love money poor rich

"I said, did you steal the other glass slipper?"
          I stopped sweeping the floor and clasped the handle of the broom tightly with my hand. I was too frozen on the spot to move.
          "I—"
          "Stop!" Chris slammed his hand on the wooden table, making me jump. "I asked you a question, damn you. Don't pretend like you're that stupid to avoid it. You're not as pitiful as that clown you fake with your friends." He took a few steps forward, his face a breathless mask of anger. "ANSWER ME!"
          I had prepared a lot of times for this moment. There were a lot of reasons—a lot of words—to explain my motive, but being in the present only made me realize how reality made them useless. For all my good intentions, I had nothing truthful to say. The truth would only make it worse. So I went with the only thing that came close to it.

Bare for you (French Mafia Romance) by fadedreign

Cash I fucked up. Or rather, I'm fucked up. How did I, a high ranking member of the French mafia, allow myself to be distracted by this... stripper? I was supposed to use her for information, that's it. It should have been easy. I pay her money and she tells me about the Russians. Simple. Except, I fucked it up. I let the one advantage we had over them go because I fucking claimed her. What's even worse is that she hates pretending to be my woman and fights me with every single thing. Yeah, it's a fucked up situation but now that I've met her and she's mine, I wouldn't change a goddamn thing. Lux I fucked up. I knew the risk of the Russian men finding out about me but I went along with it anyway. Hell, I almost had to. If you were offered $10,000 to ask a man a few question, would you turn it down? You're a goddamn liar if you say no. Or maybe you're smart as hell because now I'm stuck with a mafia man that refuses to leave me alone. I'm now in between a war I never knew existed. If I had the chance to go back and never meet Cash, would I do it? You damn right I would. Who am I kidding? Now I'm the goddamn liar.

The CEO's Shy Girl (Editing) by Enn0114

"Ms. Peterson, did you attend a club Friday night? " Mr. Shaw said causally as he focused his eyes on his twirling pen. "No" I said trying not to show that I was lying. But then again people always think I'm lying. "Well I just ask because when I went to a club Friday night...there was a girl who looked an awful lot like, you dancing on one of the tables at a bar with a bra on as a top" he said focusing his narrowing eyes on me now. " Is that question really appropriate to ask in the work place sir?" I said confused. "I'm not sure? Is it Ms. Peterson?" he said a little sarcastically. "Well... since you are not sure, I will just be on the safe side and not answer it sir" I said hoping to get a positive response for what I just said. "Very well. Get out now" he said coldly and I walked out of the office with my next assignment. Why didn't God answer my prayer about Mr. Shaw getting attacked by a bear? I thought to myself when i had close the door behind me. (Written September 22 2017 Has mature language and I might write another part for the steamy scenes and this is my first book so take it easy. This is still Jenjen010101 I just changed it to Enn0114 because I can. #233 on July 6 DON'T STEAL MY FREAKING WORK. I GOT RIGHT'S ON THIS BITCH , BITCH. Thank you and have a pleasant read)

Enchantment by meg_Thornton

As we stepped into the penthouse, Declan finally released my arm. I rubbed the spot where his fingers had dug in, already feeling the bruise forming beneath my skin. The silence stretched between us, taut as a wire ready to snap. "Are you going to explain what that was all about?" I demanded, my voice trembling with barely contained anger. Declan whirled on me, his eyes flashing dangerously. "Don't play innocent, Venus. I saw you with him." "With who? Halvard?" I laughed incredulously. "Your best friend? The man who's been nothing but supportive of our relationship?" "Supportive?" Declan spat the word like it was poison. "He's been waiting for his chance, circling like a vulture." I shook my head, disbelief washing over me. "You're being ridiculous. Halvard would never-" "Don't defend him!" Declan roared, making me flinch. "I've seen the way he looks at you, the way you light up around him. Do you think I'm blind?" My heart raced as I watched Declan pace the room like a caged animal. This wasn't the man I'd fallen in love with. This wasn't the Declan who had swept me off my feet with his charm and intensity. This was someone else entirely, someone consumed by jealousy and paranoia.

Her Bad Choices by jessmb94

COMPLETED! BOOK ONE RESTRICTED! MATURE ONLY! I rolled my eyes at how easy I had him wrapped around my finger. I tapped my index finger on my temple. Contemplating what lie to make up this time. I smirked when the perfect lie came to me. I laughed out loud, thinking about all the other men I had pulled into believing my lies. One man, who was very lonely believed I was having financial problems at home. He had believed I was getting kicked out without much effort from me. I typed out very carefully my next lie to my new easy money. I rolled my eyes at how pathetic I sounded. The man instantly responded, bringing a smile to my face. He was on my hook like a fish. I had him already taking my bait.

THE DEVIL HIMSELF (Unedited) by Happyharriet

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry , it's my fault" I apologized. His gray eyes match the color of a storm. His ebony black hair was styled to perfection. His three piece tailored suit screamed MONEY! He had a disapproving look on his stupid face. "Clearly, are you blind or something?" I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off. "Disgusting! How do you common people live?". Common people? What is that supposed to mean?!. "We common people , are doing just fine" I snapped. "Disgusting!" He said again. "You petty people shouldn't even be around in this world, spoiling and polluting the air everywhere and just littering yourselves here and there, utterly disgusting" he spat.

Hidden Truths by NKThrills

Book #2 of Dueling Desires series It all started with a dare. Of course, it did. "Come on, Lemi. I dare you," Grace grinned, nudging me at the party. "I bet you wouldn't last five minutes in a room with him. He'd drive you crazy." "Please," I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "He's not that bad. Besides, I've seen worse." Grace arched an eyebrow, mischief dancing in her eyes. "I don't know. He's Aiden Finn. The guy has a way of getting under people's skin." I found myself standing by the bar, sitting next to the one person I had no business approaching. Aiden didn't even glance up when I sat beside him, completely focused on his phone. Typical. "You gonna keep pretending I'm not here?" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. He finally looked up, slow and deliberate, and when our eyes met, there was that trademark smirk. "Didn't realize you were that desperate for my attention, Tsukumo." Ugh. That tone. Smug, infuriating, and annoyingly attractive-if you were into that kind of thing. Which I was not. "I'm just here to make sure your ego stays in check," I shot back, crossing my arms. "Not everything's about you, Finn." He chuckled, and for a second, I almost forgot why I found him so irritating. "You sure about that?" he said, leaning closer. His voice dropped to a low murmur, the kind that made my heart skip for reasons I'd rather not admit. "Because it looks like you've been watching me all night." I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore the way his words sent a shiver down my spine. "Please. I don't know why anyone falls for your act." Aiden's gaze lingered, like he was trying to figure me out, leaning back with that casual confidence I hated. "Maybe they know something you don't." I raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? And what's that?" He locked eyes with me, his smirk fading into something more serious, more intense. "That you're just like me. You're scared of letting anyone in." For a second, I froze. His words like he could see straight through me. But no.

PRECIOUS(Not Edited) by Awuor6

"What the hell is your problem Mario."I yelled breathing unevenly. I noticed him fuming. I bet he hated being yelled at. Well, guess what, I didn't care. " You can't forbid me from going outside."I pointed my index finger to the gigantic black door that I just busted through. "Don't you. Yell.at me."his teeth were gritted so tightly I could see them through his skin. "I just wanted us to talk and where the hell were you going?"I rolled my eyes. Was he being serious right now. We never talked . He always issued orders to me. "You don't want to talk.you want to give and order. I just want a minute alone to think."I reasoned almost crying. "And you don't want to think precious. I know the moment you step out that gate, you would leave me."he looked at me clearly trying to put his anger in check.What the hell was he even mad at?what on earth was he talking about? "W-what?" "Just fucking go upstairs! go and think from there!"he snapped. His hands balled into a fist. "You can not order me to think. I am not in the mood anymore.why don't you go ahead and write your orders down..that's what you are good at99 anyway. Husband! "he gave me a poker face making me wonder who the hell I got married to . I couldn't stand him even for a second. Sighing I turned around to the spiral stairs going to the bedroom. I just prayed that he kept his dumb ass downstairs or back to his office. Precious A 2o years old economic graduate has a bit of bad luck in choosing her partner. She was left at the alter,suffered his home's wrath until she had to move. Mario A 30 years old multi billionaire with a nasty attittuude and a dark past.he was a straight manwhore until he met precious.

C O M P L E T E D "Date me," he spins the whiskey around in the glass and fixes me with a smirk. I roll my eyes the moment the words roll off his tongue. "Are you really that desperate?" I scoff in response, fighting back the ever prominent blush. His smirk widens as my face flushes red and he leans over the countertop towards me. I step back. "Name your price," he replies, his words cool and smooth like ice cream. Only I would reference food at a moment like this. Anger rolls around in the pit of my stomach; I may not have money but I have morals. "You can't buy people, Grant," The words fall out of my mouth and he recoils as if slapped. I'm glad. Stupid rich boy and his player ways. "Bet I can," I resist the urge to slap the smug look of his face and scoff again. "Right," I drag out the word, rolling my eyes. I step away from the counter and turn my back on him, desperate to leave. But he speaks again. "Date me. Two months. If you fall for me for my money, I win. If I fall for you for who you really are, you win." I consider this for a moment. I have nothing to loose and really not much to gain. But I'm so desperate to put the asshole in his place that I can't resist. I'm a sucker for a bet. "Deal."
