A Contracted Affair. Eighty One
Lyla povI can’t believe my return has shaken them so much that he had to return from his honeymoon, looks like I still have his control button. I picked up my glass of wine and gulped it as I couldn’t help but laugh. The whole thing was so funny to me because the young lady he’s married to don’t know the kind of bond we share, she might be his wife now but I remain the real love of his life. “Let her just watch and see how he’ll come running to me when he finds out where I am.” I laughed out loud with my legs crossed as I thought about the look on his face when he will be on his knees begging me to come back to his life and apologize for thinking I was dead, though I planned the whole thing. “This feels so good.” I muttered to myself feeling on top of the moon. I suddenly remembered the smile on his face when he was getting married to that good for nothing girl. He looked a little too happy and I’m not okay with that. “Oh, I need to forget that day because I might lose it.” I said

Tristan pov It's been days already and suddenly the news of Lyla’s return had died down, I got closer to Adriana. I got to know her better and I found myself getting drawn to her even more. She's been a breath of fresh air to my family, now everyone is always happy because she makes it happen. “I have to keep my distance, and don't know what's wrong with me anymore.” I muttered to myself when I found myself starting at her with a bright smile on my face. I promised Lyla I would never love anyone else except her but after staying indoor with Adriana I realized I have started breaking the promise. “Are you okay?” Adriana asked me with a bright smile on her face. I removed my face immediately because that smile draws me closer to her everytime. “Yeah, I'm good. I just need to use the toilet.” I replied her and stood up from the bed. The moment I got to the bathroom I could breath well. “Get a hold of yourself Tristan.” I muttered. Ever since we got back from our honeymoon, none o

Lyla PovIt's been days already and Tristan has not bothered to search for me, I can't believe it. I couldn't stop pacing around the room worriedly, I turned to look at Diego still sleeping after the hot night we had together. “Hey.” I went to wake him up because I need someone to talk to right now. He opened his eyes a little and rubbed them too tiredly.“What's going on? Why do you look worried?” He asked me while still rubbing his eyes. I stared at him angrily and hissed. “How do you expect me to fall in love with you when you don't even care about me, and have been brainstorming here but you were just there sleeping comfortably.” I said to him angrily with my hands folded across my chest. Diego immediately got up from the bed so that he can know what's wrong. He looked like actually cares but I can never be with him, he's only going to be body warmer nothing more. “Talk to me, what's going on?” Diego asked me. I sat down on the couch and picked up my phone.“It’s too late to

Tristan pov I can't believe what I just heard, I checked the caller again to confirm if I was really talking to Lyla. Adriana stopped shat she was doing when she saw how worried I looked on the call. “You're good?” Adriana asked me and without replying her I walked out of the kitchen. I didn't know what to tell her and I was trying not to ruin her mood with the Lyla conversation so I had to leave the kitchen but I hope she sees it that way and not think I was snubbing her questions. “Tristan.” My mom called with a bright smile as she was approaching the kitchen but I couldn't reply her. I left the house and started the car immediately. Lyla told me to meet her at a restaurant if I want to confirm she's really alive. While I was driving to go see her I couldn't believe I was hoping it was a spam call or someone else just trying to prank me. “There's no way Lyla is really alive.” I muttered to myself and increased the cat speed. Adriana and everyone at hok kept calling he on phone

Tristan povLyla was very upset with me that she couldn't gage any other conversation. She stood up and left angrily. I can't believe I told her such a thing. I sat down still on the same chair, unable to move or say a word but what shocked me the most is that I didn't regret saying anything to her. “She must be really pissed.” I muttered to myself and remembered the disappointment in her eyes after what I said. Lyla has never been the persistent type of person with what I have to her dye will never bother me again. I finally had the strength to stand up, so I stood up and walked out of the hotel, the moment I was out I sent a message to the driver to come pick the car while I followed a cab back home. After what happened just now I don't think I'm in the right frame of mind to drive myself back home. While the cab was driving me back to the house I heard my phone ring, as just as I thought it was Adriana, I couldn't bring myself to pick the call so I decided not to pick but instea

Adriana povI don't know what git me angry the more, was it because he went to see Lyla without telling us about it, or the fact that he lied when they asked him. I was mad because the Tristan I know doesn't care about anything or anyone, he would say the truth no matter what but this time he lied. I got to the room and slammed the door angrily. I didn't know if I had the right to be angry or not, but I couldn't help it. When I got to the room I sat on the bed and heaved a sigh. I thought maybe I was overreacting but the whole thing was booster when I saw his parents reaction too. I really needed someone to tell everything to, I need someone that'll be on my side no matter what. I brought out my phone and dialed Kristina’s number, then I suddenly remembered what was written on the contract before I signed it. “There just be no third party even in a misunderstanding.” I dropped my phone when I remembered this line. Then I looked outside through the window. I suddenly felt relieved

Adriana povHearing what Tristan said made me realize that Lyla might be back for good this time and ready to do whatever it takes to get Tristan back. She has been moving around and making it known to people already that she is alive and healthy, very soon she'll go to the media for a proper interview and that when I come in, everyone will now see me as the bad person and some might think I have a hand in her disappearance. I turned to look at Tristan who still looked shocked while staring at the picture. “We just had a conversation, and this hug, she forced it.” While Tristan was married to Lyla for year's there's never been rumors about him cheating and with this picture Lyla might make it known to the world that Triatan is still in love with her.“Why is Lyla doing this?” Tristan asked. Still very surprised. I Was still unable to say anything to him because I judged him without hearing his side of the story first. While we were sitting quietly in the room with Tristan asking r

Chapter 88Adriana povI sighed as Tristan walled out of the room. I can't believe I said that to him even when I know I'm in love with him already. The look on his face when I told him we should get a divorce, he looked very disappointed, sad and angry. What else was I supposed to say?I fell with my back on the bed as I looked at the ceiling thinking really hard about the whole thing. Everything is a mess right now and with the way Lyla is behaving I don't think she's going to stop, I have to remove myself before it's too late. ***************I stretched my hand to pick my phone and then I realized it was almost time for dinner. I would have to see Tristan again after telling him about the divorce, or would it be better if I talk about the divorce while we're eating on the dinning?“No, it'll ruin everyone's mood.” I snapped out of it immediately and decided not to say anything like that on the dining and just focus on having dinner and returning to the room.While I was thinkin

Chapter 122Adriana povI finally got home after being away for 7months. My wife mm must have grown grey hours missing me. I got out of the can and stood outside the house for a while before I summoned the courage to go inside the house. It's been 7 months and so much has happened. I have cried, laughed and get sad. 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

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
