       Arion reached into his desk and slid across a small black triangular piece of gleaming plastic.

      There were no markings on it. It might have been one of those if-you-had-to-apply-for-it-you-couldn’t-afford-it credit cards reserved for multibillionaires. She’d read about them in a magazine once. Or it might have been a loyalty card for die-hard coffee addicts. Perla had no way of telling.

      She looked from the card to Arion’s face. ‘What’s that for?’ she asked suspiciously.

      ‘That card lets you into that lift. The lift will take you straight to my penthouse. You’ll wait for me there—’

      ‘No.’ Perla stopped what was coming before he could finish.

      His nostrils flared. ‘Excuse me?’

      ‘I won’t do … whatever it is you have in mind. I know what you think of me, but you’re wrong. What happened between us that night wasn’t cheap and it wasn’t tawdry. Not for me at least. And I despise you for thinking I’d stoop that low to get you to help me—’

      ‘Be quiet for one second and listen.’

      The rough command in his voice dried her words.

      ‘You have nowhere to stay. I have a meeting in … exactly eight minutes—which will last for five hours. Minimum. Unless you intend to wander the streets in the rain until I’m finished, my offer is the best you’re going to get.’

      Surprise stamped through her. ‘Oh, you mean you want me to go up and just … wait for you?’ she asked.

      ‘Why, Mrs Lowell, you sound disappointed …’

      CHAPTER ONE

      THE CAR PARK was as quiet as she’d hoped it would be. Inside her trusted Mini’s soothing cocoon, Perla Lowell bit the tip of her pen and searched fruitlessly for the right words.

      Four lines. Four paltry lines in two hours were all she’d managed to come up with. She swallowed her despair. Three short days from now she’d have to stand up in front of friends and family and make a speech...

      And she had no words.

      No, scratch that. She had words. But none rang true. Because the truth... No, she couldn’t...wouldn’t subject anyone to the truth. Her whole life for the past three years had been a colossal lie. Was it any wonder her hands shook every time she tried to write? That her heart pounded with self-loathing for the lies she had to perpetuate for the sake of appearances?
