At the last medical examination, two days before the trip, together they saw the outlines of their unborn child on the screen of the ultrasound machine and listened to the beating of his tiny heart. Josephine's eyes filled with tears, and his throat tightened with excitement. It was a feeling that could not be compared to anything he had felt before. In fact, it was, Theo thought. His gaze wandered to Josephine, who stood surrounded by his relatives. His heart suddenly filled with pleasant warmth and some invisible force pushed him towards her. The moment he hugged her, he experienced enlightenment: his love for the unborn child mingled with another strong feeling. Love for Josephine. Instead of running away from those potentially dangerous feelings, Theo happily embraced them, as if they were the best possible hand in poker.

At first, she thought she should just pack up and leave him speechless, but it wasn't in her style to run away like a coward and throw in his face everything she had to say. Besides, she couldn't leave without hearing his side. "When did you mean to tell me?" She said as soon as he stepped into the room, which was so tense at the time that it was like a minefield, not an ordinary room. "What can I tell you?" "You spent the whole day with a lawyer. You must have talked about your father's will. Theo didn't move. Josephine slowly turned her head towards him, but only after a few moments of hesitation did she look up and direct it at his face.

"Leo, my friend, you need to do something for me."

But despite the fact that her departure hurt him like a living wound, he could not appear before Josephine until he took revenge on Vanessa for what she had done.

"I need a wife, Leo, I need it urgently."Sitting in the back seat of his luxury limousine on the way to Starbucks, as if it were the only place people could meet, Theo Smith looked at his watch. He was annoyed by Leo's mocking smile. "Then just pick one and take it to the altar," he told Jose. This spontaneously uttered advice from his best friend would certainly make sense if Theo trusted the women he was seeing. Unfortunately, it is not."So I risk losing everything?" You know me well enough to know that I will never let my emotions disturb me in something as important as a marriage contract.”That is exactly what he needed. An ordinary contract. A one-year business agreement in which both parties win. And then everyone goes their own way and they never have to see each other again.

She stared straight at Josephine. Her penetrating gaze briefly turned to the screen of the small laptop in front of her, and immediately returned to it. An expression of recognition flickered on her face. He had seen such expressions before; people made Jose every time they associated his name with a photograph. Admittedly, here in California, it happened much less often than in his native England, but Theo still recognized that expression on her face. It seemed pretty harmless. It seemed so to Josephine until she spoke and addressed Josephine directly. "You're late." One word. He only needed to say that one word in that deep, velvety voice of his that would embarrass any hotline girl, so Theo was left speechless. His brain finally worked."Excuse me?""You're Mr. Smith, aren't you?" The question was simple, but it took Josephine an eternity to register and understand. He answered her automatically, completely stunned by her appearance."I did." She got up from

"Thank God. Finally, ”she whispered into her chin. The irresistible duke was her ticket to the world of the rich. Ever since she founded the Alliance agency, she has dreamed of wealthy clients like Theo Smith knocking on her door - millionaires who needed a woman to make their greatest wishes come true. She mostly found women for men who did not have time to court, or simply did not want to go through a long process of dating and falling in love. They did not need love, but the company. Some needed a woman just to get her mistress out of the door, who insisted on putting a wedding ring on her arm.

A great New York businessman deceived thousands of users by dragging Jose into the famous pyramid scam. He sold insurance policies for houses, land, business, and property to naive victims, to whom he later did not pay a single cent. If his memory serves Josephine well, Theo recalled that the feds tried to bring Josephine to justice, but they failed to convict Josephine of fraud and bribery, but only of tax evasion. Harris' accounts and assets were frozen, and his family fell apart.

She started to answer Josephine, but immediately closed her mouth. "Shower." He smiled at her. "I was free to order wine. I hope you don't mind. ”He let her pass Josephine and waited for her to settle in the booths, and only then did he reach for the ice bucket behind his back. Josephine watched Josephine as he poured her golden-yellow liquid into an elegant crystal glass, concentrating on staring at Josephine. "Are we celebrating something?" "Maybe," he said and poured the wine into his glass. She wanted to immediately ask Josephine which candidate he had chosen but still refrained. Of course, he hadn't decided, since he hadn't met any of Jose yet. Theo raised his glass and waited for her to do the Josephine. "Toast to our successful business rela
