Chapter Four

Anna

It was all for a good cause. That’s what I had to tell myself.

All I had to do was get home, and this man whether he knew it or not was going to help me do just that.

It had happened so fast. I’d clicked on the site and once I’d gotten over my apprehension and stopped looking over my shoulder in case someone caught me, I started to navigate around.

There were wanted ads from men all around the world as well as women offering to be their brides. I skirted away from the latter to begin with and clicked on the wanted section. Almost immediately I was drawn to one ad in particular, the latest post. A man located in the same state where Gran was, only twenty minutes away. It seemed too good to be true. But the more I read his bio and request, the more I knew this was my one true shot to get home.

It also helped that his photo was intriguing. A candid photo of a tall man in a suit, caught off guard and a little put out if his expression was anything to go by, but still, his eyes shone at the camera. There was a light behind them, a hidden kindness. The photo came across as a real representation of him. So much so I found myself staring at the screen wanting to know more.

And so I took the plunge, clicked again. And now I was on a plane back home. I almost couldn’t believe it.

With the help of Sofia—who had caught me looking at the site—she offered to take my picture with her phone. After that it was a breeze; I’d managed to upload my photo and created my profile. But only so I could talk to this one man who needed a bride.

I partly felt sorry for him, the man who I now knew to be named Sebastian. Why would such a good looking guy, with gorgeous eyes, need to find a woman on the other side of the world? Surely America hadn’t run out of sassy, eligible women yet?

“There has to be something wrong with him,” I said as Sofia and I read over his profile and request again. It was a simple advert, direct and forthright, barely a paragraph long.

“Maybe he’s unlucky in love?” Sofia replied.

I shrugged, not yet convinced. Sebastian and I had emailed back and forth a couple of times within the space of a few hours, getting the lay of the land. He was an executive at a large commercial real estate firm, who didn’t have to time date and was tired of the whole process. He just wanted someone to share his life and home with. And though I felt shallow at the thought, he was also offering a weekly allowance, and a place to stay in a high-end apartment, all in exchange for companionship. Though I did suspect there was more to the story than he first presented. Especially because he was on a short deadline, much like myself.
