Marry Me For Money All A Fake
TerranI scoffed. “How exactly are you going to do that? I guarantee if you ask her if we’re getting married, she’s going to say yes.”Lance grinned. It was an evil grin that actually made me very nervous. “Are you sure about that?”I nodded. “Yes, I am. She’ll show you the ring and tell you the story of how I proposed.”Lance shook his head. “You didn’t even know this woman three months ago, and now you’re ready to marry her after being a bachelor your entire adult life. No judge is going to believe that, especially with your reputation. You’ve never had a relationship.”“No one can tell me what’s in my heart. And seriously, are you stalking me? Why the hell are you so interested in my love life?” Lance burst into laughter. “You don’t love her. You don’t love anybody. All you want is the money, so you concocted this little scheme to get it. It’s the oldest trick in the book, but I’m not going to let you get away with it.”“Empty threats, as usual,” I said. “I don’t know why you came
Marry Me For Money About The Audition
HaileyI was far more confident than I had been the last time I arrived at Gabriel’s office. I was practically bouncing through the door as I walked up to the receptionist.“Hi, Hailey,” she greeted me with a friendly smile.She remembered who I was. That was a huge ego boost.“Hi, I’m here to see Gabriel.”She nodded her head. “He’s waiting for you. You can go ahead and go on in.”I walked back to the office, knocked once, and proceeded inside. As usual, Gabriel was pacing around his office, his phone pressed to his ear as he waved one hand while talking. I waited near the door until he was finished with his call.“Hailey!” he greeted me with that familiar enthusiasm.“Hi,” I replied, feeling far more comfortable with him than before.I realized it was simply his personality. He wasn’t being weird or trying to flirt. He was an energetic guy who called it like he saw it. I wouldn’t hold it against him.“Great news!” he exclaimed, walking toward me and wrapping me up in a big bear hug.
Marry Me For Money Being A Jerk
Hailey“Hailey, wait. I’m sorry. I’m being a jerk. Stay, please. Can I get you a beer or maybe a glass of wine? I really just need a minute to unwind.” I smiled, seeing the tension in his face, and nodded my head. I had to get used to these moments. It wasn’t always going to be rainbows and butterflies. I was going to be his wife. It was my job to help him relax after a long, hard day. I was supposed to be his sounding board. I took a deep breath and walked back into the kitchen.“I’d love a glass of wine,” I said with a smile, putting my purse on the kitchen table.He nodded and quickly poured me a glass of white wine before taking my hand and leading me to the patio. We sat down and spent several minutes listening to the sounds of the city below while enjoying the sun moving lower in the sky.“Tell me about your day,” he said.I stood up and kissed him on the forehead. “Let me get you another beer, and then we can talk.”I returned with the beer and sat down in the lounge chair nex
Marry Me For Money Meeting The Boyfriend
TerranI couldn’t keep my eyes off her. She was standing on the other side of the vanity, applying mascara as we got ready for our double date with Mandy and her new boyfriend. Hailey had been chatting nonstop while I shaved and she put on her makeup. It was odd to be in the same bathroom getting ready together as if we had done it a hundred times before. I loved being around her. It was too easy.“What are you looking at?” she asked, holding the mascara wand in her hand.I grinned. “You.”“Why? What’s up? Do I have something in my teeth?” She immediately turned back to the mirror and made a terrible face as she twisted her lips to expose her teeth.I burst into laughter. “No. Please, don’t do that. You’re ruining my image of you.”She started laughing. “Sorry. Beauty does not come easy.”I shook my head. “I always thought you were makeup free. You’re blowing my mind right now.”She turned and winked at me. “That’s the idea. This natural look has taken years to perfect.”“I like it.”
Marry Me For Money Throwing Punches
TerranI looked at her and shook my head. “I didn’t do it.”“Well, the only people that even knew were Mandy and us, and I know she didn’t do it,” Hailey said, her voice slightly irritated.I mentally groaned. Zach. It had to have been Zach. That explained the use of our public headshots. “Never mind. I know who did it. Sorry, I guess I assumed it was you.”In the back of my mind, I was back to feeling like an asshole. I seemed to be doing that a lot lately. I kept misjudging Hailey. She hadn’t released the announcement. She wasn’t bragging about snaring me. I was an egotistical prick, assuming I was some grand prize to be won.She laughed, the mood relaxing a bit. “Who was it?” she asked, her hand moving back to my thigh.“Zach,” I admitted.“Who’s Zach?” Mandy asked.“He’s my best friend. I told him on Saturday. He must have been a little excited.” I made a mental note to call him and then kick his ass.“I can’t wait to meet him,” Hailey said enthusiastically. “He’s obviously pretty
Marry Me For Money A Little Bit Psycho
HaileyI added a little powder to my nose, fluffed my hair, and pulled my strapless dress up a little. We were both standing in front of the vanity in the bathroom, doing what women did when they visited the bathroom together—we primped.“What do you think?” Mandy asked as she swiped on another slick of lipstick.“Of?” I asked, playing dumb and stalling as I tried to think of something to say.“You know what—Reggie. He’s handsome, right?”I nodded my head. “He is very good looking. How old is he?” I estimated him to be close to forty, which seemed too old for Mandy.“Thirty-nine, which isn’t much older than your future husband, I might add, so don’t lecture me on that.”I smiled. “I wasn’t going to lecture you. The heart wants what it wants.”“You’re dodging the question, which tells me you don’t care for him.”I shrugged a shoulder. “I’m not saying that at all. He seems smart, nice.” I didn’t want to dog on the guy.My gut instinct told me he was a douchebag, but I had thought that a
Marry Me For Money Defending Her Honor
HaileyWe walked out of the restaurant and quickly hailed a cab to take us back to his place. We didn’t talk the entire ride home. I was stunned and pissed at the same time. I had never known him to be violent. I wasn’t sure what happened, but it had to be something big. I had a feeling Reggie would be pressing charges in order to get a payout from Terran. It was the oldest trick in the book, one I would have thought Terran would know by now.When we got back to his place, I ordered him to sit down while I grabbed a sandwich bag and filled it with ice. I walked back to the living room to see him sitting on the couch, looking at the back of his hand.“Here,” I said, handing him the ice.“Is it for my hand or my face?” He smirked.I looked at his face and shook my head. “It doesn’t look like you’re going to suffer from a black eye. You have a split lip, but you’ll recover.”“My hand then. That may not recover.”“Tell me what happened,” I said softly.He dragged in a deep breath, closing
Marry Me For Money Scars
TerranI woke up with my beautiful fiancée snuggled against me and knew I was a lucky man. I moved to get out of bed when she stopped me.“Hey, Tyson, how’s the hand?” she asked in a groggy voice.I laughed. “Sore, but I’m sure I’ll survive. I need to shower and get ready.” When I got out of the shower, she had a cup of coffee waiting for me, along with a couple ibuprofen.“I figured you’d be a little sore,” she said with a smile.“Thank you. And thank you for taking care of me last night.”She gave me a gentle kiss on the uninjured side of my mouth. “I’ve got to get going. Be good today, and try not to beat anyone else up.”“Ha, ha,” I said in a dry tone.I quickly finished my coffee before heading out. When I reached for the door handle, I realized just how sore my hand was. My knuckles were an ugly purple and swollen. I wasn’t going to be doing any major typing today.I walked into the office, doing my best not to make direct eye contact with anyone. I had escaped a black eye, but

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
