A Contracted Affair. Sixty Seven
Adriana pov“One thousand people?” I shouted on the phone when I heard what Tristan said to me, it's supposed to be a simple wedding but his parents are not ready to hear that, they want it to be a grand wedding looking small.I suddenly remembered my school mates saying they'd like to attend too. I think this is the best time to accept the one thousand and maybe add a few numbers to it as well.“I told her it was too much but..”“No, it's fine, I was actually thinking we'll have up to one thousand five hundred guests at the wedding.” I know Tristan would be shocked to hear what I said because I'm the one that insisted on a small wedding. “Hey, am I speaking to the right person?” Tristan asked for clarity. I know he's just shocked to hear that I plan on having up to one thousand five hundred guests in my wedding when I've been screaming that I want a small wedding. “I think one thousand five hundred guests is not too much for a small fee l wedding, remember who you are, your mom hav

Adrianna pov“Why are you here? We both know you don't like me.” I said to her with my hands folded across my chest. Cassie laughed out loud after hearing what I said to her. I just couldn't hold it in anymore seeing her stand in front of me pretending to be my friend.“Well, you're no longer the poor brat you used to be, look around you, everything here is luxurious so you're qualified to be my friend now.” Staring at her while she was talking made me feel she is more stupid than I ever imagined. “You look like a clown, go take a look at your face in the mirror.” I said to her angrily and walked away. The moment I walked away everything she said in my presence kept ringing in my head. So the reason why she treated me that way was just because I was poor? She made that school a living hell for me.I got downstairs and saw the rest of them eating peacefully while getting along with each other, Cassie just had to leave such a peaceful gathering to come irritated me. “Hey, come join us.

Tristan pov“Hey dad, Good morning.” I greeted as I walked out of it room, it looked like my dad was coming to my room.“Tris, how are you?” He asked as we both walked downstairs. I could tell from the look of his face that he wants to have a conversation with me but I don't think I'm ready for that right now. “I was about visiting you in your room.” Just as I thought he wants to have a conversation with me, how do I escape?“Uhmm, is it very important because I have something important that I need to take care of.” I said to my dad trying to about having the conversation with him. “Yes, it's very important.” I know there's always no way to escape my dad whenever he wants to talk to e. I followed him to the sitting room and we both sat on the couch. “I'm all ears.” I said to him reluctantl. There was a short pause between the both of us. No one was saying anything to the other which was a little awkward. “Dad, you're not saying anything.” I was slowly losing patience with this sile

Adrianna pov“Do you think it's necessary to tell him about it?” Kristina asked, trying to stop me from going to see Tristan. I turned to look at her and let out a soft smile. “What are you saying? He has every right to know.” I said to her and stood up from the couch. I picked up my phone and my bag then walked out of the house slowly, I don't know if what I'm about to do is necessary but I just can't stay without telling him because he has every right to know.The moment I got out of the house I stopped a cab and headed to the address Tristan sent to me. While I was heading there I rested my head on the car seat and remembered the call I placed across to Tristan. His tone and the way he ended the call the first time was so mean and the second time I called he acted like he couldn't remember I called him.“What kind of man am I getting married to?” I muttered to myself and closed my eyes still in deep thought. After a short ride we finally arrived at the bar house he said we should

Tristan povI can't believe I was bothered for nothing. I came all the way here to make it clear to Adriana that no matter what we are going to keep the get married and the contract cannot be terminated only to get here and hear her say something entirely different from what I thought. “You said you had something important to tell me, is this it?” I had to ask again to be sure I heard correctly the first time. “Yes, I don't want it to look like I'm taking advantage of your kindness, I just thought it's only right if I tell you the truth.” Adriana concluded. I can't believe I wasted time trying to bring my friends here to talk about the wedding so that Adriana won't think of changing her mind and terminate the contract. “I knew already you didn't have to…” I paused talking and I realized I just spilled. I turned to look at Adriana and it was obvious she would demand an explanation on how I got to know her friends visited the apartment. “How did you…” “I mean that's my house, I kno

Adrianna pov While I was on my way out of the bar I got a call from Tristan’s mom, and can’t believe she’s having a pre wedding party because I requested for a small wedding. “You’re back…” I couldn’t wait to hear the complete statement because I was in a hurry, I’m not yet a part of the family so I don’t want to give a bad impression. I rushed to the room and removed my dress, rushed into the bathroom for a cold shower and rushed out the moment I was done. I brought out all the dresses in my wardrobe but I was still not satisfied with anyone that I brought out. “I’m losing my mind.” I muttered to myself with my hands on my waist as I was looking at the dresses. I can’t believe I just met with Tristan and he didn’t bother to tell me what his mom was preparing, if he had told me I would have been ready for this. “Can you tell me what’s going on?” Kristina asked me when she noticed how miserable I looked with a bikini on while trying to figure out what I’ll wear to the pre weddin

Adriana povWhile I was on my way to Tristan’s house I couldn’t stop thinking of what the party would look like and how many guests would be there. I placed my hand on my forehead tiredly as I thought about what I’m doing. I suddenly started missing my mom, I wish I had told her the truth. I would have gotten a morale boost from her.I brought out my phone and started looking at her pictures, but can’t believe I told such a big lie to my mom, I don’t think she’ll ever forgive me. While I was looking at the pictures on my phone I suddenly got a text message I checked the message and was shocked to see an alert. I don’t know why he sent it but it was not on the agreement. “It’s not time to get paid yet.” I muttered to myself as I was still looking at the alert on my phone. A call Came in immediately and it was from the sender. “Did you get what I sent to you?” He asked the moment I picked the call. “That was so straight to the point.” I muttered to myself the moment he asked the q

Adriana povI couldn’t summon the courage to go close to him because of how loud his voice was so I ran out of the room. When I got downstairs the party was already a mess and Tristan’s mom was exhausted so I left the house. “My life is a mess.” I muttered to myself as I entered the cab heading back home. I rested my head on the car window as a soft music played in the car. Everything is happening so fast and I’m scared because I’m slowly losing control of my life. Tears welled down my eyes as I was in deep thought. “Ma’am, we’ve arrived at your destination.” The driver announced to me when he stopped the car and noticed I was not stepping out of the car. I snapped out of my thought and looked outside, surprisingly the ride felt short. I got out of the car and slowly walked inside the house. “Wooh, that was quick.” Kristina said to me as I walked in with a glass of juice in her hand, I had no words for her so I quietly headed upstairs, she noticed I was not in a good mood so she d
