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
Eliana Brown~•~I was currently sitting on Will’s lap. It was surreal.I’d felt so awkward when I had woken up in the morning to find that I was lying on top of him naked. I had thrown myself at him last night so I felt embarrassed as fuck. Thankfully, he didn’t make things worse and instead assured me that he wanted me.I’d been so angry at him these past few days that I didn’t think our weekend would end like this. Will was clingy as fuck. The only time he let me go was to go and have a bath and even then, he wanted to join me. As soon as I finished getting dressed, he carried me downstairs, not letting my feet touch the ground, and brought me to the kitchen where he made breakfast like a regular husband.Sometimes I had to remind myself that he was my husband but at the moment, it felt real. It felt like we got married for love and not for a silly reason that I didn’t wish to repeat.“So are we going to continue our lessons today or what?” William asked while we were eating breakf
Eliana Brown~•~I had mentioned that William was clingy but I just felt the need to repeat it. He didn’t like letting me out of his sight unless it was work and even then, he was a bit salty about it. He made sure I slept in his room every night and with the way his hands were always on me, I was surprised we hadn’t fucked yet.I wasn’t ashamed to say I was looking forward to it. I loved spending all my time with him, which was why I was excited by the fact that it was a Friday. It meant another weekend with him.“What are you smiling about?”I quickly schooled my expression and faced Marcus. He was from the purchasing team and we usually worked side by side. “What’s up?”He looked at me like I was weird but when I didn’t divulge, he shook his head. “Mr. Edward wants to see you.”“I’ll be right there.” I forced a smile.He rolled his eyes, making me wonder what was going on in his head as he walked away. I shook my head and stood up, walking up to his office. I knocked on the door an
Eliana Brown~•~I was the first person to leave the office.At five o’clock, I was quick to shut down my computer and rush downstairs.I found Will’s car and tried the back door. Thankfully, it was open. He wasn’t inside but his other friend was in the driver’s seat. “Good evening,” I said as I settled down inside. I didn’t understand their dynamic at all. They were all friends yet they worked for him. George looked rich. His clothes and shoes were expensive but he drove William around. I wanted to ask but was too shy to.“Good evening, Eliana. Will will be down shortly.”I nodded, brought out my phone and pretended to be busy while I waited for William. I was excited to follow him on his trip. Thankfully, it was on the weekend so I wouldn’t be missing anything. The only times I’d gone on trips was for work. This was the first time I’d be traveling just for the sake of it.Just as George said earlier, Will came down a few minutes later with Duke trailing beside him. They were close t
William Caddel~•~“You animal.” Eliana spat out, hitting my chest. “Let me go.”I held her arms and pinned them above her head. “So you can be this feisty?” I laughed. I had never seen her like this. She was very shy and reserved around me so she barely bared her claws when she was with me. “You’re such a jealous little thing.”She glared at me. “Shut up.”I had been irritated when George divulged information about me to Eliana that I hadn’t said myself but her reaction made things interesting. Call me a bad person but I reveled in the fact that she easily got jealous. Her jealousy meant that she liked and wanted me. Maybe it was toxic but I’d never claimed to not be toxic anyway.“How are we going to enjoy our time in Chicago if you keep up this attitude?”“What attitude?” She huffed. “You’re the one picking me up and throwing me down like a rag doll.”“You are a doll,” I affirmed. “My doll.”The little kitten didn’t like that very much. “You’re pissing me off.”“Tell me how to make
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
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
William Caddel~•~As bright and early as six o'clock in the morning, Eliana knocked on my door and pulled me from sleep.I had woken up but I didn't move from the bed. When she got tired of knocking, she pushed the door open and walked in. “Wake up, Will. It's your birthday today.”I kept my eyes closed. She was announcing it like I didn't know that as well. “Will? William?” Her voice got closer and soon I could feel her presence right next to me. “Wake up, William. You are not usually a deep sleeper.” At this point, her face was right next to mine. “Are you doing it on purpose?”I responded by pulling her onto the bed and wrapping my arms around her. I let out a satisfied sigh, loving the feeling of her body mashed up against mine.“Will!” Her voice was muffled since her face was buried in my chest.“It's my birthday today.” I reminded her of what she said just a few seconds ago. “Let me enjoy this for a moment, please.”“Will.” She mumbled for the last time before she eventually g
Eliana Brown ~•~I was crazy.I had told myself to do a lot of thinking before I approached Will but as soon as he cornered me, I melted into his arms immediately. It was scary. He had so much power over me and he didn't even know it.It wasn't the first time we were kissing but unlike the first time, I felt really embarrassed. I didn't even know how to leave my room, but if I didn't do that soon, I was going to be very late.Taking a deep breath, I finally arranged my bag and opened my room door quietly. When it was open, I looked around the hallway. Thankfully, it was all clear.I held my heels in my hand and tiptoed down the stairs. I didn't dare go into the kitchen no matter how thirsty I was. I kept my gaze on my focus as I slowly approached the corridor.So close to teaching my target, I was beyond shocked when I felt an arm around my waist. I didn't even have enough time to be surprised before I was suddenly lifted up.“What are you doing, Will!?” I yelled in horror as he plac
William Caddel~•~I kissed her immediately and I could feel it when her defenses fell. She melted against me and kissed me back with equal fervor, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me closer to herself.I groaned against her lip in satisfaction but for some reason, the sound had her pulling away to stare at me.I didn't give her time to reflect on her actions as I pulled her in for another kiss. This time, she wrapped her legs around my waist, eliminating any space between us. I was pressed up against her and my hands were running up and down her body, trying to touch her everywhere at the same time.“Will.” She whispered against my lips.“Hmm?” I captured her bottom lip in my mouth once again, sucking without restriction. When I pulled away, her cheeks were flushed and her lips were swollen. “Yes?”“I- I missed you.”I felt my chest tighten with excitement. When I first saw Eliana, I had thought it was just a minor obsession that would eventually pass. I thought she was j
William Caddel~•~As I brainstormed on ways to make my woman forgive me, I was interrupted by a call.It happened to be Duke. I frowned, wondering why he was calling. We just parted ways a few hours ago. I answered the call and brought my phone up to my ear. “Yeah?”“I came over to drop some files before I take my leave.”I rolled my eyes. “You could have dropped them at the office. Also, why are you calling me? Can't you just head up?” He had unrestricted access to my house and could come and go as he pleased.“Well, that's the thing. I saw a familiar face lurking around the complex.”“Who?”“Eliana’s ex.” He answered. “I'm not sure what he's trying to do but he's not going in or leaving. He's just there.” How he managed to figure out where she lived wasn't my problem, but didn't he know that a woman typically lived with her husband? He was getting close to stalking at this point and I only needed one mistake from him to throw him in jail. I didn't mind if it made me sound like a b
Eliana Brown~•~“So you've completely forgiven him then?” Catherine asked over the phone.“When did I say that?”“You just came back from having dinner with him, babe. Do you even need to say it?”I bit down on my bottom lip, feeling stupid. I had made a fuss about how he had behaved, even went as far as running away from his place, only to come back to him without hesitation. “I'm such a fool, aren't I?”I didn't just come back to his house. I was even helping to plan his birthday. I was going out of my way to do something for him despite being angry at him and when he asked me out for dinner, I couldn't help but say yes.In my defense though, I was happy that my boss came back from his office angrier than she was when she left. It meant that he didn't try to coddle her feelings when she went to complain about me. William had always been a straightforward man but it seemed like he never explicitly rejected her. I assumed he did so, which was why she came back angry. My stupid ass sa
William Caddel~•~I was in my office, working when Duke suddenly came in. “Olivia is here to see you.”I frowned. “She didn't inform me beforehand.”Duke shrugged. “She looks angry though.”I let out a sigh. She was difficult to handle whenever she was angry. I could only hope she wasn't making things hard for Eliana. Eliana would never let me know even if she was being bullied. “Let her in.”As soon as I said those words, Olivia came through the door, not waiting for Duke to send her in. Duke bit down on his lip, holding his laugh as he exited the office, leaving us alone together.“Is there a problem?” I questioned, not looking up from my work.She stomped toward my desk and banged something on it. It was my birthday invitation card. What had Eliana done? Why did she invite her?“I would have thought our years of friendship would mean something to you.” She hissed. “You couldn't even invite me yourself. A simple text or call would have sufficed but you just had to go through your w
Eliana Brown ~•~I placed a knock on my boss’s door and waited for her to permit me before I walked in.She was surprised to see me in her office but was also quick to mask it and look away.“I'm sure whatever you need to tell me can be passed down from your department head.” She spoke, not caring to look at me. She didn't try to hide her hatred for me. She hated me even more for the fact that firing me would be directly going against William; her investor and the man she loved.I didn't know if it made me a bad person but I didn't try to sympathise with her. If anything, I was here to rub my marriage in her face. She would fire me if she could. Why should I try to coddle her feelings?I walked closer to her desk and placed the envelope on it without you saying anything.She stared at the envelope, then at me, and back at the envelope. Slowly but surely, she took hold of it and opened it to reveal the invitation inside. When she saw what it was, she laughed humorlessly. “You've bee
Eliana Brown~•~William had taken me out to hang out with his friends. I didn't even know when I agreed to follow him since I lowkey resented his friends.They all knew all that he had done. They watched me fall for the man stupidly. They most likely thought I was a naive fool stupid enough to fall for someone like their friend. I was especially angry at Duke. He was with us almost every weekday. He even helped William make plans for us. I wondered what he was thinking each day when he saw me.However, hanging out with them wasn't so bad, especially with the presence of Camilla, who claimed all three men as her fathers. There was a bit of tension but Camilla and her new nanny eased it.When Camilla got tired, it was time to go home, but instead of going home, William suggested we visit his grandfather.“He's getting weaker by the day but refuses to admit it.” He had told me. It was enough to convince me.I didn't see the man much since he was always in the hospital but he was genuine
William Caddel~•~Eliana was lowering her guard against me and I couldn't be happier.She was not going out of her way to speak to me but she wasn't avoiding me anymore either. It could only get better from there. She answered my questions politely rather than being sarcastic or making a snarky remark. I was happy about that.After her crazy day at work the previous day, it was finally the weekend. “How do you want me to deal with your ex?” I asked as I joined her on the couch. She shifted to the edge a bit but I pretended not to notice.“Must you?”“How persistent is he?” “Quite a lot.”“Then I must,” I told her honestly. He looked violent and it seemed like he might have truly hurt her the previous day if I hadn't intervened in time. I couldn't just sit still and wait for him to attack her. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I didn't know that he was tamed yet. “So tell me how to deal with him.”Her cheeks heated up. “Why are you asking me that? How would I know?”It was cut
