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

Chapter 98 : Broken Friendship

“Sis! Sis! Sis!” William quickly ran into Mia.

Seeing Mia on the ground, Arabella also instinctively ran to her, but she was suddenly grabbed by a

man causing her to stop.

“Sis! Sis! Stay with me.” William shouted vehemently crying and laughing at the same time. Mia was his

elder and only sister. She took care of him growing up. She always protected him since they were in

grade school. When they were kids, his classmates always bullied him and called him ‘paranoid’ but

Mia always stood up for him. Even if they grew up, Mia didn’t have a serious relationship because she

was always worried about him. When he met Anna, Mia was happy, but Anna left him.

‘Sis, I found Anna. You have to be happy for me again.” William continued gravely wailing and laughing

at the same time.

“Brother, give up Anna, she is dead.” Mia with a frail voice refuted as she had already known it a long

time ago. Mia looked for Anna but her mother confessed in the long run that Anna committed a suicide.

Anna’s parents didn’t tell them to punish William. They knew Anna wanted to escape from William’s

over possessiveness and obsession. Mia knew his brother was mentally ill ever since he was a kid. He

had a trauma after their parents died in a car accident and left them abruptly. He was very close to their

mom and William couldn’t take it that their mom was suddenly gone until he met Anna.

Anna changed his life, but William became very possessive. His psychological disorder had worsened,

especially Anna confessed that she had another boyfriend. William committed the biggest mistake of

his life. But since he was her only brother, she stood up with him. Instead of sending him to jail, they

send them to the mental hospital. They were surprised that William was cooperating with the entire

process so he quickly got out of the hospital. After that, they still required him to go to a psychiatric

therapy every week.

Mia and her grandma were so happy about his change. Without any trace of being paranoid, she

trusted her company to him so he would have something to be busy with. With William’s capabilities

and academic attainments, she knew William could pull it through until he met another Anna in the

appearance of Arabella Jones.

“No! She’s alive. You see her!” William shouted, trying to make a stand. When he looked to find

Arabella, he saw someone had her, so instinctively he stood up angrily but two men dragged him.

“What are you doing? Let go of me! Babe come here!” William ordered angrily.

Arabella didn’t move. Her eyes were all of pity with William but her fear with him was already pierced to

her heart.

Bill dragged Arabella away and two men helped Mia.

“Babe, don’t go with him!”

“Bill Sky, I will kill you!”

“Babe, wait for me. I promise. I will find you again!”

“Remember. Just you and me!”

William was shouting non-stopped while the two men were dragging him away with the rest of the men.

Hearing William’s ‘Just you and me’, Arabella trembled again. Those words were horrifying for her and

made her spikes lift.

Bill put her on the backseat and the driver quickly drove away.

“Okay! Send him to the farthest mental hospital and to the most remote country.” Bill hung up the

phone after he ordered.

Arabella heard him, but she didn’t dare to move. William would probably not be coming back if Bill

exiled him to a very far away country. She glared at the man who was sitting beside him but her eyes

had caught something.

His phone.

Before the light had turned off on the screen, she accidentally saw his wallpaper. She didn’t believe it,

but she would not be mistaken.

It’s their picture together in the ski resort.

What in the world was he thinking?

Arabella hated to admit it, but her traumatizing fear caused by William suddenly vanished in that

moment and was replaced by a tremendous joy.

“Thank you for saving me.” As silence invaded the air, Arabella felt she had to say something.

Bill looked at her with no emotion in his face, but his cold gaze was telling her he was angry and

unhappy.

“I know you are busy and I am sorry to bother you.” Arabella said shyly as she knew Bill went abroad to

meet the shareholders and fixed the bombing issue.

Bill didn’t reply instead, he closed his eyes and leaned his head toward his right hand. He seemed to

be so tired and didn’t want to talk to anyone so Arabella stayed quiet.

When they arrived at the villa, the driver opened her door. He looked at the man beside her, but he

didn’t move.

‘Is he not coming out?’

“Mrs. Sky?” The man behind the door sounded.

He looked at him again, but Bill didn’t move as if he didn’t care about anything. His eyes were closed,

but she knew he was not sleeping.

“I am going.” Arabella muttered with a heavy heart.

When she walked towards the villa the car swiftly drove away.

For some unexplainable reason, her warm tears came out and rolled down uncontrollably. Her breath

wasn’t stable as her chest heaved heavily. She stopped and sat on the sofa, then she drowned herself

with tears.

Arabella curled herself on the sofa as she felt the loneliness in the night. The trauma from William

came back after she had entered the villa. She was still scared, but no one was there for her. Bill was

surely with Mia right this moment.

What about her?

She also needs human comfort.

What was she expecting?

That Bill would pamper her and tapped her back while she was crying?

She laughed bitterly with the thought.

On the other hand, Bill was back to his private plane. He was flying back abroad. In the middle of his

meeting with the shareholders, Gab sent him a text. It was about Arabella. Without hesitation, he left

the meeting and hurriedly flew back to Capital Z.

Sitting on his seat with a leg on top of another, he stared at his phone screen with the wallpaper.

“Never! Never did I love him.” Arabella’s words crossed his mind, then that’s the only time he turned off

his phone and threw it on a table beside him.

Upon seeing his boss, George couldn’t help but to feel helpless for his boss. Bill was always calm even

in very tragic situations, but with his agitated reaction right now, he could tell it’s about Mrs. Sky. She

could only make him mad.

Morning came, Arabella’s eyes were swollen from the whole night crying. She had slept on the sofa

and didn’t go up to the master bedroom. The feeling of being alone and her helplessness would just be

immense to her if she had slept there so she decided to sleep on the sofa.

Now, she didn’t want to work, she just wanted to lay down in a big soft bed and sleep the whole day.

Then her phone rang.

“Hello?” Arabella quickly answered.

“Oh, thank God! You are safe now.” Farrah’s worried voice became cheerful hearing Arabella’s voice.

Last night, Gab picked her up as he agreed to help her find Arabella, but to her surprise, he kidnapped

her.

“Where are we going?” Farrah was startled as their way was opposite to William’s address.

“Somewhere where we could talk.” Gab said seriously while his focus was on the road. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Are you insane? My best friend is in danger and you agreed to help me!” Farrah shouted angrily. She

couldn’t believe Gab was too selfish and didn't care for Arabella.

“Are you questioning my cousin Bill’s ability?” Gab smiled at her like he was really sure that Bill would

successfully rescue Arabella.

“You are so boastful! How sure are you?” Farrah was uneasy. She could only hope for the better.

“Just wait and see.” Gab said, blinking at her.

Farrah sneered at the man who she seemed to miss a lot.

When they arrived at a huge house, Gab dragged her inside and threw her inside a room. He kissed

her hard that their lips almost bleed.

“This is your punishment. You can’t come out until you repent your mistake.” Then Gab left her alone in

the room, then closed the door with a bang.

Her mistake?

It’s her mistake.

Great!

Farrah was dumbfounded.

“I am not going to work. Can you come here to my place?” Arabella asked Farrah to come as she didn’t

want to be alone.

Hearing Arabella, Farrah was so helpless. She wanted to accompany her best friend, but Gab locked

the door the whole night and didn’t come this morning. She didn’t know what this man was up to, but

she wanted to see it. He probably would come to deliver her breakfast.

“Hmmm… As much as I want to but I have a little problem.” Farah said shyly.

“What is that?” Arabella’s voice was worried.

“Calm down. It’s not what you think. It’s just a love problem. I am with Gab.” Farrah replied honestly.

“Oh! So sorry. Then hurriedly solve it so we can catch up with each other some other day.” Arabella

tried her voice to be cheerful. She didn’t want to disturb Farrah, especially because she was dealing

with her love life.

The call ended and Arabella started to feel lonely again. She thought of Bill taking care of Mia. Her

heart clenched hard.

The next day, she didn’t want to stay in the villa so she decided to go back to work. The case with

William was put into a secret file. No news was leaked about the recent incident. So, NZ cosmetics was

still stable and working.

Arabella had finished all her reports for NZ Cosmetics and Sky Corporation. Afterwards, she started

typing her resignation letter. With what happened, she had no plan to continue working with NZ

Cosmetics. After a few weeks, she would also resign from Sky Corporation. Then she would fly abroad

and live there with her child.

Her heart was breaking when she typed every word in her letter. The memories with William flashed

across her mind, then the traumatizing part popped up. Her tears went out and rolled down. She knew

pregnant women were emotional, but her tears were merely for a friendship that was broken.

To avoid the sadness in her heart, she tried to divert it to work. She decided to clean up her work

station and thought of shredding some useless papers in her office. Just when her pen dropped and

rolled over under the huge white file cabinet. Subconsciously, she kneeled on the floor and lowered her

body to see the pen under the cabinet. After seeing it, she stretched her hand to reach it, but it was to

no avail. The pen was a bit far from her hand so she used a ruler for extension. Seeing the ruler reach

the pen, she was quite satisfied. She lowered her head and body to see the pen clearly, but to her

surprise, she also saw a square shaped paper near her pen. It was most likely a photo, but she wasn’t

sure about it as it was somewhat dusty for having stuck there for too long.

When she took over Sharon’s office, it was already empty. Even the files in her computer were already

removed. If she’s not mistaken, this photo was definitely Sharon’s belongings. Out of curiosity, she

stretched her arm again and with the use of her long ruler, she managed to bring out the picture under

the closet together with her pen.

Feeling satisfied, she picked up the two things and sat back in her chair. She put back first her pen to

its pen holder on her desk then, she flipped the picture to see it clearly.

It was indeed covered with dust. So, she blew the dust away and gently wiped it with her palm and

tissue. When the image was clear, it suddenly gave Arabella goosebumps.
