You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 133

“Bestie, where are you? I need you now.” Farrah called on the phone and sounded like in a hurry.

“Please don’t kill me with suspense. Spit it out.” Hearing her best friend, her heart raced fast as she was worried about her.

“Please come with me. I need you to come with me.” Farrah said while still in a hurry.

“What’s happening? Where are you?” Arabella was alerted. She had no idea what Farrah is up to.

“I… I’m going to marry Gab today.” Farrah announced.

“What?” Hearing her best friend’s words, she almost choked herself with the word in her throat.

“Yes. We are going there now. Neha Shrine. Please be there. I can’t do this without you. Please Bestie.” Farrah stated with her convincing and demanding tone.

“Farrah, are you sure with your decision?” Arabella asked worriedly. She was shocked by the abrupt announcement. It was in the news that Gab Kenley is going to marry the only daughter of the Ming Family. A Chinese family with large numbers of businesses in Capital Z. The wedding will be on the next day. Realizing it, she already had an idea of what happened.

“Yes, Bestie. I am sure. I love him and I cannot lose him.” Farrah answered firmly.

She had never seen Gab after his accident. She respected that he had another woman on his side and the news that he is going to get married to the girl spread all over Capital Z. Though it’s very painful for her, Farrah was already determined to let him go but just this morning, Gab appeared outside her house.

“What are you doing here?” With a very puzzled expression, Farrah asked.

“I came here to see you.” Gab answered plainly. He had no cool. He was wearing his pajamas and a pair of house slippers with hair in a whole lot of mess.

“Why?” Farrah was surprised by his presence. She had been longing to see him and now he’s here in front of her. She wanted to hug him but she held herself. He’s going to get married soon. She kept reminding herself.

“I’m going to get married.” Gab announced. He seemed in a hurry. His expression is vigilant like someone was following him.

Farrah’s heart had felt a spang of pain from what she heard. “I… I know.” Farrah tried to compose herself not to break down.

“That’s it. I just escape to inform you.” Gab smiled bitterly and turned around to leave.

“Best wishes! I wished you a happy marriage.” The words came out from her mouth in a hurry with her heart secretly crying inside.

Gab suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked back towards Farrah.

“Should that wish come with a hug?” Gab said with sharp eyes pierced to hers.

Without waiting for Farrah’s reply, Gab walked closer to her then hugged her tightly.

It was very quick. Farrah had run out of words. She hugged him too. She was afraid she could not control herself and she will not let him go.

Then tears started rolling her eyes.

Gab looked at her. Their eyes met. They looked at each other like they were taking the chance to stare at each other for the last time.

In just a split second, Gab kissed her. The kiss was trembling as the longing for each other never dies. It lives within them. Farrah tasted the bittersweet kiss but she rather had a taste of it for one last time rather than nothing to taste at all.

The kiss deepened as no one wanted to end it for they knew once the kiss ended, they have to say goodbye to each other.

“I love you.” Gab couldn’t help to utter what’s inside his heart while kissing Farrah.

“I love you too.” Farrah answered without thinking it a lot. She was driven by his kiss and she was shocked by the words she spewed. She had kept it a long time ago to get rid of Gab but when she saw him fighting with his life, she wanted to be back in his life so badly. She wanted to be the woman on his side. The one who will take care of him but it was too late. His family had decided to marry him to a daughter with a prominent background in business.

After knowing it, she hid her true feeling for him again until today.

How could she reply with such words?

He’s going to get married the next day!

Realizing what she had done, Farrah broke the kiss and tried to free herself from him but Gab didn’t let her escape from his hug. He even hugged her tighter.

“Gab, let me go. You are getting married the next day.” Farrah’s tears started to assemble in her eyes again.

“Yeah. I’m going to get married.” Gab confirmed facing at her closely.

She felt her heart was tearing apart as she lowered her head to hide her tears.

Suddenly, Gab lifted her chin to face him.

“Farrah, Marry me.” Gab said with firmed eyes pierced to hers.

Farrah had no reaction as she didn’t want to believe what she just heard. She might just imagine things that even her ears had been triggered on hearing things that didn’t exist.

“Marry me.” Seeing the girl in his arm was stunned, Gab repeated with a more convincing tone.

“What?” Farrah was convinced that she heard him twice asking her to marry him.

“Marry me.” For the third time, Gab said it again. He was waiting for her answer seriously.

“But…what about.. Yes!” Farrah was in a mess thinking about the things around and the consequences but at this time, she will choose him.

“What?” Gab's serious face suddenly smiled hearing her.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!” Farrah answered. Today, she chose to be true to her feelings. She chose him today over everything else. If love would conquer all let it be for them.

She could not afford to lose him. She loves him and he loves her. That would be enough to support her answer.

Gab kissed her again tenderly and hugged her. She knew Gab had put himself in an awful position for her. Whatever trouble he would be into, she is sure to be in that trouble with him. She would not leave him.

Gab quickly lifted her like a princess and put her hurriedly in the car.

“Wait! Where are we going?” Farrah asked puzzled.

“To the church.” Gab smiled and started the engine.

“Wait. What?” Farrah was shocked. She was just wearing her workout clothes.

“Sorry, if I put you in this kind of situation but I don’t have time.” Gab said with a pleading expression. His parents’ men would probably trace him sooner, they should hurry.

“I don’t mind wearing my sports bra at my wedding.” She put a joke to lighten up Gab’s expression. She knew what he was up to. She felt satisfied seeing Gab smiled while focusing on the road. He grabbed her hand and locked their fingers together.

She felt satisfaction and happiness with him. She knew life would never be perfect but as long as they love each other, they will handle hardships perfectly.

“Oh. Sorry bestie but I have to bother you on something.” Farrah suddenly remembered. Good thing Arabella still didn’t hang up the phone.

“What is it?” Arabella asked quickly.

“Please bring me a white dress. Please hurry.” Farrah almost forgot her dress. She could not wear a sports bra at her wedding.

“Okay got it.” Arabella quickly answered. Now, Arabella had no reason not to show- up at Farrah’s wedding. She could not be absent as she’s her best friend.

She was relieved to hear the good news. Finally, Farrah would be tying the knot to the person she loves the most. Arabella knew, how much Farrah loves Gab. The wedding should continue no matter what. Realizing the time, she should move quickly for her best friend’s happiness.

It’s a good thing, Damien arrived earlier. Since the two boys were catching up with each other, she felt like an outsider.

Earlier,

“Damien.” She uttered with full of surprise after opening the door. Damien was outside smiling at her like nothing had happened.

“Where have you been?” She was very worried about him as he didn’t reach her through any means of communication.

“I am okay.” Damien answered with a full smile and suddenly hugged Arabella.

She was stunned for a bit as he seemed to be different when he’s waiting for her outside that night. He seemed to be really okay. Well, that’s fine. Seeing him okay would make her feel free from any guilt and worries she had.

“Okay, come inside now. Adam will be very excited to see you.” Arabella was the first to break the hug. She opened the door wide and welcomed her guest with a bright smile. She was happy to see Damien again. She thought he will never want to see her again after that night. She thought he would be disgusted with her.

Damien went inside directly to the dining table.

Arabella smiled as she quickly moved to serve him breakfast.

“Uncle Damien!” Adam sounded from behind. He was so excited to see Damien again that he jumped to hug him.

“You are getting so heavy little buddy.” Damien said jokingly.

“But I am still the most handsome, right Uncle Damien?” Adam replied proudly.

“Okay. I surrender my case because you are the man!” Damien replied to Adam and started tickling him.

Adam couldn’t stop laughing and running around to avoid his Uncle Damien’s ticklish hands.

“Okay, the food is ready. Let’s eat now.” Arabella announced seeing the two were making her living room a playground.

After eating, Adam excused himself to take a bath. Uncle Damien promised him to watch a basketball game.

“Bella” Damien called her name. He was sitting in front of her.

“Hmmm..” She looked at Damien.

“May I hold your hand?” Damien asked.

Arabella frowned and was puzzled but she wanted to know what Damien is up to. She gave her hand to him. Then Damien held it and massaged it a bit. After, he put the ring on her finger again.

“Damien.” Arabella quickly took out her hand as she refused his gesture.

“Pls. don’t take it off.”

“I know that you break up with me. Please just for the sake of our friendship. Wear that ring as a souvenir. Will you?” Damien smiled at her. He seemed the type of person who didn’t hold grudges.

Arabella looked at the ring on her finger. Damien’s intention was not bad at all. For everything he did to them but she only returned him pain. If wearing the ring would suffice the pain she had given to him, then she will wear the ring gladly.

“If this will make you happy. I will wear this. Thank you for the gift. The gift of friendship.” Arabella smiled purely while expressing her gratitude.

Hearing her, Damien quickly stood up and kissed her on the forehead. She really wanted to dodge but she held her position. She didn’t want to add another injury to Damien.

After Adam took a bath, the two went out.

Arabella’s cab arrived at Neha Shrine. It was like a private shrine located inside a big private compound. It’s not too big but could be sized up as medium.

She walked quickly inside to search for Farrah and to give her a white dress. Since it’s her best friend’s wedding, she planned to make her fab and beautiful. Farrah deserves it even if it’s the most rush wedding of the century.

When she reached inside, she could not find Farrah. She frowned as there’s no one inside.

She was then worried that she might mishear Farrah a while ago. She was about to call her but she felt someone behind her.

She quickly turned around to see the man who she never wanted to see again in her entire life. That was the only time she realized that he was present at his cousin’s wedding.

She wanted to run away and she felt her spirit had already run away from her body.

Standing proud, she gathered herself. She’s there for Farrah not for him. Then she walked and find Farrah in every corner of the chapel but there’s none and she was only left with a monster.
