You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 195

Morning came, Arabella lifted her eyelids slowly. The white ceiling greeted her eyes. A bit of headache struck her but she could feel that she had a very good sleep as she felt very light. Her mind was calm and empty, unlike the previous days. She wanted to get more sleep when her eyes landed on the arm wrapped on her waist.

She was quickly snapped back to her senses. She turned her head to the side to see the most handsome face her eyes had ever laid on.

Bill was sleeping beside her.

“What’s happening here?” She frowned while asking herself.

Then her memory traveled last night’s event.

“Oh Gosh!” She blurted out. She remembered walking in the hallway up to the stair but instead of turning left, she turned right. With her mouth wide open and eyes rolling, she was startled.

She entered the wrong room.

She was inside Bill’s room.

“OMG! Arabella, what have you done?” She wanted to choke herself for her carelessness.

What could be Bill was thinking of her last night?

That she climbed to his bed on purpose?

“No… no…” She uttered in the air with her exhausted thoughts.

Then her memory continued to dig deeper. She remembered Bill was hugging her before Trishia came.

“I hate you because you make me insane whenever you’re with another guy.”

“I hate you because I can’t take my eyes off you.”

“I hate you because I can’t sleep without you by my side.”

“I hate you because you keep messing in my mind.”

“What should I do to you?”

“There are many reasons why I hate you.”

“So many reasons but I can’t kill you.”

Bill’s words suddenly lingered in her mind.

‘Did I drink so much last night that I was imaging?’

‘Could it be just a dream?’

She frowned doubting her memory. She was mixed up with her memory and her dream. No one could believe Bill would speak such words. She believed Bill would never let her hear those words. His pride would not allow it and she was sure of that. Not with any woman especially not with her.

Bill would love no one but himself. Arabella was sure of that even from the start. A lion could not be turned into a lamb.

She glanced at him once more before she decided to get up. She should not be there when he wakes up or she would have a hard time defending herself why she slept on his bed.

She slowly lifted the quilt away then his arms but when she lifted her body Bill grabbed her waist back to its original position.

He hugged her tight not wanting to let go. She was rattled.

“Good Morning.” Bill sounded so sleepy at the back of her head.

“Bill let go,” Arabella ordered as she struggled to pull out herself from his hug.

“Hmmm…” He just muttered. His grip didn’t loosen.

“Look, I’m sorry that I’ve mistaken your room for Adam. I drank too much last night.” She just felt that she needed to say something as he may be thinking that she deliberately sent herself to his bed. She managed to gather her cool to avoid his suspicion.

“Hmmm…” He muttered again lazily.

“Okay. I will not bother your sleep. Have a good sleep.” He hugged her like a pillow.

How could she crawl out?

She managed to talk nicely to him than being arrogant. Firstly, it was her mistake and secondly, Bill would surely make it worst for her. After all, she was the one who entered the lion’s den.

“Let’s sleep some more.” Bill finally spoke. He seemed to have a very good sleep that he wanted more of it just like her before she realized that she slept in Bill's room.

“I’m fine. I’m good. I don’t want to bother with your sleeping. Adam will wake up so soon and surely he will look for me.” She could only come up with an alibi to release herself from his embrace.

“Adam is in school now.” Bill lazily announced. His gripped had never lessened.

“What?” She shouted in shock. His eyes landed on the wall clock. It was almost noontime. She slept very comfortably in his bed. Since the first day she got into his house, she had never overslept or maybe because she was very exhausted. Maybe her body was very tired and finally surrendered to sleep when it felt the soft bed.

Arabella heaved a sigh before she grabbed his hand away from her waist.

“Okay. So, the more I have to get up. What about you Mr. Sky, you are the CEO of Sky corporation. Slacking is a bad habit.” Arabella felt her alibi didn’t push through. Maybe pissing him off would work.

Bill didn’t answer but he didn’t loosen his grip.

“I just want to hug you all day.” He seemed just to whisper but Arabella heard it.

Is she really awake?

Is Bill flirting with her?

“What's wrong with you?” She asked confused.

Bill suddenly turned her around to face him.

At this moment, their faces were very close to each other.

Their eyes met.

Bill's arms were wrapped around her body. She had a confusing look. His eyes were digging deep into her soul.

“You and me… what about giving this marriage a try?” Bill was serious as his eyes never leaving hers. She could see the sincerity in his eyes but she had troubled to believe it as she knew how scheming Bill is.

Arabella blinked and averted her gaze. She could not believe what she just heard.

What happened to this man overnight?

She wracked her brain for reasons what he was up to.

Another trap? Another fun game?

Is his guilt was urging him to do it since the passing of her mom?

Doubting his words, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face then, she laughed a little.

She found it funny that the great Bill Sky would utter such words.

“You mean us?” She looked at him again with mockery.

“Hmmm.” He muttered.

“Sorry but I am not interested, Mr. Sky. This marriage is just for show. Remember? You don’t love me. I get it. I don’t want to interfere with your complicated life either. I only want Adam.” Arabella would not get tired of reminding him what she only wanted. To live with Adam alone and bring back their smooth life before when they were in Country N.

“Complicated life?” Bill frowned. His sharp eyes were pierced to hers.
