You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 130

“No!” Arabella looked at the man who had no glow on his expression. She clenched her fists very hard until she felt her nails dug in her palms. Stopping herself from punching him, she gathered her calmness but it seemed she had run out of calmness from the day she met him again.

“Out!” Bill’s eyes were killers. His voice resonated inside the office that made Arabella’s spirit jumped in fright.

Is he giving her a chance to leave?

But Arabella stood still. She refused to go out even if she already felt like running away. Suppressing all her fears, she managed to stay and looked at the man with fearlessness in her eyes.

The air in the room seemed frosty but she feels like burning lava.

“No. I need you to transfer my mom to your hospital.” Arabella’s voice was not pleading. She was more like giving an order to him.

“Okay.” Bill nodded repetitively while walking in a circle with her in the middle.

“So bold.” He added like a compliment but not.

Then he stopped in front of her.

“What can you pay?” Bill asked with dangerous eyes that could shake one's soul.

“Money. I have money. I will pay you.” She answered directly with no fear in her tone. She’s not the same Arabella anymore. Although she’s not that rich, she could give all her savings to him just to save her mom.

“Hmmm...” Bill smiled like he heard the biggest joke in his life. The smile was not pleasant but something intimidating.

“Are you buying me?” He sounded like he was already taking her in his mind.

“No. What I am telling here is that I can pay the service of your hospital for my mom. Just give her a slot.” Arabella almost lost her toughness when she uttered the word, mom. Thinking of her dying without her had done nothing made her back to what happened to her father 6 years ago.

She had the chance to save him but she failed. His life was in her hand but she let go of him.

The guilt shadowed her for 6 years and now by saving her mother, she might compliment that guilt 6 years ago.

“Then tell me, why should I do that?” Bill asked frowning. He was not literally puzzled but he was the same as telling as,’ Who are you? and Why do I need to help you?’

Arabella felt hopeless inside. His question was like a bolt of lightning struck her body that made her feel stiff. He was right, they have nothing and he had no reason to help her.

She felt like losing the fight already but she refused to surrender. She was unable to give him an answer as her words were stuck in her throat. She didn’t know what to say but her stubborn eyes had no plan of averting her gaze from his dangerous eyes.

Just when her phone rang again. She quickly looked at her cellphone. It’s her mom’s doctor. The pressure and nervousness in her heart heightened. She didn’t answer the call as she knew the doctor would make a follow-up about the urgent transfer of her mother.

Arabella put back her cellphone in her pocket. She needs to finish it away. She looked at Bill with cold emotion then gently strode to the bedroom.

Inside his bedroom, all of her trembled.

She didn’t know if what she’s doing is right. All she had in mind is to save her mom.

Time is her enemy. She had no time negotiating and making long talks with him. She knew he could make all things happen in just a snap of his fingers.

With cold sweats all over her, Arabella stood still in front of the bed. It’s the same bed where they shared before.

Then she heard the closing of the door behind her. She didn’t move, she just waited for what he wanted of her.

Then, she heard the steps slowly approaching her. Her body instantly quivered but still, she suppressed her uneasiness. For her, whatever will happen inside this room she will walk out with dignity.

The steps stopped but she felt him very close to her as his breath was brushing her neck. She held her breath as she felt like crying in the situation. She had left with no other option again when it comes to him while he can easily get what he needs.

She was already cursing the situation when he sounded. “Face me!”

She heard him but she kept unmoved. It’s not that she didn’t want to follow him but it’s her legs. They didn’t want to cooperate. She could feel her knees had softened but she didn’t want to show him that.

“Get out if you are just going to waste my time.” Who said she didn’t have an option? This is the second time he had given him a chance to escape.

Hearing his irritation, Arabella quickly turned around to face him. Their eyes met. This time, no one wore a glow in their eyes.

No sparks of joy.

No softness.

No love.

Nothing!

Only roughness could be seen in their eyes.

“Take off your ring.” With an overbearing tone, Bill ordered.

Arabella was shocked. She didn’t know that he noticed even a very small thing in her body.

She had promised Damien not to take it off but Bill just made her broke the promise. This was the only time she averted her gaze at him. She lowered her head, gently took off the ring, and put it in her pocket.

“Satisfied?” She raised her hand to show that there’s no ring in her hand.

Bill just nodded.

“Is your boyfriend know that you are here willing to bargain your body?” Bill asked with full of insults in his tone.

Arabella was liked slapped by million hands with his words.

Damien.

Her boyfriend.

How could she forget him?

“I am not here to bargain my body. You made me do this. And I believe that the matter of my boyfriend is private. I don’t need it to share with you.” Although she was holding her anger, she still couldn’t hold it all.

“Okay. Just to be clear, I am not forcing you. You are the one who came to me and it’s your own will to enter this room.” Bill was lecturing her while circling her again.
