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

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

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~•~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~•~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

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

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

Eliana 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 ki

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
