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

"Bill, where are you going?!" Kelly asked angrily and in panic seeing her son was going out somewhere with his terrible condition.

George, his great assistant was putting him a coat.

Bill didn't say a word.

He seemed not to want to talk to his mother or his mind was just so preoccupied with something that he missed hearing her or even noticing her presence. Either way, clearly, Bill was not in the mood.

After getting a call from Lira, he quickly sat up and took off his hospital gown.

"Bill, son! Your doctors were still not letting you go out with your condition. You are still not well for God's sake! Can you listen to me please for once?!" Kelly was worried about him. Her heart was thumping like a drum.

She could not just let him do whatever he wanted as his condition was not yet to be called stable.

"Let's go, George." Bill didn't answer her instead he walked through the open door with George behind.

"Bill! Stop!" Kelly shouted angrily.

Her eyes were in rage like she would not let him go whatever happened.

She would do anything in her power to hold her son.

With his two hands inside his side pockets, Bill halted but he didn't turn around to face his mother.

"If you walk away, forget about me as your mother!" Talking to her son's back, Kelly's tone was of full dominance.

Her eyeballs were bulging from their sockets due to her strong complex emotions.

She was serious about not letting him go.

She felt deprived of being respected and not being listened to by her own son.

All she cared about was him as he was the only son she had.

At this time, Bill slowly turned around to face his mother and see her clearly.

His expression was dark.

He walked back to her calmly and stopped in front of her.

His footsteps broke the pin-dropped silence in the room but it was building more tension in the air.

He then took his mother's hands and looked at her in the eyes deeply like he was searching for her kind soul. The woman he once knew when he was young.

The sweetest and kindest woman he remembered, and that is his mother.

Kelly was stunned.

It was a long time ago when her son held her hands.

She felt his warmth like Ed, his father was holding her.

Bill was just a 13-year-old boy at that time when he held her hand and now he was a fine grown-up man.

Her son's warmth was something she could not ignore.

It was like sending her a message that he needed her.

Kelly was taken aback.

"I never want to offend you, Mom. I understand your genuine effort to protect me." Bill talked sincerely looking into her eyes then heaved a heavy sigh before he continued, "However, in order for me to be your good son again, I need to restore the goodness in my heart and that comes from love. A love that made the biggest impact in my life." Bill's sincere eyes were fixated on his mother. "That love is Arabella, Mom.

I love her deeply like I'm going to die if I can't see her. I'm dying, can't you see? I want to be with her. I want to have her to live this life you wanted for me." Bill added not leaving her eyes. Kelly felt she saw her little boy.

Bill was always a self-sufficient boy who never asked or bothered her about something.

He never asked for toys and was always satisfied with what he received.

He never asked for help from his parents.

He relied on himself for everything until today.

His little boy had now fully grown up and he just asked for only one thing in his entire existence.

His love...

Arabella Jones

Upon fully realizing all these, Kelly's heart clenched hard.

Her tears came down as she heaved.

Shaking, she clenched her son's hands and nodded.

She looked at him in the eye and said, "Go, you deserve this kind of love, son. Go now." Kelly said in a supportive tone as she smiled at him along with her tears.

Hearing his mom's approval, Bill kissed his mom's hands then he hugged her tight. "Thank you, Mom. I love you." He said behind her and hurriedly left with a satisfied heart. Kelly was left with her smile and tears.

She only wished her son to get the love he wanted all his life successfully, she saw Bill as a hardworking and goal-oriented man. Growing up, he took the responsibility of feeding a hundred thousand employees they had. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He had no time to play.

He took this responsibility as his life.

He never ever thought of having his own family.

With this, he had no serious relationship with women this was why Ed decided to pressure him to get married and have an heir and be his successor.

With her thoughts, Kelly's smile widened.

Now, she felt happy that Bill had found his real happiness.

She was deeply moved by her son's sincerity.

It was the first time she heard him begging her for something like it was the most precious thing to him.

Bill made her feel what his heart's utmost desire.

It was the only love he needed.

The love that her son deserved.

The love that no one could replace.

It was Arabella Jones and she alone her son ever wanted.

Who is she to hinder her son's happiness?

Who is she to deprive him of the love he only needed to become a good son and a father to Adam?

Who is she to deprive Adam of having a mother?

Who is she to destroy her son and grandson's family?

A huge wave of guilt seemed to drown her realizing all her mistakes.

She felt terrible about herself.

Kelly hoped that Arabella could forgive her and give her son another chance to love her.

She hoped it was not too late for her son.

She sobbed and cried in silence realizing all her mistakes.

Admittedly, she was blinded by her bitterness after the death of her husband.

She needed to blame someone to appease her sadness and divert it to hate and anger.

She didn't realize that by hating Arabella Jones, she was also destroying her son's and grandson's life.

How could she be so selfish?

"Ed, I'm sorry," Kelly muttered apologetically in the thin air. "I was blinded. Please our son. Please protect him. All I want is his happiness." She added sincerely. After, she made a quick trip to the cemetery.

"I'm so sorry, Jaime." Tearful, Kelly knelt on the ground sincerely asking for her best friends' forgiveness.

She was Arabella's mom. "I will not ask you to go on easy on me because I have sinned you unforgivably but still, I was hoping you to forgive me. You are my only best friend. Please, I hope you can spare my son from my sin to your family and accept him as your daughter's lover. He is a good man just like my husband and you will definitely not regret it if you will allow my son to take care of your daughter and grandson. Adam is just like Bill. He is very smart and good-looking. You will surely love him and adore him, Jaime. Don't worry, I promise to take care of him and your daughter, and from now on... no one could hurt them as long as I live not even my son. I give you my word my beloved, Jaime." Kelly held her chest with her palm to swear.

She sinned her family a lot specially Jaime's daughter.

Now, she wanted to fix everything with Arabella and she hoped it was not too late.

"William!" Meanwhile, at the airport, Lira shouted to stop Damien.

Damien halted quickly.

He frowned deeply like he could not believe that someone had called him the name he had self-disposed after a long time ago.

It was his darkest secret and no one knew about it except for his grandmother, the surgeon.

She gave him his new face and a new identity as Damien Lewis but she had already died because of old age.

So there's no way for him to be identified by others especially...

Especially Lira...

Damien pushed the wheelchair forward again thinking that he just heard one of his delusions.

He was so sure that no one knew him by that old name.

"William Zimmer, I know it's you." Lira had said it again.

This time, Damien fully stopped.

This wasn't any coincidence anymore.

He turned around to find Lira standing behind him.

Damien was greatly shocked.

He looked at her like carrying the biggest question mark in the world.

It had been so many years that he successfully got to enter Arabella's life without any complications.

He managed to take his medicine regularly just to be the woman he loved but why Lira knew his real name?

That this mean Arabella knew him too?

Are they sabotaging him for a long time?

Is the joke on him?

Damien was so troubled about it.

He knew Lira came from the orphanage and even though he slept with her multiple times, he never remembered himself telling her about his dark past.

Even though he usually got drunk, he still knew his words and he was sure about it.

No alcohol could ruin his plan to be with Arabella.

As much as possible, he wanted to maintain the Damien Lewis identity whom Arabella was familiar with.

The man who helped her a lot.

The man who was there in time she needed someone the most.

It was never a coincidence.

He learned about it when she saw Arabella's ticket in her drawer.

His grandmother helped him to escape and fly after his face surgery to the same city where Arabella intended to go.

He planned it all along to enter her life and be the hero she could rely on.

And his plans worked until Arabella decided to come back to Capital Z for her mother.

At that time, Damien spent the whole night smashing his head to the wall.

"Lira, what on earth are you doing here?" Damien asked hurriedly after recovering from his shock. "Why?..." He wanted to ask her why she was out of prison. Why she is at the airport? Lastly, why she knew him? He knew Lira as an ordinary girl in the orphanage.

Those questions stood still in his mind when policemen stepped into the area with loaded weapons pointing at him.

Footsteps... more footsteps came in making a loud commotion in the area.

When they stopped, he was already surrounded by men in uniform.

Damien took a heavy breath.

Instinctively, he felt betrayed by his trusted friend, Lira as she was the only one about his plan.

She obviously told the cops about his plan.

"Damien, you let go of my wife now!" That voice... that demanding voice was too familiar that he needed not to see the person to know the owner of the voice. Bill Sky...

Hearing him, Damien could not find his calm anymore.

Lira didn't just tell his plan to the cops but also connived with Bill Sky to capture him.

Damien felt very angry with Lira.

He looked at her with despising eyes.

He trusted her but now he felt Lira had played a trick on him.

She put herself in prison and admitted the crime he made but it was not what he thought it was.

He felt Lira got his trust to know his plan and after, make him captured.

He was pissed to death by her.

Gritting his teeth hard, he looked at Lira with a sharp penetrating stare.

Lira stood still even though she was obviously shaking inside.

She was nervous as hell and it took her a big amount of courage to contact Bill Sky and tell him about Damien's plan.

He had gone so far and she could not keep her silence anymore.

All she wanted was to stop Damien from doing more mistakes in his life.

She cared for him a lot.

On the other hand, Damien could hold his temper because of the long-time medication but whenever he was tensed and pressured, his mind f*cked up.

He started freaking out.

Lira could read Damien.

Her nervousness was eating her up as she recalled something.

"Thank you, Lira, for what you did." One day, Damien said when he visited her in the prison.

It was the first and his last visit after a week she was held in prison.

Lira didn't reply.

She opted not to see his face and likewise, he could not see her.

They had a tin wall in the middle while he talked to her.

"I know you love me but you also know that I only love Arabella and no one else can replace her," Damien added in a serious tone.

Lira just gulped tensely but she did not talk even a single word.

She just listened.

"I am here to say goodbye." Damien continued. "Arabella and I will fix our life together in F city on the 28th of this month.

We will leave this country and live the life we wanted together." Damien stopped for a while like he was contemplating before he continued.

His voice had traced sadness for Lira maybe because he saw Lira as an extraordinary person who he could rely on but sooner he had to leave her.

With all Lira had done for him, Damien could not question her loyalty to him.

He talked like she was his most trusted person in the world. "Lira, I am really grateful to have you. Your sincerity and love. Trust me, I tried but I only have my eyes and heart on her. I am sorry." Damien ended in a deep sad tone.

Lira felt her eyes go heavy.

Just after the next second, her tears started to fall.

Her heart was clenched so hard and she felt her knees were shaking.

She put them on the chair and hugged them to calm her knees.

Then she put her head on her knees letting the tears coming out freely from her eyes.

"Please don't cry for me, Lira. I am not worth it." Damien spoke firmly.

Though she cried silently, Damien was too sensitive to know it.

He seemed to expect this from her and judging from his tone, he didn't like it.

He didn't like Lira's cry for him and he hated to hear her cry.

Lira held her tears.

Just thinking about Damien leaving her alone, she felt her heart pierced into many sharp blades.

It was bleeding tremendously and it was too painful for her to handle.

She started questioning her fate.

Why she met Damien again?

And now, why they had to go apart?

On that day, Damien left her without hearing a single word from her.

"Don't you love me anymore, William?" Lira asked in the air along with her hurtful tears.
