Dear Husband, I'm Gone
PROLOGUE
The internet exploded at exactly 10:00 AM.
@CaspianBlackwood: A new chapter of my life begins today. 🤍
Within seconds, comments flooded in
Fan3: CASPIAN GOT MARRIED?!
Fan4: PLEASE TELL ME I'M DREAMING.
Just a minute later another post appeared
@OliverReed: Forever doesn't sound so scary when it's with the right person. 🤍
And another picture was attached with it
it was them in wedding dress
The internet instantly crashed
News channels, fan pages and celebrities all rushed to congratulate them
Everyone believed they were looking at a fairytale
But, nobody knew that, at the exact moment
Inside the luxurious villa
The newlyweds were sitting in complete silence
Oliver looked at the marriage certificate in his hands
A small smile appeared on his face
He loved Caspian for sometime now
Maybe this marriage could become something real
Oliver Reed 《O》
Cass...do you want some tea? I can make some
Caspian didn't even lift his head from the phone
The smile on Oliver's face faltered
A few seconds later Caspian stood
Caspian Blackwood《A》
I have work
Oliver Reed 《O》
... Right now?
Oliver Reed 《O》
But…, we just got married
Caspian's expression was cold
The single work made Oliver's heart sink
Caspian Blackwood《A》
I'll be back late
Without another glance, Caspian walked away
Oliver remained seated on the couch
In his hand was a small box
A wedding gift for his husband
He had spent three months choosing it
Slowly he lowered his eyes
Outside, the world celebrated their love
Inside, the marriage had already begun to crack
And the worst part?... Oliver didn't knew yet
He would stop waiting for the sound of that door opening
CH1: The Ideal Couple
Three, two, one...we're live!
The studio lights turned on instantly
Host/Director/photographer
Welcome everyone to Celebrity Spotlight! Today, we have the entertainment industry's newly married power couple with us!" the host announced excitedly. "Please welcome Caspian Blackwood and Oliver Reed!
Loud cheers erupted from the audience as the two entered hand in hand
The audience almost fainted
"They look so good together!"
"Oh my God, they're holding hands!"
"I can't believe they're actually married!"
Host/Director/photographer
Seems like our audience is very excited today
Oliver Reed 《O》
We can tell
Host/Director/photographer
*grin mischievously*
Host/Director/photographer
First question! The entire internet wants to know...who confessed first?
Oliver instinctively looked at Caspian
Caspian noticed and smiled faintly
Caspian Blackwood《A》
I did
The host widened his eyes dramatically
Host/Director/photographer
Really!?
Host/Director/photographer
The Caspian Blackwood confessed first?
Caspian Blackwood《A》
Oliver was too oblivious
Oliver Reed 《O》
I was not!
Caspian Blackwood《A》
You were
Caspian Blackwood《A》
You thought I wanted to become your manager
The entire studio burst into laughter
Oliver Reed 《O》
I was young!
Caspian Blackwood《A》
You were 22
Host/Director/photographer
This is gold! No wonder everyone calls you two the ideal couple
Beside him, Caspian quietly adjusted the microphone clipped to Oliver's collar after noticing it had become loose
The audience collectively lost their minds
Oliver looked at Caspian and whispered softly
Oliver Reed 《O》
Thanks Cass
Caspian simply hummed in response
The interview continued smoothly
Host/Director/photographer
So, Oliver
Host/Director/photographer
What changed the most after marriage?
Oliver thought for a moment
Oliver Reed 《O》
Nothing much honestly
Oliver Reed 《O》
Cass has always taken good care of me
Caspian's expression softened ever so slightly
The audience noticed
Naturally
By the time the interview ended
Several clips had already gone viral
As soon as the camera turned off, staff members rushed around the studio
Oliver stretched his arms
Oliver Reed 《O》
Finally *sighed*
Caspian checked his phone
His manager had already sent him three messages
Oliver Reed 《O》
Are you free tonight?
Oliver Reed 《O》
I found a new restraunt near our house
Oliver Reed 《O》
Leo recommended it
Oliver Reed 《O》
We could have dinner there
Caspian considered it for a moment
Caspian Blackwood《A》
Alright...
Oliver's eyes lit up instantly
Oliver Reed 《O》
Then I'll make reservations
Watching him, even Caspian found himself smiling slightly
Maybe marriage wasn't such a bad thing
Unfortunately, faterarely cared about such thoughts
Oliver sat in the private room of the restraunt
He was waiting for about half an hour or so now
A glass of water rested untouched in front of him
His phone finally vibrated
Caspian Blackwood《A》
Cass 🖤: Sorry. Emergency meeting. Can't make it.
Oliver stared at the message for a few seconds
Oliver Reed 《O》
Oliver 🌙: It's okay! Work is important. Drive safely when you come home 😊
A few moment later another message arrived
Caspian Blackwood《A》
Cass 🖤: Don't wait up.
Oliver looked at the empty seat across from him
A small, understanding smile
Oliver Reed 《O》
It's just work
They had their whole lives ahead of them
CH2: The Promise
Oliver looked at the messgae for a long time
Then he put his phone down and looked at the mepty seat across from him
The dishes on the table had long gone cold
Oliver Reed 《O》
It's just work
After all Caspian was busy
Without realizing it, his mind drifted back to a conversation from a year ago
Oliver Reed 《O》
Cass are you sure?
They were sitting on the swing in Blackwood family's garden,the same place where they has spent countless afternoons as children
Caspian looked at him, slightly annoyed
Caspian Blackwood《A》
For the hundredth time, yes!
Oliver Reed 《O》
But marriage is...a huge thing...
Oliver Reed 《O》
What if...
Oliver Reed 《O》
What if you regret it?
Caspian sighed and gently flicked Oliver's forehead
Caspian Blackwood《A》
Stop overthinking
Oliver pouted, rubbing his forehead
Caspian shook his head helplessly
Caspian Blackwood《A》
Oliver look at me
Oliver obediently looked up
Caspian Blackwood《A》
If we get married I'll treat you well
Caspian Blackwood《A》
I'll protect you
Caspian Blackwood《A》
You won't have to worry about anything anymore
Caspian Blackwood《A》
You won't have to face your family alone either
Oliver felt his eyes sting
Caspian rarely made promises
He always kept them...and so Oliver believed
He asked softly as Caspian nodded
Caspian Blackwood《A》
Really
A small smile bloomed on Oliver's face
Oliver Reed 《O》
Then...let's get married
Caspian smiled faintly and ruffled his hair
Oliver snapped out of his thoughts
A bitter smile slowly appeared on his lips
Maybe Caspian had simply forgotten it...
Work was just more important
Either way, Oliver would wait
He had always waited for Caspian
And he would continue to do so
