I’m a trophy husband and I feel like I’m in a dream.
I’ve been modelling for years and had moved into management when I met my wife Lilly. I was managing the models for a high-end fashion show and we met backstage after the show. She was tall and was wearing a nice dress, so she stood out. I spoke to her and we liked each other. She was a nice but assertive and sophisticated person.
We went on a few dates after that and she invited me to her home. I knew she was rich but I was shocked when I saw her home – it was massive. I understood the scale of her wealth after that. Lilly worked at her parents’ business. We kept seeing each other for a few more months.
Lilly told me that she married a guy she liked in college, but he started gambling and sleeping around, so she divorced him. She told me stopped looking for partners after that.
One day when we were at her home, she told me she was getting old and that she wanted a husband she could show-off at events. She asked me if I wanted to be that person. I was caught off guard. She told me that I would get access to a lot of money and I could do whatever I wanted as long as it didn’t affect their reputation and I had to keep my body looking good.
I grew up in a middle class home and never had any money problems in my life. I had a good job but the prospect of having a lot of money without doing anything was too good. Lilly was a nice person and I liked her well enough, so the prospect of spending my life with her didn’t seem bad. I accepted her proposal and stuff moved quickly after that. Her parents liked me and we were married in a couple of months. This was four years ago.
I moved into her mansion and bought everything I ever wanted. But spending money got boring after a few months. I got bored doing nothing all day, so I took over cooking. I learnt different cuisines from our chef and occupied most of my days with that. Lilly and I became great friends. She used to tell me about her day and I learnt about the business from her. She’d take me to her events and parties and they were fun.
Covid hit and Lilly started spending a lot of time with at home with me. We slowly fell in love. It’s always funny to me that we fell in love after we got married. We are almost inseparable now. I spend most of my day cooking exotic stuff for her and she keeps buying expensive gifts for me and keeps taking us on vacations. We learnt that she’s pregnant recently.
I never thought I’d ever even see or experience even a quarter of the things I did in the last few years and I keep feeling weird about it – like my life is some dream.
