I met Jack a year ago when I accidentally spilled my iced latte on his papers at a coffee shop. Instead
of getting mad, he smiled and said, “Guess this is fate telling me to take a break.” We hit it off and started dating.
Jack lived humbly—his studio was tiny, the couch was ancient, and he cooked on a hot plate. But he made
that space feel like home. I fell for him, not the surroundings.
On our one-year anniversary, he surprised me with roses—and a luxury car. “It’s mine,” he admitted nervously.
Then came the twist: Jack was heir to a multi-million-dollar business. The humble lifestyle? A test to see if I loved him, not his wealth.
Then he proposed.
I smiled and said, “Let me drive. If what I show you doesn’t scare you off, my answer will be yes.”
We pulled up to a sprawling estate behind towering iron gates. Jack gawked. “Giselle… what the hell?”
“Welcome to my childhood home,” I said. “Turns out you’re not the only one with secrets.”
He stared at me. “So you were testing me while I was testing you?”
“Looks like it.”
We both laughed—two secret millionaires who fell in love the old-fashioned way.
