William Caddel~•~Eliana was back home early and it was weird because I was expecting her to come back sometime later, which was why I didn’t refuse Duke and George’s visit. Since the only two other people who had access to my house were already present, it meant she was the one using the private elevator at that moment.Her lesson was supposed to last for a few hours but she was already back so soon. Did something happen? Or did her instructor cancel on her?As soon as Camilla noticed that someone was coming up, she ran to the elevator to find out who it was. She was a nosy little thing that couldn’t be stopped. Lately, the seven-year-old had gotten more curious than ever.One minute later, both Eliana and Camilla came into the living room. Eliana’s eyes immediately sought me. Her gaze strayed to Duke and George who were in the kitchen. “Hi.” They both greeted in unison.However, she didn’t respond to them and returned her gaze to me. She looked down at Camilla, then at me. “You ha
Eliana Brown~•~William had to get a manual car to teach me how to drive. According to him, the car he wanted to lend to me was automatic but he wanted me to be able to get myself out of sticky situations if need be.He was the teacher so I had no choice but to listen to him.William, who was always busy, suddenly had time to teach me how to drive four times a week; Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. It meant we were spending more time together than usual and Catherine was right, it gave me a chance to be closer to him.As expected, William was a lot more patient than my quick-to-anger driving instructor. The best part about it was that I didn’t have to pay for the lessons. Maybe I was taking advantage of William but if he didn’t complain, who was I to point it out?Being married to William was lowkey fun. He acted like a husband when we were alone and when we were outside, we had to act like we didn’t know each other. It was almost like we were secret lovers. We were just
William Caddel~•~I stared at my wristwatch, checking the time to see that Eliana must have been done with work by now.I had been at this meeting for more than an hour now and it wasn’t going anywhere. Eliana and I had driving lessons later today and I couldn’t stay any longer to hear him blab about nonsense.He saw me looking at my wristwatch and tutted. “You must be busy.”“I am,” I affirmed. “Which means I do not have the time to go back and forth with you. Eight million is my final price. Are you taking it or not?”Panic overtook his features. “What? Eight million?” Garrett spluttered. “You agreed on eight point seven a few weeks ago.”“And that offer has expired.” He was being silly. Any time I agreed on a price, he increased it. He was wasting my time on purpose and he knew damn well he wouldn’t get away with doing stupid shit like that. Then again he had someone backing him up; someone I was going to deal with as well. “Eight million dollars. Take it or leave it.”He scratche
William Caddel~•~By the time I reached my penthouse, there was another article circling around. It was another article of me and Sandra but this time the picture was of her poking her head in my vehicle. The angle made it seem like we were kissing while Duke stood by the side of the door, looking ahead.In the article, the writer was convinced that something was going on between us again. It was obvious this writer was different from the previous one and I could just tell it was one of Sandra’s cheap tricks to make people think we were back together. She thought I would succumb to the pressure and get with her again. She was delusional.It worked the last time because of my grandfather and there was also the fact that I didn’t like anyone back then. It was different this time. I was married. Even if the wedding was on false pretenses, I was married to the woman I wanted.“I wonder how your wife will react to this news.” Duke commented when he pulled over in the parking lot of my ap
Eliana Brown~•~I felt embarrassed. I had blown up on William even if he didn’t do anything to me.Sure he dated her in the past but that had nothing to do with me. He didn’t even know me then. There was also the fact that she could have hidden her true self from him. I had no right to yell at him like he did something wrong.He was an adult man who could date whoever he wanted with me interfering. I had told him I was angry but was I really? Sure I hated that woman but was that the reason I got irritated?Whatever the reason was, I couldn’t face him the next morning so I woke up as early as I could, got dressed, skipped breakfast, and went to work. It was the earliest I had been to work and there were only five people already present. The office was empty, almost like it was closing time.When Mr. Edward came in for the day, he was quite surprised to see me. He paused by my desk. “Bianca took the day off so I need you to visit the city hospital on her behalf.”“Alone?”“You’ll go wi
Eliana Brown~•~I was starting to get pissed off.At the lunch I attended, I was barely able to focus because I couldn't stop peering at William’s table. That day, a new article about him came out. In the article, they were contemplating if he was with Sandra or Olivia because their date seemed intimate. I wondered what that was going to do for their friendship but it merely annoyed me.I had told myself I had been angry the other day, but this time, I couldn’t deny that I was jealous. I hated seeing him intimate with other women. The thought that he might kiss him, fuck them…As if the second article wasn’t enough, he left the house on Saturday and I stayed at home just to see the third article of the week. This time, there were rumors about him and an Italian model. They had a supposed date earlier in the day, then they attended an event together.The writer was calling him a playboy. They thought he was playing the field, looking for someone to settle down with, but I was just pla
Eliana Brown~•~My breath hitched. “W-what?” Who said anything about fucking him? Was he doing it on purpose to fluster me or did he mean that question?He placed his thumb on my bottom lip, pulling it slightly. My mouth parted as I stared at him. “What are you so mad at, hmm? Are you worried about what grandfather will think or are you worried I’ll actually end up dating one of those women?”“I–““The truth only.” He interrupted me before I could cook up a lie. I had been lying so much in the past few days because of William. What was so bad in telling the truth just once? “What if I am?”“That’s not a clear answer. Are you worried or not?”There was no harm in admitting it, right? “I am.”“Good girl.” He let go of my bottom lip. “Now tell me why you’re worried.”What did he mean by that? Did he want me to admit that I liked him? Did he like me back? Or did he want to reject me gently? Unable to say the words, I shook my head.He arched an eyebrow. “Tell me, Eliana.” He prompted. “
William Caddel~•~I woke up the next morning with Eliana on top of me. She was naked and I was insanely aware of her breasts pressing against my chest but I couldn’t do anything about it.I didn’t want her to wake up anytime soon because I knew damn well she was going to revert to being shy after all we did last night. I wasn’t content yet but it was enough for the meantime.I wasn’t sure if she knew it but the position she was in at the moment was her basically declaring she was mine. I’d wanted her for so long that I could barely remember what it was like to not be obsessed with her. It was crazy. I was crazy.Opposite to what I wanted, I felt Eliana start to stir. She made a sound in her sleep, hugging me tighter as if we weren’t close enough already. It made me smile. Maybe she wanted me just as much as I wanted her. Yesterday proved that she liked me and she wanted me.I had done it on purpose; the date with Olivia and the date with that model. I knew the media was going to expo
William Caddel~•~I fucked up badly.I knew she was going to freak out when she found out but I was kind of hoping that she would never find out. Then again, if I wasn’t so careless and didn’t bring David around her, she never would have found out.Speaking of that, I needed to talk with him so he would know when to keep his mouth shut. Why did he think it was okay for him to tell her I was the reason she didn’t get promoted? Did he think she would be okay with it?I ran my hand through my hair as the elevator closed and started moving downstairs. I knew where she was going but I couldn’t stop myself from worrying about her still. It was just seven o’clock in the evening. It wasn’t that dark but my stupid brain was telling me to follow her anyway.I pushed it to the back of my mind though. I didn’t want to do anything that would make her even angrier.We just had a nice weekend together only for it to ruin us instead of bringing us closer. We had only been together properly for a wee
Eliana Brown~•~I took a step back at William’s answer. It didn’t prove anything but it meant he pretended like he didn’t know me when he already did.I didn’t want to think William was capable of what that man said. I figured he didn’t have any reason to do that. I was even scared to ask more questions because, for some reason, I knew he was going to tell the truth.“When?” I asked instead.“What?”“When did you know me? How do you know me?”William bit down on his bottom lip and released it before speaking. “I saw you at your workplace more than a year ago. I went into the store you were working at and you were checking items out.”I closed my eyes briefly. I was going to be sick. He had known me for that long!? Why then did he act like he hadn’t seen me before? Was that why he was so nice to me? Was it to make up for him ripping my job away from me?Throughout the flight, I’d been wondering how I would bring up the topic to William. Thankfully, he realized that something was wrong
William Caddel~•~Eliana was acting weird.She was normally a quiet person but she was even more quiet this time. She wasn’t speaking unless I was talking to her. She didn’t initiate any conversations and only answered whenever I asked her a question.It was frustrating. I hated that she didn’t directly come to me whenever she had a problem. She didn’t let me know any time I did something to upset her. She just gave me the silent treatment.I tried to wait it out, hoping she would come around but by the time we were set to fly back to New York, she was still in the same mood.As soon as the jet took off and we were free to walk around, she excused herself and went into the bedroom. From where we were sitting, Duke and I heard the lock of the door and we shared a glance.“What did you do this time?” Duke asked me.I shrugged. “Nothing that I know of.”The previous day had gone pretty well. We ate breakfast together in the morning, then I went to my meeting. After that, we walked aroun
Eliana Brown~•~For the first time, I woke up before William.After waking up, I went to the bathroom and freshened up before going to join him back in bed. It was our last day in Chicago and I already missed our time here even if we hadn’t gone back yet. I stared at William, tracing his chin with a featherlight touch. He looked so peaceful and innocent when he slept, nothing like the man he was last night in bed. It was cute. Unable to help myself, I found my phone on the nightstand and opened the camera. I took a picture of him, then one with me in the frame.As I looked through the pictures, William wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him. “Are you done?”My eyes widened and my cheeks flushed in embarrassment that I had been caught again. Was this man ever asleep in the first place?“You’re awake!” I accused, slapping his chest.He trapped my hand there, not bothering to open his eyes. “Do you like the pictures? Or do you want to take some more?”I chewed on
Eliana Brown~•~“William…”He trailed a finger up my stomach until his hand got to my chest, and then he leaned down and wrapped a hand around my neck. “What? You don’t want to?” He asked innocently while his other hand started rubbing circles on my pussy, making me even wetter.“Will–““Beg, baby.” He interrupted me. His face was so close to me that I could barely think properly. “Beg me to fuck you.”I closed my eyes briefly. I knew this man. I knew he was going to end up using it against me in the future but I couldn’t help myself. “Please, William.”He nodded in approval. “Yes, just like that, go on.”I managed a deep breath. “Please fuck me. I need your cock inside me.”William chuckled. “That wasn’t very convincing but I guess it will do.”I glared at him, making sure to commit this scene to memory. I was going to make him beg as well. I didn’t know when that would be but it would surely happen sometime in the future.I watched him as he stood up from the bed and finally starte
Eliana Brown~•~William placed one hand on my back and the other under my thighs. Even though I was expecting it, I shrieked in surprise when he suddenly lifted me.“William!” I yelled but he ignored me and just walked into the bedroom, he dropped me on the bed and I had no time to bounce before he was hovering above me. My breath hitched. I barely had time to react before he kissed me again. I returned the kiss with equal fervor. I moved my hands to his chest but he removed them and pinned them above my head with just one hand. I blushed at the action because it protruded my breasts and I felt more naked than I already was.William broke the kiss briefly to murmur against my lips. “You taste so sweet. I could kiss you all day.” Then he kissed me again, deeper, more insistently, as if trying to pour his pent-up longing. He ground his hips against mine and it was embarrassing how soaked my panties were. I needed him inside me as soon as possible but I had embarrassed myself enough fo
Eliana Brown~•~William could barely keep his eyes off me and damn did it turn me on. That was the exact reason I chose the dress. It was short, revealing, and showed my cleavage.Throughout the night, I caught him staring at me and he made sure we were always touching. When we were dancing, he couldn’t keep his eyes off of me. It flattered me. I didn’t know he liked me that much.I was drunk but I couldn’t deny the feeling of adrenaline coursing through my body. I didn’t know when and how but I had fallen hard for this man and there was no going back. I had always thought nothing could happen between us but he acknowledged that he was mine.William pulled me back slightly when I almost bumped into a pole. I smiled sheepishly. I was lost in thought and was not watching my steps.He shook his head with a smile. “Are you sure you don’t want me to carry you?”I shook my head too. He also had alcohol. I didn’t want both of us to fall over. I had been the one to suggest we take a walk sin
Eliana Brown~•~I was excited.I couldn’t remember the last time I had been in a club. I was most likely underaged and faked an ID even if the bartenders and the bouncers knew my real age. I lived in a small town after all.Since living in New York, I have never been to a club. Harry and I moved to New York together and I didn’t want to do anything behind his back so I always declined whenever Catherine invited me out. My refusal always annoyed her but she never ceased to ask me. Whenever she was going out with her friends, she made sure to include me so I wouldn’t feel left out, not caring that I almost always turned her down.Since I became an adult, I never went to the club so I was a bit excited to go with William. I didn’t know what kind of influence he had in Chicago but we went through the back door as the front door had a long ass queue.“Regular or VIP?” William asked me as we approached one of the bouncers.“I’ll follow your lead.”William shook his head and chuckled softly
Eliana Brown~•~We arrived in Chicago by eight o’clock in the evening and we went straight to the mall as William said earlier.I was already tired of the clothes I was wearing and needed something more comfortable. I picked out a pair of gray sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt as well as a night dress, a short dress, a pair of jeans, and a shirt to go with.When it was time to pay, I brought out my card but William had already handed over his card to the cashier.I stared up at him. “I could have covered that.”“You can do that when I’m not around.” He shrugged. “And even then, I’d hope you use my card for what you want.”“You’re not financially responsible. Why would you give me your card?” I questioned as he took the bags from the cashier and led me out of the store.“Are you already forgetting that we’re married? It’s my job to take care of you.”I was always forgetting that we were legally married. It caught me by surprise whenever he reminded me. There was also the fact that
