You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 449

“I know what you are capable of doing.” Trishia was gnashing her teeth talking closer to Damien’s face without any fear.

Then she smiled at him. “We are in the same boat don't you ever forget that.” Trishia patted Damien’s shoulder coolly and she quickly went away.

Damien stood rooted on his spot when Arabella came to stop him but it was too late.

Trishia was already gone.

Maybe she was scared of Damien’s actions a while ago that was why she left that instant.

Knowing Trishia, she would not leave as long as she was not satisfied with her purpose of coming to her school.

“Damien, are you alright?” Arabella asked worriedly seeing Damien was still not moving.

It seemed her voice just snapped him back to his senses.

“Hmmm…” Damien answered Arabella nodding assuring her that he was good and there was nothing to be troubled of.

“Why do I feel that you are not, okay? Did Trishia tell something to you? Oh, please, I want to apologize, Damien. She should spare you for my matter.” Arabella knew Damien for too long now and more or less she could read his eyes if he was troubled by something.

“Nothing…” Damien answered briefly.

He was avoiding her stare.

“Are you sure?” Arabella could not help to ask him again as it seemed that Damien’s answer didn’t satisfy her.

“Yeah, of course.” Damien smiled at her and then strode back to the office but he stopped before he could reach the door.

“Arabella, I don’t want you to get hurt. With Trishia’s power and connection now, she could easily kill you. So, please avoid her husband the best that you can.” Damien said sincerely to her before he completely got inside the office.

Arabella was left dumbfounded by Damien’s words.

He was absolutely right but how could she do it?

It was not her who always appeared in Bill’s life.

It was Bill Sky.

He was the one who got inside her apartment last night.

He even gave her an invitation to his company’s anniversary.

“Believe me, Damien, I am doing my best,” Arabella muttered in the air as she was gritting her teeth after being determined with her words.

Maybe her best wasn’t good enough because if she was already doing her best, Trishia would not come and bombard her with harsh words.

But seriously?

How could she get rid of Bill completely when she wanted him so badly?

So much... that was already hurting her to see him with someone else.

So much... that her heart was deeply wounded thinking that he was already someone’s husband.

How could she get rid of her love for him?

If she was a dirty woman, she already grabbed the opportunity last night.

If she wanted Trishia to die in anger and jealousy, she already took the chances that Bill was giving her.

She could temp him to be with her arms again or him on her bed.

She could definitely do that but she was not that dirty woman.

Love could be so desperate sometimes but Arabella didn’t want to indulge in a dirty love.

That kind of love would just cause her another trouble and she was not just putting only herself in trouble but also her loved ones especially her son, Adam.

True love was not dirty.

It is genuine and that kind of love isn’t selfish.

He would rather protect her loved ones than satisfy herself.

“Excuse, Ms. J, should I bring your package to the car?” Her thoughts were disturbed when Lira sounded behind her.

She was talking about the gown Bill had sent her earlier.

Realizing, Damien’s words, she answered,” Could you bring it here to me, please?” She asked politely.

Damien came out with the parcel.

It was an elegant red box and it really looked very expensive.

She looked at Damien who was also looking at her at the same time.

Without any hesitation, she got the expensive box from Damien and quickly put it in a big trash bin beside her.

For the last time, Arabella looked at the box like she was telling herself that she was doing a good job and it is the best thing she had to do then she turned around and went away.

Damien was left standing outside then he smirked mysteriously.

Tomorrow was Sky Corporation’s Anniversary party.

The three people went to a restaurant to have dinner and some more drinks because the next day was a weekend.

They didn’t need to go to school and they didn’t have the plan to attend the party.

Arabella and Damien drank too much while Lira didn’t because she was going to drive.

Even without asking the two have obviously had personal problems that they could not share with the group.

Those were the problems that only alcohol could solve.

Figuratively, alcohol could make forget problems and could make you sleep easier.

Just easy and quick because after you were sober, the main problem was not totally gone but for the people who suffered enough and for those people who were badly hurt, that quick moment already meant a lot.

“Okay, I think I am done drinking. Let’s go home. Oops!” Arabella announced as she stood but she tripped.

Luckily, she got her balance quickly, and instead of on the floor she was shoved back into her seat.

“Ms. J, be careful.” Lira was also quick enough to assist her.

“Be careful, will you?” Damien said annoyed with her action. “Be careful, I don’t want you to get hurt.” He said it again.

Arabella frowned.

She knew Damien said it earlier in the school and now he was saying it again.

He must be very worried about her.

“Don’t worry my friend. I am and I will.” Arabella answered him satisfyingly.

“Nah…” Damien uttered shaking his head strongly showing his refusal. “Because if you are, you will choose me over that dangerous man, Bill Sky.” He continued with a tipsy expression.

His head was leaning on his palm while his other hand was holding a bottle of beer.

His expression and tone were carrying disappointment.

Hearing Damien, Lira was taken aback.

Even though she knew Damien’s feelings for a long time, she still felt hurt.

She still could not process everything and instead of complaining she rather felt the intense pain all by herself secretly.

Arabella looked at Damien and chuckled softly. “Thank you. You are always there for me, my friend.” Arabella didn’t put Damien’s words to heart. She avoided giving the wrong meaning to his words.

She knew he was drunk and she was already drunk too.

All their words were just caused by their drunken state.

“Nah! Just leave that dangerous man if you wanted a peaceful life and away from any troubles. Do you understand me? Let's just go back abroad and live together the same way as before. Leave that man! Okay?” Damien was looking at Arabella seriously.

His tone was strictly ordering Arabella like there was also a trace of anger in it.

“Damien, that’s enough. You are drunk already.” Lira felt the commotion and the tension was surging up in the air.

She quickly butted in to pacify Damien.

His expression was serious and his words were serious.

“Shhhh…. Lira, I am just telling the truth. Just don’t interrupt.” Damien cut her off while putting his index finger on his lips signaling Lira to shut up.

“Okay, let’s go. No need to bring me home. I can go home by myself.” Arabella suddenly stood up trying to balance herself.

She was determined to go home alone and didn't want to hear anything about Bill Sky.

“No, Ms. J, wait. You can’t go home like that.” Lira quickly went to her to stop Arabella.

Arabella turned around to face her. “Shhh… what did I tell you, huh? Stop calling me, Ms. J. Lira I am not your boss. You…” She pointed to Lira, “…and you!” Then she pointed to Damien. “You two are my friends and my family.” Then Arabella pointed her heart. “So, go on… take care of Damien. I swear I can manage.” Arabella waved her hand at Lira then walked in a zigzag while she kept on burping.

Lira was left without a choice.

She looked at Arabella’s back who was trying to walk in the correct direction and at the same time trying to gain her balance not to stumble.

“Arabella, don’t leave me….”
