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

    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

    William Caddel~•~Eliana was a lot clingier than usual.I didn’t know if she just wanted to keep an eye on me or if she was actually suspicious of my movement but she insisted on following me when I told her I had somewhere to be.Not wanting to directly lie to her, I just told her I had to meet with someone but according to her, it was the weekend and she was meant to spend it with me. When I told her it was important, she insisted on accompanying me. Denying her would either lead to more suspicions or make her mad so I accepted it.Duke was driving me today even if I had given him time off. The last break I’d given him wasn’t used to completion because he came back for my birthday and my grandfather died the morning after. He didn’t want me to handle Eliana’s ex alone so I also had no choice but to let him come along.On our way to the restaurant I told him to meet me at, my phone rang.I brought it out of my pocket only to see that it was Sandra calling. I let out a sigh. I had be

    Eliana Brown~•~I knocked on Mr. Edward’s office once before I opened it and stepped in. “You wanted to see me, sir?”Without saying a word, he handed a document to me. I opened it to see that it was the sales report for the last month. “Uhhh…” I trailed off, not knowing what he wanted from me.“You’re doing the report again and you have…” he looked at the watch on his wrist. “About five minutes to get there.”My eyes went wide. I was surprised he was letting me report to William even if Bianca was present. Mr Edward had never liked me and even after finding out I was married to the boss of his boss, he still didn’t care. According to him, it made sense why I was hired. However, he thought I was capable so he wasn’t too bothered by my presence.“Really?”“Four minutes, fifty-two seconds.”“I’ll be on my way immediately!” I exclaimed and rushed out of his office. It seemed like he was finally warming up to me. The other day, he allowed me to meet a client on my own. Thankfully, the c

    William Caddel~•~One week later I was finally back at work.Eliana resumed work way before me since her boss already didn’t like her. She didn’t want to give her reasons to fire her.The news of my grandfather’s death had hit the internet and every call I got these days was to offer condolences to me. I wouldn’t lie. It was quite tiring but I understood that my grandfather had a lot of friends and business partners before he retired and left the company for me.I had been tempted to have a private funeral but I wanted his friends to be able to say goodbye to him one last time, which was why I announced his death and the funeral to the public.The funeral happened two days ago yet people were still calling to sympathize with me.A knock on the door interrupted me from my thoughts and without waiting for permission to enter, Duke came in, slamming the door close behind him.I cocked my head at him. “Is something wrong?”“You have an unwanted visitor.”“Who?”“Eliana’s ex.”I frowned.

    Eliana Brown~•~After being recognized as William’s wife publicly, it was a lot easier to navigate expensive places.Back when I was just Eliana Brown, it was very hard to even book a reservation for places like this. If my friends and I wanted to dine in such a nice restaurant, we had to book several months ahead, but this time, I could just waltz in and get what I wanted without any stress. I wouldn’t lie. William’s connections were quite good. It was precisely because the owner knew William which was why the staff prioritized me as soon as I got there. It felt good. Also, I didn’t have to keep William waiting. He finally wanted to eat something. If I took too long, he could change his mind. I couldn’t have that.They boxed my order and the owner handed it to me personally, telling me to send his regards to William. I nodded and assured him we’d visit soon before I left and flagged down a taxi.The ride back home wasn’t long but I was impatient and kept bouncing my leg each second

    William Caddel ~•~Fate was playing a cruel trick on me.I lost my parents a long time ago at the same time. At the time, I thought my life was over, but my grandparents took me in. Since I was young when my parents died, I didn’t have many memories of them.I didn’t have any uncles, aunties, or cousins that I could lean on. I only had my grandparents.Twenty years ago, my grandmother got very sick and passed away, so it had just been me and my grandfather for the past twenty years.He got older each day and even more weaker as the days went by. I saw this coming. I knew it would happen soon but I still wasn’t prepared for it.Even after the official announcement of his death, I still couldn’t believe he was gone. As though I was in a trance, I dealt with all the paperwork and did all the necessary things to transfer his corpse to the mortuary.Eliana accompanied me every step of the way, staying close by as though she was scared I would snap.I wouldn’t. I felt numb. It hadn’t prop

    Eliana Brown~•~I woke up to the sound of rustling on the bed.My head was aching from all the alcohol I had the previous night, but William’s footsteps were too heavy to ignore.I rubbed my eyes as I sat up on the bed, wondering why William was up. It was four o’clock in the morning. Even if he was an early riser, he didn’t wake up so early these days.I watched as he dashed into the closet and came back out dressed in less than a minute.“What’s going on? Where are you going?”He turned to look at me when he heard my voice. “The hospital.”Every atom of sleep cleared from my eyes immediately. “What? Is something wrong with Grandpa?” As I asked that question, I was already getting out of bed. Thankfully, William hadn’t taken off my clothes last night so I didn’t have to bother about finding clothes.He nodded as he grabbed his car keys from the nightstand as well as his phone.“I’m coming with you.”“You had a stressful night. You don’t have to.”“I will.” I rushed into the bathroom

    William Caddel ~•~It didn’t matter that we just had a bunch of food and snacks with my grandfather. Eliana took me to dinner again.Well, we went roller skating first, which was chaotic because she had never done it in her life, but after that, we went to a restaurant.I was forty, but apart from my parents, no one had put in this much effort to celebrate my birthday. They died pretty early, which meant I hadn’t been celebrated like this in more than thirty years.If I wasn’t already married to Eliana, I would propose to her again. I didn’t regret any of my actions because she was the best thing to ever happen to me.I looked at my watch. “It’s already past ten. Do you have something else in mind or is this the end?” I couldn’t help but question because it felt like she wanted to celebrate every second of the day with me.Eliana giggled, already feeling tipsy from the one glass of wine she drank. She was such a lightweight. “One more once we’re done here.”I was intrigued, wondering

    William Caddel~•~I was still surprised as Eliana opened the door and exited the car. I followed suit anyway.“Happy birthday, dude. Have a nice day.” Duke waved to me and started the engine again when we were out of the car.I didn't even have the time to answer him before he drove off, leaving me and Eliana alone. She was struggling with the bag and the box of cake, but when I offered, she slapped my hand away. “I can do it.”“I know.” I humored her. “I just want to help.”“You're the birthday boy, you shouldn't have to do anything.”My face scrunched up in displeasure. “Don't call me that again. It's insulting.”“My bad.” Eliana laughed. “I forgot the age you're turning today.”“Let's just go in.” I took the beg from her and headed for the hospital doors. She ran behind me and tried to take the bag from me but I didn't let her.Knowing we were obviously going to my grandfather's room, I went straight there. For years, I had spent my birthday with my grandfather, but I never expec

    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
