You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 31

“Do you have a good sleep?” Bill’s face was very fresh. There’s no trace of tiredness on his face.

Arabella did not say a word as she felt shy. She simply nodded at him and maintained her low gaze.

Duh. She didn’t even know what to talk after sex. She’s blushing.

“Get ready tonight our marriage will be announced.” Bill said while drying his wet hair with a white towel.

“Tonight, is my father’s birthday.” He added.

She secretly looked at Bill. He seemed to be so fine after they made that wild thing last night. There had been no uneasiness on his face even just a little. He was really an expert!

“Bill, of what happened last night, do you think we should continue the contract?” Arabella uttered in a low tone.

Bill stopped from what he’s doing and walked towards her.

“Why not? Are you afraid that you would fall in love with me?” Bill said in a cold tone and frowned.

“No! It’s just that I feel guilty about it with Trishia around.” Arabella said truthfully.

“Don’t bother yourself thinking too much about that. You two have big differences.” Bill replied.

Arabella’s heart was like stab with million knives. With what he said, he was just simply implying that Trishia was the perfect girl for him that he loved and she was only the fake one. Of course, how could she think too much of herself? She should not forget her position-to-be in Bill’s life.

“What about our contract? Could we actually follow it?” Arabella was still confused by her decision after last night.

“What exactly are you implying Ms. Jones?” Bill said in a playful manner. He knew how uneasy Arabella is. Her cheeked was red and she didn’t even look at him.

“No. It’s not that. Please don’t get me wrong. It’s just that we had done the physical thing. It was stated in the contract that it was prohibited. Right?” Arabella wanted to clear out everything with him.

Bill smiled and lifted her head to look at him.

“Don’t forget that you forced me to do it. You begged at me. Remember?” He smiled teasingly at her. This smile sent shivers to Arabella’s beings. Everything was still fresh in her mind not to mention her aching body that reminded her first wild night.

Arabella’s cheeks became redder.

“Because I was drunk.” Obviously, Arabella still very naive about drugs. She only knew what she did last night was due her drunken state.

“But you could have stopped it.” Arabella’s voice was as shy as she is.

“Why should I? Gosh! You’re too hot when you are drunk.” Bill was about to say that he was also drugged and drunk, but he chose to tease Arabella as he found her cuter when fooled.

Arabella blushed again. Bill was satisfied after seeing her overly rosy cheeks.

“Then why did you not let my friends bring me home instead?” Arabella’s felt like she needed to ask this question to him.

“Would you like to do it better with Enrique then?” Bill tone changed into a shallower one. His sharp eyes met hers.

Arabella didn’t know what to say. Of course, last night was her best night. If that was not the best then, she wouldn’t like sex anymore. How could she tell it to him?

Her cheeks were so hot in shyness. Why are they even talking about it now? Gosh! This was too embarrassing.

“Did you regret it?” Bill added as he saw Arabella was caught in her thoughts.

“Of course. That’s just a mistake. Let’s just forget about it.” Arabella tried to suppress her true feeling. She had to maintain her pride and dignity in spite of losing her virginity.

“Our parents will be expecting our presence tonight. My secretary will contact you later.” Bill just said and left. It was like he didn’t like Arabella’s answer or he didn’t care about it at all.

Arabella went out and saw a black luxury car waiting for her outside again.

She decided to go directly to her office.

The working atmosphere of her office was back in peace now. Thanks to Bill.

Her phone rang.

“Ms. Jones. This Ms. Sharon Mr. Sky’s office. Where are you now? Our driver will come to you.” Bill’s secretary, Sharon was on the other phone.

“What is this all about Ms. Sharon?” Arabella asked.

“I’m sorry Ms. Jones, It’s Mr. Sky’s order. Both of you will go to buy your gown for tonight’s birthday party of the old Mr. Sky.” Sharon explained.

“No need Ms. Sharon. Please tell Mr. Sky that I can handle myself. I will be in the venue tonight. Thanks.” After she finished her words, she hanged up. Arabella refused to follow Bill’s order. She’s not his employee. They had just been together last night and this morning, Arabella wanted to be on her own in the meantime, as she was living her normal life without Bill.

Her phone rang again.

This time, it was her mom.

“Arabella, I’m so happy to hear the news. Your dad will be very happy for you. You made the best choice.” Jaime, greeted Arabella with excitement.

If her mom will only know that she was just a contractual wife of Bill, she will not be as happy as that.

“Where did you hear that?” Arabella was curious though she had already the answer in her mind.

“Why you are very secretive to mommy? If it’s not for your Aunt Kelly, I wouldn’t have known it. So where are you now? I’ll go and find you. You must be the most beautiful woman tonight, okay?” Jamie said with full enthusiasm.

“I’m not in the mood mom.” Arabella’s voice was obviously tired.

How could she be in the mood? After tonight’s announcement, there’s no way she could still escape from their contract. 1 year of marriage with no love. 1 fucking year of her life will be wasted with Bill.

“Come on Baby, Is there something wrong?” Jamie asked.

“I’m okay, mom. Don’t worry about me. I’ll see you later tonight.” Arabella had no energy on her tone. She just wanted to be alone to think, so she turned off her phone and put it in her bag.

Her body was so tired from last night and today’s mental state. She decided to sleep in her private room adjacent to her office.

She then laid down on her small bed, there she found truly at peace.
