she heard her son’s name that she didn’t notice that she was still sitting

on his lap.

“My mom brought Adam abroad.” He talked in a deep voice.

“What?” Arabella screamed while her eyebrows furrowed in the middle. She couldn’t believe that Kelly

had done that. She had so many objections to the situation and was very sorry for her son. Adam must

be very scared right now and traumatized. She still believed that even their blood was with Adam but

they still have no right to touch him. Where are they when she needed them? Kelly cursed her and Bill

did everything to make her life a living hell.

“You! If you didn’t get Adam, he’s just with me right now!” She became hysterical again. Her tears

automatically ran down while blaming him.

“Shhh…My mother will not do anything harmful to him.” Bill hugged her but she refused to be in his

embrace. He might be right but she was against the idea of Kelly.

“I will get Adam.” He muttered with a sincere tone.

“I don’t know Bill. All I know is that you just want to kill me.” She looked at him coldly.

“Yeah!” Bill nodded with serious eyes pierced to hers. “I really want to kill you right now.” He added not

leaving her beautiful face.

Hearing him, she panicked as cold sweats started to come out from her body. She didn’t know how to

react.

‘You can’t die now Arabella. You still have to save Adam.’ She thought. ‘Run! Run now!’ Scared for her

life, she quickly stood up and was about to run but all the lights had turned off. Darkness instantly

invaded the whole mansion. Arabella froze, she was afraid of the dark. Her heartbeat suddenly

thumped so fast.

“Running again?” Bill sounded behind her in the dark. She shivered and she didn’t know why his

presence always rocked her.

“I’m going out now. I need to see Adam.” She strongly refused to be scared as she strode finding her

way out of the huge house but Bill suddenly hugged her from behind.

She froze.

“Don’t move.” He whispered.

She didn’t move and didn’t say anything but her mind was vigilant.

“Are you going to kill me tonight?” She asked holding her fright but deep inside she was already

trembling. This man was a murderer. He murdered her father and he almost killed her. How could she

not go frantic at this kind of situation? She was in his place and at this moment, he could easily kill her.

“I will kill you only if you allow me.” Bill’s voice was deep but what made her spikes rose was his lips

started brushing her earlobe and the worst was she could feel his hard behind her.

She didn’t know what to do as she moved forward focusing on her main goal to get out of the house.

From the monster’s dungeon.

“Please open the light.” She demanded. It’s unbelievable that the richest man’s house had no electric

power.

“I can’t. I don’t know what happened.” He reasoned out lazily.

“Just like we stranded on the elevator? Arabella remembered it clearly. She had a strong feeling that

day that he arranged it all.

“Hmmm… I admit it.” Bill replied with a playful smirk.

“So, you saw me before?” She frowned.

“Yeah.” He replied plainly.

“You saw me with Adam.” She wanted to conclude and find the answer to her question. How did he

know about Adam?

“Yeah.” He answered briefly.

She didn’t talk anymore as his hands on her waist tightened.

“What are you doing?” She asked feeling his every movement.

He didn’t answer. The air filled with silence as she waited for his answer.

“I miss you.” He whispered. Those words were only merely for her.

“What are you saying?” Her voice was tough. Bill's words were sweet to every woman’s ear but it was

not to her.

Bill didn’t reply and silence had taken the air again.

“Please stay.” That’s the only time he begged for a woman and Arabella was stunned. This

domineering man knew how to plead.

“What are you up to right now?” She scolded him. After what he had done to her, how could she still

believe him?

“I’m tired and it's dangerous outside,” Bill explained. How could she go home at this time?

“I will book a cab online.” She then remembered her phone. Yeah! Why she didn’t remember it earlier?

She found hope. She could also ask Damien and Lira to come over in the worst scenario but to her

dismay, her cellphone suddenly had no network and signal.

‘Sh*t!’ She cursed in her mind. It was her only hope that she could get out of his house.

“Bill!” She shouted pulling herself away from his hug.

“What did I do?” He asked innocently.

“Enough playing with me. I have to save my son.” She yelled as she knew it was all his doings.

Billionaire's craft. Amazing but annoying!

“Look! Adam is abroad. What are you going to do tonight? Stay. I will bring Adam here tomorrow.” That

was long coming from Bill. Arabella was rooted on her spot. He was right and yes, she was willing to

stay for Adam. How could she fight with Kelly? If she would persist, Kelly would just make it worst for

her to see Adam. As of now, even if she hated to admit it, her only hope was Bill again. He could only

be the one to handle his mom.

The night was getting late and the air was getting colder.

“How can I trust your words?” She asked but her eyes had glow hearing Adam.

“You don’t need to trust me but you don’t have a choice.” He answered with a playful voice.

His words made her heart calm. He was right again.

‘Expect Arabella but not too much.’

‘Trust but not too much.’

‘Remember who he is.’

Arabella kept on reminding herself as she walked back to sit on the sofa near her.

“Now, shall we go to the room and rest?” Bill asked tiringly.

"Where's your guestroom? I can walk there on my own." Her cold voice sounded.

“ And how can we walk without lights?” She smocked at him. She suddenly felt tired when he

mentioned the word room.

“Don’t worry. This is my house. I can guide you walk.” Bill held her delicate hand. She followed him. His

mansion was large and she was not familiar with it but he was very good at walking without any light in

his place.

“Where is your guestroom?” She asked with a forced expression. If it's not for Adam, she would not

play with his tricks.

“Just follow me. I will guide you there.” Holding her hand, he muttered. Arabella followed all the way to

the second floor.

Then he pushed her inside a room.

“I can manage here. You can go out now.” Arabella ordered with no gratefulness in her voice but Bill

didn’t move out instead, he closed the door with the two of them inside.

“What are you doing?” She scolded him. Her voice was almost deafening in one’s ears.

“I’m going to sleep here. It’s my room.” He strode to the bathroom.

“Bill, don’t turn your back on me. I told you to take me to the guest room.” She strode towards him

angrily and snatched his arm.

“What? You want to join me for a shower?” Bill playfully asked.

“Pervert!” She yelled and released his arm.

Then she walked back to the door and tried to open it. She couldn’t open it even how hard she tried. It

seemed everything was a trap for her.

She was pissed off but she tried to calm her mind. For Adam, she had to endure being with him but she

had to be smart. Smarter than ever. That’s the only thing she could survive from Bill.

She sat on the sofa thinking about Adam but after a while, the door of the bathroom opened slightly.

"Give me a towel." Bill's sexy voice suddenly echoed in the dark.
