A Contracted Affair. Sixty Seven
Adriana pov“One thousand people?” I shouted on the phone when I heard what Tristan said to me, it's supposed to be a simple wedding but his parents are not ready to hear that, they want it to be a grand wedding looking small.I suddenly remembered my school mates saying they'd like to attend too. I think this is the best time to accept the one thousand and maybe add a few numbers to it as well.“I told her it was too much but..”“No, it's fine, I was actually thinking we'll have up to one thousand five hundred guests at the wedding.” I know Tristan would be shocked to hear what I said because I'm the one that insisted on a small wedding. “Hey, am I speaking to the right person?” Tristan asked for clarity. I know he's just shocked to hear that I plan on having up to one thousand five hundred guests in my wedding when I've been screaming that I want a small wedding. “I think one thousand five hundred guests is not too much for a small fee l wedding, remember who you are, your mom hav

Adrianna pov“Why are you here? We both know you don't like me.” I said to her with my hands folded across my chest. Cassie laughed out loud after hearing what I said to her. I just couldn't hold it in anymore seeing her stand in front of me pretending to be my friend.“Well, you're no longer the poor brat you used to be, look around you, everything here is luxurious so you're qualified to be my friend now.” Staring at her while she was talking made me feel she is more stupid than I ever imagined. “You look like a clown, go take a look at your face in the mirror.” I said to her angrily and walked away. The moment I walked away everything she said in my presence kept ringing in my head. So the reason why she treated me that way was just because I was poor? She made that school a living hell for me.I got downstairs and saw the rest of them eating peacefully while getting along with each other, Cassie just had to leave such a peaceful gathering to come irritated me. “Hey, come join us.

Tristan pov“Hey dad, Good morning.” I greeted as I walked out of it room, it looked like my dad was coming to my room.“Tris, how are you?” He asked as we both walked downstairs. I could tell from the look of his face that he wants to have a conversation with me but I don't think I'm ready for that right now. “I was about visiting you in your room.” Just as I thought he wants to have a conversation with me, how do I escape?“Uhmm, is it very important because I have something important that I need to take care of.” I said to my dad trying to about having the conversation with him. “Yes, it's very important.” I know there's always no way to escape my dad whenever he wants to talk to e. I followed him to the sitting room and we both sat on the couch. “I'm all ears.” I said to him reluctantl. There was a short pause between the both of us. No one was saying anything to the other which was a little awkward. “Dad, you're not saying anything.” I was slowly losing patience with this sile

Adrianna pov“Do you think it's necessary to tell him about it?” Kristina asked, trying to stop me from going to see Tristan. I turned to look at her and let out a soft smile. “What are you saying? He has every right to know.” I said to her and stood up from the couch. I picked up my phone and my bag then walked out of the house slowly, I don't know if what I'm about to do is necessary but I just can't stay without telling him because he has every right to know.The moment I got out of the house I stopped a cab and headed to the address Tristan sent to me. While I was heading there I rested my head on the car seat and remembered the call I placed across to Tristan. His tone and the way he ended the call the first time was so mean and the second time I called he acted like he couldn't remember I called him.“What kind of man am I getting married to?” I muttered to myself and closed my eyes still in deep thought. After a short ride we finally arrived at the bar house he said we should

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

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
