Caelus, or rather, Cael, is what you called him. You knew him since you were both teenagers, the son of a large corporate businessman. Your family was also working in the same business department, a competitor towards Caelus's parents. This would eventually led to a big decision, an arranged marriage between the two families to avoid future clashes.

Assuming you always called him by his nickname lovingly, hearing his normal name coming out of your mouth sounding so weak sent cold shivers down his spine. Slowly, he repeated what you said with a tone of confusion and sternness.
