A Contracted Affair. 107
Chapter 107 Adriana pov Listening to Athe way Tristan was talking almost made me fold, I somehow wanted to hear what he has to say, I wanted to see his sincerity and if I can try and trust him. But at the same time I want to be alone, I need to think about everything very well and having that conversation with him is going to distract me, that's what I was trying to avoid. I got to the room and packed my stuffs because apparently Tristan returned to pick me up. While we were heading back home everything seemed a little awkward, he wasn't saying anything to me and I was also very quiet. He obviously decided to respect my decision without putting up a fight which made me unhappy. I expected him to say something to me. We finally got to the house and he helped me out of the car because I was still feeling a little weak to do something on my own. “Thanks.” I said to him, it felt like we were getting to know each other all over again, especially with the honorifics. It felt a little

Chapter 108 Adriana pov “It's good.” I said to him and smiled. Tristan stated at me for a while before letting out a cute and soft smile. “Thanks for finally agreeing to gear me out.” Tristan said to me looking a little very relieved, it seemed like he had been very bothered all these while I revised to speak to him. Tristan told me everything that happened that day and how he's yet to remember what happened after he lost consciousness. It seemed like Lyla was more hard working than I ever imagined. After hearibg everything I decided on what to do. “We haven't made videos in a while.” I said to Trustan and decides to make so much videos with him. I didn't know what I was going to do with so much videos, but I just knew I wanted to make them and feel satisfied. “Let's have breakfast.” Tristan said to me looking more excited than he was earlier. Earlier he was acting too formal but now he seemed to be talking like we have really put everything behind imus, because of my baby, d

Chapter 109 Tristan pov When Adriana dropped the envelope on the dinning, I stopped breathing for some minutes, I was hoping it was some kind of game she was playing because the first thing that cake to my kind is that she was trying to end the marriage, though I was going to use the contract to stop her, but that may lead to a serious misunderstanding. I couldn't say anything to her and I could be luck up the envelope from the dining, I wanted to stop by mom from picking it up too because I was blt ready to know what the content would be. It looked a little too late for for a divorce paper to fit in that's why I was still a little hopeful that it might be a diverse paper, rather it might be something I don't expect it to be. The moment my mom ilebed it I noticed it was not a divorce paper, I was finally able to breath well. I was not curious to know what kind of paper it was, it seemed like a doctor report paper, I stared at Adriana she noticed she actually looked very pale and

Chapter 110 Adriana pov“Wow, I never imagined you’ll still want to meet with me after everything that has happened, you should know when to give up.” Lyla said to me, I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard what she said and how sure she was that I’ll be in hiding or I would be having issues with Tristan now.“You are so good with what you do.” I said to her and started laughing again. I can’t believe she was thinking I will still be sulking over what has happened already. Anyways I would have if I had not thought very well before taking a decision.“What are you talking about?” I could tell her smiles were slowly fading as she heard what I said. After having some conversations with Lyla I got to know that she’s the type of person that is easily triggered by words and it’s easy to get her to say what you want to hear.“You sent the message, then you thought after I see the message I’ll be too pissed and decide to leave Tristan, and after that Tristan will come running to you and tell

Chapter 111 Adriana povI clenched my teeth angrily the moment I heard the question Tristan asked me because I know it’s not his fault, everything was done by Lyla and now that I know the truth I’m not going to stress him to start explaining things to me.“You don’t have to, I know what’s going on.” I said to him trying to assure him that I have everything under control, but Tristan was finding it hard to trust what I say, from the way he sounded I could already tell that he was very worried about what my thoughts just had been when I saw the pictures.“You sound like this is even more scary.” He said to me and we both laughed. I already met with Lyla so I know what the whole truth is now. She’s trying to tell the world that she can always have Tristan back whenever she feels like.“You really don’t have to worry, I know this is all Lyla’s doing.” I said to him trying my best to assure him that I’m not mad at him and I have everything under control, though he sounded like he was fina

Chapter 112Tristan povI heard that Adriana was rushed to the hospital and I had to leave the board meeting and rush down to the hospital, I don’t understand what’s going on, when I was leaving the house she was perfectly okay, why did she pass out all of a sudden.I increased my car speed and drove to the hospital. The moment i got to the hospital I headed right to the vip room where my family uses and there I saw Adriana laying on the bed. She looked really pale, this is the same way she looked the last time too.“What happened mom, how did she fall unconscious?” I asked my mom to tell me everything because it wasn’t clear to me, she was just fine when I was leaving the house this morning so why this all of a sudden.My mom explained everything to me and said that the doctor will come and tell us what’s going on, for now she’s still trying to examine the result and know what’s really going on.“This same thing happened the last time.” I said and walked closer to her as she was layin

Tristan's POV I couldn’t help but think about how she will feel when we tell her about what the doctor said.“We can’t tell her what the doctor just said.” My mom said to us, she was so worried about Adriana that I could see it from the way she was looking at Adriana.“Yes, we can’t tell her anything yet, she needs to wake up and become the bubbly Adriana we all know, we’ll just try to avoid stressing her and make sure she doesn't find out about what the doctor said.” My dad said to us. I noticed the tears coming out of Adriana’s eyes so I could tell she was awake.I placed my hand on hers and noticed she was squeezing it too tight.“You don’t have to hide it in, just cry it out and you’ll feel better.” I said to her while rubbing her hand lovingly. After hearing what I said Adriana started crying out. Mom and dad were sad to find out that she knew what the truth was all along.“She wasn’t sleeping.” My mom said almost in a whisper. Adriana cried out so much that I had to hug her.“

Chapter 114 Lyla povI can’t believe that I was already losing to those two, they have turned me into a pawn that they can talk to anyhow they like and anytime they want. The last conversation I had with Tristan hurt me so much that I really wanted to punch him in the face so that he could feel the same pain I was feeling.Earlier today I met with Doctor Alice, she is my very good friend and we became friends when I was married to Tristan.“It’s been a while.” We said to each other with a smile on our faces. She liked me because I was calm and sweet and I’m going to be the same way here too, I’m going to be calm and sweet in her presence.“I was on Coma for years and I missed out on a lot of fun and even my husband. I said in a very low and pitiful tone, then I decided to start acting emotional so that I can gain her pity before saying what I want to say to her.“I’m sorry, it’s just that life has been really hard on me.” I said to her and wiped my tears. Doctor Alice felt pity toward

It has been a rough time for me and I felt that was my punishment for not being a good daughter. I Knocked on the door twice before my mom finally opened the door. We both stood staring at each other for a while as year's welled down my eyes, even though I struggled not to let it fall, it was beyond my power, its not something I can do. “Look at my baby girl.” My mom said to me and hugged me, I don’t know maybe she was pretending not to know what’s going on or she was truly not aware of everything. I carried my boxes inside the house and sat on the couch. Living in a mansion 7months made me see my house differently, that’s why the rich never live in such apartment it’ll

Chapter 121Lyla povI never knew that things would be so easy for me to be. I always dreamt of a time when things would go so smoothly for me, I keep telling Tristan that the heavens wants us to get her. I hope this will prove to him that I was right after all.I heard from the doctor that the complication was too much and she must not be able to make it out alive so he had to pick between the two. I was a little hurt because Tristan picked her to survive. If he had let her die, things would have been a lot more easier. Just when I thought the fun was over I got the news last night that Adriana left the house, she said her final goodbye when the family was having dinner. I was so happy by the news that I didn't know what to do had how to express my joy so I ended up throwing myself a party. “Today will be such a good day.” I muttered to jyseif with a glass of wine with me, I found myself missing Diego, he would have been here with me celebrating my wins but he just had to go and be

Chapter 120Tristan povThe whole world finally got to know that Adriana and I had a Contract marriage but they are yet to know the things Lyla also did that's why they're quick to judge me. I told Adriana everything and she also saw the bashing going on, she had lots of hate messages that made her deactivate her accounts. But in yet to know what's on her mind and what she has concluded on doing.We haven't seen each other for two days since the news has been trending, I decided to give her space so that she can think clearly and know what decision to take, I'm not going to force her into doing something she's not interested in doing. My mom and dad has also been avoiding both of us, they no longer treat Adriana with love like they used to because they feel betrayed and fooled. I never knew things will get to this stage. It was time for dinner, I looked up several times but Adriana never came down for dinner, she's been like that since the news got out. Surprisingly my parents agre

Chapter 119Tristan povI was in the kitchen making myself coffee when I heard my phone ring, surprisingly it was my P.A.“Why is he calling? How didn't I tell him I want to stay away from work for a while?” I hesitated before I finally picked his call. “Why are you?” I was about to vent when I heard what he said to me. “What are you talking about?” I asked to confirm if what I heard was correct or I was already hearing things. I was left dumbfounded when he confirmed what he said to me, I can't believe Lyla went through my belongings when she was here. “I'll go see how things are on the internet.” I said to him and ended the call. I felt like my heart was sinking just thinking about what will happen after the news has been exposed. Then I suddenly remembered mom and dad might be with their phone. I stood up and rushed upstairs so that I could get to them before they saw the news. The moment I got to the room I sighted my mom with her phone, she looked startled with her eyes open

Chapter 118Adriana povI stared at Tristan for a while but he was not saying anything to me, he just looked like he was struggling not to cry. “Pls talk to me, what's going on? And why am I here?” I asked Tristan whilst I was still looking at his face. Tristan face could already make it obvious to me that there's something wrong but he's not ready to talk to me about it. “Hey, what matters the most is your health, you need to get better first.” Tristan said to me trying to avoid the question I asked him. I could already figure out from the way he was behaving that there's something wrong but no matter how many times I ask he's not going to answer me. I turned facing the other side of the flom so that Tristan will know that I'm upset he's lying. It's very obvious that he was avoiding the truth and no later what the problem is I know that I deserve to be told the truth. Time was slowly fading and I was still in the hospital. Still wondering why I'm laying on the bed, Tristan has no

Chapter 117Adriana pov“Hey.” I said to Tristan when I sighted him sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee with him. He turned to look at me and smiled. “How are you doing?” He asked me with a brother's smile on his face. It’s been a while since Tristan stayed long at home, so it was kind of weird having him at home today.“I’m doing great.” I replied to him excitedly and sat on the couch beside him. Tristan looked like he was very invested in what he was reading so I didn’t think it was the right time to talk to him about what happened yesterday.We were both quiet for a while, I was still sitting there thinking of how to start the conversation but I couldn’t think of any better way to bring it up. “Lyla was here.” Tristan paused what he was doing the moment he heard what I said, don’t know if my tonight was right but I just had to say something to him. “Was she allowed inside the house? I remember warning them not to let her in.” He said to me looking very worried, it felt goo

Lyla povI stormed into my car and drove away when I realized no matter how long I stand there I will not be allowed to enter the house. I hated myself so much for coming in the first place, I should have listened to my instinct when I thought of not coming. I hit my car several times angrily and rested my head on the car stirring. I hate this feeling so much. “I hate Tristan.” I muttered to myself struggling not to cry because as much as I wanted to blame Tristan I also realized that somehow I am to blame for what’s going on, if I had not left the house that day, things would have been very different from what it is right now. I picked my phone to place a call across to Diego, then I remembered our last conversation, I realized that calling him will not be a good decision so it’s better I don't do it. I started the car and drove away. After a long ride I stopped at my favorite bar and walked in, my sim was to drink till I couldn't move anymore, I just needed to clear my head from

Chapter 115Lyla povI can't believe that after we agreed on keeping it a secret Adriana ended up posting it on the net, I told my tech specialist to check who uploaded it and the moment I find out that Adriana uploaded it I'm not going to let her get away with it, I'll make sure to teach her the biggest lesson of her life. “I'll sure make her pay for making me go through so much.” I muttered to myself as I was pacing around the room. I couldn't stop thinking of a way to stop the rumors from spreading even wider, because the news seems like the rumor is about to stop and it gets even worse. I picked up my phone after reading a very horrible comment about me that was posted. “What is taking you so long?” I shouted at the young man angrily because based on discussion he's supposed to be done closing the news that was spreading, he keeps saying he's doing something but he's not doing anything. I was totally losing my cool and I feared that's what Tristan and Adriana wanted. I picked
