Suddenly, he pulled me around to face him, about to kiss me. I dodged and shot back, “Nathan handed me five percent of his company’s stock. Do you honestly think I still need your cash?”

The whole flirty vibe instantly iced over. Jared let go of me, and even in the darkness, I could see the shock written all over his face.

“Why would he give you that much stock?” Jared’s voice was tight with anger, barely holding it together. “What is he really after?”

I let out a cold laugh. “He said I was his benefactor–he’s just grateful I helped him through two rough patches.”

Jared’s breathing was ragged, his voice tight with frustration. “So he gave it to you, and you just accepted it? Don’t you get it? By taking his money, you’re giving him every right to sleep with you.”

“Jared, what right do you have to judge me?” I asked coldly.

Jared suddenly fell silent, slumping against the wall. Even his usually perfect hair was a mess now.

I walked over and switched the lights back on. Jared just stood there, looking totally defeated. “I forgot–you like money, but you’re not exactly short of it. There are plenty of people lining up to throw cash your way.”

I didn’t even bother to answer him, my tone cold and flat. “Just go.”

Jared looked totally wrecked as he yanked the door open and left.

The next morning, I was half–asleep when I felt something poking at my arm. I opened my eyes and saw Yvonne trying to snuggle up to me.

“Mom… it’s really you! Dad wasn’t lying–you really came back!” Yvonne cheered, clinging to my arm, all excited.
