He had no shame, no pride no respect. The nerves of that man, he was surely going to bang her now and to think I’d place my food on the table. I went into the washroom using the toilet when I heard people gossiping about us.
“Did you see Susan? She walked into Mr Adrios office as she owned it.” I heard a girl say
“I wonder if Shayan knows they dated. I wonder if they are still a thing despite the marriage. You know old habits die hard. ” another said in a soprano voice.
“I don’t think so. He seems to love her though. Shayan was his first love. Who gets over that?” another quipped in.
“I just hope they last. It’d be a shame if they divorce after some months or year.” the first person said.
I nearly laughed, she didn’t know it isn’t meant to last and we’d be done after a year.
“They seem in love though, do you see their posts on Instagram. They look so cute together and their honeymoon was amazing.” the third person squealed.
“Who’d think that the cold boss can love a person to get married. She must be lucky. I envy her though if only I could have one day, just one day with him.” the second one said dreamily
“That’s an impossible dream Stella.” the third one said and they all laughed.
I didn’t think it was impossible because he was with a girl in his office right now. I waited for them to go out before I came out, I didn’t want any awkward conversation. What just happened took me back to high school. A lot of people had warned me that he was just a player, a good for nothing cheat but I chose not to believe them. I never knew he was going to use me, I trusted him, I thought I knew him, I loved him.
It still hurt when I think about it. The heartbreak, the betrayal, the humiliation, everything. Even the fact that I loved him hurt. I hated myself for falling for him, it was hard to get over him so now I mustn’t fall for him.
I went back to the office and was thankful that she wasn’t there. “What was that all about, what happened to we can’t see anybody else rule? If you want to make this believable don’t make it questionable. What do you want people to think? It’s even better, the sooner this thing ends the better. Being around you is disgusting.” I angrily said raising my voice.
“Jealous now West?” he said smirking. ” the rule is only applicable to you not to me and don’t act as you’ve never cheated on someone when you always do. And besides, it was just a kiss.” he shrugged.
He just accused me and he didn’t even seem remorseful. “I a cheat? Cheats like you disgust me. I was never one, I’m not one and will never be one. Unlike you, I’m satisfied with my partner. I won’t ever go outside a relationship. I never cheated on you Adrios and although this is fake I wouldn’t cheat on you because unlike you I’m not a cheat.” I angrily said
“I never cheated on you and you know that,” he said and I laughed humorlessly.
“What do you call your escapades with those girls in high school? You were being friends with them? Although this is just a contract, a fake that is doomed not to last for the time being respect the vows.” I angrily said leaving the office.
What does he take me for, does he think I’d just smile because this is fake? I was so angry and I had no idea why I was this angry. Maybe I just hated cheats.
Kel’s POV
This morning when we were in the office Susan barged into my office. I’ve had a fling with her when she was my secretary. I smiled when I saw her to spite Shayan, I didn’t like when she started kissing me so I pushed her away. Shayan looked at me and I smirked, I knew how she got jealous easily and I could bet all that I had that she was jealous right now despite her calm facade. She didn’t like me being with other girls and was quite possessive, oh those days. I told Shayan to leave us, she must be thinking I wanted to bang her now.
“And what the hell do you think you’re doing?” I angrily asked as she started touching me.
“But Kel I thought… ”
“Kel? It’s Mr Adrios to you. For gods sake I have a wife and I refuse to cheat on her so leave this instant.” I shouted coldly chasing her out.
“But you love what we have. ” she said sobbing
“Sex? Oh please, you weren’t pleasurable in any way and it was only a one night stand. God knows what I was thinking that day.”
“I hate you so much Adrios.” she cried saying and it reminded me of Shayan. She told me that most of the time and when she said it had an effect on me hurt, anger?
“I don’t give a damn Susan, now out of my office.” I said
“You’d regret this Adrios, you’d regret this.” she threatened as she left. She sounded like a bi*ch that was out to get revenge, it reminded me of the movie I watched last night.
Girls and their drama, she should have known it was a one time thing. Who gave her the thought that I’d choose her. She was never an option neither was she a choice.
I thought back to Shayan thinking about why she hates me so much, she wasn’t the one who got hurt. It was just a simple break up, why the hell wasn’t she over it? The main question should be why wasn’t I?
She entered the office angrily saying “what was that all about, what happened to the we can’t see anybody rule? If you want to make it believable don’t make it questionable. What do you want people to think? It’s even better for me, the sooner this deal ends the better. I don’t want to be around a disgusting cheat like you.”
“Wow, you’ve spoken like a jealous wife.” if she was annoyed about me kissing a girl I didn’t even like kissing how did she expect me to feel seeing her in another guy’s bed ?
“The rule is only applicable to you not to me. And don’t act like you’ve never cheated on someone when you always do.” I angrily said remembering the past.
“I? A cheat? Cheats disgusts me. I was never one, I’m not one and would never be one. Unlike you I’m satisfied with my partner. I won’t ever go outside a relationship. I never cheated on you Adrios and although this is fake I wouldn’t because unlike you I am not a cheat.” she angrily stated, so she’s saying she’s innocent of the claim?
Hearing her deny the claim annoyed me further. I was there for crying out loud, I saw everything . She thinks I’m a fool to lie to and act innocent around.
“I never cheated on you and you know it.” it was true, through out our relationship I never cheated on her not even kiss another girl or sex. Even though she told me to wait I respected her decision being celibate and she had the nerves to laugh humorlessly as if what I said was a lie.
“What do you call your escapades with those girls in highschool? You were being friends with them? Although this marriage is fake and is doomed not to last for the time being at least respect the vows. ” she shouted angrily leaving the office.
Why would she even think that I’d cheat on her, most especially with Susan? Although people had taken me to be a player one thing I’d never do is cheat most especially in a marriage. I had exchanged vows with her and although I didn’t mean it I have no intention of see anybody while I’m with her. So during this year that I’d be with her I’m going to be celibate except if she wants me in every way I want her.
