Married for A Million Dollars

Married for A Million Dollars:.Chapter 2: Here to propose marriage.“My coworker said Mr. Montenegro came looking for me,” Ariana explains impatiently. “Well, I’m looking at you and you’re definitely not him.”A scowl replaces his smug expression. “I am definitely Mr. Montenegro—Williams Montenegro the first, to be exact.”Judging from his bomber jacket that happens to be Saint Laurent, Balmain skinnies, and black suede Timberlands, he’s certainly loaded and dresses accordingly to that—nothing which Ariana didn’t expect. On the other hand, there isn't a single trace of Walter’s qualities, like his cheeriness and bright black eyes he could associate him with. Except for that sculpted chin rudely pointing her way.I have a feeling this is the part where I stop scribbling his name in my textbooks. Nothing like your dream man turning out to be your worst nightmare.Ariana snaps out of her reverie and focuses on those hazel eyes that still gleam in obvious disgust. She rolls her own

Married for A Million Dollars .Chapter 4: far from Ariana’s ideal type. .“No. I can’t.” She shakes her head. “I can’t marry you. Even for A Million Dollars.” And although she would do anything to oblige her good friend’s wishes, a million dollars is a luxury that a poor person like her couldn't even afford to even think about.“No?” Williams repeats faintly. He narrows his eyes. “I wouldn’t refuse it just like that, Gillies. A million dollars is a shit ton of money that I know you’re in desperate need of.”Now it’s Ariana’s turn to clench and unclench both fists. “You know nothing about me, Montenegro.”The bastard shrugs nonchalantly. “Oh, but I do know enough. For example, I know that your dad died and left you under the water. You’re drowning in debt that you couldn’t even pay back with all your life. Your house is this close to being auctioned off. It’s six months behind mortgage and even though you saved it from foreclosure once last year, you won’t be able to save it again.

Married for A Million Dollars:.Chapter 6: close call and a save .“Come on, Ari,” Harold croaks, his lips upturned into a smirk. For every step Ariana takes backwards, the man only takes two steps forward in response. “What’s a few minutes going to do you? You’ll make some time for your generous customer, won’t you?”Ariana’s hands delve into her back pocket. “Look, if you want your money back, then you’ll get your money back. Just stay away from me.”It looks like what little control she believed she had over the situation quickly dissipates into the air as the lascivious glint in Harold’s eyes darken.He’s approached so close that Ariana stumbles into the cold surface of the dumpster. That’s when she yanks the money out of her pocket and tosses it at the man.“Okay, here. Take it.” The bills flutter to the ground. Harold makes no move to retrieve them.Whatever color’s remaining from Ariana’s face has drained.Harold chuckles. “If it’s money you want, Ari, then that’ll be arrange

Married for A Million Dollars:.Chapter 8: call me by my first name . “This isn’t signed,” Williams remarks as he goes over the contract. “Not yet. Had some alterations I wanted to get back to you with.” Ariana sets down her fork. “I want the payment divided in five installments. First two hundred thousand on our wedding night. Then the second part four months later and the third part two months after, and the remaining at the end of the year. The personal expense thing is fine, but I want a separate bedroom for myself, a charity budget, and a scholarship to any academy of my choice. If I happen to die before the contract expires, the rest of my payment should be donated to the charity listed on my will. If you die, I have the right to be paid full by your estate without adhering to the contract.” She doesn’t notice Williams leaning over her as she leafs through each section. When Ariana glances up, startled at his presence, Williams sits back and shrugs. “Sounds good to me. But

Married for A Million Dollars:.Chapter 10: selling her soul at a cost. Not only does Williams possess a pretty face and boyish charm, there’s a sense of professionalism to him that makes him sound and seem older. His handsomeness contains depth in his personality and the dignity he was raised to hold would make him stand out from a group of young adults like him. In fact, he could’ve said he was a minor and Ariana would’ve been just as smitten.She must’ve been gawking at him longer than necessary because Williams’s frown slowly turns smug. “I guess you don't give a damn about my age from the way you're checking me out."Way to ruin the moment.Ariana scowls. “Why should I care about the person I’m marrying if I’m just in for the money?”His beautiful hazel eyes waver for a second and it nearly wounds her to hear Williams mutter, “You didn't have to put it that way,” and turn away from her.“Look,” Ariana says after a moment, guiltily reaching for his arm. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean
