You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife
Chapter 17: Rivals
“What?” Arabella was stunned and couldn’t believe what she had heard.
“Check it out. It’s all over the news.” Farrah said with amusement.
Arabella quickly browsed the updated news online.
‘Top-notch bachelor, CEO Bill Sky of Sky Corporation was engaged to the famous actress Ms. Trishia Meyer, the only daughter of Senator Gregory Meyer.
Trishia Meyer was famous in Capital Z because aside from being the most popular actress, she also came from a family of powerful politician. Her dad was expected to run for the presidency next and also expected to win.
Arabella read the whole story. She felt quite at a loss. For some any reason she felt a sharp sadness in her heart that she couldn’t explain.
‘Gosh. Why do I feel this way? What we had was nothing. It’s just a chaotic, messy encounter which includes pestering, teasing and scheming.’ Her thoughts tried to calm her heart.
Maybe because this role was offered to her once. Maybe they had kissed twice and felt his warm hug when they slept together once. Maybe his scent and the complex sensation he gave to her was already installed in her body and couldn’t be removed anymore.
One thing Arabella was sure of was that Bill Sky doesn’t need her anymore. He doesn’t need a contractual wife anymore. She was a nobody to him now. They have nothing to do with each other in the first place. Bill Sky would not look for her now. Bill Sky would not pester her anymore.
Arabella knew that she needs to give up the hope that Bill Sky will help her. That’s merely impossible. She would make her his laughing stock. Not just for him, but a laughing stock to the whole city as he had already a fiancée.
Now that Bill Sky was already engaged, it’s just right that she keeps her distance from him. What she was about to do could mislead her attention and that would definitely ruin her reputation and to her family.
Arabella completely dropped her thoughts about Bill Sky. Let them be strangers forever. She put everything, even a small single thought about Billy Sky aside. Her mind is always pre-occupied with her family and company matter as she moved to their villa with her mom.
With her family problematic situation now, she needed to manage their family real estate company.
Their company was on a brink of bankruptcy since her dad is still in a coma. Her dad was the President of their company, but when she replaced his position, she found out that the company is under huge debts.
They need to find great investors to their new project so they can get over the crisis.
Next, she needed to find legal evidence so that her father’s case will quickly move forward.
Again, these problems were very easy if only he can ask Bill Sky for help freely. Arabella shook her head for thinking him again.
She shook her head of the thoughts of him again.
The next day, Arabella’s company received an annual banquet invitation letter from the City Business Chamber. The party will be held tomorrow night.

Instead of working in their own company, he pursued his profession as a doctor. He is a famous surgeon in Capital Z. He is a genius in medical field and is devoted to study new research that’s why he doesn’t have time to socialize. He doesn’t like to talk much and doesn’t like noisy people and places.
