Undeniable Attraction novel Chapter 9

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 me, doesn't own me so what the hell is his problem?

"I can go wherever I want Adrios," I shouted angrily. "You don't own me and I have the right to do as I please"

"You are going to be my wife West, I own you in every way possible." He angrily said and that sent shivers down my spine.

"You don't, I am my person and I don't belong to you at all, get that into your thick skull.'"

He was very angry now I was scared. He gripped my hand so tight it was going to leave a bruise and the way he was looking at me now made me scared.

"Get your hands off me Adrios," I said mustering up the little courage I had to talk.

"Don't make me teach you a lesson we'd both regret. You're going to go back to your room now." He ordered

I was so frustrated I wanted to cry but I didn't want to beg him in as much as I wanted to.

"And if I don't?" I dared to ask.

He didn't speak instead he opened the door and threw me inside then locked it.

"Get me out of here you bastard, I am not your prisoner and shouldn't be treated as one," I shouted but all I heard was the bang of a door.

I'm officially doomed.

It's been a week since I tried to visit my parents. I've tried other means when he wasn't around but I couldn't get past the security. I've called my parents severally but they never answered and I just hoped everything was fine. Today was our engagement party and the planning was taken care of by a top event planner.

I was dressed in a long light pink gown, I had on a diamond earring and necklace and my heels was silver. My hair and makeup were expertly done.

"The guests are waiting." Kel appeared saying. He was dressed in a tux and he looked handsome as usual and I didn't want to look at him.

He took my hands and led the way. We walked into the hall that was with guests, many of whom I don't know. I had invited Rosie and Sean and some colleagues I was friends with. I had invited my mom but she had outrightly denied my invitation. My dad was better now and I wanted to visit him but I never go anywhere because of Kel, my mom had also banished me from the house.

" Congratulations once again Shayan. " Tess excitedly congratulated.

"Thanks, Tess," I replied and she was smiling like crazy, how excited is she?

"You know, I'm so happy that Kel is getting married and it's to you. I'm going to have a sister I've always wanted and Kel gets the woman of his dreams."

Woman of his dream indeed, I nearly laughed. I bet the woman he sees in his dream is someone he has slept with.

"Aren't you happy?" she asked. Was my disgust written all over my face?

"Of course I am. I'm just stressed and tired." I plastered on a fake smile.

"You'd get the hang of it and besides you'd have all the rest during your honeymoon," she said wiggling her eyebrows and I laughed.

"So can I design your gown? " she asked hopefully.

"Sure," I replied and she gave me a big hug.

" Don't worry your gown would be the talk of the town for years," she said and I smiled.

"I hope it's for good though." I joked and she laughed leaving.

As she left I spotted Sean and Rosie, they offered their congratulations, Sean went off to meet a friend while Rosie stayed behind.

"I'm looking forward to your wedding babe, if your engagement can be so grand how much more the wedding."

"I know right," I said and she smiled.

"When are you going to introduce me to your fiancé?" she questioned.

"If there's time to, he's seeing a lot of people," I answered.

" Babe I have to introduce you to some people." Kel came around putting his hands around my waist looking at me and I did too.

"Aww, so cute," Rosie said squealing. "You guys are just the best."

Kel and I turned to look at her, I was wondering what was cute in that and I'm sure Kel was like who's she and what's wrong with her or he might be thinking we're fooling some people.

"Hi, I'm Rosie, Shayan's friend." she introduced bringing out her hand smiling.

At a time I was worried that Kel wouldn't shake her. " Kel Adrios, Shayan's fiance." he introduced and shook her hand as if he was finalising a business deal but that didn't stop Rosie from squealing like a schoolgirl.

"I think you can let go of my hand now. Shayan and I have to leave," he said curtly and Rosie murmured an apology before letting him go.

He nodded at her and I waved at her before he took me to meet whoever he was taking me to.

"Grandma, this is Shayan." Kel introduced showing me a petite woman with black bob hair she looked elegant even if she happens to be in her early sixties. She was wearing a long blue gown and had on every accessory.

"Nice to meet you," she said smiling pulling me into a hug which was quite surprising since most rich old women were snobbish.

" Nice to meet you too," I replied smiling.

"You're so beautiful in person, I follow you on Instagram you should too," she said and it took everything in me not to laugh but Kel did. She was old yet fashionable and modern. I had to follow her right there and then before she let me go.

"Good, now I don't have any problem with you, it's good to know that Kel is marrying the woman of his dreams. I know you're going to be the best for him."

When she said that I suddenly felt bad that Kel was lying to his grandma about us being in love when we'd only last for a year that's if we even made it to a year.

"I told you, grandma, I only have the best and Shayan is the best of the best." he smiled saying staring at me.

Why on earth didn't he think of being an actor? Everyone was thinking we were in love when we'd barely spoke. I smiled at him not wanting his grandma to doubt 'our love'.

Someone came to meet Kel that a guest was asking of him leaving just me and his grandma. The way she looked at me made me wonder if she too was acting in front of Kel.

"Do you love Kel?" The question threw me aback, couldn't I act as if I was interested in him a bit?

"Of course I love Kel, yes he's difficult to be with and annoying but we love each other," I replied and she hugged me crying.

"I'm just so glad he met you and wants to settle for you, not other girls. I pray you guys last forever," she said smiling and I smiled weakly feeling guilty. At that moment I didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

"I hope so too." I lied
