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

Chapter 289 : Unicorn Among Horses

One morning, Arabella received another call from Sen. Meyer.

Her heartbeat started to elevate.

She could sense this call would ruin her day.

She just stared at her cellphone not willing to answer the Senator as she was not prepared for him.

She would never be prepared for him but thinking of his father’s situation, she gritted her teeth then she

tapped the accept call button.

“Finally, you answered.” The Senator sounded satisfied.

She didn’t speak.

Who would even want to talk to a hideous man like him?

Who would even talk to a person who would put her in danger?

“Arabella…” He called her name. “I know you are there listening.” He chuckled devilishly. “That’s right,

just listen to me because I really need you to listen to me carefully.” His voice was deep and scary but

she was not scared of him.

If it were not only for her father, she would not follow him.

She would fight for her life if it means her being free with him but the situation was different.

The senator had a hostage.

He had her father.

The father who had abandoned her because of his mistress.

The father who had committed adultery and offended the Senator for snatching his wife and now she

had to be the one to sacrifice for her father’s wrongdoings.

‘It isn’t fair!’

‘Life is never been fair!’

Arabella could not overcome the reason why she was helping her dad and why her life was put into

turmoil again.

She should be focusing on finding Adam and be gone forever from the city that caused all her

nightmares.

She could not wait to get rid of the people who made her life a disaster.

She could not wait not to see the Senator, Trishia, Kelly, and Bill Sky.

But for now, she had to settle first with her father.

She had to save him first from the Senator’s hand and she hoped not to see him again too.

She wished him safe and healthy but she hoped that he would be gone from her sight forever with or

without his mistress.

“Arabella… I decided to extend our agreement.” The senator directly said the reason for his call.

“What??? What do you mean by that?” She was shouting on the other line.

“Shhhh… I know you would react like that but listen to me first.” The senator’s voice was calm but with

a controlled temper. “Hmmm… It’s not too much to ask, Arabella. Let’s just say we extend it to 2 more

missions for me before I will release your father safe and sound. How’s that sweetheart?” The Senator

was very wicked.

He sounded like an evil trying to convince someone to do bad.

“Huh! Do you think I will agree to that? You said to me that I will have my final mission and you will

release my father! How dare you swallow your words?! You are a shameless old man!” She roared with

her eyes bursting in anger.

“Nah… Nah… Nah…” The Senator sounded calm. “You don’t shout at me or I will kill your father!” Then

the temper he was controlling busted out. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Hearing him, Arabella instantly got muted.

She could feel her heart was clenched so hard and her body was trembling due to the excessive

vexation she had.

“Okay… now I guess we can talk properly.” The senator’s voice was calm again.

Arabella didn’t speak trying to pull herself together.

She was very mad with this senator that even his voice made her very annoyed.

“Arabella… Even fairies grant 3 wishes right?” He continued. “One additional then we are even. Just

remember how your father had wronged me. He got my wife. He is the sinner here and I am not. He

put you into this position, dear.” The Senator started to brainwash her.

“Senator, since you can’t be trusted, I will accept that but can you promise me one thing?” She was

disheartened by her situation.

The man is hopeless!

He was not reliable.

How could she trust him?

She sensed the senator would never be true to her words.

He would never release her father after the third mission.

“Sure! What is that, dear?” The Senator seemed to be in a good mood after hearing that she was going

to agree with him.

It just needed a little push and then she would act accordingly.

Arabella clenched her fists.

“Can you… can you kill yourself after I accomplished my third mission?” She asked insulting him.

She could not help it.

This man is very vicious.

He would never stick to his words.

After her words, she ended the call without waiting for his reply then she threw her mobile phone to her

sofa, cupped her face with her two hands, and heaved a deep sigh.

She felt her heart was going to explode.

With the senator, her problem seemed no solution.

He was using her to get money from Bill Sky and he would continuously use her to his advantage.

‘What a hideous man!’ She cursed in the air.

She had to get out from the hands of the senator but what is she going to do?

Who could help her?

‘Alice Meyer.’

She could only think of one person.

She remembered her before.

She said she was helping her.

At that time, she could not understand her but she was a nice decent woman.

No wonder Sen. Meyer kept her by his side.

But how could she face the woman who ruined her family?

She was the reason why her father left them.

She was the reason why her father was in this situation.

She was the reason why she was in this disaster.

It’s all because of her.

Arabella shook her head then cupped her face again.

Even though she didn’t want to see her but she was the only one who could help her.

It’s just fair that she had to take part in solving the problem if she really loved her father.

If Alice Meyer really loved her father, then she should be the one to take the responsibility not her.

After arriving at her final decision, she quickly stood up.

She had to find Alice Meyer and the only person who could tell her location was no other than, Trishia

Meyer.

“Jayson, can I have a favor?” Arabella could only think of Jayson to help her with something.

“Arabella, I’m glad you called. What can I help you with? Come on! You know that I am very happy

hearing you again.” Jayson was very surprised that she called.

His tone was very delighted.

“Please find the number of Trishia Meyer. I just needed it very badly.” Her tone was pleading.

Jayson Hansen was stunned.

Hearing Arabella, his mind became messy.

“Oh! May I know the reason why?” Calming himself, he asked.

He stopped signing the documents on his table, grabbed a glass of water, and drank it in one go.

“I need to see her. Sorry, but I can’t tell the exact reason, Jayson. It’s just too personal.” Arabella

answered without any hint of Jayson’s relationship with Trishia.

“It’s alright. I completely understand. Just a minute.” Jayson said then she heard his landline speaker.

Jayson was talking to his secretary on his landline. “Find out the number of Trishia Meyer.” He said

then turned off the speaker.

“There you go. Do you want me to come with you when you see Trishia?” Jayson’s tone was a bit

worried.

“No need, Jayson. I will be okay.” She had to meet Trishia alone.

Jayson should not be dragged with her problem with the senator.

“Okay.” He could only answer but deep inside he was dying to know what was Arabella’s issue with

Trishia.

She should not know that he and Trishia were intimate acquaintances.

His name should not be linked to Trishia Meyer or else Arabella would hate him for life.

He knew very well how Arabella hated Trishia Meyer.

He could not afford Arabella to hate him too but he could not also refuse Trishia’s temptation.

Trishia made him a champion over other men.

As Bill’s woman, he felt good using her.

He could feel he was even with Bill Sky.

After Arabella got the mobile number of Trishia, she quickly called her.

“And who are you?” Trishia was not in a good mood.

“Arabella Jones.” She answered.

Arabella never thought she would call and talk to Trishia.

If only she had a choice, she would never talk to her.

Trishia was just vicious as her dad.

She was another person who she could not trust but she had no other option.

Because of what happened, Sen. Meyer maybe put Alice grounded.

Even if Jayson could find her number, it was safe to think that Sen. Meyer would answer her call for

Alice.

Surely, he had Alice's phone.

With Trishia, Arabella believed that she could not put her mother in danger.

She heaved a deep sigh thinking about it.

Hopefully, she’s not wrong.

Hopefully, she’s right, or else things would get messier.

“Well, oh well! Why do you call b*tch?” Trishia was obviously humiliating her.

When she was a famous actress, she was known as a very nice girl in front of the camera and the

crowd.

Only a few knew her real color but now that she was out of the limelight, she lived up to her rudeness

and nastiness.

“Let’s meet up!” Arabella said without wasting her time.

“Who are you to order me?” Trishia roared annoyingly.

She seemed to deliberately tease Arabella.

“I will text you the address. Well, it’s fine if you don’t come after all I just wanted to talk about Bill Sky.”

Arabella smirked. She knew Trishia would eat the bait for sure.

“I will come.” As expected, Trishia answered.

Arabella shook her head as she smirked at Trishia’s answer.

Undoubtedly, she could use Bill Sky to make her cooperate with him but she was well aware too that

Trishia was also thinking about how to trick her.

That’s her nature.

Making her life miserable seemed to Trishia’s great satisfaction.

She should not put her guards down.

She should be very careful of her.

Trishia is Sen. Meyer’s daughter.

A mango would not bear an apple and that’s for sure.

Jill’s Café at 3: pm.

Arabella arrived early.

She wanted to have her solo time before she would meet the mistress of the devil, Trishia Meyer.

She never thought they would be meeting and talking again.

Arabella hated her so much.

If she had a choice to avoid her, she would do it because just her face was a nuisance to her.

“I’m here b*tch!” Suddenly, Trishia appeared in front of her.

The name Bill Sky was really a powerful one that this girl seemed to fly going there to see her.

She just smirked.

Trishia took off her sunglasses and sat on the chair in front of her.

She raised her hand to get a waiter.

The waiter came hurriedly with the menu.

Trishia got the menu, “I want this, this, this, this, this, this, this.” She pointed to a lot of sets of food and

smile cutely at the waiter. “She will pay the bill.” Then pointed at Arabella.

The waiter looked at Arabella with a questioning expression.

Arabella just nodded.

As expected Trishia would do a grand entrance.

“So, b*tch, what about Bill Sky?” Then she asked looking at her wickedly.

She was smiling at her but Arabella could only see her as a stubborn brat and she never grew up.

For a very long time, she was still the Trishia who she once knew.

The Trishia who was trying to intimidate people around her so she would become the unicorn among

horses.

“Drop that b*tch Trishia because you sounded that you are calling yourself. Aren’t you?” She didn’t

want a fight but her ears could not get a hold of her rudeness.

“You!” Trishia instantly got pissed off.

She grabbed the glass of water beside her and was about to splash Arabella with water but Arabella

was quick to stop her hand.

“If you do that then say goodbye to Bill Sky,” Arabella said looking into her eyes.

Hearing the name of Bill Sky, Trishia quickly sobered.

She smiled at Arabella again trying to prove to her that she was back to her senses.

“Okay, tell me now,” Trishia ordered with a very fake smile.

“I’m going to tell you something about him in exchange for another piece of information.” Arabella

started to deal with her.

“And what is that?” Puzzled, Trishia asked.

“Your mom. Where is your mom now?” Arabella had no time to waste.

She was hoping that Trishia would make everything easy for her just once.

“And what made you interested in my mom?” She frowned asking like she was suspecting Arabella of

something.

“Nothing. I just need to ask her something.” Arabella could not tell Trishia the truth or she would surely

turn around the table just like that.

Trishia looked at her seriously.

Their eyes met.

“My mother?” She uttered with a smirk on her face. “She’s dead.” Then she added.
