He was running down the streets, well past midnight. Leaves were scattered, the cold fall night stinging his skin. He was a maniac for being outside late fall without even a sweater. But people do stupid things when they're drunk... Or in love.
Prologue
"Why am I here" Will thought. William Darcy was born into a corporate world of finance firms. His parents were CEOs of their own firms, and being their only male child, expected him to continue their legacy as the largest finance firm in all of San Francisco.
He was always there, wearing a three piece suit, in front of the board of directors, or mother and father's "friends" as he had been brought up to call them. His father's instructions were simple: don't say a word, Smile politely, and don't embarrass us. As if he could embarrass them anymore than how he had embarrassed himself. He prayed for the meeting to be over soon. As soon as the board left, he was sent down to the car to be brought straight home. He hated having to learn from his parents. Perfection was a requirement. Until that fateful day, he became free.
It was a year before Will was allowed to have his own company, which he had renamed to Pemberley Digital. He was finally free from the judging glares, the expectations of all the people in his parents' company. His grandfather had passed away, and leaving his fortune to his favorite grandson, along with his technology and media development company. Will had finally access to something he loved... digital media
Time progressed and his firm grew even more. A success at a ripened age, he was able to support his sister's dream as well as his. Well liked in his grandfather's business, compassion for his employees and security with their jobs, his company thrived well as his third year anniversary as the CEO came rolling by without any bumps through that road.
"Congratulations Will! Why don't you come with me and go house hunting?" Bing suddenly requested
"I am quite busy right now, why don't you go with Caroline?" he said
"Oh, Caroline's seen it, now she wants me to see it" his friend replied as he lounged on his black leather couch, playing with a steel ring paper weight. "and it wouldn't be as bad if I was with you"
Will gave a knowing grin, Bing may be dense, but he wasn't thick enough to endure staying with his sister in a town he's never been to, with only Caroline as his companion.
"Might as well, I wouldn't want to hear of your attempted suicide due to having an overdose of Caroline" he shook his head as he signed the last of the papers for the day.
"YES! Thanks so much, we leave as soon as your schedule can allow!" his friend practically yelled as he ran out the door. Darcy sighed.
But that was months ago. Now, everything has changed.
