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 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.
