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

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 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 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,

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
