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

Chapter 365: One Of Her Victims

“Can somebody use their brains for a new proposal? Why do I’m giving you such a salary if no one can

preach me new ideas?!” Eric roared angrily.

“Okay, everyone. Let’s adjourn this meeting. Let’s meet again next Thursday.” Inside a conference

room, Rosy took over quickly. “See you,” Rosy added giving all the participants to exit the room.

When everyone had already gone, Rosy looked at Eric who was still pissed.

His expression was displeased of so much and he seemed to lose all his temper during these days.

Knowing Eric her entire life, he was not like that.

Eric always practiced the balance of work and personal life thoroughly.

He knew how to manage everything calmly and everything was always under his control.

It was so unlikely for him to change from his usual self.

Rosy never saw Eric lose his temper in front of their colleagues.

“Eric, tell me. I know something is bothering you right now. Talk to me now and get a grip on yourself.

Will you?” They were best friends since the first day they met so Rosy knew everything about Eric.

Eric looked at Rosy with a stern look.

Rosy could see that his expression was angry and problematic.

Eric’s eyes were deep like he didn’t have enough sleep with black circles around his eyes.

Rosy waited for him to share as she smirked but Eric was still muted.

He seemed to have no plan sharing what was his troubles lately.

She could see Eric was so troubled by something but he was aloof with her and that she didn't

understand.

“Eric… what’s wrong?” Rosy asked again with a questioning look but already looking impatient.

She was just not used to Eric being so secretive.

“Nothing… nothing Rosy.” Eric sounded strict.

He averted his gaze from her to his desktop.

“Come on, Eric! You can’t just go on like this every day. People around you are also affected by your Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

mood. Cheer up, man! We can drink outside if you don’t want to talk about it here. I can’t… and I don’t

want you seeing like this every day.” Rosy was always that pushy and Eric knew that.

“Rosy, don’t bother yourself with my troubles. I’m just too preoccupied lately. Okay?” Eric replied.

How could he possibly share his troubles with Rosy when the cause of his troubles was none other

than the person who ruined her family?

In just an instant, Rosy’s perfect loving family shattered into pieces because of the girl named Hanna.

Her mother committed suicide when she knew about her husband’s affair with Hanna and now her

father was still wasted getting all the blame for what he had done.

Eric even assigned a private physician for his uncle Byer just to look for him all the time as it seemed

his conscience was eating him up and he was always lost and mute all the time.

At first, they thought his uncle Byer was just mourning his loss but as time goes by, he started to

imprison himself in his room, he refused to eat and he said nothing to everyone even if they tried to talk

to him.

Eric tried to talk to him but he refused.

He listened but he didn’t say a single word.

His uncle Byer shut his world outside and they could not force him to go out and take some fresh air.

They were hopeless as he didn’t want to help himself plus Rosy was not in a good term for him.

Rosy put all the blames on her father and his mistress.

It was too impossible for her to forget the reason for the death of her mother and too impossible for her

to forgive her father and his mistress.

“I don’t believe you, Eric. I know you and I know you are hiding something from me.” Rosy sounded

provokingly.

She had no sign of stopping. “And you know me, Eric, the more you hide it from me, the more I will dig.

Yeah?” She smiled at Eric giving him a chance to talk with a hint of a challenge.

“Come on, Rosy! I’m okay… I’m just in a bad mood today.” Eric sounded cool now to appease Rosy but

she frowned more. “Okay… I’m just in a bad mood today, yesterday, and the other day.” He corrected

himself.

Rosy nodded with a smile. “You know I treated you as my brother. You are my only family now. So,

whoever messed up with you, messed me up too!” Rosy felt relieved seeing Eric back to his usual cool

self.

She was always very thankful to him for always being there for her.

Even before, Eric was always helping her family and her mom and dad loved and treated him as part of

their family.

The same goes for Eric, he treated Rosy’s parents as his own.

Without them, he won’t be able to achieve as the CEO of his own company.

Eric was always grateful to Rosy’s family.

“Care for lunch later?” Rosy stood up as she was about to exit the conference room.

For now, she would leave him in peace for a while but surely, she would dig the things that troubled

him.

She was good at it.

“Hmmm… okay. See yeah!” Eric quickly replied.

When Rosy went out that was the time Eric heaved a very heavy sigh.

His cool was quickly gone.

His eyes were deep and sharp.

One could easily say that he was very angry with something.

Then in the next second, his phone on his table rang.

It kept on ringing every day and the name of the caller appeared on his mobile’s screen.

Hanna

Eric just looked at his phone on his table.

He let it ring and vibrate on the surface.

He just stared at it with his deep sharp eyes.

Until now, Eric was still full of hatred for Hanna as she dared to deceive him.

Also, he still couldn’t forgive himself for being deceived by her.

He was deceived by the mistress of his uncle Byer.

A dancer in a club.

A hustler and a stripper.

Eric showed every good to her and he could not believe that he became one of her victims.

It angered him so much just the thought about Hanna.

He knew Hanna was calling him non-stopped because she wanted to explain.

Maybe she wanted to pacify him and clear her name but Eric had enough of her lies.

How could he believe her again?

How could he make sure that all words coming from her mouth were all true?

How could he make sure that Hanna was true to him?

How could he make sure that Hanna was not doing all the explaining with the other men she was with?

At this point, Eric felt by answering her call or talking to her, he was going to fall into her trap again.

This girl could not be trusted.

Starting by using different kinds of names and identities.

She was an expert hooker and she used her beauty to get money from rich men.

With his thoughts, Eric felt disgusted with her.

Just imagining how old his uncle Byer was and Hanna was sleeping with him for money.

Eric felt more enraged as he strongly clenched his fists then he wiped everything on his table with his

arm including his phone.

It fell to the ground and the ringing stopped.

He stood up and went out of the room with the loud bang of the door.

Eric went directly to get his car.

When he got in, he drove furiously.

He was very angry and he didn’t know where to go.

He felt lost but he wanted to be alone.

Eric was in love with Hanna and he felt so f*cked up for not forgetting her after she revealed her true

identity to him.

Heaven knew how he wanted to forget her so badly but he failed.

All the corners of his house and in his office, he could see the beautiful Hanna.

Even now, he could see Hanna on the road and his mind was occupied with her shining eyes, her

sweet smile, and all the details of her beautiful face and sexy body.

Eric could not get enough of her but thinking about how her beauty works for all other men, he became

angrier with her.

Eric felt like he was going to explode and he could not continue having this kind of mood.

He had to release his anger and all he wanted was to punish Hanna.

He wanted her to suffer.

With her sufferings, he could avenge her aunt’s death.

His conscience would no longer bug him.

He should do what is right to avenge Rosy’s family.

Hanna should feel all the pain with all the wives being played by her.

For Eric, Hanna is a dirty woman.

She didn’t deserve to be treated like a queen.

She should be treated badly.

Eric stopped abruptly having his thoughts molded into a plan.

His eyes were deep and dangerous.

Then he smirked.

Meanwhile, Hanna was getting ready for her other work.

Tonight, she was going to perform in a new club.

She was back to this kind of work again after stopping for a while.

She tried to apply for some decent jobs but she was always declined.

Once, she was accepted as a waitress in a bar but she resigned immediately after someone harassed

her physically.

For Hanna, all men were the same.

They were all hungry for women and they would never get satisfied with one woman.

They would always want to have as many women as they could because it would give them more

confidence but except for one man.

Eric Grant.

She thought he was different.

There was no doubt about it but he despised her a lot.

She tried to contact him and explained everything to him but his ears were closed.

He was angry at her.

Very angry and she knew it.

Somehow, Hanna managed to continue her life trying hard to forget about Eric Grant.

She put her mind and body to work.

She accepted all works that could pay her well so she could at least forget him for a while.

Tonight, she had done 3 performances already in different bars and she was going to her last

performance in Z Club.

This club was one of the largest among all clubs in the city.

The manager personally called her and requested her to perform at a bachelor’s party.

He mentioned that all guests were VIPs and she was the perfect performer he was looking for.

The fee could compensate her for more than a month of working different jobs.

Who would say no to it?

Of course, since she wanted to work and work to forget Eric, Hanna grabbed the opportunity.

She went there wearing her half mask as she was known for it.

She continued performing with her mask on and tonight, she was going to dance in front of men

wearing her white mask, knee-high white boots, and white mini fur fitted dress while her long smooth

hair was dancing under her shoulders.

Her collarbones and long legs shimmered and were flawless.

Hanna was wearing red lipstick to complete her sexy look.

This is her work and every time she performed, she gave her best shot.

She loved dancing when she was still a kid and she used the stage to enhance her skills every time

she danced.

Hanna talked to the manager first when she arrived.

It was quite late but she didn’t have any choice but to perform and finish her job.

After this, she was still thinking to eat and drink in the side streets booth.

She didn’t want to go home and just think of Eric.

She avoided thinking of him so many times but she failed.

She planned to drink so she could easily go to sleep.

So, with her thoughts, she wanted to finish her performance right away.

She just had to perform one sexy dance then after she could get his talent fee and go.

Her rules were clear to the manager that no one could touch her inside the VIP room.

If this happened, she would quit and the club should still pay her the total amount agreed for her

performance.

The manager agreed and everything was settled.

The manager brought her inside the room then he left after she nodded at him.

When she came in, men’s voices were cheering.

They were so alive seeing her coming.

Hanna was used to this kind of noise from men.

She was used to men’s excitement whenever she performed.

All she wanted was to finish her performance and get out inside the room so she quickly turned on her

Bluetooth and connect her phone to the audio.

She played the music and she started to swing her hips sexily.

She combed her long soft hair with her fingers then it danced in the air for a little while and landed in its

right spot making her sexier.

The shouting of men became louder like their excitement had gotten extent.

When Hanna got a greater view of her audience, she suddenly halted.

Her eyes landed on a man who was sitting in the middle of 6 men.

He was looking at her seriously with the sharpest eyes.

Hanna couldn’t move.

The tiny hair on her neck raised as her cold sweats appeared on her forehead.

She was trembling inside.

His eyes were dangerous like he was already killing her through his stare.

“What happened? What’s wrong? Dance!” Hanna was snapped back to her senses when someone

shouted at her.

She wanted to flee immediately but her feet wouldn’t cooperate.

Her body was trembling tremendously by how dangerously Eric Grant stared at her.
