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

As she entered the house, she set the keys on the table in the hall and headed for the stairs. When the bell rang, she turned mechanically and grabbed the handle. It wasn't until she opened the door that she remembered that it wouldn't be wise for someone to take a picture of her now, because Theo would surely shake his jaw with nervousness when he saw that picture in the newspaper. But the person standing in front of her door was neither a journalist nor holding a camera. The matter was much worse. That was Vanessa. The woman staring at her was the complete opposite of her. A natural blonde with shiny, lush hair, high cheekbones, blue eyes, long, slender legs over which fluttered an elegant silk skirt, one of those that are not bought in department stores, but only in luxury boutiques. No matter, Theo really has a taste when it comes to women, he has to admit that. "You know who I am." Even in her wildest dreams, Josephine did not expect Vanessa van Buren to appear at her doo

Theo rubbed his face for who knows how many times. Josephine's message upset him deeply. Why didn't she answer his phone? What the hell is Vanessa? What did she say to his wife? He and Josephine have been married for less than a week and he already had to figure out a way to keep his mistresses as far away from her as possible. He hadn't heard from Vanessa since he got married. True, he called her once, but since her maid told him that her mistress would not accept his invitation, he thought that the two of Josephine no longer had anything to talk about. Jacqueline sent him only one short message. Let me know when you freak her out. Why did Josephine use the word poisonous? Something nasty must have happened there. Hell. If he hadn't been prevented from flying all day, he would have boarded a plane and returned to America. But making hasty decisions was not in his style. He planned to return only on Sunday night when he would bring his wife home and send her to Europe. Unless she ne

Somewhere in the background of her mind, Josephine was aware that she was dreaming. She also knew where that dream would take her, so she desperately tried to prevent it. A picture of her room from her childhood flashed through her mind. Then one honest conversation with a good friend. Then she saw her mother warning her to watch what she was saying. And Ana, who stands in the middle of the room in her sports bra and laughs at something their dog Buster did. All these images mixed in her head and caused severe chest pain. Two men in dark suits entered her classroom and took her into the hallway to interrogate her. Only, now they didn't ask her where her father was and what she was doing, but their questions were about Theo. "What he's doing is illegal, Josephine. Thousands of people suffer because of him. ”No! That's not true! She struggled with sleep trying to get her brain to choose some other images. But he rewound the film in advance and her heart almost stopped

Theo's men found cameras in Jose's living room, kitchen, and both bedrooms. They had known about the eavesdropper in the telephone receiver for a long time. After combing everything, they found that her car was clean. But hell! Someone was watching her as she changed, as she slept. Josephine admitted to Theo that on one occasion she might have said to Alice some things by which someone might conclude that their marriage was not real. Those cameras were most likely set up by those guys who pretended to be from the phone company. Or maybe someone sneaked into her house while she was jogging. Later, they mostly talked on their cell phones while Josephine was away from home. But even if they did talk over a landline, nothing could be deduced from their conversation. They only talked about the reception and the people they would meet at it. In fact, they talked as if they had been married for a hundred years, though they barely knew each other. Theo drove her in his limousine toward her

When they reached the bathroom, Theo lowered her to the ground and searched her lips again. As they pushed into the cramped space, Josephine slammed her back into a cheap bathroom cabinet. Theo picked her up and made her sit next to the sink, keeping his lips on hers all the time. He spread her legs and got stuck between Josephine, and she moved as close to him as she could, clinging tightly to his body. A part of her brain registered the sound of the door closing, but despite that, her lips did not want to separate from his. Here they were completely alone, without cameras and the views that followed Josephine. Theo's warm, juicy lips moved from hers and ended up on the skin of her temple, but his arms were still tightly wrapped around her body. They were both slowly returning to reality and trying to recover. She shouldn't feel so comfortable in his arms. How can she resist him and stay away from his bed if they continue to play with fire like this? Josephine started to get out of

A classic story about mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. ”Theo shifted in his chair and looked at his wife. "It doesn't have to be. She knew that moment would come sooner or later. As soon as my father's lawyers opened his will, I'm sure my mother knew very well that I would do whatever it took to secure my inheritance. " " What kind of relationship are you with your mother? " " They're not bad. " " That doesn't sound right to me. great. Theo's gaze froze. He and his mother used to be very close. As long as their common goal was to hate his father, "You don't have to worry about her." Josephine thought for a moment to come to a very logical conclusion after a few moments. "But there's someone I should be worried about, isn't there?" He wanted to agree with her, but he couldn't. He had to be honest with her because he didn't want their life together to start with lies. "That. My close cousin. He's one of the main suspects for setting

"It's beautiful here." Alice spun around Theo's spacious living room. "I can't believe you didn't come to live here right after the wedding." "We thought that was wrong." What has changed in the meantime? ”Said Alice, sitting on the soft couch and crossing her legs. Josephine addressed her in a low voice, despite the fact that the cook was busy preparing lunch, and the maid upstairs was busy with who knows what. Theo had to stay in the office to finish some work, so Josephine remained pretty lazy. "I guess it will be much more comfortable for us here than in Tarzan. If for no other reason than security. ” “ Yes, you're right. It's just that Neil really looks scary to me. ”Alice met him as she parked the car in front of Theo's mansion. "He's pretty quiet." "He's not silent, he's dumb. He didn't say a word to me, he just stared like a calf at the colorful door. ” “ Theo told me the guy wasn't dangerous as long as you didn't get o

When he called her at half-past five to tell her he would be late, she sounded disappointed. It was her disappointment that prompted him to hurry and get home as soon as possible to spend at least a little time with her before she retired to her chambers. He was burning with the desire to talk to her and meet her. He didn't want to play with Josephine. Her openness, honesty, and inexperience were a real refreshment for him. The picture from her bathroom kept rolling over his head as she took off her T-shirt and jeans in front of him. Every day he longed for her more and more and he couldn't wait for the day when she would come to his bed, longing for his touch. Although he promised her that he would give her time to think about his offer, that did not mean that he would not try to seduce her and get what he wanted. Hell, she wanted him too, he felt it. He saw it in her looks and the unconscious movements he noticed in the moments when she thought no one was looking at
