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

Chapter 415: What Her Heart Truly Wanted

“Let go!” When the stiffness of the air was so palpable, Damien was the one who regained his senses

first.

It’s been a while since he saw the domineering man again.

He hated this man so much for giving Arabella such hard times.

Ever since and until now, he didn’t change but more became worse.

Damien witnessed everything Arabella had to experience from him terribly.

And now, he still had the face to come in and out of their lives.

Damien just wanted Arabella to forget this man and instead, she would see him as the man who truly

cared and loved her but because of Bill Sky, that was going to be impossible to happen.

After Damien’s words, Bill didn’t move even Arabella.

She felt her heart skip a beat for a while and then when it raced to the highest rate.

She didn’t understand why she had to meet Bill very soon and what he was doing right now.

Why he had to stop them?

He just put an end to their relationship, then why he was wasting his precious time with them?

“I said, let go!” Damien sounded angry but Bill was still unmoved.

His sharp eyes were pierced into Arabella who was looking at him too puzzled.

Her eyes were in disbelief to see him again.

She was puzzled by what he wanted from her now when he just dumped her.

It was clear to both of them that they were over.

Their presence in each other’s life was over.

“I never thought, you’re that fast…” The real silence broke when Bill finally spoke.

His eyes were despising Arabella.

The tension surged up in the air as his tone was calm but sarcastic.

He was mocking her like all his attention was on her and Damien didn’t exist.

Arabella looked at him meeting his mocking eyes then she smiled at him. “My business isn’t for you to

mind, Mr. Sky.” She tried to hold her smile and sounded so calm even though her heart was clenched

so hard. “Once again, Congratulations on your wedding tomorrow.” She had to act cool and unaffected

by the situation.

Now that she finally wanted to let go of him and gave her half-sister what she wanted, maybe this time

she would live peacefully and try to focus on her own life.

For the last time, Bill looked at her with the sharpest look she could have.

It made her heart scared, sad, and trembled.

She didn’t know why but she felt something in his stare.

It seemed telling her goodbye and not just that, his stare was despising her.

For the last time, her image to him was a dirty woman who wanted all the men in the world.

His sharp eyes were screaming that and for the last time, he still despised her.

With that, she could let go.

She would not correct him anymore.

She had tried so many times to prove herself to him but she failed.

He never believed her and he only believed Trishia.

Arabella was done explaining herself and defending herself to him and to anyone.

She had enough and it seemed fate was cooperating for her now.

First, Bill dumped her.

He admitted that he never believed in her and he was just playing with her all along.

Secondly, Trishia begged her.

For the first time, she lowered herself just to beg her to give Bill to her.

These two reasons were just enough for her to move on and stop.

Giving up would give everyone live peacefully.

Though she would have a very hard time dealing with her heart, she would sacrifice if it would mean

that everyone would live in peace.

Bill and Trishia would not pester her anymore.

Even the Senator would not contact her again because she would have no hold on Bill Sky.

Let alone Trishia, Bill, and the Senator deal with their problems, and she would be out of the picture.

Most importantly, Adam would be safe.

The greedy culprits would not use her son to get what they wanted from her.

With her satisfying thoughts, Arabella heaved a heavy sigh.

Letting go of bad luck and taking in all the positivity.

Arabella was positive to live in her own way and without any connection to Bill Sky.

Standing tall and dignified, Bill let go without any word.

Dispirited, Arabella broke her stare from him and looked far away to avert her gaze then Damien

started to push her wheelchair again passing the man who was still unmoved standing on the side.

The air was back to normal when the two separated ways.

Arabella held her deep emotion meeting Bill Sky again.

She gritted her teeth to stabilize herself and promised not to be affected again by Bill Sky.

When they would meet again coincidently, she would not feel the same toward him.

She should learn how to let go of the pain and the love that she had for him.

Now that Bill would enter another marriage with another woman, she should be happy with them and

accept that they were not really meant for each other.

Bill wasn’t the man for her.

They were meant to be separated in this life.

Trying hard to believe in all her thoughts but the more she felt they were getting far and far away from

Bill, the more she felt very anxious and sad.

Her heart just couldn’t lie.

She wanted to run back to him. Kiss him and hug him.

Tell him to cancel the wedding or even sign the contract to be his mistress.

She knew she was stupid to think of that but then if she had to follow her heart, that was all her heart

wanted.

She loved him so much to swallow her pride and be his slave.

She loved him so much that she was willing to go with him wherever he would go.

Even if he would jump from the cliff until death but then she realized that she only loved him. It was just

her who continued loving him.

It was just her who still holding and it was just her wanting to do all these things. It’s only her and not

him.

Arabella was snapped back to her senses realizing her thoughts then she heaved a heavy sigh to

release all her frustrations and disappointments.

“Are you, okay?” Damien asked worriedly.

“Hmmm…” She answered nodding her head. Obviously, it was a lie. She was never okay and would

never be okay.

She didn’t know when but she would surely get there.

When they arrived at Damien’s villa, the dinner was all prepared.

Lira was standing and smiling at them when they entered the house.

She was busy preparing the dining table for them. Her expression was excited upon seeing them.

“Welcome home.” She muttered running with her arms spreading to hug Arabella.

Arabella smiled at her in return.

She hugged Lira. “I miss you,” Arabella muttered sincerely. Admittedly, she knew she had been so busy

with her personal life that she had less time for the two.

“I miss you too Ms. J,” Lira was her friend but she was still hesitant to drop the formalities.

“Oh no, Lira… Call me Arabella. We are friends and I am very thankful that you stayed with my friend,

Damien here.” Arabella sounded very thankful as she was making a bit of a joke to kill the formal

atmosphere.

Lira just chuckled as she looked at Damien.

Her eyes to him were serious.

She wasn’t happy but she was smiling in front of Arabella. “Oh, the table was ready, shall we?” Lira

quickly sounded.

“Sure, and thank you so much for the effort, Lira.” Arabella sincerely sounded.

Damien assisted Arabella carefully.

With a heavy heart, Lira was trying her best not to get affected.

Her relationship with Damien was still no label.

He never forced her to live with him.

It was she who wanted to take care of him.

It was she who agreed with what he could only offer.

They kissed, they hugged and slept together sometimes but she knew, Damien’s love was only for

Arabella Jones.

He never looked at her the way he looked at Arabella.

He never cared for her the way he cared for Arabella Jones.

Even though, Lira chose to live with him and accept what he could only give to her.

Now that Arabella was back in their lives, Lira wondered what would be her place in Damien’s life and

in his house.

“Thank you, Damien,” After Damien assisted her to sit, Arabella, smiled and sounded.

Damien just smirked at her with a satisfied expression.

Lira’s eyes didn’t miss it and her heart started to get jealous.

Damien scoped the first dish and put it on Arabella’s plate.

Then the second dish and the third until her plate got full.

“You have to eat all so you can easily regain your strength.” Damien sounded like a worried boyfriend.

Arabella’s eyes were contemplating as they traveled to Lira who was sitting in front of them.

She had no idea the status of their relationship but of course, she knew Lira’s feelings toward Damien.

Arabella knew this for a long time and that was why she chose to live with Damien. It was just so

awkward for her to be treated by Damien in front of Lira because as much as possible she didn’t want

to cause any trouble.

She didn’t want Lira to get hurt or she could misunderstand her.

Arabella had no plan to stay longer in Damien’s place.

All she wanted was to transfer to a new apartment fast so she could not disturb Lira and Damien.

“Ah…” Arabella wanted to try to clear the atmosphere. “Hmmm… Is it okay if I can stay here for a few

days? I promise it will just be quick.” She was determined to get a new apartment fast to avoid

misunderstanding between the three of them.

“Oh, come on. Here we go again.” Damien uttered like he didn’t like the topic. “Do not forget that I got

this house for you. It’s ours.” Damien added with a serious tone and expression.

Lira looked at Damien who was looking at Arabella sincerely while Arabella was looking at Lira

problematically.

She could feel the awkwardness in the atmosphere and she couldn’t help to get annoyed with Damien.

Why he could say all these things in front of Lira?

Did he still not develop any feelings for Lira?

Why he was so insensitive?

Arabella quickly looked at Damien.

She met his eyes like she was scolding him for being so insensitive.

Damien seemed to get the meaning of Arabella’s stare as he looked at Lira who was still looking at

him.

Then Lira averted her stare to her plate.

Silently, she started eating.

“Don’t worry, Lira had to go back to her apartment as her new work was near her old apartment,” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Damien announced calmly to Arabella.

Arabella was shocked.

Upon hearing Damien, Lira stopped eating.

She was stunned for a bit then she looked at Damien.

Her eyes were questioning him.

She gave up her work for Damien to be his full-time assistant so she didn’t need to go back to her old

apartment.

Damien was lying to get rid of her and solo Arabella.

Realizing this, Lira felt like she could not taste the food in her mouth.

She felt she just lost her appetite.

How could Damien do that to her?

How could he say those words in front of her without even informing her first?

It was not the most painful, it was the fact that he didn’t have second thoughts about getting rid of her

inside his house.

After giving up her career to be with him.

It was clear that Damien still didn’t value her.

“Wow! Is it true, Lira? Well, I have to congratulate you on your new job.” Arabella excitedly sounded.

Lira’s heart was bleeding inside but upon hearing Arabella, she smiled at her trying her best to control

her real emotion not to show up in front of everyone. “Thank you,” Lira replied with a cool voice and

smile but then she didn’t think that she could hold her emotion any longer. “Please excuse me,” Politely,

Lira sounded as she quickly stood up not wanting any disapproval from them.

Still wearing her smile, she exited swiftly.

Arabella was left a bit confused.

She sensed something was off. “Damien, are you sure about this?” She quickly asked Damien frowning

deeply.

“Of course,” Damien answered plainly before he started to eat.

Arabella started eating too but she couldn’t help thinking and being troubled by something.

“You… and Lira, are you… in a relationship? Or…” She didn’t sound to be so nosy but she just wanted

to clear her thoughts.

Of course, she didn’t want any relationship to be affected by her presence.

“Nothing…We have nothing…” Damien cut her off. He sounded firm and plain.

Arabella smirked at him then she started to eat again.

In the corner, Lira was standing hearing their conversation clearly.

She had no issue with Arabella but could not help but feel jealous and disheartened by Damien’s

words.

They were like sharp blades pierced slowly but deeply into her heart.

“I’m back…” Lira announced with still a smile on her face.

“Oh, let’s eat now before the meal gets cold,” Arabella announced trying clear her doubts.

After dinner, Lira went inside her room and packed her things.

Damien wanted her to leave so she had no choice but to grant his wish.

She was wiping her stubborn tears when her door opened.

She turned around to see the person who had just entered the room.

“Damien…” Lira muttered in a gloomy tone. “Where’s Arabella?” She asked trying to hold her tears.

“She rested.” He replied plainly. “You can go out tomorrow. It’s late now.” He added.

Lira looked at Damien.

Her heart just ached so much seeing him so plain toward her.

“No… I will leave tonight.” Disheartened, Lira refuted.

After her words, Damien snatched her bag and threw it onto the couch.

He looked at her with scolding eyes.

Without any warning, her stubborn tears skipped from her eyes.

She quickly went to the couch and got her bag.

She didn’t want to listen to Damien.

“I will go tonight.” She said in a firm voice.

"What is this, Lira?" Damien asked frowning deeply. "Why are you doing this?" He asked bothered by

her actions.

"You asked for it! Why you are asking me now?" Tears dripped down her cheeks again.

Damien heaved deeply.

He was calming himself as he strode closer to her and grabbed her arm. "Let's talk."

"Look, I understand. You don't need to say something. She is back. Your love is back and I have to

leave." Lira said with a heavy heart.

Suddenly, Damien pulled her.
