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

Chapter 462: His Date

“Damien?” It was the only name that rang in Arabella’s mind after hearing Bill.

Lira was so in love with Damien but Arabella could still not find any reason for all these ruckuses

involving her friends.

Arabella was lost instantly.

Even though she tried hard to wrack her brain, she could not find any clue about the accusations

relating to her friends.

Why so sudden?

It was still unbelievable for Arabella and there was no way she would believe all the accusations.

“Bill, they are all my friends. What’s happening here?” Arabella was at a loss.

“Calm down, my men were on it. Whoever is innocent will get free and the real culprit will take its

verdict, okay?” Bill calmed Arabella down.

“No, you are barking at the wrong tree, Bill! Lira is innocent and Damien…” Arabella paused.

She knew Damien got a hot temper and tend to be violent sometimes but he did it to himself, not to

another person.

She remembered when they were still living abroad, Damien had always a bandage on his hand.

She saw him punching the wall repeatedly once when he got offended by her and the next morning, he

just said that it was just an accident.

She never told Damien what she saw him at that time but that was just once.

And if Damien was really a bad guy, he would not help her and Adam from the start.

He would not offer his place for a start and he would not be there to support her career and Adam.

“Bill, I believe Damien is innocent too. For god’s sake, they are my friends! They have been with me for

a long time, Bill. They helped me when I lost everything. They helped me with nothing in return. How

could this happen? It could not be, please you have mistaken them. They are innocents Bill.” Arabella

had gone hysterical and mad.

She didn’t like the situation where her friends were the victims.

These people didn’t do bad to her but all goodness.

If it weren’t for them, how could she survive the past?

Especially, when she was still carrying Adam at that time.

She had nowhere to go.

Not enough money to sustain her stay in somewhere else’s room.

Damien offered her a free stay until she got work and money to sustain her living.

He did not charge her full but half.

If she had to compute it, her stay with Damien’s place was free because he full her refrigerator every

month with groceries and he didn’t ask for anything in return.

When her career flourished, Damien even took care of Adam and the two got along well together.

Bill stayed silent and Arabella didn’t like it.

Judging Bill’s expression, Arabella knew he didn’t believe her and it saddened her.

He was thinking deeply.

Arabella looked at Bill seriously.

She knew, he could only help her.

He had the capability to help her if he wanted to. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

All she needed to do was to make him believe that her friends were innocent.

“If you don’t believe me, let’s go to Damien’s house. Damien will tell anything to you. Okay?” Arabella

was determined to finish this nonsense accusation.

Bill looked at her.

His expression was empty but his eyes were deeply serious.

“Damien is out of the country.” He announced firmly.

It seemed Bill had done the advance investigation before going to Arabella.

Arabella was taken aback after hearing Bill's words.

It wasn’t a surprise though since Lira said earlier that Damien was on leave.

She just thought that Damien was feeling sick and just stayed in his house.

She didn’t know he flew abroad.

“Oh,” Arabella only uttered still trying to think what was Damien doing abroad.

Did Lira know about it?

“I didn’t know,” Arabella uttered with a blank expression.

She was lost.

If Damien was abroad what about Lira?

Did he even know that Lira was inside a cell now?

Damien! You need to come back!

She was lost in her thought when Bill suddenly grabbed her hands.

“Look, this matter, just leave it to my men. Okay? They were tracking Damien now and you can’t do

anything as Lira had confessed about the crime.” Bill wanted to ease her trouble.

“I want to speak with Lira, Bill. I want to know the truth from her.” She uttered sincerely. Arabella was so

tired of thinking. She just wanted to know the truth all about this.

“Lira was not going to face you. She didn’t want to accept visitors.” Bill seemed to know everything.

He had it all in his hand.

Arabella heaved a deep sigh.

She could feel her body still trembling due to her anxiety.

She could not just sit there and wait for Damien’s coming but Bill was right.

Lira had confessed and she was not willing to cooperate. Damien…

She needed to find Damien.

Maybe he knew everything and he had the answer to Lira’s action.

But how?

If Damien went abroad? How could she track him?

Damien had no family that she could contact or ask about his whereabouts.

“I have a spare key in Damien’s house. Maybe we can find something there if where he went? Can you

drive me there?” After realizing that Damien had given her a spare key to his house, she quickly told

Bill.

Bill heaved a heavy sigh before he started his engine.

It seemed that he had to give all she wanted otherwise, Arabella would not stop.

Her beautiful face was so determined to solve the case and erased all the accusations that were

pointing to her friends.

When they arrived at Damien’s house, Arabella quickly opened the door.

They went inside and Bill’s men stayed outside.

Arabella went to the second floor while Bill remained on the ground floor.

She went to all rooms but she could not open Damien's room.

She heaved a heavy sigh.

In respect of Damien's privacy, she would not barge into his room.

In the first place, she shouldn't be there.

They shouldn't be there.

Arabella suddenly felt guilty.

What she was doing right now was like investigating his friend, Damien.

What she was doing right now had no difference from falsely accusing her friend.

She trusted Damien.

Arabella halted and then went down.

After a while, Arabella went back to Bill empty-handed and with a frustrated expression.

“You seemed to be so familiar with Damien’s house, huh?” Bill suddenly uttered with a teasing tone.

He just wanted to break Arabella's mood toward the sudden situation.

Arabella rolled her eyes at him.

Bill was starting to tease her again and she was in the mood for that.

She was mad because she could not do anything to help Lira in the prison.

She looked at Bill as she smirked annoyingly.

“Hmmm, yeah because this house is supposed to be mine. Damien offered this house to me but I

refused it.” She answered provoking something.

“Hmmm…” Bill uttered. “Why did you refuse it? It’s not bad. The man had a taste.” Bill sounded

doubtful.

Arabella looked at Bill.

“I don’t want it.” She simply answered.

“Just like that?” Bill asked still doubtful.

Arabella nodded. “Hmmm… you still don’t know me, my friend.” She tapped Bill’s shoulder, smiled, and

then went ahead out.

Bill smirked cutely.

She was using the word friend with him again.

She was cute and it turned him on.

But when could she possibly control herself?

Bill was excited to know.

When she saw him earlier, her stare was undeniable.

She was happy to see him and if he was not mistaken, she had a great desire for him.

It seemed his trick was effective.

It made him satisfied and he would continue to play with her game until she would beg him and deliver

herself to his room willingly.

With his thoughts, Bill smiled satisfyingly and went out.

When they got inside his car, he looked at Arabella.

This woman was still very uneasy.

He held her hand.

Arabella looked at him.

Their eyes met.

Arabella quickly hugged him.

Bill hugged her tightly.

Arabella felt crying on his shoulder.

She missed him a lot and his warmth is all she needed to forget her problem.

It was so satisfying.

Comfortable and soothing.

Feeling so satisfied, it made her smile.

She closed her eyes trying to collect all Bill's warmth until she realized something.

Abruptly, Arabella's eyes opened.

Stunned and petrified.

She quickly pulled herself out of Bill's embrace.

Trying her best to gather her composure as she blushed tremendously.

Without seeing Bill, she sensed that he was laughing at her.

"I'm... I'm sorry. I'm just carried away." Arabella sounded and felt the need to say something.

"Hmmm... that's nothing," Bill answered with a cute smirk.

Arabella looked at him.

Their eyes met.

"Yeah, that's nothing," She agreed but with a pinch in her heart.

She then smile at him to show that they were good and they mutually understood things.

After a while, a deafening silence invaded the space.

Bill studied Arabella who was still caught in big trouble.

“Don’t worry. My men were on it. Okay? We cannot do anything without Damien. Damien had to give a

statement that Lira’s confession is invalid. I will try my best to help you.” Bill was sincere as his eyes

worried about her.

“Why?” Arabella hated to ask this but it was too late.

Her heart wanted to hear something from him and it was badly serious.

She was longing for some sweet words from him though it was not appropriate at the level of their

relationship.

Bill frowned then he smirked cutely. “Because I’m… I’m your friend, remember?” He grinned after his

words.

Arabella wanted to show him her smile but it turned into a smirk.

Her heart clenched because it was way too far from what her heart was expecting to hear.

But who’s to blame?

It was her.

Arabella could not help but heaved the heaviest sigh.

“What’s that for?” Bill asked with a smile and in disbelief expression.

“Ah,” Realizing that she did breathe so much because of not hearing from Bill she wanted to hear from

him, Arabella blushed and she felt the need to cover up. “that was for my friends.” She quickly added

with bursting hot cheeks.

Bill just smiled at her.

He had fun with her pretentious acting.

Arabella was the most stubborn woman he ever met.

“What’s that for?” Arabella turned to ask.

Bill shook his head along with his smile. “Because you are cute when you blush,” Bill answered

meaningfully.

Hearing Bill, she felt embarrassed.

Bill saw her blushing and after his words, she felt more hotness on her cheeks.

She quickly cupped her cheeks and scolded them for making her embarrassed in front of Bill Sky.

Before everything flared up between them, Bill started the engine and they drove to the mansion.

When they arrived at the entrance, a butler quickly opened Arabella’s door side.

Bill was unmoved.

She was curious.

“Aren’t you coming down?” She asked with a questioning expression.

Bill shook his head as he looked empty at Arabella.

“I have a meeting with a model tonight.” He announced blankly.

Arabella was stunned hearing him.

A model?

So it is sexy and beautiful.

Her heart was in trouble now as her heartbeat was racing so fast.

She didn’t like that she was going to go mad but she held it.

She could not make him feel that she was offended or disturbed by him.

“You mean a date?” She asked to confirm trying her best to be in her best composure.

Bill nodded charmingly.

“Yeah, you can say that.” He answered with a cute smile.

Arabella gulped and gritted her teeth.

She needed to find her calm and showed him that she wasn’t affected.

She smiled at him but she could feel her lips tremble.

“Then, good luck then. Enjoy your date.” Arabella bowed a little as a courtesy and then she quickly

exited his car.

She could not afford to put herself in an embarrassing state again as this moment she was flushed.

She felt angry for no reason.

Bill just arrived in the city and now he was going to have a date.

Grrr!!!

It pissed her off so much.

She walked like she was going to kick and stomp all the dust on the ground.

When she entered inside, “Mom, are you okay?” Adam greeted her but he had a worried expression

upon seeing her.

Arabella was quickly snapped back to her senses.

She quickly smiled and got rid of Bill's date in her mind.

"Son, Adam... How's your day?" Arabella hugged her son.

"Oh, great! I have a great day, mom." Adam answered cheerfully.

"That's good! Dinner?" Arabella felt suddenly hungry thinking about Bill's date.

She tried to get rid of him but she couldn't.

His date was occupying her mind and she could not stop it.

"Mommy, is it okay if we dine outside?" Arabella quickly looked at Adam's pleading expression.

The boy seemed to crave something.

"Oh! I think that's a good idea. I love it." Good thing Adam suggested dining outside.

Maybe she could forget Bill and his date.

Maybe a different ambiance would pacify her and soothe her soul tonight.

She was so frustrated and tired of thinking about Lira and Damien and undeniably, Bill's date added to

her frustration.

Her day ended with Bill announcing to her that he would be dating a model.

What a bad day!

Maybe a couple of wine drinking could make her forget about today's happenings.

"Yes! I'm ready!" Adam jumped for joy as his smile was up to his ears.

That was the only time she realized that Adam was already dressed up.

"Don't worry mommy, I already reserved a good restaurant. You will surely like it." Adam announced so

sure.

Arabella smiled agreeing with her boy.

She had no appetite but she felt the need to eat and drink something to replenish her energy.

Adam brought her to a fine dining restaurant.

It was a grand and expensive restaurant.

She could not help but be amazed by her boy.

He had grown up with the same taste as his dad.

A violinist was playing on the stage.

Her soothing piece made Arabella relaxed.

People who dined in were elites and well-dressed.

"Mommy, do you like it here?" Adam asked cutely.

She nodded until her eyes landed on another table with a very familiar figure.

Bill Sky and his model date.
