You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 96

“Bestie, you are in danger! Calm down. Do not react and pretend that we are talking about something funny. Do not make William have any suspicion. You must be calm whatever I am going to tell you. Okay?” Farrah didn’t know how to start and how to save her friend.

With a sudden vehement fear, Arabella sneaked at William who was very focused on the road. She couldn’t believe what Farrah had said.

How could William become dangerous?

Maybe he was just angry with her because of her relationship with Bill, but it never came to her mind that William would be dangerous. She knew him, William was as gentle as a lamb that could not even kill a fly.

Farrah must be mistaken but she knew too that Farrah would not react like this if there was nothing.

“Okay.” Arabella was nervous already. She knew something was not right with Farrah’s shaky voice.

“Of course, Count me in. I will attend your birthday party. Give me the details.” Arabella added loudly enough for William to hear it but her heart was already racing so fast.

“Bestie, when I saw William in your house. I wanted to warn you, but I am not so sure of it. Now, I confirmed that he was the same person. He was the boyfriend of my housemate five years ago.”

“Anna, she suffered from his possessiveness. To get rid of him, Anna had to deal with her classmate to pretend to be her boyfriend. After that, Anna went home full of bruises. I was there, I cured her bruises.” Farrah was crying already. It’s been a long time and she thought she forgot it already.

“Then the next day, Darren was found dead inside the school and Anna went missing. Nobody could point to William because of lack of evidence, but I know in my heart, he was the evil one.” Farrah wailed.

“Bestie, you have to find a way to get rid of him now. I know, he had done those evil things.” Farrah had been already hysterical.

“Okay. I got it.” Arabella clenched her fists. The horrifying news made her want to jump out of the car immediately, but she couldn’t do it. She and her baby seemed to be in danger again. She sneaked at the man she used to admire.

“William, thank you for the ride.” Gathering her wits, she tried to lighten up the atmosphere and hide her fear. Being rattled would not help. If the allegations of Farrah were true, she needed to be smart to protect her baby.

William looked at her and smiled.

Without replying, he gassed up and the vehicle swiftly ran like they were already flying.

“William you are giving me a fright. Are you, okay? Arabella said coolly, but she was already panicking inside.

On the other hand, Farrah was in panic. Her mind was with Arabella. She blamed herself for not giving Arabella a warning when she had suspected William. She wasn’t sure at that time and since William was Arabella’s boss, she didn’t want to be mistaken. Today, the investigator she hired to dig up the past case called up and reported to her about the case that happened years ago. It was him, William Zimmer, the boyfriend of Anna Hanson, her housemate when she studied abroad. She was not so close to Anna because she was always with William at that time, but when she went home with bruises, Anna secretly told her that her boyfriend did it because of jealousy. No one accused William but in Farrah’s eyes, it’s William, who did the evil doings.

Now that her friend was in danger, she had to do something to save her. She took out her cell phone again and dialed Gab.

The phone rang three times before it was answered.

“You called?” Gab’s tone wasn’t happy.

“I am sorry to disturb you.” Farrah staggered. They had been separated for months and she avoided him. She didn’t answer his calls and now, she had to call him. How weird!

“What is it?” Gab asked with no emotion in his tone.

“I need your help.” Farrah didn’t want to talk to him, but for the sake of Arabella, she dared to contact Gab and asked for help.

“What about?” Gab simply replied.

“Arabella is in danger. Please help me find her and save her.” Farrah’s heartbeat raced fast when she mentioned her best friend.

“Where are you? I will come to get you.” Gab replied quickly.

“I am in the office now.” Farrah answered.

“I’m on my way.” Gab ended the call. He texted a message, then exited his house.

Farrah prayed that her best friend would be safe and that she was just exaggerating things.

“William, slow down please. This is not the way to my house.” Arabella’s voice was shaking. She tried to control it, but she couldn’t withstand to remain relaxed.

“You are not going home tonight. Not anymore. You are going to live with me from now on.” William said while furiously driving. Their vehicle was already flying at the fastest speed.

“William, stop joking.” Arabella smiled, trying her best to treat him as their usual, but her heart was already racing and her body started to soften.

“William, we still have NZ Cosmetics to manage and we still have many team buildings to make. Let’s not die tonight, okay?” She delivered her speech like a joke. This was how they usually talk. Maybe it could help clear his mind.

William suddenly stopped the car with a screeching sound.

Arabella had felt satisfied. She knew it, William would listen to her. They were friends and maybe he was just mistaken by Farrah.

William looked at her seriously.

“I am sorry, but I have to do this.” William said then with a handkerchief in his hand, he quickly covered Arabella’s nose. She struggled, but just for a while, then she completely lost consciousness.

“In this lifetime, you are only mine.”

“Your home is with me.”

“We will live happily together.”

“Just you and me.”

William gravely said in front of the unconscious girl on her seat. Then, he started the engine again and drove away.

Arabella woke up with dizziness in a strange room. Immediately, she felt panicked as she remembered what happened in the car. She just hoped everything was just a dream.

A bad dream it may but it’s still a dream so, it’s okay.

She quickly pinched her arm to check if she was right.

“Ouch!” It hurts!

She then held her breath and heaved heavily. She was sweating as her anxiety came out quickly. Realizing that everything was real, her heart was clenched. Not only was she scared and nervous, but she felt broken-hearted. She had high expectations with her friendship with William. The memories they shared together flashed across her mind.

She met him in the elevator and she couldn’t help admiring his cuteness. His face was gentle and had a cool fashion sense. She even mistaken him as a gay. They had lots of common traits that’s why she quickly became close to William. She even met his family and they had a good time working together in his company. He was her boss and a good reliable friend at the same time.
