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

Chapter 481: End Of Friendship

"Greta looked at me, huh!?... I'm Mark. I'm your friend. Now, please let go of that gun... Will you?" Mark

was asking her nicely.

Saving Bill wasn't only his intention but also saving his friend, Greta.

Though he felt very betrayed by her, Mark couldn't stay angry with her knowing that he took a big part

of Greta's hell.

He could not just let himself escape from the responsibility.

He believed that he could still convince her as they had been together for a long time and they got

good memories together way back in the slum and in the present time.

They were inseparable before.

Their friendship was proven with time.

Greta was his protector in the slum and through everything they had been through, they always had

each other's back.

"No... I can't!" With a strong refusal in her expression, Greta refuted.

Her opposing expression was greatly shown on her face and one could easily say that they have gotten

to opposite sides.

"What do you mean?" Now, Mark wanted to confront her to clear some things between them.

He was trying his best to hold his temper but at the same time, he wanted to explode.

Mark tried his best to understand Greta's betrayal but he also wanted to see and hear from Greta that

she could really do that to him.

It would greatly help his situation right now.

Mark somehow wanted to believe that other than money, she had another reason for this but seeing

the surreal wickedness in her eyes, Mark already knew that they had gotten a different separate way.

" What do I mean? Hahaha!" Greta just repeated his words laughing mockingly. " You see Mark, I've

been with you all throughout and yet you never believed in me!" Greta roared mockingly. "Well… I

thought you can help me go to the highest... the richest we can be... together!" Greta screamed her

disappointment.

Her face was flustered due to her surging emotions.

From what she could see, Mark was already on the different without him telling her.

"Greta, listen to me! Look at me! We... we can still do that... together... Okay?" Mark was just trying to

pacify Greta who was now completely frantic.

She was still pointing her gun at Bill who was unconscious at the moment.

Mark just arrived at a perfect time before she could kill him.

"For the longest time, we had known each other, I know what you are trying to do and you can't deceive

me! You are here not to kill this man but save him! Are you insane? We planned this for a very long

time! Mark, this is it! If he dies, you can have the position! You can have everything he has! We… we

will not hide anymore! We are going to rule this city together! Isn't that what we wanted for a very long

time?" Greta's eyeballs were bulging due to intense annoyance and disappointment.

"He… This man isn't my real brother." Mark was holding his temper as he seriously responded to her.

This news was like a bomb to Greta.

Her expression was shattered in a terrible way.

Then she laughed softly.

The laugh grew louder and louder until it resonated in the huge room.

The rest of the senator's men were standing as their audience inside the room.

They were all alerted with their guns.

Hearing Mark, Greta frowned deeply.

It seemed she was not satisfied with Mark's answer causing her in disbelief.

"What? What are you saying?" She stopped laughing and looked at Mark seriously like she was

studying his stern expression.

She was merely stunned but doubtful.

Obviously, she was thinking that Mark was deceiving her at this point.

"Yes, Greta! Yes! Bill Sky is not my real brother!" Mark confessed with a strong convincing and firm

tone.

"Nah… you're just kidding me, right?" Greta smirked and released a doubtful smile.

With a serious glare, Mark looked at Greta.

Greta seemed to quickly get the message but still wanted to believe things she was hearing now

weren't real.

Of course, she put all her hopes in Mark but then just like that it all fails.

"Okay… okay…" Greta was still not putting her gun down.

She smirked at Mark as her eyes were filled with annoyance.

"Then… the more we kill him because we will not be needing him anymore, right?" Greta sounded and

held her gun firmly acting like she was going to pull the trigger.

"No!" Mark quickly refuted. "You can't kill him because he is not an enemy, Greta. Just like you, he is

my protector too!" Mark explained calmly trying to get Greta's side. "It's a long story but he is not my

real brother and yet he helped me make up my future. He gave all the chances he could offer, Greta.

You can't kill him, okay? Trust me on this…" Mark tried his best to convince Greta.

"Let's say you are telling the truth, huh?!? Then, what's going to be now?! Our plan?! Our money?!

How are we going to have limitless money and power, huh?!" Greta replied annoyingly.

"Greta, let's stop this! Stop the killing. Maybe this is the right time for us to stop and start a good life.

Let's enjoy what life has to offer us." Mark was sincere. This is what he wanted for both of them.

He was young and got a bright future ahead of him if he only used his smartness for a good purpose.

Mark was a top-notch engineer and even though he was still studying, companies were lining up to get

him.

They were willing to pay him the highest salary depending on his demand but because he was focused

on his revenge, he let go of many good opportunities.

Now, Mark realized that he could still continue his life in a good way, and even without the help of Bill,

he could go along by himself.

Of course, he would not abandon Greta.

He would support her until she got herself a good decent job.

"No!!!" Greta roared angrily.

She could not accept his words.

"It's easy for you to say because you have a good education, a mansion, and money plus this man,"

Greta pointed the nozzle of her gun closer to Bill's head. "But… I don't have any! I cannot go back to

being poor!!! So, this man has to die now!" She added frantically.

"You have all the chances! You have everything and I have nothing!" Greta was desperate as her

disappointment knocked her down.

All her hopes to become rich were instantly brought to waste.

When all she thought was that they were getting so close to their plan and yet everything was just like a

ploy.

She felt the world was playing a trick on her.

Greta was so frustrated that this happened in just a snap.

"Trust me, Greta. I will not abandon you. I believe that there are good things reserved for us in the

future. Let's work decently, okay? No more killings!" For the sake of their friendship, Mark could not This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

give up on her. The reason was simply that Greta came into his life when he needed someone the

most.

When he felt everyone around him abandoned him, she came and stay.

Then she became like his strong concrete wall protecting him at his weakest until he learned to be

strong and stronger.

"No... No... no!!!" Greta exclaimed while shaking her head. "I will not go back to being poor! If you can't

make me rich, then you are no use to me!" Greta met Mark's serious eyes.

Her eyes were furious and very determined to kill.

Mark could see the same eyes while she killed Mr. Hendrick.

Her eyes were killers like she didn't know him anymore.

Mark studied her for a while then he smirked.

"So this is how you killed, Mr. Hendrick, huh?" Mark seemed to blow his temper at her remembering the

terrible death of his old butler.

Greta was stunned that he knew about it.

Again, it was a plan to make Mark angry with Bill and he would agree to kill him.

It was the senator's idea back then.

Well now, it didn't matter anymore.

"Yeah... I did it! I killed your beloved butler! But blame it too yourself!!!" She yelled. "Why? Because I

did it for you!"She paused.

"That old butler would just be a hindrance to you and our plan. So, well... I just did what I was told! "

She laughed softly.

There was no conscience traced from her and not even a single remorse in her eyes.

Mark was very angry at her but still, he didn't want to give up on her.

Mr. Hendrick and Greta were the people in his life who he wanted to protect and take care just like what

they did for him.

It was just right for him to do that because he valued their presence in his life even though they were

complete strangers to him before.

Maybe because they were there when he was all alone and lonely and through times, he was getting

used to them getting around him every day.

Thinking about them before, there was great disappointment shown on his face.

It seemed that he expected something more from Greta.

He never did think that Greta would betray him and abandon him like this.

"So..." With a low voice, Mark uttered disheartened at Greta.

"What about our friendship? Is it nothing to you?" Mark asked eager to confirm the real situation.

Since they had been together for a long time, he was hoping that Greta was just having a hard time

these days that was why she uttered those words.

He was giving her the benefit of the doubt but Greta didn't care anymore.

She smirked with a face full of sarcasm.

"Friendship??? Hahaha!" She laughed the loudest like she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Screw that friendship, Mark!!!" She spat on the floor as she screamed arrogantly. "Do you think, I need

that in my life? It cannot make me rich! I cannot secure my future on that!" Greta was yelling

tremendously. "I need money! I love money! That's the only thing I want in this world nothing else!" She

added.

"Greta, me... you... we are inseparable, right? Fate led you to me and me to you... Don't forget the

friendship we built through time." He would lie if he would tell that he was not affected by Greta's

mocking. He couldn't just give up on her easily.

"Fate?..." Greta laughed softly again. " It is not fate!" She answered with emphasis and loudly. "Mark, I

make my own fate and I succeed!" Greta smiled triumphantly. "It's me who brought myself to you. It is

all me!" She added with her wicked smile. "You see, I was eyeing you ever since. I knew you are rich

and I am right. So, here I am! I make you trust me." Greta confessed proudly.

Hearing about this, Mark was shocked and couldn't believe it.

He never expect Greta just played tricks on him from the beginning.

He thought everything she showed to him was real but the reality about Greta was all lie.

She stayed because of what he could give.

She stepped in his life because she knew that he is rich.

Mark's heart was clenched hard.

He felt great disappointment.

Their friendship was just a lie.

She is a lie and the person he hated the most turned out to be the person who truly cares for him.

Mark rested his case.

Greta was not going to be with him anymore and he didn't want her in his life anymore after hearing her

confession.

He felt like a fool.

Besides, she already chose her side and she chose money over their friendship.

"I will forget everything that you are telling me now just release him." Mark's voice was stern and cold.

His tone carried a serious threat.

"What can you do, Mark? Look! I have men over there!" She flipped her head in her men's direction

and back.

Mark looked at her blankly.

Without any fear traced in his expression, Mark moved closer to Greta.

Greta was stunned but she held her ground.

She didn't move and she hardened her grip on her gun determined to shoot Bill.

Mark could not change her mind.

She will kill Bill Sky.

Mark quickly held the tip of Greta's gun and guided the nozzle to his forehead.

His eyes were deeply serious meeting Greta's doubtful eyes.

"This is the end of our friendship, Greta. Kill me instead!" Mark ordered at her yelling.

Greta was completely dumbfounded.
