A Contracted Affair. Twenty Four
Chapter Twenty Four Adrianna's pov What's he doing here after making a mockery out of me, Claiming to own me like I'm some sort of property just because he pays me. Now I regret making breakfast he didn't apologize for what he did last night and he was being cynical about everything, I woke up this morning and all the pillows were gone at first I thought maybe he decided to throw them off the bed. Only for me to find his hands wrapped around me and his palm cupped my breast, I was livid but I didn't wake him up I left the room to clear my head when I saw the chefs preparing breakfast, I just agreed on helping I didn't care about what the rest would think but I didn't expect him to be so cruel. "What happened?, Is it because of what I said at the dining table?" He asked in a soft tone but I refuse to be weak, I refuse to give in to his pretence I can't keep letting him win because he brought me here and fuck those stupid feelings I was started to grow for him. "Adrianna?" He calle

Chapter Twenty Five Adrianna's pov I froze when he said but I quickly composed myself I didn't want to blow up my cover after all Tristan pays me for stuff like this, "I actually thought I was sitting with an adult maybe I was wrong" I muttered to his hearing and he put his phone away. "Tell me why will I fake getting married to someone, For what?. Money?, I have a lot so why are we having this conversation" I noticed the smirk on his face, "Did I say anything else?, I think you are taking it seriously and it just confirmed my suspicions" He added and I chuckled pretending to find his words funny. "Now I get why Tristan hates you, You act like you're smart and you definitely aren't close to smart" I've got to give him the credits though he is damn smart and also witty. "Instead of insulting me why don't you proof it" He said the smug expression on his face remained and I felt like slapping his handsome face. "Alright" I laughed and I knew Tristan was watching us, Damn I never tho
A Contracted Affair. Twenty Six
Chapter Twenty Six Tristan's pov I was mad at Adrianna for sitting with Wilson I even tried giving her a signal but she ignored me, I drove the van in silence I wonder what that asshole was saying to her. She was smiling and laughing something she would never do with me, I'm not jealous that would be ridiculous I just hated seeing them together. I remembered Lyla saying she likes Wilson most of all my cousins because he is as handsome as me, Does Adrianna feel that way too. I clenched my hands on the steering wheel trying to control my anger, Maya added more fuel asking those absurd questions. I was shocked Adrianna answered them correctly and I couldn't come up with a correct answer for hers, Did I make myself so obvious she observed so much with the little time we spent together. I knew she loved money but I just added physical touch even when I noticed she isn't the clingy type, She was obviously angry and embarrassed at my reply but I care less about it. She shouldn't be

Chapter Twenty Seven Adrianna's pov This useless jerk piece of shitty asshole!, It took all I had to control my emotions this was it. "You know what I'm going back home first thing tomorrow morning" I threatened and he chuckled. "Like I care, Just get ready to pay back all you own me" He chuckled and raise his fingers up, "Twelve million dollars" He counted and my eyes widen, How the hell did I spend so much money in such a short period of time. "That's outrageous!" I flared up and wore a fake smile when I saw Maya coming towards us with a concern look on her face, Great we created a scene. "Oh really I didn't calculate your mother's bills with it.." He stopped seeing my demeanor change suddenly, I gave him a intense eye contact trying to signal him of Maya's presence. He understood me and wrap his hand round my waist staring deep into my eyes, Gosh this feels so awkward I felt a knot in my stomach. "Are you guys arguing about that bitch?" Maya asked getting to us, "Yeah Anna t

Chapter Twenty Eight Tristan's pov I smirk at her confused face and walked pass her, If she wanted to spend her time with Wilson then so be it. Elle smiled at me and I returned the gesture it's not like I'm enjoying it I just wanted to make Anna mad. "So you wanna spend some time alone with me?" She offered flirting with me, Why does she always have to ruin the mood, "You should stay with Mike he's single" I replied and she roll her eyes. "I'm not interested in him and he's too much of a jerk" She remarked, Well that's none of my business I glanced at Anna and she was talking to a man. Seriously!. I caught up with them and I could hear their conversation, He wants to sign her as a model for his brand and she was explaining that she wasn't a model. "Is everything okay?" I asked taking her hand, She shot me a deadly glare as if to ask what I was doing, "No problem at all her I was just discussing business with her" He claimed and I nodded. "She doesn't work for cheap brands and

Chapter Twenty Nine Tristan's povAnna surprised me by jumping on the white tiles in a skillful manner, She stretch her hands for me to grab them but I was too proud to take her hand, That's my job to look after her not the other way round so I jumped on the black tile and it shattered instantly I found myself inside the warm stinky water. Anna gasp instead of leaving me she went on her knees trying to reach me," What are you doing?. Go! " I yelled but my voice couldn't be heard because of the wild cheers from the crowd, I felt embarrassed but she ignored me. "Take my hand Tristan I can't leave without you" She said and something inside of me flipped, What's wrong with her. "One minutes left" The crowd reminded us and I saw how determined she was to save me so I accepted, We stood on the same tile and she smiled at me a genuine smile. "Don't worry I already know the trick, Most of the tiles are thick and some aren't just follow my lead" She instructed and I chuckled nodding my he
A Contracted Affair. Thirty
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 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
