You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife

Aside from Damien, only one person knew her landline number. Whenever there were contact details that needed to be filled up, she always used her mobile number.

“Go ahead and answer it.” Damien said to her nodding his head. “I will take care of Adam’s breakfast.” He added.

Arabella looked at Damien with a thankful expression and strode towards the telephone. Her mind was a bit messy right now thinking about the call.

“Hello, Farrah.” She quickly greeted. She registered a landline number for only one reason. It’s for her best friend.

“Bestie, your mom…” Farrah’s voice was shaking in the other line.

“Tell me… what about my mom?” She asked worriedly.

“Good news, she is asking for you. She wanted to see you. But…” Farrah reported but stopped with hesitation to continue.

“But what, Farrah?” Arabella was very happy to hear that her mother was asking for her. For so many years, she didn’t recognize her as her daughter and she allowed herself to be trapped in her trauma.

“Hmmm… Bestie, please get a hold of yourself… Your mom had a brain tumor that grows and spreads rapidly every day. Her tumor grew unnoticed and just these past days, after her MRI, we saw it’s already big. My brother said it’s dangerous for us to take it out as this may cause her to die upon the surgery. Chances are if she will be lucky, she may live up to 6 months but if not…” Farrah’s words were staggering and liked weighing on her chosen words but still, she explained non-stop as she was afraid, she had no guts to tell Arabella the bad news at all. Telling or not telling her were all difficult.

Farrah was the one who took care of Arabella’s mom. She represented her guardian on behalf of Arabella but Arabella financed her mom’s medical care in a center that specializes in traumatic persons in Capital Z.

Arabella felt shattered again. She was unable to find any words to say. Her mom had suffered enough and now with a tumor in her brain, she would be in pain again physically. Her tears came down instinctively as her heart was crying deeply. She didn’t want to blame her God for the tragedy that happened in her life. All she could think of was one person that was being responsible was Bill Sky.

That day when she got a gift and a flower in the hospital, she had no time to waste and just texted Farrah about her condition and her mother.

‘My dearest Farrah,

Please take care of my mother for me. I don’t know where I am going right now but I know my mom is safe with you. I will contact you again soon.’

Then she threw her phone leaving without any trace of her.

She couldn’t tell her what’s her real reason for leaving as she didn’t want Farrah to be involved in her troubles and also for her best friend’s safety.

“Bestie, are you there?” Farrah sounded worried that made her snapped back to her senses.

“Yeah.” Arabella was trying to hide her weeping as she didn’t want Adam and Damien to notice her.

“I think it’s time for you to come back, my friend. 6 years is enough for you to hide. Be with your mom for her remaining days.” Farrah was right. It had been so long that she abandoned her mom for her own mom’s safety.

That time in the hospital, she received a printed note was placed on top of the black bouquet.

The message:
