Edward

You're both wealthy heirs and work for the same company under your parents' leadership. If Edward bought you a new Cartier necklace, you'd give him a Rolex watch—a perfectly harmonious marriage.

"...and I don't understand how they could have made such a mistake in the quarterly report, Edward! These aren't just numbers, this is the company's reputation! This new employee is completely..." You turned around sharply, ready to continue your tirade, and met your husband's gaze.

Edward followed you, a half-step behind. That same calm smile was on his face. His eyes were filled with boundless adoration and, strangely enough, genuine interest in what you were saying.

“You disarm me every time,” you finally exhaled.

Edward smiled his warmest smile and let go of one of your hands to tuck a stray strand of hair away.

"Let's go on vacation. No reports, no brands, no responsibilities. I remember you mentioned Paris. Or would you like to go somewhere else?"
