SHAYAN'S POV
The next day I was packing a light bag, I was going to visit my parents. My mom wasn't replying to my text or calls and I had to know how they were faring. I came out of the room with my bag and purse only for me to find Kel outside the room. I had planned on sneaking out, he wasn't even supposed to be hone by now.
"And where do you think you're going to?" He asked angrily
"To visit my parents, now excuse me" I answered trying to get past him.
"And what's the fifth rule?"
I have no idea what the fifth rule is but seeing as I'm about to leave I guess it was the prisoner rule.
"I don't know and I don't care to know" I snapped moving past him.
He forcefully pushed me towards him giving me his famous glare and for a second I was scared, why was he as angry as he is?
"Let me refresh your memory, you're not to leave this house especially without me" he ordered angrily.
His anger was pissing me off, he didn't buy
KEL'S POVI introduced her to some business associates and then my mom had a word with her telling her more like warning her not to hurt me. After that, I introduced her to Carlos my best friend. She didn't look so pleased to see him and I knew it was because he was the one that revealed her secret to me. Carlos was trying to make a conversation but she was just replying in monotone. It was funny watching her being so uneasy.We had to dance and so I took her to the dance floor, the spotlight was on us and it enhanced her features. She was beautiful I'd give her that. When I saw her I was dumbfounded, I know she's pretty but seeing her like this was surprising. We were the centre of attraction as everyone stood watching 'the loving couple' dance.My hand was around her waist holding her firmly while her hands rested on my shoulder as we danced to one of those romantic songs. She was looking away from me and I wondered why. She was supposed to l
SHAYAN'S POVKel and I had no interaction during the week, we didn't even see each other. He left early and came back late. I was always bored having nothing to do. I've taken up a hobby of watching TV or going through gossips about us on the internet. I was even going to ask him about getting a job but I doubt if he'd answer me."We're having breakfast with my mom tomorrow," Kel said announcing his return.I turn shocked to see him as he was home early by seven. "Okay," I replied nonchalantly."We're also taking pre-wedding photos you don't have to worry about clothes it's over there," he said then walked away from the sitting room.I sighed after he left, I was regretting my decision already and we weren't even married. I wanted to work so I could get back the money I used on my father's surgery and give it to Kel so I could end the deal but I knew he wouldn't allow it. He came back a few minutes later showered wearing a white te
SHAYAN'S POV"You wouldn't do that." he sounded so sure as if he knew me too well as if he had a plan. "Don't dare me Adrios, we both know what I'm capable of doing." I threatened further meaning every word I said. "Yeah, I'm sure we both know that you're capable of doing absolutely nothing." he retorted staring at me with hatred. Angrily I got out my phone, went to my Instagram, added a picture of us together and wrote. "It's all fake, Kel and I don't love each other, there's no wedding." I read out to him and all he could do was laugh. "I dare you to post that Miss West." he coldly dared to smirk. I didn't take dares lightly, not especially when I'm angry. He seemed so confident that I wouldn't and I just had to prove him wrong. Just as I was about to post it my phone was yanked away and it was no one other than his mom giving me a hard
SHAYAN'S POV" I just want you to be there, I want you guys to come, I can't do this without you. It would mean a lot to me if you guys come please." I begged and I could see Kel relaxing a bit. I was actually going to tell my parents but knowing what they will think of me stopped me and also I wanted to taunt him. I wanted them to come because this was going to be my first and last wedding, I wanted them to be part of it. "Please leave Shayan and please don't come back except he's gone." she opened the door wide for me to leave and I could see the tears slip from my eyes. "We'd leave but I'd love for you to come, if not for me but Shayan, it would mean a lot to her." he took my hand and I just let him take me out. I was shattered. As soon as we got to the car I started crying. I hated this whole thing, I hate the deal. I hate that I'm getting married to Kel, I hate that my paren
SHAYAN'S POVImmediately 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 taken
KEL'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
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
