Undeniable Attraction

Chapter 42

Kel turned on the TV and when it came on our faces were displayed on it. He did it and I was extremely

shocked. The presenter was saying something.

"A reliable source just revealed that Kel Adrios's marriage to Shayan West is a complete sham and the

little girl always spotted with them happens to be their daughter. He had only gotten married to her just

to get access to the company given to him by his deceased father. So what is their marriage based on?

Love as they claim or money as presented it to be? It also reveals that the marriage is based on a

contract in which Shayan gets paid to get married to him. Could this be a harmless rumour or is there

some truth in it? We are yet to hear anything from anyone of them but we surely hope that someone

comes out to clear the confusion."

Pictures of us were displayed alongside Evie's before it was replaced by the next gossip issue and Kel

switched off the TV.

"What are we going to do?" I asked Kel worried.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Evie walked in looking at our expression. Thank God she was not here to see

the news.

"It's nothing sweetheart," I said carrying her. " Let's go get ready for the day."

I took her to the bathroom and did all the necessary then we stepped into the room to get dressed. I

could hear shouting as I neared the room, getting there I saw Kel's mum.

"I told you that woman was going to be the death of you." She shouted glaring at me as soon as she

saw me.

"Mom, calm down." Tess and Jess cautioned.

"Mommy, who are they?" Evie curiously asked.

"Why couldn't it be anybody, anybody but her. She had ruined you once and now that you are

successful she comes back to ruin you again." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Shayan has nothing to do with this mom," Kel said softly.

"She has everything to do with this." His mom bellowed.

"Who's this lady?" Evie asked staring at his mom.

"Oh, the daughter. How sure are you that she's her mother or you're even the father? Girls like her

would do or say anything these days."

"That's enough mom." I know Kel was trying his best not to shout right now.

"I've not even started." She looked at me icily and Evie kept on asking who she was and why she

doesn't like me.

"Tess, please take Evie out of here," Kel said staring at his mom angrily.

"You shouldn't treat Shayan with so much. You've done enough for her already. She's nothing but your

fake contract wife, how would you forget that?" His mom asked and Evie stared at me. She didn't just

say that in the presence of Evie who was looking confused.

"Come with me, sweetheart," Tess said trying to take Evie away but she didn't want to go.

"Evie it's okay. Go with her." I said but she shook her head.

"But the old lady would keep on shouting at you.'' she was still unwilling to go.

"I wouldn't let her say anything to your mom again okay. Just go with Tess." Kel kissed her cheeks and

she smiled a little following Tess.

His mom was going on saying nonsense. I'm sure Evie must have questions in her head right now

which I'm hoping she'd forget later.

"What was that all about mom?" Kel angrily asked as soon as Evie was out of earshot.

"I should be asking you. How did the news leak out? How sure are you that she's not the one who did

it?" She accused shouting.

"She isn't mom. She wouldn't do that."

"Why can't you open your eyes to see Kelvin, she has blinded you with her fake love once again."

"You know that's not true mom," Jess interjected.

"Shut up. What do you know? If you like get a woman like her, she'd just ruin you and I'd send you out

of my house."

"I've been out of the house since forever. You can't keep trying to control every aspect of our lives,

we're grown now." Jess said and she scoffed.

"That doesn't make you wiser." She retorted.

"That's enough mom, he's right. You're always trying to control every aspect of our lives. I got the

company to appease you, did almost everything in my life to please you and now you're complaining

because things aren't going according to your plan. I won't have you talking that way to my wife and

daughter."

"You call this a wife?" She huffed looking at me with disgust.

"Yes, Mom. She's my wife whether you like it or not." Kel said and she laughed sardonically.

"She can never be a wife, she's a slut remember, a two-timing gold-digging cheat." His mother said

distastefully.

I was really angry, what have I ever done to her? "You have no right to talk that way when that's the

right definition of yourself." I angrily said.

"You little..." She raised her hands to slap me because I was standing right in front of her, but Kel

quickly pulled me aside as Jess held his mother back too.

"What is it about me that ticks you off huh, I remind you of yourself?"

"You can never be me." She spat out.

"Good thing cause I'm not trying to be." I retorted

"That's enough mom. Truly what has she ever done to you?"

"I'm never going to accept her into my family."

"A family that only you is part of. I'm not sure anyone of us cares about what you think." Jess retorted.

"Of course you do, I'm your mother."

"I appreciate you mom but you can't just come into my house and talk that way about my wife and

daughter, that's unacceptable. So what happens if the secret is leaked? I'd have gotten married to her

anyway but you had it rushed, that's what ticks you off isn't it, that I chose her. What has she ever done

to you mom? You've never liked her even when we dated in high school, why?"

"I don't just like her okay? What's there to like about her? You're supposed to marry someone of high

repute not just an ordinary girl who didn't even go to college." Now that hit deep.

"Now I can see why he never got married to you." Her expression was worth it, she was speechless for

a while.

"That's not why." She said seconds later. "He didn't get married to me because, because..."

"He never loved you did he? You probably forced yourself on him, didn't you? You were so obsessed

with him, you could never match good billionaire heiress, you got money from him by using us and got

what you truly wanted, the money." Kel realized.

"No, that's not true. He didn't get married to me because of her, that stupid wife of his that couldn't bear

him any child."

"So you were what, his mistress?" Jess asked.

"He loved me." She defended and I rolled my eyes.

"Because you had devious intentions with a man doesn't mean every "ordinary" girl would. Did it ever

strike you that she loves me, actually had a child with me not because she wanted to get money or any

weird thing you conjured up in your head?" Kel stated angrily.

"She doesn't Kelvin, I knew when she got pregnant, it was about the same time she slept with Jason,

did it ever strike you that Jason is the father, did you get a test done? She's manipulative, don't let her

use the child..."

"You knew she was pregnant for me?" Kel angrily shouted, even I too was shocked. If I thought he was

mad before that was an understatement.

"The child is not yours for God's sake Kel."

"What has gotten into your head." Jess shook his head.

"I did a DNA test mom, I'm the father of Evie." He said calmly.

"She could have had them falsified." His mom countered.

"For God's sake mom, enough of this madness. Not everyone is you. You knew about my child and you

never told me about it. I don't even know if I should even call you mom at this point."I could tell how sad

he was from his tone and squeezed his hands a bit and he looked down at me taking my hands.

"Kel my son don't say that, you know I did all this for you. What would you have done if you knew? You

wouldn't be where you are in the business world if you were with her."

"Do you think I care about that?"Kel angrily asked. "I missed six years of my daughter's life that could

have been avoided if you told me. You knew how broken I was when she left, you even made me

believe all those lies about her. Why mom, why?"

"Because I wanted you to be successful. She would have ruined everything for you." She answered

slowly.

Kel was too frustrated to speak, he angrily shoved his hands through his hair screaming. I guess I

could see his mom's point of view but she didn't take a good approach.

"I love you, Mom, seriously I do but you have to understand that Shayan is my wife and she's going

nowhere alongside my daughter. The more you come to terms with that the better for us all. I wouldn't

have minded having nothing if it meant having them, mom."

"You're just saying that you don't know what it's like to grow up poor, you wouldn't want your child to be

that way. I did everything I did for you guys, you should thank me."

"We're grateful mom, truly we are but you have to stop this," Jess said slowly.

"You are the cause of this you witch, you turned my children against me, you'd pay for this." I didn't

even know when she pounced on me, the next thing I knew she was clawing her long nails at me,

pulling my hair.

Jess and Kel were able to hold her back but she kept on saying it was my fault.

"That's it. Get out of my house." I don't think I've seen Kel this angry in my life and it was more

surprising because it was at his mom who he adored more than anything.

"Fine, I'd leave." She huffed glaring at me before leaving.

Immediately she left we all let out a sigh of relief. "I'm so sorry Shay," Kel said examining me before

hugging me and I just basked in his embrace.
