A Contracted Affair. SIXTEEN
Adrianna's pov "Can I steal her away for a moment?" Tristan asked his father when we were finally alone, "You really can't do without her huh, I was going to follow you to her house to pick her up this morning but before I could tell you, You already zoomed off to your beloved" Mr Ford laughed at his own joke I was sick and tired of all of this I couldn't forced a smile or even laugh. "Don't worry dad I'll be right back, you can't blame him for being so clingy" I joked and his dad laughed hard, "You are right dear" He smiled and let me go. "Tell your friend to stop winking at me it's disturbing" I complained as soon as we were out of my father's sight. "Then stop looking at him" He snapped and I frowned. "When are we leaving this place?" I asked , "I pay you for this shit so shut up and stay close" He ordered and I was stunned by his outburst. I couldn't believe it I was beyond speechless and I controlled my shaky hands not to slap his arrogant face, Does he think he can hold or

Adrianna's povI just stare outside the window as we drove pass the tall trees, I knew I was in this shit already there is no turning back, Not now. Not when we are just getting started. The driver parked the car and I hopped out without waiting for him to say any shit,"Don't let me come get you my self by weekend" He yelled after me I could have sworn he said that with a smirk, I hate this guy with my whole being, How can he threaten to kill me because I refuse to be his puppet. Is he also a mafia like the De Lucas or was he just trying to scare me so I would take this serious, Either ways he is a psychopath why didn't he just get married to someone instead of getting a substitute. I saw a note on the floor and it was from Kristy, "Why didn't I notice this before I left this morning" She made coffee for me as usual but I wasn't seeing anything on the table. "Was it the coffee that jerk was sipping this morning?" I groaned as I recalled he was actually the one who drank the coffee,

Chapter Eighteen Tristan's pov She was still fast asleep when we were half way to LA, I let her sleep on my shoulder which I would never would have allowed if it was someone else. I knew I was starting to have a soft spot for her and I somehow wanted to take the risk, Back when she walked up to me at the airport, I had to control myself from staring at her. It's crazy each time I see her it always feels like the first time meeting her, Those desert brown eyes are alluring and I'm curious to find out more about her. I don't know why I feel this way maybe it's because I would be married to her for two years, I'm starting to think I made a mistake making it a two year contract, I felt her head rolling off my shoulder so I placed my hand to hold her in place. What's wrong with me, I sighed and slowly my head landed on hers and I slept off, I was waken to a tap on my shoulder I opened my eyes to meet with her gaze. "Do you have my glasses?" She asked and I blinked awkwardly before ha

Tristan's pov"Who would want to be happy about a fake marriage because they are in need of money for their sick mother?" My subconscious reminded me and I sighed, Why was I even comparing Lyla to Anna they are both different people. "Are you listening?" I heard her ask me staring at me with concern laced in her voice, "Yes?" I inquired and she roll her eyes, "Just move your arrogant ass I'm thirsty" She said causally taking her phone, "Did you just call me arrogant?" I couldn't believe my ears and she nodded in confirmation. "Cause that's what you are" She stated without looking at me in the eye, "If you are so brave then say that to my face" I handed the bottle water to her, She accepts and lifted her gaze. I felt my heart skipped a bit when she leaned closer to me our lips were just few inches away, Staring deep into my eyes "You are an arrogant asshole, A pompous jerk that's what you are" She smiled seeing the stunned look on my face as if she read my mind, Her gaze landed on my

Chapter Twenty Adrianna's pov I unpacked both in anger and in frustration, "Look I'm sorry for what happened back in the car, I had no idea I was just.." I heard his annoying voice say, "So you are going to apologize for just what happened in the car, What about what happened before and even now" I'm so pissed right now I could literally kill someone. "I don't understand?" He furrows his brows and I scoff in disbelief, "You..Fine it's fine its all good" I so much wanted to kill him right now, He wasn't that interested in my mood he just drop his luggage. I left for the dressing room in anger I can't stand that asshole, "What if I was naked , I don't understand" I mocked his tone taking off my clothes, My undies were the only thing I had on then I noticed I didn't bring a bathrobe or even a towel. I frantically searched for one in the dressing room then I remembered these rich brats keep their bathrobe in a rack inside the bathroom, I'll have to leave this dressing room and open

Chapter Twenty one Adrianna's pov"Nice to meet y'all" I smiled so much my cheeks hurt but I was good at keeping fake smiles, "Oh dear I love your skin, What skin product do you use?" One of the blonde women asked, She looked sophisticated like the wife of the president I knew I had to make a first impression so I told them. "Oh dear that's a very expensive spa and I heard their products are the best" She smiled widely scrutinizing my outfit, "Is that Valentinos?" She asked pointing at my shoes, it's obvious she's a fashion freak. "Yes it is, The dress is from Channel" I added before she asks, She nodded looking pleased with my appearance then she looked like she noticed something, I was getting uncomfortable with the looks she was giving me. "Your neck is bare, A lady's neck should never be bare you look like you lack nutrition now that's the importance of a diamond necklace, It gives beauty to your neck and makes your collarbones stand out" She lectured and God she wasn't just b

Chapter Twenty Two Adrianna's pov Mira went on and on telling me how she got married and how she gave birth to twins unfortunately they died at birth. I felt sorry for her but I didn't say anything because I thought it would bring up old wounds, "What does your husband do for a living?" I asked stylishly if I was going to get married to his cousin I need to know more about them. "Oh my husband owns Crownway hospital, And I'm the owner of Dymnamites Hall" She said proudly, Whoa this people are damn rich Crownway is the largest and most expensive hospital in the country, And Dynamite Hall is a big shopping mall mostly for the royals and people with wealthy personality. "Mike is part of the popular music band H2O and his networth his over twenty billion, My parents hated his choice of profession at first they thought singing for a living was stupid and try to force him into business, But he left home and ever since then he didn't stop making my parents regret their choice not to sup

Tristan's pov I woke up the next morning to find the bed empty it was just me, No pillows and no Adrianna I found the pillows on the ground close to my side of the bed, "Where could she have gone to so early?" I roll my eyes wondering why I was bothering about her. But wait what if she left when I was still asleep and nobody would notice her leaving, "Shit!" I sprang up from the bed maybe I should have let her have the bed to herself last night. I checked the closet in the dressing room and her clothes were still there, I sighed in relief then it occurred to me what if she left without taking any clothes after all I bought it with my own money. "Damn it!" I opened the door and slammed it shut after me before rushing downstairs my mom and the others at the dining table, Probably setting the table because only the women were there. "Mom have you seen Anna?" I asked perplexed and she gave me a weird look, "You should have at least change into something better before rushing down to

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
