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

Chapter 3: Ms. Arabella Jones

After the incident last night, Arabella spent her day sleeping on her bed. She didn’t mind the time. Her

body was still in a deep shocked. ‘That man is really a scumbag!’ she tightened her hug on her pillow

while thinking of the arrogant man last night.

She tried to remember his face, but it’s like a puzzle with a missing piece. ‘Who is he?’ She was

curious and at the same time anxious, but she couldn’t figure it out. She didn’t even remember how she

got out of that place.

Jason Hansen, her ex-boyfriend contacted her last night to have a good closure. He dumped her like

trash when his family knew the mess she went through. His ex-boyfriend is the CEO of Hansen Group

next to SKY Corporation. He is famous in Capital Z with his stunning good look and powerful aura that

one can be easily intimidated.

Jason was her boyfriend for almost 5 years. They had been classmates abroad. Their families were

close ever since and he was her childhood sweetheart. Too bad, she needed to live with her Aunt

abroad. Half of her life, she was living abroad. She never thought that they will meet again. There,

Jason seriously courted her and they became university couple.

Jason was her first love and her first kiss. Many times, Jason asked for her virginity, but she refused.

She will only give it to him as a gift on the night of their wedding.

Jason clearly understands and respect her reason after all it is all for him so they ended up cuddling

each other on the sofa whenever they hangout.

After their graduation, Hansen went back home to manage their company while she stayed abroad

pursuing her career. Hansen never failed to visit her in every special occasion like, their anniversary,

Valentine’s Day even Christmas and New Year’s Holidays.

She once thought, Jason was a perfect husband for her.

She once thought that she had a perfect life.

She once thought that she was the perfect daughter in the family.

Until she decided to come back home to surprise her parents, but to her dismay, her mom broke the

news to her.

“Your father has a mistress!” her mother cried out loud while trembling with tears in her eyes.

“Your dad already confessed to me about his affair of that woman long time ago.” She added in a sad

voice while tears keep flowing from her eyes.

Arabella knew her mother very well. Her mother is the most ‘martyr’ of all living things here on earth.

“What? Why, I didn’t know about this? Am I a little too late?” Arabella was shocked.

She was very disappointed with her father. She used to be her Hero.

When she was young, they used to be her inspiration. She witnessed their sweetness in front of her

and to all the people surrounded them. Her mom is very caring and loving and her dad is also sincerely

sweet to her mom. One can say they are the definition of a ‘perfect in – loved couple’.

She even dreamt to be just like them when she will have her own family in the future.

She even dreamt of a husband just like his father.

She idolized her family so much. ‘But what happened now?’ Arabella was lost on her thought.

This news for her was extremely horrifying. ‘What happened to their love for each other?’ She couldn’t

move, she couldn’t stand the fact that her perfect family was completely ruined.

“Where is Dad now? I want to talk to him!” She was so angry. She wanted to meet her dad and throw

the blame to his face.

She had so many questions in her mind that only her father could answer. She needed to get the right

answer or else she would explode.

At an early aged, she was trying too hard to be the perfect daughter for them. She let them decide for

her life without any complains just to make them happy. She was an obedient daughter. Whatever they

want, she just gave it to them. She always challenged herself to be the best of everything so they will

not get disappointed. And at present, she got used of being the best of everything she does and ended

up being a perfectionist.

All her friends, colleagues and other people around envy her so much. She has the perfect family, a

perfect boyfriend and a perfect career and beauty. What more could she ask for? One can say she got

all the luck in the world.

If only they know that her life is in a big mess right now. ‘Ha! Ha! Ha!’ She feels like laughing in

disgrace and she felt like wanting to punch someone to release her anger.

“He is not here. He flew to N City with her mistress for a business trip.” With annoyance, Jaime cut her

thoughts.

“What? Are you okay with that mom? This set- up is so bizarre!” Feeling perturbed, she retorted angrily.

“Listen up, I love your dad so much. I accepted already the fact that he has a mistress and I agreed not

to interfere with his relationship with that woman as long as he lives here with me.” Jaime explained

with sincerity in her eyes.

“What?” That’s the only word she can say. She was dumbfounded upon hearing these words from her

mother.

“I’d rather die without your father. We can still be happy, right? Come on Arabella! You just need to

accept it.” Facing her with sincerity, convincing her to accept the situation easily.

“Unbelievable! Well, sorry I am not like you, mom. If Dad will stay in this house with all his dirty affairs

consider me gone here” Arabella couldn’t contain it anymore. She stood up and swiftly ran directly to

her room slamming the door. She was heart – broken. How come her ideal family became a mess like

this?

She was so angry with her mom and dad for not considering her feelings towards their actions. ‘Am I a

fucking stranger in this house?’ ‘They don’t care about me!’

She must not live in this house or else she will be tortured by her mom’s misery and her dad’s

shameless face every day. ‘The heck!’ She packed her stuff in her luggage and called Jason to pick her

up, but the call cannot get through so she dialed her best- friend, Farrah Fin and asked her for help.

“Farrah, please pick me up tonight, I’m here now at my parent’s villa. I need to get out of her soon. Can

you come?” Arabella asked her straight away. She doesn’t want to give her a chance to say ‘no’. Her

voice was shaking resulted from crying.

“Hey. What’s up? Are you crying? Are you okay? “Farrah is her only best friend. They know each other

since they were in high school. Farrah Fin is an IT genius and specialized in hacking. She won many

awards in Cyber Security competition. Her family owns the biggest Cyber Security company in Capital

Z.

“Yeah, I’m alright. Please Hurry up! I will tell you everything.” Arabella wiped her tears from her swollen

eyes.

“I’m on my way. Cool down. Inhale. Exhale. Repeat it! Okay? I’ll be there.” Trying to calm her down

Farrah got up from her seat and walked out of her office.

“I’ll be okay. Drive safely!” She feels her lungs lacking of oxygen as she was already prepared to leave.

Farrah Fin arrived and brought her to her family’s villa. She is the only daughter of the Fin family so she

chose to live with her parents rather than having her own place. By this, she can look after them.

The two stayed together in Farrah’s room. Arabella didn’t want to be alone in the guest room. She

wanted to cuddle someone. She wanted to feel the warmth of a human to ease her sadness. Too bad,

her boyfriend was not her.

She tried calling Jason again while hugging Farrah in the bed. This time the line was picked up by the

other side.

“Hello Babe! I’m sorry I was stuck in my meetings today. I’m about to call you to return your call. Just

got out from work now. I’m heading to my parents’ house for a dinner tonight. How are you?” Jason

excitedly reported to her without any sign of stopping.

“I’m okay.” But she sounded like she was in a deep shit that one can easily identify what she’s been

going through.

“What happened? Are you okay Babe? Speak up.” With great sincerity, Jason asked.

After a moment of contemplating, Arabella shared the news to her boyfriend. Of course, he is her

boyfriend. He needs to know everything around her. Whether it’s good or bad. That's what makes a

perfect couple right? Honesty and Trust.

“Okay. Calm down Babe. I will pick you up tomorrow. I will be there in the morning.” Jason promised

her to live with him in his own place.

“Since you don’t want to go home. Maybe this the right time that will arrange our engagement. How’s

that Babe? You start a family with me. Is it that we both wanted?” Jason took the opportunity to

propose after all they have been together for so many years. Sure enough, his parents will stop urging

him to get married. For once, this might be the right time to put a period on it.

Upon hearing Jason’s words, she was flabbergasted. Her heart was jumping for joy. She never

expected that Jason will propose to her right at this very moment. He was a savior. He was the best

boyfriend ever.

Now that she wants to escape from her own parents, might as well make a family of their own with

Jason.

“Yes! I Love you Babe!” Her only reply to him from the bottom of her heart while crying for joy.

“Then see you tomorrow then. I will announce our plan to my parents tonight. I miss you Babe! Please

do not worry, I will take care of you. I cannot wait to see you. I love you Babe. Now, please rest your

mind and have a good sleep. Good night Babe!” Jason uttered with sweet sincerity. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jason never failed her before, and until now she doesn’t have any regrets about choosing him. He will

be a perfect husband for her.

I will show everyone that even my family was a mess, I still have my perfect man and that is Jason. Her

heart belongs to Jason and no one else.

After the call, she started imagining what her new life with Jason. She excitedly started from ‘how many

kids, will they have? ’What they will look like?’ Sure enough, they will be very handsome and pretty as

they are. ‘Wait, what’s going to be the decoration of our house?’ Even the smallest details she thought

with a smile.

She even pictured herself, Jason with their three kids happily smiling with each other like a ‘perfect

family’.

All her problems, annoyance and grievances just now instantly vanished into thin air because of Jason.

It’s like a tornado had passed and clear everything on its way.

That day, she slept with a smile and woke up with a smile. He expected Jason that day so she quickly

ran for a shower and excitedly tidied up herself. Farrah was still sleeping so she just moved smoothly

afraid to disturb the latter.

When her phone chimed. She is expecting the text is from Jason. ‘Maybe he is already outside.’ She

thought with a smile.

She quickly grabbed a sticky note and a pen to make a note for Farrah. ‘I’m going now with Jason!

Please give me a call when you read this. Let’s go shopping for my wedding gown. Bye and Thank you!

Arabella’

After writing her thank you message, she read the text, holding her luggage, ready to go out of the

room, suddenly, she stopped.
