Tristan Ford’s POV07:00 am, Tuesday, 5th of July. My eyes fluttered open as I glanced at the ceiling above me. Despite already waking up, everything felt like a dream. A dream that I would rather wake up from than live in it. Looking at the alarm clock beside me, I took a deep breath before getting up from bed. I took a look at myself in the mirror and discovered that I had grown thin. Although it wasn’t much, my hair was dishevelled, and my eyes looked lacklustre. Even though I was still in shape, I paled in comparison to who I was two years ago. After freshening up, I was about to leave the house with my coat on and my black hat as I carried my briefcase. My face was void of any smile and I was just about to leave when I heard my name being called from the side. “Tristan…” a deep and intimidating voice resonated around the entire room. I might be powerful, but even I wouldn’t dare go against that voice or its owner. I shifted my gaze to the side, and I could see my

Always been a fan of loveless marriages, I do hope they slowly love and yearn for each other. Tristan was after his parents happiness, now it should be that of his newly wedded wife. Ride on author, I’m tripping

TWO

Adrianna Sterling’s POV 12:00 pm Tuesday, 5th of July. I wave of dizziness washed over my head, but I had to shake it off. I was tired but couldn’t afford to rest, not with my current responsibilities. I was cleaning the dishes being used in the White Rose restaurant and I widened my eyes to prevent myself from falling dizzy again. “Adrianna, the customers aren’t gonna eat with bare hands. You gotta hurry up.” I heard a voice call from the kitchen door, urging me to step up. I didn’t dawdle either and I hurried with my job. It wasn’t until six o’clock in the evening before I finally had my rest. Once the time was up, I left the restaurant and went straight to the city hospital. Dusk was setting and the night was a bit cold, but it didn’t matter to me. I have always lived my life in fear of losing the only person I have left in this world, my mother. That fear has been my driving force to keep me moving, even if my mother can no longer move. Because I know

THREE

Tristan’s POV10:45 pm Thursday, 7th of July. I could feel fatigue wash over my entire body, but I couldn’t afford to sleep. There was still so much to be done in the company and I couldn’t afford any time of rest. Enrique was already dealing with the assignment I gave him which means that he might not have much time to deal with official work. He didn’t complain though, but I couldn’t let the guy overwork himself. He’s my assistant, not my slave. Due to barely having any sleep last night, I decided to have breakfast at a regular restaurant. Just to get a coffee and some snacks that’ll keep me running for the day. After taking my seat, I looked around me. It had been a long time since I had been to joints like this. I’m either at the bar or home. If I needed doughnuts or burgers, I could always get someone to get them for me. Being gave me a familiar sense of nostalgia. “Good morning, Mister. What can I get you...” The soft voice of a lady attracted my attention, and I noti

FOUR

Adrianna’s POV 5 o’clock in the evening and I was already on my way to the hospital. I had done a whole day’s worth of work and I felt like I needed a shower, but I don’t really trust my body in that aspect. If I go home to take a shower, given the fatigue I was feeling, I will end up crashing and falling asleep. That’s the last thing I want to happen. I walked by the street while my mind was running through a thousand things at once. Most of which were calculations. I needed to make about ten thousand dollars in order to pay for my mother’s surgery. I currently have two thousand five hundred, a far cry from my goal. In terms of spending, I only take enough to make me survive, and there are no other kinds of unnecessary spending. I cut all my expenses as much as possible and I was even still in debt. But I don’t really care about that. Even if I am going to be in debt for the rest of my life, as long as my mother is going to live healthily, I don’t care. It was q

FIVE.

Tristan’s POV It was a bright morning, but to me, it was just another regular day filled with work, cries and nightmares. I was working on a laptop behind my desk when I suddenly heard a knock on my door. “Come in...” I permitted and Enrique walked into my office. He had a few papers in his hands, but his mood looked a bit serious, in contrast to his expression two days ago. I was quite curious as to what would make my ever-enthusiastic secretary so gloomy. He arrived before my desk and handed me the papers. “I’ve done what you asked of me sir,” he mentioned. I took the papers off his hands and went through the entire biography-looking description of a lady. “Adrianna Sterling, born on September 22nd, lives in Yellow-lane Street, Gundam City. Age twenty-six, six feet tall and... single.” I read out loud and after looking at the personal information, I decided to check her occupation and I was stunned. “Is she a machine?! Works part-time in Three restaurants and as a cl

SIX

Adrianna's pov I was still awestrucken by such an unusual request yet he appears to be so calm about it, "Why will he approach me of all people?" I kept asking myself. It's been a week since the incident and I couldn't help but wonder if he was in his right senses, Why can't he just get married rather than getting a contract marriage. I didn't think about it too much I had a lot of work to do while I still washing dishes during my shift at another restaurant, I got a call from my friend Kristana. "Hey Kristy" I mumbled while placing my phone on the right side of my ear, Using my shoulder as support to hold it in place while I work. "Anna!!" She squealed in glee, I could hear music from the background, "Having fun without me huh?" I roll my eyes it's not like I care, I don't even have time for myself not to talk of partying and having fun. "That's a joke right?, We both know you would never go out with me to have some fun, Anyways that's not why I called I'll be dro

SEVEN

Chapter Seven Tristan's pov I was really relieved when she called I had a hard time trying to find someone else, they didn't seem like the type of woman I wanted I really hope she doesn't change her mind again. I woke up early the next morning had my bath and got dressed in my expensive Armani suit, As I walk down the staircases I heard my parents arguing about something. I didn't bother listening to their conversation until I heard my name "If he doesn't bring a woman with him for our get-together party next week then he'll leave me no choice" I heard my father say to my mother. "He is a full grown man who can make choices for himself, I do not support your bringing in a wife for him let him decide for himself" My mother disapproves of his suggestion and that made me feel at ease. I didn't bother having breakfast I just walked out of the house heading for my car, I hopped in and dialed Adrianna's number while inserting the key into the ignition. She didn't pick up till aft

EIGHT

Chapter Eight Adrianna's pov I was still fast asleep when I heard my phone ringing and I thought it was my alarm, I groaned as glimmers of sunlight filled the room. I reached out to my phone without finding out who was calling so early in the morning "Hello?" It sounded like a question instead. "Change of plans meet me at the office in 15 minutes" I heard his cocky arrogant voice before I could reply he hung up on me "What an asshole, if he thinks I would be his obedient lapdog then he must be mistaken" I proceeded with my sweet sleep when I remembered he was also doing me a favor. I groaned getting of the bed sluggishly while heading for the bathroom, After having a cool shower I ransacked my tiny closet for a presentable dress I only found one. It was a wine color round neck gown my mom got it for me when I was still in college, it wasn't that pricey but it was more than precious to me I only wore it once during graduation. I picked it up and put it on before applying some

NINE

Chapter Nine Adrianna's povI was lead to a big bathtub filled with white fluid it looked a lot like milk. "This is the clarifying body milk bathtub and we have others like the mud bath tub and the oil bathtub, Which one would you like to try miss?", I was completely speechless the kind of lifestyle I watched in movies was right before me in reality, I wanted to scream so badly till my throat ache but I need to keep it together. That's right breathe in and out then I replied like any rich young lady would, "Which one do you recommend?" I said in a cold manner and they smiled at me looking pleased with my question little did I know I was going to pay for that later. "This one miss it's the best in the country" They hyped and I made a not so convince expression so they went on blabbering till I concurred. I was told to strip and soaked myself inside the milk for like twenty minutes, being a lady isn't that easy this was the longest boring minutes of my life. What's the need for

TEN

Chapter Ten Adrianna's pov I watched them drop their equipments on the sofa and bowed in unison, I asked them to sit and wait for me so I can eat dinner before leaving I can't be in a hurry while that jerk is sitting comfortably in his house. I prepared a short meal and ate to my satisfaction before turning my attention towards them, "Miss we have to wait a bit before dressing you up" The fashion stylist said and I gave her a confused look. "What do you mean?" I asked wondering if they knew what they were doing are they not in a hurry. "I don't want your figure to be ruined by that" She pointed at my stomach which had a slight bump and I scoffed in disbelief, "We'll wait till your food digest" She explained vaguely, I wasn't listening to her gibberish talks I signaled the make up artist. "Do you wanna wait too?" I asked them and they rushed to get their equipments I left the stylist in the living room taking the rest with me inside the room. We were done with the make up befo
