After losing a round of truth or dare, Ezra Everton pointed at me from across the room like it was nothing. "Her. The brokest girl at the whole art institute. For fun." The room exploded with laughter. Everyone waited for me to get dumped on the spot and humiliated. I was already about to tell him to go screw himself when bright red floating comments suddenly blew up in front of me— [Don't say no! Say yes! That's a walking jackpot!] [Make his heart race for one second and you'll unlock a $100,000 payout!] [I'm screaming. Ezra's family is crazy rich. One tiny leak from his wallet could build a whole new wing for Evervale Home!] [For real. He acts arrogant, but he's secretly such a softie. Win him over, and you're basically set for life!] Evervale Home. The orphanage. A hundred grand? My eyes widened. I looked at Ezra's ridiculously handsome—seriously punchable—face and swallowed the "go to hell" sitting on my tongue. Then I met his amused stare and smiled sweetly, hiding the edge in my eyes. I stepped up and hooked my arm through his. "Sure, babe."

While he hammered, Ezra spoke casually. "When my fiancée wants to save money, that's cute. But certain people..."He paused and shot Jada a razor-sharp look. "If you've got that much free time, sew your mouth shut instead of polluting the air."Jada flinched hard. Her whole body shook. Tears filled her eyes before she covered her face and ran off crying.Even without the floating comments anymore, I could already picture them:'AHHHH, protective fiancé mode activated!''Ezra's basically like: Don't ask. I just spoil her.''Jada got absolutely cooked. That was brutal.'Ezra worked fast. Before long, the rest of the frames were up.And he was weirdly good at it. Every painting lined up perfectly, flawless in spacing and height."There." He tossed the hammer aside, took a damp towel from Leo, and wiped his hands clean before looking at me. "Satisfied now?"I looked at the wall of paintings, then at him—this guy who didn't care about his image as long as he could help me.Every

Bonus ChapterEven though I was technically a millionaire now, broke-girl habits didn't disappear overnight. My frugal DNA was basically permanent.Like right now.At the Bellmont Senior Art Show setup, everyone else stood around directing hired workers to move frames and fix lighting.Meanwhile, I was on the floor in a paint-stained apron, hammering nails myself.A snicker came from behind me."Well, if it isn't Mia Madden."Jada Lenon. The oil painting department's queen bee.Ever since Grace transferred out, Jada had basically become Bellmont Art Institute's resident mean girl.Jada crossed her arms and looked me up and down. "What, did Ezra get bored of you? He can't even hire people for your setup? You seriously have to do it yourself? That's sad."A few girls nearby covered their mouths, giggling.I hammered in the last nail, dusted off my hands, and stood."What would you know? It's called craftsmanship. Getting hands-on gives the art a soul."The truth?A few days

I looked closer at the photo.The old building that used to leak every time it rained was already fenced off. Excavators were working nonstop around it.A huge banner hung nearby:"Congratulations to Everton Corp for donating a new academic building to Evervale Home—Groundbreaking Ceremony."I blinked. "That was fast."Ezra lifted a brow, full of rich-boy energy. "My family doesn't just do efficiency. We do speed. And not just the building." He tapped the screen lightly. "I also set up a scholarship fund. From now on, any kid from Evervale Home who gets into college gets full tuition covered."My eyes instantly burned red.And this time, it had nothing to do with the money.I was genuinely moved.I looked at the arrogant guy in front of me and suddenly felt like he shone brighter than that ten million dollars.[I'm crying. He's literally the perfect man.][Rich, hot, and thoughtful? Mia, what kind of past-life karma is this?][I ship them so hard. Somebody drag these two to

With that $10 million sitting in my account, my confidence shot through the roof.The second I pushed open the lounge doors, it didn't feel like I was walking onto a red carpet.It felt like I was stepping onto a path lined with cash.Ezra kept our fingers locked together like he wanted the whole room to know I was his.Champagne glasses still clinked around the ballroom, but the second we stepped in, the room went dead quiet for a few seconds.Grace stood nearby with a champagne flute, talking fast to her friends. Probably telling them how I got kicked out.Then she saw us.Her smile froze."Well, look who finally decided to show up." Grace walked over, eyes dropping to the wine stain on my dress. "Mia, your dress is stained like that? Didn't Lisa make you pay for it? If you can't afford it, we're classmates. I can lend—"She cut herself off.Her eyes locked on the hand Ezra was holding.The silver ring caught the chandelier light. Simple. Quiet. Impossible to miss.[Oh, h
