Older Millionaire Dresses as Homeless to Test Young Fiancée He Rescued from the Streets — Story of the Day
On the one hand, Mike wanted to spend the rest of his days with the woman he had fallen in love with; but on the other, he didn’t want to be betrayed for his wealth again. Mike decided to put the woman’s intentions to a rather dramatic test.
It was 2 a.m., and Mike lay awake in bed, thinking of the beautiful woman who was asleep in the room next to his.
A part of him wanted to go to her, confess how madly he was in love with her, too, and kiss her like he had wanted to for the past several weeks.
