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
Tristan's pov"Who would want to be happy about a fake marriage because they are in need of money for their sick mother?" My subconscious reminded me and I sighed, Why was I even comparing Lyla to Anna they are both different people. "Are you listening?" I heard her ask me staring at me with concern laced in her voice, "Yes?" I inquired and she roll her eyes, "Just move your arrogant ass I'm thirsty" She said causally taking her phone, "Did you just call me arrogant?" I couldn't believe my ears and she nodded in confirmation. "Cause that's what you are" She stated without looking at me in the eye, "If you are so brave then say that to my face" I handed the bottle water to her, She accepts and lifted her gaze. I felt my heart skipped a bit when she leaned closer to me our lips were just few inches away, Staring deep into my eyes "You are an arrogant asshole, A pompous jerk that's what you are" She smiled seeing the stunned look on my face as if she read my mind, Her gaze landed on my
Chapter Twenty Adrianna's pov I unpacked both in anger and in frustration, "Look I'm sorry for what happened back in the car, I had no idea I was just.." I heard his annoying voice say, "So you are going to apologize for just what happened in the car, What about what happened before and even now" I'm so pissed right now I could literally kill someone. "I don't understand?" He furrows his brows and I scoff in disbelief, "You..Fine it's fine its all good" I so much wanted to kill him right now, He wasn't that interested in my mood he just drop his luggage. I left for the dressing room in anger I can't stand that asshole, "What if I was naked , I don't understand" I mocked his tone taking off my clothes, My undies were the only thing I had on then I noticed I didn't bring a bathrobe or even a towel. I frantically searched for one in the dressing room then I remembered these rich brats keep their bathrobe in a rack inside the bathroom, I'll have to leave this dressing room and open
Chapter Twenty one Adrianna's pov"Nice to meet y'all" I smiled so much my cheeks hurt but I was good at keeping fake smiles, "Oh dear I love your skin, What skin product do you use?" One of the blonde women asked, She looked sophisticated like the wife of the president I knew I had to make a first impression so I told them. "Oh dear that's a very expensive spa and I heard their products are the best" She smiled widely scrutinizing my outfit, "Is that Valentinos?" She asked pointing at my shoes, it's obvious she's a fashion freak. "Yes it is, The dress is from Channel" I added before she asks, She nodded looking pleased with my appearance then she looked like she noticed something, I was getting uncomfortable with the looks she was giving me. "Your neck is bare, A lady's neck should never be bare you look like you lack nutrition now that's the importance of a diamond necklace, It gives beauty to your neck and makes your collarbones stand out" She lectured and God she wasn't just b
Chapter Twenty Two Adrianna's pov Mira went on and on telling me how she got married and how she gave birth to twins unfortunately they died at birth. I felt sorry for her but I didn't say anything because I thought it would bring up old wounds, "What does your husband do for a living?" I asked stylishly if I was going to get married to his cousin I need to know more about them. "Oh my husband owns Crownway hospital, And I'm the owner of Dymnamites Hall" She said proudly, Whoa this people are damn rich Crownway is the largest and most expensive hospital in the country, And Dynamite Hall is a big shopping mall mostly for the royals and people with wealthy personality. "Mike is part of the popular music band H2O and his networth his over twenty billion, My parents hated his choice of profession at first they thought singing for a living was stupid and try to force him into business, But he left home and ever since then he didn't stop making my parents regret their choice not to sup
Tristan's pov I woke up the next morning to find the bed empty it was just me, No pillows and no Adrianna I found the pillows on the ground close to my side of the bed, "Where could she have gone to so early?" I roll my eyes wondering why I was bothering about her. But wait what if she left when I was still asleep and nobody would notice her leaving, "Shit!" I sprang up from the bed maybe I should have let her have the bed to herself last night. I checked the closet in the dressing room and her clothes were still there, I sighed in relief then it occurred to me what if she left without taking any clothes after all I bought it with my own money. "Damn it!" I opened the door and slammed it shut after me before rushing downstairs my mom and the others at the dining table, Probably setting the table because only the women were there. "Mom have you seen Anna?" I asked perplexed and she gave me a weird look, "You should have at least change into something better before rushing down to
