Marry Me For Money Lose It All
TerranI should have been having a blast instead of feeling as if I were facing the most important decision of my life. It was one of those rock and hard place decisions. Damned if I did and damned if I didn’t.“I need a drink,” I mumbled.“I’ll get you one, sweetie.” A pretty blonde woman sitting on a leather couch across from me quickly jumped up to do just that.Zach looked at me and smiled. “That was easy.”It hadn’t exactly been what I meant. I needed a drink, but I didn’t expect her to fetch it for me. She was a guest. She returned a minute later with a margarita, the rim of the glass lined with salt. It wasn’t exactly the drink I had in mind, but it would do.“Thank you,” I said, unable to remember her name.She smiled. “Any time, Terran. If you need anything, you only have to ask.”I smiled and nodded my head, ignoring the flirting. I wasn’t in the mood to flirt, which was out of character for me.“Can you ladies give us a minute?” Zach asked.The four women who had followed u

TerranHe sighed. “Your yacht, your condo, the beach house, the cars? Aren’t all those things worth a ball and chain?”I glared at him from behind my dark, thousand-dollar sunglasses. “I don’t know. That’s the problem.”He laughed. “It’s a wife. It isn’t a death sentence.”“You don’t want to be married any more than I do.”Zach chuckled. “No, but my dad didn’t put a clause in his will demanding I be married by thirty-five or I would lose my inheritance. He probably knew I’d never be able to do that. It isn’t in the Bailey DNA. Baileys were meant to be bachelors, enjoying all the women the world has to offer.”I groaned. “My dad was one of the guys who believed you mate for life. He never remarried after my mom died. He was never interested in another woman. When I was ten, I used to appreciate that. I didn’t want a stepmom. I never knew he would insist I be like him. I’m not built to have only one woman.”“Me either. Are you sure you can’t persuade the attorney handling the will to ig
Marry Me For Money Photo Shoot
HaileyThe constant flash from the camera was giving me a headache. I couldn’t wait until I got the break I needed to become an actress. A successful actress. There were millions of actresses, but only a select few ever achieved the status I wanted. For now, I was modeling. The career had paid the bills since I was a teenager, but it was time to do something different. “Great job, Hailey,” the photographer, Carl, said. “Let’s do a series with you beside the bike since Brittany can’t figure out how to look sexy.” I climbed off the bike, giving the young new model, Brittany, a comforting smile. “You’re doing fine. Don’t listen to him.”She nodded her head. I could see the disappointment in her eyes. I was like her when I first started. Too many photographers were obnoxious and rude. They didn’t treat models like human beings. They treated us like objects to be posed and manipulated to their will.“She’s not doing fine,” the surly man snapped. “I’m going to have to retake all those sho
Marry Me For Money The Orphanage
Hailey“Hey, you,” she said when I walked into the rec room where she was surrounded by a small group of kids at a large circular table.“Hailey!” several of them shouted, running to wrap their arms around me.“Hi, guys!” I greeted each and every one of them with a hug.“What brings you by?” Mandy asked.I shrugged a shoulder, looked at the kids and then her. She gave me a subtle nod, understanding it wasn’t a child-appropriate conversation.“I wanted to come by and see some of my most favorite people in the world,” I said with a smile.Mandy grinned. “Thank you. You know how much they appreciate your visits. Guys, I think Hailey wants to make one of our beaded necklaces.”The group erupted into cheers, which always made me feel good. I loved being able to brighten their days a bit.The kids in this group ranged in age from five to ten. Some were recently orphaned, while a few had been orphaned shortly after birth. They had never known what it was like to have a loving mother and fath
Marry Me For Money A Call From the Lawyer
TerranIt was the typical Monday morning with my secretary going over my calendar for the week. As usual, it was packed full of meetings with potential clients and the ad execs in charge of the various clients. I always had a lot of balls in the air, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I liked being busy. Busy meant job security for myself and the hundred people I employed.“You have the meeting with the model for the sportswear company later today,” Lena said. “Do you need her file?” I shook my head. “No.”The phone rang, and she answered it from my own desk, which felt a little strange, but she would have slapped my hand away if I tried to answer my own phone.“Just a moment please,” she said, pushing a button and returning the phone to its cradle.“Who is it?” I asked, watching her gather her things.“Your father’s attorney. He says it’s important.”I groaned. That couldn’t be good. “Thank you, Lena.”She stopped at the door and smiled. “Let me know if you need anything,” she sa
Marry Me For Money Another Stipulation
TerranBob cleared his throat. “It isn’t just the inheritance you stand to lose. He owned a majority share in your company. If you don’t meet his requirements, he has demanded the company be dissolved, with stockholders getting their investments back.”My mouth fell open. “It’s my company!”Bob shook his head. “Your father was a silent partner. He put up the capital and still owned a majority of the company. I mistakenly believed his shares reverted to you on his death. They have not. You will lose the company and your inheritance if you do not marry within the next six months or be close to marrying by then.”“Bullshit,” I argued. “I built that company. His investment wasn’t even a fraction of what the company is worth now.” “Which will make some shareholders very happy when they get a fat check. Their investment will have proven to be a worthy one.”I shook my head. “He can’t do this. It’s my company.”Bob slid a piece of paper across his desk. “I’m sorry. Legally he can, and he ha
Marry Me For Money Meeting with the Boss
HaileyThe butterflies dancing in my stomach were making me jittery.I was used to walking runways, but walking into the building of the ad company that had helped launch my modeling career to the next level was nerve-wracking. I knew I was on the older end of the modeling spectrum. My days as a model were numbered. Few models got to keep working into their thirties. It wasn’t exactly fair, but it was the business. Maybe they were going to tell me my contract was being tossed out the window because I was too old. I wasn’t what they were looking for, or I was too difficult to work with. My own insecurities had offered up a litany of reasons for the rather sudden meeting.I was meeting with the CEO, which was only making me more nervous. Terran Maddox had a very colorful reputation. I knew of him vaguely but had never been all that interested in getting to know more about him. I was convinced he was like the rest of the men who were wealthy and held positions of power. That was not the
Marry Me For Money What Now?
HaileyI let my guard down. He was a professional and technically one of my bosses, I assumed. “I’m good. How are you?” I extended my hand.He grinned, taking my hand in his before bringing the back of it to his lips for a too-long kiss. “Better now, thanks to you. I’m Marty, by the way. It’s very nice to meet you.” His friendly smile turned into one of pure lechery, making my skin crawl.“Good to meet you, Marty,” I said, ignoring his attempt to flatter me while pulling my hand back.“What brings a gorgeous woman like you here today? It isn’t often we are blessed with a woman of your beauty.”I politely laughed at his attempt to flirt while taking a step back. “I was just here for a meeting with Mr. Maddox.”“Oh, how’d that go?” he asked, the smile still in place, but his eyes began to wander.“It didn’t. He isn’t in.” I did my best to remain friendly, but his roving eyes were starting to piss me off.“Oh, that’s too bad. I have some free time. I can get us a couple of coffees, and w
