"I want to make you my wife'' The moment the words leave his mouth, I widen my eyes in shock. His wife? Not even an escort, but his wife? "I will only explain the details if you accept" He concludes with that. A contract to be his wife? For two years at most? That is just ludicrous, and yet it looks like something rich people would do. They feel like they can buy even human beings to do what they want. I look back at Matt to find him already staring at me cautiously, waiting for me to explode. I don't. Looking back at the visitor, I simply ask, "And if I say no?" He smiles, but even his smile is dangerous. It doesn't reach his eyes and it is the type that looks cute on the outside but is indeed menacing, and is meant to make mockery of the person he is smiling at. I may not be too smart but I know that much. "I'm afraid that is hardly an option" He says. ----------- A story in which Florette Autenbry, who works as a waitress in the bar of an escort organization, happens to meet Zavian Dorian, a billionaire businessman who is in need of a wife for reasons peculiar to him.
