You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife

Chapter 450: Last Goodbye

"Why... why are you here?" When Hanna arrived at her house after work, she saw Eric with her brother,

Anthony. They were sitting on the sofa and watching a movie like they were already close friends.

"Sister, brother here... we played basketball earlier then we get tired and went home." Anthony quickly

stood up to greet Hanna and assisted her with her bag and the things she was holding.

Hearing Anthony, Hanna frowned.

She didn't believe that Eric could be this friendly.

But she couldn't avoid thinking about his plan.

She knew Eric had something up his sleeve.

Hanna just didn't like that her brother would be dragged into their matter.

She didn't like her brother would be hurt because she knew his brother was already beginning to like

him judging from Anthony's jolly expression. If Eric would be staying on the island, it would be okay but

she clearly knew that Eric would leave them sooner. She didn't want to put her hopes up on him

because she knew she would surely be disappointed.

Eric could not continue living on the island and he would never throw everything he had for them.

"Bro... brother?" Hanna asked with a deep frown.

Anthony smiled at her and nodded.

His expression was something and she didn't like it.

Anthony was playing a matchmaker for them.

"Eric! We need to talk." Hanna called out the man who was laxly sitting on the sofa and he seemed not

part of the topic.

After hearing Hanna, he looked at her calmly and smirked.

"Okay, come here and sit beside me." He ordered tapping the space beside him.

Hanna looked so annoyed as she felt there was a new owner of their house.

"No! Outside!" Hanna ordered almost shouting.

Eric heaved a sigh like he was complaining about her stubbornness in his mind.

Hanna looked at Anthony like she was reprimanding him to go to his room through her eyes.

Anthony quickly got the message and ran to his room.

After he left, Hanna went to Eric and held his arm forcefully pulled him up but Eric was overly strong

than her. He pulled her instead then, she was quickly shoved into the space beside him.

Eric smiled satisfyingly at her while she was bursting with anger.

"What are you doing here and why are you with my brother?" She was rolling her eyes in annoyance.

Eric looked at her and then smirked charmingly.

"Didn't you want to see a handsome guy inside your house?" He answered kiddingly.

"Hahaha! Should I laugh now? I am serious, Eric." Now she understood why he didn't see him in the

resort.

It seemed he went out to mingle with her brother, Anthony.

After seeing that Hanna was already bursting with annoyance, Eric's face got serious.

His eyes were fixed on her.

"I... I'm going back to Capital Z," Eric uttered seriously.

Hanna heard Eric clearly and she was suddenly taken aback.

She was right, Eric would leave them sooner.

And the time was just too quick.

She should be happy that at long last, he would return and leave the island but why she felt so sad?

Hanna felt disappointed and her heart seemed crying.

Even though, she tried to smile hiding her true feelings.

"Then, good for you." She uttered trying her best to hide her real emotion toward Eric.

"Hanna, I want you to come with me." Eric suddenly held her hands.

Hanna wanted to say yes.

God knew how much she wanted to be with him but she couldn't.

If only her heart could shout, it already betrayed her.

"You know that I ...." Hanna answered and she was about to refuse him but Eric cut her by putting his

thumb on her lips.

"Shhh... I don't want to hear your answer now." Eric sounded so sincere. "Tomorrow, I will wait for you

tomorrow in the resort. I expect you to come with me, Hanna. I want you to come with me." Eric

continued with his hands holding hers then he hugged her.

Hanna felt her heart shatter into pieces again.

She didn't understand why she had to see Eric again and they had to separate from each other again.

Her tears wanted to betray her but she tried her best not to cry behind him.

Eric's hug seemed to tell her his last goodbye and it seemed it was the last time they would see each

other.

Meanwhile, when Bill kissed her, she was stunned a little.

This was because the alcohol made her body hot and hotter when Bill started to flirt with her.

Just when her phone rang, she was quickly snapped back to her senses.

Quickly, she pushed Bill and got her phone as she frowned thinking of why she kissed the man and she

even let him kiss her.

“You can go home,” Arabella sounded so uneasy like she was already sobered.

“Seriously? After what you did to me? Ahhh!” Bill was mad. He obviously didn’t like Arabella’s attitude.

He quickly stood up and went to her shower room.

“Hey, what are you doing? Where are you going?” She asked panicking. “Go back to your home right

now!” She exclaimed annoyed with the man who invaded her place again.

What made him so irritated was that Bill moved into her house like he owned her place.

Bill just halted at the center and turned around to face Arabella, “This is my home.” Bill claimed as he

smirked then went straight to the bathroom without waiting for Arabella’s reply.

Arabella was puzzled by his claim.

She never gave him any right to her house and she had no plan to give him.

Everyone knew that Bill was a married man.

How could he put her reputation in a dangerous state?

If people knew, surely, her reputation would be ruined.

With her thoughts’ Arabella’s jaw dropped as her eyes grew wider.

Then, she touched her lips with unstable breathing. “Oh my! Oh my! What did you just do? Arabella!”

She muttered in the air thoroughly questioning herself after she realized that she just kissed a married

man.

“Yeah, it is Bill Sky but his status isn’t the same anymore and you and he were nothing.

Why did you let it happen, huh?” Along with her noisy ringtone was her voice mocking herself.

She was immensely complaining and at this point wanted to choke herself. “Arabella, you are a sinner!”

She exclaimed in the air as she held her hair with her two hands and shook her head.

She was guilty of everything that happened.

Though she tried to stand what she believed was correct but whenever Bill was around, she was

always shaken.

Her heart trembled and her heartbeat raced so fast.

She lost all her control and then everything was ruined just like that.

That was all the effects whenever Bill was around and she was aware that she needed to stimulate

strong control and barrier between them but the big question was, HOW?

How could she hide from him when he could even enter her house without her giving the key?

It was just so funny that in these modern times, rich people like Bill could always find a way on

whatever they wanted using their power, people, and money.

Arabella even wondered if she had a tracker.

She quickly shook her head to get rid of her silly thoughts then she got her phone.

Eric Grant.

She quickly answered seeing the caller’s name.

“What’s up, brother?” She tried to calm her voice. Arabella just hoped everything with Eric and Hanna

was settled.

“Are you coming to the party tomorrow? Eric asked. Though he never mentioned a lot of details, she

already knew what he was talking about. This also confirmed to her that Bill invited Eric and she could

not help but feel bothered.

“No. Definitely, I’m not going my brother.” Arabella answered with a strong refusal in her tone.

Eric seemed to be caught in silence on the other line.

“Brother… how are you?” Arabella felt the need to ask.

“I’m in Capital Z now for the party tomorrow.” Eric’s tone was emotionally blank.

“Are you… are you, okay?” Courageously, she asked. Arabella was worried about Eric and Hanna. The

way she saw things, wasn’t that good. Eric’s voice was gloomy and he left that island quickly. It just

meant Eric and Hanna separated ways again.

“I… I am.” Eric plainly answered.

“Would you like to talk about it?” As a woman, Arabella had strong senses and she could feel Eric was

not okay even though he denied it.

“Hmmm, no need. I will just see you tomorrow at the party.” Eric announced then he cut the call.

“Wait! What? Brother, I said… I am not going!” She mumbled but it was too late, Eric had dropped the

call.

After a while, she frowned as she felt awkward. Eric was awkward.

He seemed sure that she was going to the party when she had no plan to attend.

She was never going to attend and humiliate her life again at that party.

“Done talking?” Bill sounded behind her. She quickly turned around to face him. Her eyes grew bigger

seeing the man’s wet sexy abs. Bill stood up top naked. He only wore back his pants. His hair was still

wet and messy which made him so cute to look at. Though Arabella found it very hard to ignore the

sexy sight in front of her, she tried her best to avert her gaze to the corner of her house.

“Bill, why are you doing this?” She complained clenching her fist. “Why are you inviting all my friends to

your party, huh? What is this again? Another trick?” She felt angry as she remembered the moment

when she was embarrassed by people at that same party.

“Hmmm…” He just muttered as his expression was not affected by her nagging. Bill wiped his wet hair

like he was not in a hurry.

“Bill! I am freaking serious here!” She hissed angrily. “Please stop ruining my life.” She was begging in

her anger.

“You are going whether you like it or not.” Bill took his shirt and went away.

“Wait! What?” Bill just left without waiting for his response. She ran to chase him but Bill was gone.

She stood rooted on her spot for a while as her mind was in a deep mess.

She was puzzled by Bill’s words and she knew there was something with him.

“Bill, what are you planning?” She muttered in the air while wracking her brain.

She eagerly wanted to know so she could get herself ready for anything.

The cold air outside snapped her senses back.

She quickly went inside to get herself warm.

In her bed, Arabella could still not avoid thinking about the party and Bill’s words before he went away.

They made her unable to sleep the whole night.

Before the night ended, one thing was fixed for her and that was, she was not going to attend the party

because she knew that party would be no good for her.

She could not let anyone or herself be embarrassed again.

Morning came so quickly.

The sunlight entered through the gap in her curtain which made her open her eyes.

She heaved a heavy sigh as she felt the expected headache due to her drinking last night.

Arabella was not in a hurry to get up but she had to mend her headache.

She quickly stood up and went out of her room.

When her eyes landed on the couch where Bill and she sat last night, all the memories at that moment

instantly flashed across her mind.

She felt good about it but was quickly covered with sadness at the same time.

After realizing her complicated emotions, she shook her head to get rid of the memories in her mind.

She should not be thinking of those as she prohibits herself to think of Bill.

Just by thinking of the married man, she was already committing a sin.

She quickly went to her kitchen and got herself a glass of water then she drank medicine to get rid of

her hangover.

In just a few hours, the anniversary party would start.

She didn’t wish anything bad would happen to the party.

Instead, she wished the party of Bill would be fun ad successful.

After she got her breakfast, her doorbell rang.

She had no choice but to open the door.

The person behind the door was another delivery man.

She didn’t need to ask about what he was going to give her.

Judging from the size and kind of box he was holding, Arabella knew that it was from Bill and it was a

cocktail gown again.

She didn’t want to receive it but upon realizing the delivery man’s trouble after, she received the parcel.

She didn’t want anyone to be in trouble with her personal matter.

When she entered back inside her house, she just threw the box onto her couch without bothering to

see what was inside the box.

She was just so impressed how Bill could waste his money and effort after declining his invitation but

even if he would send her thousand of gowns, she would not go.

It was clear to her mind and to herself that she would not go to that party and no one or nothing can

convince her.

After she cleaned her house, she went back to bed.

Finally, it was time for her to rest her mind and didn’t want to be bothered by the party that was going to

happen.

Arabella quickly took a nap.

“Mom? Mom? Mom….” Suddenly, she heard Adam’s voice calling her.

She was not mistaken, it was her son. She felt so happy hearing Adam’s voice but was unsure if it was

real or a dream.

Her eyes were closed and the last thing she remembered she felt asleep.

She was pretty sure she was just dreaming. Well, even in her dream, she was happy to hear from

Adam and she also wanted to see him but it was all dark.

“Mom? Mom….” She heard Adam again.

“Mommy! Open the door, please. I am here outside. Mommy! Mommy!” Adam sounded followed by

loud knocks on her door.

At that moment, Arabella quickly opened her eyes.

She was sure, she wasn’t dreaming.

Adam was outside as she still kept hearing knocks on her door.

Realizing everything, Arabella smiled.

She felt so happy and excited.

She ran outside and opened the door.

Quickly saw her chubby charming boy smiling lovingly at her.

He was dressed up so gorgeous with his black tuxedo and well-fixed hair.

"Mommy!" Adam quickly hugged her. "Get dressed now, mommy, because you are going to be my

muse at the party." Adam's adorable dimples showed with begging eyes.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
