"Money's not an issue. My family has enough of it. I could help you pay off your debts." Marcus said, expecting money to come up. "Why wouldn't I want you?" He said, kissing the top of Laelia's head. In truth he wasn't entirely sure why he had made her the offer. There were hundreds of girls just like her in Rome and his Father would never approve anyway, but he still couldn't shake his feelings towards Laelia. Everything with her had felt so right, like they were meant to have been together.
