A Contracted Affair. Fifty nine
Tristan's pov I sent my driver to pick her up from her house I know she'll still be with her best friend doing girly stuffs maybe gossiping about her trip to LA. Now standing in front of the glass walls in my office I watch pedestrians moving to and fro with so much energy I lack right now, Lyla always joked about how much of a loner I am or maybe she's right after all. Or maybe all I need is a spark to ignite my fire. I spotted my car driving into the parking lot and she stepped out looking really impressive, the dark shades made her look more mysterious to anyone who tries to recognize her. I do have a great eye for women because she was earning a lot of attention, She is wearing all blue even the jacket on her shoulders are blue and the color suited her perfectly. I heard a knock on my door and I mumbled a 'Come in', it's Enrique and I wonder what he is here to say because we've discussed all I need to know for now. " Sir, She is here to see you again" He info

Sixty. Adrianna’s Pov. I was so shocked, that I lacked words to say at the moment...“Why did he kiss me?” I couldn’t help but wonder, but then—it was as if he read my thoughts and he cleared his throat weirdly. “Enrique was watching,” He said simply, but I narrowed my eyes at him without knowing what to say. “I just couldn’t give her an opportunity to notice anything suspicious between us right?” He shrugged, but I still didn’t reply. I really didn’t know if he was telling the truth or if it was his excuse—but I knew that single of act of his managed to send shivers down my spine. “This is how he managed to skip my questions,” I thought, staring at him absentmindedly. I sighed silently, as I kept on staring at him trying to know what else he was up to. My legs began to hurt and I had to sit down directly before him. “I’m not sure I can concentrate with you staring at me like that,” I heard him say, and I had to clear my throat nervously—diverting my attention elsewhere. I br
A Contracted Affair. Sixty one
Adrianna’s Pov. It was a day that mother-in-law fixed for us to go for the wedding shopping, but I had a Favour to ask her. I was currently waiting for her in the living room, while I was told that she’ll join me in a minute. Almost immediately, I heard click of heels descending the stairs and I didn’t need any soothsayer to tell me that she was my mother in law. “Mother,” I started, and she paused to stare at me before flashing me a beautiful smile. “My darling,” She responded, with curiosity etched on her forehead. “I have a favour to ask ma,” I stated, with my head bent. “Go straight to the point,” She said, and I breathed deeply. I really didn’t know how she’ll feel, but it was my day and not hers—I just hoped that she won’t take it anyhow. “I’d like to beg you to let me purchase my wedding dress myself,” I said, clutching my hands together in a nervous manner. “Sure,” She said with a very wide smile on her face.“Are you okay about that?” I asked breathing deeply, and sh

Adrianna’s POV. “Why me?” She asked, making me heave slightly. “You’re a model, and you’re also a person I trust would teach me well,” I said, and I noticed that she blushed slightly. She brought out her phone, played a video and handed it over to me. It was an easy tutorial class about beginners, and how they should walk and act on their wedding day. It could easily be learnt by just watching the video, and when I was so engrossed with the video—she revved the engine back to life and drove off. We got to another shopping mall to purchase few things, but I was still engrossed with the video I was watching and for real—it helped because I learnt some new things I never knew about. “Ugh finally!” I groaned, stretching my body as I massaged my knuckles—yawning slightly. My stomach grumbled, but I tried to control it and not act like I was hungry because we had a lot to do than to while away time eating. She had to purchase everything herself, after I gave her the black card whic

Adrianna’s povI don’t know what was going on between both of us at this point all I know is that I didn’t want to release myself from his grip. “Oh sorry.” Tristan said to me and finally released me from his grip. I couldn’t look at him in the eyes because I don’t know why but I felt like I wanted to be around him for long. “Are you okay?” Tristan asked, I immediately snapped out of my thought and summoned the courage to raise my head and look at his face. “I'm fine, thank you very much for understanding me.” I said to him and took some steps backwards so I can leave. “Do you care for some tea?” I halted the moment I heard the question he asked. I was excited to say yes but I controlled the excitement because I don't know why I'm suddenly excited to spend more time with him. “If you don't mind.” I replied him and let out a soft smile, with my hands in my back pocket. We both walked inside the house. The moment I got in I sat down on the couch and looked around the house, I've not

Adrianna’s povI ended the call immediately, still in shock. I can't believe I called Tristan. It was supposed to be Kristina. I felt shy and embarrassed at the same time, that's what happens when one is too excited. I sat on the couch tiredly and placed my hand on my head. It's two days to my wedding now and I'm not even sure I'm making the right decision, but my thoughts no longer matter because I already signed the contract with him and I have to get married to him no matter what. I heard my phone beep and I thought it was a random text then I realized messages kept popping in which made me wonder what was going on. I stretched my hand toredly and picked up the phone. The moment I opened it I noticed that I have been added to a group chat. “What's going on?” I asked myself, still in shock. I scrolled on the group and realized they were all congratulating me for being engaged to a billionaire.“How did they even find out?” I asked myself while I was still scrolling through the cha
A Contracted Affair. Sixty five
Adrianna povI was done arranging my stuff into the box and the can was already waiting outside, I can't believe I'll be away from my mom for five months. I hugged her very tight when I was about to leave the room.“Mom, don't forget your medication,” I said to her after hugging her. I never knew it was going to be this hard to leave the house with my mom alone with a caretaker. “I am going to take care of myself don't worry about me and focus on your work.” My mom said to be calmly, I know she was also trying not to tear up, I could tell she was also missing me already, so much that she didn't want to part ways with me.“I'll call every day to check up on you.” I said to my mom and gave her one final hug before walking out of the room. I don't know if my mom is ever going to figure me out the day she gives out that I've been lying to her all these while. I wonder how she's going to feel when she finds out one day that this trip is for my wedding and honeymoon.I got out of the house
A Contracted Affair. Sixty six
Tristan pov“She can be this playful?” I smiled as I watched her through the CCTV footage around the house. After smiling for a while I came back to reality and frowned. “Why am I smiling?” I closed the tab and dropped it on the table, the moment I dropped it I couldn't stop hearing her voice in my head so I decided to place a call across to her.****************After speaking to Adriana on the phone I let out a soft smile and headed to the room.“Sir.” I halted the moment I heard my Secretary call me. “It's ma'am.” I can't believe she called my secretary because I refused to pick her calls. Tell her I'm asleep.“I can hear you clearly.” I heard her from the phone, I can't believe he already picked the call. I was so pissed so I just collected it so that I'll not get an earful on my wedding day. “I'm very busy at the moment, that's…”“Keep quiet and listen to me, I agree to the small wedding.” I was amazed that my mom finally agreed even though I already lied to Adriana that she
