You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 52

Arabella arrived in the Central Bank. It’s the biggest bank in Capital Z. With her body staggering, she managed to encash the check from Bill. Before she entered the bank, she already had the sight of the white box truck.

“Are you okay, ma’am?” The bank manager asked her as her face was as pale as a ghost and she was nervously shaking.

“I’m fine. I’m just a little bit cold, maybe because of the cold air coming from the AC.” It was just her alibi. She clearly remembered that caller’s demand to act well and avoid suspicion. How could she let her lousy acting be a hindrance to her goal?

“Okay then, everything is ready.” The manager said delightedly.

“Please ask some of your staff to help me load the money in my truck.” She intentionally used the word ‘my’ to avoid suspicion.

“Sure. Consider it done, madam.” With a smile, the manager called someone and ordered to get more people to help her load the money.

The loading was successful. She was about to jump inside the white truck as per the caller’s instruction, but the door automatically closed and locked, then it furiously ran away leaving her in an awe.

“Hey! Give me back my money! Stop! Give me back my money!” Arabella chased the truck though it was impossible for her to catch it. When she felt her air had run out, she kneeled on the ground. At this moment, her body was shaking in anger. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in annoyance of herself for easily trusting the person on the phone. Even if that was not her money literally, but she ruined her name just to get it. She knew exactly what Bill was thinking of her. ‘Wow! Her named ruined just to be deceived by someone. What a great life!’ Her hopelessness invaded her while she was walking on the sidewalk lost in her thoughts. When suddenly, two persons grabbed her at the back and covered her nose with a handkerchief. Then, she felt her head was so big that he couldn’t carry it because of its heaviness and then she felt dizzy and she collapsed.

She tried to wake up from her unconsciousness, but her eyes were too heavy. She could only open a little and all she could see was darkness. She then realized that she was inside a running vehicle and her hands and legs were tied. She tried to shout for help, but her mouth was covered with tape. All the small sounds she could made just echoed inside a metal container. She tried to struggle, but her body was weak and could not cooperate. Her dizziness was still all over her body. She remembered the handkerchief they covered on her nose a while ago, it seemed it was the cause of everything she had felt right now. ‘They already had my money, why they still kidnapped me like this? This isn’t the plan. I can go with them voluntarily, according to the plan.’ Even in her dizziness, she could not help thinking the things that continuously popping out in her mind.

An hour had passed and the black truck stopped in an abandon building of a remote area away from the city.

Two persons opened the truck and dragged her out. Though she was nervous to death, she pretended that she was still unconscious.

“Tie her up on the chair!” An angry voice of a woman echoed in the room. Arabella’s ears stood up when she heard the woman’s familiar voice, but she couldn’t confirm it for now as she was afraid to be caught when she opened her eyes. She needed to act well for her to get out alive. Though her mind was still confused about everything that had happened. It happened too fast and all she knew right now that she was in a great danger. She should think of a way how to get out from there as fast as she could before it was too late for her.

Still pretending to be unconscious, a strong man tied her upper body on the backrest of the chair.

“Get up!” A roaring sound from the man came out while kicking the chair.

Goosebumps! That thunderous voice was also very familiar to her.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to put a cover in her eyes first?” Judging from the girl’s voice, she was worried to be identified.

That was the second time she heard the woman’s voice. If she was not wrong, she’s Sharon, the secretary of Bill Sky. Could it be Bill had something to do with this? Is this his revenge on her after what she had done to him last night? This is absurd!’ There was still something Arabella wanted to find out. The voice of the man. She knew she heard him somewhere, but she couldn’t determine where.

“No need. I’m going to kill her anyway, then let her see us. At least she would remember our faces when she dies.” The man said.

This can’t be! This was the second time he heard the man’s voice. Lots of goosebumps came out when she finally recalled the voice. She quickly opened her eyes in disbelief and yes, she was not mistaken. Her eyes grew wide when he saw the owner of the voice was none other than Officer Jackson.

At first, she couldn’t barely recognize him as she was used to see him wearing his police uniform. This time, he was in a civilian wearing a black leather jacket and a denim pants with a hat that covered his forehead.

“Good thing, you are already awake, Lady.” Officer Jackson frowned at her.

Sharon was a bit shy and was about to run out, but realized that it was too late for her to do it as Arabella already saw her.

“Is it you on the phone?” Arabella was shaking with goosebumps all over her body, but she refused to just die without knowing the truth.

“If not me? Who else? Who could probably have all the evidences first? No, other than me. I was the one who investigated the site first. I cleaned up everything.” Officer Jackson smiled at her menacingly.
