Adriana povAs the church door opened it felt like my life was flashing through the bright light, I can’t believe I am getting married to a stranger, someone I don’t know we’ll enough. I stood on the same spot for seconds before snapping out of my thought and started walking down the aisle.There was no one to walk with me, in the movies I see fathers do that for their daughters but I have no one to do such for me. I looked at their faces as I was walking in and they looked very happy about the fake wedding. I faced front and sighted Tristan waiting for me, by this move were hurting a lot of people and the day they find out the truth I don’t want to imagine what that day would be like. He grabbed my hands and helped me stand properly the moment I got to the alter for our marriage vows. I looked at his face and he could pass as a very good actor, with the look on his face no one would ever believe that the marriage is a fake one. We said the vows and the congregation clapped excitedl

Tristan povThe next morning. I woke up very early and walked out of the room. The view was so beautiful, I walked around and ordered a cup of coffee from a cafe around. I sat in the cafe and looked around from there, while I was looking around I sighted someone familiar face. “Adriana?” I was shocked to see her outside even playing in the beach because when I was leaving the room she was asleep. I found myself unable to stop looking at her as she was playing with a little child. Her charming innocent smile suits her face very well, while playing she fell on the floor. “She’s so clumsy.” I muttered to myself and smiled. I suddenly felt my cheeks were hurting that’s when I realized I’ve been smiling the whole time she was playing. I snapped out of it immediately and walked out of the cafe so i can see more beautiful places around. I have always wanted to visit such beautiful place but I just never had the chance too because I’m always very busy with work now i have the chance I’m

Adriana povThe honeymoon has been going well so far, I have seen a lot of beautiful places that I never imagined I’ll see because if the kind of family I come from. But everything hit hard when you see a beautiful view, you begin to imagine what it would have been like to be born rich. Looking at those rich kids with their parents made me feel really down. “They look so cute.” I muttered to myself and smiled. “What are you doing here all by yourself?” Tristan asked me and sat beside me, I turned to look at him with a smile on my face then looked away. “You know the day before our wedding, you were so scary.” I turned to look at Tristan with a smile on my face. I don’t know if he’s going to pick offense in what I just said to him but I know that somehow I had to tell him how I felt that day. “Was i?” He asked with a smile on his faces I couldn’t stop staring at him because he surprises me a lot, sometimes he’s cold, sometimes he’s warm. There was a short silence between both of

Tristan pov While I was heading back home I had a lot on my mind, how did dad see her? Why will he see her when she’s dead? I had so many questions to ask because it’s completely unbelievable that my ex wife that died years ago is alive. I remember that night, I got the news about about her death, that was the worst night of my life. I almost forgot I remarried until Adriana placed her hand on mine, I don’t know why she did that, but at this point I need someone by my side more than ever. I realized that I told her about our leaving without telling her the reason which she deserve to know about as my wife. The way she kept staring at me I could tell she was very worried. I finally broke the news to her and she was so shocked that she removed her hand from mine and stared at me for a while. I know I should have told her the moment I found out but it was also shocking to me. “There’s no way she’s the one.” I said with a shaky voice, but if any other person had told me I would hav

Adriana pov The moment I sighted that woman at the wedding I knew there was something strange about her. Even the way she approached me and the smile on her face. I just foukdvt wrap my head around what was wrong when I saw her that day. “I'm so stupid, I should have known she wasn't an ordinary guest. I stood up from the sitting room when I saw how tensed the siting room was and I headed upstairs so I can either take a nap or think clearly. The moment I stood up everyone turned to look at me, I didn't mean to get their attention, I quietly went upstairs without looking at their faces. While I was walking by upstairs I started feeling like a stranger, and somehow I feel like I just stole someone's man. “I shouldn't have agreed to the contract marriage in the first place.” I muttered to myself and tiredly fell on the bed. While I was looking at the ceiling a lot kept flashing through my head because it's obvious this is the end. The love of his life is back so I'm of no use to him

Tristan povThe whole thing is messing with me badly, I can't believe what's going on and I hate that it's getting to me badly. Why is all these happening now? It seems like Lyla is doing all this intentionally because why hasn't she come to explain herself to me, because I need to know how she rose from the dead.“I need to see her myself and confirm all these.” I placed my hand on my head tiredly as I sat on the bed. I suddenly found myself remembering the look on Adriana’s face earlier on the dining, she looked really startled by my reaction. Just when I was thinking about the whole thing I heard my phone ring. I picked up my phone to see the caller but surprisingly it was an unknown number. I wonder who it is now. I was about to ditch the call when I suddenly remembered what’s going on and how the news of Lyla is flying around the house. She might be the one calling. I decided to pick the call, the moment I picked the call I waited to hear the voice of the person first. “Good d

Lyla povI can’t believe my return has shaken them so much that he had to return from his honeymoon, looks like I still have his control button. I picked up my glass of wine and gulped it as I couldn’t help but laugh. The whole thing was so funny to me because the young lady he’s married to don’t know the kind of bond we share, she might be his wife now but I remain the real love of his life. “Let her just watch and see how he’ll come running to me when he finds out where I am.” I laughed out loud with my legs crossed as I thought about the look on his face when he will be on his knees begging me to come back to his life and apologize for thinking I was dead, though I planned the whole thing. “This feels so good.” I muttered to myself feeling on top of the moon. I suddenly remembered the smile on his face when he was getting married to that good for nothing girl. He looked a little too happy and I’m not okay with that. “Oh, I need to forget that day because I might lose it.” I said

Tristan pov It's been days already and suddenly the news of Lyla’s return had died down, I got closer to Adriana. I got to know her better and I found myself getting drawn to her even more. She's been a breath of fresh air to my family, now everyone is always happy because she makes it happen. “I have to keep my distance, and don't know what's wrong with me anymore.” I muttered to myself when I found myself starting at her with a bright smile on my face. I promised Lyla I would never love anyone else except her but after staying indoor with Adriana I realized I have started breaking the promise. “Are you okay?” Adriana asked me with a bright smile on her face. I removed my face immediately because that smile draws me closer to her everytime. “Yeah, I'm good. I just need to use the toilet.” I replied her and stood up from the bed. The moment I got to the bathroom I could breath well. “Get a hold of yourself Tristan.” I muttered. Ever since we got back from our honeymoon, none o
