"Are you hungry? Should we go to our room? " Shayan asked
"She can get her room if she wants to," I suggested, it was not like there wasn't enough room.
"No, thank you," she replied rudely and I gave her this what's wrong with you look while Shayan scolded her.
She mentioned something about the house being beautiful and when Shayan said it was mine she said it wasn't then stuck out her tongue at me. She was such a kid and I laughed at her childishness. I thanked her smiling and she said I shouldn't smile at her that she didn't like me and I just remembered Shayan.
My friend Carlos came over and I knew
I was talking to my mom who was telling me about their trip. The door closed and I turned to see Kel entering the house. He looked bad, bad would not even describe how he looked. I had a suspicion of what happened. "So you went over to his place to beat him up?" I asked confirming my thoughts. I don't get why he would do that, I don't know if he was starting to care or he was feeling guilty."Why did you do it?" I asked sitting him down. "You know why," he replied shrugging "I don't," I said playing dumb."He did things to you, I can't let him get away with that and the fact that I believed him also thinking he was my best friend so yes we fought because of you. Nobody touches my woman and gets away with it. And I haven't even touched you so you get my frustration." he jokingly said but I know he meant it. He called me his woman and he fought
"Hey babe, do you need help with anything?" Kel asked sneaking behind me kissing me on the cheek. "No, I'm almost done," I answered smiling. I was making dinner for us on Sunday night, Evie was at home and we felt like a real family. Throughout the week we spent time bonding. After dinner, we snuggled on the couch to watch a movie. We were sharing a blanket and munching popcorn. I rested my head on his shoulder while carrying Evie, he had his hand around my waist leaning in on me. It was like a family night and it made me wonder how we would have been if I had told him if we hadn't broken up. Evie would have had the chance to grow up with her father and Kel would have been there for us. Since Kel and I kissed and we've been on a good note I've been feeling guilty. I wanted to tell him but I didn't want him to go back to hating me. I couldn't concentrate on the movie and kept on thinking of how I'd tell them.&n
I don't think he heard or he chose not to because he just pulled me to his laps so that I was facing him and then he wrapped his arms around me. I found comfort in his embrace but the guilt was killing me."I want you to enjoy yourself on this trip, do whatever you want to do but please don't push me out." he softly said stroking my hair. "Would you do that for me?" God, his voice was so sexy and him speaking softly as he did was doing things to me. "Would you?" he asked again. I guess I could try."Yes. I'd do that." I said and he let out a smile. "Thank you," he said kissing me on the lips, I'm sure it wasn't meant to be long but it eventually was. "I love kissing you," he admitted smiling while stroking my hair. I said nothing, just smiled. I wasn't going to tell him but I did too. We talked for a while getting to know more about each other but never mentioning anything about the pas
####CHAPTER 34Kel has been very caring lately, he's attentive, takes his time with me. Wakes me up with breakfast in bed and roses. I know he's trying but some things need to be amended. So today we're shopping. We got to one of the most popular clothing store Chanel and Hermes. We were the only ones in the store. Kel insisted I got anything I want and I had to show him how it looked, it was kind of awkward at first but later it was cool. I got a lot of accessories and perfumes. We also went shopping for Evie too. On our way home we visited a local shop down the street and I bought some toys for Evie. She had gift items, souvenirs and I bought some for my parents. I was standing in front of the mirror checking something when I spotted Kel behind me. He placed a gold necklace with a heart-shaped pendant on my neck. It was beautiful, simple but beautiful."Thank you," I said turning to face him."No, thank you for giving me a chance. I know I've been
Later the next evening Kel and I were watching a movie after I had tucked Evie to bed by reading her a bedtime story. I and Kel's hands were intertwined and my head laid on his shoulder."Let's go out on a date tomorrow," he said looking up at me. "I'd love to but I can't just leave my... " I stopped realising what I could have said, I nearly said, daughter. "I can't just leave Evie alone Kel." "And who told you she'd be alone? I'd have someone watch over her." "This place is foreign Kel, do you trust the person. I don't want anything to happen to her." "I don't think you trust me if you'd ask that. I know she's important to you and that makes her important to me. Nothing will happen to her." There was something about the way he said it with all sincerity that made me admire him more. I like the fact that he understood how important she is to me and cared without e
I became speechless after that, how the hell did he find out? As if reading my mind he threw the DNA test at me."Kel...I..." I stuttered not knowing what to say."You had a child for me and you never told me about it even when she was right under my nose. " he bellowed. " I was going to tell you today." I managed to say, I felt like I'd cry anytime soon, this wasn't how I planned this to go."Today? Today? After she has been with me for how many months now? After how many years you were going to tell me today?" He angrily asked. I understood how hurt and angry he was, he has the right to be anyway."I'm sorry. I didn't know how to tell you, surely you didn't expect me to tell you immediately we met.""Why didn't you tell me immediately you knew Shayan, why?" He shouted"Well I was going to tell you but then you broke up with me calling me all sorts of things. You called me a cheat, a gold digger, a slut
#####CHAPTER 37KEL'S POVI planned a trip for us back to Paris because I felt guilty that she didn't get to explore the city when last we came. Now I understand what she meant when she said "You don't know yet, you'd hate me when you do and leave."I should have asked about it when she said. " You weren't there Kel, you weren't there when we needed you the most."The night of our date was when I became suspicious when Drake pulled me to talk." Dude, you never told me you had a daughter. " he seriously said" That's because I don't," I replied chuckling."Oh." He said looking at me confused. " Who's the little girl then? "" She's Shayan's sister," I answered and he laughed" Did she tell you that cause I'd have sworn that she's yours? " I stopped to think. Shayan never told me that Evie was her sister, I assumed that Jesus, could the speculation be true?I
Shayan's POV I woke up the next morning, looking around I realized I was still sitting on the floor with Kel's arm around me. I sighed remembering yesterday's event but smiled a little when I saw Kel. I remembered how he came back last night and cleaned my injury up also apologizing. I wasn't expecting him to and the fact that he did meant a lot plus he said he doesn't hate me. Maybe there's still a chance of us building a family together. I just had to get Evie to forgive us. I made a mental note to call my mom and give her updates since I had asked for her opinion on how to tell them."Hey," Kel said and I turned to see he was already awake."Good morning." I greeted him, I wanted to ask if he slept well but decided against it knowing we all didn't."What are we going to do?" He asked gesturing at the door"I don't know," I answered sadly. He got up and pulled me along. He knocked on the do
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
