*Grant*

I get home before Anna–again. That’s not unusual. In fact, every night since she started volunteering at this new charity place, I’ve gotten home before her.

I tried asking her what she was doing exactly over dinner the other night, but she was very vague. She said it was a soup kitchen of some sort. I asked her if we should consider making a donation, and she said that they’d told her that her hard work was donation enough.

Still, I’d like to have the time to talk to her about her day, like we did when we were at dinner alone the other night. That’s the problem with family dinner. There’s never an opportunity to speak to one’s spouse in private.

I suppose we could always do that in our room, but the situation has been awkward in such a small space.

Standing in front of the mirror, I take off my tie and cufflinks. I will not be wearing my suit jacket to family dinner tonight. With the grand charity event looming, that’s all anyone can talk about at dinner, and even the idea o

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   Owning the Room

    *Anna*A lump the size of a basketball has formed in my throat as we pull up to the event center. Photographers and other news media line both sides of the walkway. I feel like I’m going to pass out from all of this attention, and I have to do this twice.Grant waits for everyone else to get out of the car. The photographers start yelling at Grandmother Trudy immediately, asking her about her dress and who will be the next CEO of Young Corporation. She doesn’t answer those types of questions. Instead, she mostly smiles and waves and then heads inside. We wait for Hattie to make her way down the aisle–she does stop and chat with anyone and everyone who wants to speak to her–before we get out.I latch onto Grant’s arm like he’s the last available lifeboat, and I’m on the Titanic. “You’re fine,” he whispers to me. “I’ve got you.”“Look, it’s Grant Young!” one of the people in the crowd yells. “Grant, is it true that you sealed the deal with Savage Enterprises?”My husband smiles proudly

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   Ready, Set, Go

    *Anna*Sitting at my vanity in the bedroom I am starting to feel like I actually share with my husband–rather than just being allowed to keep my things here–I try taking deep breaths to calm myself, but it’s not working so far.I’m wearing the silver gown over the sparkly black pants that hit about mid-calf. I don’t think it’s noticeable, but that’s just one of the many problems that keep flooding my mind as I finish doing my makeup.Will people notice that A. Savage is wearing the exact same shade of eyeshadow as I am? I can change my lipstick, but it’s not so easy to switch eyeshadow shades. What if Grant stares into my eyes so long he realizes we are wearing exactly the same shades? I’ll be wearing glasses, but not dark ones. Not anything that will cover up the shade.I’m going to be found out, and everything is going to be ruined.“Are you okay, Anna?” Grant asks behind me, not for the first time.I manage a smile. “Yes, yes. I was just thinking about… how hard it will be to eat d

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   The Perfect Plan

    *Anna*“You’re going to look lovely in that pants suit,” Poppy is telling me once we are settled in the car and leaving the department store. “And that beautiful silver dress you bought will cover it completely.”I nod but don’t turn my face away from the window. I’m going over all of the items I need to pack, and I’m trying to figure out how in the world I’m going to pull this off. I have to make two entrances. How will I come in as Anna, then exit, and come back in as A. Savage without anyone noticing that I left?It seems impossible.“I need a blueprint of the location where the event is being held,” I say to Poppy without turning to look at her. “So I can work out the exits.”She’s quiet for a moment before she says, “Yeah, okay. Sure. That shouldn’t be a problem since we built that event center.”Now, my head swivels around. “We did?”“Sure did.”I let go a loud exhale. “Oh. Good. Can you ask Cliff to find them and have them waiting on my desk when we get back? And he will be the

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   One in the Back

    *Anna*I have to buy two outfits for the same charity event.A couple of days before the big shindig, Poppy and I go to another one of the upscale department stores I own to look for a dress for Anna and a stunning pants suit for A. Savage because I have decided that A. Savage doesn’t wear dresses. It might make things easier if I can find a dress long enough to hide the pants underneath it so I’m not constantly having to put those on and take them off like I will be everything else.I’ve gotta make sure my dress is something I can get on and off myself.This is absolutely going to suck.“It’s going to be fine,” Poppy tells me as we pull up in front of the boutique. I am wearing my A. Savage get-up, and when I lift a hand to fiddle with my nose, Poppy swats it away. “It’s not going to be fine,” I tell her. “It’s going to be a train wreck of epic proportion.”“That’s what you said about your luncheon with Grant, and that went fine,” she argues.Shaking my head, I tell her, “That was d

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   That's My Wife!

    *Grant*Anna doesn’t want to go to the charity event with me.Sitting at my desk, I sigh and run a hand through my hair. I don’t know if she doesn’t want to go because she’s nervous. She used to like to go to events like this one, but now that her confidence has been shaken, thanks to my family, she doesn’t seem to like them much. Or maybe it’s the fear that my family will say or do something to embarrass her.I can’t really blame her for being worried about it. It’s not as if they’ve never been rude to her before.Since I am her husband, it is up to me to make sure that she is comfortable at the event. I finish up a few tasks and then head to Grandmother Trudy’s office.Her door is slightly open, but I knock on it anyway. “Grant?” she says, as I poke my head in. Her face lights up. “Come in, come in!”“Thank you, Grandmother. I hope I’m not interrupting anything.”“No, no,” she says, setting a file aside. “Nothing is more important than my favorite grandson. Is everything all right?”
