Angered by Nick’s apathetic response to his daughter, Candace lets loose a secret she hadn’t meant to spill: she is Jennie’s real mother!
Mrs. Millionaire Short Story Book Series Volume 1 is a collection of fictional stories. Each story focuses on an unlucky family or individual who crosses paths with Mrs. Millionaire. We’ve all met people who have made significant life changes and overcome adversity, but only a few have gone through such a remarkable transformation. With so many stories of hope, encouragement, and life lessons to be learned, it only takes one to make a difference. Wild child. Reckless youth. Unruly. Obstinate. Matilde Jane Parker, or Tilly to her family and friends, is best known for her rebellious personality and reputation as a party girl. She is the daughter of a wealthy industrialist and grew up as an heiress and socialite in an upper-class family. She is intelligent and headstrong, but despises school and everything it stands for, although she performs admirably with little effort. Tilly enjoys causing mischief, and her out-of-control behavior worsens as she gets older. Tilly meets Dusty, the man of her dreams, and learns for the first time in her life what it means to give in and when to walk away from a relationship. Because of this experience, she gains a newfound appreciation for her family. Unfortunately, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, it turned her entire world upside down. Her parents were killed in a car accident. She resents being forced to mature to take over their family business, and she still feels this way after many years. Then, one day, a traumatic event changes her perception of herself. Someone attacked her in the underground parking lot of her building. Thankful for a stranger saving her, it has changed her outlook on life and helped her become a better person. Rather than living her life as a victim, she uses her power and wealth to help those who cannot defend themselves. Tilly finds herself in various situations and occasionally works as an amateur detective who helps people in need solve the problems she is involved in. This story depicts Matilde’s transformation from a troubled adolescent to a philanthropist. Nobody could have predicted that one day she would become a superhero without a mask or costume, assisting the poor, the homeless, and abandoned children.
