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

The call brought Arabella in a huge wave of surprise.

‘Eric Grant is the founder of the most excellent group of musicians…’

Her mind seemed still processing the information. Then, she was brought to the night in the lobby where he played the piano. Good was just an understatement for his skill.

He was outstanding!

She thought that night was her last time to hear Eric’s name, but she was wrong. Eric was so nice to recommend her to the group.

Did he also appreciate her playing?

She couldn’t help to think about it. She didn’t want to sound conceited, but she could always rely on her talent. The call made her mood bright even a little today.

Today, she would be with Bill and Adam to attend her son’s school event. She didn’t know such an elegant school would have an event like a family day. In Adam’s school before, she and Damien were always present. Good thing, Damien was always there to help her finish the day. It was known to all teachers there that Adam had no father and eventually the news spread like wildfire, and it came up to parents and Adam’s classmates so even Damien was there, she could still feel Adam had always been in a low spirit with this kind of event.

The difference was screaming on Adam’s expression today. His excitement and cheerfulness were extra specials. Maybe because he would be attending the family day with his real father.

His real family.

His complete family.

Bill didn’t bother her anymore when she chose to sleep with Adam at night. Thanks to Eric’s words of wisdom. It boosted her courage. Now that she was not sleeping with him, she didn’t even know if he went home every night, or he slept with Trishia or his other women. One thing she was sure of is that Trishia was taking her place as she saw them at the pool hugging the other night.

These days, she didn’t have to stay with the people in the house. She chose to stand her ground and spent most of her time visiting her mother and at night she chose to stay in Adam’s room. She had no intention of creating a fight and chaos with Kelly or Trishia. Whenever she arrived, she went directly to Adam's room and made sure she had her dinner outside. In the morning, she fixed Adam and sent him off to school with his own driver and car then she went directly to Jaime in the hospital.

Today was a weekend and she didn’t meet Bill for 3 days since she left in his room. She avoided him and he didn’t bother her anymore. In her mind, maybe because Trishia was good at accompanying him that he forgot to pester her. She knew Trishia was already in the house, but she had no time to accommodate her pretentious act. Thinking of the people in the house, she felt already suffocated. It seemed the air in the house wasn’t good enough for them to breathe.

Her train of thoughts was interrupted when she heard a knock on the door.

“Mom, are you ready?” Adam sounded behind the door.

“Coming.” She quickly answered and strode outside. Adam was very cute in his yellow shirt and black sweatpants. He gave her a sweet smile and reached out for her hand.

“Wait,” Arabella held his hand then knelt on one knee. She grabbed his rubber shoelace and fixed it. “There you go.” Arabella held his shoulders and kissed his forehead. Holding his hand, she stood up and they walked to the stair.

They would be all wearing yellow today as per Adam’s request. They would be the yellow team. Arabella had put on her yellow shirt and black leggings with a white sneaker and a ponytail. She looked like a high school student who wanted to register her name in a cheering squad.

Going down the stair, the mother and son were holding each other’s hands but soon stopped when they saw the man who was wearing a yellow shirt, sweatpants, and his rubber shoes.

Bill looked exactly, Adam.

Adam looked exactly like him.

She wanted to laugh at the sight of him wearing so casually. The man who always wore his suit and tie was nowhere to be found. His hair was messed up like he just raked it with his fingers so many times. Bill looked in their direction and she swore she saw him amused by her high school student look.
