“I’ve made a decision. I want to go live simply in a village. I want to meet a man who loves me for who I am, not for my money.”
“What madness! You should marry a rich, respected man.”
“No, Mother, I don’t want that. I want to choose my own path.”
Marie was a very beautiful woman, very rich, but she had no husband. She came from a very prestigious family in the city. Most of the men who gathered around her did so for her money. Always for her money.
But Marie wanted none of those men.
Her parents had proposed several rich, respected men for her to marry, but she had always refused.
Marie told herself that she wanted a simple man, a man who was not too rich, a respectful man, a man who would truly love her for who she was and not for her money.
One day, Marie spoke with her mother.
“Mother, I’ve made a decision,” she said calmly.
