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

Chapter 187: Roller Coaster

“Ta-dah!” Trishia greeted Kelly with her favorite cake. She purposely visited her in Bill’s house so she

could also see Bill. She missed him a lot like she felt dying when she could not see him today.

“Trishia, what a surprise!” Kelly smiled warmly seeing the decadent cake from her favorite baker.

Trishia strode closer to hug and kiss Kelly but she secretly rolled her eyes at her back.

‘Hmmm… witch!’ She was cursing Kelly in her mind. If not for her Bill, she would not pretend to be kind

to Kelly.

“Mom, I’m here because I missed you and Bill.” She expressed in her sweetest tone. Trishia could tell

that she became a very good actress from time to time. She smiled proudly thinking of her best acting

skills.

“Oh, darling. I’m glad you visited me but I’m sorry to tell you that Bill is not here.” Kelly announced

preparing to taste the cake.

Trishia’s smile suddenly faded. She went there with a good vibe thinking that she could be with Bill

again only to find out that he wasn’t there.

“Argggg….!”

Controlling her anger, Trishia smiled sweetly. She had to act the sweet confident lady in front of Kelly

always as she couldn’t afford to offend her. For now, Kelly was the only person she could use.

Kelly is her shield and weapon.

“It’s okay mom. You know I also want to have time with you.” She uttered sweetly but deep inside she

was annoyed wasting her time with her.

“Thank you, darling. Then let’s have a bite of the cake.” Kelly offered.

They sat and started to eat the cake. “How’s your wound?” Kelly asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry mom. I’m fine though it’s still aching a little, it’s manageable.” She answered like she was

a pity.

“Hmmm… you really are very tough,” Kelly remarked in contentment.

“Well, I can catch a bullet for Bill if I have to.” Trishia proudly uttered. She knew Kelly always liked to

hear those words. Kelly always wanted to assure that she loves her son.

“Come on. You don’t need to say that. I already know Trishia. Please do not get tired of loving Bill.”

Kelly smiled at her in satisfaction.

“Where is Bill, mom? Is he in the office?” Trishia was longing to ask.

“He is on a business trip with that woman and his son,” Kelly answered with a pissed tone.

Kelly’s words were like sharp-pointed blades slowly pierced into her ears. She felt envious and intense

anger.

That woman!

Trishia was already exploding inside but still maintaining her fake smile in front of Kelly. She had to

make Arabella disappear from Bill’s life or else she would ruin all her plans. Bill belongs only to her and

no one could interfere with them.

“Don’t worry darling, I think they are coming back today. So just stay here until dinner. Will you?”

Seeing Trishia’s lost expression, Kelly quickly pacified her.

Kelly’s words were like music to her ears now.

“Sure, mom.” She would never refuse such a good offer.

Trishia smiled hearing the good news. Finally, she would see Bill again.

Before she went there, she had pampered herself. She went to a spa. Got a good massage, waxed,

manicure, and pedicure. She shopped for new dresses and went to a salon for her hair and make-up.

She wanted to be perfect in Bill’s sight. Luckily her effort today would not be put in vain.

F City.

Arabella was fixing Adam. Today, Adam begged to go to the biggest theme park in the city with his

parents before they fly back to Capital Z.

As she was combing his hair, Arabella couldn’t help thinking about the scene at the lobby last night.

“Bill,” Arabella uttered with nervousness. He wore a dangerous expression in his calmness. She never

thought that he would follow her there after all her violent beatings at him.

“Stay here. I will deal with him.” Eric quickly said but when he was about to leave her, “No. I will deal

with him. I don’t want to cause any trouble for you.” She uttered almost whispering then she quickly

strode away but Eric followed her.

Bill looked at them with scorching eyes. Arabella just walked past Bill but he suddenly grabbed her

wrist.

“Let me go.” She muttered enough to be heard by Bill. The four guests were still in the place and she

didn’t want to make a chaotic scene.

Bill didn’t reply but his grip tightened that could crush her bone.

“Let her go.” With a deep serious voice, Eric sounded behind Arabella. He felt angry seeing the

expression of Arabella. She was hurting by Bill’s grip but she didn’t complain.

“Mr. Grant. Mind your own business.” Bill's scorching eyes switched onto Eric.

“No. You are hurting her.” Eric wanted to snatch Bill’s arm to let go of Arabella but before Eric’s hand

could settle, Bill let go a heavy blow on Eric’s face.

“Bill!” Arabella shouted in panic. Eric didn’t expect the attack.

“Back off!” Bill angrily shouted at him but Eric had no fear of Bill as he still strode forward and grabbed

Bill’s arms again to let him go of Arabella.

Arabella was stunned by Eric’s bravery and courage but at the same time, she was worried about him.

Eric was willing to get hurt for her. She panicked as she knew Bill could kill him in this kind of situation.

Enraged, Bill gave Eric another blow. Eric with a bleeding mouth took a step backward controlling

himself not to fight back. In the first place, he knew Arabella was married to Bill as Bill announced it at

the party, and with a little investigation, it was confirmed and they also had a son.

As an educated professional businessman, he knew his place but he could not stand to see Arabella

was getting hurt by her husband. For some unexplainable reason, he wanted to save and protect her.

With the palpable scene in the lobby, the manager and a group of security guards came running in

panic.

The hotel manager thought that it was just an ordinary brawling with random guests but she was

shocked to see the two major stockholders in the hotel were fighting in the lobby.

“Mr. Sky, Mr. Grant, It’s nice to see you here.” The old manager uttered with big cold sweats on his

forehead. He was awarded as the best manager for 5 consecutive years but for the first time, he didn't

know what to do.

The two men just looked at him then looked at each other again with fires in their eyes.

“Mr. Sky…” The manager sounded again trying his best to solve the problem.

“What?!” Bill’s voice was deep and dangerous that the manager shivered and even the guards.

“Listen, I don’t want to see this man here again in this hotel,” Bill ordered indignantly.

The manager wiped his cold sweats on his forehead with his white handkerchief.

“Huh!” Eric chuckled mockingly.

“Mr. Sky, Mr. Grant is …” The manager staggered to say something but he was cut. He wanted to

explain that Eric was also their major stockholder.

“I will buy his share or I will pull out my share or I will buy this hotel. Call the owner now!” Bill ordered

with controlled anger but his tone was screaming his wrath.

The manager trembled in fear while he looked at Eric for help.

“Just do as he said.” Eric winked at the manager. The manager politely bowed and exited quickly with

the securities. He was very thankful to Eric that he had the reason to escape from the chaotic scene.

The securities followed quickly also trying to escape from them. The two men were untouchables and

they were not allowed to touch them even if it meant for peace and security.

The four guests in the lobby were also alarmed by the scene but they didn’t bother to be too nosy.

Feeling everything wasn’t right, Arabella forcefully snatched her hand from Bill then she ran off leaving

the two men in the lobby.

She stormed back to Adam’s room and locked the door. Then, she went to the balcony and heaved a

sigh of frustration.

“You have a choice, Arabella. I hope you will make a good choice.” Then, Eric’s words flashed across

her mind. She cupped her face with her two hands blowing some strands of her hair that landed on her

face.

The air was getting colder. Arabella stayed on the balcony taking the time she needed.

Sooner, she had to make a choice.

On the other side of the building, Eric was also watching the city light from his balcony while drinking

another glass of wine. The hotel had a twin building and Eric occupied the other penthouse. Feeling the

pain on his face, he smiled. He smiled because the time with Arabella was real. He felt amazing with

her. If only he saw her first, not Bill. Regret started to invade his heart but he smiled thinking how he

went crazy over a girl tonight.

At least for tonight, he felt something desirable in his heart.

F City Theme Park.

The Sky family together with Bill’s men dressed in civilian were strolling in the theme park. Adam

wanted to experience family bonding in a theme park with the crowd.

Holding his parent’s hands while walking, Adam felt thankful and great to have a complete family.

Trying to suppress her annoyance with Bill, Arabella decided to enjoy Adam’s company only. Bill was

the same. They were not in a speaking term and Adam could feel it.

“Mom, Dad, I wanted us to ride a roller coaster,” Adam sounded with his sweetest smile. Arabella

leaned over to Adam. “Son, are you sure?” Arabella looked at the track and she felt already dizzy.

“Let’s go.” Bill suddenly butted in with a tease. Even blended in the crowd, he was still stunning with his

figure and good look. He was wearing a black ray-ban and his tall hot figure, made him look like a sexy

European model.

“Mom, please?” Adam begged like an adorable cute puppy.

Arabella smirked and nodded.

“Yes!” Adam couldn’t hide his excitement and pulled his parents' hands to the booth.

The carriage could only carry 2 persons so Adam entered the first car then Arabella followed. “Mom, I

will be okay here. Please sit with dad at the next carriage.” Adam uttered wearing his sunny smile.

Bill was already elegantly settled in the next car behind Adam. His expression was serious like he was

looking at the horizon. No one could tell what he was thinking. Is he thinking of his bonds and stocks?

He seemed to just comply with his son’s request. Bill Sky in a theme park was unbelievable how much

more on a roller coaster?

The world-renowned theme park was huge and one of its kind. It became the tourist spot of the city.

Different races came with their families to enjoy the park’s leisure activities, various attractions, and

world-class amenities.

Arabella didn’t want to sit beside Bill but there’s no other empty car so she quickly jumped inside the

carriage with Bill.

Though it was a sunny day, Arabella suddenly felt cold beside him. Then, their car started to move

slowly. Arabella gripped tightly on the steel bar as she closed her eyes. It was her and Adam’s first

roller coaster ride. In just a quick second the car moved fast up to its fastest speed.

“Ahhhhh!” Adam happily screamed while raising his hands in the air. He was having a lot of fun.

Arabella could not open her eyes. She could feel every drop, lift, turn, and roll. She tightened her grip

on the bar when someone held her hand. Without opening her eyes, she knew Bill was holding her

hand.

She couldn’t deny that the warmth from his hand had made her calm. She felt safe and secured so she

released her hands on the steel bar then held his hand with her two hands tight not wanting to let his

hand go. She felt scared without his hand.

Finally, the ride had ended. Arabella heaved a sigh of relief. Her heartbeat became stable. She slowly

opened her eyes and it landed on her hands still gripping Bill’s right hand.

She panickily let go of his hand and stood up shy. Bill smirked at her while Adam had an overwhelming

smile on his face seeing his two stubborn parents.

“Mom, I want to eat ice cream on a cone.” Adam requested.

“Sure, honey! Let me buy you one.” Arabella felt her cheeks were still burning. She hated herself for

what happened. Last night, she released her anger by hitting him so badly but today, she held his hand

so tight afraid of letting it go. Wanting to escape for a moment, she volunteered to look for an ice cream

bar to breathe a little and ease her embarrassment.

“Yes! Chocolate ice cream for me.” Adam excitedly claimed. Arabella smiled at his boy who was full of © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

vigor then strode away without looking at Bill. She left them sitting on the bench and she even escape

from Bill's men as she didn't want to be followed.

She decided to find a shortcut and less crowded path. Her thought was still with Bill’s hand and her

hands holding it tight. She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts and instead enjoy the view and the

fresh air in the park when someone deliberately blocked her way.

Arabella looked at the man quickly only to see a familiar face. Arabella’s heart suddenly pumped fast.

She knew the man was bringing great danger.
