You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 212

Arabella’s cellphone rang again.

It was an unknown number.

‘William… No! Please no!’

She felt tensed up. Her nervousness was eating her up and her breathing became erratic.

“Arabella, are you, okay?” John asked worriedly.

She smirked and managed to put up a smile at John.

John wasn’t her close friend.

They only knew each other because of Lira.

For some unexplainable reason, she could see William Zimmer in his aura.

Maybe because of his smile or maybe she was just imagining things.

She didn’t know what to think of so she decided to make an alibi to get out of the place.

“John, I have to answer this call and I have to go back to work so I have to excuse myself,” Arabella uttered politely.

It was absurd that she had this kind of feeling for John.

What if she was wrong? It’s not fair if she would treat him poorly because of his baseless doubt.

“Are you sure you’re, okay?” John asked her again.

“Yeah,” Arabella smirked cutely.

“Okay. Nice to meet you here and see you again.” John said wearing his bright smile.

“See you.” Arabella nodded at him then quickly escaped the place.

She had no plan to go back to the office.

As she kept on walking in another direction, her cellphone kept on ringing.

As it rings, her hand shivered tremendously.

Until she was already annoyed running scared.

‘This should stop!’

“Listen to me, William. If you are really William Zimmer…Take your medicine and forget about me!” She answered and bombarded the caller.

“Arabella...It’s me, Eric… Eric Grant.” The caller’s voice was shocked.

“Oh! Sorry.” Arabella could only mutter. She was ashamed of her behavior then she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Did I hear it right? Someone is threatening you?” Eric’s voice was worried.

“Hmmm…” Arabella was caught in the middle of uncertainty.

She was not also close to Eric.

How could she share her problem with him?

“It’s…. I…. never mind.” She tried but she staggered.

“Where are you now?” Eric asked worried and serious.

“I… I’m in the street.” Arabella answered.

“Send me your location. I will come to you.” Eric quickly ordered then dropped the call without waiting for her approval.

He seemed to be very worried for her.

Arabella was caught again in the middle of uncertainty.

She didn’t know what to do with Eric Grant though she saw a friend in him from the first day they met.

He helped her find the lost billion-worth necklace.

He consoled her in the hotel lobby when she had a problem with Bill Sky.

Admittedly, Eric pacified her with his company that night.

Maybe because they share the same interest in playing the piano that’s why she appreciated his company.

Arabella didn’t know what to think.

Eric was asking for her location.

Is she going to send it?

She heaved a sigh of frustration as she hailed a cab absentmindedly.

“To the nearest park, please.” She said to the driver.

Yes!

She had to find a breather and think for a while.

She didn’t want to go back to the office nor go back to Bill’s house.

After she reached the park, she sat on the bench under a big tree.

The fresh air in the park was a healer. It relieved her from anxiety that she forgot everything for a while.

Then she closed her eyes enjoying the moment of peacefulness in the park.

After a few minutes, her cellphone rang again.

She slowly opened her eyes.

It was Eric.

“Gosh!” She muttered in the air.

She had forgotten him.

Arabella was about to decline his offer as she didn’t want to bother him.

When she was about to answer the call, her eyes landed on the white rose beside her.

She was sure there was no flower on the bench when she sat there earlier.

Her spikes instantly lifted.

With a shivering hand, she got the white rose and read the message on the small card attached to it.

‘You look beautiful today. W’

Arabella’s eyes widened and dropped the white rose.

Her heartbeat was crazily pumping fast while she looked around.

She could not be mistaken.

This white rose and the message from W, the man was William Zimmer.

William was stalking her even before.

Even when she was living in country N.

This can’t be!

She was getting paranoid as her nervousness was surging up.

Eric was calling her again.

Without wasting any time, Arabella answered the call.

“Eric, I’m in the Central Park.” Arabella quickly answered.

“I’m near the area. I’m on my way now.” Eric replied quickly.

Arabella was uneasy walking near the pick-up spot as her eyes were still wandering around.

She left the rose on the bench and her mind was occupied with W.

It stands for William Zimmer.

She had thought of it before and now it was confirmed.

William Zimmer was watching her for a long time.

She couldn’t believe it.

She thought William’s family was taking care of him.

She was at peace thinking that William was already mentally okay as she closed that part of her life with William.

“Get in.” In just a quick minute, she heard Eric’s voice.

She was snapped back to her senses and quickly went inside Eric’s car.

Eric drove swiftly away from the place.

“What happened there?” Eric asked worriedly.

“It’s a long story.” She heaved a deep breath.

“I’m willing to listen,” Eric said coherently.

Arabella looked at the man who was full of sincerity.

His expression made her calm.

She felt she had found another reliable friend in Eric’s personality.

His sincerity for her was shown all over him.

It made her feel like talking and sharing everything with him.

She heaved a heavy sigh again.

Eric brought her to a restaurant with a view of the sea.

The place was very relaxing for the soul.
