-Eleonora-
I woke up happy. I showered with a smile on and dressed in my black suit. Today I felt invincible.
Putting some jewelry on and simple make-up, I looked at the mirror appreciating myself. I grabbed my black heels and walked in my soft slippers downstairs, once there I placed the hells on the floor.
I walked to the kitchen preparing some cereal while I watched Connor and two bodyguards standing at the front of the elevator like damn statues, I raised my eyebrow wondering what they were doing but I shrugged that off, I was in a good mood and nothing would stop me today.
Dorothy greeted me with a kiss on the cheek "I prepared breakfast for you too" she said pointing at the dinning table were my dear husband was at the top of the table
"Thanks Dorothy but I want something simple, I will stick with the Cheerios" I said shaking the box she nodded happily I analyzed all the food in the table since fruits to those weird-looking glasses with a green drink on them making my face change in pure disgust, what the hell was that?!
I quickly ate on the kitchen contour and placed all my dishes on the dishwasher making Dorothy look at me "I could wash that Miss"
"You already do too much" I declared, I put on my heels leaving the slippers next to the stairs grabbed my sunglasses who were near the coat hanger and walked to Connor. "Good morning Connor" I smiled he raised an eyebrow at my happy behavior
"Good morning Miss" he greeted I walked past him and those gorilla-like bodyguards entering the elevator. I will be the first to get to work, lovely...
I smiled while checking myself out in the elevator mirror. What a great day to be me, I am finally winning.
I got in a black range rover car, I supposedly gained bodyguards and drivers when I said I do and signed the contract, however, I didn't need all of those so-called 'perks'.
He drove me to work like I asked him to. I entered the building with a smile on and a lot of faces turning my way, whispering and googling me from head to toe. I passed through the entrance very well there was no need of anything, seems like everybody knows me.
I walked to the big elevator and clicked on the number 39 happily wanting for it open doors at the desired place.
Once there I greeted the receptionist it was a young man with an incredible sense of style I looked at him smirking. "Can you show me my office please?" I asked, his eyes were on his computer but suddenly to me, his mouth making a O shaped and his eyes widen in surprise
"Girl where the fuck were you?" he asked, I smiled at his respond. He rapidly got up from his chair and hugged me tightly "How was the honeymoon?" he smirked, Miles loved the juicy detail
"Superb" I comented
"I need details" he said walking with me to my office
"You don't because he is my husband " I said putting my sunglasses upon my hair
"Oh look at her protective much" he joked "Damn you. I wish you to be you every single say. I'm seriously jealous of you"
I shook my head thinking how little does he know "So where is my assistant?"
"You know her... She is always late" he said laying on the frame of the door "but tell me" he squealed I looked at him for a brief moment "from one to ten?" he asked gesturing the numbers with his hands, I smiled missing this cocky Miles in my daily life, I started reorganizing my office the way I wanted "how good?" he widened his eyes
"Stop wanting to know my sexual life, get out" I laughed
"Ok ok... It's a 8 isn't it " I rolled my eyes at him, we were interrupted but a breathless Jennifer
"You're late" I told her smiling
"Oh freaking God you're here" she squealed quickly wrapping me up in a tight hug "I missed you so much, they were so mean to us"
"Glad, I'm here." I smiled tightening or hug "Now" I said grabbing her shoulders and making her take a step back "Give me all the information you have, our old partners, new partners, Maxwell's partners"
She took her hand to her head saluting me "yes, sir. Sir, yes! We have the job we had time three, I'll grab all the portfolios" she said
"Thank you! Let's start and do what we do best" I cheered

Blaze
I was sitting at my office looking at the screen of my computer but not paying attention, I was wondering how a simple win made her smile so victoriously. Her dimples were so deep in her face reflecting how annoyingly happy she was, she simply ate a small bowl of cereal and left nothing more always with that smile on her face, I stranged how she didn't urge to the pancakes over the table near me this if she even saw it, she was so focused on having that victorious smile that she was behaving weirdly not that she behaves normally... It was weirder than usual, and I didn't like that. Primarily due to my hurt pride... However I needed to shrug this off and focus on what I do best, work!
As I was about to start to do something a knock on my door was heard making megave permission to enter. Connor appeared in my vision with his usual tablet on his hands and a few papers over it.
"What is it?" I asked waiting for him to respond
"Sir, Cordova's opening is this Friday" he remembered me. I had forgotten about that party, Mr.Cordova had specifically begged to change the opening of his new hotel to his daughter's birthday "Will you attend?"
"I have too. It's an important opening and a lot of significant executives and other impresarios will be there" I comented, Connor shook his head making sure my presence would be certified to others, if other people got the message I would appear it will make the event richer and more people will appear. My presence attracts all kind of public, women, man, people interested in partnership, people interest in me, fans I think you may call it that, and of course more paparazzi and magazine plus I am now married this will be the first event we will appear in public. "Make sure to tell Eleonora about it, she will come too"
He nodded his head and quickly left my office closing the door behind him, I closed my eyes and focused on work

Friday night... I was so close of murdering Blaze right here right now, I was getting final touches on my makeup and hair and he kept banging on the bedroom door for me to get out. Do people not understand we take our time? I had a long brown shimmer dress on, it was a perfectly tight, making justice to my curves, I made a light make-up in my eyes, just some sparkles for the eyeshadow and a brown contours to my lips and a pumped gloss on, I was finishing curling my hair now...
"Hurry up, what the hell is the taking you so long?" I heard him from the outside banging on the door, impatient much?
I looked at myself in the mirror and after I finished curling I bounced my hair making that perfect volume sit on my hair. I had a layer cut so in these types of events my hair always helped me with how easy it was to make it look good.
I finalized with a touch of my favourite perfume grabbed a coat and I opened the door. I climbed down the stairs while watching Blaze nervously walking from one side to other "I'm here, jeez calm your horses" he looked at me following my voice, his expression was unreadable like most of the time really, I would say he seemed shocked but tried it to cover very well, his eyes monitored every move as I walked down the stairs, I gently put on my coat.
" What are you waiting for?" I asked looking at his dumbfounded face. He rapidly moved his head to the elevator calling it. I raised an eyebrow at his weird behaviour I shook it off taking a deep breath and mentalizing myself they once we would get out of here we were supposedly happily married.

We drove for about an hour, reaching to a beautiful hotel it looked like we were in Pennsylvania but the road trip wasn't that long for that, we were in a very far away and deserted state of New York.
We stooped at a huge magnificent hotel, it had some Romanian scent to it I just couldn't explain it but I was completely in love with it. People were getting out of fancy cars, with expensive dresses I looked at myself and made a cringe face, I can't believe I became one of them.
Blaze got out of the car extending his hand to me, 'helping' me out and being the gentleman he is...note the sarcasm, I have to compliment him though he is a great actor, not better than me but good.
He guided me through the hotel, knowing his way around following the red carpet. We met a beautiful inside decorated with some paintings in Victorian style, we were watching the surroundings my hand over his arm never talking a word to each other.
Our quietness was interrupted by very agitated women "Are you the Maxwells?"
We nodded heads in synch making a sigh of relief leave her mouth she reached her hand to her chest tired "Can we help?" I questioned worriedly for this woman
She fixed her glasses and nodded like she had a bubblehead "I need help it's about a dress and Miss Cordova" she said out of breath, I looked at Blaze and he looked back at me
"I think my wife has more knowledge in that department than I" he said
I looked at him with a 'are you serious?' face on "Are you passing the job to me honey?"
" I would never. I just know your capabilities" he smiled at me I just knew he was challenging me
"Show me the way" I told her she grabbed my hand pulling me out of Blaze's arm
"Quick" she mentioned guiding me through the hallways and stairs. She shoved me into a room were I was faced with a melodramatic and frightening scene.
We were in one of the rooms of this massive hotel, a big room like a suite I think there were girls everywhere freaking out, some shouting others crying, and one was having the worst day of her life screaming her heart out, waving her hands into her face probably making sure she didn't ruin her make-up...what the hell was going on in here?
"Who is that ?" A small red hair asked the woman who had pushed me to here
"Mrs.Maxwell"
"Oh my god Cynthia!" The caramel haired girl shouted, she was the one nervously walking side to side waving herself "I wanted Mr.Maxwell! He would solve this...My father says he solves everything" she said, I raised an eyebrow thinking what would Blaze solve n this situation
"I'm not him but maybe I can help..." I said a bit unsure almost sounding like a question
"Really?" She said in a sarcastic tone looking at me "Can you make a dress magically appear because I cannot wear this one thanks to my dad's little bitch!" she shouted angrily
Cynthia turned herself to me "Miss Cordova is quite angry because his father's girlfriend is wearing the same dress that she is wearing" she explained
"I cannot leave like this! That fucking whore is using a dress equal to mine! I took months to decide on my 21 birthday dress, I am the important person in here this is my party, my birthday and she made it on purpose I just want to kill her. I can't believe she dares to be my stepmother" she shouted angrily, her friends I presumed grabbed her trying to calm her. She had a very tight black dress, it looked like it was missing half of the dress between her boobs not to talk about how short it was, it was a deep v-neck bodycon dress. I wasn't a fan of that dress but she wears what she likes. I could see her problem, it was in fact infuriating especially on such a big day.
I smiled in anticipation having an idea "I will see what I can do" I quickly left the stressed girls and took my phone out of the pocket of my fur coat and instantly called to the hopeful savior
"Andre?"
"Hey sweetie how are you?" he questioned from the other side of the line
"Are you still in the clothes factory?" I asked with hope
"Yes, babe! They are doing great my designs are coming off perfect."
I gave a sigh of relief "I need your help"
"What is it? Is everything alright?"
"No... I am at Cordova's hotel and the birthday girl and future stepmother have the same dress and I guess it wasn't accidentally" I commented
"Oh that's awful." he mentioned "What do you want me to do?"
"I know you're close to here so could you bring a spare dress?"
"Of course, I'm at your service, send me the location" he asked and I did
"She's 21, grab something that will make her the star of the night, she will fit in an S, 36."
I could hear him humming as if taking notes "Glitter?" he asked, I smiled knowing it would be a good idea
"Perfect"
"I will be there in 20" he said hanging up the phone I walked inside the roo the give the good news
"I got a dress for you" I said making the girl scream in joy running directly at me and hugging me, I hugged her back a bit scared.
20 minutes had passed I was now with the dress inside a suit holder running to room 173 where Everly was. In 20 minutes I met the girls now I am more like a savior and a role model to look up to especially when they found out I married Blaze they all freaked out asking me dozens of questions, bad nasty questions about his personal attributes in bed which I tremendously tried to avoid the best I could.
I knocked the door and someone let me in "here it is" I said putting the dress over the bed "Quick. C'mon!" I took the dress out and handed it to her. I saw her big blue eyes widen in adoration, she smiled and abruptly took the dress out of my hands.
The dress was beautiful once again Andre did not disappoint, It was a white glitter dress, topless with a delicate glitter vail falling to the ground, but her skirt was short not as short as previously, and the dress made no justice to her breasts, and to her hourglass shape. The girls loved it and so did Everly, I talked about Andre's business and they were absolute fans... It's great to help and work along the way too. I smiled victoriously seeing the birthday girl happily taking photos with her friends and posing for some paparazzi I left them trying to discover my escort.
I found him talking to an old man with a woman by his side, with a familiar small black dress. I walked to them giving all my attention to the woman, she was moving in a weird way, her chest was upwards and she seemed to be controlling her breath, I watched her smirk while her eyes didn't leave Blaze's face while her future husband was by her side. This girl was sticking out her tits to my husband's. I smiled to myself at her naiveness and shamelessly.
"Here she is" Blaze said when I came over extending his free hand while the other had glass probably with whiskey on it, I grabbed it and he pulled me to his side placing his hand over my hips. I tried not to flinch at his touch or proximity, but I can't deny this was all new and out of my comfort zone. " My Wife"
"It's a pleasure Mrs. Maxwell," Mr.Cordova said holding my hand and kissing it, I retribuied with a smile
"The pleasure it's mine Mr.Cordova"
"Your husband was just telling me about work, but now that you're here I have to ask if you have any tips for the marriage life" He asked laughing to himself, Blaze retribued his laugh just to please while I looked at the young girl next to Mr. Cordova and now in front of me.
"You are marrying?" I asked, I already knew it but they didn't know that
"Yes, to the love of my life" he said quickly kissing her lips, as he was about to pull away she grabbed his face and put her tongue inside his mouth enduring the kiss.
Ew. I will have to wash my eyes with bleach after this. My face could not stop from doing a disgust expression once they separated I quickly smiled to cover it up.
"You seem happy" I stated "May I ask how was your love story?" I asked looking at the girl in front of me I was very curious about this relationship truly smelled like bullshit to me
"How was it sugar ?" The man asked "Tell them Paris" Her name was Paris, like the capital.
"Well I found this handsome sweet cake when I was on a school trip at one of his Hotel's " She said looking at him, I couldn't control my expressions right now, this was so fake and cringe "I saw him and it was love at first sight" she mentioned kissing his white beard
Really? Love at first sight?
"We met in secret, by the pool or the garden and our love story began. I'm finishing graduation so we can marry"
"Cute" I commented "Pretty sure illegal but cute" I said earning a elbow bump from Blaze
"College graduation?" Blaze asked to ignore my comment
"No silly" She laughed making him weird eyes "High School Graduation" I let out a sigh almost like a laugh, I bit my lip so my laugh wouldn't escape, lord help me, I saw Blaze's widden eyes and pressed lips, I just want to laugh.
"Well, Thank god you're not in Nebraska or Missipi!" I told them making them laugh, I didn't exactly know why... Basically what I meant was that in Nebraska the minimum age to marry is 19 and in Mississippi is 21.
"She is from Nebraska" Mr. Cordova commented "We have to wait a whole year because she wants to marry in her state"
"Oh understandable. I'm sure it will be a beautiful ceremony" I said, Mr. Cordova smiled and patted Blaze's back
"I'm happy to see that you're happy Mr.Maxwell enjoy your married life I sure will enjoy mine when I get there" he told Blaze making a word laugh coming from his mouth like a winning laugh sounding literally like 'Ha Ha' he walked confident to his wife and left us there, his hand slid to her ass and he squeezed it.
"Oh please " I said turning back putting my hands to my eyes trying to remove this images, I heard Blaze's little laughs "Why are you laughing?"
"Your reaction was funny" he said with a simple smile, I think this is the first time I see him give a truthful smile
"That was disgusting and illegal"
"I think she is over 18 now" he replied
"Is she?" I questioned he shrugged his shoulders, I grabbed a glass from a silver tray that one of the employees was carrying and took a big sip
"Let them be. They are in love."
"They are clearly not in love" I said finishing the glass, He raised an eyebrow questioning my comment "She was totally onto you." I said pointing at his face "Swinging her breasts when I was not here, she was just waiting for the opportunity"
His smile grew wider and I made a questionable look "I don't see the fun in this"
"Why do you sound jealous?" he questioned taking a sip of his whiskey
"Are you drunk? I am just commenting on what I saw. She's definitely waiting for a bigger mine"
"Because she is a gold digger?" He questioned not holding back his smirk
"Yes.." I looked at him and his strange behavior "You should be careful. You're next in line" I pointed it out
"Can't" he said lifting his left hand and showing me his silver ring and looked at him with an unamused face on "Plus she is too young. There are nicer snacks around" I rolled my eyes at his stupid commented well I knew already he was very famous within the ladies but he could respect them and not treat them like snacks
"Easy there Casanova. Don't forget they have to like you to be with you. It's a fifty-fifty thing"
He rolled his eyes but his small smirk never left.
