Marry me? (A flash marriage story.)

Summary

It’s Saturday morning, and I need to write down this idea before I completely forget it. Ever heard of a flash marriage? The first thing that probably comes to your mind is a man suddenly asking a woman to marry him and—boom—a wedding! But in this case, it’s the other way around. Dave Chu has always been ordinary. A normal baby who grew into a normal adult. He works as a teacher in a public high school and is broke most of the time. Marcy Raymond? Not so much. She’s the daughter of Alex Raymond, a big-name oil tycoon. She’s the textbook definition of third-generation wealthy, but that doesn’t mean her life is perfect. In fact, she’s a big mess. I should also mention: she’s a sadist with a personality disorder. One day, Dave, the “normal guy,” ends up saving Marcy from dying. And instead of the typical “thank you” he expects, she hits him with a proposal: “Will you marry me?” Of course, he says no. But what he doesn’t realize is that he’s dealing with a crazy woman. In this story, he doesn’t have a choice. It’s YES or YES.
