You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 366

“Guys, I don’t think I want to marry. I want to slay this chick first.” One of the men sounded.

The giggling of men in the room was too loud but Eric and Hanna were just staring at each other like they didn’t hear any noise.

They seemed caught in a different world like they were the only people who exist.

Their eyes were like talking to each other but in a complex way.

Eric’s eyes were full of hate while Hanna’s were explaining.

She was hoping that Eric could hear her out.

She wanted to clear her name and she wanted to see once again the Eric she once knew.

The cool and down-to-earth Eric.

He never judged her for being so poor and he didn’t care what was her work and her poor status in society.

He accepted her just the way she was but everything changed.

It was her fault but at least Eric should have had the heart to listen to her explanation.

But now, Eric had changed completely into a different person.

The person she was scared of.

There was mocking on his face and some kind of a threat with extreme anger.

By how Eric dangerously stared at her, Hanna already felt petrified.

She just wanted to run away from the room because she didn’t want to be humiliated.

“Miss? Are you not gonna dance? Are you, okay?” Another man sounded impatient. “Eric, I think this girl knows you. Do you have some kind of a relationship that we don’t know?” Along with this man’s voice were chuckles from the rest of the men.

The scene of Eric and Hanna exchanging stares was palpable to anyone.

“Hmmm… I’m sorry but I have to go.” Hanna didn’t feel so right.

She felt she had to go otherwise, she would be the clown of the group.

She didn’t want that to happen as she was a dance performer and not a clown comedian.

Eric would surely add to her humiliation.

His expression was telling her that he would never save her from his friends and Hanna didn’t want also to expect that from Eric.

She just wanted to leave them immediately.

As she was about to turn around, “Stop!” She heard Eric’s voice.

With Eric’s tone, she felt she was a slave strictly mandated by her owner.

Hanna halted as her heart was trembling.

Her breathing was changing as her nervousness was already eating her up.

She didn’t know what to do.

With Eric’s voice, a deafening silence invaded the room.

She was sure Eric’s friends were also shocked by his sudden mandate as he seemed the only one who was drinking solemnly before she came inside the room.

After a while, Hanna could feel footsteps coming her way.

Her heartbeat was racing very fast.

She wanted to raise her feet to run as fast as she can as she could already sense danger was coming her way.

In her job, she could only rely on her vigilant senses for her safety, and tonight she felt the same way.

Her instinct panicked trying to figure out something to escape the place until she realized that it was too late.

A strong hand suddenly grabbed her slender wrist.

She quickly looked at the owner of the hand and she was stunned to see Eric was already standing beside her.

He was tall and had a sexy figure wearing his black coat and tie.

The rest of the men were also wearing professional suits so one could easily say that they came from work and decided to hang out first before going home.

“E…Eric…” She muttered softly.

Her voice mixed the cold air but enough for him to hear it.

Eric’s hard expression didn’t change.

He just smirked at her mockingly and his sharp eyes were already giving her a ‘guilty’ verdict even without any trial.

Without saying any single word, Eric dragged her back in front.

She tried to escape from him by getting her arm back was Eric didn’t release her instead he tightened his grip on her wrist.

It pained her but Eric seemed not to care.

“What’s with the drama, Hanna?” Eric finally spoke.

His tone was full of sarcasm. “Why are you running away?” He added full of mockery. “Don’t you think we can pay for your performance? Look! We are a group of young billionaires here and I can say that we are more capable of paying you more and capable to make you satisfied in bed compared to those old dirty men who you had slept with.” Eric had no sympathy for her as he was insulting her in front of his colleagues.

Even the rest of the men were silent.

They seemed to sense the awkwardness in the air and they didn’t want to offend Eric.

“Paakkkk!” After Eric’s words, a thunderclap slap sound echoed inside the room.

Along with a heavy heart, Hanna slapped Eric with all her might.

She was full of hate for what Eric had said.

She was not expecting that the man she loved could humiliate her in front of other people.

The man who she expected to comfort, support, and protect her would be the one to her down in front of other people.

It shattered her heart.

She felt hit by his words like she was the lowest creature living in the world.

It made her blame herself for why she was being born with poor life.

Her tears came out dripping because of anger and sadness mixed into one.

Now that she had slapped him, Hanna didn’t want to defend herself.

All Eric said was partly true.

She deceived old men to get money from them because her mother was dying at that time.

She was pushed by the situation because of the sickness of her mother.

She had to undergo major operations.

She used her body to work 5 jobs a day or more.

All jobs that were offered to her, she never refused just to pay for her mother’s operation but it wasn’t enough.

Even if she died working, her salary wasn’t enough not even half to compensate for her mother’s medication.

So, she had no other choice but to play with her fate just to save her dying mother and at the same time support her brother’s living.

Though she never wanted to take offers from different men, she had no choice at all.

She had to live, her mother had to live as well as her brother.

Because of her figure and beauty, Hanna was offered a lot of money at that time by different men.

She played and tricked them.

She made them drunk and she always put their drinks a sleeping pill so they would easily go to sleep.

They chose old men so she could easily make them believe that they slept together in the same bed when the fact was, they were just sleeping soundly and she went away after she put them to sleep.

Hanna was very good at tricking old desperate men but never young ones like Eric Grant.

She never tricked him.

She could not admit her real identity to him because she was afraid that she might not able to see him again.

She was sure of that and since he was the first man who made her heart happy, she wanted to enjoy and live in the moment where they were okay.

They were in love with each other.

There was affection in their eyes for each other.

These were Hanna wanted to protect but she failed.

The moment she decided to save Eric was the time she gave up all her happiness but she had no regrets about protecting him.

“Do you really think that you can just escape from me after you did?” Eric’s dangerous voice snapped Hanna back to her senses.
