You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 158

“Lira, I... need you.” On the phone, Damien sounded groggy.

“Where are you?” Lira worriedly replied.

“West Bar….” Damien answered then the call was hung up.

Rushing, Lira went out to get Damien out of the bar. She knew Damien was drunk again and it’s almost every night after Arabella didn’t go back to the apartment.

The night was late when Lira reached the bar. Damien was sleeping on the table while still holding a bottle of liquor. She quickly assisted him to stand up and walked to her car.

“Arabella…” He whispered then unbuckled his seatbelt to hug Lira.

“Damien, you’re drunk.” She whispered.

“Arabella…” He muttered again hugging Lira tighter.

“Damien, I’m Lira,” Lira answered.

Hearing her, Damien raised his heavy head to look at her. His eyes were glossy obviously floating from too much alcohol.

“I miss you.” He uttered sincerely looking at her eyes then he quickly put his lips on hers. At first, his lips were steady until they moved slowly.

Lira was stunned but what she hated the most was his kiss made her mind go blank and she find it hard to resist Damien. She knew his kiss wasn’t for her but there was something inside her that wanted to accept his desire even if it’s for another woman.

She wanted to save him from loneliness and she wanted him to feel that she was there for him always. Lira had done everything to avoid her feeling towards Damien for she knew Damien loved Arabella. She went to Capital Z even it was too risky for her just to avoid him but destiny brought him back to her. Who could have imagined that the man she avoided the most would be kissing her again? And tonight, he was full of emotions. His temperature was rising and his lips were heating up. Lira could feel his loneliness and how he missed Arabella so much.

“Damien, I am not Arabella.” Lira broke the kiss.

Damien rested his forehead on hers and didn’t say anything.

“I’ll drive to your apartment.” She offered to get hold of herself as she could feel tingling sensations crazily spreading all over her body due to his kiss and touches.

“Where’s the direction?” Lira knew he had rented a new apartment as he didn’t stay at Arabella’s place anymore according to Arabella’s neighbor.

“Hmmm…” Damien muttered, went back to his seat, and closed his eyes.

“Damien, you have to answer me. I don’t know where am I going to take you.” Lira was in a big dilemma. All she wanted was to leave him in a place where he could be safe. She wasn’t sure if she still could control herself if Damien would kiss her again. As of the moment, her heart was still beating fast like it could never be sober from his kiss.

“Damien,” Lira called trying to wake him up.

“#45, Golden Valley.” After a moment of silence, Damien answered with a very low voice.

Lira was shocked. Golden Valley was known as one of the most prestigious residences in Capital Z but without asking him anything she quickly started the engine.

All throughout the travel, Damien slept. When they reached his house, Lira unbuckled his seatbelt and assisted him to his house. Damien was heavy but the good thing, he could manage to walk a little. After they reached the door, he entered his security code and the door opened automatically.

“I’m going now.” Before stepping inside, Lira already excused herself.

“Hmmm… Can you at least lend me a hand to my room?” Damien muttered with an unstable posture.

Hesitant but still willing to help, Lira replied. “Okay.”

Damien reached the switches on his side and the lights opened in the living room. Lira’s eyes widened to see his place. It was very different from his house in country Y. His house was huge and has an elegant fixture. From the lightings and furniture, one could easily say that the owner of the place was rich.

“Is this your house?” Lira couldn’t help her curiosity.

“I rented it,” Damien answered with a drunk voice.

Lira nodded then held him tight so he would not fall as they were approaching the stair to his bedroom.

When they reached his bedroom, Lira loosened her grip on him. Damien entered another security code before the door automatically opened.

“Can you manage it here?” Lira’s heart was palpitating. She didn’t want to go inside his room as her memory brought her back when they had a wild night in his room back in country Y. The difference was she was the one who was drunk back then and now, it was Damien.

“I can’t,” Damien whispered to her so close in her ears that it made her ear instantly turn red and hot.

“I have to go.” Lira quickly got her pace and turned around to go away.

“Boggg!!!” Suddenly, a loud sound echoed the house. Lira quickly turned around to see Damien crash the floor. Regretful, she quickly ran back to him.

“Oh, sorry. Sorry. Did it hurt?” She asked, held him, and assisted him to stand then she delivered him directly to his bed.

She shoved herself on top of him as Damien’s weight was pulling her that causing her lost her balance.

For a while, she didn’t move as Damien seemed to sleep right away. She looked at Damien with pity and gently touched his eyebrow then to his nose down gently to his lips.

“What happened to you?”

“I know I am selfish.”

“I am sorry.”

“I miss you, Ba…” Lira took the opportunity that Damien was sleeping. She whispered everything that’s inside her heart but soon was cut when Damien slowly opened his eyes.

He then grabbed her and pinned her down. Lira was shocked and panicked by Damien’s sudden move. Instantly, she regretted that she didn’t walk away right away.

Damien rested his head on the crook of her neck while she was under him.

Lira’s breathing was unstable and her nerves were starting to contract as his body was pressing hers.

“Arabella.” Damien started to whisper.

“Damien, I’m Lira.” She answered under him.

After her words, Damien kissed her ear. The kiss made Lira’s heart skip a beat.

“I miss you so much,” Damien uttered with strong emotion.

“Why can’t you love me?”
