Marry Me For Money Hear Him Out
HaileyI scoffed. “Oh, he wants me all right. He wants my body. He wants me to be engaged long enough to get his hands on some stupid inheritance. After that, he might not be quite so excited to want only me. I knew his reputation before all this, and I wanted to believe it was all a load of garbage. But now, I have to ask myself if I only told myself that because I didn’t want it to be true. I put my ideas about what I wanted in a man on him. He was only being the guy I was asking for. That is a true con man. He’s a chameleon, and I fell for it.” “I really don’t think so. Why don’t you talk to him? You said he’d called you several times.”“And then what?”“Hear him out. Listen to the words he says. Rely on your gut instincts and see if he is being genuine or he’s just running a game on you. You’re not some naïve little girl who hasn’t been around long enough to know when somebody is blowing smoke. Trust your instincts. I’ve always known you to be a solid judge of character. You are
Marry Me For Money Loved And Lost
TerranUnlike yesterday when I woke up, I wasn’t feeling nearly as confident or excited about what I had to do today. But today, I was going to do it. I was going to talk to Hailey. Nothing was going to get in the way. Well, unless she absolutely refused to talk to me. I wasn’t looking to go to jail for stalking or something crazy like that.I was a nervous wreck. I had tossed and turned all night thinking about what I would say and playing out the various scenarios. So much was riding on me convincing her to love me—to let me love her. I had to have the exact words. They had to be right. This one conversation would change the course of my life. It was hard to fathom just how important it was until I started listing the many things that would change if she chose to tell me to get lost without giving me a chance. I would lose everything. Her, my inheritance, and my company were all dependent on how the conversation went. That was a lot of pressure to put on a guy. I was feeling it now.
Marry Me For Money Not My MO Anymore
TerranShe smiled. “Time will tell I suppose.”I could feel her slipping away. “My dad hated that I never settled down before he died. He kept waiting for me to get married and start a family. I never did.”She nodded her head. “Okay, I’m not sure what that has to do with the will and me.”I took a drink of water. My throat suddenly felt very dry. I had never opened myself up to anyone. I felt like I was cutting my chest open and leaving it in her hands to save me or kill me.“My dad stipulated in his will that I would not be eligible to inherit his estate if I wasn’t married, or engaged, by the age of thirty-five.”She scoffed. “And your birthday is around the corner. Why me, Terran? Why did you have to pick me to be the one you used to get your inheritance?” I shook my head. “I didn’t. When I saw you that day in my office, I was immediately attracted to you, so I asked you out. Then we went out, and you were nothing like I thought you would be. I felt something from the very moment
Marry Me For Money Talk It Out
HaileyI tried my best to stay rational and impartial. I wanted to fall into his arms and believe everything he was saying. I wanted to. I wanted to pretend I never heard what Lance said. I wished like hell we never had the conversation outside the restaurant, but we did. As much as I wanted to believe him, I had to know for sure. I had to know he wasn’t just running another game on me to get that money. I closed my eyes, replaying the scene and him accusing me of going after him simply because of the money.When I opened my eyes, he was staring at me with those expressive green eyes that I could stare into for days. He was so handsome. It should be illegal, I decided. A man should not be able to be that good-looking. It wasn’t fair. How could any straight woman resist him?“Terran.” I said his name like I wished everything he said was true.“Tell me. I can handle it. Please, put me out of my misery and just tell me what’s on your mind.”He was waiting to hear what I had to say. The t
Marry Me For Money A Proposition
Hailey“Let’s start over. We can go to dinner tomorrow. Does that work?”He vigorously nodded his head. “Yes, absolutely.”I couldn’t help but smile. He was so cute. He reminded me of a little boy but in a manly way. I hated how much I loved him. I should have been more guarded. I casually wiped my mouth, making sure I wasn’t drooling. I felt like I was as I looked at him and thought about him naked and what he could do to my body. I quickly refocused my attention on the matter at hand.“Okay, can we table all that heavy stuff and just talk?” I asked.He blew out his cheeks. “Please. I’ve missed you. I’ve missed talking to you about my day and stuff.”“What have you been doing the last week?” I asked.He smiled. “Well, I did a lot of sulking and moping around at home. Then Zach took me to the beach. I don’t think I got out of the water for a good three hours. He wasn’t happy. Zach is more of an opportunity surfer. He goes out for a bit then combs the beach looking for women while pret
Marry Me For Money Sharing the Good News
TerranI was as nervous as a kid picking up his first date and having to meet an angry father. The stress of it all had me changing my clothes three times. A damn suit felt too stiff, but I didn’t want to look too casual.The date was about showing her I was serious about getting her back. I had to prove to her I meant every word I’d said at lunch yesterday. I had meant them all. I did love her, and the more I said and acknowledged it, the easier it got. It was like knowing the sky was blue.I loved Hailey, and that was that.Now, the tricky part was getting her to believe me. I wasn’t sure how I could convince her. I had told her repeatedly, but she was looking for some proof. Maybe I could take a lie detector test. I didn’t know. I was desperate enough to do just about anything.When I parked my car in front of her place, I was giddy with excitement over seeing her. I hoped she would let me touch her. I wanted to run my fingers through that silky blond hair and inhale her scent whil
Marry Me For Money Famous
TerranMy mouth fell open. I didn’t want to look shocked. That would be insulting. It would seem like I wasn’t confident in her ability. I was absolutely confident, but for her to have already gotten a part in a movie seemed like a really big deal.“Wow. What movie is this?”“The one I auditioned for.”That time, I didn’t try to hide my shock in the least. “The one where the big names were vying for the role?”She clapped her hands and nodded her head, making a weird squealing noise. “That’s the one!”“Hailey! I’m so happy for you. Great job! Seriously, that is amazing. We have to celebrate.”She breathed a big sigh. “I’ve been dying to tell you.”“I’m glad you did. When do you start?”She shrugged and took a sip of her wine. “Gabriel was putting a fast track on the contracts. I guess the role I landed was a last-minute change-up. They had already been shooting when they realized the first actress they had wasn’t working. I guess she wasn’t what the director envisioned.”I wrinkled my
Marry Me For Money Not Always This Way
HaileyIt felt so good to have him next to me, his big strong hand holding mine as we walked to the edge of the lot. I loved being on the beach with him. I realized then that the smell of the beach reminded me of him. He wore expensive cologne, but underneath it, I could smell the sun and sea on him. It always made me think of vibrancy. He was a vibrant man, and I was naturally drawn to him.“Hold on a second,” I said, stopping to pull my shoes off.“I can carry those,” he said.I shook my head. “No. You need to carry your own. Come on, take your shoes off and let your toes sink into the cool sand.”He laughed. “That sounds good.”He quickly removed his shoes, stuffing his socks inside, and rolled up his pant legs a bit. Then we set off in search of a quiet place to spread the blanket.“I think here looks good,” I said, pointing to an area flanked by tall beach grass and away from the lights of the parking lot and the hotels that dotted the beach.He spread out the blanket before sitt

HaileyI laughed nervously. “A whirlwind, really. I was doing the modeling thing one day, and the next, I got the call I had landed this part. I am so grateful to my husband for putting me in touch with Gabriel, my agent. It was like everything fell into place at the exact right time.”“What is this foundation I’ve heard you are working with?” she asked from the preselected questions Gabriel had given her.I smiled. “It’s a foundation to help those kids who tend to fall through the cracks in the foster care system. So many kids are on the streets today because there is a shortage of quality foster homes that are capable of dealing with some of the issues kids are facing.”She smiled and nodded her head. “You were never in the system?”I shook my head. “No. My mother raised me by herself, working two jobs to keep a roof over our heads. It wasn’t easy. I hated how much she struggled, but she taught me that life isn’t about how much you have or what your zip code is. She taught me love i
Marry Me For Money Epilogue Part 1
HaileyOne Year LaterI was more than a little nervous as I sat in the chair assigned to us in the second row. Terran put his hand on my knee and squeezed. I looked at him and smiled. When Gabriel had called to tell me I had been nominated for best actress in a feature film, I had nearly passed out. Our film had barely met the deadline to be nominated for anything.“You look absolutely stunning,” Terran said, staring at me with eyes full of love.“Thank you,” I said, smoothing down the long fitted black gown I was wearing. Terran had bought me a new diamond necklace to go with the dress. My hair was piled on my head in a fancy updo, leaving my neck exposed and the necklace fully visible. I loved telling everyone on the red carpet that asked that my husband had given it to me as a gift for my nomination. I had made more than one of the female reporters green with envy.“You’ve got this,” Terran whispered in my ear.“I’m freaking out,” I gushed, my finger twirling the wedding ring on my
Marry Me For Money So Good
HaileyI had my legs spread wide, his knees clamping down on my bent knee when I moved to close my legs, hoping to rub them hard enough together to get the relief I was absolutely desperate to have. His hand slowly moved over my stomach, stopping to rest on my pubic bone, inches away from where I needed him to be.I whimpered in frustration.“Shh, I’m here,” he whispered.I felt a tear slip down my cheek. I loved him so much. He had my body taut as a bow by simply loving me and worshiping my body. When his index finger slid down my center, spreading my pussy lips, I cried out in earnest. It was the lightest touch over my clit that sent me over the edge. My body arched off the bed as a violent, earth-shattering climax tumbled me into a place with a million shooting stars overhead. I felt as if I had been electrocuted, every muscle in my body tensing as his finger slid inside me.He held me while I moaned and spasmed against him. When my body finally spiraled downward, he climbed on top
Marry Me For Money Shower
HaileyI was happier than I had ever been in my life, riding a high that just seemed to be getting better and better.“I’m going to jump in the shower,” I told him, heading toward his bedroom.It had been a long, busy day, and I was ready to unwind with the love of my life and a good bottle of wine. But first, I wanted to feel clean. I stripped off my jeans before turning on the hot water of his magnificent shower that was big enough to hold a small party in. The jets on the sides and the rainfall shower head made it a very enjoyable experience to shower in his bathroom. I thought about the house we had just visited and regretted not checking out the shower situation closer. I had been so overwhelmed by everything else, the shower slipped my mind.I stripped out of my clothes and stepped under the hot water, letting it cascade over my body. Suddenly, the room was filled with beautiful jazz music. I grinned, knowing that had been Terran. A few seconds later, I felt a cool blast of air
Marry Me For Money Heartache
Terran“It’s okay. If I had been honest from the start, I could have saved us a lot of heartache. It was never about the money for me. I wanted you, and I wanted to keep the company intact, even if that meant I had to step away from it.”She nodded her head, fresh tears welling in her eyes. “I’m sorry. I should have believed you. I’m so glad you came back and made me listen. I love you.”“I love you, and I would have walked through fire to get you back.”“I’m so glad you did.”“Thank you for showing me this. You’ve really opened my eyes. I think we can do a lot more good together. I want to do more of this.”She was smiling. “Good, because I plan on giving a large chunk of my salary for the movie to charity. I think we should decide where it goes together.”“What about here?” I asked.She burst into laughter. “I think that check you gave them is going to go a long way. There are plenty of other charities and organizations that are desperate for funding.”“Maybe we could start a founda
Marry Me For Money Generous Donation
TerranI took her hand in mine as we walked into the bank. I had her sit on one of the chairs in the center of the lobby while I spoke with one of the people sitting at an open desk. I rejoined Hailey, who was nervously looking around the huge bank with big black columns supporting the ridiculously high ceiling.“What are we doing here?” she asked.I smiled. “You’ll find out soon enough.”It wasn’t long before a man wearing an expensive suit was striding across the marble floor toward where we were sitting.“Mr. Maddox, it’s good to see you. I’m Con Steven, the manager here. I understand you have some business you need to take care of?”I stood and shook his hand. “I do. This is my fiancée Hailey Hollis.”He shook Hailey’s hand and then led the way to his office. We sat down in the chairs opposite his desk. He tapped on his keyboard, pulling up my account.“Okay, I see you have a large deposit made recently. What can I help you with?”“I would like to have a cashier’s check drawn up f
Marry Me For Money It Was You
HaileyWe talked with each of the kids for a little while before it was time for them to have their outside time. When Mandy left to take the kids to the playground, Terran turned to look at me. “That was crazy.”I laughed, picking up scattered crayons and scraps of paper. “It usually is.”“They all know you, and love you,” he said with awe.“I like to come by and help out. Mandy has a lot of kids to contend with, and with budget cuts, she doesn’t have a lot of help. I come in when I can. It lightens the load so the other aides and caregivers can focus on other stuff.” He was nodding his head. “I see.”“Terran, I brought you here because I wanted to show you why I’m so passionate about giving money to charities. This place is funded by the government, but that barely keeps the doors open and the lights on. They have to fight to get every dollar they can. I know it’s like that for a lot of other organizations.”He nodded his head. “I’m not opposed to giving money to charity. Not at al
Marry Me For Money Meeting The Kids
HaileyI wasn’t surprised to feel the bed empty beside me. We’d stayed at his house last night, as usual. We’d gone straight to bed, both of us tired after a long few days. Terran had tossed and turned all night. I had a feeling he was a lot more anxious about giving away the money than he was letting on. I had to assuage my own guilt. I walked into the living room to find him pacing the floor, his phone next to his ear as he talked about his schedule for the day.When he hung up, I smiled at him. He smiled back, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes as it normally did.“You didn’t sleep very well,” I said, walking to him to kiss him good morning.He shook his head. “No, I didn’t. I have a lot on my mind.”I nodded my head in understanding. “Was that the office?”“Yes. I was clearing my schedule for the day. I still need to do a conference call, but the rest can be taken care of from home. What about you?” “I’m free. I mean, I’m supposed to be learning my lines, but I don’t have to be
Marry Me For Money A Lot to Lose
Terran“I mean, I would not blame you for wanting to keep some or all of the money for our own future. I know you’re a genuine person. You don’t have to prove anything to me. It’s a lot of money to give away.” There was a skeptical look in her eye. “Are you saying that because you don’t want to give it away?”I shrugged a shoulder. “I won’t lie that I haven’t thought about what I could do with that money. I could expand the company, set up trust funds for every one of the seven children we’re going to have.” I winked, trying to make her laugh.“You don’t want to give the money to charity?” she asked.“I’m not saying that at all.”“But you’re regretting telling me you would?”I shook my head. I could see the wheels turning in her head. She was jumping to conclusions and letting the thoughts run away. I could see the anger and hurt in her eyes, and I grabbed her hand again.“Hailey, I regret nothing. I told you I would give it away if that was what you wanted. I will do anything to mak
