Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

It was a year ago.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to go back to when it first started?” Cordelia said softly, “This time last year, it’s when we got married.”

That was their first meeting. Cordelia had come to that small cabin in the pouring rain, her white wedding dress stained with soil. The old folks in the village had said that people who got married in such weather would not end up happy, but both of them were the happiest.

Zephyr was moved. He inched slowly toward the bed and saw Cordelia’s fair hand that was outside of the blanket.

He held it while Cordelia pulled it back but gave up the struggle when she could not fight the man’s strength, allowing him to hold it.

“Darling,” he said with an affectionate smile. “I don’t want to work. Take care of me when we’re back to Centrolis too, okay?”

Cordelia was silent, but her eyes felt hot. She felt like crying, but the smile on her face bloomed like a ripple. A voice in her had been shouting, ‘Okay! I’ll take care of you. I’ll take care of you even if you don’t go to work.
