“I know you have options."
"And those options will be taken away the second I marry. I will be beholden to my husband."
"But you will be wealthy."

"Excuse me?"
" That's what I'd be trading. Sex for money."
"That's not-"
"Isn't it?" I ask, cutting him off. "Men need heirs to pass on their titles. That's why they take wives. Else they'd be content with mistresses forever. A wife is but an object, a vessel for his progeny.”
