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.

"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

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

Thinking of Vanessa, blood rushed to his head. What he currently felt for his ex-lover overcame even the hatred he had nurtured for years for his insensitive, cruel father. At the moment, all he had in mind was to get revenge on her properly. Theo picked up the phone and called several people he had asked for a favor. Leo had a lot of friends in the New York police. "Leo, my friend, you need to do something for me." Twenty-four hours later, Theo stood in front of a luxury building in Manhattan, his fingers intertwined so tightly that even Josephine would envy him. It was hard for him not to follow her. 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. He smelled her sweet floral perfume before he saw her. His heart was beating faster, but not because he felt something for her, but out of pure hatred. If she so vilely ruined his life with Josephine, then he

When he entered the apartment, Josephine noticed his confusion out of the corner of her eye. "Josephine?" She spent the afternoon thinking about what to say to him. 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. Just then she noticed how his eyes flashed when he saw the glass in her hand. Even now he cared more about the child than he did about her. That's why

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. Since he had enough time to read Josephine's feelings for him, he had no reason to bluff and hide his own. After all, as in the cards, so in life, Theo n

Morning sickness worsened instead of getting better. Well, that was a hassle! Theo, the actor as he was, agreed that her morning "discomfort" was a hassle, but he promised to help her until she got better. They agreed not to tell anyone about the pregnancy, at least not until the first three months have passed, due to the possibility of complications and abortion. Although the doctor assured them after six weeks that everything was going well and that they had no reason to worry, they still decided to wait for the good news to be revealed. Josephine didn't say anything even to Alice, which wasn't easy. However, she thought it was so much better than her best friend didn’t accidentally fail to mention it to someone. As promised, Theo was really there for her. Of course, there were situations when he had to travel to Europe, no longer than three days, which was a hassle for Josephine, but luck was three times greater when he returned. Days of living together followed. The nights, too,

Josephine knew that she could give up the child or have an abortion, which was certainly a worse solution for her health. After all, they are both adults, not teenagers who have been hit by something they are not up to. He will talk and make a reasonable decision. When she got out of the tub, the severe headache eased a little and turned into a slight tingling in the back of her head. She refreshed her face with a little moisturizer and soaked the gel below her eyes, and she already felt much better. When she came out of the bathroom in a soft, white robe, she thought Theo was still asleep. But he had been awake for a long time. He was standing next to the tray he had brought from the kitchen, still in the crumpled clothes in which he had lain down last night. In addition to the freshly squeezed orange juice, several plates were lined up on a tray; on one were salty crackers, on the other soft cheese, and on the third hard-boiled eggs. "What's this supposed to mean?" Theo gr

He needs to talk to Josephine tonight, Theo thought. He can't hide the secret about his father's will from her forever. After all, they vowed to be honest with each other. In fact, Josephine's fairness and incorruptibility made him a better man. Jeff's suggestion that he forced her to become pregnant seemed completely inappropriate to him. Could it fall on such low branches? Maybe he could if it was someone else. But, except for Josephine, there were not many in the world who had a good opinion of him. That's why they didn't want to spoil it. Her trust was the only thing he genuinely cared about. When he entered his villa in Malibu, it was about six in the afternoon. The first thing he heard upon entering the house was Merino chattering around the kitchen. "I hope you've made enough food for two," he called to her from the kitchen door. "Oh, you've arrived. Thank goodness. I was already thinking of calling you. ” “ Call me? Why? Is something wrong? ”He

Theo's stay in New York lasted until Wednesday, which would have made it much harder for Josephine to feel better. She took advantage of his absence and scheduled an examination with her longtime friend and the doctor she went to and prescribed some reliable form of contraception. As she sat at the examination table in the hospital nightgown, Josephine wrapped her arms around herself to warm herself in the cool room. Due to her concern for her sister and the fear that her fake marriage would be broken, she often could not sleep at night, her appetite was getting worse and she was getting tired faster than before. Before entering the office, Dr. Luna knocked softly on the door. She was a middle-aged woman who had taken care of Josephine's health since her teenage days. She was the one who prescribed her every antibiotic she took in her life, and she held her hand after her mother's death. "Finally to see you here. I just recently wondered where you were and what you were doin

Upon returning to America, Josephine immediately rushed to the moon to visit Ana. She was tormented by a pang of conscience because she enjoyed Gwen's company in Europe and spent time with her husband, while her sister lay helpless here. As she stepped into her room, she found her sitting in a wheelchair with her gaze directed out the window. Her blonde hair was gathered with a plain rubber band, and her pink T-shirt was stained with food. "Hello, darling," Josephine greeted her as she approached. Ana only briefly parted her lips in a smile, since after the stroke she could not smile otherwise. Her eyes lit up slightly when she saw her sister. She raised a healthy hand and wrapped it around Josephine's neck. "N ... I missed you ... we," Ana stammered. "And you to me." Although she actually missed only one visit, Josephine knew that her sister's absence had lasted like an eternity. There wasn’t much that would get her younger sister out of bed. "Did you eat anything?"
