You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 37

Arabella quickly hugged her mom and Farrah.

“I have to leave now my Baby. I have to catch up the plane tomorrow.” Jamie said to Arabella with a heavy feeling that she had to leave her daughter right after the wedding.

“Mom. I’m coming with you. You need me and dad there, right? Wait. I’m just going to change my clothes.” Arabella thought of another way of escaping Bill. Coming with her mom was a good idea since Bill already got what he wanted.

“No. You can’t do that. You just got married. You can’t just leave your husband and the guests here?” Jamie completely disagreed with her daughter’s decision.

“But mom. I missed dad. I want to go…” Arabella didn’t have a plan to back out, but she was cut by the voice at her back.

“Mrs. Sky, Honey! My parents want to see you.” Bill put his right arm on her shoulder and smile at Jamie like a very good husband.

“Mr. Sky, thank you for arranging everything for my husband and thank you for helping Arabella solved our financial problems.” Jamie slightly bowed her head as of showing her sincere gratitude.

“That’s how I love my wife.” Bill calmly said, but with a wicked smile.

Arabella was then stunned upon hearing the man on her side.

‘Liar!’ Arabella cursed him for making up story in front of her mother.

“Okay. I’m so much relieved to hear that you love our Arabella. Please take care of her. I have to go now.” Jamie quickly bade her goodbyes to the couple.

“Mom, wait. I wanna go with you.” Arabella was like a child holding her mom’s arm and not letting her go.

Bill grabbed Arabella’s arm and squeezed it tightly. As if he was reminding her to behave.

After the pain she felt, Arabella let go of her mom’s arm. Then Jamie took the opportunity to stride as fast she could to the helipad area where a black chopper was already waiting for her.

Farrah saw everything how Bill treated Arabella.

“Mr. Sky, Hi, I’m Farrah, Arabella’s best friend.” Farrah formally introduced herself to Bill as she raised her hand to him.

Bill shook her hand with a smile on his face. Farrah was ecstatic to see her idol in front of her that close. He was really the most handsome CEO. He had and elegant demeanor, but with a powerful aura. Arabella was so lucky to be with him everyday even if they don’t love each other. Waking up in the morning beside him was something to die for.

“Hi. Ms. Beautiful. I’m Marcus. Bill’s cousin. You are?” Marcus from behind butted in and raising his hand directed to Farrah. He was married but still liked to play with girls.

Hearing that he was Bill’s another cousin, Farrah put up a fake smile on her face. She was about to shake Marcus’ hand, but suddenly some other hand shook hers and held it tight. Farrah was a little shocked. She looked at the owner of the hand who held her. It was Gab. Before she knew it, Gab put her hand in his pocket locked with his hand.

“Woah! Did I miss something here?” Marcus’ facial expression was puzzled.

Bill just smiled at Marcus with his effortless cuteness. He never saw Gab’s possessive side.

Arabella and Farrah looked at each other. Farrah was like asking for help at Arabella.

“Marcus, she is off-limit. She’s my date for today.” Gab replied to his cousin with seriousness in his tone.

“Chill man. I just want to make friend with Arabella’s beautiful friend. Okay? I didn’t know she's already yours. Okay then, I’m out of here.” Marcus had felt that he had to leave immediately because he was already out of place.

After Marcus exit,

“Mrs. Sky, shall we go now? My parents are waiting for us.” Bill obviously wanted to detach Arabella from her best-friend Farrah. He saw the meaning of their eyes talking at each other a while ago. Thanks to his cousin Gab, he made Bill’s plan easier.

“Wait. Can I join you guys?” Upon hearing Bill’s words, Farrah went panic. She didn’t want to be with Gab alone.

“Yes. Of course, you can.” Arabella immediately got her best-friend. She quickly grabbed Farrah’s other arm to follow them.

“Ms. Fin, I think we need to give the newly wed time for each other.” Gab said while tightly gripping Farrah’s one hand inside his pocket. It was more like saying ‘You stay with me.’

“Yes. That’s exactly true. I need some time with my dear wife.” Bill added. Cousins minds truly think alike.

Bill quickly grabbed Arabella on his side again. Bill’s eyes met hers like saying ‘Behave yourself or you will be punished later’.

Arabella was a little scared of Bill’s gaze. She looked at Farrah and said, “I will come to find you, don’t worry. Will be just gone for a while” She wanted to pacify Farrah.

Farrah couldn’t do anything so she just nodded to Arabella. Then the two went away swiftly.

“Why are you so stubborn?” Gab couldn’t withstand his little annoyance to the girl beside him as he squeezed her hand under his pocket.

“Could you please let go of my hand now? Isn’t it obvious that I don’t want to see you?” Farrah was also irritated at him. She missed him, that’s for sure, but she couldn’t allow herself to fall into his trap knowing he had already Wendy and a son.

“So, would you rather go with Marcus than me? I’m telling you he’s already married.” Gab smiled at Farrah but with a mocking expression on his handsome face.

“What difference does it make from you having a son and Wendy but still flirting with me?” Farrah was really vexed. She hated why she still had feelings for him in spite of knowing the truth about him.

“Woah. Come on! Don’t be too serious. I’m just saving you from Marcus.” Gab said with a playful smile.

Gab was always like that. He never cared to explain anything and always left Farrah hanging on her madness.

“Okay then. I don’t need you to save me. I can handle myself. You don’t need to worry about me because we are nothing and we don’t have anything.” Farrah had felt that she was a bit harsh, but she needed to get rid of Gab. Farrah was actually afraid that she could not do it and give in easily to him.

Farrah forced her hand to escape from Gab but it was to no avail. Her hand was locked tighter by him.

“What are you doing?” Farrah said in an angry voice.
