by Christina C. Jones

I bought it through a shell company, and for a steal at that, with the change in my cupholder.”

hostile takeovers

Ahhh the book title. Cute

The entire room went quiet and still, reacting to the fact that I’d just smacked Orion Sterling dead across his fucking mouth.

Shouldn't you be slapping your dad???

Orion met my gaze, no hesitation, unwavering. “You become my wife and I make sure Nectar never dies.”

They always need a wife. But I volunteer as tribute

“Just because this marriage might be convenient, you need to understand something right now; it ain’t fake. I’m gonna parade you in public, fuck you in private, and otherwise ignore you, just like most wealthy marriages.”

Oop

“Um… a method actor?” I stammered, not knowing what else to do.

Girllll why would you answer him???

“Okay, I hear you, but… on the bright side,” Alexis started, “Can we appreciate for a moment that this Black man loves and wants his Black woman’s natural hair? Bare minimum award,

Period!!!

I wasn't intimidated though.

Period you aint no punk

As much as plenty of women might—rightfully and understandably—dream of being “retired” from work, Alexis wasn’t built like that; it was a trait all three of us had in common.

“Is something wrong?” “If there was, I would’ve fixed it before I ever brought it to you,” I assured her.

A MANNNNNN
