Immediately after the wedding, Kel said we had to leave for the honeymoon, I didn't even pack any clothes.
"Tess already packed your bag, I have to be there by 1 pm tomorrow, we have to leave."
"So this is just a business thing then," I asked
"What's it supposed to be? For pleasure?" he asked mockingly and I scoffed.
" I just wanted to make things clear to you that this is just what it is a contract nothing more so don't expect anything."
"If I want anything I know where to go." He replied and I rolled my eyes, typical Kel.
We got into the car and the driver drove us to the airport and we entered his private jet, I tried not to show my excitement too much, this was the first time for me to be on a plane and it was thrilling yet scary.
We were sat beside each other although we wanted to be far away. He had takenKEL'S POVQuick question: How did you find this story, was it through a recommendation, share or someone's reading list? Let me know:-) It turned out that he was having a meeting with some important people and he needed me to take notes mentally."The building would be structured to perfection Romano as long as the contract is ours," Kel spoke in his deep sexy voice"We trust you." Mr Romano said and his two other colleagues nodded.There was a lady in their midst who had been eye raping Kel since and flirting with him but he barely paid attention to her, the poor girl."We can have lunch to fully go over the plans for the building," she suggested batting her eyelashes.She had done things to gain his attention, she purposely dropped her pen and had bent down to pick it, her butt directly facing Kel but he paid no attention to her. Later she opened her first two buttons complaining of the heat. I had nea
SHAYAN'S POVI had no idea where we were going but when we got to our destination I was surprised. It was an island and considering Kel's status it was probably his. We were currently on a yacht to get to his house, the experience was exciting. I turned to look at Kel, he has been on the phone for a while. He takes his work seriously alongside treating me like a maid, hopefully, he wouldn't here. We got to the house and it was amazing, my mouth was left wide open, it's not fair that someone like him gets all this. "You'd catch flies West." Kel walked past me typing furiously on his phone. And if I thought the exterior was amazing, the interior was beyond beautiful. While the exterior had palm trees around, a pool and a hangout area. The interior has a well-structured design. The doors and windows were made of glass and the house was well furnished with expensive-looking cushions, a table and
SHAYAN'S POVThe next day they decided to explore the island, Shayan had thought of all the fun things she could do. Snorkelling, swimming, eating and not to mention sunbathing, she had to work on her tan. They had activities for each day and today was sunbathing. They were outside receiving the free ocean breeze. She was wearing a light blue crop top and dark blue short shorts with her bikini underneath. She also had her shade to prevent the scorching sun from burning her eyes. She relaxed listening to the calm waves, drinking cocktail and reading a book. Kel, on the other hand, wasn't relaxing, he was attending to some issues with his resort on this very island. His upper body was naked but he had on a short and his shade too. Once he had finished doing what he was doing, he turned to look at Shayan, how relaxed she was and he decided to join in but soon fell asleep due to exhaustion. Shayan was bored, the book of
SHAYAN'S POVDuring the lunch break, we were still both busy, he had been getting multiple calls and deals so we barely talked. "Don't you think we should get a break?" I suggested and he didn't even look at me from the papers he was signing. "We have to finish this today, there's no break," he said and I whined but he didn't even pay attention to me. Finally, finally, I finished going through and reviewing the files by eight and I was famished, he didn't even let someone order food for us and I'm sure he'd make me cook. We left the office by nine because Kel still had things to do and I nearly slept in the car on our way home. "We're going for dinner, go get ready," Kel said as we climbed up the stairs. "What? Out for dinner? I'm stressed as I am and I want to sleep even though I'm so hungry and now I'd have to get ready for dinner add that, the time we'd use in preparin
Summary of Kel's thought over the chaptersI remember when we went over to her parent's house to invite them to the wedding. She had a panic attack before we went in and I wondered what she was so bothered about. I also went into panic mode a bit, I didn't like seeing her like that whether I hated her or not, it always scared me so I said soothing words to her, telling her to think of good things, it helped her before. When the door was opened by her mother she nearly threw us out. I know they never liked me but this was wrong. Like I did something wrong to them, I only broke up with their daughter so what's the deal?I had to sound like I loved her to convince them to attend the wedding. There was something about the way they talked to her as if she committed a crime and I had something to do with it. I felt like there was something that happened that they blamed me for.When she started crying I couldn't help but wrap my arms ar
SHAYAN'S POVToday was a Saturday which I was so grateful for. Since I started working with Kel over a month now I woke up early and slept late and it has been taking a toll on me. Kel and I only talked when there was need to. He was really professional in the office, no one will even guess that we knew each other much less married.I got out of bed and did every thing I needed to do. I wore a big blue shirt and sweatpants. I really liked big things because it's just so comfy. No pun intended. The clothes were way better than the ones I had been wearing to work. I had organised a vacation for my parents and they'd be leaving today. It was more of a thank you for coming to the wedding and for taking care of me thing. I know how much I've stressed my parents over the years and how they've been helpful so I planned a one month vacation for them in a resort, at least they could have some time for themselves doing what they want not taking care of me or Evie.&nb
SHAYAN'S POVThe next week I decided to ask Kel for a nanny or someone who could stay with Evie during the week. I dropped her off at Rosie's every day and I felt like I was bothering her since they were preparing for the wedding. Kel was at the pool area making a phone call and he raised his eyebrows questioningly as he saw me. I told him I'd wait till the call ends, I was thinking he'd end the call immediately, I ended up waiting for ten minutes."So what do you want to say?" he asks"I was wondering if I could get a nanny for Evie and maybe get the helps back. ""Then what are you going to be doing? " he coldly asked"I'm working Kel. There's no time to clean and cook. " "Then map out time. I'm paying you after all. I'd see to the nanny.""Are you his maid?" Evie asked coming out of nowhere "Evie, you don't chip in when others are talking," I warned "She's my wife Evie, she has to do thes
The next day at work was hectic. I had been answering calls, emails, preparing for meetings. There was a problem with the hotel Kel was building in Paris and there was a probability that he was going to go there to fix it. "How can you tell me that? we had a deal" he shouted hitting the table furiously "Figure it out how to fix it then," he ordered harshly "I'm going to call in an hour. If it's not resolved I'd come to Paris and so help me God when I find you there. " He ended the call and looked at me, it was time for him to lash it out on me. "Go get me coffee," he ordered angrily "This would be the third coffee this morning. It's not good for you." I advised "Go get me the damn coffee. I didn't ask for a doctor or a nutritionist." he coldly said"Well, I didn't sign up to be your errand girl. You want coffee, you get it yourself." I said folding my hands.
I suggest listening to James Arthur certain things when you get to the middle of the chapter.Shayan's POVKel gave my hand a small squeeze and silently begged me with his eyes to hear him out. I nodded as he gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I gave him a small smile which he returned and made his way out of the room patting Jess on the back.There was a moment of awkward silence as he struggled to get his words out. I knew he had been trying to get my attention for some days but couldn't bring himself to talk to me and now that he finally mustered the courage to he was speechless."I don't even know where to start." The tone of regret in his voice didn't go undetected. "I'm sorry about what happened. It's something I'd regret for the rest of my life. I was blinded by greed, anger and jealousy. I wanted what Kel has, I felt inadequate and unloved and it made me do something I didn't even think I was capable of doing. I'm deeply sorry and
There seemed to have been a moment of confusion, the gunshot was fired but two people seemed to have been on the floor, the blood was oozing but a body laid on the floor almost lifeless.Kel's POVI've never seen someone that drives as slow as Williams. He drove as though there was no emergency whatsoever and to top it all there was traffic. Oh the agony of being stuck in traffic when you had a place you desperately needed to be. It was in times like this I wish that cars could fly and just land where you need to be or I could teleport. Crazy right, but right now it seemed like the best option but I had no power whatsoever. My whole body was itching from sitting and doing nothing about the situation. I felt like getting out of the car and running to the location. I had to see her, I had to make sure she's okay. "Calm down Mr Adrios, from what I gathered your wife is fine."I don't know whether he was trying to calm me down because his tone soun
Jess POVI sat at the club two months ago drowning my sorrow and pain. It was one of those days when mum had chastised me over something I couldn't do right, she was always comparing me to Kel. The perfect son, he could do no wrong in her eyes while I was the imperfect one, the one she always had something against. Nothing I did could please her.All her love was rendered to Kel and Tess. I loved my twin but Kel, that was another story. I don't think I've ever liked him. Yes he tries to play the father figure but that is overbearing. He's never going to be a father to me, he's never going to give me that fatherly love I so craved for. There was a time we were really cool, the time in high school when he was dating Shayan. He was more open and sensitive to the feelings of others, more empathetic. He was always there for me when I needed him, attended my games, played the fatherly role well. But once he and Shayan were done he returned to his cold self, shutting ever
KEL'S POV It has been two hours, two long hours since I saw her, it was driving me crazy, I wanted to pull my hair out and scream out in agony. I was disoriented. With what the officer has been saying I've been suspecting Jess. Everything pointed to him, he could have been his accomplice but he has an alibi, his girlfriend. I didn't know what to think anymore, I raked my hand through my hair letting out a scream. Fvck! This whole thing is killing me. What could be his reason? Could he have done that?"Calm down bro... You'd see her soon." Jess said brushing my shoulder. I surely hope so because I might as well punch someone in the face. "What do you think he wants?"I asked gauging his reaction. "I don't know." He shrugged then looked away. I wanted to hit something badly. I was finding it hard to keep it in. "I'd be right back." He excused himself out of the room. I needed t
Tess loud shriek was what drew every other person's attention to us. "What's wrong?" My mom asked looking at Tess but she said nothing. How do I break the news to them, especially to Evie and her parents? " Kelvin where's Shayan? Evie keeps on asking for her." Her dad spoke up."Tess please take Evie to her room" Tess carried Evie from Shayan's dad and went upstairs, I could see the guards following them. Heck, what if one of them was in it too. I don't even know what to do. " Uhmm...she...she was... kidnapped." I finished, slurring the words not looking at their faces, I felt so ashamed right now. I wasn't able to protect her."She was what?" Her mother let out a scream"Do you have any idea who did it?" Her dad asked calmly and I nodded. " Let's all go inside so we can talk about it." My mom suggested and we nodded following her in. Onc
My heartbeat turned frantic, I searched everywhere for Evie until I found her playing with Jess and Tess. My parents were behind them watching Evie, everything was fine. A horrible scene just played in my head, was I going crazy already. I couldn't wait for this day to end already. Kel spotted me from the corner of his eye and came to meet me. He was smiling until he saw my expression and a worried look took over."What's wrong baby?" He touched my face staring at me intently.He pulled me close to him, his hands encircling my waist. I rested my head on his chest taking in his scent and sighed." It was Carlos, he sent another message." I felt him stiffen, I didn't need to look at him to know that he was pissed." He's not going to come near Evie or you Shay, I won't let that happen okay? Please don't worry too much baby. I'm here for us."Somehow his words relieved me and I sighed, I worry too much but I couldn't help it. I slowl
I became paranoid after I saw the text. He really couldn't come here or could he? I started biting my lips nervously. Should we just cancel the party and take her somewhere private? The knock on the door startled me out of my thoughts."Who's there?" I asked nervously."It's me, Tess." I heaved a sigh of relief as Evie rushed to open the door and it was truly Tess."Shay, what's up?" Kel asked and I showed him my phone.He sighed and locked eyes with me. "Nothing is going to happen, Shay, the security is going to be very tight, we're going to have her around us at all times. I promise you everything is going to be alright." "I hope so Kel. I hope so." I leaned closer to him for a hug."Don't be sad, now go get ready for the princess's party." He said playfully and I chuckled getting up to get the day running. The party was in full swing, everything was going on smoothly so far but I couldn't help but worry. I was a
It was three days to Evie's birthday which is a Saturday and Kel said he wanted to take me out to dinner, so I dropped Evie at my mom's. We've still been getting threats from Carlos about him wanting to hurt Evie. I quit my job with Kel so I could watch her properly since I couldn't trust anyone with her. We rarely went out and I was quite nervous as we were dropping her off at my mom's even though Kel has assured me that there were bodyguards around. "She's going to be fine. I have people watching the premises, nothing would happen to them okay?" He reassured her after we dropped her. She wanted to go with us and Kel explained some things to her before she reluctantly agreed."Okay," I said.Throughout the ride, he had his hands on mine as he drove. I had no idea where we were going but I was excited. He parked and we stepped down. From where we stood to the entrance of the beach house there were petals of roses. I just stood in awe. It was a
I was so nervous, we were appearing on Annie Deserati's show again to confirm the claims. Kel said it was what was best to do. I don't have a problem with confirming it, he could have posted it on social media or better still leave it all to die down until much bigger news comes up but he said we had to do it for Evie. Evie being inquisitive has been asking us about some of the things she heard from his mom. She has been asking if we loved each other when we got married and if our marriage was fake. I'm sure she knows it is since she remembered how we were when she first came so we had to explain our relationship and marriage to her, it was hard for her to understand at first but the point is she understands that we love each other now although it wasn't so apparent in the beginning."I'm so nervous." I inhaled and exhaled."There's no need for you to be baby, if it helps I'd do most of the taking," Kel reassured kissing my cheeks and I smiled."You're so
