2 " Stupid rich man with too much money. Most guys buy a yacht or a fucking island. My guy buys dumb shoes to watch me walk around like a baby deer on ice. My guy? New fury courses through me. "
3 " Keep looking at my dick like you want to know it on a first-name basis, Cinderelliott, and I’m going to make you give it a proper greeting. One where you bow on your knees and kiss the crown "
4 " But for Manda, he wanted to level up to her. Be someone he’s not. Attend fancy functions and shower her with gifts. "

But then I hear a crackle. Small. Insignificant. But, oh-so-wrong. Pausing, I lift my foot. Nothing. I drop my foot and take another step. Crackle. A flare of fury rises inside me like a volcano, angrily erupting. Lifting my foot once more, I grab my ankle and twist to see what’s on the bottom of my shoe. "
