You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 47

Arabella just lowered her head. She couldn’t face him for she knew her asking for money was too off. She was not the kind of person, but with her situation, she had left with no choice. Judging from Bill’s action, she knew Bill had misinterpreted her. Who cares? She needed the money to find the person who was behind in her father’s attempted killing. Too bad, her character would be very bad in Bill’s eyes.

“So, tell me, you didn’t leave me last night because you wanted that money?” The playful smile he was wearing earlier instantly vanished in the air. Admittedly, he expected too much of this girl in front of him. She saved his life last night and he thought that was all because of her genuine kindness. Guess he was wrong. That was his first time to appreciate a woman not by her beauty but with her inner side, but it seemed his first time was not a good experience.

“Yes.” She put all her courage to reply at him. She felt her lips were shaking but she tried her best to make it unobvious. Of course, it was a lie, but just to stop the interrogation process with him and finished what she needed to be settled, she answered him directly.

After hearing her words, Bill was disheartened. This woman in front of her was the same as all the other women who just wanted his money and used him as an easiest way to climb on top of the society. How could he forget for a night that she was Jane Foster? He was back to his cold demeanor after having his thought.

Bill crossed his arms on his chest, trying to calm his self and assess how to punish her. Money for him was nothing. He could give more than what was stated in the contract, but this girl way of getting it was out of his league. Pretending to take care of him in exchange of money, such a total gold-digger! His ego was not letting this woman go easily.

“Okay. I will give you the money. But there is one condition.” Bill with the wicked smile said.

“What condition?” Arabella with a questioning eyes met his.

Bill drew himself in front of him and then lifted her head to see his face closely.

“I want you to sleep with me every night. Starting tonight.” Bill ordered meeting her eyes. The other eyes were cold and bottomless and the other pair was horrified.

“What? That was so absurd! That was not in our contract.” Arabella screamed, trying to dodge herself from him. Because of her extreme shock, she almost forgot that she was just covered with a quilt. She then quickly tightened her grip on it.

“What’s wrong? You are already my wife now.” Bill obviously wanted to play more with the gold digger.

“Correction. A fake wife.” She sneered at him.

Bill frowned at her.

“But I am Bill Sky. If you need my money then you need to comply with my demand.” Bill with a cold tone said. His face and voice were obviously not into negotiation.

“You are very unreasonable. I already played my part in marrying you. The money was stated in our contract. I am just asking for the exact amount. I just need it badly.” Arabella didn’t think that it was really difficult to negotiate with this cold over-bearing man in front of her.

“For what?” Bill’s eyebrows met.

“I can’t tell you.” Arabella replied while lowering her head again.

“Okay then. I already told you what I want. Trust me, I don’t have patience. If you don’t like it, then you’re free to go.” He smirked at her. His cold facial expression was belittling her.

“What’s your answer Mrs. Sky?” He added with his face running of patience.

“No!” Annoyed, she quickly ran to her walk -in closet without giving him a glance. But how could she let to slip the chance away just like that? Where could she get that amount? Without the help of Bill, that’s very impossible for her to produce. But that man was so absurd. He was always bossy way too different from the man he was last night. That man from last night was fragile and knew how to beg. She regretted she didn’t have the chance to record everything last night. If she did, then who’s laughing now?

She quickly dressed up to find Bill. This time, she regretted why she answered him, ‘no’. That simply meant, end of the conversation. She didn’t find Bill on the ground floor. Where did he go? This time, she wanted to renegotiate. As if, she did have a choice. Now, she realized that living with this man would always be like a business negotiation and the sad fact was he would always get what he wanted and she would always leave with no choice.

Arabella sighed heavily like she was letting go the things that she couldn’t change.

When she went upstairs, she heard a noise coming from one of the rooms.

She stuck her ears on the door and gently pushed it open.

She was very amazed with what she saw. Bill was lifting her sexy muscled body in the air with the steel bars. He was so damn hot. The room was complete with gym facilities and one can see the outside view because of its glass wall.

“Ahem!” Arabella pretended to cough to get his attention.

Bill then stopped, but with a bad expression for being disturbed.

“What?” he asked then he continued seeing Arabella standing at the door.

“Can we renegotiate?” Arabella replied. She tried to be cute to capture his attention.

“Hmmm… You should know that I don’t give second chances.” Without gazing at her, Bill just continued his lift.
