Chapter Thirty Adrianna's pov We made a pretty good team and I most confess he wasn't as bad as I thought, "Come on" I beckoned for him to follow me ignoring the crowd cheering for us to kiss. He just stood there staring and I felt like he was giving me some sort of signal to do something, I stood on my toes and kiss him on his cheek. "That was epic" Maya squealed and pull me into a tight hug, "Good job bro, I thought you were gonna ditch her when they caught up with her" Wilson said, "Whatever lets find the beach house" Tristan dismissed. We got to the beach house and I wasn't surprised to see Elle and Mike together, I feel like she's just being close to Mike because of Tristan, "Look who finally decided to show up" Mike smirked at me ogling at my wet body. "What's that suppose to mean?" I wasn't in the mood for their shitty talks, "You look stressed did you and Tristan fuck under water?" Connie teased and the others laughed. "I'm exhausted" I groan ignoring their stupidity, "M
Chapter Thirty one Adrianna's pov We arrived at the beach house and someone grabbed me from behind, "Tristan stop!" I yelled and he put me down, "What did you buy?" He said circling his hands on the bag. "Nothing for you!" I snapped and gave one of the bags to Maya, "Thanks baby" She smiled "Hey what about me?" Mike asked but I ignored him and handed Tristan the other bag. "Why did you give Maya first before giving me?" Jeez what a jerk, "Ladies first" I roll my eyes, "Fine feed me" He smirks how I wish I could slap that smirk off his face. "I'll feed you instead after all I paid for the food" Wilson smirked and I could feel the heat of Tristan's glare, It was so intense and I could figure out the meaning. "Your eyes are going to fall out brother, Quit prattling and let's get to it" He tried taking the bag from Tristan, "Get off of me punk!" Tristan snapped, "When are we going home I might faint halfway" I whined pouting my lips while Maya laughed. "Soon dear just don't think a
Chapter Thirty Two Tristan's pov I was beginning to loathe Wilson for the way he stares at Adrianna it's always as if he was just meeting her for the first time, I warned Adrianna to stay away from him but she wouldn't listen it was as if I was making a fool outta myself so I knew harsh words would work on her. I didn't expect her to start ignoring me too but either ways I'm cool with it, It's not like I wanted to be close to her when I know she's just a waitress nothing more. She came out of the dressing room putting on a sexy silk night gown and she lay down on the bed ignoring me, I sighed and left for the bathroom only for me to finish bathing and I met her sleeping on the floor. I was having a second thought but I brushed it off and carried her lightweight body to the bed, I used the quilt to cover her and left for the study room I've always love reading since I was a kid and it was an habit I'm addicted to. I wasn't surprised to see Wilson there and I ignored him completely
Chapter Thirty Three Adrianna's pov God I wish I didn't take this shitty job I can't even have my own space I have to share with that jerk, I can't stand him anymore I just need him to get the fuck out of that room. I stayed in the dressing room for what seemed like hours and I opened the door when I noticed he wasn't in the room anymore I came out, I found a note on the bed "When you are done meet us at the gym, It's few walks away from the house" He stated and I roll my eyes why didn't he tell me about this yesterday. I took my bath and searched for any sport activity cloths I can find, I found tight shorts and a tube crop top it fitted my body making me look cute. It was the Adidas designers and I wore the jacket without zipping it, I applied my lip gloss and put on my sneakers then I pack my hair into a messy bun.I left the house wondering how I would locate the gym when I heard someone called me from behind, "Anna?" I turned and it was Mirinda. I wasn't familiar with her an
Chapter Thirty Four Tristan's pov Enrique called me that they were having some complications at the company and my presence was needed, I tried talking to dad about it but he dismissed me saying I should let the contract go. I wasn't the type that easily gives up and I've waited a long time to strike this deal, I was just frustrated that the time I was around they didn't call for the contract. I roll my eyes when Mike approached me grinning like an idiot, "You know that girl from the beach, Your father's Goddaughter I want her number" He said. "Why?" I wasn't interested in his shit, I poured the whiskey on the cup "Look I kinda like her" He added, "Since when do like someone just like?". He tried saying something but his lips on moved, "Seems like someone is having a rough day so early" I heard that punk teased from behind me, He sat down beside me with a taunting smirk. Mike noticed the intense anger in my eyes as I stared at the cup in my hands, "Why don't you find someone els
Adrianna's pov I wore the dress Kristy picked for me with less enthusiasm, I feel so numb I can't even think straight this party isn't what I want right now, I just want to stay at the balcony silently crying my eyes out.I knew mom use to say when life throws lemons at you just make lemonades but what if I don't want lemons and lemonade?, What if I want grapes something entirely different with a good taste I don't want all of this. The luxurious lifestyle is costing more than I imagined, No peace no warmth no nothing I can't even make friends with anyone cause I don't know who to trust, "Fuck this rich ass people!" I spat and let me hair down for the first time in months. Yes I'm going in like this my outfit screamed hot and expensive and I like it, The little silver dress hung on my curves it wasn't handless but the shiny threads doesn't count as a hand. The slit is massive it almost reached my pants but it was made to show more skin so what was I expecting, The purse is just as
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
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
