My Shares Went to the Assistant's Dog
My fiancee, Emma Jillard's assistant, Charlie Ziegler, loves placing bets. After Emma loses a bet to him, she cancels our wedding for the 19th time because of him.
I warn her that if this happens again, I'll marry another woman immediately.
But Emma just smiles at me nonchalantly.
"You've already donated your kidney to me, Shawn. What makes you think you can marry someone else? Besides, who else but me will marry a handicap like you?"
On the 20th wedding, Charlie sends Emma a photo of the airport, where half a flight ticket can be seen. This is another bet that he has made with her.
"If you can't find me in half an hour, you will never be able to see me again."
Having noticed the destination that's printed on the ticket, Emma rips her wedding veil off her head before rushing toward the airport in a fit of panic.
Half an hour later, Charlie updates his social media feed.
"Only the one who truly cares for you is willing to overcome challenges for you."
Upon noticing the post, I don't bother responding to it. Instead, I quietly dial a phone number that I'm very familiar with.
"Eleanor, are you still going to keep your word of marrying me back then?"
Her voice echoes back excitedly. "Seriously? Of course! As long as you're my marriage partner, I will forever stick to that promise!"
