Chapter 32
The first night she returned to California, Josephine slept on an extra bed by Ana's bed. She screwed up. She would have the money to take care of her sister, and she ended up with a new responsibility. An innocent child will be born, the fruit of a selfish, dominant father and a selfish mother.
The first night she returned to California, Josephine slept on an extra bed by Ana's bed. She screwed up. She would have the money to take care of her sister, and she ended up with a new responsibility. An innocent child will be born, the fruit of a selfish, dominant father and a selfish mother.
What a horrible date! And all that for what? Josephine could somehow manage, she could provide funds for Ana's care even without Theo's millions. But it was much easier for her to accept his offer and make her life more carefree. Alice kicked the guy out of her apartment after she found him rummaging through the files of new clients with whom she had signed a contract for the Alliance

"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. "Any of the women you see would be overjoyed to sign that prenuptial agreement with you." Theo considered such a possibility. But he had worked hard on his reputation as a h

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

As soon as she was sure he couldn't see her anymore, Josephine got behind the wheel. her car and spread her lips in the widest possible smile, and then happily shifted in the soft, leather seat, imitating the movements of the victory dance. "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. So far, with her dedicated work, she has gained many recommendations and built a business that brought her a stable income, but only enough to

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. "His wife, Martha, couldn't stand the downfall and the humiliation, so she drank a full bottle of sleeping pills and a pint of gin, after which she didn't wake up." "According to the press, Josephine's younger sister Ana tried to commit suicide like her mother, but she did not succeed, but ended up with brain damage. I'm still working to determine where the girl is located. Josephine survived all that hell, but she had to leave her studies and start life from the beginning. She probably managed t

When their eyes crossed, a pleasant heat flowed down her spine. "You're late," he told her in a provocative tone, alluding to what she had first told Josephine during their previous meeting. 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

After the plane reached a certain altitude, the pilot told Josephine that they could untie their seat belts and that the flight to Las Vegas would take just under an hour. Since boarding, Josephine had barely spoken. Since she agreed to be his wife for a year, Theo more or less organized a wedding in the chapel in the City of Sin. He believed that the seemingly romantic wedding in the chapel in Vegas would seem much more legal to his father's lawyers than the one in the town hall. Theo unbuckled his belt and got up from his seat. He went to the bar of his private jet and took a bottle of champagne out of an ice bucket. As he opened it, he glanced at his newlywed fiancée. She looked thoughtfully out the window with her fingers tightly intertwined in her lap. Strangely, he is the one who puts everything at stake by marriage, but she is the one who got nervous. "Maybe this will relax you a little," he said, handing her a tall glass of champagne. "Is it so obvious I'm ne

There, they both signed a marriage document, and thus officially became husband and wife. Before coming here, Theo didn't think much about what their first wedding night would look like, but he certainly didn't think it would go the way it did. He booked a youth suite in a luxury hotel, where he spent the night on the couch in the living room, while his bride wandered around the bedroom until the early hours of the morning. That kiss of theirs honestly shook him. It is true that he was acted out and performed only to satisfy his form, but since they left the chapel, Theo has not thought about anything other than that he wants to repeat that show. Judging by the gleam in Jose's eyes, her flushed cheeks, and her persistent refusal to look him in the eye, he concluded that the kiss aroused her as much as it did him. Hell, you shouldn't be so mad at her. An emergency woman. A woman who likes to enjoy making unsalted jokes at the expense of his playboy endeavors and cheap ent
The CEO's wife Chapter 8
Twenty-six hours after uttering the fateful "yes," Josephine and Theo got off his private plane and faced an onslaught of reporters. Luckily, she remembered to wear big sunglasses and hide the concern on her face. The media has not changed at all since her father's arrest. The others are equally overbearing, boring, and curious. Theo protectively wrapped his arms around her waist and led her to the exit of the airport. It would be great if some Hollywood star made a scandal so that the media's attention was diverted to her, Josephine thought. Otherwise, she will have to fight the paparazzi on her own. As they passed a column of reporters, Theo answered their questions briefly, uttering phrases like the love of my life, it knocked me off my feet, I fell head over heels in love and the like. He sounded so sincere that she would have believed him if she hadn't been into this scam. At one point, he brushed her ear with his lips and whispered, "It's going to be worse in Europe, so wake u
