Haven grabs my wrist.

“I pays you. I’m inheriting a shit-ton of cash. Tens of millions. I simply want you to play good, fake you’re loopy about me, attend a couple of truthfully horrible household gatherings, and keep married on paper for a yr. Perhaps much less.”

“I see.” There’s no attainable method I can marry this man. “As a lot as I’d like to assist—”

“One million {dollars},” Haven says, his tone determined. “Please. Don’t make me embarrass myself much more.”

“Why me, Haven? For all , I could possibly be a horrible individual.”

“Yeah, I don’t care what sort of individual you might be. We’d should do a prenup, however I promise I’d make it price your whereas.” He slides off the automobile, tugging his pants up. “That is my shot, Raphael. My probability to make one thing of myself. I’ve been on the lookout for weeks and I couldn’t even discover somebody I needed to bang, a lot much less fake to be in love with. A minimum of we have now chemistry. I can reside with that.”

“You don’t perceive. I’m not the type of individual you need in your loved ones.”

“I’m my household. That’s it. Nobody else talks to me. The scandal my grandfather’s will brought on is very large. They’ll hate me much more if I pull this off. Perhaps you possibly can’t perceive. Perhaps you’ve got a tremendous household, however not all of us do.”

“Haven…” I scratch my scalp whereas I attempt to work this out, however I’m left speechless.

“Would you like extra money?”

“No. I don’t want cash. I wouldn’t settle for a dime.”

“A automobile then? A home? Title your worth.”

I step ahead, putting my fingers on his shoulders. “Haven. I don’t need something from you. It’s simply not one thing I can do. I’m sorry.”

“Why? It’s not prefer it’s endlessly. It’s a enterprise transaction. Please, Raphael. You’re my greatest probability. I’m operating out of time.”

The desperation in his voice tugs at my barely used coronary heart. However the poor soul has no concept what he’s asking me for. How may I preserve what I’m from him on this state of affairs?

“I want time to consider it.” It’s a weak excuse, however it’s all I’ve bought. “Can I’ve twenty-four hours to seek the advice of with my brothers? We don’t make main choices with out discussing them.”

His face lights up. “Actually? You’ll give it some thought? Do you promise you’re not simply blowing me off?”

“I promise.”

Haven nods. “Okay. Twenty-four hours is honest. Would you be capable to give me a experience again to my place?”

“After all.”

We tidy ourselves up and return to the automobile. Haven appears assured once more, like he’s optimistic I’ll say sure, however I don’t see how I may. I’m an murderer and a vampire. I’m protected sufficient for one night time, however I can’t promise any longer than that.

Following his instructions, I drive to a piece of city near the place we do a variety of our ‘cleansing up’ and I tense up. This lovely man lives on this space?

“It’s non permanent,” Haven says as if he can learn my response. “I can’t afford far more, however like I stated, as soon as I get my inheritance, every little thing will likely be totally different.”

“Are you protected right here?”

“Secure sufficient, yeah.” He smiles, however I’m no idiot. I see the priority in his eyes. “Hopefully I can transfer quickly. I can discover us a very nice place. In the event you say sure, I imply.”

Looking his eyes, my ideas wander, imagining a world the place I may preserve such magnificence all to myself. “It is best to give me your quantity.”

Haven nods, lifting my telephone from the console. He sorts his quantity in and sends himself a textual content. “Now I’ve yours too.” He shifts in his seat to face me. “Um, thanks for tonight. I imply, it was superb. You’re unimaginable.”

“I really feel the identical about you.”

“When you have any questions that come up whilst you’re considering, don’t hesitate to ask. I can present you the need in the event you want proof of every little thing I’ll get.”

“I don’t want that, however thanks.”
