A Contracted Affair. ELEVEN
Tristan's pov "I'm glad you do" I replied sarcastically I didn't want to miss out any details so I told her, "It's a family get together party and it's just a week don't worry I'll pay someone to look after your mom" I assured her and her eyes softened. "When are we leaving?" She asked sounding calm this time, "Maybe by weekend I will inform you when we are ready" I replied and she nodded. "So what can I get you?" She smiled softly but I wasn't ready to stay so I waved off her kind gesture, "Don't worry about it I was just leaving" I stood up and she pouted cutely, "Alright if you say so" She stood up to go. "Why don't you just see me off instead?" I suggested and she nodded leading me outside, "So I won't be seeing your annoying face again till weekend?" It sounded like a joke to me so I didn't reply instead I got into my car and whine down the glass. "You meant to say handsome face right?" I smirked and she laughed before she could reply I drove off. I

Adrianna's pov I was waiting at the lobby when the nurse approached me, "Miss you can come with me now" She smiled politely, I followed happy and worried at the same time I was told my mother had some complications doing the surgery but she's fine and stable for now. "Is there any cause to panic?" I asked as she pushed the door to the ward opened, I liked the fact that this ward was much better than the previous one, "She might regain consciousness any moment from now, Maybe today or tomorrow" The nurse informed me trying to get my hopes high. "Thank you so much I really appreciate your help all these while" I knew she was the only nurse who paid me attention when I haven't paid the fees, She took care of my mother and assured me that everything is going to be alright. "It nothing dear, I'm glad you were able to save for the treatment" She patted my shoulder and left me alone with my mother, I sniffled and took her hand studying her face. She looked better than before she wasn't

Chapter Thirteen"Can we sleep now?" I dismissed and she nodded in agreement and I was glad she didn't argue or bring up any other topic, "Can we talk about the big secret now?" She winked and bounced on the bed. Great. I thought she forgot about that now I have to start from the beginning, "I made a stupid but good mistake" I stated and she frowned trying to make sense of my comment. "I met this guy and..." "Hope it's not what I'm thinking?" Her face lit up with expectation, "What are you thinking?" I asked in a nonchalant tone. "Did you fuck him?" Her eyes widened and I roll my eyes, "No I accepted to be his fake wife for two years" I blurted out and she gave me a weird look. "Who is this guy?" She stressed the word guy, "His name is Tris tan Ford and he is the CEO of TitanCorp" I explained and she raised an eyebrow at me, "The Tristan I know is a freaking billionaire and won't approach someone with such a awkward proposal" She exclaimed and I was getting bored if she doesn't be

Chapter Fourteen Adrianna's pov Kristanna left before I woke up and she left a note saying she needed to be somewhere important, She didn't go deep into the details but it looked really urgent. "Is this about her new boyfriend?" I decided I'll give her a call later, I took my phone from the bedstand and my eyes flew open. It was Tristan he has been calling and left numerous text messages for me, I felt a knot on my stomach what does he want from me so early this morning. I was about to call when he started calling again, "Hello?" I answered, "Where are you I'm at your door" His arrogant voice pierced my ears, Did he just say he was at my door. I rushed out to and scrutinize the living room, Luckily Kristy always love keeping the place neat so I was relieved, "What is he even doing here?" I look outside my window to see two cars packed outside, He had his back on the wall close to my door. I opened the door and he hesitated before coming in, "To what do I own this pleasure?" I as

Chapter Fifteen Tristan's pov I placed a call through to Adrianna and she wasn't picking up, I was worried did she decide to ditch me after paying for her mother's hospital bills or was it because of my request for a week vacation with my family. I told my father I was bringing her with me for the golf meeting because he insisted on visiting her in her house, I convinced him there was no need I will just bring her to him instead. "Prepare the car we're taking a drive out" I said to my personal guard, I'm taking them with me because we were going to the infamous De Luca family mansion. I knew taking Adrianna there was a big risk but it's better than creating suspicions for my dad, I hopped into the car and we drove straight to her apartment, "Was she with a guy?, Maybe I should have digged deep in her relationship life" I sighed wondering why I was letting that bother me its not like I'm marrying her for real, It was all a facade but I'm paying her pretty well for her service why t

Adrianna's pov "Can I steal her away for a moment?" Tristan asked his father when we were finally alone, "You really can't do without her huh, I was going to follow you to her house to pick her up this morning but before I could tell you, You already zoomed off to your beloved" Mr Ford laughed at his own joke I was sick and tired of all of this I couldn't forced a smile or even laugh. "Don't worry dad I'll be right back, you can't blame him for being so clingy" I joked and his dad laughed hard, "You are right dear" He smiled and let me go. "Tell your friend to stop winking at me it's disturbing" I complained as soon as we were out of my father's sight. "Then stop looking at him" He snapped and I frowned. "When are we leaving this place?" I asked , "I pay you for this shit so shut up and stay close" He ordered and I was stunned by his outburst. I couldn't believe it I was beyond speechless and I controlled my shaky hands not to slap his arrogant face, Does he think he can hold or

Adrianna's povI just stare outside the window as we drove pass the tall trees, I knew I was in this shit already there is no turning back, Not now. Not when we are just getting started. The driver parked the car and I hopped out without waiting for him to say any shit,"Don't let me come get you my self by weekend" He yelled after me I could have sworn he said that with a smirk, I hate this guy with my whole being, How can he threaten to kill me because I refuse to be his puppet. Is he also a mafia like the De Lucas or was he just trying to scare me so I would take this serious, Either ways he is a psychopath why didn't he just get married to someone instead of getting a substitute. I saw a note on the floor and it was from Kristy, "Why didn't I notice this before I left this morning" She made coffee for me as usual but I wasn't seeing anything on the table. "Was it the coffee that jerk was sipping this morning?" I groaned as I recalled he was actually the one who drank the coffee,

Chapter Eighteen Tristan's pov She was still fast asleep when we were half way to LA, I let her sleep on my shoulder which I would never would have allowed if it was someone else. I knew I was starting to have a soft spot for her and I somehow wanted to take the risk, Back when she walked up to me at the airport, I had to control myself from staring at her. It's crazy each time I see her it always feels like the first time meeting her, Those desert brown eyes are alluring and I'm curious to find out more about her. I don't know why I feel this way maybe it's because I would be married to her for two years, I'm starting to think I made a mistake making it a two year contract, I felt her head rolling off my shoulder so I placed my hand to hold her in place. What's wrong with me, I sighed and slowly my head landed on hers and I slept off, I was waken to a tap on my shoulder I opened my eyes to meet with her gaze. "Do you have my glasses?" She asked and I blinked awkwardly before ha

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
