You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 105

Arabella froze. Her cold sweat came out and her face turned suddenly pale.

Adam never did ask her about his father before and she was very thankful for it. She didn’t think this time would come and she was not prepared for it.

How could she tell him that his father was the cruelest man in the world?

The most despicable.

A heartless man.

6 years ago, she almost lost her son again.

Lying on the ground bleeding and begging for mercy. She looked at Bill but he only had disgusted eyes for her. At her helplessness and most painful moment in her life, Bill let her witnessed him kissing Trishia passionately.

Remembering her dark experience, Arabella’s tears instantly came out uncontrollably like a river flowing without no trace of stopping.

“Your father… your father is…” She couldn’t continue as the rest of her words were stuck in her throat. All she wanted to say was his father was dead, but her conscience would not allow it. Her heart had been hardened by her sorrows but there’s still a little soft part that she couldn’t get rid away.

That’s her conscience.

She wanted to kill Bill in the eyes of Adam, but she couldn’t do it. Arabella needed more time to practice it, but she didn’t know this time would come this sudden.

“Mom. It’s okay. You don’t need to answer. I don’t want to see you hurt.” Adam cut her and wiped her tears away, then he simply touched Arabella’s soft cheeks with his little palms. Seeing his mom with hardships, he didn’t want to put her under pressure. He witnessed her mom with nightmares almost every night. Without asking her dream, Adam knew that his mom’s dream was his father. She always begged for him in her dream, saying, “Bill help!”. In his little mind, he would make his own way to discover who’s really his real father. He already had a lead and that the name of his father is Bill.

Arabella felt relieved by her son’s loving and sincere action.

“Little fellow, are you awake now?” Damien came out behind the door.

“Uncle Damien!” Adam, acknowledging his uncle excitedly.

“I got barbecues. Who wants to eat?” Damien’s hand was full of paper bags.

“Me! Me! Me!” Adam raised his hand first cheerfully. He seemed to be back with his normal hyperactive vigor.

“Me!” Arabella also raised her hand.

Then the three ate happily.

Monday came and Damien solved the problem in Adam’s school. Dressed in his best suit, he formally introduced himself as Adam’s father. With his elegance and good-looking face, teachers included the old principal giggled and started to treat Adam nicely. The three bullied boys were also scolded by Damien. But even without Damien, they felt they had no match with Adam in fighting. Seeing Adam again, they already behaved their selves.

“Flowers for you again.” Lira smiled, showing the bouquet of flowers.

Arabella smiled at her beautiful personal assistant slashed Adam’s nanny.

Lira Moore.

Lira was an orphan and worked in the orphanage managed by nuns in a small village of Country Y. For so many times that Arabella almost lost Adam, she showed her gratefulness by helping to raise funds for the orphanage. Sometimes, she brought Adam in the orphanage to mingle with the children and Adam even took the initiative to teach the children advance mathematics, science and music. That’s where Arabella met Lira. She was a long-time servant in the orphanage. Lira took care of the basic necessities of the children with the help of other servants. She approached Arabella to work as she wanted to see another world.

Lira had an ultimate crush of Damien since the first day she saw him. She even volunteered to be Adam’s nanny just to get close to Damien but he had no eyes for Lira but both of them cared Adam so much.

“Okay, enough with flowers. Please, let me see our bookings first.” Arabella smiled and had full of energy to work.

“Ow! About that Ms. J, this morning the party organizer of the City’s Chamber of Commerce will hold a cocktail party next month and they are requesting you to play.” Lira cheerfully announced.

“Cancel please.” Arabella replied lazily.

“Ms. J, as per Mr. John, the president of the organization had personally requested it. Is your decision final?” Lira knew her boss. Arabella had no intention to play in business gatherings. She cancelled so many appointments and chose only those small-time gatherings or her own concert within the city. She didn’t want to gather so much fame and only showed her explicit talent mostly in small towns and selective events in Country Y but because of the internet, she still became famous and known in Country Y as the enchantress pianist.

A place where her new home is. Arabella would not bargain it for popularity. She was just so lucky to find a place where she had a good salary that could provide Adam’s necessities and also, she had Damien and Lira.

She smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. She might not be able to play with Celine for the rest of her life, but she had her new home and family.

It’s all that matters.

After she was convinced with her right decision, she went to Adam’s school to pick him up. Adam went out of the gate with the 3 bullied boys. Arabella was alarmed, but she smiled when she saw the 3 bullied boys followed Adam not to bully him again. They followed them because they were now friends and Adam became their leader.

Arabella shook her head and smiled at her little boy who was acting like a domineering adult. He was like a mini Bill Sky while he was folding his two little arms in front of him and his chin was up like a brave proud man.

“Mommy! Mommy!” Adam shouted excitedly.

“My baby!” She replied with a loving smile.

“I invited my 3 new friends in my birthday. Is that okay mommy?” Adam asked cutely.

“Hmmm… That’s okay. Let me just make some arrangements for them.” Arabella replied with a smile. They had to travel for 3 hours to reach the orphanage. With that, she needed to ask Damien to drive his own car and bring the 3 boys with him.

The night came for her concert. Dressed in a shining white gown, she entered the stage with a huge white piano in the center. The spotlight where focused on her and her white piano at the center. Seeing the enchantress pianist, everyone clapped. She first looked at the direction of Adam and Damien, who were waving at her then she started her first piece. With every piece, she was given a standing ovation.

The concert had successfully ended. The organizer gave her a bouquet of flowers in the center while she bowed to her audiences. She flipped the bouquet to see the message.

‘Congratulations! W.’

For 3 years now, she always got the same flowers after her concerts. It was the same flowers in her office arrived every morning with the sender, W. Those white roses arrived every time she had a concert or even, she performed in small events. It was obvious that W had put a great effort to send her flowers. Before, she asked Lira to trace it, but the name used in the courier was 'your avid fan' only so they just let go on the matter. For some reason tonight, holding the bouquet, it made her goosebumps. She didn’t want to encounter another lunatic fan again.

She felt something horrifying inside, but she managed to put up a good smile. Looking at Adam’s proud expression, Arabella smiled happily. She waved and bowed at the people while her smile was not leaving her face until one man from the audience had caught her eye. Then, all her expressions suddenly vanished.
