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

Chapter 403: Ex-Wife

“What… what are you talking about? I’m… I don’t know what you are saying! Hmph!” Greta hissed but

it was too late.

Arabella did see her first reaction but as expected Greta would deny it.

“What’s happening here? Why are you here again?” Arabella was about to say something but someone

interrupted the scene.

Arabella and Greta quickly turned around to face the owner of the voice.

“Oh! Madame, you’re here,” Greta was very quick to approach Trishia Meyer.

Her expression was delighted like she was saved by heaven from falling to hell.

The fat woman rolled her eyes at Arabella.

Then she also respectfully bowed down to the man who was standing dignifying behind Trishia.

Arabella just looked at Bill Sky who was wearing a questioning expression at her.

He seemed to wonder why she was there after she walked away from him last night.

After he stopped her but then she still went away.

Arabella met his eyes.

She understood her situation now and she was eager to get that evidence for Bill Sky.

Now that she had the lead, she would start on it though she still didn’t have an ironed plan.

“Madame, that woman, she stormed here inside very angry at me because I told her that you and Mr.

Sky are having a pre-honeymoon. She got jealous and screamed at me angrily.” Greta was not yet

done. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

She pointed to Arabella as if she was like a stubborn kid who wanted to seek revenge by using her

parents.

“How dare you bullied our servant here, Arabella? It’s early in the morning and you are already making

a fuss. What do you want now? Ah… I know, you still didn’t want to give up, aren’t you? You are here to

force Bill to believe you. Aren’t you tired of forcing yourself on my sweetheart but he always rejected

you because he would never choose you? He will always choose me!” Trishia screamed with her

boiling anger.

Just seeing Arabella made her day already ruined.

“Trishia, don’t overreact.” Arabella quickly retorted. “Your servant here was exaggerating. I am asking

her for coffee.” Arabella could not just reveal Greta’s identity.

She was sure that Trishia would just cover up and she wasn’t sure if Bill would believe her too.

For as long as he believed that Trishia was his savior, there was no way, she would risk what she had

in hand.

Also, with Greta’s attitude, Arabella could not deny, that Greta was good at manipulating and stitching

stories.

Arabella had to know what’s Mark’s motive for sending Greta inside Bill’s home.

She could not explain but everything for her was unclear.

The good vibe she felt about Mark quickly disappeared.

Now, she understood Bill’s warning.

It seemed she was wrong with her judgment and Bill was right.

She was deceived by Mark’s cool vibe toward her.

“That’s not true, Madame. She was here scolding me for no reason after she heard that you are

together with Mr. Sky.” The voice of Greta quickly snapped Arabella back to her senses.

Greta was very eager to put Arabella down.

“You!...” Trishia was about to scold Arabella.

“No!...” Arabella sounded at the same time as Trishia denying Greta’s words but they were cut.

“Stop!” Bill’s powerful voice suddenly butted in.

He seemed pissed with the noise in his surroundings.

Hearing him, everyone trembled in fright. Greta bowed down afraid to see her boss’s scorching eyes.

Trishia jolted clenching her fists to stabilize herself.

Arabella stood rooted on her spot.

“Greta…” Bill sounded calm but there was something in his tone that could make the person hearing

him uneasy.

Hearing her name, Greta’s head slowly went up. It was obvious that her body was trembling.

She looked up but avoided Bill’s eyes.

“Can you tell me who are you here?” Bill’s tone was sarcastic.

Greta quickly looked at Trishia with a pleading expression.

She was obviously asking for her rescue but Trishia bowed down.

It seemed that Trishia didn’t want to meddle with the situation, especially with Bill Sky.

“Ahhh… Mr. Sky… I’m a … a servant.” Greta staggered giving her answer then she bowed down again

trying to avoid Bill’s sharp stare.

“A servant… That’s what you are… a servant.” Bill blurted out emphasizing every word as he strode

forward. “You should know your place as a servant.” Bill stopped in front of Greta who was still standing

with a low head and shoulders. “And you serve everyone in this house, including my ex-wife. Do you

understand?” Using his index finger Bill lifted Greta’s chin to face him.

Greta trembled. She was shaking tremendously as her eyes were caught by his dangerous eyes.

“Yes sir… Yes, Mr. Sky! Yes, Mr. Sky… I understand.” Greta quickly answered nodding repeatedly.

It was known to everyone that, Arabella was the ex-wife of the big boss but then, Trishia used Greta to

brainwash the other servants about her bad reputation and the reason why she was staying in their

place was that she was forcing herself on Bill.

All the people there didn’t like Arabella because of the rumors but then today, Bill made clear to

everyone about serving Arabella Jones, his ex-wife.

It came from the big boss’ mouth that he claimed her as his ex-wife and that alone was scary if not

followed.

“That’s good, Greta…” Bill nodded repeatedly like he was very convinced.

Then, he strode passed her but stop just a meter away then turned around, “But… you need to pack

your bag because you are fired!” Bill sounded calm but in a deep tone.

He was like a strict judge giving a final verdict to a guilty person.

No one could contest or question his words.

Then, without minding his surroundings’ reaction, he went up leaving everyone in shock.

Even Arabella was shocked because of his quick decision.

As for now, she didn’t want the exit of Greta as she had the evidence she wanted.

She had to take it first before Greta could go.

“Madame, please help me… please help me…” Greta quickly knelt in front of Trishia.

“You are so stupid, Greta! Look what made you to yourself!” Trishia roared at Greta. “You should not

make a story like that. Don’t you know that girl is with us last night? Bill caught you lying. How can I

defend you, huh?” Trishia was very pissed.

“But… madame, I didn’t know… That’s the only thing I can think of to slander her… I did it for you

madame so will be happy for me.” Greta defended herself.

“But you are so brainless… not if Bill was involved. Grrr… you are so stupid. How can I defend you?

Everyone knows that his words were final. I cannot amend it and you should know that!” Trishia knew a

lot. She could not risk her relationship with Bill because of Greta. She would never do that for a servant

especially since her wedding with Bill was coming. She could not risk everything for Greta, a lowly

servant.

Greta was at a loss.

Her shoulders and head dropped down like she felt hopeless.

Trishia would not help her because it was clear that she was afraid of him.

“Now get out of my way. Oh, please... I’m so tired. I want to rest. Your service with me already ends.

Goodbye, Greta!” Trishia was about to pass Greta but she caught Trishia’s leg. Greta hugged Trishia’s

leg stopping her to walk away. “Madame, please don’t give up on me. I promise I will improve my

service for you. I will do anything that you wanted. I just can’t lose this job, Please, madame. I will do

anything that you wanted. Please don’t leave me like this.” The fat annoying Greta was now pleading to

the lowest form.

She was kneeling on the ground while she was hugging the leg of her boss and begged a lot.

It was unusual to everyone as she was very boastful and arrogant always because of her size and

because of her connection with Trishia.

Now she was the lowest servant who was just fired and asking for help with whom she trusted but she

was rejected by Trishia this time.

“How many times do I have to tell you that I cannot do anything? Huh? Get out of the house now!

That’s what you have to do before the guards will pick you up here.” Trishia’s eyeballs were already

bulging because of her annoyance. “Now, stop hugging my leg because even if you will hug my leg the

whole day, I can’t help you, Greta. Do you understand? I can’t help you!” Trishia was irked a lot as she

sounded impatient.

Everyone was there witnessing the scene.

Some servants wanted her to be fired but some also pitied her.

“I can help you, Greta.” Suddenly, someone butted in.

Greta quickly looked up to see the owner of the voice.

Trishia also looked at Arabella as she smirked mockingly.

Trishia folded her arms in front of her as she looked at Arabella with her eyebrow curled upward.

Obviously, she was looking down on her.

Greta looked at Arabella with a questioning look.

Without waiting for anyone’s reaction, Arabella went away.

She didn’t care about Greta but she wanted the evidence.

Arabella would talk to Bill but she couldn’t say she was confident enough after what happened last

night.

The way he looked at her earlier, it seemed he wanted an explanation from her about her sudden

appearance in his house again.

Arabella stopped in front of a door.

She was anticipating and mustering her courage to talk to him again.

Arabella clenched her fists to gather more of her wits and courage then she knocked on the door.

Bill didn’t answer.

It seemed that he didn’t want to talk to someone but she didn’t care.

When did she obey him?

She clenched her fist again and this time it was harder.

She held the doorknob and then tried to open the door.

Surprisingly, it was open. Bill didn’t lock the door of his study room.

When she entered the room, her eyes immediately landed on her target.

Bill was already sitting on his working chair.

He was already working even after a 4 long hour's drive.

She could say this man was unbelievable.

“Ahem!” She sounded to interrupt him but she failed.

Bill didn’t look at her.

“Ahem!!!” She did it again. This time, it was harder and louder but still, she didn’t get his attention.

Bill’s head was down as he was reading some papers on his table. He didn’t bother to look up to see

her.

Arabella sensed something from him.

If she was not mistaken, this man knew that she was the person who was standing in front of him.

He seemed to hold grudges against her.

Arabella gritted her teeth to control her temper and she needed a lot of patience, especially when

dealing with him.

“Bill, can we talk? Please… this is about, Greta.” Arabella didn’t have a choice but to call his name so

he was aware that she was there to talk to him but Bill still didn’t move an inch to face her.

It irked Arabella. She already called his name but he didn’t mind her and it seemed he didn’t have any

plan to mind her.

Arabella didn’t have so much time on her hand.

She had to try everything and Bill was always challenging to her.

Striding closer to his desk, Arabella quickly got the paper he was reading on the table.

She was kind of nervous doing this but she mustered more of her courage to disrupt Bill.

Well, she was successful but she seemed to put herself in great danger.

Bill looked at her with the sharpest eyes she saw.

His eyes seemed to want to eat her alive and whole.

She instantly regretted what she had done but it was too late. Bill quickly stood up and grabbed her

arm.

His grip was very tight and it pained her. He looked at her coldly and she could tell he was very angry.

“Why are you here?” He asked dangerously.

“Bill… I...” She didn’t know what to say. It was impulsive for her to come back that quick but for her, it

was a matter of time.

She could not also tell him the real reason and about Mark and Greta for now.

“What, Arabella? What?” Bill cut her angrily. “Are you playing with me? Do you really think that you can

come in and out of my life that easily? Huh?!” Bill was enraged as his grip tightened.

“Bill, I’m here to stay. You gave me 3 days, Bill. It’s just the 2nd day. I still have my chances.” Arabella

replied using all her wits. “Can I stay?” She asked a bit hesitant and afraid of his reaction.

Suddenly, Bill dragged her and pushed her against the wall.

His body pressed her against the wall. Their faces were very closed as she met his furious eyes.

He seemed to study her keenly and her motives for going back.

"Tell me why? The real reason why you came back?" He hissed with sharp eyes fixed on her.

"Because... I don't want to miss the chance that I can get you back and make you love me again."

Arabella answered with all of her heart.

Bill looked at her sharper.

"Why do I believe you this time?" He asked.

Arabella had no words for him. She could not answer his question but she had one in her heart.

Suddenly, she tiptoed and wrapped Bill's neck with her arms around.

Without any moment of delay and hesitation, she kissed him.

Arabella kissed him and made him feel what was inside her heart.

It was the answer to his question.
