I felt dizzy while feeling my rushing adrenaline.

I got a job at The Knight Industries as a Quotes and Add Designer in the Marketing and Advertising Department of The Knight Industries.

I got an email from the company, Knight Industries, about my job acceptance. They are one of the best and biggest industries in the whole USA.

It's mostly impossible to get a job there. I heard they hire the best of the best.

Well, I have always been good at my studies from my childhood with great grades, but there are some dark memories as well. I shook my head. I don't want to think about it now, I thought.

I have been searching since this morning in my wardrobe for what to wear. Normally I don't put so much effort into my clothing, but I have to give a good impression on my first day of work. It is, after all, The Knight Industries.

Finally, after thinking and searching for so long, I found the perfect clothes.

I put on a white blouse, a black fitted pencil skirt, and white heels. I applied only lip balm on my lips. I put mascara on my eyes and the rest of my face I leave natural. It doesn't need makeup.

After that, Olivia comes to my place.

"Ready, Eter," I overheard her voice while I was applying moisturiser over my face.

"Yes," I said while coming out of my room, keeping important documents I needed there.

When Olivia saw me, her head tilted slightly to the side.

"Eter, you look so beautiful," she said to me as her lips parted.

"Thank you, fan," I said to her and winked playfully.

"You know, if I was a boy, then I could have married you right here." She nudged me playfully, and I gave her a flying kiss while keeping my documents in my purse.

"Okay, let's go. I don't want you to be late on the first day of your work," she said.

"Yeah," I said while sitting in the passenger seat of her car.

Finally, after a half-hour, we arrived at Knight Industries.

I gasped while seeing the biggest and most stunning skyscraper I have ever seen. The Knight Industries written over it.

This name and skyscraper appear to be quite elegant.

I saw guards standing outside the industry. Protect it like soldiers protect the palace.

"Bye, Eter, all the best on your first day," Olivia said to me, giving me a hug.

"Thank you," I said to her while closing my eyes and taking a calming breath.

"Wait, Eter, I have something for you here," Olivia said, giving me a packed cup of Oreo shake.

"Wow Oli, thank you so much. I need this girl. You know me very well," I said while sagging against the side of her car, with a slow smile.

"I've known you since childhood, and whenever you're stressed, you feel better after drinking an Oreo shake; remember childhood memories," she said, smiling.

"Yeah, childhood days are the best," I said.

"Okay, Eter go, otherwise you will get late," she said, squeezing my hand.

"Yeah," I said while getting out of the car.

When I go towards the entrance, the guard asks me for my ID and a letter.

I showed him a letter and I got through the company email.

Then he gave me a curt nod to go inside.

"Thank you," I said to him with a little smile.

When I walked into the building

My heartbeat increased as my mouth felt so dry, staring at its Elegant and Grace can't describe this place. It is so amazing and beautiful with a stunning interior. My trance was broken when someone accidentally bumped into me.

I rubbed my legs several times into the carpet before entering this amazing skyscraper.

I shook my head. Still, my mind is trying to calm itself.

"Hey," I said to the receptionist, "She is blonde with a beautiful face and she is wearing a blue pencil skirt and white blouse."

"Yes," She looked at me with a cheerful smile. Seeing her smile, my mood started to lighten up.

I am new here. I just got a job, "I said to her.

"Name," she asked.

"Eternity Granger," I said to her.

She types what seems like my name on the keyboard of the laptop. After some seconds, she meets my gaze.

"Report to Assistant editor, 27th floor. Report to Elena Cary. She is the head of the department," she said to me while pointing towards the lift.

"Thank you," I said to her with a tingling warmth in my limbs.

When I went towards the elevator, it had a huge crowd among it. I stood among the men in business suits and nicely dressed blonde girls.

My gaze was drawn to another elevator, which appeared luxurious despite having a platinum border around it; however, it appeared abandoned.

I go towards it.

"What if I took this?" I thought, giggling and about to enter it.

"It's for private use, mam, but the only boss who can use it," the guard said to me, giving me an apologetically wry smile.

I nodded. I could feel my skin picking up. By my behaviour earlier

Why do I have to poke my nose everywhere?

I was about to go down the public elevator when my leg hit something hard and I was ready to fall on the floor. I quickly closed my eyes. I felt goosebumps over my hands. With accelerated breathing rate, I felt my body muscles getting tense.

But nothing happened until I felt an arm around my waist and felt my body tense with the touch of the person who was holding me by the waist.

Slowly, I opened my eyes. I saw those stunning crystal blue eyes again.

Wait, he is that man who saved me yesterday from a freaking accident, but he is rude as hell towards me. I looked at his hand, but he was dressed in an Armani suit, so it was hidden.

Glancing up, I saw his side profile: Aaron Knight! owner of Knight & Co.

Bye, world! Please wear bright colours at my funeral.

Is that Aaron Knight? Oh my God, that's why I've had a feeling I've seen him somewhere, in top magazines and newspapers.Why that day I couldn't recognise him then? Maybe because my mind was fully focused on the accident that time.

"You again," he said to me with rigid stiffness in his muscles. I could feel his hands tight around my waist with his eyes darkening.

Why is he always pissed off at me?

He quickly jerked his hands off of my waist. I balanced myself, standing up straight.

Without even a single glance, he goes towards his private elevator with a man and a group of guards trailing behind him as loyal tails.

"Seems like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," I muttered to myself.

I can feel my weight shifting side by side. I go towards another elevator where people are already there. Finally, when I arrive at the 27th floor, I go towards the office of the head of the department.

When I reached the office, I knocked on her door. "Ma'am, this is Eternity Granger," I said.

"Oh yes, honey, please come in," she said with a very cheerful voice.

"Thank you," I said to her while sitting on the seat in front of her. She invited me to sit

Your grades are very impressive. Your certificates in art design are also very impressive. Even your points in an interview at our company are very nice. So, I hope you won't disappoint me, "she said to me softly.

"No, ma'am, I will try to give my best to you," I said to her, and she chuckled.

Mrs. Elena called out, "Nancy."

After that, a girl whom I can see named Nancy comes to the cabin.

"Yes, ma'am," she said, smiling at Mrs.Carry.

"Please show Miss Granger her desk, Nancy dear;"

"Yes, ma'am, of course," she said to her, smiling at me.

Before I go, Mrs. Elena Cary said to me, "I hope you will enjoy working for Knight." I nodded to her.

"Of course ma'am," I said.

Nancy comes out of her office.

"Here is your desk. Please make yourself comfortable," she said to me, smiling widely.

"Thank you," I told her.

"What is your name?" she asked me.

"Hii, I am Eternity," I said.

"Wow, Eternity, such a lovely name. My name is Nancy Martin, and here is your report for which you must work," she said, handing me a file.

After getting a brief description of my work from her, I sat down at my desk after completing my file. I sighed.

And thinking about Aaron, I can't believe he saved me that day, but he was always so cold and pissed off with me. I don't know why How is his hand still hurting him? I didn't even say thank you to him. He never talked straight with me.

Eternity's pov

After 2 weeks

It's been two weeks since I started working here at Knights Empire Industry.

I must say, I enjoyed my work here. I mean, everyone is so friendly here with me except that arrogant Aaron Knight, owner, and CEO of the Knights empire.

Avery, the receptionist whom I met on the first day, also ended up being my good friend.

So, now I have a really interesting and amazing workplace.

Well, before coming, I always buy coffee.

One for Mrs. Elle Clark and receptionist Avery and, of course, for me, it's become my daily routine

I am wearing a black dress reaching below my thigh and wearing a white jacket above it with black boots. I tied my long brown hair into a ponytail.

I was just getting away from Starbucks, grabbing a packet that contained three cups of coffee.

Before I could make it towards the skyscraper of the Knight Empire,

A man in a black hoodie. His face is covered with a cap of his black hoodie.

He handed me a brown folder and said, "Keep it." He mentioned to me

"What is this?" I asked as I tilted my head quizzically.

But he spoke nothing and rapidly went aside from my way.

I stood there with a small gasp and stared at the folder.

"What was that for?" I whispered and then decided that I should open this folder when I reach the office.

I came to the Skyscraper of the Knight Empire.

Then I put a cup of coffee on Avery's desk. That receptionist ended up being my good friend.

She smiled at me. "Eter, you don't need to," she said.

"Come on, at least this I can do for my good friend," I said to her.

Then I put coffee at Mrs. Elle Clark's, head of my department office. "Thank you, dear," she said kindly to me.

I said to her with a dazed look of bewilderment because I was thinking about the brown folder in my bag which that mysterious hooded man gave me.

"What happened, dear? You seem worried," she whispered to me.

"Nothing just seems like I woke up too early," I said while glancing around the room or refusing to make eye contact with her.

Then I came into my desk. I stared at that folder; I leaned my head over my chair while chewing my lip and opened that folder.

When I opened that folder, my skin gets tingled seeing what was in it

It was confidential information about Knight Empire, my workplace, and also some very personal information about deals that are going to be cracked by our company.

But strange, this is very confidential information, which is mainly only for the boss and owner of the company.

What is this doing to me and, most importantly, who was that mysterious man?

I should tell him everything.

I quickly go towards the elevator with that brown folder.

And go towards floor 24, the CEO's Floor.

When I arrived at the CEO's floor, I quickly went towards his office.

I met his assistant, Ancy, outside his office.

"Hey, Ancy," I said to her.

"Oh Eter." "Hi, how are you girl," she said to me, smiling cheerfully.

"Yeah, can I meet Mr. Knight, please. It's urgent," I asked her while sweat was coming down from my forehead, as I felt tingling cramps in my stomach.

"Um, Eter." I am sorry but Sir is not here. He is in another branch of the company which is in California, "she said to me, smiling in apology."

"Um, okay," "I said in a low whisper while clutching that folder so tightly, I could feel my nails getting dig to do hard.

"Is there anything important you can tell me?" she said

"N... Nothing, okay, see you around," I said to her and comes out from CEO's floor

It was an evening I was working on files given to me

Someone comes and stands before my desk. It is a bodyguard.

"Excuse me, Miss Granger, you are called to Ceo Office," He said to me

"Okay," I said to him, standing up and going towards the elevator

When we arrived at Aaron's office,

I found two people one is a middle-aged man, and another is a girl less aged than that man and the team of lawyers least six lawyers sitting but my boss Aaron Knight he is not here

When they saw me, that middle-aged man stood up and said

"Miss Granger, good you come. I am Coyle. Now can you please tell us where you are in the morning and who you meet." He said to me, his face having a hard expression, which means no funny business, strictly business.

"It would be great if you told me why I am being questioned," I said matter-of-factly.

"Because of a crime investigation," The woman who was younger than him. She is shorter than him and has blonde hair, which is tied in a ponytail.

"According to surveillance and our investigation, you received a package from someone in the morning," and looked at me, and I remembered the package I received in the morning from a mysterious man.

"I did receive something," I said to them.

"Oh," the woman said, looking at me.

"Do you have that document?" Coyle asked me.

"Yes, it is at my desk," I said, shifting back and forth.

After a while, the guard brings that document from my desk.

When they opened it, they found all the important confidential documents about Knight Industries.

"Why would that man give these documents to you or if he has been collecting them for you?" Coyle asked me.

After an hour, they were investigating me, asking questions about the incident.

I was poking my tongue lightly into my cheek and inhaling a long breath. I already told them that I didn't know that hooded man, but they seemed to believe in me.

Finally, the CEO, Aaron Knight, that arrogant jerk, showed up in all business-like crisp wrinkles free Armani suit with two men following behind him.

Coyle, Abby He acknowledged them and looked at us sleepless. His deep crystal blue eyes stopped at me. He looked at me with a straight face. His hair was messed up like he had run his hand through it because of frustration. He looked exhausted, but still, he looked so handsome.

When I looked at him, I noticed his clenched jaw, intense eye contact, furrowed brows, and reddened skin.

"You," he shouted at me with furrowed eyebrows and clenched teeth, making my muscles tense up, making cramps in my stomach.

It seems like I am in great deep trouble.

Eternity's pov

I glanced at her, and her face lacked the glimmer that every girl's face has at her wedding; her hopes had been destroyed. I looked at me.

I'm wearing a lovely lace off-shoulder bridal gown. But my eyes are still swollen from sobbing all night. I used a lot of bb cream, concealer, and foundation to mask my tired face, but I still look like a crying mess.

Since childhood, I've had a lot of wedding fantasies, as my maternal grandma used to say.

Marriage isn't something you wear on your finger or sign on a piece of paper. It should be relished rather than endured. It's the coming together of two hearts that beat as one, each willing to make sacrifices for the happiness and well-being of the other. Marriage is so lovely that it would be a blooming rose in the natural world, with its dazzling petals permitted to unfold in the warm sunlight. Maybe that's why we offer roses to the people we care about and include them in our holy couplings so frequently. Marriage is a gift we offer to one other, a lifelong link between soul mates.

However, things are different in my situation. My soulmate isn't getting married to me. I'm being married to Aaron Knight, the Devil, and we'll never be one since I've always been a lone wolf.

He despises me because he only cares about his success, his name and celebrity, and his multibillion-dollar firm's profits because he believes I'm a traitor who might jeopardise his company and reputation.

Flashback

"You," he yelled, and I jolt back a little at the sound of his voice.

"I'd want to speak with her alone," he said, and everyone began to leave.

It's just him and me now.

He's approaching me now. I bowed my head because I lacked the strength to gaze into his ferocious angry eyes, which appear to burn me.

"Please trust me when I say that I did nothing wrong and that I don't even know that man," she said. Tears were about to pour from my eyes, but I didn't let them since I hadn't done anything wrong, I whispered in hushed tones. I've never deceived a friend or a family member.

"You know you might be found guilty and spend years in prison," he remarked bitterly.

"But I don't know that man. He comes and gives me that file before I could ask. He already goes," I said, feeling rooted to the spot.

"Stop lying." I know people like you who don't know anything except to betray people and grab black money, " "He said to me and my heart got shattered at his words."

How can he judge me without knowing the truth? Anger flooded inside me.

I know you are pissed off because of this data and personal information leak scandal, but no one gives you the right to talk to me like this. I won't appreciate the tone you are talking to me in. I can feel my vein that pulses, becomes engorged

After hearing my words, his hands clenched into fists, and he narrowed his eyes at me. Suddenly, he came close to me. He grabbed the wrist of my hand, put it on my back, and twisted it.

"Ah, I cried out," due to lack of energy shooting through my nerves.

"Don't dare raise your fucking voice on me, or I'll do something even worse than you could have imagined," he gritted to me.

A tear rolled down my eyes.

After some time, he pushed me away abruptly and I stumbled and slammed on the wall, falling down.

"I am prepared to return my complaint and investigation on you," he said, causing me to look at him with a small gasp.

"W...... What?" I whisper.

"But I have a condition," he said to me.

"W.. What is the condition?" I whisper, wondering what it could be.

"Marry Me," he said, and my body stiffened, as if I were about to pass out from dizziness.

"Sorry, I can't marry you," I quickly said to him.

"Well, think properly before refusing me. I knew everything about you." Your parents are divorced; your mother married another man and has her own family, just like your dad. He is also married to another woman and has his own family, and you live with your maternal grandmother, who is no more now, but your maternal grandmother's home is the only place you have as your maternal grandmother's last memory. "What if I burn down that house and auction that land?" he said to me, giving me "Try me," Look at.

My blood boils after hearing his words.

I felt an increase in my blood flow to my extremities.

My hands clenched into fists and I slapped him as hard as I could.

"You. How dare you?" He said dangerously and grabbed my arms so tightly that it was sure to leave bruises because it hurt so much and slammed me against the wall so hard that I fell on the harsh floor, crying in agony.

"Don't you dare ever lay your hands on me," He snarled at me, looking like he would kill me anytime.

"Now listen to me very carefully. You are marrying me and not even the heavens can stop me." He ordered while his chest was rising and falling rapidly with his hands clenched into fists.

"Why do you want to marry me?" I asked, still a crying mess.

Because I want to keep an eye on you until the investigation into the hooded man who gave you that folder is completed, and I want to punish you. I know you're planning to steal confidential information about my company, but prepare to face hell now," he said, his muscles and veins straining against his skin.

Flashback over

The door then slammed shut. Wilber, my younger cousin's brother, who is nine months younger than me, and Olivia, the son of my maternal uncle, visit me.

Olivia's eyes are swollen as well from crying, as I can tell.

She encircled me and shut off my air supply with her arms.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Eter," she whispered, her watery eyes blinking incessantly.

I looked down at my hands and responded, "Me too."

"Eter, because you're marrying Aaron, does that imply you're forgetting about "him?" she said, and my heart missed a beat.

I've avoided thinking about him for all these years. Eliot, I've had a crush on him since high school, but things changed after that horrible recollection, but I'll never forget him; he was my first and final love.

Then Wilber, my cousin's brother, approached me and hugged me, saying he didn't know anything about the forced marriage and that if he did, he would do anything to prevent it because he is my overprotective brother, but I have no choice but to marry him to preserve the last memory of my beloved grandmother.

"I can't believe my boo-boo has grown up when my little sister becomes 21 and is getting married," he remarked, cupping my face.

*************************

I felt a churning in my stomach and felt like my insides were vibrating as I gripped the bouquet and clutched the arm of my Brother Wilber tightly.

We enter the eternal and artistically furnished aisle of the church, which is adorned with white flowers and light pink tulips and seems like heaven.

And I saw him, my soon-to-be husband, that devil

He is so handsome and beautiful in his crisp blue wrinkle-free Armani suit, his dark black hair is styled back perfectly, and his powerful jaw is cleanly shaved. But I know the reality of this arrogant jerk for the world. He is so beautiful, of course, he is Multi-billionaire anyone's dream man, but he is a devil in disguise.

His gaze was drawn to mine, and I saw that my mouth was growing moist, that my saliva was increasing, and that my breath was becoming more rapid.

My limbs tremble. I felt an unusual emotion in his eyes for me as I totally glanced up at him, but he quickly swept it away with his normal icy demeanour.

I'm right next to him.

The priest began chanting wedding hymns, but my head is too fatigued to comprehend what I'm saying; I've had enough.

The priest began

"Do you accept the Eternity Granger to be wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or worse, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and obey, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance?"

"I do," Aaron said, and I felt fluttering and even mild pain in my chest.

The Priest said it again to me.

At first, I thought to say no, but soon realised my maternal grandma's house was her last memory. I have

My parents are divorced now. They have their own family.

So I only live with my maternal grandmother and grandfather.

My grandma is no more, but my grandpa is still alive and loves me a lot. I have to do this for their house, which is made from the savings they worked hard for, even though it has my childhood memories with them. My grandma's last memory

Closing my eyes, blocking every other thought, I say, "I do."

"Now I may pronounce you husband and wife, congratulations," the priest announced, beaming at us.

"Now you may kiss the bride," the priest said, and here my heart started pounding so fast in my chest.

No, I don't want to kiss him.I tightly closed my eyes. I had never been kissed before. I felt like I would pass out anytime from dizziness.

His eyes are also hard, with clenched hands and a flushed face. He also didn't want to kiss me. I can feel his ferocious gaze on me, but there are too many people around.He leaned forward, and I closed my eyes because of anxiety. I felt his lips brush into mine like a feather. It felt so divine. I don't know why, but it pleases my heart so much. He pulled apart from me.

People started coming toward us to congratulate us and thank us, but Aaron was standing like a rock.

A handsome rock ugh shut up stupid inner voice, he's a Devil.

Well, after some time, I realised he was not beside me. I looked around to find him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

He introduces himself as Aaron's childhood best friend, comes to me with a beautiful, cheerful smile and calls me a sissy because he considers me as his sister. He always wanted a sister.

"Oh, hi Phil, did you see Aaron anywhere?" I didn't find him, "I said to him while looking around to find my husband.

"Yeah, actually he has to go for business purposes," Fhil said awkwardly to me, scratching his neck.

"Um, it's okay, I can understand," I said to her.

Well, what can I expect from Aaron? He hates me so much.

"But he tells me to take you to Knight's mansion," Fhil said to me cheerfully.

"Yeah, let's go," I said.

After saying my goodbyes to everyone, I went outside the church and was stunned to see a Rolls-Royce Phantom....car., "Ready to go to your house, sissy?" Fhil nudged me.

After that, we sat in that amazing car.

"Um, Fhil, where are Aaron's parents?" I didn't see them at the wedding, "I asked Fhil wondering.

Fhil smiled sadly at me and said, "They died when Aaron was 11 years old. He loves his parents so much."

This makes me feel sad for Aaron. He lost his parents when he was only 11. My heart aches for that 11-year-old Aaron.

"So sissy, what is your favourite color?" Fhil asked me cheerfully.

"I prefer green and pink," I responded, gently smiling and staring into his eyes.

"What is the same here? I think we are brother and sister from other parents," he said with a wide smile at me.

"Yeah," I also said to him with the widest smile.

Fhil is an amazing guy. He is his childhood best friend Aaron's. That is because their fathers are business partners. Even Fhil tells me very hilarious stories about Aaron's childhood. Fhil has an amazing sense of humor. I am so happy. Finally, I have an amazing brother and friend here.
