Undeniable Attraction

Chapter 17

SHAYAN'S POV

The 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 no interest to her anymore. She started taking pictures to post on her

Instagram, after all, Kel had told her earlier they needed something for people to talk about, an update

on their honeymoon. She turned to look at Kel who was fast asleep and laughed so hard she nearly

fell. She started taking pictures of him to post. She got up and stood in front of him taking as many

pictures as she wanted. Of course, she had turned off the flash and shutter so he was completely

oblivious. She posted the picture with a text. " My cute husband fell asleep while sunbathing."

Suddenly, she felt something hold on to her slippers and had let out a scream while jumping up but it

didn't let go of her. She continued screaming and jumping till she fell on top of Kel causing him to wake

up but before he could say a word the recliner crushed beneath them. Kel cursed as his back made an

impact with the fallen recliner on the ground while Shayan still screamed. Kel looked at what was

causing her to scream and it was a crab, the whole thing was hilarious and he couldn't help but laugh.

"You think this is funny Adrios? Get it off me," she yelled.

Kel continued to laugh taking his phone to take pictures.

"If this thing kills me I'd haunt you till I kill you Adrios. Get it off." she angrily yelled

A bodyguard that had heard the scream was the one who came to her rescue. Immediately he left she

started hitting him repeatedly and angrily as he continued to laugh and even posted the picture.

"We were having fun in the sun when the crab thought it was more fun to join in the fun."

"I didn't know you could rhyme Adrios but I'm officially going to kill you." she angrily said hitting him.

"I didn't know you liked staying on top of me this much, don't worry I'd keep that in mind when we're

having sex."

"That's never happening Adrios." she angrily stated making sure to hit him hard before getting off him.

He infuriated her and had ruined her mood for the day so they went back home. For dinner they had

seafood, crabs and lobsters were on the menu and she got angry knowing Kel did it on purpose

alongside his smirk. That night she went to bed hungry and angry.

SHAYAN'S POV

Sadly the week was over meaning the honeymoon was too. In a way, it turned out to be fun. Exploring

the island, doing things I've never done, it was a whole new experience. I had pranked Kel most of the

time and he did too. We were always getting on each other's nerves. He has deep issues. I still hate

him, nothing is going to change that but we interacted a bit when he took me to his resort, it's surprising

how he owns the island and resort. How rich was he? I liked it here, it was calm and peaceful.

"We're leaving now baby," Kel said taking my hand, I was going to miss this place. Waking up to the

ocean view and the sound of the waves.

Kel had been calling me baby often, mostly because people were around us but when we were alone

we rarely said a word. I wonder how things would be for us now that we're married. Would he still treat

me like a maid, would he still be his cold annoying self, do I get to do anything other than being a

housewife?

Kel resumed work on a Monday morning, on Saturday I had asked him if I could work but he had

outrightly denied me that so I decided that I'd go anyway. I was prepared for work, dressed

professionally, my hair in a bun. I was wearing expensive designer clothes. I looked like a CEO wife.

Leisurely eating my sandwich I waited for Kel to come down, finally, he did and I had nearly forgotten

how he looked wearing suits. Devilishly handsome.

"And why are you dressed like this West? " he asked annoyed

"What do you think?" I asked raising my eyebrows

"This is not the time for guesses or you to play dress up."

"And who said I'm playing dress-up Mr Adrios?" I asked raising my brow again watching his expression.

"You're not going to work West, especially not in my company so go upstairs now and change your

outfit," he ordered

"I can't. All this..." I said gesturing to my outfit. "Cannot be in vain."

"Well I wasn't the one that told you to dress up was I?" he asked angrily

"I'm going to work Adrios, whether you like it or not." I didn't take my eyes off him as I stared at him with

anger.

"You wouldn't be going anywhere West." he harshly ordered.

"What exactly is your problem Adrios, I want to work, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't. What am I

supposed to do in the house anyway? " I angrily said, who does he think he is to control me?

"Watch TV, cook, eat, shop, gossip with your friends, do whatever you want aside from showing in my

office or any other," he ordered angrily

"I'm not going to do any of those things Adrios, I'm not going to be a housewife who'd just wait on her

husband, I want to be my person, do whatever I want to do, make money," I shouted

"Right, everything is money for you. I've paid you more than enough yet you are still greedy for more.

There's no need for you to work West." he angrily shouted.

"There's every need to. It's your money, not mine. I want to earn my money Adrios, not just get it by

being your wife. I wasn't brought up that way."

"Deal or not you're my wife and there's no need for you to work so just drop it. I'm already late for work

as it is," he said angrily taking his phone from the table

"Why are you even going to work? You have more than enough already, there's no need for you to

work." I said angrily throwing his words back at me.

"That's different West, I'm running a company, I have to be there to take care of things, you don't have

one," he said with a slight smirk.

"Then I want one then and you can always work from home," I said with a smirk.

"Money driven West or you just want to see my face more? " he asked raising his eyebrows smirking.

"Very funny Adrios," I said laughing. " Why would I want to see your face every time?" I asked angrily, I

admit that he's hot and I like seeing his face some times but every time? He's crazy.

"Good. Since you don't want to see my face every time then I guess you're not working with me then,"

he said smirking.

"Okay, I want to see your face every time Mr Adrios. " I said softly trying to sound convincing

"Too bad I don't want to see yours," he said smirking

"puh-lease. I just said that because I thought I could change your mind." I said and he just took my

sandwich and my mug of coffee walking out.

"That was my breakfast," I said rushing after him.

"We don't want to be late now, walk faster," he said and I smiled going back to get my bag and running

to catch up with him.

The ride to the office was silent, Kel didn't say anything just ate the sandwich and drank the coffee

while reading a newspaper. I was still a bit uncertain about his decision, I wouldn't even be surprised if

he dropped me in the middle of nowhere.

We got to his office and luckily I was there. I opened the door and got out while someone opened his.

"Next time you wait for me or someone else to open the door for you." he didn't shout but his voice

wasn't calm either.

He took my hand as we walked through the lobby, everyone we came across congratulated and

greeted us. I always replied with a smile but Kelly paid no attention to them. We took the private

elevator to his office and once I sat down I let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding.

"You don't have to greet everyone that greets you, they are our employees, not friends." our

employees?

"They are your employees not mine and some of them are my friends," I said and he scoffed.

"Don't involve yourself with them too much, you might have been my assistant then but you're my wife This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

now. You are to be respected and no one will respect you if you keep on smiling and greeting them."

"That's not true." I was going to argue but he said we should end things there so I ended up asking

what I was going to be doing.

"You would help me around with things in the office. I fired my assistant." Or she resigned?

He passed stacks of files to me. "I need you to go through every single one of them." I looked at him

with my eyes wide open in shock. "You're the one who wants to work," he said smirking. He sat down

going through some other files then looked up at me. "And did I mention I want it all today too?"

"You're impossible." I angrily said. Must he treat me like a slave everywhere we are, doing what he

wants me to do? That must have been why he answered me, to torment me but I'd have to prove him

wrong.
