Flirting On The Phone Went Awry

Synopsis

Martin Turner had a secret crush on Sandra Campbell. Meanwhile, I, Maya Hall, was the stand-in bride the Hall family shoved forward to pay off a debt. To keep up appearances, Sandra handed me her account and told me to chat with Martin in her place. I understood men all too well. I kept him guessing, just enough to have him hooked. Before long, the most infamous playboy in the city was losing sleep over those messages, staring at his phone like a man possessed. But Sandra didn't know that Martin knew the truth. On our wedding night, he didn't show up at the bridal suite. Instead, he kicked open the door to my attic room. The next thing I knew, he had me pressed against the desk, my phone trapped between us. On the screen was the divorce request I had just sent. His eyes burned as he gritted out, "How dare you flirt with me and then run off? Your family owes you a life debt. I'll help you collect. As for what you owe me, you'll spend the rest of your life paying it back." That same night, the Turner family went bankrupt. And me, the woman they thought they'd locked in a cage, was finally doted upon.
