Undeniable Attraction

Chapter 12

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 slap as I turned around it was so painful I wanted to cry and Kel was laughing at me.

"And what's this you're trying to do? Ruin my son's life further?"

Ruin his life, how could I possibly ruin it and how did I ruin it?

"I haven't done anything to ruin your so perfect son's fucked up life. I'd advise you Mrs Adrios, oh wait

he never got married to you, don't butt into people's business." I said harshly.

"You... " she shouted raising her hands to slap me which I caught mid-air. I could tell she was very

angry, I didn't mean to say what I said but I have zero tolerance for people I don't like and still get on

my nerves.

"You brat." she angrily shouted glaring at me but I know the anger wasn't that dominant, she was hurt.

Kel was too but I couldn't care less.

"That's enough, if you weren't a girl I'd have beaten the hell out of you. How dare you talk to my mom

that way?" he angrily asked, his eyes shooting daggers.

"How dare she slap me, she started it." I angrily said.

"Get out," he said through gritted teeth. He was fuming. I know how much he loves his mom and can't

stand a word being said against her especially when they mentioned his father. He had beaten up a

guy in high school who called his mother a whore and him a bastard.

"I'm not going to let you ruin my son's life again," she said.

Could someone shut her mouth up, why is she talking nonsense?

"I didn't ruin his life, he ruined mine and he's still doing so now." I retorted.

"Leave," he shouted angrily. We glared at each other before I walked away.

We weren't even married yet look at all the drama. I was looking forward to our wedding. How pathetic

would my life get?

It didn't take a while, Kel and his mother showed up and I could still see how angry he was but he was

hurt too. I felt a little contented that he was hurt, now he has an idea of how he makes me feel every

single time.

"We'd be leaving now, something important came up," Kel said, his voice still glinting with anger.

"Come on stay dear. You haven't eaten, you must be quiet hungry and tired. Shayan dear talk him out."

Kel glanced at me briefly then at his grandma then apologized for having to leave. We said our

goodbyes and left the house. Immediately we got to the car I expected Kel to start ranting but he said

nothing. We got home still nothing, he was beginning to scare me, he should be shouting at me by now.

Did he finally feel that his mom was wrong? I wanted him to shout at me and kick me out. I wanted him

to end the contract.

"We'd be going over tomorrow to go over the wedding plans. I want you to apologize to my mom and

make sure we don't see till then," he said coldly yet calmly.

"Apologize? I didn't do anything to her before she slapped me she should apologize and not me." I

stated angrily but he just walked out.

I hate him and now his mom. They ruined my appetite and I knew I wouldn't be able to eat anything

today no matter how hungry I get. I went into my room and kept replaying all that happened, I didn't

expect today to go well but most especially I didn't expect it to be this bad.

****************************

"So what colour of gown do you want, do you have anything in mind," Tess asked beaming.

"Nothing. I don't just want a white gown and maybe something modern yet simple."

"Great, I have a lot of designs you can pick from, choose the one you love."

She showed me a book full of sketches, different designs of beautiful gowns, I couldn't make my mind

to what I wanted but when I realized that the wedding was fake I decided to just pick the one I like

most. The next thing was picking shoes. I picked matching heels to go with the gown and after that Kel

and I went for the wine and cake tasting with the lady who was our event planner.

When we got to the bakery, the different cakes I saw got me hungry. They were so mouth-watering. Kel

left me to answer all the questions about the cake and I answered all for the wine. We had checked out

decorations for the wedding, the venue and all other things that had to be taken care of. I had wanted a

simple wedding but his grandma had made sure it would be extravagant. I wanted fifty to a hundred

guests but now they were nearly a thousand. His family was large already and he had invited

celebrities, business associates, friends, media coverage etc and I had invited no one. I called my mom

and she picked, I mentioned the wedding wanting to invite her but she just hung up. I was sad, I just

have to bear all this, it's only for a year after all.

Kel and I haven't said much, any information he had to pass He did through Mel. We only saw when I

fixed him dinner, he still treated me like a maid any chance he got and I always ignored him which

annoyed him further.

"We've chosen the hall and everything is set for the wedding. I can't wait to see you in your wedding

dress." Tess gushed.

"You both would finally get married, I can't wait." Trisha gushed.

They were both interested in the wedding more than we were." We can't wait either." Kel said smiling.

"I'd make sure your wedding would be the best and your dress the talk of the country for years," Tess

promised with a smile.

It would be the talk of the country for years when they find out that the wedding is fake or when the

bride doesn't show up. Now I'm looking forward to the embarrassment it will be to Kel. It would ruin him,

his company and the right for him to gain his dad's. Now that's what I'm talking about, I could feel a

smirk finding its way to my face.

On our way home I decided to tell him I'd be visiting my parents. He never allowed me to leave the

house and every time I tried, I failed.

"I'd be going to my parents' house tomorrow," I announced and he didn't even look at me.

"I'd be leaving by seven and wouldn't be back till the next." I continued but he just ignored me.

"Don't let me put up a fight with the security guards you assigned to make sure I don't leave. You just

have to let me see them." the last part came out more desperate than I wanted it to be but still yet he

said nothing.

Tomorrow I'm going to see my parents whether he likes it or not, even if it means stabbing any guard.

******************************

"Hurry up West." he angrily shouted.

Kel had woken me up with a loud knock asking if I was ready and I was so surprised to see him all

dressed in a casual outfit. I quickly dashed to the bathroom after he gave me ten minutes to get ready.

"I'm here," I said running down the stairs to meet him. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

I didn't think he would take me, most of all not this early. I had intended to take my time, eat breakfast

but here I am rushing to catch up with him. We got to the car and it was a four hours journey, thankfully

he stopped by a restaurant and we had breakfast together, something that has never happened. We

tried making small talks since people were watching, I even saw some secretly taking pictures. The

journey was long and boring, we never said a word and I even slept at a time but finally, we had gotten

to our destination.

I got out of the car and when I thought he'd be on his way back he stepped out too. I began to panic, he

couldn't meet my parents, they couldn't see him. Things would get ten times worse and the pretence a

million times harder.

"Don't you have a place to be?" I asked irritated, please go away.

"I'm staying." was his reply as he walked up the porch and I walked up to meet him.

"I don't want you to, go do whatever you have to."

"What type of fiance would I be if I left you hereafter dropping you. We have to make an impression on

them."

"They'd throw you out. Just go away." I said pushing him in the direction of the car but you can guess it

was futile.

They'd throw me out too. They didn't even want me here, I had come here to beg, then what happens

when I'm with the person they don't want to see me with. Maybe I should just go, it was too late, he has

rung the bell.

What would I say? A lot of things started running through my head, what if she throws me out? What if

he finds out? Could I tell them about the contract? My palms were getting sweaty, my insides were

churning, I was nervous and I was panicking. If she finds out about what I did she'd call me what others

call me. My breathing was slowly fading and I was finding it hard to breathe, I was gasping for breath

when I felt a hand wrapped around me. I was startled and it wasn't helping my situation, it was just Kel,

I had even forgotten about him.

"It's okay, calm down," he said patting my back.

"Breathe in and out, follow me," he instructed inhaling and exhaling, I did the same but it wasn't

working.

What if he finds out, what if things go drastically wrong?

"Think of something nice, good memories, nature, anything," he instructed and that took me five years

back.

I was supposed to be reading a poem in front of the whole school but I was really scared and shy. The

number of people I was faced with and their unfriendly glares didn't help either. I had panicked and ran

out. Kel had come to meet me and I was having a panic attack, he had his hands around me

whispering soothing words trying to calm me down. He told me to think of good things and I had

thought of him, when we first met and talked, first kissed, our special moments that meant a lot to me.

When I had got out, how kissed me and told me I could do it. But that was just back in the days.

I don't know why I had remembered that if it was even a good memory because everything about Kel

isn't good especially when I think of the past but in a way it had helped.

"Are you okay now?" he asked and if I knew any better I'd say he was concerned but this was Kel

Adrios, I had to be careful of the smallest hint of concern.

I had just nodded and just then my mom opened the door and immediately prepared to slam the door in

my face.

"Didn't I tell you not to ever show your face here especially with him?" she asked angrily.

"Mom... "

"Sheila, who's that? "I heard my dad say and I ran in to meet him, he was fine, he was okay now.

"Dad," I said excitedly about to hug him but he rolled his wheelchair away.

"I think you heard your mother, leave my house." he sternly ordered.

It came as a blow, I had done this for him, for them. Enduring the pain, the sadness, insult, hatred only

for him to do this. I wanted to cry.

"Good day Mr West." Kel greeted and all he got was a glare. "I would have been here earlier, I'm... "

"Kelvin, the last person I want in my house." my father angrily said. "You and Shayan should leave."

"But dad... " I said in an attempt to beg him.

"Out. We don't want you here." my mom said and that feeling of rejection came in. All this was all

because of Kel.

"We just wanted to give you the invitation card," Kel said, now he decides to invite them to the

wedding?

"We're not coming, keep your card." mom said throwing it in his face.

"I don't know how you can do this Shayan, why marry this bastard?" he angrily asked.

Because he was the only option I had to have you treated, I wanted to say but said nothing.

"Answer me, why go back to him? So you believe he loves you now or what? God, how stupid can my

daughter get? "

How much am I going to get insulted because of Kel?

"She's not stupid, I love her sir," Kel said and I nearly scoffed but my dad did.

"That's what you told her five years ago and look at what you did to her, so tell me how is that love?

you didn't love her then, you don't love her now. " my dad shouted.

"I do," Kel said. Liar, I thought but my dad took it out of my mouth.

"I warned you Shayan, not to mix with the likes of him but you never listened, you kept chanting he

loves me, should I remind you what he did? "

"You can deceive my daughter but not me. Get out of my house Kelvin." dad shouted angrily.

"I'm not deceiving anyone here, we're getting married on Saturday and I'd love for you to be there for

her," Kel said.

If it was any other guy I'd be thrilled by what he just said and the fact that he's going through all this

with my parents but now I was irritated.

"Dad please, I want you to be there, to walk me down the aisle," I begged

"As long as it's Kelvin I wouldn't, don't even expect me there." he angrily said.

"Dad, mom, please," I said looking at both of them but the way they turned their gaze away from me

was the final blow.

"Out of my house." my dad ordered while my mom opened the door.

"Let's go Shayan," Kel said taking my hands and I pulled it out.

"Let me go, I can't do this anymore," I shouted and they all turned to look at me with shocked

expressions.

I was frustrated with the whole thing and didn't even notice I was crying. I was so close to spilling the

beans, his mom knows so why can't mine? Now they're thinking I'm stupid for being engaged to him,

they needed to know I wasn't doing this for love but money.

"What do you mean Shayan?" my mom asked and I could see Kel tense.
