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

“No!” Arabella looked at the man who had no glow on his expression. She clenched her fists very hard until she felt her nails dug in her palms. Stopping herself from punching him, she gathered her calmness but it seemed she had run out of calmness from the day she met him again.

“Out!” Bill’s eyes were killers. His voice resonated inside the office that made Arabella’s spirit jumped in fright.

Is he giving her a chance to leave?

But Arabella stood still. She refused to go out even if she already felt like running away. Suppressing all her fears, she managed to stay and looked at the man with fearlessness in her eyes.

The air in the room seemed frosty but she feels like burning lava.

“No. I need you to transfer my mom to your hospital.” Arabella’s voice was not pleading. She was more like giving an order to him.

“Okay.” Bill nodded repetitively while walking in a circle with her in the middle.

“So bold.” He added like a compliment but not.

Then he stopped in front of her.

“What can you pay?” Bill asked with dangerous eyes that could shake one's soul.

“Money. I have money. I will pay you.” She answered directly with no fear in her tone. She’s not the same Arabella anymore. Although she’s not that rich, she could give all her savings to him just to save her mom.

“Hmmm...” Bill smiled like he heard the biggest joke in his life. The smile was not pleasant but something intimidating.

“Are you buying me?” He sounded like he was already taking her in his mind.

“No. What I am telling here is that I can pay the service of your hospital for my mom. Just give her a slot.” Arabella almost lost her toughness when she uttered the word, mom. Thinking of her dying without her had done nothing made her back to what happened to her father 6 years ago.

She had the chance to save him but she failed. His life was in her hand but she let go of him.

The guilt shadowed her for 6 years and now by saving her mother, she might compliment that guilt 6 years ago.

“Then tell me, why should I do that?” Bill asked frowning. He was not literally puzzled but he was the same as telling as,’ Who are you? and Why do I need to help you?’

Arabella felt hopeless inside. His question was like a bolt of lightning struck her body that made her feel stiff. He was right, they have nothing and he had no reason to help her.

She felt like losing the fight already but she refused to surrender. She was unable to give him an answer as her words were stuck in her throat. She didn’t know what to say but her stubborn eyes had no plan of averting her gaze from his dangerous eyes.

Just when her phone rang again. She quickly looked at her cellphone. It’s her mom’s doctor. The pressure and nervousness in her heart heightened. She didn’t answer the call as she knew the doctor would make a follow-up about the urgent transfer of her mother.

Arabella put back her cellphone in her pocket. She needs to finish it away. She looked at Bill with cold emotion then gently strode to the bedroom.

Inside his bedroom, all of her trembled.

She didn’t know if what she’s doing is right. All she had in mind is to save her mom.

Time is her enemy. She had no time negotiating and making long talks with him. She knew he could make all things happen in just a snap of his fingers.

With cold sweats all over her, Arabella stood still in front of the bed. It’s the same bed where they shared before.
