"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.
"Yes."

Being loved by a Millionaire
(In the process of being heavily edited! Chp 1-6 finished) His eyes sparkle wickedly, as he smirks down at me. "You obviously don't know who I am do you?" He really expects me to know who he is? I burst out laughing and roll my eyes, "Obviously you aren't important enough for me to know." His face is now dangerously close to mine and for a second I swear he is going to kiss me. Instead, his lips brush my ear, sending shock waves throughout my whole body. I don't think I can push him away even if I tried. His voice is low and husky in my ear, "My name is Marcus Declan, and I am powerful enough to buy you and every last thing you own."Complete

Broken Girls And Broken Boys
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."Complete

"You really need to stop swearing Molly." "Psh. I'll stop cussing when someone offers me a million dollars." I barely noticed the man get up from his table. I was well aware that he was listening from where he sat, I just didn't know he was really paying attention. I just see him wipe his face with a napkin before he disappears from my peripheral vision.

"I'm prepared to offer you one million dollars, if that is, you remain abstinent from cursing for one solid year."Complete
