“You don’t know just how long I’ve been waiting to have you…” My breathing accelerated. “What do you mean?” William moved so fast I could barely register it until he backed me up against a wall. His face was so close to mine that it was making my head spin. His hand found the hem of my dress and he started to pull it up. “Why don’t I just show you instead?” When Eliana Brown walks into her boyfriend of five years cheating on her, she doesn’t know whether to feel sad or relieved because she will finally be breaking up with the man who was living off of her. She encounters a series of bad events that result in her breaking down in front of the cold, unfeeling billionaire, Will Caddel. William Caddel has watched Eliana for longer than she knows. When he sees her relationship falling apart, he uses it as the perfect opportunity to reel her into his life and keep her there for as long as possible. She’s too young for him but he has never been the kind of man to care about the rules.

Eliana Brown~•~I was certain most people were delighted when their business trip was cut short, but not me, because not only did I have to arrive home early in the morning, I still had to go to work because it was a Monday. I couldn’t even dare take the day off because it determined my future.However, I carried on with a smile on my face even if I was very sleepy and could crash at any moment. The only thing keeping me awake was the constant chatter in my ear. I had accompanied the assistant manager on this trip and boy, was she a talkative.None of that mattered though. I was going to get promoted at work and that kept me going. My friends and I had made plans already. After today, I wouldn’t be just a sales associate. I would take over the position of the woman beside me.It was her last day at work. I didn’t know what she planned for her life after this but I didn’t dare ask. Knowing her, she would say everything, including the details I didn’t want to know.I was more than deli...

Chapter Two
Eliana Brown~•~“What the hell, James?” I spat out, feeling even worse than I felt when I left the house this morning. “You said you were certain I’d get it.” Everyone was sure it’d be me. I’d gotten congratulations this morning and it made me take my mind off the fact that Harry was cheating.James, our department manager, winced. He felt guilty but that wasn’t good enough. I was still a sales associate and a random person was the assistant manager. “I know, Anna, but this was out of my control as well. She knows our boss.”I gritted my teeth. James wasn’t a bad person. In fact, he was friendly with us all, but I’d been looking forward to this promotion for months. I’d been working harder than ever to make sure the spot was mine. Everyone else thought I deserved it, apart from the said boss, apparently.I had never seen the boss. With a department store as big as the one I was currently working in, it was only natural she had other business that required more of her attention, but I

Chapter Three
Eliana Brown~•~I wasn’t at fault. I was the one who stopped a crime but as I stood in my manager’s office with Karen and Newbie, it felt like everyone was against me.She had twisted the story to make it look like she accidentally put the products in her bag and I ambushed her without saying anything first.“Anna,” James started. “I know you’ve had a rough morning, but–““I don’t care if she had a rough morning or a rough life. Projecting it onto me just says a lot about her professional ethics!” Karen emphasized.My mouth fell open. “How is this my fault when you’re the one that stole?”“Anna–“Karen cut him off with a scoff and brought out her phone. She walked outside the room to make the call, then came back in with a smug look on her face. “I’ve informed your boss about the situation, so if you do not want this to escalate, you might as well apologize and get it over with.”“Anna, just apologize and let it go.”“But she stole!”“And she’s a customer we can’t afford to lose.” Ne

Chapter Four
Eliana Brown~•~We were on the side of the road and passersby stared at us like we were crazy. The tears flowed freely and my sobs became harder that it was even hard to breathe. I tried to stop but I only ended up crying even more. I tried to level my breathing but it was no use. It felt like the world was closing in on me.I leaned against the wall, trying to steady myself since it seemed like my legs couldn’t carry me anymore. “Are you okay?” The stranger asked.I looked at him through my lashes but I could barely make out his face through my blurry vision. I inhaled and exhaled. I tried to count. I tried to list what I could see, and what I could feel, but my brain was blank. It was only good for replaying every bad thing that had happened to me today; my five-year-old relationship was gone, and my five-year-old employment was gone. I was forced to apologize to a thief. All in one day.I crouched to the ground and covered my ears with my hands. It was too loud, but I couldn’t h

Chapter Five
Eliana Brown~•~My jaw dropped at how casually he said fifteen thousand dollars and before I could say anything, he shook his head. “Sorry, I meant twenty-five thousand.”My eyes widened and if I wasn’t already on a hospital bed, I was certain I would have fallen over. “Twenty-five thousand is cheap?” I exclaimed. “It was just the white shirt I spilled on, wasn’t it? I didn’t ruin the jacket or the pants?”“The full piece costs a hundred thousand.”F*ck me. What kind of man did I encounter? Why did he have to be so rich to wear a suit worth a hundred thousand? Hell, why were there even suits that cost that much? Who made them? Whatever happened to four-hundred-dollar suits?If I had known I was going to encounter such an issue today, I never would have quit my job. I would have s*ck*d it up. But then again, if I hadn’t quit my job, I wouldn’t have run into him.I was jobless, without parents or a partner. I didn’t have many people I could call for help. I didn’t have anyone that coul

Chapter Six
Eliana Brown~•~“What the fuck?” Catherine exclaimed. “You can’t be serious. All those bad things can’t happen to a person in one day.”I sighed and collapsed on the couch. “I thought the same.”After leaving my former apartment last night, I’d come straight to Catherine’s house. While I had other friends, they weren’t close enough for me to show up to their place unannounced, but the problem was that Catherine lived with her boyfriend so I had to crash on the couch.She allowed me to have a good rest before waking me up this morning to question me.“What are you going to do now?” She asked, looking concerned.“I don’t know. I have to find a job and an apartment as soon as possible and I don’t even know where to start.”Finding a job was hard as hell and finding a cheap apartment was even harder. Even the smallest apartments were very expensive and it was rare to find a landlord that wasn’t greedy.I inhaled deeply. I fucked up by letting Harry take advantage of me like that. He shou

Chapter Seven
Eliana Brown~•~After two weeks of sending out my resume to every possible fashion retail store, I was finally invited for an interview.Going through my suitcase, I found a casual business outfit and dashed into the bathroom to change. Living with Catherine and Peter wasn’t just stressful for them, it was inconvenient on my end as well.I couldn’t wear what I usually wore in my house. I had to be decent all the time and I couldn’t change as I pleased. I always had to change in the bathroom in case Peter suddenly came home.I hated it.I was trying so hard to find an apartment but it felt like I wasn’t. All the apartments I’d visited were either out of my budget or too small to contain anything I owned, which wasn’t much. Sometimes, I thought about settling for one of those small apartments as long as I had somewhere to rest my head, but Catherine told me to take my time with it as it was the place I was going to be living in the next few years.I appreciated her. She was the best fr

Chapter Eight
William Caddel~•~“I don’t think the wheelchair is necessary.”“Shut up,” I said easily. Her knee was hurting badly and she was limping. If the wheelchair wasn’t present, she’d have to lean on me and I didn’t want her to touch me.She remained quiet as I rolled her wheelchair out of the hospital. When we got to my car, I stared at her and she stared back at me. I exhaled. I guess I’d have to touch her anyway?However, before I could carry her out of the chair and into the car, she held onto the side of the car and stood up by herself. I breathed in relief as she closed the door after entering the car. It wasn’t like she repulsed me or anything. I just couldn’t afford physical contact with her. It was dangerous for me.As I rounded the car to enter from the other door, my driver came out to take the wheelchair back in.“No offense but, you’re pretty rude, you know that, right?” She asked while we waited for George to come back.“If you think it’s going to be offensive, then it’s best

Chapter Nine
Eliana Brown~•~William Caddel didn’t believe me when I said my injury wasn’t serious but by the next day, I wasn’t limping anymore. Catherine felt pity for me when I told her what happened to me but was intrigued to find out that William had helped me again. He was practically a stranger yet I owed him so much already. I hated it.Emily had shown me three apartments today already. They were very nice and I’d love to stay in them, but they were way out of my budget. I didn’t have a job. I couldn’t afford to stay in an expensive apartment.When we stopped in front of another expensive apartment complex, I groaned. “I doubt this is in the range I told you, Emily.”Emily wasn’t just an agent. She was also a friend. We weren’t very close but we knew a bit about each other’s lives. Rent in New York was already crazily expensive. Even the smallest apartments cost more than a thousand and apartments like those barely had water inside except it was a shared house.I wanted something I was

Chapter Ten
Eliana Brown~•~“I don’t ever want to leave, Anna,” Catherine said dramatically.“Well, you are coming with me whether you like it or not.” I continued dragging her by the arm.She dug her feet into the ground, making it harder for me to pull her along with me. I hissed and pulled her even harder. “No, Eliana. I don’t want to leave.”“Girl, you’re coming back anyway! It’s just groceries.”Catherine smiled sheepishly. “Fine.”I rolled my eyes at her and finally let go of her hand when she didn’t seem reluctant to leave anymore. Catherine had helped with packing my things and unloading them into the new apartment. The problem was that she was in love with the apartment which was why she started acting dramatic when I told her to follow me to get groceries.Since I didn’t have much to offload, I spent less than two hours on it. The apartment was already nicely furnished so I didn’t have to do too much to it. I just made a mental note to add a few flowers and paintings to make the place
