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

Chapter 346: Long Awaited Freedom

Honestly, Arabella was very determined to leave, and deceiving Adam was the only way she could

think of now.

She didn’t have a plan to go to Eric’s house because she was sure that Bill would definitely find her

there.

She was going to Damien’s place for a while.

Damien bought the house for her but she rejected it.

Somehow, the key was with her because Damien insisted.

She planned to stay there just for a couple of minutes rather than she and Adam stayed at the airport.

Surely, Adam’s face would capture many eyes.

Since he was already publicly acknowledged as Bill’s son, the only heir of the Sky Corporation, she

could not risk Adam’s identity in public.

Of course, she could try to make his disguise but what about Adam?

He would surely question her and the fact that Adam was a genius, she had no escape from his

interrogation.

The important thing was to get out first from the mansion and plan again after.

One step at a time.

For now, the clear plan was to stay at Damien’s house then there, she would book them a ticket going

to no visa country because they don’t have time.

Then, she had to arrange her bookings in a hotel for a while.

There maybe she could find a very far province where it crosses islands to islands and where she

could rent a house good for the two of them.

After, she would plan for some other sufficient alternatives.

“Mommy? Why do you have bags? Are we going to live at Uncle Eric’s house?” It was a big question

though Adam was asking her with a wide smile on his face.

Even though his expression was puzzled, he still managed his cool.

“I will explain later when we are there. Do you trust me, honey?” Arabella looked at Adam with guilt but

she managed to say her words sincerely.

She didn’t know how to make Adam understand why she was doing it and why she wanted to get away

from Bill’s house.

She knew Adam might hate her for this but at this point, the only thing in her mind was to get out of the

place first.

Bill was probably in his private plane now crossing to another country.

Adam looked at her with his loving adorable eyes.

He nodded and hugged her. “Yeah. I trust you, mom. I love you.” Adam muttered sincerely.

His words made Arabella pacified.

Then, without a moment of delay, she grabbed his hand and strode out of the room.

Carefully checking around to avoid the servants.

She didn’t want them to wonder especially the master-servant as expected she would report her to Bill.

As much as possible, she didn’t want to be doubted by the people around her.

She just carried some things for Adam.

Just one backpack and one duffle bag.

The duffle bag was a bit big and heavy.

When she was packing earlier, her mind was in a deep mess so she randomly picked Adam’s clothes

and put them in the bag.

She wanted to bring a piece of luggage but that would make them very obvious. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

When everything was clear, Arabella and Adam went down.

The ground floor was also clear as they reached the living room.

She could hear some movements in the kitchen but Arabella didn’t mind it as for her they needed to get

out of Bill’s house.

She should focus on their escape.

Hopefully, there were no butlers outside.

With regard to the main gate, she would just make an alibi for the guard on duty there tonight.

She was sure she could manipulate the guard at the exit because she made friends with him the other

day.

She gave something to him like food, coffee, or anything that she could think of as part of her escape

plan.

They successfully reach the main door.

She was excited to go out because she knew outside this door was freedom.

Their long-awaited freedom.

She and her son were together and making a new life away from the oppressor Bill Sky.

When she held the handle of the door, she felt the long-awaited freedom was already in her hand.

Carefully, Arabella opened.

So excited to see the outside but she suddenly halted.

Someone was standing in front of them.

The person she didn’t expect to see.

“Daddy!” Adam sounded cheerful.

He quickly strode towards his dad then he hugged him.

Arabella froze on her spot.

She didn’t know what to do as she was caught with her bags.

She instantly trembled inside.

She avoided his gaze but she could feel his scorching eyes on her.

“Dad, we are going to Uncle Eric’s house,” Adam announced happily. “We are going to visit my brother,

Ivan,” Adam added without any hint of what was really going on outside their house.

Arabella didn’t know what to do.

Making an alibi was not an option.

Bill was not the kind of person who would believe in such senseless alibis especially coming from her.

“I’m afraid you cannot go tonight,” Bill replied to Adam.

His voice made Arabella tremble more.

Though it was calm, she knew his tone was dangerous.

“We are going somewhere, Adam,” Bill added looking at Arabella with deep dark eyes.

His expression was cold and his temper was controlled because of Adam.

Arabella panicked hearing Bill. Her mind was a mess.

It was possible that Bill would bring Adam and hide him again.

How could she handle this?

She would lose Adam again and this time, maybe... maybe she would not see him again.

Bill would never let him see Adam again because of her stupid plan.

Her heart became very heavy. She felt very nervous and devastated just having the thought of not

seeing Adam again.

She felt dying inside.

“But dad… Mommy and I …” Adam refuted but he was stopped by his father.

“Adam… We can visit your friend some other time. Okay?” Bill was serious.

His eyes were too.

Adam looked at his father as he nodded.

“Good… Good boy. Now can you go back to your room first? I need to talk to your mom.” He smirked

calmly at Adam.

“Sure, dad!” Adam replied. “Mom, dad said we are going somewhere tonight. So maybe we can see my

brother Ivan tomorrow.” Adam uttered at Arabella who was still rooted in the spot.

Arabella heard Adam but her mind was not processing.

She tried her best to collect all her composure and then she smiled at Adam and nodded.

“Sure, baby. We will do that.” She answered lovingly avoiding Bill’s gaze.

Adam left after her answer.

He was happy and satisfied that even though their plan was not going tonight they would have it the

next day.

Then the air seemed to stop circulating.

She could not breathe properly.

Her heart was thumping very loudly like a drum.

Now that Adam was not there, Arabella lowered her head.

She didn't want to meet Bill's stare even if she tried not to be guilty but her mind and body were not

cooperating.

She was scared of him like she was a theft being caught by the owner.

She felt very disappointed too that her plan was not to her luck.

She was very unlucky tonight.

The thing that worried him the most was his punishment.

Bill would never take things easy.

That is why she was scared because he would surely make her suffer.

Bill strode toward her.

The sound of his steps made her feel so anxious.

Her heartbeat was racing so fast.

Her knees softened and the trembling inside her surged up.

“Where do you think you're going?” Bill asked with a deep voice.

She maintained her head low.

She was not ready to face him as she didn’t want to see his mocking eyes.

“Hmmm…” She gulped trying to say something to cover the uneasiness she felt.

She didn’t want to admit that it was a pang of guilt.

She should not feel guilty as she knew it was Adam’s life she was protecting.

It was their freedom and it was their future.

“What?” Bill suddenly shouted impatiently.

She trembled so badly.

She knew he was already bursting into anger.

“I… We… we are just going to visit Ivan.” Arabella made a sound but she staggered though she tried

so hard not to be obvious, it was so hard on her part.

“Huh!” Bill chuckled like he could not believe what he heard and part of it was mocking her. “Do you

really think you can deceive me like my son?” Bill sounded strong and sarcastic.

He lifted her chin to face him.

She looked at him and was caught with his deep dangerous eyes.

She could see disgusted, pissed and all emotions mixed into one.

She felt so scared of him.

“I… I don’t know what are you saying.” She could only deny it as she could feel the coldness on her

own hands.

Bill was horrifying and she was scared of how he looked at her like his eyes were drowning her soul.

He was despising her and the fact that he was merciless when he punished someone who offended

him.

“Arabella, this is my mansion and you are in my territory.” He reminded her.

From the start, he wanted to test Arabella’s sincerity.

In his mansion, every room was on camera except his room.

Bill just watching her every move in the house.

He thought she would change but she didn’t.

“I brought you here with the purest intention that you can give Adam a complete family. I even offered

you the role of Adam’s mom and my wife. I offered you a family but you rejected it. You rejected us.” He

was holding her chin while he was mocking her.

He was full of disgust toward her.

He offered anything but she wanted to run away with his son when his son had the brightest future.

For Bill, Arabella was selfish.

She was just thinking of herself.

He regretted that he brought her there.

Even though from the start he knew that this would happen but somehow, he had some hopes that

Arabella’s mind would change.

After the night they shared, and seeing that Adam was in a good hand, he hoped that Arabella would

put worth in her son’s future as his only heir but he was wrong. Arabella didn’t grow up and she was

just thinking of escaping from him. She was so stubborn and her stubbornness was already crossing

his limits.

For him, he had already given her a shot but she failed.

“Look at me… Look at me…” He ordered gripping her chin.

His tone was wired with deep suspense.

She looked at him with tears rolling down her eyes.

She didn’t know why but she could control her stubborn tears.

Bill saw the tears but his anger was more than she could imagine.

“You are selfish!” He emphasized with a mocking face.

Then he forcefully snatched the duffle bag from her hand and threw it away to the ground.

Outside was cold and it became colder with the scene.

Arabella was shocked and panicked.

She felt Bill would do anything to punish her.

His words even hurt her more.

He may be telling the truth but she refused to accept it.

"Okay..." Bill released her. "Since you want to escape right? Since you badly want to run away..." Bill

paused for a while as he heaved a heavy breath before he continued. "Then, come!" He suddenly

grabbed Arabella's arm and dragged her. She panicked as she struggled. "Bill... no... please. no!" She

struggled strongly but Bill didn't release her. He was overly strong than her. He dragged her forcefully

and he had no plan to show mercy to her. He dragged her to the gate. She struggled hard. She knew

once Bill successfully dragged her out of the gate, she could not come back and see Adam again. Or

maybe Bill would hide Adam again from her. Maybe Bill was going to fly Adam to another country which

would make her very impossible to find her son.

The big gate was so near.

The guard was there and saw them but he quickly recognized Bill.

He didn't move in his position.

"Please help! Please!" She shouted for his help and not to be dragged outside. "Bill, please do not do

this to me, Bill, please... Please, Bill... Adam! Adam!" She began hysterically. She screamed helplessly.

Pleading, asking for help, and calling her son but no one heard her.

The guard seemed to understand what was happening, he quickly opened the gate.

Bill nodded at him then he stepped to the side in a standing still position.

"Bill, please do not do this to me. I'm not gonna do it again. Please...." She pleaded again but Bill didn't

listen.

She felt the bruises on her knees as she knelt on the concrete ground so her body would be heavy but

Bill still dragged her forcefully until they reach the gate.

He pushed her out strongly and her body shoved on the hard ground painfully.

"Now you are free," Bill remarked before he turned around. The guard closed the door.

With a heavy and painful body, Arabella stood up unstable but she managed to run to the gate. She

held the steel bars. "Please Bill, let me in. Please let me back to Adam. Please." She could see Bill'd

back but he never turned around until he slowly faded.

"Bill, Mr. Fred, Please let me in! Please! Help me! I want my son." She was talking to the guard that she

thought was already her friend but the guard went inside his guardhouse. It was his boss's order and

he could not afford to offend him

Arabella was left outside the huge gate.

Feeling the most painful. Her bruises were nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

She didn't want to give up even if she would stay there the whole night.

"Adam! Bill! Let me in! Please! Please! Please!" She shouted repeatedly until the unexpected heavy

rain poured down.

The night became very cold as she was soaked in the rain.

She was lost in the rain.

All of a sudden she was alone again.

She lost Adam again.

Her heart was shattered.

Her tears blended the rain with so much sorrow.

At the window, Bill was solemnly looking at her.
