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

Chapter 513: Tormented Love

"Bill..." Sounding like a ghost, Arabella's voice was so cold. "Bill... my love. Help me... Help me,

please..." Arabella felt trapped in the unending darkness.

She could not move nor cry.

Not even her tears were moving.

They were stuck inside her eyes.

Her body was very light but numb like it could float in the air.

She could not hear herself breathing nor feel her heartbeat.

'Am I dead?'

She had thought trying to figure out where she was in.

The darkness was consistent.

It had no plan to allow some light to enter like it was very oppressive.

"Bill... help!" Struggling to make her voice come out, she spoke again even if she knew that it was too

impossible that one could hear her. It was like Bill was the only person who could get her out of the

darkness.

Arabella was waiting...

She was patiently waiting for him…

Even if there was no hope that he would come... still, she was hoping for him to save her.

Meanwhile, the commotion in the airport went out of control when Damien got a gun and pointed it at

the woman who was in the wheelchair.

"If we cannot make it today my love, then maybe in the next life, we can be together. I swear we can be

together there. Just you and me together against the world. Just you and me..." Damien murmured with

his unstable stance. The temper he was controlling started to take over him.

He was losing it.

"Just you and me," These words resonated in the darkness coming from an indefinite direction.

Arabella was sure she heard Damien's voice but she could imagine someone... someone who he knew

before ... someone her mind didn't want to recall... Just like Damien, he is her friend.

He became her friend but it didn't end up well.

He became obsessed with her.

The love he wanted was beyond his imagination.

He loved someone in her identity and it went absurd.

He kidnapped her and forced her to love him back.

That was...

That is... But... It's impossible...

It had been a very long time ago.

Why did she suddenly feel his presence now?

It was so real but unreal. It was becoming so true.

He is near.

So near that she could smell him.

She could smell the danger he was carrying near her.

"Just you and me together against the world..." She heard him again.

These words were like a boomerang to her.

They kept coming to her non-stopped.

It kept on popping, reminding her that he still existed and it gave her a creep.

She suddenly felt immense fear.

He smiled like crazy and his eyes were filled with an obsession for her.

He was crazy.

Extremely insane.

He is none other than... William...

William Zimmer...

He is here...

Closer...

Nearer...

Beside her...

She could feel his presence so real...

He is back.

William Zimmer is back.

In the dark, Arabella was struggling to come back to life.

She wanted to run away from William.

His precarious obsession was so strong that could penetrate the darkness.

It was the only element from the outside that entered her darkness successfully.

It horrified her but she could not move anywhere.

Now she was trapped in the darkness and at the same time, fearful... bothersome... Felt so restless.

"Bill... save me..." With a ghost-sounding voice, she muttered helplessly.

"William! For God's sake! Please, put down your gown! You need help. Please surrender now before it

is too late!" Lira was shouting panicked.

She felt danger for Arabella and him.

Damien looked at Lira angrily.

"Shut up!!!" He howled angrily at her.

His bloodshot eyeballs bulged out of their socket due to excessive anger.

They were wearing extreme fury pierced specifically into her.

Lira felt sad about Damien despising her.

He was very angry at her and his enraged eyes said it all.

However, she had to save her friend, Arabella.

She could be selfish for Damien but at this time, she felt she had to do something.

She could not let Damien hurt someone again.

It was enough for him to press the detonator causing the death of many during the Sky Corporation

anniversary.

His main target at that time was Bill Sky and Eric.

Those two men were the reason he got dumped by Arabella.

Damien didn't like someone who had an interest in her.

He got jealous and this jealousy caused the massive killing.

"I trusted you, Lira but you betrayed me!!!" Damien growled again. "Why did you do this to me, huh?! I

just thought you love me enough to understand why I have to go. Why do I have to kidnap her and why

do I need to leave you." Disheartened mixed with the betrayed tone, Damien continued looking at Lira

so sharply.

If stares could choke, Lira must be out of the air by now.

Lira gritted her teeth to make herself stable through Damien's harmful gaze.

"William, selfishness isn't love anymore. Free Arabella now. She loved someone else, not you." Lira

managed to utter along with strong emotions.

She needed to wake him up from his delusions.

"William isn't my name so don't you ever call me that ever again!!!" Damien was pissed.

His irritation was shown all over his flustered face.

"I am Damien Lewis and I forbid you to call me that insignificant name!!!" The more Damien got angry

about Lira calling him another name.

"If I were you, Damien, you surrender now. You can't escape from here. Let's finish it here right now!"

Bill butted in wearing his overbearing stance.

Amidst the commotion, Bill was the calmest and Damien didn't like his kind of demeanor.

"Oh yeah, I should have finished you first. Bill Sky, how come you didn't die, huh?! You should die now!

"Damien hissed annoyingly then without wasting any seconds, he shot Bill but the latter shot his arm

first effortlessly.

Indeed, Bill was a sharp-shooter.

"Ahhh!!!" Blood instantly gushed out from Damien's arm. He didn't expect that Bill could shoot him first.

With an ailing arm, Damien's gun was immediately thrown to the ground creating a loud metallic sound.

However, he had an extra pistol inserted in his waist.

The shot from Bill Sky was too painful but Damien had endured it bravely.

He looked at Bill unmoved like he was not so bothered by him.

Clearly, Bill was belittling him as his enemy.

Damien didn't like it.

Man to man, Damien didn't want to admit that some man was good enough compared to him.

For him, he was the only best man for Arabella Jones and not another man especially, Bill Sky.

Damien looked at Bill cursing as his anger struck up.

"Freeze!!!!" The cops shouted in panic when they saw Damien get his pistol smoothly and he was

about to shoot Arabella.

He would never surrender no matter what.

If he had to die, he would carry Arabella in his death.

There, they would be together bound by infinity.

"Anna..." There seemed no other way for Damien to stop his madness.

Lira spoke in a quick span of time without thinking too much about it.

Out of the blue, Damien jolted.

His expression seemed to hear something that was beyond this world.

The name no one knew except him. Great shock filled Damien's eyes.

Again, it was coming from Lira.

Taking advantage of Damien's bothered situation, cops suddenly shot Damien but the latter stood

unmoved and untouched.

"Stop!!!" Lira's voice echoed. She had caught all their bullets.

In a swift action, she ran toward Damien and shielded him from the cop's attacks.

Immediately, blood came out of Lira's mouth.

She was in intense pain.

Tears came out of her eyes while Damien caught her body.

Policemen were taken aback seeing one civilian had caught their bullets.

"Lira, why?" Holding Lira's body to support her from falling to the ground, Damien asked frowning. He

was deeply moved by Lira's action and at the same time, he was very angry.

He was also in awe of Lira's knowledge about him and her actions.

Why did she need to shield him with her body to save him when she already betrayed him?

"Why Lira, why?!" Damien was now shouting impatiently.

There was great sadness in his eyes and they were scrutinizing her.

He wanted to see all the answers in her eyes.

Damien was not happy being saved by her.

He didn't want to see Lira hurt.

Her blood was an eyesore to him.

Damien's grip on Lira's arm and waist tightened.

His body was trembling in anger gritting his teeth hard.

"William, stop... this... now..." Struggling, Lira uttered with tearful eyes looking firmly at Damien.

"No, Lira... You can't die like this! I have to avenge you!" There was determination in his voice like he

could not be stopped.

The peak of his anger was uncontrollable.

He suddenly shot the cop who was the owner of the last bullet that pierced into Lira's body.

"Bang!!!" One bullet, Damien's aimed at him directly and successfully shot him dead.

The cop quickly fell to the ground.

But the next second, loud gunshots were heard.

It seemed there was a firing squad happening at the airport.

At this time, all the bullets were aimed at Damien's body.

Condemned, the cop didn't miss the chance to take him down.

Blood came out from every part of his body.

He didn't bulge like he still didn't want to surrender even if his body were filled with bullet holes.

The cops didn't stop shooting him until his gun was thrown away to the ground.

Damien spat blood.

His body bent forward painfully.

Lira hugged Damien tight to support him.

They both had blood coming out from their mouth as they slowly fell to the ground together.

Lying side by side on the ground, Lira looked at Damien like she was going to see him for the last time.

"You and me together forever..." Suddenly, these words came out of Lira's mouth.

Damien was shocked.

His red eyes met Lira's tearful eyes.

His eyes were scrutinizing

Lira gulped along with her heavy breath.

Her chest heaved up trying to grasp more air.

One could tell that Lira had difficulty in breathing but she didn't want to miss the last chance she was

going to be with him.

As for Damien, he was controlling his last breath.

He was holding onto something.

And that something was Lira's answer.

Who is she? Why?

Why did she know him?

Why did she know about Anna?

Damien looked at Lira deeply.

Before he died, he wanted to find the answers from her.

He was looking for her soul in her eyes when she smiled.

Suddenly, Damien's eyes widened.

Inside them, there was astonishment.

With Lira's smile, he could someone so dear to him.

It was the person he loved the most in his life.

The only person he wanted to be in his life.

The person he felt wronged and obsessed to find her to love her better.

"Anna..." Damien uttered looking at Lira deeply.

Hearing Damien calling her real name, she nodded along with her pain and smile.

A single nod from her was enough for Damien to understand everything.

Her nod was the only answer to all his questions.

Tears instantly came down from Damien's eyes.

How could he miss knowing Lira's true identity?

She was always beside him.

She never left him and she loved him wholeheartedly even if he didn't reciprocate her love.

"No... Lira... Lira! You can't leave! You can't leave... Open your eyes! Do not close your eyes! Come on

babe, breathe... You can't leave me. I'm so sorry... I love you." Damien's eyes were full of remorse. He

cried out loud without caring about the people surrounding him. Struggling so hard, he reached for

Lira's hand.

He saw Lira smile at him with sparkling eyes like she liked all the words he said.

After a long time of being with him, he finally said he loved her.

She felt joy in her heart.

William was her first love.

She was the only person she loved the most but then she needed to leave him.

Damien's grandma made her new face and identity too.

Aside from her parents, his grandma knew her secret.

When Damien went dangerously crazy over her, Lira was forced to leave him.

Her parents were sick and hurt too whenever William hurt her due to intense jealousy.

His obsession and possessiveness were too extreme and uncontrollable.

She loved him but Lira was tearing apart.

William's love came with danger.

It sucked all the positive energy from her.

Lira was threatened by him.

She didn't want to leave him but Damien seemed no cure.

He had no plan to fix himself.

He promised but failed.

He promised again and again but it wasn't working.

She ended up beaten by him.

Her mother knelt at Damien's grandmother to help her get away from William.

His grandmother promised to keep her secret from her grandson and cure William by all means.

Then, they came up to their last resort.

She then hide far away but then fate intervened.

Her heart brought her to him in Damien's identity. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

It seemed it knows its owner.

The love she suppressed for him for a long time ago awakened just like that.

She was okay without knowing about her.

Lira was satisfied seeing him loving someone.

She was okay being at his side and taking care of him in silence.

What she and Damien had was a tormented love but it was still love after all.

Lira gave Damien her sweetest smile.

It was Anna's smile that made him fall.

After, Lira slowly closed her eyes.

"No... no... Anna... no... wake up... please..." Along with his remorseful tears, Damien crawled to her on

the floor struggling painfully. His blood was dripping on the floor.

He endured all the pain and reached for Lira's body close to him while his remorseful tears flowed

tremendously.

Then, Damien slowly kissed Lira's forehead.

"Thank you... I love you," Damien whispered tenderly.

He finally saw the light from Lira's sacrifice.

The love she had for him was unselfish.

It endured.
