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

Chapter 309: Girl's Night Out

She just wanted to let her dad's words pass but it irked her so much that she could not control it. After

she saved him, he was still Trishia's supporter, protector, and the greatest father anyone wanted to

have but not her.

She felt the man was no longer her father. He was only the father of Trishia now and she was like

abandoned miserably.

She felt bullied by her own father. Her heart could not take it anymore. It was like bleeding

tremendously and was sliced deeply by the sharpest blade.

Arabella didn't want to shed tears but her stubborn tears skipped from the corners of her eyes. For a

while, she let it fall to the ground. With her head low, she saw the ground quickly covered by her tears.

She clenched her fists trying to control her surging animosity.

"Huh! Thanks for that. You made me realize that I don't matter to you at all and you made me realize

that I had enough sacrifices for you." She chuckled bitterly like she felt stupid for doing it and the return

was not in her favor.

Then she turned around to face her dad. "Bill Sky is mine." She announced possessively. Her

expression was stern and she had no room for negotiation. After her words, she looked at her father for

one last time. Her eyes were full of pain despising him. When all she could see was hope for his

request, she smirked mockingly before she hopelessly went away.

"Arabella, my dear, where are you?" The exhausted Arabella tried to open her eyes slowly. The

darkness of her room greeted her eyes. She lazily grasped her phone on her side of the bed when

someone called. She answered without even looking at the caller's name. After she got back to her

apartment, she went directly to her room and tossed herself on her bed. With a very heavy heart,

painful bruises all over her body, and tiredness made her want to nap, forget everything, and

recharged. Somehow, she made it. She was just awakened by the call if not, she would definitely wake

up in the morning straight.

With her eyes closed, she answered the phone and was surprised by the caller. Rosy Byer was in the

other line.

"Rosy?" She asked after hearing the very familiar voice.

"Where are you?" Rosy asked directly.

"Hmmm... I'm just in my house." She answered lazily.

"House?" Rosy asked doubtfully. "Do you have a problem with money?" She added.

"What? Why are you asking that?" Her eyes opened quickly with Rosy's question. She had no clue why

Rosy was asking about money. Admittedly, she felt great relief because of her friend's call.

"I just thought that you don't have money to pay your electricity bill and you had been cut off of

electricity supply," Rosy mumbled like she was complaining about something.

"No way!" She quickly jumped out of her bed and ticked all her light switches. Then she went out and

opened her door.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Ivan's cheerful voice welcomed her.

Seeing the little boy, Arabella smiled sweetly. She quickly approached him with a hug. Then she also

hugged Rosy who had a wide smile on her face. Seeing and hugging her friends, she felt a little relief.

Her pained heart had been covered with a little warmth within.

"Oh! Why you guys haven't informed me of your coming? I should have prepared something for you

guys." She complained as she was troubled with her empty house. She had nothing to offer her

visitors.

"Nahhh!" Rosy quickly replied raising her right palm in the air. "Don't bother my friend because we are

going to have dinner outside. So get dressed now and dress beautifully because tonight is a special

night for us." Rosy added folding her arms up to her chest with a teasing smile on her face.

Arabella nodded with a sweet smile on her face. Good thing, she was quick to cover her bruises with a

concealer so Rosy would not ask so many questions and she didn't want her also to be worried for her.

With her good make-up skill, Rosy didn't notice even a single bruise on her forehead and her busted

lip.

"Okay... We are going to talk a lot!" She poured Ivan a glass of water then she dragged her exhausted

body to dress up as she could not afford to decline Rosy's dinner invitation. It would be rude for her to

do it since Rosy just visited the country after her mom's funeral. She also wanted to know about Rosy

coping with the death of her mom. As her friend, she was worried about Rosy and also guilty for not

being with her during that most difficult time in her life.

The driver drove them to an expensive high-class fine dining restaurant as per Rosy's demand. Ivan

was tugging Arabella's arm when they entered the restaurant. It was a huge restaurant and most of the

crowd were in their formal business attire and the girls were in formal cocktail dresses.

"Rosy, what's the occasion? This is a very expensive restaurant." Arabella complained. Tonight, she

was wearing a black silky dress embracing her curves. She just wanted to wear a simple shirt and

jeans but Rosy went to her room and rampage her closet then insisted she wears a sexy black dress

with a halter cut just like her. Rosy was wearing a maroon-fitted dress with a deep v-neck cut. They

were both wearing high heels flaunting their long flawless white legs. If it was not for Ivan, they could

call the night, a girl's night out. Rosy and Arabella were both pretty and sexy, men from different tables

were eyeing them.

Rosy had reserved a table in the restaurant so someone just assisted them to their seats.

The food they ordered was very delicious greatly suited to the restaurant's elegance and high-class

standard.

Now, she understands why their customers didn't mind spending their money on food just to satisfy

their appetite.

"Solved!" Rosy put her utensils after she finished.

"Can I eat some more cakes?" Ivan was still craving more desserts. His expression was cute as he

pleaded with Rosy.

"Sure, Mr. Genius!" Rosy answered pinching slightly Ivan's cheek.

Arabella smiled seeing Rosy and Ivan had gotten along well.

"Yes!" Ivan exclaimed.

"So how's my friend?" Arabella started fishing with Rosy's feelings.

Rosy's smile faded slowly but she seemed to try her best not to be sad again. She seemed to want to

move on from the deep abyss of tears and sorrows and Arabella had understood it clearly.

"Well... I'm trying to be happy!" Rosy responded with a smile but her eyes could never lie.

"It's good to hear that!" Arabella answered also trying to have a cheerful tone. "Just always remember,

you have another angel watching you up there, and never forget that we are here, caring, loving and

we have your back always, Rosy." Arabella had meant it sincerely. Rosy was intimidating at first look

because she was straightforward and had a strong image of a businesswoman but when she got to

know her more, their hearts just met peacefully and respectfully without even concealing each other.

Their friendship is natural and has never been forced even if they started unpleasantly.

"Oh my gosh! You are going to make me cry." Rosy was fanning her eyes with her fingers. "I know...

and because of you guys, I can and will carry on." Rosy blurted out sincerely with teary eyes.

"Okay... No crying! Let's just drink and chill tonight." Rosy raised her glass of champagne at her. Then

Arabella made a toast.

They spent the night talking and Ivan decided to go home ahead with the driver. The two were left

continuously drinking talking and laughing like they didn't see each other for years.

"How are you and Eric?" Suddenly, this question made Arabella jolted. With her messy life, she forgot

about Eric. When she decided to leave Eric and that he should not be involved with her problems,

Arabella stopped herself from contacting him. For her, it was way better than dragging Eric to her

problems. Eric had already done so much for her and she could not afford to put him in danger.

"Well... I..." Arabella didn't know what to say but since Rosy had asked, she wanted to answer her

honestly. " I wanted a divorce, Rosy." She finally uttered what she wanted to say. After she confessed

to Rosy, she felt a little lighter.

Hearing Arabella, Rosy's jaw dropped. Not because of excitement but because of shock. She had

known the fuss of their marriage before but not to the extent of having a divorce. "Are you sure? But..."

At this moment, Rosy was the one who was out of words. She knew Eric loves Arabella so much. It is Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

merely impossible that Eric would agree to divorce Arabella. "Arabella, you know Eric loves you so

much." Rosy reminded her. Her eyes were convincing Arabella to give Eric another chance. "Don't you

love him?" Out of Rosy's curiosity and also trying to solve their marriage problem, she asked. Rosy's

eyes were full of hope for the couple.

"Of course, I love Eric. He was like my real brother but that love is purely a family love. You know what I

mean..." Arabella explained sincerely.

Rosy's expression was troubled. She seemed not to like the thoughts of the couple separating forever.

Even though Rosy knew the real reason for their marriage, she could not set aside the real feeling of

her best friend, Eric. Rosy gave up her love and affection for Eric so he could be happy with Arabella.

Of all people, Rosy knew Eric's true love for Arabella.

She witnessed it all and she could not deny the fact that Eric's heart belongs only to Arabella.

"I understand you. Love can never be forced." With sympathy in her tone, Rosy answered. "... But are

you in love with someone else?" She added which made Arabella stunned.

Rosy was really frank and Arabella was still trying to get used to it.

"Hmmm..." She muttered softly. When she was about to answer Rosy, her eyes landed on the other

table in the corner. Her lips that were already opened slightly immediately closed again. Bill Sky was at

the other table with a beautiful girl. The girl was chatting with him with a wide smile on her face. The

cold handsome man was wearing a gray formal suit and holding his wine glass. The two looked sweet

and intimate as the girl's eyes were sexy like she was seducing the man in front of her. She was

wearing a golden crop top bralette paired with a very short golden fitted skirt. Her long blonde hair was

fixed cleanly in a ponytail style. She was graceful and elegant. Arabella could feel a little bitterness with

the scene of Bill Sky and the woman. She felt jealousy and anger but she couldn't admit it to herself.

"Are you, okay?" Rosy's voice snapped Arabella back to her senses then she looked in the direction

where Arabella's eyes seemed to see a ghost.

They were both quiet for a while.

"Arabella, I swear, I didn't know he's here!" Rosy quickly defended herself remembering her bad

decision before. She didn't want Arabella to misunderstand her.

"Rosy, stop explaining. I know." Arabella quickly held Rosy's hand. She knew Rosy was sincere in

apologizing to her when she set her up with Bill Sky in a restaurant before.

"Do you want to get out from here now?" With a worried tone, Rosy quickly asked.

Arabella averted her stare back to Rosy. She smiled at her calmly. "Don't worry. We don't need to get

out of here. Cheers?" Arabella said to appease Rosy's reaction as she raised her glass to make

another toast.

Seeing Bill Sky unexpectedly made her want to confront him. When his dad confessed about faking his

death and the whole setup on that cliff years ago, she felt guilty for blaming Bill Sky. There's something

in her that she felt relieved from something but still, she couldn't put her guards down. She still didn't

trust the cold domineering man.

After a while, Rosy's phone rang. She raised it wanting to excuse herself. Arabella nodded as she also

signaled her hand that she was going to the restroom.

They both separated for a while. Arabella tried to sober herself as she felt a bit tipsy already. She

wanted to fix herself before she asked Rosy to drive her home.

When she was about to go out, the door was pushed open. Her eyes quickly traveled to the person

who suddenly got inside the lady's room.

She was shocked.

Bill Sky strode inside and locked the door.

With his presence inside the room, she could feel her heartbeat thumping very fast like it could explode

if she could not control it.

"Wha...what are you doing here?" She asked very uneasily with his presence. He was actually putting

her in great embarrassment if someone would knock on the door.

Bill didn't answer. His sharp strict eyes looked at her from head to toe. He seemed to scrutinize her

whole being and she felt shy about it as her cheeks blushed.

Then he strode closer to her. She quickly took some steps back until her back hit the wall. Bill pressed

her body with his.

"How dare you flirt with me when you have another girl waiting for you outside?" Arabella felt very

annoyed by his domineering action. She pushed him but escaping from him was to no avail. His

exquisite scent immediately wafted her nose and it made her feel so good inside.

"Jealous?" Bill uttered with his sharp eyes pierced into hers.

"No!" She quickly answered with irritation. "You are hopeless! You asked me to be with you but you

can't stop seeing other women. Bill Sky, you are... you are..." Arabella was trying to think of the perfect

word to describe him but she could not find it. Bill's face moved closer to her that making her more

nervous.

His luscious lips were approaching her but suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Bill, are you there?" A melodious voice of a girl sounded. It was Bill's, another woman.
