You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 89

Arabella eyes grew big.

She couldn’t believe what she just saw.

Her surprise with Bill’s presence surpassed William’s surprise.

‘What is he doing here?’

She tried wracking her brain, but she couldn’t find an answer.

“Arabella?” William spoke that made her regained her senses.

William was still kneeling on the ground while still holding her hand.

“William, please get up now.” She said in a low voice.

“I need to know your answer.” William met her uneasy eyes.

She looked at the crowd again.

Then, she looked at Bill again and that’s the only time she noticed Mia on his side.

It seemed they just arrived and they witnessed the scene coincidentally.

Now, it was clear to her. Bill was here because of his girlfriend Mia.

Mia was the CEO of NZ Cosmetics so, it was just right that she was here to join her company’s activity with her boyfriend of course, Bill Sky.

They looked perfectly match.

Her heart instantly felt bitter inside.

The bitterness made her sad and a little bit annoyed. She didn’t know where the annoyance came from.

Is she expecting something from Bill?

Why she felt hurt?

Then, she looked at William with loving eyes for her. He patiently waited for her answer.

“Yes. William. I accept your love.” Arabella answered.

Everyone then clapped and roared with excitement. The atmosphere suddenly filled up with cheering and happy screams.

William then sweetly kissed her hand and after he stood up with a loving smile.

Arabella tried her best to put up a smile.

The decision came out all of the sudden. For her, Bill’s presence was just right. Bill witnessing her and William would might bring some advantage to her. He might put an end of his craziness and stopped playing with her. He might let go of her and get lost of her life.

She wanted him to do that.

She was afraid that her feelings for him would be deepened.

She was afraid of her expectations.

She was afraid to get hurt.

That’s right.

He should get out of her life as soon as possible.

He should spare her from his domineering manner.

He should put an end to their contract and live their life far away from each other.

In her mind, it was a good decision. Firstly, she couldn’t allow William to lose his face in front of his employees. Secondly, it’s a perfect timing for her to escape from Bill. He witnessed everything and Arabella was hoping that everything she planned would work.

As William’s friend, she planned to explain to him after. With her situation, she was not ready for romance. Her mind was preoccupied with planning on how to raise her baby. She had no time for such love life and it would be too unfair for William.

Her answer was merely to save him and herself from Bill.

She didn’t want to give a false hope to William.

She needed to talk to him immediately to avoid hurtful feelings.

“Let’s talk privately.” She whispered to him.

From the sight of the audience, she was like kissing William but in a closer look, she was just whispering something to him.

In the corner, a man was looking at the romantic scene. His calm was still there, but his eyes had already darkened.

They were dangerous.

“Shall we?” Mia’s voice appeared behind him.

They were going to sleep in the villa. Mia wasn’t fun on sleeping in the tent.

“Go ahead.” Bill simply replied.

Mia was taken aback by his words, but she suppressed it. George had called her earlier and asking her to fly back in Capital Z. Then he picked it up in the airport. When she got inside, she was surprised that Bill was already there.

She didn’t have any idea where they were going. Not even a single clue that her company held an activity outside the office. William never informed her about the activity. Only through George, she was informed.

She never dared ask Bill why he wanted to go.

He’s the best person in business so she thought there must be something about the business that he wanted to see.

The merge perhaps.

There must be something about the merge.

As for George, his boss wanted to see the activity, but the scene with William and Arabella surprised them.

William was so happy that finally Arabella had accepted him. He was overwhelmed with joy that his smile was not leaving his face.

He was very happy.

“William, let’s talk.” Arabella said it again.

He looked at her. Her face wasn’t happy. There was an uneasiness in her eyes.

William’s smile faded. This time, he felt uncomfortable. His happiness was also slowly fading.

“Shhh…” William was afraid of something. He didn’t want to hear something from her.

“I am happy that you are my girlfriend now.” William took the chance to block her.

“Should we enjoy this night as a couple now?” William added trying his best to stop her from talking.

“William.” Arabella called his name.

William didn’t look at her. He avoided her eyes.

“William.” Arabella called out again. She wanted him to listen to her, but when she saw Bill again in the corner, she stopped. Instead, she put up a sweet smile to William and held his hand.

William was surprised. He didn’t know what to think.

“Look. Your answer is final. You can’t take it anymore.” William said at her then he hugged her.

Arabella was surprised, but she couldn’t struggle in front of Bill. She hugged William too.

She already started the fake show, she would surely finish it. Seeing her hugging William, Bill would surely curse her name.

That’s right.

That’s what she wanted.

William dragged her to sit near the bone fire. Their co-employees were already there surrounding the bone fire. They sat together. William was very clingy and he put his head on her shoulder. She didn’t move nor dodge. She should play as William’s girlfriend tonight.

One of the managers played his guitar and the other sang to the tune. It was a love song that made the night filled with romance.

It was indeed romantic.

The silence went through and only the singer’s voice with her romantic song was heard.

Until Mia and Bill appeared.

All were stunned to see them except Arabella.

They all stood up and greet them. Seeing Bill, they were almost out of air.

They only saw Bill on TV and magazines. He was like a celebrity to them. Not only that, the most influential person in the business world. The most rich and handsome guy in Capital Z and worldwide.

Others couldn’t move to see him. They only sat down when Bill signed them to sit.

“Sis, you are here? Mr. Sky it’s nice to see you again” William stood up quickly and shook Bill’s hand.

“Oh… Sorry for the none notice.” Mia rolled her eyes to her brother. He seemed to use her company to express his love to Arabella.

All eyes landed with them specially to the man whose aura was so aloof to everyone. His presence made the air so cold. The relax atmosphere became uncomfortable for everyone. He was like a king to them. They were all willing to serve them and give them what he wanted. No one dared to look his eyes, but they couldn’t help admiring his mesmerizing face and sexy figure.

Mia was indeed so lucky to have him.

He’s perfect, but domineering.

Still, he’s perfect.

Mia and Bill sat together just beside William.

Arabella just greeted Mia and didn’t spare a look to Bill.

Just last night, they slept together in one bed hugging each other. This time, they had their own different partners and they were like strangers to each other.

A complete stranger.

The singer and the guitarist continue their duet with a love song. The air still freezing, but it's filled with romance once again.

Arabella couldn’t help but to sneak with Bill. Mia was hugging him. They were a perfect match. A sudden pinch in her heart made her regret her action. She shouldn’t sneak at them.

Bill was also secretly looking at her. His dark eyes were no emotion, but the calmness wasn’t there.

“William, I am tired. I am going to rest first.” Arabella felt the ambiance wasn’t good anymore for them. She wanted to escape from it. She wanted to end the night and she didn’t want to see anymore.

She didn’t want to see him with another woman perhaps.

She couldn’t just admit it.

“Are you sure? It’s just too early.” William replied with a bit worry on his face.

“Yeah. I’m a little tired. I want to rest now. Please enjoy the night and don’t leave them. Goodnight everyone.” Arabella reminded him to stay for his employees then she quickly stood up.

“Wait. You forget something.” William held her hand and said sweetly.

She knew what he wanted.

A good night kiss.

She didn’t want to do it, but when she saw Bill looking at her with a bottomless eye, she quickly kissed William on the cheek then she whispered, “Good night.”

“I love you.” William said tenderly.

Arabella just couldn’t answer it. She just smiled at him, then she turned around.

She then heaved a sigh of relief.

Everything happened so sudden.

How did she become the girlfriend of William?

They used to fake it. Before, she agreed to be his girlfriend knowing that he’s a gay. It turned out to be wrong. William was not a gay and he had feelings for her. Now she understood why William always treated him special.

It turned out to be he’s really into her.

After she escaped from the group, she went back to the bench again. She sat there absorbing everything that happened. She inhaled ample air and exhaled heavily. She was doing it again and again until she cooled down herself.

After a while, she went inside her tent. She lit up a small lamp that was hanging inside, then she fixed herself. She wore a jacket anticipating that it would be cold during the midnight. With a thick quilt, she covered her body.

She tried to sleep, but she couldn’t. The night was deep and she felt the air was getting cold. She thought everyone was already sleeping as there’s no more sound outside.

In a little while, she could hear footsteps coming to her tent. She became nervous all of a sudden.

It must be William.

William’s tent was just beside her.

She closed her eyes. She must be exaggerating things.

Vigilantly, she stopped her breathing to hear clearly outside. The footsteps had stopped, but she still felt nervous

In just a second, a brief, sharp hissing sound of her zipper could be heard. It’s moving upward. Her tent could be open outside through its zipper.

It made her chill and she was nervous to death.

This place wasn’t safe.

She got her pepper spray and acted like targeting whoever person would come inside her tent.

The zipper moved up further making her tent opened wide. Then, a man swiftly came inside. The man was wearing also a thick jacket and a sporty pants. He looked light and cool of his outfit. Arabella forgot to press the pepper spray when she saw the man inside.

Her heart had stopped beating again.

It’s none other than Bill Sky.

What was he doing here?

Inside her own tent?

Forgetting about invading her space because she was used of him, but what about William and Mia?

What about the other employees with them?

Their tents were just near to each other. Small talks could wake up someone nearby even William.

“What are you doing here?” Arabella muttered in a very low but there’s a shock in her little voice and expression.

Bill didn’t answer. He was, as usual wearing his arrogant and elegant aura.

“Why are…” Arabella uttered again, but she was cut by Bill’s kiss.

His kiss was wild and possessive.

Very possessive.

She was stunned again. She couldn’t struggle and she couldn’t afford to shout afraid of making unnecessary noise that could awaken everyone.

How could she explain it to Mia, William and everyone about Bill inside her tent?
