Chapter Eight Adrianna's pov I was still fast asleep when I heard my phone ringing and I thought it was my alarm, I groaned as glimmers of sunlight filled the room. I reached out to my phone without finding out who was calling so early in the morning "Hello?" It sounded like a question instead. "Change of plans meet me at the office in 15 minutes" I heard his cocky arrogant voice before I could reply he hung up on me "What an asshole, if he thinks I would be his obedient lapdog then he must be mistaken" I proceeded with my sweet sleep when I remembered he was also doing me a favor. I groaned getting of the bed sluggishly while heading for the bathroom, After having a cool shower I ransacked my tiny closet for a presentable dress I only found one. It was a wine color round neck gown my mom got it for me when I was still in college, it wasn't that pricey but it was more than precious to me I only wore it once during graduation. I picked it up and put it on before applying some
Chapter Nine Adrianna's povI was lead to a big bathtub filled with white fluid it looked a lot like milk. "This is the clarifying body milk bathtub and we have others like the mud bath tub and the oil bathtub, Which one would you like to try miss?", I was completely speechless the kind of lifestyle I watched in movies was right before me in reality, I wanted to scream so badly till my throat ache but I need to keep it together. That's right breathe in and out then I replied like any rich young lady would, "Which one do you recommend?" I said in a cold manner and they smiled at me looking pleased with my question little did I know I was going to pay for that later. "This one miss it's the best in the country" They hyped and I made a not so convince expression so they went on blabbering till I concurred. I was told to strip and soaked myself inside the milk for like twenty minutes, being a lady isn't that easy this was the longest boring minutes of my life. What's the need for
Chapter Ten Adrianna's pov I watched them drop their equipments on the sofa and bowed in unison, I asked them to sit and wait for me so I can eat dinner before leaving I can't be in a hurry while that jerk is sitting comfortably in his house. I prepared a short meal and ate to my satisfaction before turning my attention towards them, "Miss we have to wait a bit before dressing you up" The fashion stylist said and I gave her a confused look. "What do you mean?" I asked wondering if they knew what they were doing are they not in a hurry. "I don't want your figure to be ruined by that" She pointed at my stomach which had a slight bump and I scoffed in disbelief, "We'll wait till your food digest" She explained vaguely, I wasn't listening to her gibberish talks I signaled the make up artist. "Do you wanna wait too?" I asked them and they rushed to get their equipments I left the stylist in the living room taking the rest with me inside the room. We were done with the make up befo
Tristan's pov "I'm glad you do" I replied sarcastically I didn't want to miss out any details so I told her, "It's a family get together party and it's just a week don't worry I'll pay someone to look after your mom" I assured her and her eyes softened. "When are we leaving?" She asked sounding calm this time, "Maybe by weekend I will inform you when we are ready" I replied and she nodded. "So what can I get you?" She smiled softly but I wasn't ready to stay so I waved off her kind gesture, "Don't worry about it I was just leaving" I stood up and she pouted cutely, "Alright if you say so" She stood up to go. "Why don't you just see me off instead?" I suggested and she nodded leading me outside, "So I won't be seeing your annoying face again till weekend?" It sounded like a joke to me so I didn't reply instead I got into my car and whine down the glass. "You meant to say handsome face right?" I smirked and she laughed before she could reply I drove off. I
Adrianna's pov I was waiting at the lobby when the nurse approached me, "Miss you can come with me now" She smiled politely, I followed happy and worried at the same time I was told my mother had some complications doing the surgery but she's fine and stable for now. "Is there any cause to panic?" I asked as she pushed the door to the ward opened, I liked the fact that this ward was much better than the previous one, "She might regain consciousness any moment from now, Maybe today or tomorrow" The nurse informed me trying to get my hopes high. "Thank you so much I really appreciate your help all these while" I knew she was the only nurse who paid me attention when I haven't paid the fees, She took care of my mother and assured me that everything is going to be alright. "It nothing dear, I'm glad you were able to save for the treatment" She patted my shoulder and left me alone with my mother, I sniffled and took her hand studying her face. She looked better than before she wasn't
Chapter Thirteen"Can we sleep now?" I dismissed and she nodded in agreement and I was glad she didn't argue or bring up any other topic, "Can we talk about the big secret now?" She winked and bounced on the bed. Great. I thought she forgot about that now I have to start from the beginning, "I made a stupid but good mistake" I stated and she frowned trying to make sense of my comment. "I met this guy and..." "Hope it's not what I'm thinking?" Her face lit up with expectation, "What are you thinking?" I asked in a nonchalant tone. "Did you fuck him?" Her eyes widened and I roll my eyes, "No I accepted to be his fake wife for two years" I blurted out and she gave me a weird look. "Who is this guy?" She stressed the word guy, "His name is Tris tan Ford and he is the CEO of TitanCorp" I explained and she raised an eyebrow at me, "The Tristan I know is a freaking billionaire and won't approach someone with such a awkward proposal" She exclaimed and I was getting bored if she doesn't be
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
