You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 109

Though her place was a bit chaotic, but she never encountered any danger for more than 1 year of stay in her apartment. This area was a little far from the city, but it catered to her budget. It was crowded with low-income workers from the city as this catered lots of small rooms at a reasonable price.

Lira was alarmed. She walked fast as she could, but one man blocked her way.

“Where do you think you are going my lady? Hehehe.” A man who blocked her cooed slightly tilted his head and spread his arms like he was ready to catch her.

Lira didn’t know what to do. Beads of cold sweats appeared on her forehead. Her knees softened instantly. She took a step back instinctively, but she could feel another evil eye was staring at her back. Stopping in the middle, she looked around with her trembling body and found out she was surrounded by 3 men. She almost lost her balance as she wanted to faint. Her face had turned pale as she felt a great danger was coming to her. There was only one thing on her mind- Run.

She wanted to, she really wanted to but her knees didn’t want to stop shivering. She could not even lift one foot from the ground. Her heart was thumping fast nervously.

With a shaking hand, she got her phone and lifted it in the air. “Go away, or I will the police!” She said trying to be tough, but deep inside, she was almost hopeless.

“Hahahaha!” The three men laughed at the same time. They were very entertained by her.

“We like tough girls! Boys, get her. I am very curious what tough girls taste like.” The man in front of her ordered.

“Help!” Lira screamed, but it seemed her word was stuck only in her throat.

“Help!” She ran off screaming but one man had caught her. Lira struggled for her survival, but the man was very strong. He grabbed her collar and lifted her higher. “Where do you think you’re going?”

She couldn’t breathe. Her neck was choked by the man and her head lost its oxygen that she started to feel dizzy. Lira never thought this would happen to her. She began to question her fate at this moment.

Was this the reason why she had been given a chance to be with Damien tonight?

Was this the reason she had given a chance to embrace him?

Is she gonna die tonight?

She thought death was cruel. She still had many things she wanted. She didn’t even have a chance to kiss Damien.

How could she die without tasting his lips? Gathering all her strength left, she struggled again, but again, it was to no avail.

In just a quick minute, someone attacked the man from behind. The man was directly shoved to the ground with an aching expression. Lira was pushed back which made her lose her balance, but she didn’t fall to the ground. Someone had caught her waist in time. She was immediately bumped into the man’s hard chest. Smelling his scent, she already knew who’s her savior again.

Damien.

“You! Man! Get your own girl. Do not snatch our meat for tonight.” One of the three guys sounded behind them panting. They looked around and they saw the two men running towards them. Lira was alarmed and she quickly held Damien’s hand. She ran while dragging Damien on his hand. It’s safer for them to run rather than fighting the three savage men.

Damien didn’t refuse to run, but he kicked first the other man that struggled to get up from the ground. The man had pushed back again to the ground with an impactful sound.

“We will get you!” A man who was relentlessly running behind them shouted with full of rage.

Lira was very familiar with her area and every direction, but the guys seemed to be also familiar with the area. They were tailing them very closely. In the dark corner, Damien stopped. Lira was confused as she dragged his hand, but this time Damien pulled her hand. They quickly hid in a concrete post. Damien closed the gap between their bodies. He was almost hugging her as their two bodies needed to be covered by the slim concrete post. Though it’s dark, their silhouette could be easily seen.

“Where are they?” The man sounded angry.

“Boss, I think they had escaped.” The other man replied.

“No! It can’t be! Find them!” The bossy man ordered.

Lira felt his warmth breathing under her earlobe. They were both panting from running.

“Shhh…” Damien sounded quiet.

Lira hugged him instinctively. In his arms, she found her mind, relax and safe. Damien felt her body was shivering, so he stroked her back to calm her. At first, he was hesitant but when he felt Lira was already crying, he couldn’t bear to pacify the girl in his arms.

“Shhh…Don’t make a sound.” Damien tapped her shoulder and Lira hugged her so tight. Damien allowed her for the sake of her relief.

“Boss, we can’t find them.” A man reported.

“AHhhhh!” Someone screamed. It seemed his Boss hit him.

“You all useless! Our meat was taken by another man! Idiots!” The boss was screaming so mad.

“Let’s go back some other time. That girl was living here. We can taste that woman some other time. Surely that time she had no escape!” The boss commented and the sound of their steps faded.

Lira heaved a sigh of relief, but she was not ready to loosen her hug to Damien.

“Lira, It’s okay now. You can let go of me.” Damien said plainly, but he was uncomfortable.

His words made Lira’s heart clenched. She didn’t want to let go of her relief, but she had to.

Why so soon? How she wished she could stay with his hug forever.

She couldn’t help wishing more trouble for her to have a reason to hug him that tight again.

“I…I am sorry.” Lira uttered with her cheeks boiling heat and she let go of Damien.

“Let’s go.” Instead of replying, Damien sounded holding her hand.

“Where are we going? This is not the way to my house.” With a puzzled look, Lira stopped for a while.
