A Contracted Affair. Forty four
Tristan's pov Anna insisted we tell Mr Gregory about the deal the next day, I didn't know how she was going to handle this but I trust that she would handle it. "So when we meet up tomorrow I would do the talking" She said and I nodded, "Why didn't you tell me you studied science in college?" I asked. "And what's the need?, I thought you investigated me besides I'll be gone after two years" She replied with a shrug. "What if I intend to keep you with me after two years?". She averted her gaze from the laptop and gave me a puzzled look, "What do you mean?" She frowned battling her long eyelashes. "I know you can't wait for the contract to be done with so you can be with Wilson" I knew she hates Wilson but I just want to see her reaction, "So you think I'm into him?. What a pity" She shook her head and continue her research, "I need some space you are suffocating me" She dismissed and I sigh. "Do you know how to design one?" I asked and she shook her head negatively

Adrianna's pov Kristy told me she was kidnapped much to my surprise she seemed happy about it, "How is that a good thing to you?" I asked puzzled and she laughed about it. "You need to see Axel he was so pissed and he made sure they all died for laying their hands on me" She tried making sense of the whole thing but I still don't get it, "So you're saying you let yourself get adducted so you can put his love to test?" My mouth was wide open in shock what if she was killed or worse raped. "Yes exactly and Axel proved me wrong, He is here right now and he wants to speak to you" She informed me and I roll my eyes, "Hello?" I expected his voice to be cold but he sounds friendly, "Hey you most be Adrianna?" His Scottish accent made me wonder how Kristy even met with him, God I hate clubs there are always different animals there from different countries. "Yes the one and only, You must be the one trying to take her away from me" I tried to go with the flow, He doesn't

Adrianna's pov "Don't try to outsmart me again, I'll let this slide only if you be a good girl for me" He licks my earlobe and I flinch feeling tensed and irritated. I hate this man with my whole being now and there is nothing he would say to change that, "If Tristan finds out about what you're doing.."."There is nothing he isn't aware of and I told him I want you" He interrupted me with a smug grin I so much wanted to slap off his face. Wait is he trying to say his cousin gave him the go ahead to do this?, My eyes shone as the words hit me "There is nothing he isn't aware of" I stared at him in shock "That can't be true, He would never.."."But he did and you can't do a damn thing about it, No one should know about this and you can't tell anyone" He straightened up and put his hands on his pocket. "Mira knows and she saw you here" I knew Mira would gladly do anything to tanish my reputation. "Don't worry about it she won't tell and I can handle it, Give Tri

Adrianna's pov Should I dismiss him the same way he did to me yesterday, I really shouldn't be the one to cause conflict between the two cousins. Mira is mine to handle she's a woman like me so I can handle her, "What did Mr Gregory say to you?" I asked ignoring his questions, "Answer me first" He insisted and I roll my eyes. "Why do you care?" the back and forth questions between us went on until he finally gave up, "I'll just wait till you tell me yourself" He sighed. "What makes you think I would tell you myself?" I raised an eyebrow at his assumptions, "Mr Gregory is just like you described, He tried to make me stay for long but I did as you told me to " He said ignoring my question. "Did you check if there was a tracker on your car?" I asked him, "I didn't go with my car, I used Wilson's" I shudder as he mentioned that name, I'm beginning to dread that name which is exactly what Wilson wants. "Oh I see" I didn't take the decision far from there I just wan

Tristan's pov I didn't know why I felt worried about her when I saw her crying like that, Her mother was doing well I made sure of that and I call my nurse to check up on her twice in a week. She refused to tell me why and I agreed to let it go if she wants to keep secrets from me then she would be on her own, I wasn't expecting the question she asked me and I knew something triggered her to ask. All thanks to Wilson she knows about Lyla well she doesn't know but I can't t stand her saying that name, I was beginning to forget about her then she brought up the issues again I can't sleep properly. Lyla keeps hurting me and accusing me of cheating I know it's based on my imaginations, But my imaginations aren't suppose to come to life and hunt my dreams, Adrianna did well threatening the old baldy he was shaking by the time she left the office. "Let's get to it" I stood up and threw a wipe at him because he is covered in sweat and fear, My admiration for Anna just

Adrianna's pov I can't believe I had it all wrong I really thought she was alive or they wanted to keep their relationship a secret, I'm so stupid to believe what Wilson was telling me I should have known he was just trying to break us. Maybe that's what he thought but unfortunately he made us even more closer, "I'm so sorry" I couldn't even look at him in the eyes. I'm so stupid I feel like hitting myself now, "It's fine I really loved her and I can't see myself with someone else" He sighed and I felt something moved inside me, I feel like I'm responsible for making him relive those sad memories. All because of my curiosity I kept pushing him till he confessed why he wanted a contract marriage, "I'm sure she will be proud of you wherever she is now, I know the pain of losing someone you love it takes time to heal and sometimes you can't heal but eventually you'll" I forced a smile, He nodded and stood up. "You should go to bed now, I will make sure Wilson doesn

Adrianna's pov I gulp when his car pulled up in the parking lot, Today was uneventful and boring I was hoping Mira or Wilson will come bug me as usual but they didn't fall for my trap. I'm a ticking bomb as it is now I really need something to transfer my aggression to, The chocolates helps and the movies were a good way of distracting me from my plight. "Tristan is back" I mumbled for the third time I had being hoping he would be late, Maybe I would be asleep by the time he comes in but he proved me wrong. "What do I do now?" I whined, How do I even face him?. I can't believe he noticed me this morning gosh this is so embarrassing and I hated the fact that I'm all red even without seeing him yet. He opened the door and took off his jacket, Of course my attention was fully on the movies I was watching but I could feel his gaze on me. "I'm back" He announced like I care about if he's back or not, "I can see that" I replied and chew on the chocolate chip, "Are y

Tristan's pov She just stared at me like I was nuts I can't believe she is rejecting my kind gestures, "Just eat I won't scold you again" I assured her but she didn't move an inch. I groan and pull the chair to sit beside her, She turned and diverted her attention to her phone the reason why I'm overreacting is because I don't want any trouble. She could die for taking drugs without prescription and without food, "Open your mouth" I ordered and it sounded weird even to me, She ignored me still on her phone. "Adrianna don't do this" I warned and she sighed before keeping her phone, "I can feed myself Tristan leave me be" She retorted taking a piece of grape from the tray. "See, I'm not handicaped" She roll her eyes and I instantly gave up, "Fine make sure you finish every single meal on this plate" I stood up to leave. "Yes master" She mocked rolling her eyes, I left to take a shower today was really hectic and frustrating. Mr Gregory was whining about my work

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
