FALLING FOR THE MAN I MARRIED

Gabriel Wilsons, the well known 'devil' in the whole business industry of Chicago. He has everything that you wish for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's in love. He's still in love with the woman from his past. The same woman he has given everything he had before, but eventually betrayed him, left him and shattered his heart into pieces. And because of that, he turned into a cold, heartless, rude and an arrogant billionaire who will do everything to seek revenge and to show her that she's no longer important in his life. Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing. That's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfil my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. Then he offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "She's pregnant." He blurted out and I almost fall from where I stood. I just grasped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart was unbearable but I managed to stay calm. "Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement. Well, I can't call it as cheating because she's the real reason why we were pretending as a couple. And that's when I made the biggest decision in my life. Taking the biggest secret in me, that I've already fallen in love with him---- I left him. Then eventually I learned a lesson. 'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who can't see your worth and only uses you as his way to get someone he loves back into his life."

CHAPTER 18: The ‘Love' Endearment

"Why are you late?"

The first thing my boss asked me, the moment I walked into his office. His face was masked by old 'Gabriel's demeanour.

I put the coffee on his desk and tried to behave normally as I smiled at him.

"I'm sorry, Sir. My mom called me late last night, so I sleep late. It won't happen again."

He stared at me for a few seconds before his lips curled up in a devilish smile.

"It's okay 'love'. Since it's your first time being late, I'll just let it pass."

Huh! To hell with the professionalism---- I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Don't call me that, Mr Wilsons! We are in the office and we've already talked about it!"

"Oh, yes love. We already talked about the deal, but calling you love wasn't included in it. We agreed that we will keep our relationship in this whole building and that's your idea. Well, I have mine too. We will call each other the 'love' endearment whenever we are alone."
