You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 147

Earlier,

“Mom, you gotta help me” Trishia was crying on the phone seeking pity from Bill’s mom.

“Shhh… calm down. Sooner my son will realize that you are the one for him.” As expected, Trishia got Kelly’s sympathy.

“But mom, that woman was a scheming one. I am afraid that Bill would fall into her trap.” Trishia replied with a pitying tone.

“My good reputation was already ruined but for Bill, it doesn’t matter to me. I am willing to give up my career for him.” Trishia added emphasizing her every word. She wanted to plant in Kelly's mind that she loved her son very much and would do everything for him.

Hearing Trishia, Kelly’s heart was successfully captured.

“Bill had a son with her. Are you willing to accept it?” Kelly directly told her and she was hoping for a positive reply from Trishia. There's no use in hiding Bill's personal matter as Trishia was his fiancee. She should know all about her son.

On the other line, Trishia almost dropped her phone. She was shocked for a while. It was a surprise to her but a bad surprise. She was angry at the same time threatened by the news.

“Trishia are you there?” Kelly asked worriedly.

Trishia regained her senses. “I can!... I can be Bill’s wife and at the same time be his son’s mother.” She quickly answered scared losing her opportunity and help from Kelly but at the back of her mind, she could not accept Arabella's son let alone take care of him.

“That’s good to hear Trishia.” Kelly was pacified. “Now, let’s go and talk to my son.” She added with full of compassion in her voice.

“See you mom.” Trishia’s vigor was back after hearing Kelly. She was excited to see Bill again.

When they came inside his office, her excitement had turned into her great nightmare. She wasn’t expecting an intimate scene would welcome them. Bill was kissing and embracing Arabella passionately. Trishia wanted to explode but she held it as she could not ruin her lovable and sweet reputation in front of Bill and Kelly. She wanted to drag Arabella’s hair and pushed her from the highest floor of the building. She wanted to humiliate her in front of the big crowd then after, throw her into the ocean that no one can find her body. Her identity would be erased and be forgotten. That would only satisfy her anger at that time.

“Let me go!” Arabella snatched back her arm but Bill’s grip was stronger than her.

“I thought you want to see your son,” Bill replied looking into her eyes.

Hearing about her son, Arabella gained her calm then Bill took off his hand on her wrist. Inside the elevator, she looked at the man and saw his cheek was still red due to his mom’s slap. She wasn’t expected that he would save her in front of his mom.

“Why did you do that?” She asked as she didn’t want to feel guilty. She didn’t want him to save her and owed him.

Bill didn’t answer. He didn’t move nor change his expression.

Without his reply, she kept her silence. Then the air became freezing by the two cold hearts inside. They reached the parking lot. Without forcing her, she chased his long strides. This time, she was afraid that he would leave her.

Bill sat directly in the driver’s seat and Arabella followed in the passenger’s seat. He started the engine and drove away. Inside, there was no talking. Only their breathing could be heard. Bill’s eyes were seriously focused on the road. Arabella had only one person in mind, Adam. She already made a plan. After seeing Adam, they would escape from him.

She never wanted him to be part of their life.

They didn’t need him.

The silence in the car was disturbed when Arabella’s phone rang.

It was Damien. She forgot him. She knew he was worried about her now as they agreed to update each other. He was also finding Adam but he didn’t know that she went for Bill as she knew he would not agree to her.

“Damien.” She answered quickly.

Hearing his name, Bill’s head moved. He looked at her but Arabella was unaffected as she averted her gaze outside and continued talking to Damien.

“Where are you?” Damien worriedly asked.

“I already found Adam. Sorry for the late update.” She was guilty of not remembering the people who helped her to find Adam due to some surprises she went through earlier and still she had to be with the person who kidnapped her son.

“What great news! Is he okay? Where are you guys now? I will pick you up.” Damien’s tone was satisfied and excited.

Arabella could not find her words. They seemed to be stuck in her throat.

“Don’t worry. We will go home fast just wait for us there.” After gathering her wits, she managed to answer him. Her eyes were fixated outside but she could feel a scorching stare at her from the man on the driver’s seat.

“Okay, then I will call the cops and everyone now that Adam was already found. Have a safe back home. I will wait for you and Adam.” Damien replied sweetly.

“Thank you, Damien.” She uttered with sincerity then hung up the phone.

She kept her phone back in her pocket and looked at the man beside her. He was now focusing on his driving again. Then her eyes landed on his cheek. It was like an eyesore seeing his smooth white skin had a red big palm mark. She did say thank you to Damien but she didn’t thank Bill for saving her from his mom.

She had no plan at all. It was nothing for her compared to what he did to her 6 years ago.

The silence filled the air again. This time the atmosphere became hot as the two hearts had grudges for each other. They were trying to calm down but it seemed to be calm was not their forte especially whenever they were together.

In the next second, Bill’s phone rang.

Bill quickly answered it.

“Speak up,” Bill ordered.

“Sir, your son…” The man on the phone staggered.

“What about him? Speak up!” Bill’s voice had danger. He knew something went wrong.

Arabella was also alerted. She sensed they were talking about Adam and something bad had happened.

“Sir, your son escaped. He managed to unlock your door security code.” The man’s voice trembled in fright while reporting.

“What?” Bill didn’t know what to feel. He was quite amazed and surprised knowing that his son had such a great skill as he set up his passcode by himself and no one could open it except him.

“Get all men to find him,” Bill ordered quickly. He locked Adam in his mansion but they still never saw each other. He was not prepared for it as he had a bad feeling that the kid would be shocked too.

Back in the hospital, Bill deliberately put Arabella's cellphone in the drawer so she could see it. He put a tracker in her phone to easily know her location. After hearing that she escaped, he wasn’t shocked as he already anticipated it. He was also the one to give Farrah the invitation to attend Gab’s pre-wedding party. He knew Farrah would come with Arabella. The invitation served a double purpose.

“What happened to my son?” Arabella asked hysterically as Bill’s driving was already almost flying. She knew Adam was in danger.

“He escaped.” He answered while not taking his eyes on the road.

“What?” She was shocked. She was looking forward to seeing Adam but when she heard him her nervous rose again.

“Turned around. If he escaped, that means he would be home by now.” Arabella ordered as she knew his son could manage to go home alone but still, she was worried about him.

Arabella quickly got her phone and dialed Damien.

“Damien….” She said but her call was cut as Bill grabbed her cellphone.

“You don’t need him,” Bill said furiously in a cold tone.

“You don’t have the right to tell me what to do. Give me back my phone!” She was in fury with his reaction as she yelled at him.

Bill didn’t answer nor grant her demand.

“If you didn’t kidnap my son, he would just stay in my house. He would be sleeping right now soundly and not somewhere dangerous. You brought him in danger. You should be in danger, not my son.” Arabella coarsely said without giving any care of his feeling. She wanted to offend him so that he would get mad and leave them for good.

Bill had no reaction as he drove.

“If something happened to my son, I will kill you!” She shouted threatening him. Her voice carried a wave of extreme anger.

After, her words, a screeching sound of a car was heard. Bill stepped on the brake abruptly. Arabella wasn’t prepared and shoved herself forward fortunately she was wearing her seatbelt but there was still an impact that for a while made her a bit dizzy.

“You!...” She screamed but by looking at his serious expression she chose to not finish her words. She could not offend him more at this time or else he would get rid of her for sure.

Not hearing her anymore, Bill started to drive again.

“Better.” He spoke with satisfaction.

The air was screaming with suspense and tension as two people inside liked to kill each other.

After a while, Bill’s phone rang again. He looked at it and frowned before he answered using his Bluetooth.

“Mom.” His voice had no interest in talking longer to her as his mind was preoccupied with his son.

“Bill, because of that woman you turned to become rude to me,” Kelly uttered in such a displeasing tone.

“Mom. I am sorry. I have something urgent to deal with it. I have to hang up.” He really didn’t want to hear some nagging at the moment.

“Hang up? On me?” Kelly questioned with sarcasm. “What if I tell you that I have your son?” Kelly declared with a provoking tone.

Bill abruptly stepped on the break again. Arabella immediately moved towards but this time she didn’t mind as her ears were focusing on Bill and Kelly's conversation. She sensed that they were talking about Adam. Her motherly instinct was always right.

“Mom, are you serious?” Bill asked sternly. He clearly had no time playing around.

“Who are you?” He was expecting his mom would reply but instead, a little voice sounded. Hearing his son, Bill’s heart was clenched. He didn’t even know how to answer the boy’s question. So, he gave the phone to Arabella.

“Hello? Adam?” Arabella felt her son was on the phone without Bill informing her.

“Mom?Mom?Is that you?” Adam replied with excitement.

“Adam. It’s mommy. Where are….” Arabella’s tears came flowing when she heard Adam’s voice but the line was cut off.

“Adam?Adam?Adam!” She panicked while crying as she tried to call the number again but it couldn’t push through.

Bill got his phone and wanted to pacify her. He almost tapped her but she swerved her shoulder. It was clear that she didn’t want him to touch or comfort her.

“Adam is with my mom,” Bill said firmly.

“Then let’s go to her place now and get Adam.” She ordered with an annoyed tone.

“I will drive you home. Get rest. I will settle this matter.” Bill ordered with a serious expression on his face.

“No!” Arabella quickly refuted. “I will not trust Adam to you. How dare you just came into our lives and make trouble on us. If you don’t insist on your existence in Adam’s life, he was just in my house safe and sound. You are the one to blame for everything!” Arabella said harshly. Her expression was flushed due to her annoyance and extreme anger.

“My mom would not do anything bad to him,” Bill replied with a plain tone.

“Then why did she take him away?” She asked indignantly.

“If you keep on asking. We cannot get Adam on time.” Bill said with a displeasing expression.

Arabella heaved a sigh. She was holding herself not to hit him again. On the other hand, he was right. Bill was the only one who could face his mom. If she would go, it would just cause disaster as Kelly hated her.

“Okay. Take me home.” She rested her case. For Adam, she could lower her pride.

But only for this time.

Bill smirked at her and started to drive again. Arabella was still thinking about Adam. Her worries never lessened even a single bit. It surged up from time to time. Then, when she looked outside,

“Hey! Hey! This is not the direction to my house.” She panicked seeing an unfamiliar location.

“From now on, your home is in my house.” He declared.
