I have been to Brazil four times.
Three of those times had been for business. I had meetings in São Paulo that ran for almost twelve hours. The fourth time had been with Anna, early in our marriage, before we had Serena and in those four visits, I had never once stood in the middle of a carnival and just stared like some fool.

TheodoreI have been to Brazil four times.Three of those times had been for business. I had meetings in São Paulo that ran for almost twelve hours. The fourth time had been with Anna, early in our marriage, before we had Serena and in those four visits, I had never once stood in the middle of a carnival and just stared like some fool.Eliana made it impossible to do anything else.She was twenty feet ahead of me with a paper cup of some drink a vendor had pressed into her hands, turning in a slow circle to look at everything happening. I had gotten her dress from a store and best fucking decision ever. The gold patterned dress draped around her lovely figure, mapping out her curves before flaring out on her hips. There were some gold things on the dress that caught the light and made her look like a fairy.Or a nymph. Definitely a nymph. A happy, giggling litt
ElianaPeople usually think that being in the media meant cameras at red carpets and your name and photo splashed across several articles.They weren't wrong, but not all right either. It was more than that.I woke up at six in the morning to some fifteen missed calls from a number I didn't recognize, opened my front door to find two photographers on my porch, clicking their cameras in my face. One of the articles floating around about the lawsuit with Leslie had used a picture from my university graduation that I still had no idea how they had gotten it and my coworkers were suddenly asking me questions directly.It was exhausting as hell.I sat in the courtroom, brushing my fingers against each other nervously as Leslie's Lawyer debated."Miss Ashcroft had provoked Miss Maxwell to answer, eliciting the dramati
ElianaMaxwell's words rang in my head as I walked into Theodore's office....So you're the reason my daughter's going to prison...I set the folder on Theodore's desk and stood there trying to collect myself while he closed the door behind me. My hands weren't shaking and I was proud of that. They wanted to but I wasn't going to give Maxwell that satisfaction, not even privately, alone in a room with just Theodore watching.He did not scare me. I refused to be scared of him."What did he mean by that?" I turned to face Theodore. "Is Leslie going to prison?"He leaned against the edge of his desk, arms folded across his chest, those blue eyes gazing at me softly. "Because I'm pressing charges."My lips parted in surprise. "Against Leslie?""Yeah,"Oh no. Oh yes? Should I be happy
TheodoreI answered on the third ring."Theodore." Maxwell's voice came through, "I think we need to talk.""Oh, do we now?"He gave a low chuckle. "Come on, don't be like that. We're reasonable men. We can work this out. How soon can we see?""I'll have my secretary contact you with the details.""Theo don't be like that, man," the teasing tone in his voice only had my blood boiling more. He sounded as if he was so sure that I would let Leslie go eventually.I hung up before he could say anything else and stood there on the terrace, phone in hand, staring out at the city below. The sun beat down on the back of my neck, the pool water lapped gently against the tiles....If I didn't know better, I would think you were sleeping with her...The look on her face when she said i
TheodoreThe officers hauled Leslie through the terrace door, her screaming voice finally cutting off as they dragged her out of sight. Silence crashed down on the terrace, broken only by the gentle lapping of pool water and the distant hum of the city below us.My shoulders sagged in relief. Dammit that had been close. I was a hundred percent sure that Leslie had just been about to expose my relationship with Eliana. I could only imagine the frenzy that would throw Serena into.My daughter stood before me, her towel clutched around her, staring at the empty doorway where her friend had just been arrested."Jesus," She let out a long breath, running a hand through her wet hair. "I hadn't realized Leslie was that crazy. Kidnapping someone? Even that's pretty extreme."I gave a grunt. "That's exactly why you need to be more selective with your friends, Seren
Theodore"Sir, we've confirmed Leslie Maxwell's location."The call came through while I was in my car heading to the office."Where?" I demanded, my jaw tightening."Your daughter's residence, sir. It seemed she spent the night there,"My blood boiled in my veins. Leslie with my daughter who had no idea what kind of monster her friend really was."Get a police unit there now." My voice was deadly calm despite the rage that burned through my veins. "I want officers ready to move the moment I give the signal, but no one goes in until I say so.""Understood, sir."I ended the call and immediately dialed Serena's number but it went to voicemail.My chest tightened with worry. Serena was completely unaware that she was spending her afternoon with someone who had kidnapped and tortured an innocent woman.
TheodoreI want to fuck her badly on this desk.The thought slammed into me the moment my eyes landed on Eliana sitting by the table, oblivious to my entrance. Her brows were furrowed, and the deep V on her forehead showed she was deep in thought.
TheodoreI was going crazy. It had been three days since that encounter with Eliana in my office, and I couldn’t get her out of my head. The way she felt under my touch, the taste of her skin, the sound of her moans... it was driving me to the brink of insanity.
THEODORE"Fucking hell."The words rolled off my tongue before I could stop myself as Andrew opened the back door for me. I slid into the car, my cock throbbing so damn hard against my pants I thought it might tear through.&nbs
Eliana"What's the fuss about?"I glanced up from my laptop to find Jake hovering near my door. Outside in the hallway, there were a lot of shuffling feet and people muttering among themselves."Some VIP arri
