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

Chapter 265: Weak Competitor

Last night, Eric got a call from Rosy.

Without her telling him, Eric knew something bad happened.

Could it be related to work or personal matters, he still didn’t have any idea yet.

Rosy didn’t want to talk about it over the phone. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She required him to fly back and see her personally.

The only thing Rosy said was that it was an urgent and very important matter.

As planned, his private plane was scheduled for the earliest flight but before that, he wanted to check

on Arabella and informed her that he would be gone for a couple of days. Not just that but his heart

wanted to see her again.

He wanted to make sure that all was fine for her before he goes.

Now that Arabella was slowly accepting them again, Eric wouldn’t miss his chance anymore.

If he had to start from the beginning, he would.

If he had to court her again, Eric promised that he would not give up on courting her just like before.

With the marriage that bonded them, he swore to get Arabella back again in their lives.

Arabella belongs to him now.

She is his wife and he would not divorce her.

He never wanted any other girl than her to be his wife.

Meanwhile, Arabella’s heart seemed to stop beating seeing Bill Sky appear in front of them top naked.

She was serious when she said to him not to go out but he defied her.

What could he expect from the kid-brain like Bill Sky?

“You!” Eric shouted in shock.

He couldn’t believe what he saw. Bill Sky came out from Arabella’s room.

Arabella’s mind panicked as she looked at Eric’s displeased expression.

The tension in the living room turned intensely high.

Arabella knew how pissed Eric was at Bill Sky.

He was dying to kill him that day in the restaurant but they weren’t able to meet.

Now that he saw him face to face, Arabella was afraid that what she had imagined last night would

happen.

The killings…

Brutality…

Bloods…

Dead body…

Thinking all these, Arabella quickly snapped back to her senses.

“Yes, It’s me, Mr. Eric Grant,” Bill said lazily. His expression was weak but his arrogance was still

screaming all over his aura.

“Arabella?” Eric looked at her trying to find a reasonable explanation of the current situation.

Eric knew exactly how she hated Bill Sky but how could she let him sleep with the man in his room?

Is he the only one seeing things differently?

Eric felt confused about the situation.

Of all people, Arabella would be the last to take this man inside her house.

“Brother, let me explain. Bill…”Arabella quickly uttered but Eric raised his hand to stop her.

He seemed didn’t want to hear her explanation anymore.

“That’s enough, Arabella.” Then Eric quickly held her wrist and dragged her to his side. “You are

coming with me now.” Eric declared in a serious firm voice.

Judging his tone, he didn’t give Arabella a chance to refuse him. “Now, let’s go.” He added strictly.

How can he leave her with Bill Sky?

There’s no way he would let Bill Sky harm Arabella once again.

Arabella sensed Eric’s worries for her.

Maybe she needed Eric for her to snap back to her senses.

Eric was right.

Why did she have to be with Bill Sky?

Since he could walk by himself then maybe he can go home now.

If he would stay in her house then maybe she would go.

There’s no need for them to be together today.

He saved her life last night but she also saved him.

That just meant they are fair. They owe nothing to each other.

Arabella let Eric hold her hand and she was determined to go with Eric but when she turned around to

leave, her other arm was grabbed by Bill Sky.

She stopped.

Eric stopped.

Then turned around with eyes scorching in anger.

“Bill Sky, let go of my wife. Listen to me when I am still nice.” Eric saw Bill’s bandage on his side with a

fresh bloodstain.

If he wanted to harm him it was very easy but it was not the time to take advantage of a weak

competitor.

It was not a fair fight and only for cowards but if he provoked him, he would never back down.

“Bill, let go. I’m going with Eric. Leave my house and don’t come back again.” Arabella met his

bottomless eyes. She wanted to know what he was thinking but his eyes were no emotions.

Bill didn’t talk but he didn’t let go of her arm either.

“Let go of my wife now!” Eric couldn’t control his anger seeing Bill touch his wife.

Along with his roar was a strong push on Bill’s shoulder but Bill was unmoved.

Arabella was in a panic.

She felt the tension was going to explode badly if Eric and Bill would continue to be in the same room.

Between the two, surely Bill would be the one who would suffer since he was already wounded and

weak.

He had a pale face and couldn’t even stand straight.

It was obvious that he was still in great pain but managed to show himself in front of them.

If Eric would punch him, there’s no doubt Bill would easily fall to the ground due to lack of strength but

what is he doing?

Why is it that despite his weak condition, he still angered Eric?

Does he want to be punched?

Bill Sky would never humiliate himself, especially with Eric Grant.

“Bill let go now!” Arabella shouted.

She didn’t want anything messes to happen in her apartment.

Bill was still unmoved. His eyes just pierced into her.

Why this man is so stubborn?

“What do you want, Bill Sky? Huh! …” Eric’s expression was already a killer. “What do you want!?” Eric

pushed Bill’s shoulder forcefully but Bill was unmoved.

Arabella could see Eric was turning into his beast mood again.

Eric already became very irritated with Bill Sky’s no reaction through his nagging.

He finally held Bill’s bandage and pushed him away.

Bill shoved directly on the couch.

Arabella saw his blood was dripping out as the bandage couldn’t control the amount of blood coming.

Clenching his fists hard, Eric let go of Arabella as he was about to attack Bill who was now sitting with

his eyes closed in pain.

“No! Brother! Stop!” Arabella blocked Eric’s way.

She didn’t know what she was doing right now but she felt she had to do it otherwise Bill Sky would be

in danger.

With the continued blood coming out of his wound, he would definitely die.

“Arabella, what are you doing? Step aside! That man harmed you. Don’t forget he tortured you. He

made you suffer terribly. And don’t forget you hated him out of all people in this world. Now move aside

so we end his life right now and get your revenge!” Eric was already hysterical.

He finally exploded after trying his best to control his anger toward Bill.

After Eric’s words, Arabella's mind was a great mess.

Yes. Her brother Eric was right. Everything he said was right. But why she could not still allow Eric to hit

Bill Sky? Why she was so stupid again to have pity for the man who had done no good to her only

miseries? Bill Sky is always a powerful man and now he was just lying on the couch bleeding and

powerless.

“No! Brother… listen to me. I don’t want you to be a murderer to this unworthy man.” Her eyes were full

of worries about the current situation.

She just didn’t want to witness violence. “Let’s go, brother.” That was the only thing she could think of

as she was also fighting with her inner self.

She didn’t want to pity him as he didn’t deserve any of it. There's no question about it. She would never

choose Bill Sky over Eric.

"Arabella, don't go!" Even in his bad situation, Bill was still ordering her domineeringly.

His face was paler as his eyes were closed.

She didn't like it. He had no right to order her.

"Hahaha.." She let out a soft laugh. "You are funny Bill Sky. I would never choose you over Eric Grant."

She sounded arrogant. "Long live Bill Sky." She added mockingly.

She knew she was overboard for mocking him in his dying condition but who could blame her?

Insulting Bill Sky in his condition. She didn't care. He was losing her nerves.

Quickly, she dragged Eric’s arm out of the room leaving Bill who was bleeding tremendously.

Along with her strides, her mind was still in a deep mess.

Her conscience was bugging her up while she was fighting herself for what she believed was right.

Bill Sky was her best enemy.

He was already lucky enough that she put his wound a dressing last night.

No. She took care of him the whole night. She even slept on the couch to monitor him.

For a person who greatly suffered in his hand, it was already a miracle for her to serve him.

But what if he died there in her apartment?

No.

Bill Sky would not easily die.

What if everyone would blame her?

What if Adam would see her as a murderer of his father?

He would hate her all his life.

“Brother, wait!” Arabella stopped before she could enter his car.

Eric looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“I … I can’t go with you,” Arabella said with a sincere expression.

Eric shook his head. He seemed not to believe his ears with her statement.

“Arabella, I can’t leave you with that man.” Eric was totally pissed inside but he tried to control it in front

of her. “He did a lot of hideous things to you. I can’t be in peace leaving you alone here… Forgive me

but if I have to cancel my flight now, I will just protect you from that asshole.” Obviously, Eric was trying

to convince her to be with him abroad.

“Brother, trust me. I will handle Bill Sky on my own.” Arabella said firmly.

“What if he would harm you again? What if he will kill you? What if…” Eric could not find his calm with

her decision. He still couldn’t trust her words and he would never understand why she had to go back.

“Brother… he might not be good to me but he’s a good father to Adam.” She heaved a deep sigh and

her eyes suddenly became misty remembering Adam. “Don’t worry, Bill could not do anything to me.

You see it in your own eyes. He was very weak now or maybe as we speak, he already lost a lot of

blood and die.” She said to finish the conversation. “Go on, now brother. Your plane is already waiting

for you.” Arabella added.

“No! I can’t.” Eric wasn’t satisfied but he also thought about his problem with Rosy. “In one condition,

send Bill to the hospital.” Eric heaved a deep sigh. “I don’t want him to be in your apartment. Clear?”

Eric was firmed.

Arabella hear Eric clearly and he was right. It was all her plan.

She would call an ambulance to get him whether Bill like it or not, she would not care.

She would get rid of him away. He would not be her responsibility anymore.

“I will call now.” Arabella raised her phone and dialed it. After she informed the reception on the other

line, Eric drove and left. She heaved a deep sigh.

Then Bill’s blood flashed across her mind.

She stormed back to his apartment but the man was not on the couch where they left him.

For whatever reason, she felt nervous.

Her heart was beating so fast.

She went to the bedroom but there was no Bill.

She also checked the bathroom but there was no Bill.

She went out again to check the kitchen maybe he felt hungry but he was not there.

She sat on the couch trying to stabilize her heartbeat.

Where’s he?

Why did she feel very worried?

With his condition, he is probably in a very difficult situation trying to save his life.

Then her eyes landed on the bloodstain on the floor.

He confirmed Bill had already gone out.

She quickly stood up and traced the blood marks on the floor but they disappeared when it was out of

the building.

After confirming that Bill was not around anymore, she called and canceled the ambulance.

Then she heaved a deep sigh.

She should be happy that he was gone but why her worries were still bugging her?

Shaking her head to get rid of her concerns about Bill Sky, she was about to stride back to her unit

when someone called her from behind.

Arabella stopped.

How could she forget this voice? This voice made her happy and cry so many times. It also made her

sleep at night when she had difficulty sleeping.

“Ara… Arabella,”

Turning around slowly, Arabella froze seeing the owner of the voice.

She couldn't believe what she saw.

She was right.

The man was none other than…

“Dad?”
