A Contracted Affair. Ninety seven
Adriana pov Listening to Tristan sound so sweet made me so happy that I might get too greedy later. I looked at his face very with his hand on my hand, I really wanted to know what was going on in his head and why he was sounding like this all of a sudden. I let out a soft smile without saying anything to him because I was too puzzled to say anything to him. We were both quiet for a while, which seemed awkward. Somehow it felt like he was confessing his feelings to me but I chose not to think too deep about what he said to me because I might become delusional. “Let's go eat.” Tristan said to me and I nodded my head immediately and headed to the dining with him to eat. I was confused seeing too much on the dining, it wasn't long ago when we are something so I don't know why we are eating so much again. “This is a lot.” I said to him and laughed, I was trying not to make the atmosphere too awkward, and I could tell Tristan was feeling bad for making me feel uncomfortable. “I t

Chapter 98Tristan povThe Interview that Lyla did was really working for her because it is about to make me lose a foreign contract. I couldn't believe it when I first saw the mail because it was something we already settled on and all of a sudden they went out. I decided to leave my hiding place and go back to reality where I stopped. I felt it was too sudden and thought really hard about it but I came to the conclusion of leaving because there's a lot of money at stake. I didn't have enough time to think of how Adriana would feel when she hears that were leaving, “She might be upset.” I muttered to myself feeling confused. I stood up from the bed after thinking for a while and dressed up. I had to dress up to send Adriana the signal that something urgent came up and we have to leave. I don't know how she'll feel about it but at this point I needed a quick decision.While we were dining , Adriana asked why we were leaving all of a sudden but I couldn't give her the full context be

Chapter 99Tristan povWe both sat on the dining together after she shook her head trying to indicate that she has eaten anything yet, I was moved because it made me know that she was waiting for me. While we were eating we both said nothing to each other, we just sat at the dinning looking at each other's food. The mood was kind of weird but we were just a red normal like nothing was going on. I wanted to say something to her but I couldn't say anything, I didn't know how to bring up the conversation by telling her that I might have to step step because of the mess Lyla created.“I need your help.” I didn't know when that rushed out of my mouth but it said it, Adriana looked shocked when she heard me saying something like that in such a tone and at such a moment, I sounded like a little boy trying to ask his mom for sweet. Adriana stared at me for a while before she finally lowered her head to eat her food. “Is it work?” Adriana asked me, and I nodded my head. It was obvious that

Chapter 100Adriana povHearing the way Tristan was talking made me feel very sad because with the way he was behaving I could tell he was very worried but he was trying not to let it show. While I was dining with him I could see he was really struggling even when he started telling me about his troubles. I could tell he was very uneasy, he was trying not to let it show that he was very nervous. “What can I do to help him?” I asked myself several times while staring at the ceiling, but nothing was coming to my head and it made me think that's the same way Tristan is feeling right now.“It must be really hard on him.” I muttered to myself and sighed. I was waiting for him to return to the room while I was thinking hard on what we can both do to bring down Lyla once and for all. I decided to do something first before trying to do something that'll ruin her, maybe there's a chance of her changing her mind at the end of the day. I picked up my phone and placed a call across to Lyla im

Chapter 101Adriana povHe fell on the bed like a hopeless man and sighed. I knew Tristan was going to be very hurt when he found out the truth. That's why I tried not to tell him about it but eventually he found out by himself and his current state was not a good sight at all coupled with the company stress he's going through. “Why did she come back now?” Tristan asked, sounding really wasted.“This is not the time to be sulking over spilled milk.” I said to him while trying to raise him up from the bed. My eyes and his eyes met and we stared at each other for a while without saying anything. It was kind of awkward so I removed my face and tried to stand up when I felt him holding my hand.I turned to look at him, without wasting time Tristab grabbed my lips and started kissing he passionately. From kissing we progressing into something dirtier. I didn't know what was going on in my head at that moment but what I know is that I wasn't going to stop him, but will face the consequenc

Chapter 102Adriana povWhile waiting for Lyla I was getting nervous had a little scared at the thought that she might not neither shoeing up. I don't know why I thought so, but I had a feeling that's going to happen with the way things were going. I checked the time again and she was not still at the restaurant. I tried reaching her several times but she was not picking my calls.It was getting frustrating and I was losing my cool, I placed an order for both of us and now it's ready. She's still not at the restaurant. I didn't know what else to do or who to reach so that I can get to her. I noticed there was too much notification popping on my phone as I turned on my internet to know what was going on. Shockingly it was Tristan, I can't believe he's giving Lyla what she wants.“Hello.” Lyla said to me with a smile on her face as she walked into the restaurant. I could tell she was very happy after seeing the news on the television. She always has this winning spirit which I kind of

Chapter 103Adriana pov Finally I sightwd the car drove into the compound, I was getting so scared. I told the chef to serve the food already because there back and they must he very hungry at the moment. Mother walked looking very tired, u could tell it wasn't as easy as I thought but at the end they made sure it ended joyfully. “You look so tired, I said to Tristan mom and helped her collect her bag so that she can go rest. Tristan dad was also inside already but Tristan was not with them, I waited for a while thinking he had something he was doing outside, I went outside and realized he wasn't there. I would ent back into the house and acted like I was not upset. “Mom, did Tristan say he's going ssomewhere?” I asked Tristan mom calmly, she smiled and nodded her head when she heard the question I asked her. I was a little curious to know where he went to but I didn't want it to be too obvious that I was very curious. “Yes, he said he needs to clear his head. You know a lot ha

Chapter 104 Tristan pov After the board meeting, I felt somehow and I just needed a break from everyone and everything, I wanted to go to a place where I could breathe and stop thinking too much about anything. But before I leave I told myself I was going to see Lyla and know what I did wrong to her. At first I thought it was a bad idea but at the same time I thought it'll be better so I asked her so that I can get it out of my chest once and for all. At this point I really wasn't thinking about how Adriana would feel. I just wanted to escape and think of myself alone. Then I suddenly remembered what happened between Adriana and me last night, it felt like I made her do what she didn't want to do because from what I can remember clearly, I'm the one that staffed her closer to me. That's another reason why I can't look at her face right now. She might find me disgusting and don't want to have anything to do with me again, I had so much on my mind and had a misunderstanding with Ad

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
