My Boss by Day, My Husband by Night
329 Views · Ongoing · Soft.Linked
“You can't fall in love with your boss.”
My best friend warned me before my first day at the firm.
I laughed.
“Don't worry. I'm already married.”
What I didn't tell her was that my husband was the man walking into the conference room that morning.
Elias Jefferson was the firm's newest partner—a brilliant, wealthy, intimidating attorney who could silence an entire room with a single glance.
And somehow, he was also the stranger I had married only days before.
Nobody at the firm knew.
Nobody could know.
I needed this job. I had spent years struggling to prove that I belonged in the legal world, and I refused to let anyone think I had gotten ahead because I was sleeping with the boss.
So at work, Elias and I became strangers.
He challenged my arguments in meetings. I fought back.
He praised my legal instincts in front of the entire team. I pretended his approval meant nothing.
And whenever our eyes met across the courtroom, I had to remind myself that he wasn't my husband here.
He was my boss.
But when the office lights went out and we went home together, keeping our distance became much harder.
Then one night, Elias told me, “Our marriage was supposed to be temporary. So why can't I imagine letting you go?”
