My fiancé, Owen Linden, had a huge fight with me before his business trip. He said all I did was ask for money. "You don't even make 70,000 dollars a year, and you dare ask me for that money?" he snapped. He didn't know. I just wanted to save my grandma's life. On the way to the hospital, my neighbor, May Walker, tried to talk me into it. "Timothy Sterling, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Sterling, broke both his legs. No one wants to marry him. "If you say yes, they'd shower you with riches." Seventy thousand dollars was more than I could earn in a year. The Sterling family was no worse than Owen's. But I was scared Timothy wouldn't want me. So I asked, my voice trembling with fear, "I don't need all that wealth. Just 70,000 dollars. Is that okay?"
