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

Chapter 478: Lonely Soul

Mark leaned his back on the backrest of his couch then he closed his eyes.

Maybe this is the perfect time to end his revenge for him to live a fresh start.

If Bill Sky would die, everything for him was going to be easy.

Money, connections, power, and everything he wanted.

Mark's memory brought him to where he saw her mother living him that day with her luggage.

It was the time she abandoned him.

The feeling was too nostalgic that he still felt it deep down in his heart.

It was very terrible.

He ran and chased the car where his mother riding but he failed to stop her.

He tripped and bruised his knees on the ground.

He cried out loud but no one heard him.

No one saw his pain.

Being abandoned by his own mother was the most painful in this world.

His mother who he clings to everything.

The person who cared and loved him the most.

Why did she need to abandon him?

Why did he need to go that day?

He had so many questions left unanswered until the present time.

Mark mourned and condemned himself for losing his mother at that time but no one was there for him.

It was only the old butler Hendrick who picked him up on the ground, wiped his bruised knees with his

white handkerchief, and gently assisted him to walk back to the mansion.

The old man was gentle and kind to him.

If it weren't for Mr. Hendrick, maybe he was not breathing a long time ago.

He must have given up and still, no one could figure it out as his presence was nothing important to

anyone.

Along with his heavy heart, more terrible memories flashed back at a quick pace.

There was one time, he cried at a very long table.

His heart was crippled and he didn't like to do anything but cry.

He was so lonely and he felt something was missing in his life.

So many things missing in his life but at that moment he felt missing the most important thing in his life.

A family...

A family he never had.

It was Christmas and the table was filled with delicious dishes. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Mark waited for his mom to come.

Maybe since it was Christmas, his mom would show up surprising him with a big Christmas present but

it didn't happen.

He never believed she died but every season, she didn't come to see him.

It made his heart hardened and dry.

Somehow, he started to wish for his father.

If it was really true that his mother died, then maybe his father would take charge of him.

Maybe his father would show up and spend the holidays with him perhaps but then this didn't happen

again.

This drew him to the conclusion that his mother and father didn't love him or care for him.

The only person who was there standing beside him was the old Hendrick.

At that time, he never touched any food and he went to sleep with an empty stomach and swollen eyes.

Mr. Hendrick was in his bedroom tapping his back for him to sleep.

All special occasions were always like that for Mark that was why he hated celebration.

He didn't attend his own graduation.

He didn't celebrate his birthdays as he felt his presence was just a curse to his family.

All his life, he felt alone, lonely, and abandoned.

No one knew his real surname was Sky because he used his mother's surname.

He never wanted to be a Sky in the first place.

At a very young age, he saw his father, Ed Sky for the first time and the last time in his office.

He was with his mother at that time.

It was their first introduction but he could never forget the anger in his dad's eyes staring at him.

His eyes were despising him and at that very moment, he wished to have another father.

A loving father and a father that was proud of him.

Mark grew up wishing to have a father that could support his endeavors and was proud of him.

It was that simple but then he could not fight his hatred toward his father's family, especially his brother,

Bill Sky.

For him, his father only loved and cherished his brother, Bill Sky while he was hidden away because

they didn't want their good reputation in society to be damaged.

It was unfair to Mark.

It was very unfair indeed.

This made him so angry.

He was enough of hiding away.

He was enough of following orders from the Sky.

It is time for him to show what he was capable of.

He is good.

Damn good and better than his brother, Bill.

He would show the people and the company that the hidden son is the best son and not Bill Sky.

It was purely revenge on his father.

He wanted to laugh at him for being proud only of Bill and not him.

His father abandoned him and didn't care for him at all.

Now he wondered why he had to acknowledge by giving his surname to him when he had no plan to

father him.

Well, it was always and remained a question in his mind.

Mark's life was tough as his memory brought him to where he lived in the street for a while and met

Greta as his protector.

Mark believed meeting Greta was fate.

A boy who had nothing and no one met a big girl who protected him all the way.

Even before, he was always thankful for Greta.

Greta was always there for him.

With his thoughts about Greta, Mark heaved a sigh then he opened his bloodshot eyes.

He sensed something different about Greta lately but he didn't want to conclude it.

He didn't want to think something bad of her because that was going to be very unfair to Greta.

Mark acknowledged her presence in his life is important and all she had done was for his own good.

He trusted Greta ever since.

Mark shook his head to get rid of his suspicion.

Then his eyes wandered around his huge mansion.

He didn't feel right.

He was missing someone.

The person who always stood up around the corner waiting for his order.

The person who was with him all throughout but because of Bill Sky, he was gone.

Mr. Hendrick was a good kind man.

He was with him and witnessed his cries.

That mansion would be never the same again without Mr. Hendrick.

It was empty.

So much empty and lonely.

Remembering Mr. Hendrick, Mark clenched his fists very hard.

The old man died alone in a very lonely cell.

From the start until the end, the old man didn't leave him.

He put himself in prison so he would not be convicted.

The old man knew that the police would be chasing him even though it was Greta's fault.

The investigation would go deepen until his other bad deeds would be busted.

Mr. Hendrick knew all his bad actions but he kept quiet and he never heard any word from him about

these.

The old man covered all his sins in exchange for his life.

Disheartened by the memory of Mr. Hendrick, Mark called up the senator.

"Markie boy, what is the reason for this calling, huh? Just be quick. I have a very important matter to

attain tonight." The senator was still full of himself but at this time, he was obviously in a hurry.

"Well, don't worry I didn't have any plan to talk to you that long," Mark replied. "Honestly, I don't like

you." Mark never liked the Senator. His plan was not to help him but to get something bigger.

All along, he knew that the senator would just use him to gain his personal advantage in the company.

Though Mark was young, he was not a gullible one.

He had the highest grade among all his classmates and got the top rank in his graduation.

Too bad he didn't attend the ceremony because no one was going to be with him at that said event only

his lonely soul.

"Oh, don't be like that boy! Can you just admit to yourself that you need me? Hehehe…" Though the

senator was in a hurry, he never missed messing up with Mark.

This boy was going to be his gate pass to enter the Sky Corporation.

"Tell me, what do you want, huh?" The senator was very interested in Mark's call as their last meeting

turned out bad.

The boy didn't want to cooperate with his plan.

His calling might be somewhat of a sign that he changed his mind.

"Do not touch my brother," Mark replied so seriously.

His voice was carrying a deep threat.

"Oh! Am I hearing love and care here? Hahaha!" The senator was obviously teasing Mark.

It was his forte to make him angry at the target.

"Shut up old man!" Mark immediately got pissed while on the other side, the old senator was quite

satisfied.

He really knew how to make the flame wider and the lion wilder.

The old senator grinned with Mark's anger over the phone.

"Okay... I will just listen to you, young boy." The senator was obviously moving.

Mark could hear a commotion on the other side.

If he was not mistaken, he was with his men.

"I will be the one to kill him." Mark sounded like he was giving a strict command.

"Oh! That's cool by the way! I like that! But when to do plan to do that?" The senator exclaimed

excitedly.

He would really love to see this but he had no time.

At this moment, he was going to hunt Trishia Meyer.

For the last time, he would finish the crazy woman as she dared to touch his daughter.

He would put an end to Trisha's life tonight and no one could stop him.

As for Bill Sky, his men would take care of him tonight.

He already ordered them to kill him before he could escape again.

Bill's luck should end tonight.

"I have my own time and no one could dictate me on that matter," Mark replied like a boss scolding his

servant in an irate tone.

"Oh no, that's not gonna happen, boy!" The senator was quick enough to refute.

He didn't like this young boy as well.

Never in his life that he was scolded by a young boy and never he would take an order from a young

boy.

"You see, your brother is the pain in the ass here. If you weren't too baby, we could just finish him off

very easily!" The senator roared pissed with Mark's attitude on talking to him.

On the other side, Mark was clenching his fist so hard that could hurt his own hand.

"Okay... okay... I apologize for that," The senator seemed to quickly regained his sanity thinking about

his plan.

At this time, he could not afford to fight with the only person he could use in achieving his plan.

"You know my temper is very bad just don't provoke it, boy. Well, here's the deal. I'm going to give you

a chance but like I said I am very impatient, I cannot wait too long. I want that Bill Sky to die tonight! So,

I am giving you just 1 and a half hours boy to kill him and after that, let my man do what they do best,

okay?" After knowing about Mark's identity, the senator lost his interest in Bill Sky.

He tried so many times to lure him but he failed many times also.

Bill Sky was no way to be deceived in all aspects.

The senator even tried to take the advantage of the bombing that happened during the Sky's party but

he failed again.

He tried to urge the shareholders to sell their shares but no one wanted to sell because they believed

that Bill Sky could pull it all through.

With his successful reputation, Bill Sky's stockholders had a high respect and trust in him.

With great anguish, the senator even flirted with Kelly Sky but too bad, she was not into him and chose

to disappear abroad than see him again.

Of all the things he had done but still, he could not enter the Sky Corporation, the senator was on the

brink of desperation. With Mark, he could not see any use in courting Bill Sky.

He was tired of it from the very beginning.

Bill Sky was always arrogant and very intimidating.

From the start, the senator was courting Bill to support his candidacy.

He also courted him whenever he needed a lot of money by using government projects but that wasn't

enough.

Bill was always aloof toward him and never he felt that the successful man was into him.

He had suspicions about him and if the senator happened not related to his late father, maybe Bill Sky

would not give any help to him.

Bill looked at him as a friend of his late father, Ed Sky but aside from that there was nothing.

The senator had worked mischievously to be a friend of Ed Sky but somehow, Ed put his boundaries.

The senator never got to be the closest friend.

Bill Sky and his father were the same.

They made the senator's life hard.

They were guarding their wealth so well.

With his thoughts, the senator grinned wickedly.

'Let's see how far you can guard your wealth, Bill Sky. How far you can guard when you are already

dead? Hehehe.'

The Senator was so excited with his thoughts and couldn't wait to see Bill Sky dead.

"I and half hours, boy. You kill him or my men will do and that will all happen tonight after one and a half

hours. That's all I can give you!" The senator said in a serious manner and paused for a while. "Your

time starts now! Hehehe..." The senator ended the call without waiting for Mark's reply.

Mark could still hear the senator's wicked laugh even though the call had already ended.

One and a half hours, he had to make a quick decision.

He should kill Bill Sky and not the senator's men.

Bill Sky disgraced him so many times.

He should be the one to kill his own brother.

It was about to kill him tonight.

But could he really kill a family?

The question in his mind was not to his liking.

He wasn't weak.

Mark quickly stood up.

He was going to get ready but when he passed Mr. Hendrick's room, he paused.

He didn't know but there was some kind of force that wanted him to enter the old butler's room.

His feet were beginning to walk in the room's direction.

He knew the old man would not judge him but he always wanted him to do good.

And killing his brother would not be to Mr. Hendricks' liking.

Inside the old butler's room, "I'm sorry old man, but I need to kill him." Mark uttered.

He was about to go away when he accidentally tripped something on a shelf and fell to the floor.
