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

Chapter 420: Her Ex-Husband

As usual, Bill was standing dignified with his trench formal coat like he just finished an international

business conference.

His elegance and powerful demeanor were always intimidating to everyone but not the person beside

him.

Not anymore.

“Why are you here?” Trishia’s loud shouting disturbed all souls inside the mansion.

She was like breathing fire as her killer eyes despised Arabella.

She was very pissed with the situation and what she didn’t like the most was seeing Arabella in the

mansion tonight and with Bill Sky. Trishia expected everything from the Senator’s awful encounter and

Bill’s appearance tonight but she never expected Arabella’s presence.

Trishia wasn’t ready for the situation.

She felt her anger was boiling but she had to control it not to offend Bill Sky.

“Sweetheart, why… why… that girl is here? Did she offend you again?” After noticing that she was

already acting crazy, Trishia quickly mellowed her expression and voice going back to the sweet Trishia

but she secretly shot a dagger stare at Arabella.

She wanted her to get out immediately as she was not invited to the dinner and not even their lives.

“Trishia… Senator… I’m sorry for being late. The traffic is too bad,” Finally, Bill spoke with a formal

demeanor and tone.

He seemed not affected by the tension surging up in the air. “I hope I didn’t offend anyone. Also, I have

one guest here. If it’s not too much to ask Senator, that she could dine with us.” Bill formally asked for

the Senator’s permission.

It was just right for him to ask because the Senator invited him and he was the owner of the mansion

that just meant he was the host tonight.

Hearing Bill asked nicely, the Senator couldn’t say no to him.

Plus, in the long run, he knew he would ask more than he simply asked now.

As for Trishia, the Senator looked at her again mocking then he smiled at her meaningfully like his

smile was saying ‘loser!’ to her before he answered Bill, “Sure, no problem. Come! It’s not good to

make the food wait.” The Senator said like there was no tension between them.

Though he was also shocked seeing Arabella Jones, he also felt excited.

Either the two women married Bill Sky, he had his ways to hold them by their necks.

With Arabella, he could always find her weakness and that is her son and her dad.

After hearing the Senator, Bill strode forward but Arabella stood rooted on her spot.

Her expression was hesitant.

She could feel the people around her were just pretending to be nice to her because of Bill Sky.

Trishia could not hide her displeased toward her but then because of Bill, she was controlling her

temper.

Tomorrow was their wedding and Arabella knew Trishia could not mess up with him tonight.

Arabella still felt lost.

She wanted to leave quickly as she never wanted to see these vicious faces ever again.

These people caused all her suffering.

Now, they were acting fine as if nothing happened.

Even Sen. Meyer and Trishia, they were acting cool at each other like they didn’t almost kill each other.

Arabella could only feel hypocrisy toward them.

Who wanted to be inside the Senator’s mansion?

Who even wanted to be with the two vicious people?

Arabella felt suffocated by them but she had to endure it because Bill promised her something in

exchange for her presence at the dinner.

Shortly, Arabella was snapped back to her senses when Bill went back to her and grabbed her arm.

She looked at him like she was asking his permission to leave but Bill’s expression was firmed.

He dragged her and put her to sit on the chair opposite Trishia.

Seeing Bill assisting Arabella, Trishia could not help rolling her eyes at Arabella repeatedly while

gritting her teeth controlling her temper that was going to burst.

She could feel her blood stirring madly and at any moment it would explode.

Her smile showing to everyone that she was sweet but the truth was Trishia was staring at Arabella

and was thinking about how to kill her.

It seemed her pleading wasn’t that effective and she had to eliminate her tonight.

‘Maybe this fork can kill her,’ Trishia thought while she was holding her fork and her deadly eyes

pierced into Arabella.

'A knife can cut her neck and off!’ She continued imagining her neck covered with gushing blood.

‘Poison. Poisoning her food is quick and effective,’ Trishia continued thinking of how she could get rid

of Arabella.

Arabella met Trishia’s eyes.

She could sense Trishia’s eyes were sending her a hideous message.

She was like saying ‘Welcome to the lion’s den! I hope you can go back alive.’ These are the words

that she could read from Trishia’s eyes but Arabella felt worse.

She felt like she was inside a dungeon surrounded by murderous monsters.

They started eating.

Trishia was very active playing a sweet fiancée to Bill.

She was serving him by putting some dishes on his plate.

She even feed him sometimes but Bill stopped her in a polite manner.

Trishia was showing off to everyone that she had a good relationship with her husband-to-be.

Obviously, Arabella had no appetite.

She was forced to go there with Bill and she didn’t know why he had to bring her there.

Earlier, Bill got her.

She was arguing with him the whole time and he was angry at her.

She didn’t want to be inside his car and not even wanted to be with him anymore.

Of course, she already felt the need to protect herself from being hurt by him again.

Everything was clear to her and where she wanted for her future.

No more messing around, forcing, and chasing as she had enough.

As much as possible, she wanted to erase everything about Bill and the people around him except for

Adam.

If there is love left for him, she wanted to kill it just to avoid doing things that she would regret later but

the more she run away from him, the more their fate entangled again.

If what he said was true that he just saw her drinking outside a convenience store then fate worked for

them again.

Fate really works in mysterious ways.

“So, Arabella, since your sister here is going to marry your ex-husband, did you already congratulate

them?” Sen. Meyer suddenly sounded after seeing Arabella silently just tasting one dish and water.

One could easily say that she didn’t feel like eating. Now, the Senator seemed to find someone to make

fun of.

Arabella looked at Bill who was also looking at her.

Trishia looked at the Senator giving him a scolding stare.

Arabella felt she was going to fall deeply in Bill’s dark deep stare.

Trying her best, she averted her gaze to the Senator who was looking at her with a meaningful smile on

his face.

He was eating like he said those words out of curiosity.

“Yeah. I did.” Arabella answered plainly then looked at Bill Sky again.

After she broke her stare and drank some more water.

“Oh… so, I hope there’s no more hurt feelings to the couple.” Sen. Meyer sounded again like he had no

plan to stop.

Arabella looked at the Senator. She was sending a message to him, ‘mind your own business,’ through

her stare but the Senator just smirked.

“No hurt feelings. Bill can marry whoever he wanted.” Arabella replied confidently trying to show

everyone around that she is fine.

The Senator seemed so bored with her answer but nevertheless, he had to stop putting something in

the air or he could already offend Bill Sky.

He continued his eating.

Arabella secretly gathered more air to breathe. She should not be there.

“You told me … you are giving Bill to me wholeheartedly. Why are you with him again?” At this time,

Trishia sounded like she could not hide the question she had been wanting to ask Arabella when she

saw her inside the mansion.

Trishia asked with a sweet tone like she was just talking to a close friend and they were not fighting

over a man.

Arabella smirked at Trishia.

She didn’t know what to answer her because she was true to her words.

Then her stare transferred to Bill Sky who was now elegantly sipping on his wine glass.

“Ask him,” Arabella replied lazily.

She was disgusted by Trishia's sweet acting.

Trishia was dumbfounded.

How could she ask Bill about this?

Of course, she didn’t want to act like a jealous wife because maybe Bill would change his mind about

marrying her.

“I just met her somewhere.” To end the controversy, Bill said plainly.

Explaining wasn’t Bill’s thing. He had given his words and it seemed he didn’t care what people would

take or think about this.

The dinner went silent until it finished.

“So, dad. We are going. I need to have my beauty rest for tomorrow.” Trishia quickly butted in.

She was giggling to go home with Bill and getting rid of Arabella.

Sen. Meyer agreed.

Bill formally thanked the Senator.

Arabella just went out silently without giving any words to the old man.

“Hmmm… Trishia, try to put a knot on your man’s neck before someone can snatch him back.” The

Senator chuckled softly as he whispered at Trishia who was now giggling in annoyance.

She gnashed her teeth toward Sen. Meyer and quickly turned around hooking her arm on Bill’s arm.

When they were outside the mansion, Trishia’s driver was waiting for her.

Arabella just followed quietly.

“Trishia, you go home first. I still have matters to attend to.” Bill announced.

“What? With her?” Trishia panicked pointing to Arabella.

Bill nodded.

“Bill, our wedding is tomorrow. What are you going to do with her? Huh!” Trishia could not help but

released a self-deprecating smile. She felt insulted by the situation.

With Arabella’s presence around Bill, she could not get any calm.

“Adam… he wanted to see his mom,” Bill answered plainly. His eyes were serious.

“Then, let me go with you,” Trishia replied in a hurry.

Her tone had no calmness.

She felt nervous and deep inside she was cursing Adam because he is the only one that could bring

his parents together.

He is their tie and it pissed her off so much thinking about this.

“Trishia, don’t you trust me?” After backing out from her car, she jolted hearing Bill.

She was at a loss.

Of course, she didn’t want Arabella and Bill to be together.

What if Bill would change his mind about their wedding?

What if he suddenly remembered Arabella?

What if Adam would make a way to bring his parent together?

All her what-ifs were like poison to her body.

She felt insanely mad about the situation but she could not push herself.

Bill would get mad at her and this could result in him backing out from their wedding.

“I trust you but I don’t trust that girl.” Though she wanted to give in to Bill but Trishia couldn’t just hold

her jealousy toward Arabella. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Arabella just smirked at her mockingly.

“Are you afraid of your own ghost, Trishia?” Arabella said without minding Bill’s thoughts of her. “Don’t

worry, I am not gonna bite your husband-to-be.” She added jokingly.

Trishia looked at Arabella like she wanted to tangle her to death.

“Okay, sweetheart but please, be home early. I will be waiting for you.” Trishia had no choice but to

agree though she was very perplexed inside.

Bill assisted her to get inside the backseat then her driver drove away.

Bill then went inside his car without opening Arabella’s door.

She never complained.

Arabella entered inside of her own will.

Tonight, she would see her son, Adam and she was very excited.

The boy just reached the city to attend his father’s wedding tomorrow.

When he called, the timing was just so right.

Arabella was inside Bill’s car earlier.

At that time, Bill was angry with her after she said about forgetting all they had.

With his sharp eyes, he wanted to punish her but his phone suddenly rang. Without asking the caller,

Arabella knew it was her boy.

“Adam! My son, is that you?” Arabella could not hold it as she blurted his name.

“Mommy? Mommy! Dad, please give it to mommy. I want to speak with her, please.” Adam ordered in a

hurry.

They talked for a while. She was crying and laughing talking to her boy. She was very excited to see

him so when Bill asked her to accompany him to the mansion, she had no choice but to agree with him.

Bill promised to bring her to Adam after dinner.

Shortly, they arrived in his penthouse.

Arabella frowned deeply as she knew Adam was in his big white mansion.

“Why are we here?” She asked puzzled.

Instead of answering her, Bill went out of the car. Arabella felt off as she was looking forward to seeing

her son.

She was so excited to see Adam again but it seemed that Bill was delaying it.

Bill was very insensitive and she couldn’t tell if he was doing it on purpose.

Arabella quickly chased him. “Bill, you swore to me. Now, bring me to my son.” She ordered hysterically

as she strode faster to get to him in time for the elevator to close.

Bill was silent but his domineering demeanor was screaming.

“Bill, please. I want to see my son, now.” She ordered and pleaded at the same time.

Instead of answering her, Bill turned to her as he strode closer to her.

She had to take a few steps back until her back pressed against the wall.

Bill then crouched toward her.

His handsome face was getting so close to him.

She quickly blocked her lips with her hands thinking Bill would kiss her as her eyes widened.

“You smell.... beer, are you going to face Adam like that?” Bill then said smirking with eyes narrowed.

Arabella quickly blushed in embarrassment.

When the elevator opened, the elegant interior of Bill's penthouse greeted them.

He walked away from her and went directly to his study room.

She smelled her coat and he was right.

She smell awful so she quickly went inside the bathroom to get rid away of her smell.

After, she wore a bathrobe and went outside to find some clothes.

She knew she had clothes there which Bill prepared for her before.

When she opened the closet, her eyes sparked as she found what exactly she was looking for.

She got a simple dress but when she was about to wear it, it was suddenly snatched.

"You don't need clothes for tonight," Bill was already standing behind her. Her handsome ex-husband

sounded so serious.

Arabella was quickly taken aback.
