A Contracted Affair. Sixty three
Adrianna’s povI don’t know what was going on between both of us at this point all I know is that I didn’t want to release myself from his grip. “Oh sorry.” Tristan said to me and finally released me from his grip. I couldn’t look at him in the eyes because I don’t know why but I felt like I wanted to be around him for long. “Are you okay?” Tristan asked, I immediately snapped out of my thought and summoned the courage to raise my head and look at his face. “I'm fine, thank you very much for understanding me.” I said to him and took some steps backwards so I can leave. “Do you care for some tea?” I halted the moment I heard the question he asked. I was excited to say yes but I controlled the excitement because I don't know why I'm suddenly excited to spend more time with him. “If you don't mind.” I replied him and let out a soft smile, with my hands in my back pocket. We both walked inside the house. The moment I got in I sat down on the couch and looked around the house, I've not

Adrianna’s povI ended the call immediately, still in shock. I can't believe I called Tristan. It was supposed to be Kristina. I felt shy and embarrassed at the same time, that's what happens when one is too excited. I sat on the couch tiredly and placed my hand on my head. It's two days to my wedding now and I'm not even sure I'm making the right decision, but my thoughts no longer matter because I already signed the contract with him and I have to get married to him no matter what. I heard my phone beep and I thought it was a random text then I realized messages kept popping in which made me wonder what was going on. I stretched my hand toredly and picked up the phone. The moment I opened it I noticed that I have been added to a group chat. “What's going on?” I asked myself, still in shock. I scrolled on the group and realized they were all congratulating me for being engaged to a billionaire.“How did they even find out?” I asked myself while I was still scrolling through the cha

Adrianna povI was done arranging my stuff into the box and the can was already waiting outside, I can't believe I'll be away from my mom for five months. I hugged her very tight when I was about to leave the room.“Mom, don't forget your medication,” I said to her after hugging her. I never knew it was going to be this hard to leave the house with my mom alone with a caretaker. “I am going to take care of myself don't worry about me and focus on your work.” My mom said to be calmly, I know she was also trying not to tear up, I could tell she was also missing me already, so much that she didn't want to part ways with me.“I'll call every day to check up on you.” I said to my mom and gave her one final hug before walking out of the room. I don't know if my mom is ever going to figure me out the day she gives out that I've been lying to her all these while. I wonder how she's going to feel when she finds out one day that this trip is for my wedding and honeymoon.I got out of the house

Tristan pov“She can be this playful?” I smiled as I watched her through the CCTV footage around the house. After smiling for a while I came back to reality and frowned. “Why am I smiling?” I closed the tab and dropped it on the table, the moment I dropped it I couldn't stop hearing her voice in my head so I decided to place a call across to her.****************After speaking to Adriana on the phone I let out a soft smile and headed to the room.“Sir.” I halted the moment I heard my Secretary call me. “It's ma'am.” I can't believe she called my secretary because I refused to pick her calls. Tell her I'm asleep.“I can hear you clearly.” I heard her from the phone, I can't believe he already picked the call. I was so pissed so I just collected it so that I'll not get an earful on my wedding day. “I'm very busy at the moment, that's…”“Keep quiet and listen to me, I agree to the small wedding.” I was amazed that my mom finally agreed even though I already lied to Adriana that she

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
