Chapter Fourteen Adrianna's pov Kristanna left before I woke up and she left a note saying she needed to be somewhere important, She didn't go deep into the details but it looked really urgent. "Is this about her new boyfriend?" I decided I'll give her a call later, I took my phone from the bedstand and my eyes flew open. It was Tristan he has been calling and left numerous text messages for me, I felt a knot on my stomach what does he want from me so early this morning. I was about to call when he started calling again, "Hello?" I answered, "Where are you I'm at your door" His arrogant voice pierced my ears, Did he just say he was at my door. I rushed out to and scrutinize the living room, Luckily Kristy always love keeping the place neat so I was relieved, "What is he even doing here?" I look outside my window to see two cars packed outside, He had his back on the wall close to my door. I opened the door and he hesitated before coming in, "To what do I own this pleasure?" I as
Chapter Fifteen Tristan's pov I placed a call through to Adrianna and she wasn't picking up, I was worried did she decide to ditch me after paying for her mother's hospital bills or was it because of my request for a week vacation with my family. I told my father I was bringing her with me for the golf meeting because he insisted on visiting her in her house, I convinced him there was no need I will just bring her to him instead. "Prepare the car we're taking a drive out" I said to my personal guard, I'm taking them with me because we were going to the infamous De Luca family mansion. I knew taking Adrianna there was a big risk but it's better than creating suspicions for my dad, I hopped into the car and we drove straight to her apartment, "Was she with a guy?, Maybe I should have digged deep in her relationship life" I sighed wondering why I was letting that bother me its not like I'm marrying her for real, It was all a facade but I'm paying her pretty well for her service why t
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
