Mrs. Millionaire and the Runaway Kids: 4, #1

By Marissa Marchan

Mrs. Millionaire is a series of fictional stories with heartwarming endings. Each story revolves around an unfortunate individual or family who crosses paths with Tilly. She helps them out of financial problems or situations and gives them a new lease on life. Mrs. Millionaire is a symbol of hope, generosity, and kindness. This book emphasizes the notion that everyone deserves a second chance.

 

Following his wife's death, Dexter Curtis accepts a position at a textile company. He moves to Connecticut, determined to provide a better life for his four children. The family settled into their new surroundings and made friends with their neighbors.

 

However, a colleague at Dexter's job is cruel and jealous of him. His badmouthing of Dexter behind his back and questioning his authority and decision-making made Dexter look unprofessional in front of his co-workers.

 

Dexter's reputation was further damaged when a job order mysteriously disappeared from his computer, resulting in his termination. He becomes depressed when he cannot find work and turns to alcohol for relief. A tragic accident left him unconscious, and he fell into a coma. Child Protective Services placed his children in a temporary shelter until they could make other arrangements for them. Upon learning about their impending separation, the children stow away in a van and run away to stay together.

 

It is an emotionally charged story that centers on Dexter and his children, who face a dilemma: Is there a chance for reconciliation and reunification for the family? What will happen to the siblings?

She took a long time to cope with grief and loss. She thought it was the end of the world for her. Ray Angelo gave her the strength and courage to move forward. He pulled her through the most trying moment in her life.  He gave her love and inspiration. He gave her confidence and the power to survive during those years when she was lost and afraid. Then she turned into writing, and she finally put her imagination into words. Writing not only helped her heal, it gave her an anchor. It helped her to let go.  Since then, she is excited to pursue her writing career and has written two books in the Spoiled Brats Book Series: Forbidden Love and Runaway Romance.

Dear friends,

∞

A dream I had about my mother inspired Mrs. Millionaire. I wrote every detail as soon as I woke up. I developed my characters using the emotions I felt in the dream. It was amazing to see how the story came together. This is how the Mrs. Millionaire series was born.

The story revolves around a wealthy young woman who, after experiencing a tragic event, undergoes remarkable personal growth. She recognizes that money, when used responsibly, spreads kindness and generosity. She believes that by giving a million dollars to someone who deserves it, she can make a significant impact on their lives. This book takes its readers on a journey that instills hope and encouragement. It highlights the concept that even when faced with adversity, there is always that one person who can bring about positive change in your life.

Tilly’s character is based on my mom, Matilde. Using my father’s real name, Vedasto, I modeled Dusty after him. I hope readers can learn valuable lessons from the story and find the courage to pursue their passions. I have enjoyed writing about Tilly’s adventure, which has fostered a profound sense of connection with my parents, who have passed away.

All the best,

Marissa

INTRODUCTION

Many of us have encountered individuals who have made significant life changes and overcome adversity. However, only a few people have experienced such a remarkable transformation. In Mrs. Millionaire and the Homeless Woman, the first book in the Mrs. Millionaire series, a single act of kindness triggers a chain reaction that leads to several positive actions. The book encourages people to help others and embrace a purposeful life, changing many lives along the way.

Wild child. Reckless youth. Unruly. Obstinate.

Matilde Jane Parker, or Tilly to her friends and family, is best known for her rebellious personality and reputation as a party girl. An heiress and socialite from an upper-class family, she is the daughter of a wealthy industrialist. Tilly, despite being intelligent and headstrong, despises school and everything it represents, even though she excels effortlessly. She enjoys making mischief, and as she grows, her out-of-control behavior worsens.

Tilly meets Dusty, the man of her dreams. She learns for the first time when to give in and walk away from a relationship. This experience has made her appreciate her parents more than ever before. Tilly recognizes the value of having a loving family and considers herself fortunate. She is determined to make the most of every moment with them, live each day to the fullest, and prioritize the people she loves.

Sadly, it was too late. It turned Tilly’s entire world upside down in the blink of an eye. An automobile accident claimed her parents’ lives. It left her feeling helpless and isolated. Thanks to Dusty, she found solace in his unwavering support and unconditional love. He helped her heal and regain her self-confidence.

Another traumatic event altered Tilly’s self-perception. Someone attacked her in her building’s underground parking lot. Tilly experiences a profound shift in her perspective on life after being rescued and given a second chance by a homeless woman. Rather than living as a victim, Tilly uses her wealth and power to help those who cannot defend themselves. She finds herself in various situations and sometimes works as an amateur detective, helping
