Undeniable Attraction

Chapter 11

SHAYAN'S POV

Kel 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 tee

shirt and grey sweatpants. "Is my dinner ready?"

"No" I replied nonchalantly

"Why the hell is it not? " he shouted looking at me with fiery eyes.

"Don't shout at me, how am I supposed to know you were going to be home early?" I asked angrily

"Just go make dinner for me," he said calmly like he was stressed but I know he was shooing me away.

Since he brought me to his house he fired his whole staff. I felt like he did that so I could "perform my

duties" or so no one will know that he shouts at me all the time and the fact that our relationship was

fake.

I walked to the kitchen pitying myself, look at what my condition has gotten me into.

"And be fast while you're at it, I want pasta," he ordered.

"Why didn't you get it on your way, I'm sure you passed by a lot of expensive restaurants so why make

me do it?" I asked angrily.

"Because that's what I pay you for, in case you have not noticed you're my maid."

I knew it but I said nothing. I was his maid instead of his fake wife. I made the pasta and served it for

him and he didn't even mutter thanks. I shook my head and went to my room. I don't want to live like

this for a year, I can't, seeing him every day and the way he treats me was very annoying and I hate

him so much. I don't even have anything I want to use the money to do just for the surgery at that time

and now I'm in a big mess. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door and when I opened the

door it was Kel.

"Go clear up the table and wash the dishes," he ordered and I laughed.

"What would it have taken you to clear the table, the kitchen was downstairs yet in your foolishness you

thought it would be better to come upstairs to disturb me."

"I'm paying you aren't I?" that was his only response as he left.

Knowing I had no other option I went downstairs to do as I was told and decided to make dinner while I

was at it. Kel wasn't satisfied that he ruined my life before, he was still ruining it now and the most

annoying thing is that I let him do as he, please. I can't believe I loved him and thought he did. It was

obvious he hated me since then and he just played me like he played the rest. He made me believe I

was special and different. I felt so disappointed in myself, after all my dreams here I am being treated

like Kel's maid. After eating I did the dishes and went to my room. I was up for an hour thinking about

my predicament, I wanted more than anything to end the contract or for one year to pass in a day. I

was so sad and frustrated.

I got a call and immediately I heard the voice my spirit was lifted and I smiled.

"Hi baby, how are you doing? " I asked smiling

"I'm fine. When are you coming to meet me?"

"I don't know but as soon as I can I will. I miss you a lot." I confessed.

"I miss you too, promise we'd see later?"

"I promise. Goodnight baby ."

"Goodnight."

As soon as the speaker hung up I had a contented smile and I decided not to think of anything that will

ruin it, I was looking forward to our next meeting, with that in mind I had a good night sleep.

The next morning, a loud knock woke me up. I went to open the door knowing whose face I'd be

seeing.

"Why aren't you dressed?" that was what I got instead of a good morning and him staring at me with

annoyance.

"You're not even ready for breakfast, I specifically told you..."I shut the door shutting whatever he had

to say too.

I sighed and went to the bathroom doing all the necessary things and dressed up wearing a white shirt

with jeans and white sneakers. I took my time brushing my hair before going downstairs to meet a

fuming Kel.

"How dare you slam the door on me?" he angrily asked.

"Are we going or what?" I asked in a way that suggested that I don't give a damn what he has to say.

I've had enough of him talking and treating me how he wants. He needs me as much as I need him.

He decided not to say anything and just strode away angrily and I followed. The whole ride was silent

although I was expecting him to continue ranting and although I hated silence, I liked this one.

He came out of the car angrily and I wondered how he was going to keep up the act with the way he

was acting. We walked into the large house that stood in front of us and I tried not to show my

amazement at how beautiful it was.

"Shayan." Tess excitedly called out coming to hug me. She was so bubbly.

"Hi, Tess." I greeted smiling

"Where's mom?" Kel asked and Tess answered saying she was in the garden.

Kel took my hand leading us to the garden as Tess followed behind.

"Hi Kel." his mom said hugging him tightly then turned to me giving me a disgusted look and I scoffed.

Like I wanted to be anywhere near her.

"Hi, guys what took you so long?" Jess asked. "Anyway, now that you're here we can call grandma to

be on her way."

Kel's mom called him and he had to leave. Jess had already gone to meet Tess and I just stood alone. I

was so uncomfortable and the way Kel's mom glared at me didn't help. It was official, she hates me.

She didn't even follow me back on Instagram not that I cared though but I just wondered why she

doesn't like me. I don't remember doing anything to make her hate me.

Kel walked up to me with a beautiful blonde by his side and at that moment I wished he was going to

marry her and just let me be but it seemed like he was assigned to make me miserable.

"This is Melissa and she's going to be your assistant. Melissa my fiancee Shayan." Kel introduced and

we both said hi. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"I should start getting you ready, the glam squad are here," she said taking me to a room.

The room was big, it was more of a dressing room though. There were a big mirror and a vanity table

with different hair and makeup products. The clothes were a lot too and I was hoping I wasn't going to

wear them all.

"You're here, I'm Katie." a girl I didn't even notice was in the room spoke up. "I'm going to be your

hairstylist for as long as you want me."

I had nothing to say and just smiled, another girl came in introducing herself as Trisha and she was the

make up artist while Melissa was the one picking out my outfit.

"I'm so glad for the opportunity I have to work for you," Katie said smiling.

"You're making me seem like one celebrity, there's no need for the fuss I'm just like you," I said and

Trisha laughed.

"Girl you're nothing like us. You're going to be married to Kel Adrios, you're guys are the hot topic now.

A lot of girls want to be you or get to know you and here we are working with you. Do you know how

amazing it is?"

I wish I knew, was it bad that people were more excited about the wedding more than I was?

"I guess I don't," I answered.

"You have no idea how popular you've gotten Shayan," Melissa said.

"Yeah, and it would mean so much to me if you followed me on Instagram and help me promote my

work," Katie said.

"Sure I'd do that, I'd follow all of you," I said and they smiled. What's with people and Instagram?

They continued doing their job and we were making small talks in between. Melissa brought out the

clothes I would be wearing for the shoot and it was so expensive and beautiful. I wore the first which

was a long white lacy gown paired with silver six-inch heels. My hair and makeup were expertly done

and it was amazing. To go with the outfit was a diamond earring and necklace and of course the star of

the show, the diamond engagement ring.

"You're so beautiful." Katie and Trisha squealed and I smiled.

"It's all thanks to you guys, I appreciate."

"Nonsense, you're a natural," Melissa said and I smiled.

"Now let's go show you to Kel," Trisha said taking my hand.

"He'd wish you both were alone and not going to do a shoot," Katie said giggling and I laughed. There's

no way Kel would think that but she didn't have to know.

We got to where Kel was and he was talking to Jess but as soon as he saw me he stopped. This was

the time we secretly checked each other out without the other person knowing. Although I hate to admit

it he looked good. He had on a black suit that had the same lace embroidery as mine and a black bow

on his hair.

"You all did good work she's so beautiful," he said smiling and they smiled but I didn't. The way he said

it as if it was just because of the makeup that I was beautiful.

"We should leave you guys to have your shoot," they said excusing us.

We went back to the garden and it was already decorated. There were white roses all around it was so

beautiful.

"I'm Santos, I'm going to be your photographer and I'd be taking the couples first," he announced.

Everyone stepped aside leaving just the both of us and with the way the arrangement was going I

wished I was getting married to someone I liked. I would be so happy but no it was a fake marriage to

someone I had sworn never to have anything to do with and it was funny that we entered a marriage

contract, marriages were meant to be for eternity to someone you love ours is for a year and we very

much hate each other. Love is only a fantasy and marriage isn't meant for me but still yet here I am

following through with the contract.

He instructed us to get into a pose, Kel forcefully pulled me to his side but I bet other people found it

attractive. He placed his hands around my waist something he does frequently when we're pulling up

an act. He stared at me deeply but I knew it was a glare, he was pretty much still mad.

"You broke one rule today, you disrespected me," he stated calmly even though he wanted to shout.

Disrespect? What would I call what he does to me daily?

"We can't have this talk here especially not now," I said ending it.

He closed his eyes sighing deeply something I know he did when he trying to let something go or make

a hard decision.

We took several pictures together with different outfits. There was a picture of him kneeling in front of

me with the ring as I held out my hand using the other to cover my mouth feigning surprise. We also

took pictures with his family and I felt sad that my parents were not there even if it was fake. No one

had ever bothered to ask about them, isn't it supposed to be both families coming together but I guess

it wasn't in this case. It was only about his family.

After hours of having to smile looking happy my cheeks were hurting, I had worn more clothes than I

would wear in a week and I was hungry and tired.

"Let's go have breakfast familia." his mom said staring at me. Since I wasn't part of the family was I

exempted?

Everyone has left leaving just Kel and me, was he going to shout now? "Are you just going to stand like

a log of wood or are you coming?"

"Well your mom said familia, she was screaming you're not included Shayan," I said and he smirked.

"Thank God you got the message because you'd never be part of the family," he said coldly.

I wasn't hurt like I thought I would be, there's no way I'm letting him go away with this. "Good to know

we're on the same page because I don't want to be part of your "so amazing family"

I walked away although I had no idea where I was going to and could easily get lost I think they passed

here.

"Grandma sent me to see why you're not here yet," Tess said meeting me in the middle of the garden.

"Good, I don't even know my way around here."

"Don't worry, you'd get used to it in time. So were you and Kel making out?" she asked wiggling her

eyebrows.

Making out? Her imagination was purely scary and impossible. I wouldn't allow that. I didn't want to

deny or confess to her claim and I just laughed.

We walked till we got to the dining room, there were different types of foods arrayed on the table.

Because of the luck I have, I was seated beside Kel's mom opposite Kel.

"Go on and eat Shayan, who knows when you'd eat like this again." his mom said and there was a little

smirk on Kel's face as she said that. She just indirectly insulted me.

"I'm not that hungry, I skip breakfast most of the time," I said standing up.

"Please don't be offended, I'm sure she doesn't want you to be fat in the dress," Kel murmured, to

someone else, it might have sounded like he cared but I knew him.

Now I was offended, I have issues when someone talked about my size. They don't expect me to be

skinny, I'm not fat I like to think I'm curvy. I was fat before and got insulted and bullied by it and I wasn't

fully over that and that's why I work hard to maintain this shape.

"Shayan what they're trying to say is that they want the gown to fit you perfectly. " His grandma spoke

up not catching the hint of what they were saying.

"I'm sure it will. "Jess said.

"Of course it will. My fiancee looks good in everything." Kel joined in.

"Please excuse me," I said leaving.

I leisurely walked to where my legs led me to until I found myself in the garden. I sighed sitting on the

grass, I don't think I could do this. I heard footsteps and knew it was Kel's, someone probably forced

him here or he was here to taunt me.

"Crying baby doll?" he mocked laughing and I turned to face him showing him my perfect face with no

tears.

"Of course not Adrios. It's going to take more than you and your family to make me cry and besides is

baby doll not old fashioned?"

He didn't reply to my rhetoric question and just laughed." I think I'd buy buckets so you'd store up your

tears you'd need it when the time comes."

"Oh, I'm sure I wouldn't be needing them. I'm done Adrios, I'm done with the deal go find someone else

who'd be interested ." I declared and he laughed.

"You know you can't cancel it till a year," he said calmly with a smirk.

"Well I'm on a rule-breaking spree today and I'm breaking the deal, it's off Adrios."

"You're very funny West. Only I can terminate the contract and right now it's on."

"Not if I post about this being fake." I threatened smirking
