Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 58: for a year .“This isn’t some kind of cult, right?” Ariana cautiously accepts the cream-colored envelope and examines the golden cursive printed across the front.Lance shakes his head with a laugh. “Nah, of course not. SFSB is an organization that’s been around for as long as I can remember. It’s an esteemed group of the city’s wealthiest individuals who campaign for charity funds and other worldwide advocacies. Majority of them help the cause with their social connections. Just being invited to their dinner is honorable enough. It usually means you’re on your way towards recruitment.”Ariana wrinkles her nose in response and tosses the invitation aside.It’s been a few days prior to Walter’s hospitalization, and because it’s her turn watching the elderly man today, Ariana’s brought her work outside the suite’s posh balcony where she and Lance go through the weekly rundown of crap she normally ignores. The list has been doubling now that s

Antonio and Quincy usually assist their father till evening, but Ariana and Williams had been lingering around them lately until the clock struck eleven.Williams expresses the need for a shower as soon as they get home. He drops a kiss on Ariana’s forehead on his way to the ensuite while Ariana makes herself comfortable on the couch before turning the television on.Due to the previous lack of cable in her house, she quickly grew fond of the luxury since moving in with Liam—and practically conquering his room like her own, which according to her husband, is cute, if not a little weird.Speaking of which, Williams steps out of the bathroom in white pajamas half

Married For A Million Dollars .Chapter 61: refined, critiquing antique way. Lance steps back with a smile. “You look wonderful in this refined, antique way.”“So, a History professor from hell.”“You look fine, Ariana.” Sarah sighs, gesturing towards the double-breasted suit she put her in. “Like, sure, you look like an honorary prick from the Board, I’ll give you that. But at the same time, you’ve got your signature twist that screams your name.”To be fair, she does give off a sophisticated vibe with her ridiculously expensive tie, fitted windowpane blazer over her white dress shirt, exclusively from Versace and Saint Laurent, respectively. The ensemble—along with her hideous Berlutis—met the required dress code, but at least she’s able to keep her favorite pendant, rings, and threader earrings on, even if it seems controversial. Not that it’d stop her in the first place.The three of them planned the details beforehand and spent the last week making minor adjustments. Although

Once Ariana is sure she’s steered clear of the hotel, her straightened shoulders slump and she feels the excitement instantly deflate out of her.Although she stands true to her words back at the banquet, she’s lost more than what she’s gained by blowing this opportunity. It stings worse when she figures she was never given a fair chance, to begin with. Ariana knows she should’ve expected an ambush after searching up gossip on their past havoc beforehand, but she believed otherwise. And now all she can do is admit that the blows not only wound her pride but also gave her a taste of the Board’'s true colors. Despite the generous motives behind the organization, the members themselves were arrogant, misogynistic assholes. And although she was very well aware of this, Ariana’s tendency to dismiss even the crudest of people got the best of her.The only problem with giving these ignorant dickheads a chance is that th

He twists to the side and surveys the shoes confusedly, turning back to Ariana and asking, “Did you, uh, wear sneakers to the banquet?”The mood sours at the mention of the disastrous evening.Ariana lowers her gaze. “No, I went shopping afterward.”“Shopping.” Williams echoes, brightening up again. “What else did you get? Please don’t tell me you have a whole stash of shoes hidden somewhere.”“What? No. This is it.”And apparently, that’s a tough case to believe, because Williams’s eyes widen comically. “You seriously went on a shopping spree for sneakers? That’s it? You’ve got money to splurge and that’s all you got?”“What else was I supposed to spend it on, crack?”The only reaction she receives is endless snickers, much to her displeasure. “You’re killing me here, Ariana .”“Don’t tempt me,” She snaps.“Hey, come on now. Don’t be like that,” Liam coos. “I never thought I’d say this but I really dig your fashion. I
