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

Chapter 366: After Her Tears

“Guys, I don’t think I want to marry. I want to slay this chick first.” One of the men sounded.

The giggling of men in the room was too loud but Eric and Hanna were just staring at each other like

they didn’t hear any noise.

They seemed caught in a different world like they were the only people who exist.

Their eyes were like talking to each other but in a complex way.

Eric’s eyes were full of hate while Hanna’s were explaining.

She was hoping that Eric could hear her out.

She wanted to clear her name and she wanted to see once again the Eric she once knew.

The cool and down-to-earth Eric.

He never judged her for being so poor and he didn’t care what was her work and her poor status in

society.

He accepted her just the way she was but everything changed.

It was her fault but at least Eric should have had the heart to listen to her explanation.

But now, Eric had changed completely into a different person.

The person she was scared of.

There was mocking on his face and some kind of a threat with extreme anger.

By how Eric dangerously stared at her, Hanna already felt petrified.

She just wanted to run away from the room because she didn’t want to be humiliated.

“Miss? Are you not gonna dance? Are you, okay?” Another man sounded impatient. “Eric, I think this

girl knows you. Do you have some kind of a relationship that we don’t know?” Along with this man’s

voice were chuckles from the rest of the men.

The scene of Eric and Hanna exchanging stares was palpable to anyone.

“Hmmm… I’m sorry but I have to go.” Hanna didn’t feel so right.

She felt she had to go otherwise, she would be the clown of the group.

She didn’t want that to happen as she was a dance performer and not a clown comedian.

Eric would surely add to her humiliation.

His expression was telling her that he would never save her from his friends and Hanna didn’t want

also to expect that from Eric.

She just wanted to leave them immediately.

As she was about to turn around, “Stop!” She heard Eric’s voice.

With Eric’s tone, she felt she was a slave strictly mandated by her owner.

Hanna halted as her heart was trembling.

Her breathing was changing as her nervousness was already eating her up.

She didn’t know what to do.

With Eric’s voice, a deafening silence invaded the room.

She was sure Eric’s friends were also shocked by his sudden mandate as he seemed the only one who

was drinking solemnly before she came inside the room.

After a while, Hanna could feel footsteps coming her way.

Her heartbeat was racing very fast.

She wanted to raise her feet to run as fast as she can as she could already sense danger was coming

her way.

In her job, she could only rely on her vigilant senses for her safety, and tonight she felt the same way.

Her instinct panicked trying to figure out something to escape the place until she realized that it was too

late.

A strong hand suddenly grabbed her slender wrist.

She quickly looked at the owner of the hand and she was stunned to see Eric was already standing

beside her.

He was tall and had a sexy figure wearing his black coat and tie.

The rest of the men were also wearing professional suits so one could easily say that they came from

work and decided to hang out first before going home.

“E…Eric…” She muttered softly.

Her voice mixed the cold air but enough for him to hear it.

Eric’s hard expression didn’t change.

He just smirked at her mockingly and his sharp eyes were already giving her a ‘guilty’ verdict even

without any trial.

Without saying any single word, Eric dragged her back in front.

She tried to escape from him by getting her arm back was Eric didn’t release her instead he tightened

his grip on her wrist.

It pained her but Eric seemed not to care.

“What’s with the drama, Hanna?” Eric finally spoke.

His tone was full of sarcasm. “Why are you running away?” He added full of mockery. “Don’t you think

we can pay for your performance? Look! We are a group of young billionaires here and I can say that

we are more capable of paying you more and capable to make you satisfied in bed compared to those

old dirty men who you had slept with.” Eric had no sympathy for her as he was insulting her in front of

his colleagues.

Even the rest of the men were silent.

They seemed to sense the awkwardness in the air and they didn’t want to offend Eric.

“Paakkkk!” After Eric’s words, a thunderclap slap sound echoed inside the room.

Along with a heavy heart, Hanna slapped Eric with all her might.

She was full of hate for what Eric had said.

She was not expecting that the man she loved could humiliate her in front of other people.

The man who she expected to comfort, support, and protect her would be the one to her down in front

of other people.

It shattered her heart.

She felt hit by his words like she was the lowest creature living in the world.

It made her blame herself for why she was being born with poor life.

Her tears came out dripping because of anger and sadness mixed into one.

Now that she had slapped him, Hanna didn’t want to defend herself.

All Eric said was partly true.

She deceived old men to get money from them because her mother was dying at that time.

She was pushed by the situation because of the sickness of her mother.

She had to undergo major operations.

She used her body to work 5 jobs a day or more.

All jobs that were offered to her, she never refused just to pay for her mother’s operation but it wasn’t

enough.

Even if she died working, her salary wasn’t enough not even half to compensate for her mother’s

medication.

So, she had no other choice but to play with her fate just to save her dying mother and at the same

time support her brother’s living.

Though she never wanted to take offers from different men, she had no choice at all.

She had to live, her mother had to live as well as her brother.

Because of her figure and beauty, Hanna was offered a lot of money at that time by different men.

She played and tricked them.

She made them drunk and she always put their drinks a sleeping pill so they would easily go to sleep.

They chose old men so she could easily make them believe that they slept together in the same bed

when the fact was, they were just sleeping soundly and she went away after she put them to sleep.

Hanna was very good at tricking old desperate men but never young ones like Eric Grant.

She never tricked him.

She could not admit her real identity to him because she was afraid that she might not able to see him

again.

She was sure of that and since he was the first man who made her heart happy, she wanted to enjoy

and live in the moment where they were okay.

They were in love with each other.

There was affection in their eyes for each other.

These were Hanna wanted to protect but she failed.

The moment she decided to save Eric was the time she gave up all her happiness but she had no

regrets about protecting him.

“Do you really think that you can just escape from me after you did?” Eric’s dangerous voice snapped

Hanna back to her senses.

She looked at him petrified of what she had done.

Then Eric suddenly grabbed away her mask without any warning.

He threw her mask to the ground.

“Wow!” That was the only time again that the rest of the men sounded.

Their tones were astonished by Hanna’s beauty.

Feeling so humiliated, Hanna quickly looked down.

Eric chuckled mockingly. “What’s wrong Hanna? Trying to hide your sinner face again?” Eric calmly

asked but his mockery was screaming then he suddenly lifted her chin to face the crowd.

Hanna was trying to control herself not to break down.

She was not treated this way before.

In her everyday life in the slum, the weak had no place there.

Hanna was always tough and strong so she would not get easily bullied but with Eric, she was lost.

Eric was bullying her but she could not react.

She was accepting all her humiliation and she was not even defending herself.

It wasn’t her anymore.

She changed with Eric around.

“Eric, this chick is very hot and beautiful. Should we start to bid who can take her home?” One of the

men sounded very excited.

His expression was still astonished by Hanna’s face.

He seemed to become a pervert in one look.

“Yeah! I agree to that!” Another man agreed and the rest nodded.

Hanna trembled.

Heaven knew, she never slept with a man in her entire life.

Though she was often exposed to these kinds, she already practiced the drill of escaping her clients

smoothly and she never failed but these men were young.

They were too aggressive and robust she could not underestimate them.

They were all dangerous for her.

Her heart trembled to realize someone would touch her tonight.

She would never allow it.

She didn’t mind dying than to give herself to one of the men in front of her.

“Why bid if we can share her?” Suddenly, their jaws dropped when Eric suddenly uttered. “Right,

Hanna?” Eric looked at her with a deadly look.

She felt her breathing had stopped when their eyes met.

She felt his eyes swallowing her soul.

Eric was not the person she loved. He was dangerous and didn’t care for her welfare.

“Yeah! That would be great! That’s the best idea, Eric! After all, we are all friends, right?” One of his

friends was very satisfied with his suggestion.

“Yeah! I’m in!” Followed by chuckles and giggles with the rest of the men.

“Eric…” She muttered brokenheartedly.

Her tears dripped down.

Seeing her tears, Eric’s eyes flickered but quickly recovered.

“Why? Are we not to your liking? Come on, I can assure you that all your wild fantasies will be fulfilled

by us tonight. I’m just afraid that one man can’t satisfy you so I think sharing you is the best idea. Am I

right? After all, we are going to pay you a lot and if you can also satisfy us then there will surely be a

next time. Don’t worry about that. My friends here are all generous.” Eric said full of arrogance.

He was very hard and mean to Hanna.

This was her punishment.

Tonight, he would punish her and she would never forget it.

“Okay! In my hotel, then.” A man stood up and threw a card on the table. “Eric, we will be waiting.

Please deliver our muse carefully. Don’t worry dear, you will not forget this night. With us, you will be

the happiest tonight. We can assure you that.” He added with a wink then excitedly strode out the

room.

“See you, Eric, and you, beautiful!” Another man sounded then he followed the first man.

The rest of the men nodded at Eric before they made their exit until Eric and Hanna were the only

people left in the room.

Eric suddenly released her.

Hanna remained standing in the middle dispirited and still shocked by what happened tonight.

In just a blink of an eye, she was humiliated and heartbroken at the same.

Everything was absorbing to her now.

Eric went to the door but he didn’t go out instead, he locked the door.

A deafening silence and an intense tension were circulating in the air.

Hanna refused to be bullied just like that.

Eric had gone overboard.

She wanted to avenge herself but there was a part of her that stopped her.

She wanted to understand Eric’s hatred for her.

She wanted to accept his wrath on her.

His footsteps made her halt again.

“Why are you just standing there? For the last time Hanna, before I will deliver you to them, could you

dance for me?” Eric sat back in the middle of the couch.

He poured a drink into his glass and shook it while his sharp eyes were on her.

Hanna didn’t move.

She felt hopeless and helpless.

She let her tears just drip down as she promised after all her tears, she would forget anything about

Eric.

'

After her tears, she would erase every good memory she had with him.

She swore to forget him no matter what.

He was not the Eric she loved and he would never change how badly he treated her.

After her tears, they would be back from being strangers to each other.

“Eric,” Mustering her courage to speak, she called out his name.

Then, she heaved a heavy breath.

It was all her frustrations and she swore not to do it again in front of him.

“You just said that I can’t be satisfied by one man, so…” She tried composing herself toughly while Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

gulping secretly to stabilize her composure. “Maybe we can meet your friends now because I don’t

waste my time with one man… with you… here. I want to perform naked in front of all your friends as

you know that is my expertise. Don’t worry I will give satisfaction to every penny you guys will pay me.

So, let’s go?” Hanna was acting cool in front of Eric.

For her, it was the best thing she could do to forget him fast as she knew Eric was not going to believe

her anymore.

What she was doing now was good for both of them.

She would not defend herself anymore and whatever he had in mind about her, let it all stay in his

mind.

By this, they would stay away from each other forever.

For Hanna, tonight would be the last night they would see each other and she swore that she would

never see him again.

What he did for her was enough for her to stay away from him.

What she was about to do would be enough for him to stay away from her.

That would be fair enough for them not to see each other again.

“Let’s go?” Hanna asked coolly trying to break the intense tension in the atmosphere.

Eric looked at her hatefully.

He seemed to prove everything about her was right.

His expression was so displeased at her.

He drank the alcohol in his glass in one go then he stood up.

He grabbed her hand tightly and dragged her forcefully.

“There’s no escaping now. Let’s go!” Eric sounded like he was bringing her to hell.
