Fisher Corporation.
CEO's Office.
"Mr. Fisher, these documents need your signature." John, the assistant, set a
stack of papers on Joshua's desk.
"Just leave them there," Joshua said, not even glancing up from his phone.
"Yes, Mr. Fisher." John placed the files down and quietly slipped out.
Joshua kept scrolling through his phone, checking his schedule, but then the date
caught his eye.
May 10th already.
Just ten days until May 20th—520. The unofficial day to say "I love you." He
needed to get Allie something special.
They weren't together yet. He was still the one running after her, but occasions
like this were his chance to show he cared. He wasn't going to let it slip by.
He opened his contacts and dialed the son of a luxury brand's CEO, asking if
there were any new limited-edition handbags dropping soon.
On the other end, his friend laughed and teased him in French, "Trying to impress
a girl?"
Joshua replied, his French perfect, "Of course. For my future wife."
"It's Allie, isn't it? Did you two finally get back together?" Everyone in their circle
knew who Joshua's heart belonged to—Allison.

"I'll check with our manager."
Normally, his friend wouldn't bother with details like upcoming product launches.
"Thanks," Joshua said quietly.
"Con, no need to be polite with me."
A few minutes later, his friend called back. Sure enough, they were about to
release a global limited-edition handbag, three colors, and sent Joshua the
photos.
Joshua looked over each one carefully. The design was stunning—black, white,
and brown, all matte crocodile leather, each going for a cool $150,000.
All three colors were classic and versatile. Allie would love them.
"I'll take one of each," Joshua said.
His friend laughed. "Don't worry about paying—consider them a gift from me.
Hope you and Allie get back together soon."
"That's not happening. If I'm giving her a gift, it has to be from me."
As soon as the call ended, Joshua opened his bankingand wired $450,000
over.

Meanwhile, Kate had convinced a notorious rich playboy to help her leave the
country.
But he had conditions: she'd have to spend a night with him.
Kate's face went stiff. She'd just had
an abortion barely a month ago and
still wasn't supposed to be having
sex—her doctor said at least three
months, six if she wanted to get
pregnant safely again. Any earlier,
and she could seriously hurt herself.
But if she waited, her appeal would be over, and she'd be stuck. She'd have no
way out.
After a long struggle, Kate finally agreed.
The next morning, after a night that
left her covered in his marks, Kate
nestled into his arms and tried to
sound sweet. "Wilson, when are you
sendingabroad?"
He'd really gone wild last night—she was sore all over.

Once the court issued a verdict, she'd be forced into community service, and if
she screwed up, she'd end up in jail.
