You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 13

The afternoon had gone very fast.

Arabella clenched her fist while she entered the hotel where she’s going to meet Bill Sky.

In a grand restaurant, she was ushered by a receptionist into a VIP room.

The room was spacious and elegant that only for the kings could afford.

Arabella immediately saw Bill Sky sitting alone with a news magazine on his hand.

Bill was so attractive and his aura was so powerful. ‘How can this man look so very sexy even if he's just reading a magazine?’ Arabella gulped while her heart was racing.

“I’m here.” She walked forward to him.

“Have a seat. My parents were coming in a minute.” Without gazing at her, he said.

Arabella simply obeyed and sat beside him.

In front of them were 2 chairs for his parents and inside the room, she saw 3 chefs on standby.

‘Wow. The chef should be cooking not to take orders.’ Arabella was amazed how rich this family is.

A moment of silence had passed.

Bill never left his gaze to the magazine without even talking to her. He’s obviously uninterested.

“Are you nervous?” Finally, Bill spoke to her.

“No. I’m fine.” Arabella said quickly, trying to compose herself.

She just wanted to finish this night and saved Farrah from him.

“Good Girl.” Without staring at her, Bill said.

“What about Farrah?” Arabella asked. Farrah’s the only reason why she accepted this show.

“She’s staying one of the rooms here.” Bill answered while still reading the magazine.

That’s good to know. He’s really a man of his words. Now she’s ready to play her role for tonight.

“I’m sorry Darling, we caught up with the traffic jam.” An old female voice echoed in the room.

They all stood up and welcomed Bill’s parents.

Bill put his arm on her shoulder and said “Mom, Dad, meet Arabella Jones, my girlfriend.”

“Hi. It was nice to meet both of you.” Arabella smiled and slightly bow her head.

“This is my father Ed and my beautiful mom Kelly.” Bill added presenting his parents.

“Oh, Darling it was nice to meet you too. We are so happy that we finally meet you.” Bill’s mom hugged her.

Arabella was stunned.

Bill’s dad just stared at her while giving her a quick nod as acknowledgement.

His personality was like Bill Sky. He was not so friendly, unlike his mom. She was so warm and approachable.

“Let’s have a seat.” Bill Sky said while holding her waist now with his right arm.

Then the three chefs went to them to get their orders.

“Darling, you order for us since you are our guest. We can eat whatever you like” Bill’s mom said in a happy manner.

“Oh. Okay then.” Arabella’s smile widened.

Arabella read carefully the menu and ordered. Her orders were mostly seafood and spicy foods.

Yes. She came here to save Farrah because she was left with no choice but it didn’t mean she will just obey him just like that. It didn’t mean that he can just play with her and control her with his hand. She’s not a puppet nor a dog that he can pet.

The other chef served them a fine wine and pour it into their glasses.

“Arabella. What a nice name.” His mother was really good at her.

“Thank you, Mrs. Sky.” She replied.

“You know we are so happy to meet you. It’s Bill’s first time to introduce a girl to us.” She was obviously happy while she spoke.

Arabella just smiled. ‘How can she treat me so well, even if she was ugly?’ she thought. Compared to them, one can say they are the most elite in Capital Z. His mother is the most elegant woman she had ever seen while his father is the most powerful.

The good thing about his family is that they are super rich, but they don’t look down on people. That made her somewhat hoping that it was nice to be their true daughter in law.

“So, tell me, when is your wedding?” Bill’s dad suddenly spoke to Bill.

Arabella was frozen and her nerves were shaking uncontrollably. She felt very cold in an instant.

His dad was not powerful for nothing. He was indeed very straightforward.

“We are on it. Will announce if it’s final.” Bill quickly retorted.

Like father, like son.

“The sooner the better son.” His father ordered. It was brief but carries a powerful command.

“How about the end of this month Darling? It’s a full moon. It’s a good day for marriage because it will grace your union with tender romance and blissfulness.” Bill’s mom quickly added.

“What do you think Arabella?” Bill’s dad was speaking to her now. His eyes were all on her.

‘Gosh. What could she possibly reply?’ Arabella thought nervously.

Arabella grasped her two hands together under the table as she felt very cold.

Suddenly, she felt a big hand had touched her hand and squeezed it a bit. It gave her warm and she was back to her calm.

“Hmm… I’ll go for whatever Bill’s decision.” Arabella gathered herself and tried to smile confidently.

“Okay then, let’s do it.” Bill said while squeezing her hand tighter under the table.

Arabella was frozen again.

“Oh. Then that’s a great news. We are very happy son. I will prepare everything. This should be the grandest wedding in Capital Z.” Bill’s mom obviously couldn’t contain her happiness.

Arabella looked at Bill Sky with a smirk. ‘How could he approve just like that?’
