A Contracted Affair. Seventy One
Tristan povI can't believe I was bothered for nothing. I came all the way here to make it clear to Adriana that no matter what we are going to keep the get married and the contract cannot be terminated only to get here and hear her say something entirely different from what I thought. “You said you had something important to tell me, is this it?” I had to ask again to be sure I heard correctly the first time. “Yes, I don't want it to look like I'm taking advantage of your kindness, I just thought it's only right if I tell you the truth.” Adriana concluded. I can't believe I wasted time trying to bring my friends here to talk about the wedding so that Adriana won't think of changing her mind and terminate the contract. “I knew already you didn't have to…” I paused talking and I realized I just spilled. I turned to look at Adriana and it was obvious she would demand an explanation on how I got to know her friends visited the apartment. “How did you…” “I mean that's my house, I kno

Adrianna pov While I was on my way out of the bar I got a call from Tristan’s mom, and can’t believe she’s having a pre wedding party because I requested for a small wedding. “You’re back…” I couldn’t wait to hear the complete statement because I was in a hurry, I’m not yet a part of the family so I don’t want to give a bad impression. I rushed to the room and removed my dress, rushed into the bathroom for a cold shower and rushed out the moment I was done. I brought out all the dresses in my wardrobe but I was still not satisfied with anyone that I brought out. “I’m losing my mind.” I muttered to myself with my hands on my waist as I was looking at the dresses. I can’t believe I just met with Tristan and he didn’t bother to tell me what his mom was preparing, if he had told me I would have been ready for this. “Can you tell me what’s going on?” Kristina asked me when she noticed how miserable I looked with a bikini on while trying to figure out what I’ll wear to the pre weddin

Adriana povWhile I was on my way to Tristan’s house I couldn’t stop thinking of what the party would look like and how many guests would be there. I placed my hand on my forehead tiredly as I thought about what I’m doing. I suddenly started missing my mom, I wish I had told her the truth. I would have gotten a morale boost from her.I brought out my phone and started looking at her pictures, but can’t believe I told such a big lie to my mom, I don’t think she’ll ever forgive me. While I was looking at the pictures on my phone I suddenly got a text message I checked the message and was shocked to see an alert. I don’t know why he sent it but it was not on the agreement. “It’s not time to get paid yet.” I muttered to myself as I was still looking at the alert on my phone. A call Came in immediately and it was from the sender. “Did you get what I sent to you?” He asked the moment I picked the call. “That was so straight to the point.” I muttered to myself the moment he asked the q

Adriana povI couldn’t summon the courage to go close to him because of how loud his voice was so I ran out of the room. When I got downstairs the party was already a mess and Tristan’s mom was exhausted so I left the house. “My life is a mess.” I muttered to myself as I entered the cab heading back home. I rested my head on the car window as a soft music played in the car. Everything is happening so fast and I’m scared because I’m slowly losing control of my life. Tears welled down my eyes as I was in deep thought. “Ma’am, we’ve arrived at your destination.” The driver announced to me when he stopped the car and noticed I was not stepping out of the car. I snapped out of my thought and looked outside, surprisingly the ride felt short. I got out of the car and slowly walked inside the house. “Wooh, that was quick.” Kristina said to me as I walked in with a glass of juice in her hand, I had no words for her so I quietly headed upstairs, she noticed I was not in a good mood so she d

Adriana povAs the church door opened it felt like my life was flashing through the bright light, I can’t believe I am getting married to a stranger, someone I don’t know we’ll enough. I stood on the same spot for seconds before snapping out of my thought and started walking down the aisle.There was no one to walk with me, in the movies I see fathers do that for their daughters but I have no one to do such for me. I looked at their faces as I was walking in and they looked very happy about the fake wedding. I faced front and sighted Tristan waiting for me, by this move were hurting a lot of people and the day they find out the truth I don’t want to imagine what that day would be like. He grabbed my hands and helped me stand properly the moment I got to the alter for our marriage vows. I looked at his face and he could pass as a very good actor, with the look on his face no one would ever believe that the marriage is a fake one. We said the vows and the congregation clapped excitedl

Tristan povThe next morning. I woke up very early and walked out of the room. The view was so beautiful, I walked around and ordered a cup of coffee from a cafe around. I sat in the cafe and looked around from there, while I was looking around I sighted someone familiar face. “Adriana?” I was shocked to see her outside even playing in the beach because when I was leaving the room she was asleep. I found myself unable to stop looking at her as she was playing with a little child. Her charming innocent smile suits her face very well, while playing she fell on the floor. “She’s so clumsy.” I muttered to myself and smiled. I suddenly felt my cheeks were hurting that’s when I realized I’ve been smiling the whole time she was playing. I snapped out of it immediately and walked out of the cafe so i can see more beautiful places around. I have always wanted to visit such beautiful place but I just never had the chance too because I’m always very busy with work now i have the chance I’m

But everything hit hard when you see a beautiful view, you begin to imagine what it would have been like to be born rich. Looking at those rich kids with their parents made me feel really down. “They look so cute.” I muttered to myself and smiled. “What are you doing here all by yourself?” Tristan asked me and sat beside me, I turned to look at him with a smile on my face then looked away. “You know the day before our wedding, you were so scary.” I turned to look at Tristan with a smile on my face. I don’t know if he’s going to pick offense in what I just said to him but I know that somehow I had to tell him how I felt that day. “Was i?” He asked with a smile on his faces I couldn’t stop staring at him because he surprises me a lot, sometimes he’s cold, sometimes he’s warm. There was a short silence between both of
A Contracted Affair. Seventy eight
Tristan pov While I was heading back home I had a lot on my mind, how did dad see her? Why will he see her when she’s dead? I had so many questions to ask because it’s completely unbelievable that my ex wife that died years ago is alive. I remember that night, I got the news about about her death, that was the worst night of my life. I almost forgot I remarried until Adriana placed her hand on mine, I don’t know why she did that, but at this point I need someone by my side more than ever. I realized that I told her about our leaving without telling her the reason which she deserve to know about as my wife. The way she kept staring at me I could tell she was very worried. I finally broke the news to her and she was so shocked that she removed her hand from mine and stared at me for a while. I know I should have told her the moment I found out but it was also shocking to me. “There’s no way she’s the one.” I said with a shaky voice, but if any other person had told me I would hav
