Undeniable Attraction

Chapter 4

SHAYAN'S POV

I looked at all of them in confusion. Congratulations? I hope it was for something good, well no one Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

says congratulations when something bad happens so well let me see where this leads.

I looked at Kel wondering what he was up to, there was a small smirk threatening to escape his lips, I

wondered what this was.

"Congratulations on your engagement." his mother smiled hugging me

Engagement? Me? Are they blind or can't they see my fingers are bare?

Who am I even supposed to be engaged to?

"I'm happy for you Shayan, or should I say sister in law." Tess beamed

Sister-in-law? What the hell is Kel playing at?

I was still confused as to why they were saying all of these. "I think you've got the wrong girl or there's

a mix up somewhere."

"It's okay baby, we can tell them," Kel said smoothly staring at me deeply.

Oh God helps me. Tell them what? What's even with the pet name? He was shouting at me a while ago

people, don't believe his lies.

"Oh," I said realizing what he was pulling at. Couldn't he just leave me alone?

"Congratulations Shayan, I've always wanted you as my sister in law. " Jess spoke up and since I had

nothing to say I just simply nodded.

"You guys would have to rush your wedding, you have less than two months to get married." Mr Jones

announced packing his suitcase to leave.

"Better for us then. I can't wait to get married to you hun," he smirked saying, wait till I slap it away.

"We're not getting married Kel, I thought I've said this before," I said frustrated.

"Come on babe we're over this already, no need to be scared," he said still smirking.

"Is there a problem Mr Adrios?" Mr Jones asked and before I could give a reply Kel said there wasn't

anything wrong telling them to leave.

Before they left that each took turn hugging me.

"What the hell is going on?" I angrily asked as soon as I was sure they were out of earshot.

"Language Miss West." he

scolded.

"Language my foot, what's this nonsense I'm hearing about marriage? " I angrily asked

"I don't know if your ears went on a vacation the entire time but we're getting married, Miss West." He

answered sitting on his chair twirling it.

"Did I happen to tell you that I want a relationship with you because I don't get you and by the way, I'm

engaged?"

"There's no ring on your finger and if there happens to be any you'd get rid of it because you're getting

married to me." he stubbornly said.

"I don't know if you've been joking the entire time but I'm not getting married to you. I will not." I stood

firmly on my words.

If he thinks he can easily pull a prank on me then he's entirely mistaken. The era I had with him was

long gone, I wasn't going to replay anything.

"You will Miss West," he ordered angrily. "You don't have a choice."

"You know what I'm not going to listen to you or talk to you," I said angrily walking to the door.

"Two million dollars, be my wife for a year." he wasn't even asking just stating it as if he knew what my

reply will be.

This situation was funny and I couldn't help but laugh. What does he think I am?

"Haha Mr Adrios, I'm not interested in you or your money. Even if you make it 50 million or billion I don't

care." I firmly stated.

So he thinks I can be bought? I might be poor but that doesn't mean I'd sell myself, especially to

someone like him.

"Well, you will have to because I'm not backing down on my words. You'd be my wife and that's final."

he angrily stated, well I was angry too, even furious.

"It's not final, I have a say in this and it's a capital letter NO. I'm not some slut you can buy with money,

I'm sure they'd be more than willing to participate in this game of yours so don't involve me in it." I

angrily stated.

"Why chase around other sluts when I have you here. You're even more than a slut, you're a two-timing

cheat, nothing but a filthy beggar and liar." he accused harshly. "Aah I forgot, you're also a scheming

gold digger."

My palm wasted no time in connecting with his face after what he had just said. Who gave him the right

to say things like that to me when he was way worse. There's no way I'd let him talk to me how he

pleases, boss or not. I was furious, the rage surging through my veins. How dare he call me all that?

Slut? Two-timing beggar and a cheat? Liar? Big whore and a gold digger? He was highly crazy.

"I see that two isn't enough for you. Three perhaps?" he coldly demanded.

He was mocking me, saying things he knew would get to me. He wanted to make me angry and he

was winning. I won't let his words affect me again, I'm way past that.

"Like I said Adrios, I don't give a damn about you or your money and you can keep it for yourself. I may

not be rich but I'd rather die poor than to have anything to do with you or accept a dime from you." I

firmly stated angrily. "You can call me whatever you want, I'd even help your vocabulary."

He was looking at me with a frown, so was he expecting me to cry buckets by now?

"Look here Miss West, how much are you asking for?"

"The only thing I want is for you to die and rot in hell Adrios." I angrily said leaving his office.

If I hated him before, I hate him ten times more now.

The next day I was contemplating coming to work because I didn't want to work there but I knew I'd

only be giving Kel the satisfaction he wanted and besides I need the money. I was in the office by

seven to avoid him and his wrath. I got him a coffee from a cafe downtown and went to his office to

keep it there.

I was so shocked to find him there going through some papers, what was he doing here by seven for

god's sake?

"Good morning sir." I greeted placing the coffee on the table.

I still got here before you was his reply, I was beginning to think he was doing it on purpose and was

even a game to him.

"But that doesn't mean I'm late." I countered and he just nodded, taking a sip from his coffee.

"About my proposal yesterday," he started

Finally, he's going to admit that it was all a joke. "What's your response?" he asked

Are you kidding me? He's still adamant about that? If he desperately needs to get married why don't he

ask all the ladies downstairs who were already adding Adrios to their names.

"My response doesn't change, it's still a no. I will not get married to you Adrios." I stated firmly so that I

could drive the words to his brain. I was expecting him to drop the matter but he just laughed a deep

humourless laugh.

"It seems like you don't get it, Miss West," he said looking at me with his stony expression. "You don't

have a choice." he coldly stated.

"Everyone has choices and I've chosen mine. It's not mandatory to marry you so I will not." I angrily

stated

"It is mandatory Miss West, if I don't get a suitable response by the end of the day I wouldn't waste time

in announcing our engagement." he threatened harshly.

"And if I see a crazy thing like that I'd deny it and say you're trying to buy me and you're only forcing me

to marry you." I threatened too and he just laughed.

"We'd see about that Miss West," he said as I left the office.

Why do you think he wants to marry her?

What's your best drink?
