Epilogue
It took Eric five years to find her. Five years to find her and two months to finally seduce her. Laura Underwood was a very guarded woman. In her defense, she had to be. Eric was all too aware that she knew why he was here. Why a 21 year-old was slowly making love to a 59-year-old woman. Money.
Laura and her husband started an online retail store when they were younger. To be fair, he was the driving force behind the business that grew into a giant. Being that they came from nothing there was no prenuptial agreement. When she found out that he had been having an affair with a 25-year-old she divorced him and took half. In one move, they went from being in the top five of wealth to her being the richest woman in America. Eric had no doubt it took no time at all for her suitors to start gathering. Her final words to him before she finally gave into his seduction was “If my husband can trade in for a newer model why can’t I?”
The chase had been very hard for Eric. He had pulled out every trick he had learned over the last five years to finally get where he was today. She was worth it ... or at least Eric hoped she would be. Eric has met a lot of good people and a lot of rich people but very rarely were they the same person. Laura was the exception to this rule.
Not content to sit back and spend their enormous wealth on luxury she championed hundreds of charities. Everything battered women shelters to food drives for the homeless. She could’ve easily just sat back and thrown money at the problem, but that was always her last resort. She did throw a vast amount of wealth around, but she was also always on the front lines. She spoke to women directly and helped get them and their children counseling sessions. She personally distributed food and blankets to the homeless. Once her divorce was complete instead of withdrawing in humiliation, she actually doubled down on her charity work.
This is how Eric first heard of her. He and Sarah still had plenty of money and wouldn’t be in need anytime soon, but this opportunity seemed too good to pass up. When he was finally able to lay his eyes on her for the first time, he became even more thrilled. He and Sarah both believed she would be perfect for their next companion. Not only was she a good person, but they wouldn’t ever have to worry about money again. So Eric and Sarah, who now looked the same age as him, slowly started to work on her.
