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

Chapter 459: Major Change

“Can I see her?” Arabella asked as she wanted so badly to at least say her proper goodbye to her half-

sister, Trishia.

“Arabella, Trishia’s entire body was tremendously burned and buried with massive concretes. She was

only identified with her belongings.” Bill explained seriously.

“What belonging?” Arabella asked curiously.

“Like our wedding ring, etc,” Bill answered briefly.

Arabella could not help to be so terrified by the news.

She was thinking about this earlier but hearing about Trishia’s bad fate made her disheartened.

If only they were born in different times and circumstances, they might be a chance for them to be

friends or best of friends like true sisters.

It was just so sad that Trishia saw Arabella as her great competitor.

Her eyes and mind were clouded by immense jealousy toward Arabella.

She became so self-centered and desperate which led her to hurt other people.

“How’re my friends? Rosy? Eric? Lira? Damien?” Arabella could not find her calm.

“Relax… they’re safe,” Bill answered as he got her hand and squeezed it a little.

“And… you?” Arabella looked at Bill worriedly.

What happened back there wasn’t just ordinary chaos.

It was a huge disaster for Bill’s company.

“Hmmm…” Bill smirked as his eyes turned uneasy. “Everything was settled, there’s nothing to worry

about.” Bill plainly answered.

She gave Bill a doubtful look.

She still couldn’t believe the party turned out to be so tragic that people had died.

“Bill…” Arabella knew Bill had done his part. It was indeed a surprise for her but it ended badly.

Trishia was not an easy person to deal with and obviously, they miscalculated that part.

“Arabella… just don’t worry about it, okay? Rest and calm your mind.” Bill seemed to read her mind as

he sounded.

Arabella heaved a sigh then she looked at Bill solemnly.

“Thank you.” She uttered from the bottom of her heart. “Thank you for clearing up my name.” Arabella

smiled at Bill.

She never expected that Bill would make such a huge effort for her.

She hated herself for not trusting him.

“Well, that’s long overdue. I’m sorry.” Bill squeezed her hand again. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

There were traces of disappointment, guilt, and apologies in his eyes.

Arabella held Bill’s hand. “Let’s just call it quits.” She smiled at him sweetly.

Bill smirked as he put a few strands of her hair behind her earlobe.

His eyes looked at her face keenly like he was scrutinizing all the detail on her face carefully.

Arabella instantly blushed.

Seeing her crimson cheeks, Bill smirked charmingly.

“Bill, can you stop staring at me?” She complained shyly.

“Why not? You are mine.” Bill was serious as he spoke claiming his ownership.

“Oh, that we have to talk,” Arabella commented naughtily.

Bill frowned.

It seemed her words affected his mood.

His eyes became strict again.

“Okay, what now, Arabella? What’s your call now?” His tone was impatient and obviously complaining

in a cute way as if the stubborn girl stroked again.

Arabella’s eyes sparkled. “Well, you said it was long overdue, so, I have the right to make a deal, do

you agree?”

“Hmm… but you just said it quits?” Bill smirked as his eyes were reminding her about her words earlier

just in case, she forgot that all of the sudden.

Arabella knew it.

Bill was just so fast and a fast thinker of course.

She smiled sweetly as she knew he could not resist her charm. “Well, When I said that, it meant to

forget…” Arabella was up for explaining but Bill stopped her.

“Shhh…” Bill put his index finger on her lips to stop her from speaking.

His somber eyes bore into her. “What’s your deal, Arabella?” He asked in a deep tone.

It was a good thing, that Bill asked her.

He seemed to read her mind again and didn’t want to give her a hard time explaining.

Arabella felt satisfied.

She smiled at him first sweetly before she continued.

“Well, this is about us,” She looked at Bill with her cutest admirable look as she knew Bill would rather

oppose her.

“Hmmm…” Bill smirked cutely too.

His eyes were waiting for her. “Okay? What about us?” Bill didn’t know how his life changed because of

this woman.

It was indeed a major change in his life where he had to sit down and listen to her patiently.

“Hmmm…” Arabella tried her best to explain as she carefully collected her thoughts. “As you know, we

started awful. Bill, I want to start a new beginning.” Arabella explained as she looked at Bill with serious

and determined eyes.

Hearing Arabella Bill smirked and nodded his head. “Hmmm… that is also what I want,” He replied with

his cute smirk.

Getting a positive reply, Arabella continued with a calm heart, “Hmmm… with that, I want us also to

start at the beginning.” Arabella explained like she was making something step by step careful and

delicate.

She didn’t want Bill to misunderstand her of course.

Bill heaved a sigh.

It looked like, he knew what this was going then he smirked again trying to be still and patient with her.

“Okay, so…” He asked still wanting to hear from her what was already in his head.

“Bill, let’s start as friends.” As the topic was getting hot and she could already feel something was

starting to formulate in the air, Arabella spilled directly hoping Bill would accept her decision.

For her, it was just right that they start right.

Maybe everything they had was so fast.

They started awful.

She kissed a random guy in a bar to get rid of her ex-boyfriend, Jayson.

And that happened to be the most successful businessman and billionaire, Bill Sky.

The womanizer and merciless, Bill Sky.

Then Bill used her to deceive his parents.

Shortly she became the contractual wife of the famous Bill Sky.

They entered a contract.

They lived together but ended up worst.

She ran away...

She was terrified...

She came to the point that she never to see him again and all she wanted to do was to run away from

him all her life.

But fate brought her back always to him.

Now, if they would start right maybe things would get better ahead of them.

And Arabella was very positive about this.

Bill sat still.

For a while, he didn’t move or say something.

She just looked at Arabella with his somber eyes, studying her beautiful face and hopeful eyes.

She was a woman who possessed a natural expression.

Whatever she felt inside reflects in her eyes.

Bill looked into her eyes like he was looking for something deeper.

On the other hand, Arabella was dying for his response.

Her heart was trembling as she met his eyes.

Then finally, Bill smirked as his eyes narrowed cutely.

“Okay.” He responded plainly which made Arabella find her calm. “Friends, if that’s what you want.” He

added coolly as he nodded his head and folded his arms up to his chest.

“Bill, I am serious. This means we cannot do things that are not for friends… you know! You got what I

mean?” Arabella was happy enough that Bill agreed but of course, she had to elaborate more clearly

so they had a mutual understanding.

With his smirk, Bill nodded listening to her.

“Bill you can’t do things that aren’t inappropriate. Okay?” Arabella continued with her high spirit.

She knew Bill’s personality was too hard to handle and was very complicated but she also believed that

maybe a great explanation would help a lot.

“Hmmm… Okay,” Bill agreed nodding his head with his cute smirk.

“And that, you can’t touch me, okay?” Arabella said directly.

It was between adult-to-adult discussion.

“Hmmm… okay,” Bill answered nodding his head again with his arms folded in front.

“With that, I need my own room in your house so I can be with Adam but you can’t mandate me, I have

my own life so you will not stop me from anything I want to do like teaching in the school and etcetera,

okay?” Arabella took her chances with Bill’s good mood.

Bill smirked again and nodded his head, “Okay,” He answered simply.

“Hmmm… do you have something to add or anything you want to say?” Arabella just found it weird that

Bill was just simply agreed to her. It wasn’t the norm for him but somehow, she was positive that maybe

Bill was now considering her opinions after all they had experienced together.

“Hmmm…” Bill smirked at her again.

She could not see any trace on his expression that he was angry.

He was indeed calmed.

His eyes were serious as he smirked and she liked him as her view.

Bill nodded again.

His cute dimples showed whenever he smirked.

“Friends…” Bill uttered the word calmly. It was his turn to speak and he was not in a hurry.

He was right about Arabella’s deal but he couldn’t believe that after a long run being separated, she

just wanted them to start being friends.

She just didn’t know how much he wanted to torture her in the bed right now.

He badly wanted her to moan his name repeatedly in his bed.

He wanted her to allow him freely all the access to her body.

She just didn’t know how much he missed her but he had to respect her decision.

He was not himself again for doing this but maybe Arabella was right.

This would be another major change for him.

“In that case, I can date freely? I mean women are around me. Correct?” Bill teased.

Hearing Bill, she was dumbfounded.

How could she answer him with a big no when he agreed to her?

Trying her best to control her impulse even though her heart was clenched by immense jealousy,

Arabella managed to smile as she answered.

“Correct,” She could not put herself into shame.

Arabella tried her best to show her cool.

“Hmmm…” Bill nodded as he cupped his chin with his index finger and thumb. “So, this also means that

I can also do anything I want to do, correct?” Bill asked again like he was thinking of something.

“Where can I bring her? City A or B? hmmm…” Then he muttered in the air like he was just talking to

himself and Arabella didn’t exist in front of him.

Arabella clearly heard Bill's murmuring words and it made her piss.

He was now thinking of another woman even if she was in front of him.

This Bill… Bill Sky is such a womanizer.

With her thoughts, she still managed to smile coolly.

“Correct.” She answered.

“Well, that’s great,” Bill answered satisfyingly.

Arabella didn’t like it.

She was already jealous and she hated it a lot.

Bill already had plans and she just planned to continue her normal life.

Teaching in the school and having more time with Adam but this man would use his time with other

women.

She could not help giggling irritatedly inside.

“Then…” Suddenly Bill leaned forward to her.

Their faces were too close to each other.

Their eyes were meeting and accommodating each other’s stares.

Their lips were enticing each other.

Arabella instantly felt all her tingling sensations inside were awakened but she held herself.

She could not act as if she liked him a lot.

It was just going to embarrass her stand.

She quickly felt her breathing change but she acted unaffected.

“What about if you miss me? Your friend, huh?” Bill sounded sexy and there was an emphasis in his

statement.

Arabella broke a soft laugh.

She had to.

Acting and pretending that his words were too impossible when the reality was it could happen too

soon.

She knew what Bill was doing right now.

He started flirting with her and honestly, she only had a little grip on herself when it comes to his

flirtatious voice and expression as well as his movement.

She heaved a heavy sigh. ‘Gosh! Bill Sky!’ Her mind was screaming along with her trembling inside.

She had to control this wild feeling she had or else, her deal was off.

“Bill Sky, what are you doing?” She asked with eyes questioning him profoundly.

Bill smirked cutely, “Hmmm… nothing.” Teasing her always turned him on.

Then he sat back properly.

It gave her so much of a relief as she thought she could not hold it any longer.

"Then, friends," Bill sounded accepting her proposal.

Arabella was happy but something also bothered her.

For whatever it is, the most important now was they could start something and it was a good start.

After his words, his phone rang.

"Oh, my friend...I have to answer this." Bill took his phone and raised it to show Arabella.

"Who's that?" She quickly asked as her mind was running wild seeing his playful expression. How he

called her friend made her think that the caller was a woman.

"Oh, you are asking because?" Bill asked meaningfully and naughtily.

"I'm asking as a friend." Arabella could not hold it. Her voice was irate.

Bill laughed.

He knew her game very well and he was willing to play with it.

"Oh, this... well, let's say a special friend," Bill answered. "So, If I may..." Bill stood up and winked at her

cutely before he went away.

Arabella folded her arms in front as she heaved deeply like she was already breathing fire.

"What's the status?" Outside, Bill quickly asked the caller.

"Sir, it is confirmed that someone got the detonator and blew up the whole area. The detonator was

thrown outside after. According to our investigation, this person was inside that hall together with you

and we have a fingerprint, sir." Bill's investigator reported.

"Name?" Bill asked.

He knew the people left there standing and able were, Eric, Rosy, Damien, and Lira.

They were all friends of Arabella.

Who could have the guts to kill people?
