You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 95

They hurriedly returned to Capital Z.

He never saw Bill again for days. She complied to go back to their villa, but Bill didn’t go home. She was alone again.

The news spread out quickly. The Sky Mall C branch was located in the busy business area of Capital Z. One fourth of the area was damaged and civilians were severely hurt and 10 had died. It was a heavy blow for Sky Corporation but the next day's headlines were changed.

“Good morning, Mrs. Sky.” Security guards outside Sky Corporation bowed at her.

“Good morning, Mrs. Sky.” Another group of employees bowed at her inside the building.

“Good morning, Mrs. Sky.” The receptionists stopped their work to pay their respect to her.

Arabella was quite confused. From the security guards down to her co-employees she met, they bowed at her with the title ‘Mrs. Sky’.

What’s happening?

She frowned.

The marriage between her and Bill was not a secret, but only close people knew it. Not even in Sky Corporation.

How come people in the company were calling her Mrs. Sky?

She shook her head and went directly to the CEO’s floor.

Today, she needed to work for her reports. Too many things happened over the weekend and she still needed to contact William and apologize. She’s been trying to contact him, but he didn’t answer her. He might be very angry with her.

Without her Boss in the office, the atmosphere was peaceful, but it was not unusual for her. At this time, she realized a big comparison. With him, she always had a chill, but without him, she felt bored.

She heaved heavily and turned on her desktop, but her phone rang.

The caller was Jayson. Since she couldn’t visit him in the hospital, she tried calling him several times but his phone was off. Maybe his mom intentionally turned it off so she couldn’t contact him. Now, he called her.

He must be okay now.

Without hesitation, she quickly answered.

“Jayson. I am glad you called. How are you? Are you okay now?” Arabella cheerfully said. After being banned from visiting him, she just wanted to ask many questions. He did save her life and someday she would repay him.

“Can you come over?” Jayson’s voice wasn’t happy and a little annoyance could be traced.

Is he angry?

“Where?” Arabella replied.

“Hotel Zeus.” Jayson said.

This hotel belonged to Hansen’s Group. It’s the second biggest hotel in Capital Z next to Sky owned hotels.

“Sure, I’ll be there.” Arabella replied after Jayson had given the time. He wanted to meet her in the afternoon.

After her work, she went to Hotel Zeus.

She went directly to Jayson’s room with a packed lunch in her hand. Wanting to show her gratitude, she also brought fruits for him.

She rang the doorbell and the door opened, then Jayson appeared. When she saw Jayson in front of her, she hugged him.

“How are you? Are you okay now?” She asked with a worried expression.

Jayson hugged him tightly. It was obvious that he missed her so much.

Arabella had sensed the meaning of Jayson’s hug so she pushed him a little. “Let’s eat lunch and I brought you some fruits.” Arabella said to dodge herself from him.

Jayson then closed the door.

Arabella prepared the food on the table. They ate together, but she could feel something different from Jayson.

He’s very silent.

“Jayson are you okay?” Arabella asked with confusion in her eyes.

Jayson stood up, got a newspaper and threw it in front of her.

Arabella was like inside a maze. With a puzzled expression, “What’s this?” she asked.

“Is that the reason why you didn’t visit me in the hospital?” Jayson’s face was unpleasant. He was looking at her with disdain.

Arabella quickly picked up the newspaper. She was suddenly taken aback after she saw her face in a big image together with Bill as the headline ‘Billionaire Bill Sky and His Wife Spotted Together’.

Her eyes widened in an instant. The photo was taken at the ski resort and she was sure it was the exact photo taken by Bill.

Why did he have to expose the photo?

Is this his way of diverting people’s attention from the bombing issue?

Great!

He succeeded.

He used her to cover the issue of his company’s turmoil. Her heart clenched hard.

“So?” Jayson saw her lost in her thoughts.

“No.” Arabella replied.

“I visited you, but your….” Arabella wanted to explain but she was cut.

“You don’t need to explain. It’s enough for me to see everything.” Jayson’s voice was deep and heavy. He was clearly unsatisfied.

“Jayson. I…”

“Please leave.” Jayson’s head lowered down.

“Jayson, Thank you.” Arabella knew Jayson despised her. She had to give him time and space. With a heavy heart, she quickly stood up and slowly exited the room.

Jayson was left unhappy. He could see clearly in the picture that Arabella had a genuine smile. Her happiness was screaming in her eyes. He never saw that kind of smile when she was with him. All he wanted was her and to love her forever.

Arabella arrived in the lobby, but someone deliberately blocked her way.

“What is Mrs. Sky doing here?” Judy Hansen with her very intimidating voice sounded.

Arabella with a heavy look was stunned.

“Look at you! You are already a wife of Mr. Sky and yet you are here to seduce my son. Aren’t you ashamed of how whore you are?” Judy added vulgarly, stopping her to defend herself.

“Mrs. Hansen, I came here to thank Jayson for saving my life.” Arabella explained politely. She didn’t want to fight with her. She’s still Jayson’s mom.

“Good that you know he saved your life. Now that you are Mrs. Sky, I don’t need to remind you that you have to pay him in the future.” Judy sarcastically said while her right eyebrow went up. The title of Mrs. Sky could divide the ocean to make a way. In the future, Arabella could help Jayson in a big way.

“Don’t worry Mrs. Hansen I will.” She bowed at her and wanted to leave immediately, but Judy grabbed her arm.

“I am not finished yet.” Judy stopped her.

“You killed my grandson. You owe me something too.” Judy added with sarcasm.

Arabella looked at her. When she was with Jayson before, Judy was good to her, but she didn’t expect Judy to be so vicious.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Mrs. Hansen but I don’t owe you. I didn’t kill your grandson.” Arabella was a little irritated by Judy's words.

“You! How dare you deny it!” Judy exclaimed angrily, then she raised her hand to slap Arabella, but her palm didn’t land on Arabella's face.

Arabella was rattled but thankful to the man who saved her again.

Jayson had held Judy’s arm.

Judy was really pissed off. Her own son was defending the girl she hated the most in front of everyone.

“Jayson! What are you doing? Let go of me so I can avenge your son.” Judy shouted. She didn’t care about the people around. It was her territory and she planned to drop by to visit Jayson but coincidentally she saw Arabella.

“Mom. You stop now.” Jayson’s words carried a warning.

“Why are you defending that bitch? Are you still in love with her?” Judy asked with disdain.

Jayson didn’t move. He was also stunned by his mom’s unexpected question.

“Yes. I am still in love with her. It will not change.” Jayson answered firmly as she snapped his mom’s arm away. Then, he grabbed Arabella’s arm and dragged her away.

“Jayson!”

“Jayson, come back!”

“Jayson, don’t go with that bitch!”

“Jayson, you will regret it!”

Judy Hansen shouted with despair, but Jayson didn’t turn around.

“What are you looking at?” Judy shouted angrily at everyone who looked at her. She cursed Arabella for bewitching her son. Judy promised to open Jayson’s eyes and he would go back to Margaret. She knew Margaret loved her son a lot. As a mother, she would do anything to make it happen.

Jayson and Arabella drove away and went to the park.

Arabella looked at Jayson. He was so silent along the way.

“Jayson. Thank you again.” Arabella uttered shyly.

Hearing her, Jayson looked at her seriously. His eyes were deep like sending his sincerity to her.

“I am happy to see you again.” Jayson muttered. It wasn’t a reply to her, but a declaration.

“Are you angry with me?” She asked as she didn’t understand his actions. He ousted her earlier and then came to rescue her from his mom.

“No.” Jayson grabbed her to sit on a bench.

“Then, why did I feel you hate me?” Arabella wanted to cry as her tears assembled in her eyes.

“Shhh…It’s myself that I hate.” Jayson held her face and wiped her tears with his thumbs.

“Look. I know you are happy with Bill Sky. I should be happy too.”

“But, why can’t I?”

“Arabella my heart ached right now. It hurts to see you happy with another man.” Jayson's eyes were teary. He wanted to cry, but he was controlling it, but he was not shy of confessing his true feelings.

“Jayson.”

“Please don’t do this.”

“That picture was true, but there’s nothing on it.”

“He is just my boss. Believe me. We have nothing.”

Arabella said to pacify his grief and loneliness.

“But, Jayson, he is the father of my son. I intend to give my love and time to my son. I hope you can find your own true happiness.” She didn’t want to give false hope to him. She was always fair when it came to Jayson’s feelings.

“Do you love Bill?” Jayson asked while his serious eyes pierced into hers.

Arabella was stunned. She didn’t expect his question and she had no words to answer him.

“No.” Trying to compose herself, she answered.

Jayson smiled with full satisfaction.

“I am okay now.” Then he stood up and went to the street ice cream vendor.

Went back with two cones of ice cream and gave the other one to Arabella.

“I will wait for you.” Jayson said while eating his ice cream.

“Jayson. You don’t have to.” Arabella refuted immediately.

“I will do anything to make you love me again.” Jayson smiled like he was back to his normal demeanor.

“Jayson.” Arabella looked at him with a disagreeable expression.

Jayson looked at her. “Okay. I’m just joking.” He said and smiled at her.

Arabella smiled at him as well, feeling satisfied with his answer.

At the park, on a bench, the two chatted and finished their ice cream peacefully.

Late afternoon, Arabella went back to her office. She needed to submit the report she had made this morning. She planned to work overnight to compensate for the time she lost to see Jayson. One more thing, she had no one in the villa and might as well spent the time working in her office.

She opened her email and saw a new message.

It was an internal message sent to all employees of Sky Corporation with the subject, ‘Sky Corporation Golden Anniversary.’ All employees were mandated to join their company’s 50th anniversary. It will be held next week.

After her work, she stretched her arms, turned off her computer and exited the office.

It was already night and she didn’t bring a car since she felt tired this morning as her pregnancy symptoms struck again.

She patiently waited outside the building for her designated cab that she booked online. Until a black sports car stopped in front of her. She was stunned, but she was familiar with the car.

It’s William’s car.

Then, the window rolled down. William’s face appeared smiling.

“Hop in!” William said cheerfully.

Arabella was surprised. William wasn’t angry anymore. He was back to his normal aura.

She smiled at him and ran towards him excitedly.

“Get in!” William said again.

The time was right. She still had to apologize to him and talk to him as well.

So, Arabella got in his car, then it locked automatically.

As soon as she got in, William drove the car away furiously.

Arabella was a bit shocked.

“William. Slow down.” Arabella called his attention as she felt something unusual in the air.

His smile vanished and his expression became serious.

Then her phone rang.

It was Farrah.

She answered quickly.

“Where are you now?” Farrah wanted to talk to Arabella personally so she called.

“I’m with William.” Arabella answered.

“What???” Farrah on the other line terrifyingly screamed.
