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

Chapter 434: The Irresistible Feeling

“Boss, I got a lead. Bill Sky… Bill Sky is still alive.” Greta announced seeing Mark eating in the dining

room quietly.

He was always eating alone like he wanted to be reminded that he had nothing because of his brother.

His father abandoned him and he was not worthy of their acceptance.

Mark was living inside the sturdy walls he built around him.

His life was too dark because of the walls surrounding him and revenge was all he wanted.

“Hmmm…” He just answered Greta with a hum like he was not interested in the topic.

“What is our next plan now?” Greta was so excited about their next move.

She missed killing Bill Sky but she swore that there would be no lapses the next time around.

She would make sure that all people who offended them would be together in hell including Bill Sky,

Trishia Meyer, Adam Sky, and Arabella Jones if she would put herself in the situation.

“You will know soon, Greta,” Mark answered continuing his eating quietly.

“Okay,” Greta nodded repeatedly. She didn’t like Mark’s delaying things.

If she had to step up just to finish everything, she would do it.

She could not wait.

They had to do something while Bill was still wounded in the hospital.

“But… are you sure? You know… your brother is paralyzed now. We can attack him or do things that

could make him paralyzed if you know what I mean?” Feeling disappointed, Greta didn’t want to give

up on Mark’s decision.

Sometimes, Mark listened to her so she was hopeful, this time, he would hear her.

“Greta… relax and trust me on this. My brother isn’t an ordinary man. Never underestimate him. The

more he is wounded the more he is vigilant to everything and the more you have to be careful.” Mark

sounded so sure about his analysis. Who would know better than his own brother?

Greta nodded.

She agreed to him but her impulse was just too hard to control.

She wanted to go to the hospital and finished what she started.

If not Bill Sky, maybe she could take the boy.

Either the two, Greta would feel relieved.

“You are the boss…” As she always said to him, Greta released a smirk to Mark but her thoughts were

just in around her head.

Mark looked at Greta like he was studying her keenly.

She was always loyal to him. He knew it but there was something in her that changed.

For now, he could not tell but he would surely know it in the long run.

“By the way, where did you get the news about my brother?” Mark asked while putting the last scoop of

the spoon in his mouth.

Greta halted.

She didn’t expect Mark would ask that and she didn’t have an answer prepared.

Obviously, she couldn’t tell him that the Senator had informed her.

Mark didn’t know about her connection with the Senator.

He didn’t know that she was talking to the Senator as the senator didn’t want him to know as well. He

forbade her to spill about them as he wanted to take some time to say to Mark that he was their

supporter.

He would help Mark to enter the Sky Corporation and snatch the throne of Bill Sky.

The Senator promised her this which was the reason she was working with the senator secretly.

“Ahhh… I dig in… the net…” Greta collected her cool and answered Mark quickly lifting her shoulders

and hands then she smirked.

“Hmmm…” Mark answered.

He nodded and smirked at her too.

He looked at his phone on the table beside him.

Before he ate and before she came, Mark browsed the internet for any updates about Bill but he didn’t

find anything.

He was sure, Bill mandated his men to block all news about him making Greta’s words conflict with the

situation.

“Okay,” Mark answered plainly before he got the white napkin and wiped his mouth.

Just right after he put the napkin down on the table, they heard the doorbell ringing.

They had a visitor and a visitor in the house was unusual.

Very unusual.

Mark had no friends.

He never brought anyone in the house except for Greta and only Mr. Hendrick was his servant.

The two other servants were just Mr. Hendrick’s on call and they had their own door for servants.

Mark quickly stood up and stopped Greta to come out.

He had a bad feeling about this. Mark quickly looked at his phone for his CCTV outside.

Greta looked at it too.

Then they both jolted.

Cops were outside the mansion.

Mr. Hendrick was already standing in front of the door staring at the small screen on the wall.

It seemed he was hesitating to open the door.

Mark ran to him quickly and signaled Mr. Hendrick to shut his mouth.

Then he grabbed Greta and quickly went to the basement.

It was a secret basement where he could hide and only Mr. Hendrick and Greta knew about this.

There, Mark quickly opened the 75 inches screen TV.

It was his CCTV outside.

Mark and Greta keenly watched the video that was playing.

Mr. Hendrick opened the door calmly and he let the cops in.

“Mr. Hendrick?” The officer asked the old man while he got a handcuff behind him. “You are under

arrest.” The cop added and without any moment of delay the other cops grabbed Mr. Hendrick’s hands

then the cop put on a handcuff to Mr. Hendrick.

The old man was shocked and puzzled.

“May I know what is this all about officer?” The old man innocently asked.

He was polite and well-mannered even though he was in a handcuff.

“You are arrested for attempting to poison Mr. Adam Sky. According to our investigation, you are the

only one who sent the Banoffee pie inside Sky’s mansion. That pie had poison and was taken by Mr.

Adam Sky the same day. You are the only person who entered the mansion at that time. All the

investigation was pointing at you, Mr. Hendrick. You have the right to remain silent until you have your

lawyer.” The officer said in a firm tone.

Mr. Hendrick was shocked.

He didn’t know about this.

Greta told him that Mark bought a pie for the Sky family.

He thought that the boy had finally come to his senses.

He had witnessed Mark’s sadness and suffering.

Mr. Hendrick was there for him ever since.

He knew Mark's comeback was something.

He became a secretive boy and he both a friend Greta.

He didn’t know Greta’s identity that much.

Greta was a noisy person.

He just learned that they met each other in the street back when they were kids.

Well, Mr. Hendrick got to use with Greta and he was quite happy to see that Mark had finally someone

that he could call a friend.

Now, it seemed the boy was still full of hatred toward the family who adopted him but Mr. Hendrick

didn’t have the heart to see Mark’s suffering again.

He was already old and had no family.

He treated Mark as his own son.

Now, he wanted him to see that he wasn’t abandoned at all.

He was there with him though his age was for retirement already.

He insisted on being with the boy.

“I admit the crime.” Suddenly, Mr. Hendrick proclaimed in front of the cops.

Mark jolted as he clenched his fists hard and then punched the table’s surface hard.

He knew in his heart that Mr. Hendrick could not do that.

He was the kindest man he knew.

He was the most well-mannered person and the person who took care of him when it should be his

father.

Mr. Hendrick stood up for him so many times.

He never left him even if everyone didn’t want him.

He stayed in the mansion for all the holidays and he made all special meals and gifts for him just to

make him happy.

Mark was angry.

He could not believe that Mr. Hendrick was also taken away from him.

Mark massaged his temple.

He was trying to think and calm himself.

‘Banoffee pie?’

‘Poison?’

‘Mr. Hendrick poisoned Adam?’

‘Why he would do that?’

Mark was caught in a deep mess.

He was trying to find the answer to his questions but it was hard for him as he knew and believed that

Mr. Hendrick was a good person. He would never do that to Adam Sky.

Plus, he was one of the trusted people of the Sky as almost all of his life served the Sky.

Greta on the other hand was bothered the most.

She knew what happened but she could not tell Mark.

All she could do was stay silent.

“Mark, where are you going?” Suddenly, she jumped seeing Mark walking away fast.

She felt the need to chase him otherwise she would be doomed.

“Greta, you stay here. It’s dangerous out there. Remember that you are still wanted.” Mark was striding

fast out of the basement.

“But… where are you going?” Greta asked with her nervousness eating her up.

“I’m going to see Mr. Hendrick,” Mark answered like he was already running out.

Greta chased him.

She couldn’t let him go.

“Mark! Mark!” Greta could call his name when it was really serious. “You can’t go.” She added with a

strong voice.

Mark suddenly stopped.

He turned around to see Greta frowning deeply.

Then he strode back to Greta. “Why? Tell me why Greta?” He asked while his sharp eyes stirred at her.

His voice was angry.

Greta jolted.

She was trying to get the best answer she could have but her mind was bothered by Mark’s stare.

He seemed to know something and was about to tell something.

She wasn’t sure.

“Because… because you said it’s dangerous. I don’t want the cops to suspect you too.” Greta felt

relieved after she answered his question in time.

“Hmm… I am the only family of Mr. Hendrick, Greta. He was with me all the time when it was supposed

to be my father. He never left me, Greta. Now tell me, what will I do? What can I do for Mr. Hendrick?

After all, he did to me, I cannot just sit here and do nothing!” Mark’s voice was angry.

“I understand… I understand…” Greta held Mark's shoulders. “I am here… Don’t forget that, man.”

Greta felt Mark’s heavy heart toward Mr. Hendrick.

What she never liked about Mark was this.

He was a sentimental person and was always attached. “Can you calm down now?” Greta was trying

her best to calm Mark.

She could not let him talk to Mr. Hendrick.

Mark looked at Greta. “You are a good friend and I appreciate that. I hope you won’t betray me in the

future." Mark’s eyes were sharp like he was talking to her conscience.

Greta halted but quickly recovered. “Nah… there’s no way I can betray you. You are my only friend.

Remember that. I am your protector ever since. I am loyal to you.” Greta lied as she spoke confidently

in front of Mark.

Mark heaved a sigh then he nodded.

His expression was still heavy. “I’m just going to rest then I will see Mr. Hendrick. I will handle the cops.

You stay here.” Mark announced seriously then went away without waiting for her reply.

Greta was left in an awful position.

She shook her head as repeatedly as she had no other choice.

Then she got her phone.

In the hospital, Arabella wanted to stay in Bill’s hug forever.

She wanted to be with him.

She didn’t want to leave him.

“Bill…” Still feeling his heartbeat, Arabella sounded soft.

“Hmmm…” He answered.

“Do you remember that you are a person who didn’t like love? I mean, no romance? Just f*ck?

Hahaha…” Arabella was serious but she chuckled remembering his words before.

His words a very long time ago.

After hearing her, Bill chuckled softly too. “I know what you are thinking.” He said coolly. “I know, I didn’t

expect this too. I never thought I would find myself longing for someone who I hated the most. It’s you. I

never saw myself wanting someone so badly like my energy depends on that someone. A woman

whose face always appeared in my mind. You always destruct my mind Arabella and I hated you for

that.” Bill confessed.

Before her met Arabella, he could tell his life was normal.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Everything was on schedule.

He never acts hastily that was why he had always a contract to everything.

He never thought his life would be changed because of one woman.

When Arabella came into his life, it became an unending mess and chaos.

He tried his best to get rid of her but he failed.

He always came back to her. He tried to put all the blame on her for what happened to his father so he

would be angry with her for the rest of his life but he still failed.

The more he got angry with her the more he wanted her.

It was just so lame for him to say that he just wanted to punish her that was why he put her always

under his watch but the truth couldn’t be hidden.

He wanted her to love him.

He didn’t want to see him with another man.

It made him go crazy even if he had no memories of her.

Seeing her with Damien, he wanted to create a big chaos in the hospital.

“What about you? Do you love me?” Bill asked seriously.

Arabella was waiting for this time.

After she knew the truth about Bill saving her and Adam, she wanted him to know her true feeling

toward him.

The feeling she had for him a long time ago.

The irresistible feeling that she tried to hide and forget so many times but she failed.

She wanted to shout it now.

Arabella looked at Bill dearly.

“I never loved someone as I did to you, I love you, Bill Sky. All these years, you are the only man in my

life. I tried my best to forget you but I can't. You are there in my sleep. You are there everywhere. You

hold my heart and my heart only belongs to you and Adam.” Arabella sounded sincere along with her

teary eyes.

After, she couldn't help but kissed him so sweetly.

“What’s the meaning of this, huh??? Why I’m not allowed to enter my husband’s room?” Suddenly,

Trishia’s hysterically shouting outside burst into the room.
