OBSESSION OF THE FALLEN

YISO'S POV

The loud beep of the alarm wakes me up from my sleep. I sigh as I slowly get up to turn it off so it doesn't disturb Marshall from sleeping since he worked until really late last night.

I smile as I get up from the bed, and quietly arrange the duvet. I look at Marshall once again and walk quietly to his side of the bed to give him a small kiss on the forehead, causing him to stir and smile. As soon as he opens his eyes I whisper to him " Happy anniversary my love".

"Happy anniversary to you too, my love". He says stretching.

"Are you off to work? Can't you stay a bit longer?". He says giving me a small kiss on the forehead and another, on my lips which causes me to blush a little.

" I'm so sorry my love but duty calls you know.......I'm still talking when my phone beeps and I quickly walk to my bedside table to pick it up.

I realize that it's a message from my secretary and I quickly open it up.

' Good morning ma'am, just to remind you of your meeting by 9am'.

I sent a reply and headed to the bathroom to take a shower and in no time, I was ready to go.

I was still trying to tame my short curly hair, when I catch Marshall through the mirror staring at me .

"I look stunning right?, I ask him.

"Come home early today I have a surprise for you" was his reply.

" Oh really now... you know how much I love surprises, I can't wait". I say wrapping my hair in a low bun and after a few kisses, I finally tell him goodbye and head for work.

I drive to work with a big smile on my face thinking about how I met Marshall from the beginning.

Sometimes I can't believe I met the love of my life on a dating app. I'm so happy Karen encouraged me to take the chance and just give it a try.

Father had been nagging that I get married as I wasn't getting any younger and he wanted to see me run the company with my husband.

I remember being in a bind because I didn't have much experience with dating and was so focused on work, that I didn't have even have time.

"I know you're skeptical Yi, but this app is approved by the New York Times and thousands of people have testified that it has helped them find their prince charming", Karen had said, placing her hands on my shoulders.

"You're beautiful Yiso, and you deserve love", she added.

I decided to believe and trust her, so I joined to see what it was all about although I did not expect much. That is how I met Marshall Emerald, it was love at first sight for me.

His profile caught my attention. I immediately swiped right and we began talking on the phone.

It was now the one year anniversary of being married to Marshall, and I needed it to be perfect.

I planned the perfect dinner but as usual I've been stressing over it, I wanted to take the day off , but there's just too much work to be done this month.

We recently made a deal with one of the biggest food distributors in the industry and there's a lot of paperwork.
