Chapter 10
KEL'S POV
I introduced her to some business associates and then my mom had a word with her telling her more like warning her not to hurt me. After that, I introduced her to Carlos my best friend. She didn't look so pleased to see him and I knew it was because he was the one that revealed her secret to me. Carlos was trying to make a conversation but she was just replying in monotone. It was funny watching her being so uneasy.
We had to dance and so I took her to the dance floor, the spotlight was on us and it enhanced her features. She was beautiful I'd give her that. When I saw her I was dumbfounded, I know she's pretty but seeing her like this was surprising. We were the centre of attraction as everyone stood watching 'the loving couple' dance.
My hand was around her waist holding her firmly while her hands rested on my shoulder as we danced to one of those romantic songs. She was looking away from me and I wondered why. She was supposed to look at me with so much love. "West you need to keep eye contact and smile," I ordered.
She turned to look at me and her hazel green eyes bore into mine taking me back to our first dance. Then it seemed so magical getting lost in her gaze, seeing her smile made me feel so good but now I couldn't look at her in that light not after realizing who she was. "I don't want you to look down, my face is up," I said and she just stared at me, her face looked gloomy but it wasn't something new.
"You should know I don't want to look at you Adrios," she said and I laughed.
"Scared of looking at someone so handsome?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.
"You're so egotistical and no I'm not scared of looking at your supposed handsomeness."
"You're scared of falling," I said and she laughed.
"I'm not, I would never." I wanted to laugh at her statement, how much I hated her, she just played with my feelings like it was nothing.
"You should know by now that I'm not interested in you falling for me. I don't need you on the already long list." I said honestly and she laughed. What was so funny?
"I know you're crazy Adrios but crazy enough to think I'd fall for you that's madness," she said and I got angry. How dare she talk to me anyhow?
"You did once I bet you can again." I arrogantly said and she glared at me.
"Adrios I've learnt my lesson once there's no need for another and besides you're not my type. I hate you too much to care about you." came her angry response.
I had also learnt my lesson I don't need any other experience.
"Wow, so you have a type that's interesting. I thought you just spread out your legs for anything with a dick." I smirked saying. I could see her fuming. I knew she'd have slapped me i we were somewhere else.
If she was angry about my honesty then she has seen nothing. I couldn't believe she'd do that to me. There was absolutely nothing that would make me like her.
"You're an absolute man whore Adrios. You just want a woman for anything that's under her skirt. "
Her words didn't get to me because I know what I am, everyone does but if I could drop that at that time to be with her and the supposed Virgin Mary goes out sleeping with other guys that hurt.
"We're done with the dance," I said as the song came to an end and I heard her mutter finally and I scoffed. Like I wanted to be anywhere near her.
People took pictures of us after and during the dance and when we were done we took pictures with family and friends that would be in the media that very hour.
After the engagement party when I was back home I laid on the bed thinking of how the plan came up. Mr Jones had come into my office to announce that the only way I'd get the company fully was through marriage because it was in the will and most people didn't want to work with a bachelor. I didn't want to say I'd get married because of that and just said I was engaged. Everyone was shocked, I was too and when they asked who I became speechless. I had frantically tried to remember the name of the girl I slept with the previous night but to no avail. I saw the coffee on the table and I instantly remembered my assistant, the one I couldn't forget her name throughout the years and years to come.
I spoke up saying I was engaged to Shayan and everyone was shocked most especially my mom. It was funny seeing Shayan's reaction, she played along when everyone was present but as soon as they left she started ranting saying she won't and then I remembered what girls like. A five-letter word that could change their thinking. I proposed a five million dollars deal and she said she wasn't a slut that I could buy with money, it made me laugh because I knew she would accept it. The fact that she played hard to get was funny and annoying and so I called her a two-timing beggar, cheat, liar, a big whore and a scheming gold digger because that was what she truly was.
When I went to her house I could barely hold back my laughter. She was really funny, she needed the money but was just being stupid. I presented the diamond ring to her and I noticed how she looked at it proving her to be a gold digger or maybe in this context a diamond digger and isn't diamonds a ladies best friend?
I became angry when she still played hard to get. She needed the money and I had given her no choice than to take it so why act like you are not interested? As soon as she accepted it I took her to the mall, her clothes were what I'd call rags compared to what I wore. I came up with the idea of date so the media could see her, at the date I showed her the rules I made up. She needed to know her place in this deal, falling in love with her was uncalled for. I bought her the latest iPhone to replace her sorry excuse for a phone, she can't be engaged to a billionaire and use that.
There was an article about us the next day some believed while others didn't, I had got a lot of tweet and comments on Instagram about our engagement. I got a lot of people demanding an interview and I went to her room to go over the questions and when I asked how we met I was pretty annoyed that she was dumb enough not to remember.
On the day of the interview, I warned her sternly not to blow things up. I was the first person she asked a question and it was funny how the lie rolled off my tongue and disgusting how I had to smile and act in love with her. The question that threw me off guard was when she asked "what's so special about her?". I had to quickly come up with a convincing lie. Another question that got me angry was when she said people were saying she didn't deserve to be Adrios. I know she didn't deserve it but she was the only option I had. I hated when people acted like they knew what was best for me, I know she wasn't but I don't even plan on having an interaction with her.
She was stubborn and annoying. I clearly stated that she wasn't supposed to go anywhere without my permission, none of the rules was meant to be broken but she tried breaking one. I hated her disobedience, how she talked to me without respect. I hated her personality, her presence. I hated almost everything about her and I easily felt irritated by her words and action. I had no idea what I was thinking when I chose her but look at what I've gotten myself into now I'm stuck with her for a year.000
