A Contracted Affair. Fifty six
Adrianna's pov Is my life in danger?. I don't know what they are both capable of but Tristan doesn't seem like a bad guy, "Looks can be deceiving" My subconscious reminded me. "What have I gotten my self into?" I groan and bang my head on the bed repeatedly, This isn't getting better and I'm no longer comfortable with this I'm not comfortable in this house either. Screw Tristan and his cousin but I won't be taking any risk I'll change my apartment before mom recovers. I didn't notice my eyelids were getting heavier and I fluttered my eyelashes, I can't even bring myself to sleep and yet I wanted to, this whole thing is starting to get the most of me and I regret going on this stupid vacation I have never being to LA before not to talk of having such a luxurious manor to stay in. I loved the experience but it's not worth the trouble I'm facing right now, I wanted to delete the number but I only ended up saving it just in case he calls me another day so I'll kn

Adrianna's pov What in the world is going on here the both of them are glaring at each other, Kristy had those suspicious looks in her eyes while Tristan I have no idea what was going on in his head. "I'll be inside" Kristy pecked my cheeks and whispered, "Tell your boyfriend to leave we have alot to discuss" Then she left for the room. Tristan stood up and pivots toward me then stood in front of me, He was taller than I am even with my standard height and athletic body I don't stand a chance to Mr CEO and his bossy aura. Why is he giving me those haughty eyes?. "Your girlfriend?" He raised an eyebrow, Wait now it makes sense a bit he thinks Kristy is my girlfriend and he is jealous?. "Are you jealous?" I smirk enjoying the look on his face, "Far from that, I don't want anything to go wrong our wedding will proceed sooner than you expected" He explained. "She is my best friend and I'm not dating anyone so you can rest assured that you can trust me" I smack his s

Adrianna's pov Kristy kept on blabbing about how I captured his heart or whatever, I wasn't listening my cold pizza wasn't helping either. "Are you done?" I mumbled and she groaned, "You weren't listening right?" I shook my head I have forgotten the name of the movie I'm supposed to be watching right now. Thanks to someone. "Ann you can't keep on doing this I know you're scared this might end up like before, I assure you Tristan is not him" She sounded so sure I had to divert my attention from the laptop to her. "You don't know him" I should remind her, "I know him enough from what you just told me honestly you could change this whole contract thing and just make it real" Oh my goodness she shouldn't go there I don't want that at all. "We won't be having this conversation again please" I begged and she sighed. "Fine you want to remain stuck with that asshole fine, You want to keep on mourning your loss fine I won't say anything about it again" If only she knows

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

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

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
