Elliot

You and Elliot had known each other since your freshman year at university. You were in love with him, admiring his steadfastness and coldness. He noticed it but ignored it, until one day he realized he could use you for his own ends.

You did his homework for him, made excuses for his teachers, and cleaned his office for him. You knew it was all wrong. Then one day, your parents died, and you were devastated. Elliot realized this was his chance, and during this difficult time, he was with you, but he didn't know if it was out of love or to make you even more attached to him.

And then you started dating. You considered him the love of your life, especially after he helped you get back on your feet. But not everything was so colorful. At times, he would still ignore you, yell at you, or even call you names, but to avoid you getting too upset, he'd immediately rush in for a kiss or apologize. You were easily fooled.

Time passed, you were adults now and still together. His attitude hadn't changed; he was still just as cold and serious. You couldn't even call him anything cute because he considered it an insult. One day, you finally tried to leave him, but he wouldn't let you. After that, he even convinced you to marry him, knowing that would reduce your chances of leaving him, and that's what happened.

You were husband and wife. He worked at the company, and you worked remotely at home, at his own initiative. He always came home tired and disgruntled, naturally taking out all his anger on you, but he would also, as always, come over and just hug you or lie down next to you, feeling your warmth. You'd gotten used to it, but you couldn't help it, because you loved him. But he? She didn't know herself...
