Marry Me For Money Telling Mandy
HaileyI quickly showered and dressed in a pair of capris and a comfortable pair of walking shoes before heading out for my day with the kids. I had been looking forward to this day for weeks. I had made sure my schedule was clear so I could go along. I knew Mandy needed all the help she could get, and this was one small way I could make a difference.I felt different as I walked into the orphanage, as if I had gone through some ritual that made me a real woman. Everything looked brighter, and I could feel a little extra bounce in my step. I went through the usual greetings before heading down the hall to Mandy’s tiny office. I knocked once and waited.“Come in,” she called out.I walked inside and was relieved to see she was alone. I closed the door behind me and took a seat on the small couch against the wall while she tapped away on the keyboard of her laptop.“You’re early. The field trip isn’t for another hour.”I smiled. “I know. I wanted to talk, catch up with you.”She nodded
Marry Me For Money The Money Thing
Hailey“I dodged the question. I didn’t know what to say. It was out of the blue. I mean, I was standing there making eggs. Why would that even cross his mind in that moment?”“What were you doing before that?”I shrugged. “I was sleeping. He was in my living room when I got up, looking at some of the paintings.”She nodded her head. “Are you sure he’s wealthy? Maybe he thinks you have more money than he does and feels emasculated by it.”I scoffed. “Why would that matter?”“Because maybe money is important to him. Maybe you should ask him if he would be with you if you were broke.”I didn’t like the way that made me feel at all. “I don’t like that,” I pouted.“Maybe you need to get to know Mr. Perfect a little better,” she said softly.“I like him for him, not because he has money. I don’t think I’ve ever given the idea I’m pretentious or anything like that—have I?”She furrowed her eyebrows. “I doubt it. You’ve always been very low-key. You’ve never flaunted your wealth, but you’ve
Marry Me For Money I Thought She Was Different
TerranI had struggled to get Hailey and her lack of an answer out of my mind all day. I kept replaying how she had reacted. She expertly dodged the question without blinking an eye. That was my first clue something was up. The second clue was the way she had managed to keep me out of her house for so long. I wondered if those expensive trinkets I had seen were things she had bought for herself or gifts from other men, hoping to be the lucky one to get her into bed.It was all confusing and hard to comprehend. I didn’t want to think the worst of her. I wanted to take another shot at having that conversation, and maybe, depending on her response, I would bring up the issue of my dad’s will.“Mr. Maddox?” Lena’s voice floated through the office.I pushed the button on the intercom. “Yes?”“Your four o’clock just canceled. I have nothing else on your calendar for the day.”That didn’t happen often. I smiled and pushed the button down again. “Lena?”“Yes, Mr. Maddox?”“Are you saying we’r
Marry Me For Money No Way Out
TerranI grimaced. “Actually, she didn’t answer me at all. She completely ignored the question and tried to distract me with her sweet little body instead.”“Then I think you know your answer. She’s in this for your money. She isn’t going to hook up with some poor schmuck. She only gave you the time of day because you have the means to take her out to the best restaurants and give her that good life. You said she’s a model, right?”I nodded. “Yes.”“Well, models have short shelf lives. She’s probably looking for financial security. You’re her sugar daddy. How old is she?”“Twenty-eight.”He shrugged. “She’s a little young for you.”I rolled my eyes. “She’s not that young.”“I don’t know, man. I think she snowed you. She made you want her. She showed you one side of her to get your guard down. Now you know the real her. They’re all the same.”I shook my head. “She’s not the same,” I defended.“Obviously, she is. I don’t know. Do what you want, but you damn well better secure that inher
Marry Me For Money What if She Says Yes?
TerranThe blue sky bleeding into the blue water had captured my attention. I couldn’t look away. I wanted to chase the horizon, go where the sky and the water became one. I stood on the sandy beach watching the waves roll in and out, my surfboard tucked under my arm. It was so peaceful. The sun was setting lower in the sky, changing the blue hues to deep oranges and yellows. I could pretend my life was perfect. Forget about everything and just be.“Gonna stand there all day?” Zach asked to my left.“Can I?”“I don’t get the appeal. You’ve seen this exact same scene a million times.”I didn’t look away. “And I want to see it a million more times. Don’t you ever like to imagine what it would be like to set sail and never look back?”He scoffed. “I’ve done it. It gets boring after a while.”“I wouldn’t get bored.”He chuckled. “I think your girlfriend would have something to say about that.”I shrugged a shoulder. “She is very easygoing. I could see her enjoying an escape from the world
Marry Me For Money A Break
Terran“Then do it!” he exclaimed. “Let’s be done with this back and forth!”I let myself imagine a life with Hailey as my wife. I knew the sex would be great. Would she want children? Did I want children? Could I be with a woman that was interested in me because I was wealthy? I didn’t think I could be. I had rejected women who had gone after me solely for the money. I hated that materialistic bullshit.“I know she’d say yes.”“Good, then what’s the holdup?”I shook my head, not wanting to talk about Hailey anymore. It was something I was going to have to figure out on my own.“I want to get out of this wetsuit,” I said, quickly changing the subject.Zach laughed. “Fine, but you’re not off the hook. I want a beer and a burger.”“I’ve got a change of clothes in the car. Let me change before I start to chafe.”He chuckled again. “Don’t want that to happen.”We went back to our cars, each of us grabbing a change of clothes, and we used the bathrooms to change into shorts. I had cut out
Marry Me For Money People Change
HaileyI walked down the hall to Mandy’s office, excited to see her for the first time in what felt like forever. I felt like a horrible friend. I had been spending so much time with Terran, I had all but dumped her. I knew that was common, but I hated that I had done it.I knocked once on her door before pushing it open.“Hi, I’m sorry, have we met?” she asked with a grin.“Ha, ha. I know. I’m a terrible human being. Please forgive me.”She got up and walked around her desk to give me a hug. “I’ve missed you.”“I’ve missed you too. How’s everything going?”Mandy’s smile got bigger. “Good, great actually, but first tell me how it’s been with you and Terran. I’m assuming very good since you’ve disappeared the last few weeks.”I laughed. “It has been a lot of fun, and I really like being around him. We talk, laugh, eat, and… do other stuff.” Mandy laughed. “I had a feeling it would be like that for you once you got that first time out of the way. You’ve gone full nympho on me, haven’t
Marry Me For Money Getting Old
Hailey“Wow,” she said, scrunching up her nose. “Are we getting old? Is that what this is?”I laughed. “I don’t know if we’re getting old, but I think my life goals are changing a bit. I think I want a family, husband, picket fence, the whole nine yards. I’ve seen the world and done a lot of living. Now, I want something more stable.”Her mouth dropped open. “Holy shit, you are serious.”I slowly nodded my head, each nod making me even more sure of myself. “I am.”“Is he? I mean, is this something you guys have talked about?”I shook my head. “Not really. I guess you could say it’s just the feeling I get from him. He seems like he is looking for something real.”“And you’re hoping it’s you.”Did I? I wasn’t really sure. Things had been going so well. It was so easy and comfortable to be around him. I didn’t feel like I had to pretend to be anything but who I was. I had told him about my life, my fears, and my biggest secret of all. I’d given myself to him. I knew what that meant to me
