Falling For The Man I Married

Madi's POV:

We chose to sit in the far corner of the cafeteria. For sure, Troy will be looking for us, but we need these girlish moments for the two of us.

"Okay, so let's get back to the topic. Where were we again?" Sandy asked immediately once we were seated?

"Because of his ex-fiancee."

"Okay?" she urged me to continue as she started eating her lasagna.

"He offered me a deal. He wanted me to be his wife for I don't know how long and he never mentioned. He's willing to give me $100MM just to agree with his plan-----"

I stopped talking when she coughed the food from her mouth.

"I really hate you! You always do that. If it's not a drink, your food!" I complained with a deep frown.

"I'm sorry. I was just shocked." she defended, wiping her mouth. "How much it again----- $100MM?" she gulped as she couldn't believe how huge the amount was.

I just nodded.

"My God! That's a huge amount of money, Madi. I can quit working and put my own business!" she exclaimed, bringing the glass of water in her mouth.

I didn't say anything.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot you already have one." she rolled her eyes.

"Yup but even if I don't have it, I still won't accept his money. Because that only shows how big his desperation to get revenge on his ex."

"Whoah! Revenge? What do you mean... he asked you to marry him just to get revenge on her?"

"Yes. What a stupid idea right?"

"B-But why? What for?"
