“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.
View MoreEliana Brown~•~For the second time that morning, I almost fell over but I quickly held on to the wall to prevent my ass from kissing the ground.I turned around to see that William was inside the kitchen, cooking. Didn’t he say he didn’t know how to cook? “Uh, yeah, I have plans with my friends.”“So you’re not having breakfast then?”I tried to look past him but I couldn’t see anything. After drinking a lot last night, I woke up hungry. “What are you making?”He shrugged. “Come find out.” Then he turned around to focus on the stove.My mouth fell open. Was he tempting me with food now? On purpose? Or did he want me to approach him so he could scold me about last night?I never liked going out to eat alone and breakfast was right in front of me. I was still contemplating going downtown but when my stomach rumbled in protest, I knew I had no choice but to go back where I came from.With a relenting sigh, I went back inside and dropped my bag on the couch on my way to the kitchen. Th
Eliana Brown~•~I didn’t think things through when I jumped away from William.I was so close to falling and hitting my head on the table when his hand came around my waist and pulled me even closer to him.My scream faded into a gasp at our proximity. Had he been awake all this while? Why did he pretend to be asleep? I needed to dig a hole and bury myself as soon as possible! I was mortified. My cheeks were flaming red. How did I find new ways to embarrass myself in front of him every time?“Are you good?” His morning voice was even deeper than his normal voice and the raspiness caught me off guard.I nodded ferociously and moved away from him, still sitting on the couch because my legs were shaky as fuck.I stared at the table and saw the bottle of wine we had shared last night. I had drank most of it. Was that why I ended on him last night? Who slept off first? What happened? Did I do anything stupid?I looked at him, wanting to ask what happened last night but I didn’t want to em
William Caddel~•~I stared at her. Her cheeks were flushed and her nose was beginning to turn red. Her eyes were hazy but she was able to maintain eye contact with me.I wondered what kind of drunk she was. Would she remember what happened the next day? Or would she forget everything? I didn’t know exactly how many glasses she had taken but it was enough to give her liquid courage.She reached up to poke my cheek, surprising me. “I’m talking to you, Will.” Her voice was slow and lazy. It was also the first time she was calling me Will. “Why did you marry me? Do you like me?”“What if I do?”Her drunk ass totally ignored my words. “Are you using me just like the movie? Hmm? Tell me.” She didn’t even wait for me to speak. “What’s going to happen now that we’re married? What’s going to happen tonight? It’s our wedding night right?”I wasn’t quite sure what she meant by those questions and I didn’t want to assume because I had a dirty mind. “Why don’t you tell me why you married me inste
William Caddel~•~Eliana was officially my wife. She didn’t change her last name for obvious reasons but that didn’t take away the fact that she was legally mine. Well, she was mine in every sense of the word. She just didn’t know that yet.Since it wasn’t a huge ceremony, she had spent the previous day moving into my penthouse. It was a Friday and I had work but for the first time in a while, I took a day off to be able to help her with moving in.She didn’t have to buy furniture for the apartment downstairs so moving wasn’t much of a problem for her. The only things she had to pack were her personal things like clothes, body care, flowers, and the rest. She didn’t sleep in my house that night though. She slept at her apartment and went straight to my grandfather’s house this morning to start getting ready for the wedding.It was our wedding night and the first day we would be living together as a married couple. We sat across from each other, staring. I knew it was awkward for her
Eliana Brown~•~It was real. I was actually getting married to the stranger I met less than three months ago. I was getting married to William Caddel. It was crazy. It wasn’t like we were dating or anything. My impulsive decision led us here, which was why I was so nervous about walking down the aisle.Yes, we were having a regular wedding. There were only five guests; William’s grandfather, Catherine and her boyfriend, and William’s two drivers, who I later found were his friends, George and Duke.George was an artist who drove him sometimes while Duke was his secretary. They were his closest friends and I’d seen them once or twice in the past month. Well, I’d seen Duke a lot since we worked in the same building but I’d interacted with him once or twice.I was straying from the point.I was getting married today. I was in my long white dress that William had paid for and the ceremony was about to start. All I had to do was walk down the aisle. It was going to be a very short event.
William Caddel~•~“We are all friends and we share everything with each other, but somehow, Will made the decision to get married without telling any of us.” “If he hadn’t spoken about it in front of me, I never would have known.”“And if you didn’t tell, I’d be in the dark up till now.”The two of them paused and stared at me, waiting for me to say something. When I didn’t, George scoffed. “Of course, he doesn’t even care that he hid it from us.”I let out a breath. I didn’t hide shit from them. Duke was my secretary and George drove me around sometimes. They knew almost everything going on in my life and I never had to relay it to them. I wasn’t used to telling them my business because I knew they would find out about it eventually.“Are we invited at least?”“No.” I finally spoke up.“Why the fuck not?” Duke exclaimed.“I told you it’s not a big deal. Grandpa is the only one invited. We’re only getting married because of him.”“Not a big deal?” George snorted. “The woman you’ve b
Eliana Brown~•~William paused and slowly arched an eyebrow at me. I immediately felt embarrassed. I sounded like a jealous girlfriend.“Right about now.” He murmured and brought out his phone to book a cab. I turned to the side, looking out the window the car zoomed away from the building. Why did I say that out loud? “And done…”I gritted my teeth. William was doing it on purpose. From their interactions, I could tell my boss admired him. She wanted him but I wasn’t so sure how William felt about her. It didn’t exactly seem like he liked her but he was entertaining her which was somehow worse.I took a deep breath. That wasn’t my problem to worry about, was it? They were old enough to do whatever they liked. They only had a six-year age difference while I was younger than William by sixteen years. Even if I liked him, which I didn’t, I was too young for him.“How was your first day?” William asked, bringing my attention back to him.I cleared my throat and found the courage to face
Eliana Brown~•~My first day of work was quite bland.After they showed me around, they took me to my desk and left me there for the rest of the day. I felt like an intern all over again. Everyone was busy and I just had to sit there and stare.Not wanting to look idle, I turned on the computer in front of me and started browsing through several sites, trying to learn more about 3D printing.Before five, the desks started to empty one after the other. It was the end of the day but I didn’t know whether I could leave or not. The head of the sales department was still in his office and I hadn’t been productive throughout the day.I let out a sigh and shut down the computer, looking around when I got a text on my phone. Grateful for the distraction, I quickly checked it.[William: you done?][Me: I guess][William: you guess? I have to work for one more hour. I’m in a meeting. I’ll come pick you up when I’m done. Can you wait?]We just talked about the possibility of being seen earlier
William Caddel~•~“Did I hear correctly?” Duke exclaimed as soon as Eliana left my car. “You are getting married to her? I’d think it’s just your delusion but she didn’t oppose it.” His voice portrayed his surprise. I hadn’t told him and George yet about the trip to the lake house or the fact that we were getting married.I glared at him. “Watch your mouth. I’m still your boss.”He scoffed, undoing his seatbelt so he could turn to face me properly. “I knew you were obsessed with her but I didn’t think you’d be getting married to her six weeks after being in contact with her. How did you convince her?” He paused. “Wait, did you threaten her?”I rolled my eyes. He was so dramatic yet he acted so mysterious at work. When I first met Duke, he barely spoke, only talking to me whenever it was necessary. Now, he yapped even more than George.“You manipulated her into leaving her job. You manipulated her into staying in your apartment complex. Now you’re manipulating her into getting married
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...
