I was stunned.
“You’re just jealous that he likes me!” Ashley
screamed.
She grabbed her stomach, and said, “Take off
her clothes!”
“She owes me $30,000. That’s not enough, so
you’re going to take out a loan now!”
I froze, and felt numb.
The bodyguards went to rip off my clothes. I
tried to hide from them, and said:
“Wait! Wait, Ashley! I’ll give you the $30,000!
I’ll ask my family and friends! I’ll pay you
back!”

Ashley narrowed her eyes, and said, “You
think I’m stupid?”
“I won’t call the cops! You’re my bestie! I
would never do anything like that!”
“I said. I was just being crazy, but you’re with
a rich man! He can kill me with his pinky!”
I tried to be smooth, but she saw right
through it.

Ashley smirked. “Alright. You smart.”
She waved at the bodyguards, and they
released me.
Before I could breathe, Ashley said, “Chloe, I
knew you were the best.”
She faked a smile, but I saw the anger in her
eyes.
“It’s not just $30,000. Bump it up to a
million.”
“…Okay.”
I was quiet, and said yes.
I called my friends and family, and got a
million dollars. I sent it to her account.
Ashley smiled when she heard the money.
“That’s what I thought. We’re the best! Now,
I’ll be rolling in dough!”
I sucked it up, and forced a smile.
Ashley walked out of the house with the
bodyguards.
After it all happened, I moved home.
I said yes to the rich guy marriage, and asked
my parents to set up a meeting. They were
elated.
I had to figure out what to say.

The guy was wearing a fancy suit. He looked
tough, and mean.
He saw me, and beamed, “Chloe, it’s been a
while.”
I remembered him.
“Are you Marcus?”
He nodded.
I looked him up and down.
The guy that looked like he was going to fail every class was tall, muscular, and the
President of the company.
We knew each other, because of a

Marcus tried to cry out, but I came to the
rescue.
His mom got killed by another woman, and
this woman wanted to kill the kid for all the
money.
Marcus hated his dad, so he never talked
about any of this.
I remembered the story of Ashley stealing the
money.
I asked, “Did you do all of this because of the
kidnapping thing?”
Marcus agreed, and said, “I’ve always thought
about you.”
I asked him to be my boyfriend.
く
“To pay me back-”
I grabbed his hands, and said:
“Let’s get married.”
Chapter 2
The rich guy marriage was trending.
The media was obsessed.
The ceremony was soon after the proposal.
I grabbed Marcus’s arm, and went around
greeting guests.
Someone outside was causing a ruckus.
“What? The rich guy marriage is with Chloe?
Cho’s rich now21”
Г
One woman asked. “It’s what it said on the
invite!”
I knew that voice.
Marcus was in the bathroom, so I ran to get
Ashley away from the wedding.
She was wearing a wedding dress, and
started walking towards me.
“Chloe, you little thief! I thought you were my
best friend, but you had to ruin everything,
and steal my guy! I will kill you today!”
The bodyguards grabbed me, and Ashley
went crazy.
