Jess POV
I sat at the club two months ago drowning my sorrow and pain. It was one of those days when mum had chastised me over something I couldn't do right, she was always comparing me to Kel. The perfect son, he could do no wrong in her eyes while I was the imperfect one, the one she always had something against. Nothing I did could please her.
All her love was rendered to Kel and Tess. I loved my twin but Kel, that was another story. I don't think I've ever liked him. Yes he tries to play the father figure but that is overbearing. He's never going to be a father to me, he's never going to give me that fatherly love I so craved for. There was a time we were really cool, the time in high school when he was dating Shayan. He was more open and sensitive to the feelings of others, more empathetic. He was always there for me when I needed him, attended my games, played the fatherly role well. But once he and Shayan were done he returned to his cold self, shutting everThere seemed to have been a moment of confusion, the gunshot was fired but two people seemed to have been on the floor, the blood was oozing but a body laid on the floor almost lifeless.Kel's POVI've never seen someone that drives as slow as Williams. He drove as though there was no emergency whatsoever and to top it all there was traffic. Oh the agony of being stuck in traffic when you had a place you desperately needed to be. It was in times like this I wish that cars could fly and just land where you need to be or I could teleport. Crazy right, but right now it seemed like the best option but I had no power whatsoever. My whole body was itching from sitting and doing nothing about the situation. I felt like getting out of the car and running to the location. I had to see her, I had to make sure she's okay. "Calm down Mr Adrios, from what I gathered your wife is fine."I don't know whether he was trying to calm me down because his tone soun
I suggest listening to James Arthur certain things when you get to the middle of the chapter.Shayan's POVKel gave my hand a small squeeze and silently begged me with his eyes to hear him out. I nodded as he gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I gave him a small smile which he returned and made his way out of the room patting Jess on the back.There was a moment of awkward silence as he struggled to get his words out. I knew he had been trying to get my attention for some days but couldn't bring himself to talk to me and now that he finally mustered the courage to he was speechless."I don't even know where to start." The tone of regret in his voice didn't go undetected. "I'm sorry about what happened. It's something I'd regret for the rest of my life. I was blinded by greed, anger and jealousy. I wanted what Kel has, I felt inadequate and unloved and it made me do something I didn't even think I was capable of doing. I'm deeply sorry and

SHAYAN'S POVMy heart was pounding in my chest loudly, it was him, standing in front of me after five years. Kel Adrios. All my anger and hatred towards him came back in full force. "My office now!" He shouted, walking to his office not sparing me a glance. I followed him closely to his office. Is he going to fire me? Does he even remember me? We got to his office and I stood while he sat. He was tall and fit so well in his custom charcoal grey suit. Kelvin Adrios, son of Michael Adrios, why didn't I realize that? When I met him he wasn't answering Adrios. He was well known in the business world has even won billionaire of the year. He was a shameless playboy who broke every girl's heart, he wasn't even capable of love. He watched me intently with eyes so brown it reminded me of chocolates and I love chocolate but his eyes didn't hold any appealing glow, instead
HAPTER 3SHAYAN'S POVI walked into the office at exactly 7:30. I didn't want to be late and have Mr Adrios scold me. I went to the cafeteria downstairs to get his plain black coffee and got a latte for myself. I wondered when he was going to come and if his coffee wouldn't have been cold by then. I just decided to keep it in his office anyway so he'd see it once he comes. I opened the door to his office and there he sat in all his glory looking devilishly handsome, rich and powerful sitting on his executive chair. But he's not supposed to be here by now. I remembered his words yesterday, "I don't want to be here before you." An immediate frown appeared on his face and without looking up he spoke. " I thought I told you to be here before me and my coffee should be on my table as well," he stated calmly but with the way he spoke I know he was far from being calm, he was furious. What was I supposed to do? leave
SHAYAN'S POVI looked at all of them in confusion. Congratulations? I hope it was for something good, well no one says congratulations when something bad happens so well let me see where this leads. I looked at Kel wondering what he was up to, there was a small smirk threatening to escape his lips, I wondered what this was. "Congratulations on your engagement." his mother smiled hugging me Engagement? Me? Are they blind or can't they see my fingers are bare? Who am I even supposed to be engaged to? "I'm happy for you Shayan, or should I say sister in law." Tess beamed Sister-in-law? What the hell is Kel playing at? I was still confused as to why they were saying all of these. "I think you've got the wrong girl or there's a mix up somewhere." "It's okay baby, we can tell them," Kel said smoothly staring at me deeply. 
SHAYAN'S POVThe next morning I was preparing for work when I got a call from my mom. I hope everything is alright with them, a call from her often meant that something was wrong."Hello mom, is everything alright? " I asked and all I could hear was my mom sobbing."Mom, what's wrong?" I asked already panicking.God, please let all me well with my dad."It's your dad," she said and my heart sank. Please God let him not be dead."He had a heart attack and he's in an even worse condition than he was," she informed and I heaved a sigh of relief. At least he was still alive."We have to do the surgery now."Surgery? But we don't have enough money for that yet."But mom we don't have enough money for that." I panicked on the verge of tears.Where can we get that much money for surgery?"I know Shayan, I'm thinking of taking a loan or selling the house," she informed."Loan?" I
SHAYAN'S POVWe didn't go to work that day, we went shopping. He bought me a lot of things like jewellery, shoes and clothes, perfumes and makeup, he virtually bought everything a girl would need. At the store we got a lot of stares, people were wondering if I was the fiancée while Kel was being affectionate smiling and caring while I was playing the game too."So we're going to be living together in my apartment till we get married.""Okay, so when are we getting married? ""I suppose you heard when Jones stated it," he replied.What would have been hard in saying the date? I tried remembering when and remembered when he said we had less than two months. GreatNow that we're alone in the car he's going back to his unaffectionate self as I care.I got out my phone from my bag and saw several texts and calls from my parents and colleagues, they were probably going to ask if the news wa
