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

Chapter 96: William Zimmer

“Bestie, you are in danger! Calm down. Do not react and pretend that we are talking about something

funny. Do not make William have any suspicion. You must be calm whatever I am going to tell you.

Okay?” Farrah didn’t know how to start and how to save her friend.

With a sudden vehement fear, Arabella sneaked at William who was very focused on the road. She

couldn’t believe what Farrah had said.

How could William become dangerous?

Maybe he was just angry with her because of her relationship with Bill, but it never came to her mind

that William would be dangerous. She knew him, William was as gentle as a lamb that could not even

kill a fly.

Farrah must be mistaken but she knew too that Farrah would not react like this if there was nothing.

“Okay.” Arabella was nervous already. She knew something was not right with Farrah’s shaky voice.

“Of course, Count me in. I will attend your birthday party. Give me the details.” Arabella added loudly

enough for William to hear it but her heart was already racing so fast. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Bestie, when I saw William in your house. I wanted to warn you, but I am not so sure of it. Now, I

confirmed that he was the same person. He was the boyfriend of my housemate five years ago.”

“Anna, she suffered from his possessiveness. To get rid of him, Anna had to deal with her classmate to

pretend to be her boyfriend. After that, Anna went home full of bruises. I was there, I cured her

bruises.” Farrah was crying already. It’s been a long time and she thought she forgot it already.

“Then the next day, Darren was found dead inside the school and Anna went missing. Nobody could

point to William because of lack of evidence, but I know in my heart, he was the evil one.” Farrah

wailed.

“Bestie, you have to find a way to get rid of him now. I know, he had done those evil things.” Farrah had

been already hysterical.

“Okay. I got it.” Arabella clenched her fists. The horrifying news made her want to jump out of the car

immediately, but she couldn’t do it. She and her baby seemed to be in danger again. She sneaked at

the man she used to admire.

“William, thank you for the ride.” Gathering her wits, she tried to lighten up the atmosphere and hide her

fear. Being rattled would not help. If the allegations of Farrah were true, she needed to be smart to

protect her baby.

William looked at her and smiled.

Without replying, he gassed up and the vehicle swiftly ran like they were already flying.

“William you are giving me a fright. Are you, okay? Arabella said coolly, but she was already panicking

inside.

On the other hand, Farrah was in panic. Her mind was with Arabella. She blamed herself for not giving

Arabella a warning when she had suspected William. She wasn’t sure at that time and since William

was Arabella’s boss, she didn’t want to be mistaken. Today, the investigator she hired to dig up the past

case called up and reported to her about the case that happened years ago. It was him, William

Zimmer, the boyfriend of Anna Hanson, her housemate when she studied abroad. She was not so

close to Anna because she was always with William at that time, but when she went home with bruises,

Anna secretly told her that her boyfriend did it because of jealousy. No one accused William but in

Farrah’s eyes, it’s William, who did the evil doings.

Now that her friend was in danger, she had to do something to save her. She took out her cell phone

again and dialed Gab.

The phone rang three times before it was answered.

“You called?” Gab’s tone wasn’t happy.

“I am sorry to disturb you.” Farrah staggered. They had been separated for months and she avoided

him. She didn’t answer his calls and now, she had to call him. How weird!

“What is it?” Gab asked with no emotion in his tone.

“I need your help.” Farrah didn’t want to talk to him, but for the sake of Arabella, she dared to contact

Gab and asked for help.

“What about?” Gab simply replied.

“Arabella is in danger. Please help me find her and save her.” Farrah’s heartbeat raced fast when she

mentioned her best friend.

“Where are you? I will come to get you.” Gab replied quickly.

“I am in the office now.” Farrah answered.

“I’m on my way.” Gab ended the call. He texted a message, then exited his house.

Farrah prayed that her best friend would be safe and that she was just exaggerating things.

“William, slow down please. This is not the way to my house.” Arabella’s voice was shaking. She tried

to control it, but she couldn’t withstand to remain relaxed.

“You are not going home tonight. Not anymore. You are going to live with me from now on.” William

said while furiously driving. Their vehicle was already flying at the fastest speed.

“William, stop joking.” Arabella smiled, trying her best to treat him as their usual, but her heart was

already racing and her body started to soften.

“William, we still have NZ Cosmetics to manage and we still have many team buildings to make. Let’s

not die tonight, okay?” She delivered her speech like a joke. This was how they usually talk. Maybe it

could help clear his mind.

William suddenly stopped the car with a screeching sound.

Arabella had felt satisfied. She knew it, William would listen to her. They were friends and maybe he

was just mistaken by Farrah.

William looked at her seriously.

“I am sorry, but I have to do this.” William said then with a handkerchief in his hand, he quickly covered

Arabella’s nose. She struggled, but just for a while, then she completely lost consciousness.

“In this lifetime, you are only mine.”

“Your home is with me.”

“We will live happily together.”

“Just you and me.”

William gravely said in front of the unconscious girl on her seat. Then, he started the engine again and

drove away.

Arabella woke up with dizziness in a strange room. Immediately, she felt panicked as she remembered

what happened in the car. She just hoped everything was just a dream.

A bad dream it may but it’s still a dream so, it’s okay.

She quickly pinched her arm to check if she was right.

“Ouch!” It hurts!

She then held her breath and heaved heavily. She was sweating as her anxiety came out quickly.

Realizing that everything was real, her heart was clenched. Not only was she scared and nervous, but

she felt broken-hearted. She had high expectations with her friendship with William. The memories they

shared together flashed across her mind.

She met him in the elevator and she couldn’t help admiring his cuteness. His face was gentle and had

a cool fashion sense. She even mistaken him as a gay. They had lots of common traits that’s why she

quickly became close to William. She even met his family and they had a good time working together in

his company. He was her boss and a good reliable friend at the same time.

Never did she imagine that this time would come. She still wanted to believe that William was still her

friend. He might have a problem for now, but he will definitely get over it soon.

Inspecting the room, it had no window but it was fully air conditioned. She went to open the door, but it

was locked outside. She noticed a rectangle shape on the door like a small closed window. She lifted

the cover up and it opened. She tried to sneak into the small opening, but she could only see a white

wall and she couldn’t tell if it’s day or night.

“William.”

“Are you there?”

“What are you doing?”

“Please let me go and I will forget everything that happened to us.”

With a shaky voice, Arabella called his name but William didn’t answer.

Inside the room, she was helpless, but she wasn’t hopeless. Her baby still needed her.

3 hours had passed, and someone put food on the opening.

“William! William is that you?” Arabella was rattled.

The footsteps of a person outside stopped. He seemed to sit on the floor near her door.

Arabella also sat on the floor. Now, only the door separated them.

“William, why?” Broken hearted, Arabella asked.

William was silent.

“I want you to be with me.” William replied firmly.

“William, we are friends. We will always be together.” Arabella tried to pacify him. She needed to be

calm for this kind of situation.

“I don’t want a friend! I want you to be my woman. Do you understand that?” William suddenly shouted

angrily on the other side.

“Okay. Calm down. Let’s solve it in a nice way.” Arabella’s heart skipped a beat, but managed to

compose herself.

“Get ready, we will leave the city tonight and we will be together forever.”

“Just you and me!”

William, with an imposing voice sounded.

“William, I am married already.” Arabella had to say it hoping William would lose his interest in her.

“Don’t worry, I will kill that Bill and you will be mine.” William replied with assuredness.

Arabella was startled. She still couldn’t believe William's sudden change.

Such a gentle and tender man suddenly became a dangerous and murderous man.

Why didn't she sense it while working with him?

“William, you are scaring me. You can’t do this. You are the smartest person I know. You should know

that you are against the law. You will go to prison for this.” Arabella’s tone was shaky as the fear in her

body started to immense all over her system.

“I don’t care. As long as I can keep you forever.”

“Just you and me!”

William replied firmly.

“William, I don’t love you.” Arabella muttered.

Just after her words, a loud bang outside could be heard. He seemed to punch the door and the wall

outside brutally.

Startled, she moved back.

“William, please let me go.” Arabella begged again. This time she was already crying as hopelessness

already invaded her.

“Never!”

“Whether you like it or not, you will live with me.” William screamed outside madly. After, another loud

bang was heard like he smashed something to the ground, then all the noise outside had vanished and

she could not hear anything.

Tonight, William had planned to bring her abroad. He was already out of his mind. She had to escape

from him.

“Sir, Here’s your tickets and the passport of Ms. Jones.” The man handed in to William after he

successfully sneaked into Arabella's house to get her passport and by the help of his connections, it

was stamped with a visa.

“Good. Send us off tonight.” William smiled triumphantly. He planned to hide Arabella in another

country far away from Capital Z. A country that no one could suspect and find them even Bill Sky.

The time had come and the door in her room was pushed open. Then, William went inside to bring her

out.

“William, my stomach aches! It’s so painful.” Arabella shouted in pain while hugging her knees on the

bed.

William’s face was haggard and the gentleness had nowhere to be found.

“Enough with that! Stand up!” William shouted.

“William it’s so painful, please assist me.” Arabella exclaimed.

With no hesitation, William picked her up, but when he squinted, Arabella suddenly kicked his balls with

all her might.

William shouted in pain, then Arabella quickly ran out.

Terrified, she stroked her belly while running in a maze. The strange house was so big that she couldn’t

find the main door.

“Arabella, stop this and come here now!” William shouted impatiently. The voice was behind her so she

quickly hid in a corner. When the footsteps of William went upstairs, she wandered until she found the

main door. Terrified and startled, she quickly opened the door. The surroundings were so dark, but it

didn’t stop her from running to ask for help but then she realized that there’s no neighbors around. The

house was located in a secluded area and only William’s house was lit up.

When she started to run again, she bumped into a man’s hard chest. At this moment, she wished that

the chest was her savior, but when she looked up, the man wickedly smiled at her.
