You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 224

The night was getting late, Arabella couldn't sleep.

She kept tossing on her bed.

Her mind was thinking of the party earlier and Bill's dreadful expression.

She wanted to see Bill.

She wanted Bill to be beside her.

She wanted to talk to her to know what was inside his mind at the very moment.

Her mind was preoccupied with the man who was inside the study room for 5 hrs. now.

It was not the usual. He was always on the bed at this late hour.

Ever since she lived with him, Bill never spent more than 2 hrs. in his study room.

Meanwhile, Bill was looking at the evidence that was sent by his special investigator.

His eyes were sharp as a hawk. His hands were like sharp claws fisting hard.

He paused, reminded, and played back again and again.

His mind was out of what his eyes were seeing.

Then when Arabella's pretty face was caught in the venue, Bill paused again and zoom in on Arabella.

He heaved a deep sigh.

Her eyes were innocent.

Such a beautiful woman that his eyes would not get tired seeing her every day.

His eyes wanted to see her everyday. She was like his eye's vitamin that would not sparkle if Arabella was out of their vision

It took him a long time to playback the video several times and reviewed some data pointing to her wife when someone knocked on his door.

Arabella heaved a deep sigh when no one answered.

The light was still on inside the room so she wondered if Bill had gone asleep while working.

"Bill, can I come in?" Arabella sounded holding the doorknob but she didn't get any response.

She heaved a deep sigh again. Just when she was about to go back to her bed, the door opened.

Bill showed up looked at her and imprisoned her with his embrace.

"You miss me?" Bill sounded.

She could sense Bill was tired.

She tapped his shoulder then guided him to the bed.

Silence invaded the room. Arabella was just observing the situation. As for her, Bill's mind would be somewhere else.

Perhaps, he was still thinking about the project.

Thinking about his thoughts, Arabella hugged him.

Bill let her lay on his shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Arabella could not help but ask.

"With you, I am." He plainly answered as he kissed her forehead.

Arabella held Bill's hand and interlocked their fingers as she closed her eyes.

"Goodnight. I love you." She muttered amidst the silence and coldness.

"I love you too," Bill replied.

The romantic plan that they had earlier was gone.

Bill's interest in her seemed disrupted by his loss on the project.

The next morning was not a good day for Sky Corporation.

Their stocks instantly plummeted.

Stockholders were in a panic as this never happened to this kind of mess before for so many years.

It was record-breaking that the stocks of Sky Corporation were going down.

For so many years this company is always stable and strong.

Now, the news spread like wildfire.

Different bad rumors spread fast around the country and it included bankruptcy.

Bill and Arabella went back to Capital Z immediately.

Losing the project made the company in a terrible state.

Bill worked overnight in the company to solve the problem.

It had been 3 days Bill was always sleeping in his office.

Kelly left Bill's house after the incident with Arabella.

The most painful of a mom was being pushed away by her children.

Kelly was very disheartened by Bill's words.

He chose Arabella over his own mom.

The good relationship of mother and son got broken because of one woman, Arabella.

Kelly gone madder at her.

In this lifetime, she swore that Arabella to pay for whatever she had done.

Kelly believed that sooner, Bill would see the true color of Arabella and he would realize who truly cares for him.

She was sure that, she is not Arabella.

Now, Bill's company was in big turmoil.

Arabella was always in his side supporting him.

She went every night to Bill's office to bring him food and clothes that he needed.

She wanted him to feel her support.

Whenever she was in his office, Bill ate the food she prepared then he would quickly go back to an online meeting or study some data of the company. Sometimes, Bill had non-stopped long talks on his phone. She seemed not to exist in his office as he was always busy. He even had no time for her to even spare her a glance.

At late night, she offered to stay in the office with him but Bill always refused her.

He would reason out that Adam needed her more in the house.

In the morning, different meetings were held in the company preceded by Bill.

Before she went to her office, she see to it to see Bill first and delivered his food and some of his suits.

Sometimes, she saw Bill was sleeping on his table, and sometimes he was on his sofa.

Without any long conversations, she would just kiss him sweetly before she walked out and Bill also kissed her back.

It was their new routine in the morning.

As a new VP, she was always present in every internal meeting but she was there just to listen.

Everyone knew that she acquired her position through Bill's grandfather's will so Bill asked her to learn first the business flow.

She was allowed to sign but once reviewed by the assistant VP who served the company for 25 years.

She felt intimidated sometimes and in the company, the staff saw her with less value like she was not capable of being the VP.

Arabella knew all these but she didn't care at all.

"Lira, how's your boss?" Arabella asked Lira on the phone.

Tonight, she was going to deliver dinner to Bill.

"Ms. J, sorry but I'm already out of the office. When I left, Mr. Sky was still there but I'm not sure if he was still there now. Should I call him for you?" Lira asked politely.

Her boss had released her early.

"It's fine Lira. Have a good night." Arabella quickly refuted as she didn't want to disturb Lira after office hours.

Employees had also personal lives to handle.

Overworking would break the work and life balance.

She was sure at this time, Bill was still in his office so she packed everything she needed to bring.

"Mom?" Suddenly, Adam sounded.

He entered the room wearing his pajamas.

"Honey, I'm going to surprise daddy in the office. You want to come?" Arabella asked with sparkled eyes.

Hearing her, Adam's eyes sparkled too.

"I would be glad to come, mom." Adam excitedly answered.

He wanted to see his dad as their schedule in the house didn't meet.

These past few days, Adam had no chance to see his dad after school.

He was always busy and whenever he called him, Adam couldn't push through as his dad's line was always busy.
