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

Chapter 143: Head-Turners

At Ming's residence, gents and muses were dressed glamorously for the party. It was themed for

glittered dresses and black suits. One could easily tell the main purpose of the celebration was the

merge of the two influential families in the business and not the marriage alone.

“Guests, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Kenley, our dearest,

Eunice Ming and Gab Kenley.” The host of the program hyperactively announced the arrival of the

soon-to-be couple.

Eunice Ming was wearing a white halter-fitted long dress embellished with tiny diamonds that made her

dress sparkle while Gab was wearing a black tuxedo. They were the center of attraction at the party

until Bill Sky strode inside with Trishia Meyer glued in his arm. Everyone stopped and all eyes were

landed on them.

Trishia was wearing a seductive deep V-neck backless red long gown embellished with shiny sequins.

Her dress perfectly embraced her body while Bill was also wearing a black tuxedo. Trishia always

wanted to get people’s attention that’s why she handpicked everything from the color and style of her

dress, cosmetics up to her big diamond dangling earrings and accessories. She looked like a sweet

seductive goddess at the party and she was very proud of herself seeing the crowd appreciate her

masterpiece except for the man beside him.

The party was covered by different media from the entrance and inside the party.

Bill and Trishia strode towards Eunice and Gab.

“Congratulations!” Trishia melodiously said to Eunice as she hugged her to show that they were

already a family. Eunice was a bit stunned as she never met Trishia in person before and she was

acting that they were so close already.

Bill didn’t say anything as he strode closer to his cousin, Gab, and tapped his shoulder twice while the

other hand was in his pocket.

All cameras and eyes were landed on them until two beautiful women strode dramatically and elegantly

inside the room.

Farrah was wearing a tube-fitted peplum white long dress embellished with glittered beads while

Arabella was wearing a red fitted off-shoulder tulle long gown that also shimmered due to its shiny

beads. The two newcomers were extremely head turners.

“Who are they?”

“Are they actresses? Models perhaps?”

“Wow! Such beautiful creatures!”

“Is it just a coincidence that they have the same color of dresses with Eunice and Trishia?”

“Who’s your beat?”

“Who’s prettier?”

“Who’s more elegant?”

“Interesting!”

The guest started creating clamors around as their eyes were entertained by the four beautiful girls

who were wearing the same color of dresses. From the crowd, no one wore red and white except them.

As they walked gracefully in front of the crowd, Farrah and Arabella stopped in the middle. At this

moment, all eyes and cameras landed on them including Trishia, Eunice, Gab, and Bill.

It seemed the air suddenly filled with suspense. Gab’s eyes pierced at Farrah while Bill’s eyes fixated

on Arabella. Their eyes met.

The air suddenly filled with suspense. Shocked and intensified by Arabella’s presence, Trishia’s eyes

widened.

‘She’s back!’

Trishia felt nervous and angry at the same time especially since Bill’s eyes were on her. She dressed

up her best tonight for Bill but her never gave her that kind of magnetic look like he was doing with

Arabella. Full of intense rage, Trishia clenched her fists and gritted her teeth while looking at Arabella

with murderous eyes.

Eunice at the same time looked at Gab and Farrah staring at each other as she quickly held his arm to

remind him of the main purpose of their wedding. Kenly’s Company was on the brink of bankruptcy so

in order to save the family’s company, Gab agreed to marry Eunice but seeing Farrah again, Gab just

wanted to run and hugged her tightly. He wanted to run away from the crowd and leave everything

behind. He just wanted to be with his wife, Farrah.

Gab felt the urge to follow his heart, grabbed Farrah, and leave everything but Eunice was quick to

grab his hand too.

“Don’t forget about your family’s company.” Eunice smiled and whispered at Gab that made him stay in

his position.

Meanwhile, Farrah’s heart was clenched hard seeing the sweet scene in her sight. She just thought

Gab would run to her upon seeing her but her expectation was far from reality. Seeing Farrah’s

disheartened expression, Arabella held Farrah’s arm to comfort her.

Then she remembered how they get there.

“Let’s go to the party,” Arabella said to her friend as she could not bear to see Farrah broken-hearted.

“But, how?” Farrah asked puzzled and hopeless.

“No. You can’t walk properly. How about your legs?” Damien strongly refuted.

“I can do it. I can bear all the pain in the world for Farrah.” Arabella answered with strong determination

and had no chance of backing out.

In the middle of their conversation, Farrah’s phone rang.

“Yes.” She answered quickly.

“Young madame, there’s an invitation arrived here just now in your name.” Their house servant called

to report it.

“Got it.” Without asking more questions about the invitation, Farrah hung up. It seemed heaven was

making a way for their plan to be implemented.

“To our house now,” Without wasting any second, Farrah ordered.

Damien quickly started the engine and drove away.

Upon seeing the invitation, Farrah was right. It’s an invitation to Gab’s party. One invitation for 2 people

only.

“No! You can’t go Arabella.” Damien was almost begging at her. “Since they send you an invitation, that

means it’s a scheme. It’s a trap!” Damien added worriedly as he spoke to Farrah. He obviously didn’t

want Arabella to be dragged with Farrah’s personal matter.

“I know. But I would rather be in that trap just to see him again.” Farrah answered Damien with tears

starting to assemble in her eyes.

“Then what if you don’t see him?” Damien asked with an annoyed expression as he didn’t want them to

go.

“Then I will find him,” Farrah answered him firmly.

“Damien. Please trust me on this. We need your support. Okay?” Arabella butted in as the irritation in

their tones was already palpable.

Damien didn’t answer instead, he heaved a deep sigh of frustration. Then he strode out to get some

fresh air.

“He’s okay. Don’t mind him. Now, it’s time to dress up for the party.” Arabella announced putting some

hope in her tone.

Farrah held her hand and smiled then they went to Farrah’s room.

Without any choice, Damien drove them to the party’s venue and waited for them outside.

Luckily, Arabella managed to cover her sneakers with her long tulle dress. With all her best, she tried to

walk properly though she felt a cold sweat coming to her due to the tingling pain she felt in her right leg.

Despite the pain, she still managed to smile that captured almost everyone’s heart of the crowd.

“May I call on again the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Kenley on stage.” The MC requested after getting the

order from Mrs. Kenley. She didn't expect that Farrah had the guts to show up tonight.

Eunice grabbed and dragged the man beside him who had no intention to move. Felling the pressure of

Eunice’s grip, Gab took away his eyes from Farrah and followed Eunice.

When the couple was on the stage, a roar and clapping of hands resonated in the room. The

celebration became livelier when their parents joined them on the stage.

Seeing Gab being hugged by Eunice’s mother, Farrah was like smashed into pieces. Her hands were

cold and shaking as she tried her best not to break down. She already knew Mrs. Kenly sent her the

invitation to witness everything. To show her that she had no space in Gab’s life and Eunice was the

best match for him.

Arabella didn’t leave her side as she knew her friend was hurting inside.

“Do you still want to stay here?” Arabella whispered at Farrah worriedly.

“I’m okay. Let’s stay for a while.” Farrah answered coolly but her eyes were flushed red forcing herself

not to cry.

Arabella nodded. Her eyes were avoiding Bill and Trishia but coincidentally when she looked in front

Bill was still staring at her even Trishia was beside him. She quickly took away her eyes and averted

her gaze to the scene on the stage.

Meanwhile, since the presence of Arabella, Trishia had no cool anymore. She was uneasy as she kept

on drinking the wine in front of her. She couldn’t believe that Arabella went back to the city. Could it be

that the girl in Bill’s office and the hospital is her? Her presence alone possessed a wave of great threat

to her that made her insane.

After greeting their parents, Gab and Eunice stayed standing in the middle of the stage while their

parents were seated behind a long banquet table.

“Now, we may call the closest cousin of Mr. Kenley to give his wishes to the couple, Mr. Bill Sky.” The

MC requested.

Bill calmly strode forward elegantly leaving Trishia at the table. Everyone gave him an outstanding

ovation. Bill was very elegant and stunning in his suit. He looked like a handsome king. Without any

effort and expression, he walked with a strong domineering demeanor. By just looking at him, one

could easily say that he’s very rich and an accomplished man.

At this time, Farrah looked at Arabella whose eyes were wandering somewhere. She was obviously

avoiding seeing the handsome man on the stage.

“Are you okay?” They switched turns. Farrah was the one who’s asking her now.

“Hmmm..” Arabella answered with a nod and a heavy breath. She didn’t expect that after she escaped

from him, she would see him again that instant. If not for Farrah, she would do everything not to see

him again. She knew, them attending the party was very risky but she could not bear to just leave

Farrah with her matter when Farrah was there for her always lending her a helping hand.

Bill got the mic and stood beside his cousin. Girls in the crowd giggled seeing two handsome gods on

the stage. Bill looked at Gab whose expression was very helpless. Then he tapped Gab’s shoulder and

nodded at him.

“Cheer up man!” Bill jokingly said to his cousin.

Hearing Bill’s words the crowd chuckled then when the silence filled the air again, Bill continued with

his speech.

“I am not here to congratulate my cousin.” Bill’s tone became serious that made everyone puzzled.

“I am here to announce that I am going to tear down Ming’s Group if this wedding will continue,” Bill

announced with a powerful overbearing tone. He was arrogantly handsome on stage.

Hearing Bill’s statement, the crowd froze to their spots. It seemed the time had stopped as they were

shocked and still trying to absorb every word he said. They never expected that Bill would release such

a minacious statement. The clicking of cameras was heard redundantly as the media would never miss

such kind of statement from the richest and most influential man in the business.

Farrah held Arabella’s hand as she had not seen it coming while Arabella’s heart skipped a bit.

“Bill, what are you doing?” Mrs. Kenley stood up quickly as she was alerted by Bill’s words.

“What?” At the same time, Eunice’s father and her mother stood up angry but threatened by Bill. Who

will not be scared of Bill Sky? They knew how capable he was to make everything happen.

He was more than capable!

Bill looked at Mrs. Kenley and Eunice’s parents then he raised his hand signed them to sit back on their

seats.

“Mr. Sky, what are you doing?” Eunice was rattled as her grip on Gab’s arm tightened.

Bill didn’t reply to her instead he gave her a smirk. Then he strode towards Gab.

“What are you waiting for?” Bill whispered.

Gab looked at him with a smile and tapped Bill’s shoulder as he said, “Thanks, man!” Gab took away

Eunice's hand from his arm.

“Sorry, I can’t marry you.” Gab looked at Eunice with sincerity then ran away without waiting for her

reply.

“This party is over,” Bill announced then quickly exited the stage handing the mic back to the MC.

The crowd was left puzzled and in awe. Trying to get more clarifications and scopes, media were

intensified and the crowd became a mess.

Quickly, Gab grabbed Farrah and quickly strode away but 6 men block their way preventing them to

leave but Bill’s men came to rescue them.

Arabella was left in the middle of the crowd. She didn’t blame Farrah for leaving her as the situation

was so sudden and uncontrollable.

She tried to squeeze herself into the busy crowd to exit the room but someone accidentally pushed her. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She was about to fall but a strong hand grabbed her waist before she completely shoved to the ground.

Looking at her savior, Arabella's eyes widened.
