She was smart, filthy rich, beautiful and single. In her late forties.

And over and over, she was asked the same question: Why are you still single, Miss Cartland?

Her response stayed the same each time: every man I think is Mr. Right turns out to be with me either for my money, my inheritance or my looks. Not one of them have been with me because of who I am, as a person. Take away my money and my looks, and one would dismiss me as a Plain Jane whom no man would look at twice.

I cannot live like that, knowing that his love is conditional. That he won't love me when I'm old and wrinkled and give away my money to more deserving people.
