You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 3

After the incident last night, Arabella spent her day sleeping on her bed. She didn’t mind the time. Her body was still in a deep shocked. ‘That man is really a scumbag!’ she tightened her hug on her pillow while thinking of the arrogant man last night.

She tried to remember his face, but it’s like a puzzle with a missing piece. ‘Who is he?’ She was curious and at the same time anxious, but she couldn’t figure it out. She didn’t even remember how she got out of that place.

Jason Hansen, her ex-boyfriend contacted her last night to have a good closure. He dumped her like trash when his family knew the mess she went through. His ex-boyfriend is the CEO of Hansen Group next to SKY Corporation. He is famous in Capital Z with his stunning good look and powerful aura that one can be easily intimidated.

Jason was her boyfriend for almost 5 years. They had been classmates abroad. Their families were close ever since and he was her childhood sweetheart. Too bad, she needed to live with her Aunt abroad. Half of her life, she was living abroad. She never thought that they will meet again. There, Jason seriously courted her and they became university couple.

Jason was her first love and her first kiss. Many times, Jason asked for her virginity, but she refused. She will only give it to him as a gift on the night of their wedding.

Jason clearly understands and respect her reason after all it is all for him so they ended up cuddling each other on the sofa whenever they hangout.

After their graduation, Hansen went back home to manage their company while she stayed abroad pursuing her career. Hansen never failed to visit her in every special occasion like, their anniversary, Valentine’s Day even Christmas and New Year’s Holidays.

She once thought, Jason was a perfect husband for her.

She once thought that she had a perfect life.

She once thought that she was the perfect daughter in the family.

Until she decided to come back home to surprise her parents, but to her dismay, her mom broke the news to her.

“Your father has a mistress!” her mother cried out loud while trembling with tears in her eyes.

“Your dad already confessed to me about his affair of that woman long time ago.” She added in a sad voice while tears keep flowing from her eyes.

Arabella knew her mother very well. Her mother is the most ‘martyr’ of all living things here on earth.

“What? Why, I didn’t know about this? Am I a little too late?” Arabella was shocked.

She was very disappointed with her father. She used to be her Hero.

When she was young, they used to be her inspiration. She witnessed their sweetness in front of her and to all the people surrounded them. Her mom is very caring and loving and her dad is also sincerely sweet to her mom. One can say they are the definition of a ‘perfect in – loved couple’.

She even dreamt to be just like them when she will have her own family in the future.

She even dreamt of a husband just like his father.

She idolized her family so much. ‘But what happened now?’ Arabella was lost on her thought.

This news for her was extremely horrifying. ‘What happened to their love for each other?’ She couldn’t move, she couldn’t stand the fact that her perfect family was completely ruined.

“Where is Dad now? I want to talk to him!” She was so angry. She wanted to meet her dad and throw the blame to his face.

She had so many questions in her mind that only her father could answer. She needed to get the right answer or else she would explode.

At an early aged, she was trying too hard to be the perfect daughter for them. She let them decide for her life without any complains just to make them happy. She was an obedient daughter. Whatever they want, she just gave it to them. She always challenged herself to be the best of everything so they will not get disappointed. And at present, she got used of being the best of everything she does and ended up being a perfectionist.

All her friends, colleagues and other people around envy her so much. She has the perfect family, a perfect boyfriend and a perfect career and beauty. What more could she ask for? One can say she got all the luck in the world.

If only they know that her life is in a big mess right now. ‘Ha! Ha! Ha!’ She feels like laughing in disgrace and she felt like wanting to punch someone to release her anger.

“He is not here. He flew to N City with her mistress for a business trip.” With annoyance, Jaime cut her thoughts.

“What? Are you okay with that mom? This set- up is so bizarre!” Feeling perturbed, she retorted angrily.

“Listen up, I love your dad so much. I accepted already the fact that he has a mistress and I agreed not to interfere with his relationship with that woman as long as he lives here with me.” Jaime explained with sincerity in her eyes.

“What?” That’s the only word she can say. She was dumbfounded upon hearing these words from her mother.

“I’d rather die without your father. We can still be happy, right? Come on Arabella! You just need to accept it.” Facing her with sincerity, convincing her to accept the situation easily.

“Unbelievable! Well, sorry I am not like you, mom. If Dad will stay in this house with all his dirty affairs consider me gone here” Arabella couldn’t contain it anymore. She stood up and swiftly ran directly to her room slamming the door. She was heart – broken. How come her ideal family became a mess like this?
