2024-10-29 19:42:56As 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

The weight of Theo's body pressed against the couch. They were both breathing intermittently as if they had just run a marathon. She stretched her leg and ran her toes over the back of his thigh. She couldn't stop smiling. Even as his tremors of pleasure turned into slight twitches, she still held him close. This was more than a great experience. Moreover, she will be able to enjoy his beautiful body and exceptional sexual skills all year round. The thought of the end and parting made her a little upset, but she quickly dismissed the bad thoughts and took a deep breath of the scent of the man who was still deep inside her. "This was ..." "Fantastic, he finished for her." Was it really as nice to him as it was to her? He had many wives, while she could count her connections on the fingers of one hand and again three fingers would be left without a name. Maybe he kept a record and wrote down what it was like in bed. She wanted to ask him but gave up for fear of a negat

The first night she returned to California, Josephine slept on an extra bed by Ana's bed. She screwed up.

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?"
