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

Chapter 509: Little Hope

Arabella felt her body was cold and trembling tremendously.

The surrounding was quiet but her mind was screaming for freedom.

Her longingness to see her son and husband was invincible.

She could not believe she did reach the ground successfully as she thought of giving up in the middle.

She could still feel her nerves were shaking but now that she felt the ground with her bare feet, she felt

quite a relief.

Now, all she needed to do was to run far away from the place.

Along with the chilly wind outside and the rough stony ground, Arabella was full of hope that she could

see her son and her husband again but to her shock, someone seemed to wait for her on the ground.

He waited for her to come.

He made a trap and she fell for it.

In the dark, Damien was standing smoking a cigarette.

The heavy smoke coming from him blended with the chilly air giving Arabella a creepy side of him.

She was not expecting to see him there as she thought Damien was already asleep at this time but she

was definitely wrong.

Arabella was taken aback and at the same time petrified.

Clearly, it wasn't just a coincidence.

He sensed that she knew everything and he deceived her once again.

"No!!! Don't come! Stop right there, Damien!!!" Arabella shouted horrifyingly when Damien threw his

cigarette and strode toward her.

"Don't come to me!" She felt sharp objects on the ground but it didn't hinder her from stepping back.

Amidst her objection, Damien was not stopping as he strode directly toward her.

Arabella didn't know what to do but she was clear to herself that she didn't want to go back with him

inside.

"Slap!!!" Damien didn't say a single word.

He just grabbed her hands but Arabella refused and hit him hard.

She slapped him on the face along with her raging heart. "How dare you! Don't touch me!" Arabella's

heart was bleeding.

Till this time, she still couldn't believe that her long-time friend, Damien betrayed her and she could still

not believe that he killed Trishia.

If the two had connived then that just meant Damien also betrayed Trishia.

Though she tried wracking her brain still she could not understand him nor she could forgive him for

what he did to her.

Her son and husband were at the hospital harmed and in danger, while he kept her there.

She didn't even know what to think anymore.

She didn't know if all information he told her about her family was true or another deception from him

again.

She could no longer trust his words and Arabella was just hoping that Adam and Bill made it.

That they were both safe wherever they are now.

She could no longer help herself missing them every second.

She wanted to see them and be with them badly.

"Slap!!!" Arabella's tears had already fallen their way down as she slapped Damien again so hard the

same heaviness she had in her heart.

Damien still didn't utter a single word.

He let her bend her anger toward him.

He didn't dodge nor protect himself.

He stood up giving free access to his beater.

"Slap!!!" This was the third slap she gave him.

Damien still didn't dodge and stood there in front of her.

"How dare you do this to me, Damien! You don't have the right to decide in my life!" She roared angrily

along with her heavy heart then she punched him continuously on his chest but he still didn't say a

word.

"I don't know what got into you but I don't know you anymore. You are a murderer! You deceive me! Tell

me, huh! Why are you doing this? Is someone paying you? Kelly? Huh?! Are you now on her side?

What about our friendship, Damien? Is that also one hell of a deception? Huh?!" Arabella could not find

her calm.

She wanted to know the truth from him and at the same time punish him for kidnapping her.

He had no right to decide what was good for her or not if that was his reason for keeping her.

She was pissed at him.

So pissed that she could not stop hitting him.

"What Damien? What? Why are you not saying anything, huh?" Arabella continued more annoyed

because of not getting any answer from him. She clenched her fists hard and gritted her teeth. "If you

have no plan to answer me, then get out of my way!" Arabella wiped her tears and straightened up then

without waiting for his permission, she took a step forward only to be hindered by Damien again.

He grabbed her wrists.

She strongly refused but her refusal strongly faded when Damien took a handkerchief and quickly

covered her nose with it.

Instantly, all the strength in her body was vacuumed then her sight became so blurry until she finally

collapsed.

Damien then carried her in a bridal position inside and back to her room again.

When he put Arabella on her bed, he called someone to clean her body.

Her feet and arms were bruised.

He saw her determination to escape from him but that would not happen.

Damien smirked as he looked at the hidden CCTV camera in Arabella's room.

He saw her 24 hrs.

Every breath she took and her every movement.

He looked at the unconscious Arabella with an unreadable stare before he stepped out of the room.

Morning came and Arabella woke up with a heavy body.

She felt she had a nightmare the other night.

The freedom from escaping was so real to her.

Slowly opening her eyes, she sat up quickly realizing that she was inside the same room.

She immediately cupped her forehead to remember everything she needed to remember.

The night she escaped.

She could not be dreaming.

It was real. She knew it was because of the pain in her feet.

There were sharp objects on the ground that pierced her skin that night.

She could still feel the sting.

At some point, she wished that everything she discovered about Damien was not real because she

didn't want to lose a friend like him.

She valued their friendship so much because he had been a very good friend of her.

Heaven knew how Damien had helped her and how she survived because of him.

She wished everything to be just a dream but reality suddenly struck her.

Damien was the mastermind.

He kidnapped her and kept her away from her family.

This pained her because in the future, whatever his excuses and reasons for all he did, she could not

see herself forgiving him.

She could not forgive and forget what he did to her.

He had gone too far.

Too far that he ruined their friendship.

Arabella didn't want to be Damien's friend anymore.

She despised him so much.

She looked up to see another drip.

If she was not mistaken, Damien was feeding her body's nutrients through the IV fluids.

She quickly took the needles out from her skin.

It hurt but she managed it anyway.

Then her eyes landed on the cup of coffee on her bedside table.

Again, it was hot with its smoke mixing the air.

Her eyes despised even Damien's coffee.

She quickly grabbed it and smashed the cup into the wall.

A shattering sound instantly resonated in the area.

Arabella breathed heavily and was rebellious.

Damien could not lock her there forever.

She needed to find a way to escape there.

She would never stop until she was breathing and no one could stop her.

Then she stood up looking at the window again but this time, she could not open it.

She tried so hard again and again but it didn't budge even a bit.

Damien had put a huge lock on it.

Even though, Arabella didn't plan to stop. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

If Damien was planning to keep her there forever then she would not give him what he wanted.

She rather die than to stay there worthless.

Arabella heaved a sigh of rage.

She was restless and she could not find her calm even for a bit.

Her heartbeat was fast like it urged her and pressure her to escape.

There was no other way out only the grilled window but now it was locked.

Arabella took the lampshade then she threw it smashing it into the wall.

It cracked and created a loud discomfort sound.

Then she took the vase and smashed it into the huge mirror.

This created a louder shattering sound.

She would not stop ruining things inside if Damien would not let her go.

"Damien open this fucking door!!!" She went hysterical along with her raging heartbeat.

No one wanted to be imprisoned inside an empty room.

Especially not Arabella who had a family waiting for her.

Arabella took the huge drawer and kept banging on the door.

She would never stop.

She would never give peace in this house especially the people there or Damien alone.

A successful loud noise was created but no one had responded to her.

Her voice was like going somewhere.

Her throat had gone dry.

Her body became weaker.

She sat on the floor while her back was leaning on the door.

She created not just a loud noise but a huge mess inside.

Pieces of glass broken were scattered on the floor.

The chairs were also broken.

Tables turned upside down.

With now the lampshade's stand on her hand, she continued to bang the door until the noise she made

was all gone.

She woke up another day again.

Everything was back to normal.

No messy floor and the shattered pieces of glass on the floor were completely gone.

The floor was spotless just like that.

The mess she created was gone and she was again injected with IV drip.

She quickly got it away with less pain now as her skin was already used to it.

Arabella felt hopeless.

Staying there seemed already a decade.

She didn't want to stay there for another second.

She rather starved herself to death.

Her eyes became teary then her tears started to fall.

She felt so sad.

Her body and mind were so tired of trying but she always failed.

Maybe Damien would let her go if she was already dying.

The whole day she was awake.

She didn't want to miss the day.

She wanted to see who was going to enter her room.

With that, she could grab something to hit the person and run her way out.

First, she needed to regain her strength.

It was already evening when someone opened the door.

Before she could reach the door opening, it closed.

A tray of food was placed on the floor.

"Eat," Damien said behind the door.

"I'd rather starve and die," She sat on the floor and leaned her back on the door's surface.

A smooth sound behind the door's surface was heard.

Damien seemed to sit also on the opposite side.

"I don't want you to die," Damien's tone was deep.

"Being in here is like dying. I am dying if I can't be with them." She answered in a more relaxed tone as

her tears were falling.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Trust me, Arabella." Damien said with full of sincerity in his voice.

"Bullsh*t, Damien!" She couldn't help but curse his lame words. " You know exactly what's good for me.

It is being with my son and my husband. Don't you get it? They are my family. They are my life." She

spoke with a heavy heart.

For a moment, Damien didn't reply.

"What about us?" His words were the deepest mixed with doubt and extreme sadness.

"I only have my son, Adam, and my husband, Bill Sky. You... you are my friend once... you are my good

friend once," She said disheartened.

"I don't want to be your friend. I want you, Arabella. When you came into my life, you changed me. You

gave me hope to live again."

Damien's tone was in deep sadness. "I had a rough life but came like a medication to me. You healed

me and you made me see myself as worthy of something." Damien was deeply attached to his words

and Arabella could feel him.

For an inexplicable reason, she could feel sympathy toward Damien though her anger toward him was

at its peak.

"I can't be with you, Damien because I don't love you as a man," Arabella spoke directly to stop him.

Damien didn't answer for a while.

"I can't love you because my heart belongs to someone else, Damien. It solely belongs to Bill Sky and I

will never love someone aside from him so please, Damien. For the sake of our friendship if there was

a little hope of it in your heart, I was holding to it right now, please let me go. Please let me be with my

family. Please, Damien.

I want to be with them.

I miss them so much and I love them." Tears kept falling along with her throbbing heart.

Arabella was hoping for that little hope from their once genuine friendship.

"I'm sorry. I can only make you love me but I can't let you go." Damien answered in a deep voice along

with a sound that he was getting away. After, Arabella heard a loud cracking sound and banging

outside.

If she was mistaken it was Damien.

He would not let her go because he loved her.

He wanted her to be with him.

This made her feel scared of Damien.

His tone and actions were too serious and harmful.

He was dangerous.

Arabella ate the food he gave her.

She needed a lot of strength for her baby.

At dawn, someone went inside her room again.

Arabella woke up with the commotion in her room.

She opened her eyes only to see Damien's mom.

"You..." Arabella uttered in shock at the woman who was standing in front of her.

She was not in her wheelchair and she walked.

She dressed no fancy and had a low ponytail.

She was too different from the woman she met before her wedding.
