Undeniable Attraction novel Chapter 46

My heartbeat turned frantic, I searched everywhere for Evie until I found her playing with Jess and Tess. My parents were behind them watching Evie, everything was fine. A horrible scene just played in my head, was I going crazy already. I couldn't wait for this day to end already.

Kel spotted me from the corner of his eye and came to meet me. He was smiling until he saw my expression and a worried look took over.

"What's wrong baby?" He touched my face staring at me intently.

He pulled me close to him, his hands encircling my waist. I rested my head on his chest taking in his scent and sighed.

" It was Carlos, he sent another message." I felt him stiffen, I didn't need to look at him to know that he was pissed.

" He's not going to come near Evie or you Shay, I won't let that happen okay? Please don't worry too much baby. I'm here for us."

Somehow his words relieved me and I sighed, I worry too much but I couldn't help it. I slowly started to relax as he kissed me on my head.

"Now smile for me, baby." An automatic smile appeared on my face and he smiled too.

" I love you Kel," I said looking up at him, a smile pulling at my lips.

"I love you too Shay." Just as we were about to kiss I felt a tug on my dress to see Evie and I chuckled.

" Uncle Jess wants to see my baby pictures." She excitedly said.

"I'd go get them," I said chuckling.

I smiled going upstairs to the room to get the album. I like that Evie was already connecting with his family. I took the album from the drawer making a mental note to get another one, a family album. I smiled turning to the door. My smile dropped as I saw the person in front of me. My heart was beating fast and this time I had every reason to. He was standing right in front of me. The album dropped to the floor and I screamed as he came closer.

He was in front of me in seconds, his hands roughly placed on my mouth stopping me from screaming. I scratched and bit his hands.

"Fvcking bitch." A harsh slap connected to my face causing me to stumble backwards. When I regained composure he was hovering above me a cloth pressed to my nose and that was the last thing I remembered.

KEL'S POV

I'm so glad that the birthday was going on well. I love the smile that I saw on Evie and Shayan's faces. I'd do anything to make them happy, I already planned a surprise for Shay after Evie's birthday, I'm going to give her the queen treatment for the rest of my life.

I looked around, we were surrounded by family and loved ones and that's what matters. Jess was making a phone call and Tess was talking to Shayan's mum, my mom was talking to Shay's dad and I liked that everything was fine between us.

"Hey bro, something came up. I'd have to go" Jess walked up to me and Evie pouted.

"Why do you have to go, mummy went to get the album," Evie whined.

"Something came up, I have to go. I'd see the album some other time, I'd make it up to you." Jess apologized but Evie was till hurt.

"Do you think you could stay a while till Shayan comes?" I asked not wanting Evie to be sad.

"I'm sorry Kel, I have to go." He said as his phone started ringing again. He mumbled an apology and left.

"Daddy, I want ice cream." I was carrying Evie waiting for Shay to come back.

"Sweetie, don't you think you've had enough already, your stomach would explode." I teased tickling her stomach.

"No ...it ...won't." She said in between laughs.

"What's taking Shay so long?" She should have been back by now.

"Maybe she can't find it," Evie answered.
