“Sign the marriage contract, Kinsley. You’ll get two hundred and fifty thousand dollars today. And the first million after we’re married.”
She gasps as she falls into the other chair.
“This money is strictly for your research,” I tell her.
“I’m behind on my mortgage payments, though.” She stares at me. Really looks at me for the first time.
“Even though you won’t live there, I’ve paid off your house.”
“Nick what? Why?” Her beautiful face hardens.
“You’re forcing my hand,” she growls.
“I’m merely taking care of my fiancée.”
She scoffs as she snatches the pen out of my hand.
“You’re a piece of work.” She shakes her head as she begins signing the documents.
As she pauses to read the contract again, the pen hovers over the paper. “Children, Nick?”
Her head swivels in my direction. “And I have to stay married to you for five years.”
That last part stings a little.
“The goal was to marry a man for two and a half years, tops,” she sighs.
“But I’m not just any man, am I, Kinsley?”
“No, you’re in the mafia. Everyone knows you get what you want.”
Kinsley scribbles her signature on the final document.
“I'll transfer the agreed-upon amount of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to your bank account,” Gail confirms.
“Thanks, Gail. You've been a huge help,” Kinsley says with a smirk.
She stands and confidently strides out of the office.
"It seems like you and Kinsley have a past," Gail remarks.
I nod in agreement. “Yes, we attended college together. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse between us. But now everything has changed.”
Kinsley is the only woman who can get my heart beating again.
