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

Chapter 157 : Out Of League

After Bill dropped the bomb, the crowd was shocked and panicked as they were competing to get a

clearer view of Arabella. Likewise, Arabella was surprised by Bill’s sudden revelation.

How could this man just spill everything in front of the media?

She stayed frozen in her seat as Bill’s men were forming a barricade to protect her.

“Mr. Sky, Why the mother of your child is here? Does it mean she had a part of your wedding?” A

woman shouted over the loud clamor.

“Yes,” Bill answered directly. All cameras switched to him. Everyone was dying to know, what’s

Arabella’s role.

Trishia’s face was flushed. She was shaking in anger and she couldn’t get a hold of her cool anymore. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Though she was used to acting in front of a camera, the embarrassment she felt made her lose all her

fake acting bit by bit. She was not expecting that the conference would center the topic on Arabella and

Bill and she was left rooted on her spot. She’s a superstar and she was supposed to be the main

attraction of the event. All eyes, ears, and cameras were supposed to be hers.

“She’s our pianist at the wedding,” Bill announced.

“Mr. Sky, we all know that you can hire the most famous pianist in the world, why she? Did you choose

her?” Another man shouted over the loud clamor.

“Yes. I choose her.” Bill looked at Arabella. She was seating like no care around her. Her expression

was cold but confident. Her beauty was captivating but strict. Unlike Trishia, who always wore a sweet

smile, Arabella had no glow in her eyes. She seemed always wanted to chase the time and got bored

sitting on doing nothing. She seemed to hate the whole world by wearing a boring tough and

intimidating aura.

“Why her? Do you still have a close connection with her, Mr. Sky?” A man shouted over the loud crowd.

“Yes,” Bill said with a plain expression.

Everyone was very interested in the real score of him and the mother of his son.

Earlier,

“How much money do you want?” Kelly talked to Arabella privately. With full of sarcasm in her voice, it

was obvious that she didn’t want to talk to Arabella but she was desperate to make her disappear in

her free own will from her son’s life.

“Name your price.” She added while getting her checkbook and pen from her bag.

“I don’t need your money.” Arabella refuted quickly. She already knew what would be the flow of their

conversation. “You know what I want Mrs. Sky, Adam.” After analyzing the situation, she knew what

Kelly wanted and that was for her to leave Bill.

“Don’t you hear yourself? Adam is the only son of Bill. He is the only heir of Sky Corporation.” Kelly’s

voice was full of sarcasm and her expression was arrogance. She was very different from the Aunt

Kelly she once knew that was full of compassion towards her and others.

“I only need Adam, Aun… Mrs. Sky.” Arabella insisted while avoiding calling Kelly her aunt.

“You should see by now that Adam has a big future with us. He would own the biggest conglomerate in

the whole world. Then tell me if he would stay with you, what can you give for his future?” Kelly’s words

were intended for insults but she had a good point.

Arabella was stunned by Kelly’s question. It was a sudden attack on her capabilities of raising his son

and giving him a good future.

“I can give him love and teach him compassion,” Arabella answered coming from a mother’s pure

heart.

“That is a good joke,” Kelly laughed softly like she heard a lame joke. “Adam is born a leader like her

father. If you are a good mother, you should put first Adam’s welfare.” Kelly firmly said.

Arabella was stunned and was caught in deep thinking. Kelly said was all right. Adam was indeed had

all the right to inherit all Bill’s hard work. He had a very big future with the Sky.

“Go away, take this blank check, and never come back. Don’t worry, Trishia would be a good mother to

your son. I will see to it as his grandma.” Kelly used the opportunity to convince more seeing Arabella

was still in her deep thinking.

But hearing Trishia’s name, Arabella looked at Kelly fiercely.

“No. I don’t need that check. I am not selling my son to you. Give Adam back to me and I will leave

your son. That’s the only condition I have.” Arabella said toughly.

“Look, you don’t make the deal here.” Kelly’s voice was pissed.

“Sorry Mrs. Sky, give back Adam or I will not leave your son. I will make him fall in love with me.”

Arabella announced toughly.

Her words made Kelly enraged. “You are such a disrespectful child!” She roared.

Arabella wasn’t affected by her anger. “The aunt Kelly I treasured as my own mother was also gone.

Please excuse me, Mrs. Sky.” Replying to these words made her heart in pain. She knew her aunt

Kelly had still a special place in her heart but as of the moment, she needed to be smart and tough to

get Adam back.

After she excused herself, she went outside to wait for them for the conference and left Kelly froze in

her spot.

In a corner, Trishia heard everything.

She couldn’t withstand her anger hearing Arabella’s words. Inside Bill’s house, she witnessed

everything. What she said was all possible. For so many years she had known Bill, Arabella was the

one who had close contact with him. He let her be close to him. He let her sleep in his room and his

bed not only a night but every night. Thinking of how many nights she cried in her room because of

them sharing a bed together in Bill’s room, Trishia gritted her teeth as she walked out to find Arabella.

“I can give back Adam to you,” Trishia announced.

Arabella turned behind her. She didn’t say anything but her expression was waiting for her to say

something more.

“Just promise me and your son will vanish in our life,” Trishia added with irritation.

“How would you do that?” Arabella’s expression was full of interest.

“I can do that because I don’t want you and your son in our life. You and your son are distractions in

our life. Without you and your son, I can have all of Bill.” Trishia announced coldly.

Arabella keenly listened to her.

“At the wedding, my men can help you escape with Adam,” Trishia said in a displeasing tone.

“Deal.” Arabella’s eyes glowed. She saw some hope in Trishia’s proposal. “Don’t worry Trishia, Bill is

out of my league. He’s all yours. Give me back Adam and I will leave without any trace.” Arabella said

with a reassuring tone. She wasn’t sure about trusting Trishia at the moment but she had no choice.

Her proposal was perfect timing. She could only hold unto it as she had no power to fight against the

Sky. She also knew what Trishia was up to. Of all people, she had no intention to raise Adam as her

own. Who wanted to raise a child of your husband from another mother? She never believed Trishia

when she told everyone that she had no issue with Adam and she would raise him as her own.

“Mr. Sky, this is a very personal question.” A woman in her 50’s asked amidst the loud clamor. Bill

looked at her and raised his hand to give her the floor. “You were seen in the public with the mother of

your son doing some intimacy. We are confused about the real score of you and the mother of your son

and Ms. Meyer. Can you please tell us who was really in your heart right now?” It was a bold question

that made the clamor stop in an instant. It seemed everyone was very eager to know it. All ears were

all at Bill.

Bill's look didn’t change. For a while, he didn’t answer. Arabella folded her arms in front. She was also

eager to know his answer. Trishia had shivered more. She knew Bill would never lie and she was fully

aware that if not for Adam, Bill would not agree to the wedding.

Trishia quickly held Bill’s hand with her two hands. She had to do something before it was too late. She

could not afford another embarrassment in the media. Her reputation and name would be instantly

ruined. Who would accept a loser like her for any projects if Bill Sky would deny her?

Bill’s eyes looked at the girl with very cold hands. His eyes were serious and Trishia’s were pleading at

him.

“I will marry Trishia Meyer.” Bill didn’t answer the question directly but his words were merely an

emphasis that he will marry the one who’s in his heart. The crowd began to get louder again.

Trishia wanted to jump for joy as she felt like winning the lottery. She was so relieved by his answer

while Arabella had no expression. She was expecting him to say it but she could still feel a pinch in her

heart.

‘Love? Love my foot!’ Arabella was cursing him in her mind and heart.

After the conference, Trishia glued herself to Bill’s arm while they were walking inside the hotel.

“Bill, I had reserved a restaurant here. Let’s eat first before going home.” Trishia sweetly uttered to him.

“I have to go back to the office.” Bill stopped and took Trishia’s hands off. “Call your driver to take you

home.” He added.

“But Bill..” Trishia didn’t want to give up but seeing Bill’s not open for negotiations expression, she kept

quiet.

“You, come with me.” Bill turned around to order Arabella.

Arabella who was behind them and just hearing their conversation looked up to him and smile. “Right

away sir.” She answered seductively. This was for Trishia to be in her best effort to help her with Adam.

She was showing Trishia what she was capable of doing. She knew Trishia would be very enraged and

would do anything to help her get back Adam quickly. Maybe by tomorrow, Adam would suddenly

appear because of Trishia.

Smiling past Trishia, Arabella secretly winked at the girl whose pretty face crumpled in fury.

Inside the car, the silence was filled in the air. Bill with folded arms and crossed legs leaned on the

backrest. He closed his eyes. He seemed to be tired. Seeing him, Arabella did what he was doing. She

also leaned back and closed her eyes.

She then planned her next move with Trishia’s offer. The wedding was very near and she was very

excited to see her son. She could not wait to hug and kiss him again. The memory that they tickled

each other on the bed every morning suddenly flashed across her mind. She smiled but tears started

dripping in the corners of her eyes.

When the driver stopped, that’s the only time Arabella opened her eyes. She was surprised to see that

they stopped in another hotel and not his office.

Bill didn’t say anything as he walked out. She followed without asking any questions. Bill strode inside

and directly went to a restaurant. Arabella walked behind him.

Then Bill sat on a couch. “Sit.” He ordered.

Arabella sat in front of him. The waiter handed him the menu and he ordered.

‘This man refused his fiancée to eat with her.’

‘Despicable!’

‘Womanizer!’

Feeling disgusted, she didn’t argue and chose to keep quiet.

Bill didn't say anything like he had no company. She seemed didn’t exist in the restaurant as he worked

on his mini tab with his digital pen.

After they ate without talking, Bill strode out of the restaurant and behind was Arabella.

When they reached the lobby area,

“I know it was you!” A man suddenly sounded. Arabella stopped and turned in the direction of the voice.

“Arabella!” The man called out her name.

After seeing a very familiar face, Arabella smiled. “Jayson?”
