He Bought Me, He Owned Me, And I Let Him

Synopsis

My grandma always said a woman's heart needs to be as hard as stone, otherwise you'd end up getting scammed out of your money and your body. My grandpa trusted his childhood sweetheart way too much back in the day. She not only cleaned out all his money but also sold him to some underground club. The state he was in when they finally rescued him is still the stuff of my nightmares. So I didn't do feelings. I only did money. In college, I juggled three rich guys at the same time. I told each one that my family was drowning in debt, and whoever paid it off first could have me. By graduation, I'd walked away with one million bucks they'd given me and caught the first train out of town. Later, I started going after those big-shot businessmen who thought they were so slick. Simon Hayes was my latest target. He was famous for being a married scumbag—kept his wife at home while playing around with whoever he wanted on the side. I set up a scheme to become his assistant. Then one night at a private party, I cornered him in the dressing room. He pulled out a blank check and tossed it at me. "Fill it in yourself." His hand slid up my skirt while he said it. I was ecstatic inside. After this one, I'd be set for life. When things wrapped up, I was about to leave when a big hand grabbed the back of my neck and shoved me against the wall. The guy behind me pressed close. "You want money? How about you try me instead? I'll pay a lot more."
