who does he think he is" I banged the table in my room making Lily step back a bit. "who does he think he is to throw money at me and expect me to marry him uh" my eyes were filled with fury. "does he think that I'm some cheap hoe that he can just throw money at and I would throw myself at him??. If he thinks like that then he is so wrong, super wrong" I drank the alcohol left in the bottle. "can you just calm down a bit" Lily's hands were on my shoulder which comforted me a bit. "I should calm down huh. I just feel like punching him in the face and scarring him so that he think twice to throw money at girls because he is rich and handsome. Lily just continued to tap my back so I can vent all my anger out .
"he is crazy" lily said, her hands still on mine
"of course he his"
"so what are you going to do now" its going to be month end in 3 days time" lily's voice was filled with Concern, of course she is and so am I.
"Honestly I don't know and honestly don't know what to do" I lay my head on her chest and cried my eyes out. There was nothing I could do, I have tried everything in my power to come up with the money but nothing's working and I'm dead broke.
"Its not such a bad idea to marry him?" Lily said and I removed my head from her chest and moved back a bit to see if she was joking but she wasn't. "What are you even saying Lily, I should marry that arrogant and rude jerk for money?" my eyes were flowing with tears and I couldn't stop them."
I mean think about it a rich, handsome sexy hot billionaire is asking you to marry him for money. It means that something is going on with him and he has no other choice. Let you see there must be something going on that he needs to marry you. Lily said making a point, but honestly, I wasn't getting it.
" So you mean I should marry someone I don't know for money? What if he sells me or tries to ship me off or something. I wasn't getting the point lily was making or I just didn't want to get it. I felt so frustrated.
"Ok let me explain, what if he needs ito get married to maybe because he is being forced to and he needs someone for it, and here you are who needs money for your mother's hospital bills. It's like using what you have to get what you want, he knows you won't be able to resist the offer even though you declined to it." Lilly looked at me to see if I understood what she said.
"So you are saying its a win-win situation, I need money, he needs a wife?" Lilly's head nodded in agreement.
"That sly handsome man" my hands turns into a fist
No no no no I can't do it. I literally do not like him he is arrogant, rude , and might even be bossy, there is no way I can tolerate someone like that." I opened another bottle of alcohol and gulped it down.
"You don't have to like him you know" I paused on my drink putting it down gently on the table.
"You mean I should enter a loveless marriage" my voice was above a whisper.
"Yes you don't need to like him, you can hate him all you want all you need is the money and you can pretend he doesn't exist." I just tried to piece out the information that was coming in.
I never imagined for a moment that my life would turn out this way marrying a man for money I ran my hand through my hair.
"this is too much to take in" I took another gulp from the alcohol bottle. I'll come up with another way to make the money, but marrying that arrogant man! No! I rather perish in the pit of hell than marrying him. I took another gulp and lily just watched me like I was a favourite scene from her favourite movie.

"huh can I take a loan" I asked the banker who was busy with something in his computer.
"I just checked your account and it's not legible to borrow money, sorry for the inconvenience" he turned me down politely.
Of Coursee who am I kidding, I don't have savings no property to sell and my debts keeps piling up. There's no way they would ever let me borrow money.
"this is getting so annoying" I took a seat close to the bank and brought out the card the Mrs Asshole gave me.
"what other choice do I have...I just need the money right...it can't be that bad, I can't believe I'm doing this " my hands began to shake from so much neverousness as I took out my phone.
I dailed the number and it rang.
"I'll marry you?"
