A Contracted Affair. Seventy seven
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

Lyla PovIt's been days already and Tristan has not bothered to search for me, I can't believe it. I couldn't stop pacing around the room worriedly, I turned to look at Diego still sleeping after the hot night we had together. “Hey.” I went to wake him up because I need someone to talk to right now. He opened his eyes a little and rubbed them too tiredly.“What's going on? Why do you look worried?” He asked me while still rubbing his eyes. I stared at him angrily and hissed. “How do you expect me to fall in love with you when you don't even care about me, and have been brainstorming here but you were just there sleeping comfortably.” I said to him angrily with my hands folded across my chest. Diego immediately got up from the bed so that he can know what's wrong. He looked like actually cares but I can never be with him, he's only going to be body warmer nothing more. “Talk to me, what's going on?” Diego asked me. I sat down on the couch and picked up my phone.“It’s too late to

Tristan pov I can't believe what I just heard, I checked the caller again to confirm if I was really talking to Lyla. Adriana stopped shat she was doing when she saw how worried I looked on the call. “You're good?” Adriana asked me and without replying her I walked out of the kitchen. I didn't know what to tell her and I was trying not to ruin her mood with the Lyla conversation so I had to leave the kitchen but I hope she sees it that way and not think I was snubbing her questions. “Tristan.” My mom called with a bright smile as she was approaching the kitchen but I couldn't reply her. I left the house and started the car immediately. Lyla told me to meet her at a restaurant if I want to confirm she's really alive. While I was driving to go see her I couldn't believe I was hoping it was a spam call or someone else just trying to prank me. “There's no way Lyla is really alive.” I muttered to myself and increased the cat speed. Adriana and everyone at hok kept calling he on phone
