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

Chapter 452: Her Position

Arabella Jones and Adam Sky were like royalties striding gracefully on a red carpet.

A beautiful royal princess and a young handsome prince holding each other hands easily caught

everyone’s attention and that’s including the king.

“Daddy!” Adam sounded charmingly seeing Bill walking so gorgeous towards them.

Arabella tried her best not to stare at Bill’s handsome face for she knew she would have a very hard

time taking her eyes away from him.

It always happened.

Bill had something that made her hypnotized and it was embarrassing.

It was embarrassing because she could not control herself from staring at him.

She always lost all control whenever Bill was around.

Before, maybe it was okay because they were both untangled but now, Arabella found it already

awkward.

Bill Sky is already married and she had no plan to stare at someone’s husband.

“Mommy, look! Daddy is very handsome.” Adam sounded teasing while wiggling their hands.

Arabella just smirked cutely.

When did her son develop this kind of skill?

He is now good at teasing and he just found her as his first victim.

“I think you are more handsome my darling,” She mumbled smiling sweetly at Adam.

“How can you say that mom? You never look at daddy. Oh, by the way, he is coming.” Adam continued

teasing his mom seeing her blush and even got blusher upon hearing him.

Adam couldn’t help giggling on her side.

“Should we just stop right here? Or should we just go and get some food? Seriously, baby, I’m starving

already.” Arabella mumbled seeing the tall powerful figure coming their way.

Bill was getting closer to them and she was already panicking.

And now she questioned herself why she had to be there.

“Mommy, relax. It's just dad.” Adam giggled more seeing his mom a bit uneasy.

It was obvious to him the reason why her mom was acting like she was not in herself.

It was because of his dad.

Adam squeezed his mom’s hand a little to appease him.

“No, it’s not that.” Arabella didn’t want to affirm Adam’s observation.

“Well, he is here,” Adam announced. “Daddy, we are here.” In just the next second, Adam was already

talking to Bill Sky.

Arabella stood frozen and her eyes were everywhere.

She didn’t like to meet Bill’s eyes.

She didn’t want to bombard him with her annoyance for using Adam against her and most importantly,

she didn’t want to admire his most gorgeous and elegant look tonight.

She didn’t want to fall in love with him again and again tonight.

“Mom, dad is here,” Adam squeezed her hand again and pulled her a little.

Adam wanted her to pay respect to his father of course it was just the right thing to do as the main host

of the party.

Even though she didn’t like the idea but for Adam, Arabella tried her best to act normal and of course, a

good mom to her son.

She bowed gently to Bill, “Nice party,” She felt she had to say something but she never looked him in

the eyes.

“Thanks,” Bill replied briefly as his eyes were fixated on Arabella's beautiful face. “You are beautiful.”

Bill continued. “The most beautiful.” He added with his eyes filled with admiration at her explicit beauty.

Even though she didn’t want to absorb his words into her heart but she could not help to feel flattered.

Bill’s voice was Magnifique and it had shaken her heart in a good way.

“Oh sweetheart, you are here,” Suddenly, Trishia’s melodious voice was heard behind.

The in just a quick moment, she appeared in front of them and quickly hugged Bill’s arm.

Trishia appeared to be a very gracious and sweet wife in everyone's eyes.

“Oh, Adam, you are here now with your…” Trishia was smiling but her eyes were scrutinizing Arabella

from head to toe again and again like she was discriminating her through her eyes before she

continued, "...mother," Now, she just didn't appear to be a sweet wife but also a sweet stepmother.

“I hope you don’t mind, Aunt Trishia. I just want to be with her celebrating my family’s milestone.” Adam

was quite good at speaking.

He was so a natural speaker ever since.

Upon hearing Adam, Trishia’s fake smile showed up as she tightened her grip on Bill’s arm.

She knew all eyes were on them.

The spotlights were on them as the family reunited.

“Of course, Adam, baby. Your mother is welcome to join us. Right sweetheart?” Trishia was acting like This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

so lovable stepmother in front of everyone but inside she was cursing the boy and Arabella.

These two should vanish from her life or they would ruin her life.

They were a threat to her happy wealthy life.

“Thank you, Aunt Trishia.” Adam seriously spoke filled with gratitude in his expression.

Arabella looked at Trishia who was wearing her fake smile.

She could not forget how Trishia set her up seven years ago at this same party.

Trishia could manipulate Adam’s mind but Arabella could never fall into the same trap again.

Trishia’s kindness is fake and even Bill Sky was deceived by it.

It was just for everyone’s eyes and gathering appreciation.

A desperate attention seeker.

Arabella smirked at Trishia, “Thank you,” She uttered to Trishia also showing her gratitude to Bill’s new

wife.

With an empty expression, Arabella met Trishia’s pretentious eyes.

They stared at each other for quite some time secretly mocking each other through their eyes.

“Bill… son, Mr. Garett is looking for you.” Kelly strode in front of them as she called Bill in a hurry.

“Oh, look who is here? Bill why is this woman here?” Kelly broke the tense atmosphere upon seeing

Arabella.

Arabella didn’t want to disrespect Kelly so she gracefully bowed down to pay her respect to her Aunt

Kelly.

“Mom, Adam invited her.” Bill quickly answered trying to stay her mom calm.

Trishia smiled wickedly because of Kelly’s presence.

She didn’t need to shoo Arabella away because Kelly would do that for her.

Earlier,

“Mom, I need to talk to you,” Earlier before Trishia went to Bill, she went first to Kelly who was busy

talking to some businessmen.

"What is it, darling Trishia?” Kelly asked almost whispering.

“Mom, this is so awkward, Arabella Jones, is here with Adam.” Trishia looked so pitiful.

Kelly hurriedly excused herself from the group. “What? That woman? How dare her!” How Kelly

sounded hysterically, gave Trishia overwhelming satisfaction.

“Mom, what should I do? People will see her as Bill’s ex-wife and I am…” Trishia sounded like she was

in full trouble.

“Shhh… Trishia, remember that you are the new wife and she is just the ex-wife. Leave it to me, dear. I

will make sure that my son would get rid of her at this party.” Kelly promised and went back to the

group to completely excuse herself.

Trishia was left smiling wickedly.

Before this party ends, Arabella Jones would regret attending the party.

Trishia then hurriedly went to Bill.

“Bill, did you forget what this girl did seven years ago at this party, huh? And did you even forget that

she is the reason why your father…” Kelly strode closer as she scolded her son.

Her eyeballs were bulging looking mockingly at Arabella whose head was staying low.

“Grandmother…” Adam was trying to say something but was hurriedly shut by Kelly.

“Adam, you didn’t know anything. Can you just bring that woman outside now?” Kelly was sounding

harsh and angry.

Arabella held Adam's shoulder. Adam looked at his mother who was also looking at him with her head

low. She nodded at him like she was sending a message to him not to fight with his grandmother or not

to talk back to her.

Adam quickly got the message from his mother so he lowered his gaze.

“Mom, that’s enough!” Bill sounded with a controlled temper.

Kelly instantly halted.

She didn't dare to reach Bill's limit and now she saw that her son was already going to his peak and

this is because of Arabella Jones.

“As you said that was seven years ago.” Bill continued sternly.

“Seven years ago, but where’s your father now, huh? Seven years ago, Bill, your father should still be

here with us now if it’s not for that woman!” Kelly was controlling her voice but now it got a little louder

which made the scene in front palpable.

One could easily say that there was a commotion happening between them.

“Then let's see tonight mother, who is really responsible seven years ago," Bill announced mysteriously

which made everyone halt.

Finally, Arabella looked at Bill Sky.

His words carried a powerful meaning but they confused her at the same time.

Bill looked at her and their eyes met for a while.

He seemed to be honored that finally, he saw her beautiful eyes looking at him.

“Enjoy the party,” With the presence of Trishia and Kelly, Bill didn’t mind as he sounded at Arabella

before he turned around.

Trishia was clenching her fists so hard as Bill was not even hiding his affair from her.

He was flirting with Arabella in front of her.

Bill never considered her feeling even though he had amnesia.

Trishia never failed to give him the drugs that could worsen his memory loss but still, Bill was into

Arabella.

It seemed that amnesia or not, Bill was going to go after Arabella.

The question was why? If Trishia had to answer that, blame it on Arabella.

She obviously seduced Bill Sky because it was impossible that Bill would still like her even if he had a

partial loss of memories.

And if it was destiny, Trishia swore to ruin that destiny to retain her position in Bill's life.

“Mom, I think we need to formally start the party,” Bill sounded to Kelly as he offered his other hand to

her.

Kelly had no choice but to listen to her son but before she took his arm, she looked at Arabella with

disgust then she turned around with Bill and Trishia on his other arm.

Together, they strode to the platform in front of the crowd.

Adam wiggled Arabella's hand. “It’s okay, mom. Take a deep breath and exhale deeply… again and

again.” Adam sampled what he preached as they followed behind.

Even though Arabella felt so uneasy right now, with Adam she could not help but smile.

Her chubby handsome boy wanted to appease her. “Where did you learn that?” She asked with her

sweet smile.

“You! I learned it from you!” Adam answered her with a charming wink.

“Hahaha. naughty boy!” Arabella laughed loudly and Adam too.

They laughed as if nothing happened earlier.

“Do you hear that, Bill? Why this savage, uneducated woman is here? She is such a bad influence on

Adam!” Kelly quickly complained to Bill.

Arabella and Adam’s laugh and conversation were heard by Trishia, Kelly, and Bill.

Bill didn’t give attention to Kelly instead he suddenly smiled.

Trishia's eyes didn’t miss Bill’s smile.

If only she could forcefully drag Arabella out that instant, she would not spare any second to do it.

His smile was obviously from Arabella and Adam’s conversation.

How could that be possible when she was at his side but his mind and soul were with the people

behind him?

Trishia tried her best to control her anger but her veins were crazily bursting with madness.

Her lips were trembling like she didn’t want to smile anymore she had to show the people that she was

the luckiest girl in the room to be beside Bill Sky, her husband.

Trishia would stay in her position tonight.

People would know who is the real queen of the Sky family and no one could snatch her position.

Not even, Arabella Jones.

At the platform, they have designated seats.

Bill was seated in the front. Beside him, were Kelly and Trishia.

After Kelly was Adam and Arabella.

It was not to Arabella's liking but it was Adam.

She felt very uncomfortable like she wanted to go home that early but her little boy was holding her

hand.

Adam held her hand from the start and not a single moment that he let go of her hand.

Arabella felt very blessed with her son.

Adam was so reliable as if he was afraid that someone would hurt her mom and he would not let it

happen.

He would defend his mother no matter what.

From the crowd in front, she saw Eric and Rosy together. They are waving at her and Arabella waves

back at them secretly.

On the other side, Arabella saw Damien and Lira together.

Arabella frowned as they told her yesterday that they were not going.

What made them change their minds?

She didn't have an answer to that question but she wanted to know.

After a while, Bill gave a very good speech to everyone.

As a good speaker as he is, people gave him a standing ovation after his encouraging speech.

The dinner was served after and everyone enjoyed the festivity.

Kelly was always looking at Arabella with despising eyes.

She strongly opposed Bill's decision to have Arabella in the party.

Arabella understood Kelly's anger very well.

She knew her Aunt's Kelly hatred coming but she chose not to prove herself.

She had proven it before but Kelly's mind was closed.

She didn't believe everything she said.

No one believed her at that time.

Everyone was blaming her.

Arabella's heart was clenched hard when her memories of that night suddenly flashed across her mind.

Her eyes landed on the dance floor and saw herself mocked by everyone.

Red wine was flying in slow motion in the air and then landed on her face and dripped down to her

gown.

Someone pulled her neatly tied hair and someone threw some cocktail food at her.

Everything was in slow motion.

People were pointing fingers at her and their eyes were filled with despise toward her.

It was on that exact dance floor.

How could she forget that Bill held the party at the same venue too?

Realizing everything was coming back to hers, all her tiny skin hair went up.

She couldn't help to feel worried and nervous that it would happen to her again.

Arabella got a glass of water and drank it in one go.

"Mom, are you okay?" Adam asked worriedly.

Arabella smiled hiding her troubles from Adam. "Of course, because I am with you." It was true. Adam

gave her courage tonight.

Whatever happened, she would not be that same naive girl.

"Splash!!!" Just right after her thoughts, a wine splashed on her shoulders, and Arabella was instantly

soaked.
