During lunch break we were still both busy, he had been getting multiple calls and deals so we barely talked.

"Don't you think we should get a break." I suggested and he didn't even look at me from the papers he was signing.

"We have to finish this today, there's no break." he said and I whined but he didn't even pay attention to me.

Finally, finally, finally I finished going through and reviewing the files by eight and I was famished, he didn't even let someone order food for us and I'm sure he'd make me cook. We left the office by nine because Kel still had things to do and I nearly slept in the car on our way home.

"We're going for dinner, go get ready." Kel said as we climbed up the stairs.

"What? Out for dinner? I'm stressed as I am and I want to sleep even though I'm so hungry and now I'd have to get ready for dinner add that, the time we'd use in preparing it would be late, I can't wait that long. Let's just order pizza. " I said tiredly.

"Go get ready West." he said entering his room and I just sighed.

I got into my room, took off my shoes then attempted to take off my clothes but I was too tired and laid on the bed.

"For God's sake open the door West." I heard Kel say while banging the door

Oh God I didn't even know when I slept. "Hi." I smiled weakly as I opened the door.

"Why on earth didn't you open the door since and why the hell are you not dressed? " he angrily asked staring at me in my office outfit from top to bottom and I shuddered under his gaze.

"Don't tell me you fell asleep West." he angrily said

"I told you I was too tired." I said in my defense.

"Ten minutes West." he angrily said leaving

I sighed before going to the bathroom, I took my bath and wore the first thing I saw which was a lacy short red gown then did minimal make up using red lipstick. I had no time to do anything special to my hair so I just brushed it to the side. I put on a red gladiator sandals and took a channel purse that was only enough to size my phone. I got downstairs to see Kel making a phone call and immediately he saw me he paid no attention to the caller.

His gaze was on me staring at me from top to bottom over and over, it wasn't the way he looked at me earlier with anger. This look was lustful, and his eyes were darker now. I checked him out too. He was dressed in a red and black plaid suit so I knew from that we were going to an expensive restaurant. He was so handsome, if not for our past and his attitude I wouldn't mind dating someone as incredibly handsome as him. His messy brown hair was tempting me, I wanted to rake my hand through it. I should probably stop thinking about him.

"Like what you see Adrios?" I teased

"Nah. I've seen better." he said playfully smirking.

"Yeah right, but none of them can be compared to me." I continued

"True." he said smirking.

"What do you think about the proposal sir?" it was when he heard the voice that he remembered he was supposed to be on a call.

"I'd call you later." he said hanging up.

"So stunned to see me you forgot all about your call." I teased and he scoffed saying " who told you I did?"

His he saying he did it on purpose?

The ride to the restaurant wasn't that bad, he had turned on the radio and the songs helped in clearing the tension while I kept pondering on what had prompted me to talk like that. It must have been lack of efficient sleep. The stop was at a fancy expensive restaurant and from the name it was French. I waited for Kel to open the door for me. When he did we stepped out and surprisingly there was paparazzi taking pictures. Don't they sleep, it was nearly eleven.

Bodyguards appeared coming to our rescue. The restaurant was empty, I wondered if he did it or people were just sleeping in their houses.

The setting was romantic, there were candles and roses on every table but I know it was just for show. We gave it out our orders and when the food was brought I realised how famished I was. I mean I haven't eaten all day and it was all because of him. I wasted no time in digging into the food that was superb. I love food, who doesn't?

I was almost done with my food when I noticed that Kel had barely eaten his.

"You're not eating?" it was supposed to be a question but it came out as a statement.

"It's none of your business West." he coldly said, what crawled up his pants?

Like I care " Well eat something, if people see you're loosing weight they'd say I'm not taking care of you."

"And are you?" he asked angrily. What's his problem?

"Am I supposed to? I'm not a babysitter or a nanny." I retorted and he just looked at me angrily.

"Well you're my wife." he said and I just scoffed. "Gosh, I hate you so much West."

"I hate you more Adrios." I said with venom.

" I wouldn't wait a minute more for you. We leave at seven thirty sharp." he informed coldly.

"I'd keep that in mind." I said glaring at him.

We got to the office, I've been working for a few weeks now. I've been working in the same office as him, I had asked if I could get a personal one but he had said something about not trusting me to give me personal space. In other words he thinks I'm going to steal or sabotage his company. If I had any intention of doing that I could do it better under his nose.

"We'd be going to check out the work on Mr Anderson's building tomorrow, meanwhile set up a meeting with the board of... "

"Kel." Someone barged into the office squealing. I turned to look and it was someone I didn't know. How come she calls him Kel? I knew she couldn't be a friend, Kel didn't have friendship with girls he just slept with them.

"Suzy." he said smiling. HE WAS SMILING, who is she?

She was pretty I'd give her that, she had radiant skin, long brown hair, big boobs and butt and the tight outfit she wore surely did it justice. She clearly looks like the type he'd bang.

" I missed you so much Kel, you have no idea. " she said walking up to meet him kissing his jaw, cheeks, lips. Interesting

I had no problem with the view, once a cheat always a cheat. I know we weren't really a thing but it's still cheating and it reminded me of why I hated him. They were locking lips now and I discreetly took a picture hoping to use it against him, after all he broke a rule. In a way it hurt but just a bit. I wasn't hoping for him to change seeing this was a loveless marriage but the fact that he'd do it fully aware of my presence was just wow.

Kel pushed her away a bit, she was already sitting on his laps straddling him. Our eyes locked and I saw him smirk, so he thinks this will hurt me? He should know that I hated him too much to care.

"Please leave us." he said and I dismissed the urge to create a scene and just left.

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 like 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 considering the fact that 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 highschool. 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 the 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 like 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 highschool? 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.
