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

Chapter 235: Pride

“Bill Sky! Let go of me!” She roared while struggling from his grip but the man seemed not to hear her.

He strongly dragged her without giving her any chance to escape from his bone-breaking grip.

“You monster! You are the worst person in this world! You go back to hell where you belong!” The room

was filled with her unstoppable deafening screams.

Clenching her fists hard refusing to surrender to Bill Sky.

No matter what happened, this day should end with a good result.

She would not be satisfied if she could not avenge Damien.

Bill Sky should stop killing her loved ones.

He had no right to kill someone whoever he wanted to.

Not because he had lots of money, he could kill anyone depending on his mood. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

He was mentally sick and he should be punished.

If the law could not, she will.

She had so much of him.

Her nerves were contracting with her intensifying outburst.

“You are a freak and you should lock yourself in a mental hospital!” She kept on roaring her anger out

when Bill pushed her hard inside the room.

So hard that she fell directly to the bed with intense pain in her back.

She crouched for a while to ease the pain and quickly struggled to get up but soon she heard the door

was closed with a bang.

“Sh*t!” She could not help but seethe in the air.

If she was not mistaken Bill locked her up inside.

She quickly ran to the door to confirm her doubt and she was not mistaken.

The man had locked her up inside his private room of the office.

Arabella was in a panic but her anger never subsided.

She kept on banging the door with her hands and fists.

She deliberately made a sound to capture the man’s ear outside.

She would never rest until Bill would open her.

The pain in her hands was unbearable already.

Her knuckles were already swollen and crimson.

She looked at his room to find something useful.

Her eyes landed on Bill’s plaques of his awards.

Her anger aroused more when she saw his awards.

An evil man should not be rewarded.

For her, Bill Sky was not deserving to be given an award.

If there's an award for the evilest, he would probably win too.

Arabella quickly got the heaviest one and use it to bang the door.

She wanted to insult him by banging his plaque on the door.

With her outburst, she wanted to destroy all his trophies.

She kept on banging it and she had no plan to stop until the door would open.

“Bill Sky! If I can go out from here, you better run because I will kill you!” She roared angrily while

smashing the door with Bill’s trophy.

“I will punish you for what you have done to my friend and I will make sure you can’t touch me and all

my friends ever again!” She kept on roaring and banging the door but she didn’t get any response from

the outside.

On the other side, Bill Sky was standing in front of his 360-degree wall glass while his two hands were

in his side pockets.

His sharp gaze was pierced at the overlooking view of the city.

Amidst all the noise and banging, he seemed not to hear anything.

He still stood like a figure of an overbearing king.

A man who's molded by power.

After a while, his landline rang but he didn’t answer nor gave attention to it.

He let it ring and ring repeatedly.

His sharp stare never left the sight in front of him.

After a while, men strode inside his office.

Bill seemed to already anticipate their visit.

He didn’t move to entertain them instead his back greeted them.

“Mr. Sky, release Arabella now!” A man ordered in a threatening voice.

Bill seemed not to hear him for a while as he didn’t move.

Eric Grant came to save Arabella.

“Mr. Sky, please release Ms. Arabella Jones as detaining a person is against the law. We are obliged to

arrest you, sir.” The man sounded polite with not so confident tone.

After the man’s words, Bill slowly turned around. His sharp gaze landed on Eric immediately.

Eric was meeting his eyes.

He was confident and fearless.

“Show me your warrant now,” Bill ordered impatiently. He seemed displeased that they disturbed him

from staring at the city view.

The officer trembled with how Bill looked at him and demanded.

“Sir, we…” The officer tried to explain but he was cut by Bill.

“If you don’t have any, I will give you a chance to get out of my office right now.” Bill simply uttered but

his words carried a dangerous threat when delayed.

The officers were stunned.

They knew the two billionaires and they were caught in the middle of the situation.

Eric had to call an officer for his backup.

He could not gather all his men to get inside Bill's building as Bill had also his own troops to block

them.

Since it was Bill’s territory, Bill would never back down.

In that part, Eric had to be wiser.

There’s only one way to enter Bill’s den.

Eric called the police station near the Sky Corporation and reported that Bill Sky was forcefully

detaining a girl in his office.

As expected, the officers came quick.

With them, Eric successfully entered the building with The Sky’s men escorting them.

Earlier, Eric drove Arabella there but the latter asked him to wait in the parking.

Maybe she had thought that they could not be able to enter the building if he would come with her or

maybe she wanted to spare him from any danger inside Bill’s office.

Waiting in the parking lot was killing Eric.

He regretted that he listened to Arabella.

His worries about her were surging up.

If he refused earlier, Arabella would be displeased.

Her expression was determined to score up with Bill.

Settling it for once was a good idea but for Eric, it was impossible that Bill would just let her.

First, they had a son.

Bill would never allow Arabella to take away his son from him.

Second, Adam is the only heir of Sky Corporation.

Bill would impossible to lose him.

Lastly, Bill had pride.

Winning for him was to punish Arabella.

Eric had a long time studied their situation.

Now that Bill knew about his relationship with Arabella, Eric expected that Bill would do anything to

bring his pride back.

With his connection and money, Arabella would certainly kneel on the ground but with his help, that

would never happen.

He already swore that he would protect Arabella with his life.

Inside the room, Arabella sat on the ground with her back leaning on the door.

After a long time of banging and screaming, her throat was swollen and her hands were hurting too.

She had no plan to surrender but she had to give herself time to rest.

Her mind was wandering somewhere.

She was thinking ahead about what Bill is planning to do to her?

Is he gonna lock up her in his room forever?

Is he going to kill her in this room?

Is he going to starve her there in the room until she slowly dies?

While her mind was thinking about the worst things that Bill could do to her, in her subconscious, she

had to move and had to find a way to escape.

She will never allow Bill to kill her just like that.

She went over to Bill’s things.

She didn’t find any until her eyes landed on the ceiling.

Then they caught the fire sensor on the ceiling.

She smiled as she had thought of something.

She quickly stormed all over the spaces where she could find something to make fire until she got

inside Bill’s bathroom.

There, her eyes lit to see what she had been looking for.

Bill’s bathroom had aroma candles.

She quickly looked for the lighter on his cabinets then bingo!

She found a gold slim lighter.

With all the side tables and chairs over the other, Arabella successfully reached the fire sensor.

With the candle already lit, she raised it to the sensor, and just a flip of a second, the fire alarm of the

whole building resonated.

She smiled successfully and jumped down.

She got another Bill’s trophy and started to bang the door again.

She was hopeful that somebody would hear her now if ever Bill had left his office.

When there’s fire, someone would probably check the CEO’s floor.

“Help! Help! I’m here!” She screamed her loudest.

“Sir, there’s banging on the door.” The younger officer reported quickly to the older officer.

They were about to leave the premise as the fire alarm had sounded.

Without waiting for Bill’s permission, Eric strode in the direction of the sound.

He was sure that it was Arabella.

Bill just looked at him and he didn’t stop Eric.

Eric was followed by the policemen.

Bill's men were stayed rooted in their posts guarding their boss.

“Arabella! Are you there? Arabella! Answered me!” Eric shouted.

He found her but they are in a state of emergency.

They had to leave the building immediately.

“Help! Eric! Help!” Arabella answered.

The policemen tried to unlock the door but it didn’t work.

Bill’s door needed a passcode.

“Wait for me! Relax there… We are going to save you.” Eric tried his best to pacify her.

He knew she was alone inside and he thought she was frightened right now.

Eric kicked the door repeatedly but it didn’t work.

“Ahhhh!” He couldn’t hold his temper as he was so pissed with the situation.

He had to get Arabella first before they could escape the building.

He had to be quick if he didn’t want them to turn into ashes together with the building.

Pissed off, Eric quickly went back to Bill Sky who was now wearing his coat calmly.

He seemed planning to leave Arabella inside his room with the fire.

They said Bill Sky is cruel but he couldn’t believe that he really is.

“Bill Sky, let go of Arabella now!” Eric roared while grasping his collar.

Eric’s eyes were already killing the man who was colder than the ice.

“Take your hands away from me,” Bill said calmly but his words were dangerous when delayed.

His men were alarmed but Bill lifted his hand to stop them.

Eric released him.

At this moment, he could not make him angry or Arabella would be in great danger.

“Mr. Sky, you have to let her go or she will die there!” Eric’s voice was heavy.

He seemed to punch him if only he had nothing from him.

Bill looked at Eric sharply and smirked mockingly.

“Mr. Grant, keep your woman beside you. She seemed to miss her husband a lot.” Bill said

meaningfully.

His expression was telling Eric that he didn't care about the woman trapped in his room.

Bill didn't care if she was going to die there.

Eric was holding his anger by clenching his fists hard. He would allow Bill to provoke him for now.

After Bill had fixed his coat calmly, he threw something in Eric’s direction.

Eric quickly got it.

It was the card key of Bill’s room.

Thank you wasn't for Bill, Eric left the man without saying anything and stormed back to Arabella.

The officers quickly cleared the way for Eric.

Then with the help of the card, they successfully opened the door.

Arabella came out with cold sweats and when her eyes landed on her savior, she couldn’t help herself

but hug Eric.

Her eyes became teary but just when her tears were about to fall, she caught a glimpse of Bill Sky.

The man’s sharp eyes bored into her direction while she was hugging Eric.

The man’s face swiftly made her remember the reason why she was there.

She quickly strode to the man’s direction who was now leaving his office with his men leading the way.

As the fire alarm sounded, everyone was in a panic but on the CEO’s floor, the situation was normal

but intense.

Bill strode to the elevator calmly.

“Stop!” Arabella ordered shouting.

She was chased by Eric and the officers behind.

Bill didn’t stop.

He continued walking without giving any care about her.

“I said stopped!” She demanded again roaring but the man just walked still.

“Bill Sky, I’m gonna kill you!” Her outburst was unstoppable.

Remembering how he imprisoned her in his room, and Damien who was lying unconscious in the

hospital, she was really irked.

After hearing her harsh words, Bill stopped.

He slowly turned around to face her.

With a cold-hearted expression, he looked at the girl who he used to know but not.

The air instantly froze when their scorching and blaming eyes met.

Then, just after the next second, a gunshot was heard.

Bill fell to the ground.
