A Contracted Affair. Thirty Six
Tristan's pov I searched around for Adrianna but I couldn't find her, "Mira have you seen Anna?" I asked her cause I'm pretty sure I left her in her care, "No she said she had stuff to take care of" She replied nonchalantly, I was started to get worried did someone kidnap her?. That would be ridiculous right?, I walk towards the empty hallway leading to the garden, Then I heard voices coming from the garden "Are you serious!" It was Anna and she sounded pissed. I increased my pace and I saw Wilson with his hands on her chin forcing her to look at him, Anger clouded my whole being as I walk towards them, "Tristan!" Anna looked relived to see me, I yanked her off his grip "Go back and join the others" I ordered and she lingered for a while. "I'm not comfortable with those men staring at me" She pursed her lips after saying that, "Then you should have dressed properly" My gaze was still on the jerk smirking in front of me. "But..""Go wait for me I'll join you soon" I assured her and

Adrianna's pov Well the party wasn't so bad after all I shouldn't have left in the first place giving the asshole the chance to grope me, I was too stupid to notice Wilson was even more worst than Mike. He said he's madly in love with me which sounded stupid to me why bother to tell me about your feelings knowing fully well I'm getting married to your cousin, Tristan didn't look pleased to see me with him. Vincent wasn't so bad either but he's single and Tristan is just all over me, I think he's trying to make it look like I'm off limits for him, It's not like I'm going to run off with his friend before our marriage. Fake marriage to be precise. Maybe running off is a good option for me but I can't, These men are in love with the fake me not the original me. Mirinda insisted on introducing me to the whole guest something Mira didn't bother doing, It's as if I was gaining too much attention so she dismissed me but Rinda is different. "Thank you so much" I said to her when we were

Tristan's pov She is so unbelievable how can I do such a thing and because of what?, I really need to keep my hands in control so I wouldn't receive such insolent words. She glared at me while I squeeze myself on the couch, What's wrong with her I already did what she wanted, "Anything else?" I was forced to ask and she paused. "You should apologize for touching my..." She paused again and hugged the pillow on her chest, "How childish of you" I wanted to say but it's not really her fault either. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I'm sorry for breaking your rules, I'm sorry for touching your flat chest. Are you satisfied now?" I asked and she huffed before heading to the bed. She finally won the bed is all hers now, "Good night" She said surprisingly with a smirk then she turn off the light, Great she's teasing me now I'm starting to regret my decision. I woke up the next day and the bed was empty, it was dressed up neatly as if someone didn't sleep on it last night, She either

Adrianna's pov Phew!. Thank goodness he didn't ask why I was crying and even if he did I wouldn't tell him the truth, So he had someone else he is in love with why not marry her instead of faking marriage with me. I'm just an actress to him and nothing more I'm sure if we get married he'll go to his mistress every night to be with her, What am I even saying I'm the mistress I can't believe I'm going to be the one causing her tears, Should I just quit and tell him to go be with his real girlfriend? But he told me I would pay him everything I own him where would I see such huge amount of money. Wilson is an asshole I'm not scared of his empty threats but Tristan is right I should stay away from them, He was right all these while I should've listened to him, I woke up this morning having a painful headache probably a hangover and I remembered what Wilson said to me about Tristan. I couldn't help it I started thinking about it what if she comes to stay with us after we get married and

Adrianna's pov I stopped catching my breath as we jogged back home, "Wait I will die if we don't rest" I pointed out to the most unreasonable man I've ever met in my life, He is like a fucking robot when it comes to working out. He insisted we do our exercise together every morning at least I was realived cause I didn't want to stay indoor forever eating whatever junk food I want and watching movies or scrolling through the media, I was worried I would be fat before the end of this vacation. Well I'm happy we have few days left now, "You are too lazy for your age" He declared and I shoot at him a deadly glare, "Do you even know my age?" I scoff sitting on the grass. "Trust me I know everything about you" He replied of course he does he freaking investigated me so why not, "What a creep" I said to his hearing and stood up. "Your welcome" He bow mockingly, Ugh I hate this jerk "Get dress as soon as we get home we've some place to be" He said giving me no room for p

Adrianna's povI saw a briefcase beside me and he started calling me on my phone great didn't we just part ways a minute ago, "Yes?" I picked up and his authoritative voice order, "Open the case and choose the one of your choice they're all for you" He said and hang up. I opened the brief case and my lips parted, So many fancy eyeglasses I picked one dark sunglasses with Celine design on it putting it on I gasp taking it off. These are medicated and it would cost a lot of money to make customize medicated eyeglasses from different brands and in different colors. Why will he show me so much kindness when he has a girlfriend somewhere and why does he even care about me so much to go through the stress of making these. "He is not the one going through the stress dummy don't be deceived" My subconscious mocked. "But he's the one paying" I argued back, "His family money he's born rich and you're not" It's a painful reminder so I sigh. That's why I'm here in the firs

Tristan's pov I suggested we have dinner together but she refused saying we should join the others at home, I obliged because she had a point there my father would like to know what happened at the company. We got home and I took my bath before her and after we were done with that I gave her PJs that matches with mine, "Seriously?" She raised an eyebrow. So what smart ass, "You can take pictures if you want" I teased and she cringed glaring at me, "You should be happy to wear the same PJ with me" I pointed out and she roll her eyes. "You wish" She took the PJs from the bed and left for the dressing room, She isn't as bad as I had thought at least she had never tried to seduce me or ask me for a huge amount of money or try to blackmail me, I know I can trust her and I would do anything to make her comfortable with this job. Speaking of which I intend to employ her when we get back home I just have to ask and see if she'll accept, Even Enrique isn't as brilliant as

Adrianna's pov I couldn't even think straight this people are mean and evil its not like I'm hurt but I'm just worried I won't be able to keep my tongue glued to my mouth next time, God knows I wanted to retaliate to Mira's taunts and tell her so many mean stuff and yes I ran but I won't be the one running next time. "Are you okay?" Tristan asked as soon as he shut the door I don't even know what to say or how to reply him, After all they are his family no matter how nasty they are to me I'm the outsider. I ignored him and left for the dressing room to change this awkward PJs I don't even understand what's the point of wearing matching Pjs when we are fake couples, I want to yell at him and transfer my aggression on him but of what use would that be we just bonded a bit today. I'm sure he sees me as a friend now so I don't want to mess that up, "He's only trying to help Adrianna" I mumbled and took off my shirt. By the time I got back to the room he was already sleep

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
