You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 262

“Sir, the target was spotted,” Eric’s special investigator reported. “Adam Sky is in D City.” He added.

Eric was silent but he felt satisfied.

“Got it,” Eric answered.

After the call, he strode to his balcony. Feeling the cold air touch his face, he closed his eyes. He missed Arabella. He wanted her to come back to her. He wanted to see her again after his work cooking in his kitchen. He more liked the view in his garden every day whenever Arabella was there. His house felt so empty without her. Even though they were not sleeping together, Eric was still contented knowing she was just in the next room and they were living in the same house. Being married to her was his greatest fortune. He would never allow someone to ruin their marriage. Now that Arabella is already his wife, he would never let her go.

There is only one thing that Arabella would stay with him.

Adam.

He had to push hard on looking for Adam. Arabella would be happy if she would see Adam or he could bring Adam back but Eric could not help feeling unsure about it. He could see Arabella just wanted to leave Capital Z with Adam.

Just Adam, not him. It frustrates Eric. He was sure that Arabella would leave the country after getting Adam back but he wasn’t sure if she would bring him and Ivan. He’s sad about it. What if they were not included in her plan? What if she would still leave them?

Eric’s phone chimed. He got an email with an attachment. It was Adam’s photo.

Eric was caught in between telling her or just hiding it for a moment.

He was in a state of doubting their real situation. He doubted Arabella’s plan and her feelings towards him.

“I want a divorce, brother.” Meanwhile, Arabella sneaked Eric to talk about it. She just wanted them to be clear with their relationship. Arabella knew Rosy was waiting for her brother Eric and she believed Rosy is the best woman that could take care of Eric and Ivan. She would be the happiest if that would happen.

“Can you give me a chance? Can you give us a chance?” Eric was still in deep regret that their relationship took a messy way. It was very quick and they didn’t even enjoy each other as couples. Eric was blaming himself for flying abroad after that romantic night. After she accepted his love for her. How could he be so stupid? But it was his company was at stake at that time so he had no choice. When he came back, everything went mess.

“Please… don’t answer me yet… Please think about it first.” Eric told her holding her hands dearly. Admittedly, he didn’t want to hear Arabella’s answer. Not yet. He wasn’t prepared for it. He wasn’t prepared to lose her and he didn’t want to lose her. Never.

“Here.” Eric had no choice. He didn’t expect that Arabella would tackle the divorce issue for him. He thought about it earlier but with Ivan’s presence, he got rid of it.

When Arabella got the picture, her eyes automatically turned moist. Her hand with the picture was uncontrollably shaking. Her heart was beating rapidly as she could feel overwhelming happiness.

Adam.

She was holding Adam’s picture. From her perspective, he was not in Capital Z. The picture was taken abroad. That explained why Adam was nowhere to be found and why Adam still didn’t come home.

“My baby…” She whispered lovingly along with her uncontrollable tears. How she missed Adam so much. She wanted to hug her son. Tickle him until he drops to the floor laughing his heart out loud then made him giggle with her kisses. She wanted to ask him if he was okay. If he was eating nutritious food on time. If he sleeps early at night. What are his favorites now? Arabella looked at Adam in the picture dearly. Her eyes were full of longingness towards her lost son. Adam grew even more handsome. Honestly, she was looking at a younger Bill Sky. There was only one request in her heart and it was about Adam. She really hoped that Adam would not get any traits of his father. For her, Bill Sky is a living monster. She swore she do anything to bring Adam back to her as she believed with her proper guidance and love, Adam would not change. He would remain responsible, loving, and knows how to value others’ life.

“Shhh… I hope this picture would ease some pain in your heart.” Eric tapped her shoulder. He could see Arabella had become emotional with Adam’s picture.

Arabella quickly wiped her tears. “Thank you, brother Eric, for this.” She expressed sincerely.

Eric felt satisfied then he hugged her.

At this time, Arabella found comfort through Eric’s hug as she held Adam’s picture on her chest.

When Eric and Ivan had left, she put Adam’s new photo in a frame then she hugged it to sleep.

In the middle of the night, her door opened. She opened her eyes. The sound of the door made her panic. She quickly went to her drawer and find something sharp that she could use to defend herself. Then got her phone but she felt very unfortunate at this time as her phone’s battery was drained. She could not use it so she quickly kept it under her pillow.

Then the doorknob of her room turned right. Someone was trying to open her room. Her heart was beating so fast. Her nervousness made her want to explode.

Who is this?

Bad guys?

No… Bill Sky?

‘You owe me one child. I will come back.’

Bill’s words kept on bugging her mind. Probably, he came back to claim what she owed.

The more she thought of it the more her heart wanted to explode as it raced to the peak.

‘What are you going to do Arabella?’

Inhale… Exhale…. Inhale… Exhale…

She was trying to find her stability as she could feel her knees had softened.

She was trembling in fright. She was scared and she didn’t know what to do.

She quickly went to her bathroom and locked herself there. She hid in the shower room. It was the safest place for her.

She made sure all her senses were active. With the scissor in her hand, she swore Bill Sky couldn’t come to her without him being cut.

‘Calm down, Arabella.’

‘Calm down…’

She closed her eyes to clearly hear the noise outside. She was overwhelmed with intense nervousness when she heard the door of her room had opened. Her heart was almost exploding. She could not breathe. She didn’t want to breathe as at this time, she sensed danger. She could hear footsteps.

“Where’s the girl?” She could hear a hoarse voice of a man.

Arabella jolted. She was sure it wasn’t Bill Sky’s voice.

Could it be it was his men?
