Lucia Ramirez, a 23 year old PA to a multimillionaire couple, finds love in the strangest of situations when she happens across Hadyn 'Terra' Taylor, 30, a fearsome kingpin with an edge and a name for himself.
Can she handle him, and can he love aga...
".... So how is he going to get out of it this time?"
"Dolores, I have no idea, your husband is a law unto himself... He's also in trouble, because he got himself involved with a couple of high-end prostitutes while he was there...
Of course he did " she rolled her eyes. "Everything I hear about him just gets better and better.." she sniggered and stood up and looked out of the window, looking over the city in her office that stood 24 floors up. She folded her arms, looking at the cars down below, so tiny, with no noise from the traffic. In fact there was absolutely no noise at all in this office, right now, apart from the deep breathing of Mr West, who was her husband's lawyer. He was a paunchy overweight balding man, drank a lot, smoked too, which exacerbated his deep breathing.

"if I may say something, Dolores...
She turned and looked at him. "please, go on"
"You and your husband need to talk about your very open relationship... I don't think he's down with it, as much as you seem to think he is... and that is reflected in the way that he acts...
She frowned and laughed. "oh Joseph, please... Of course he is, he loves it... Leaford is not a man he's a mouse... He absolutely gets off and watching another man deal with his wife. While, he cowers in the corner, like a bitch...
"But then he goes off to foreign countries and sleeps with other women... Where he is fully in control of the situation. Surely you can see that your situation is what's making him do this.."
"Joseph, you know absolutely nothing about this... and I don't want to have to talk about this with you... If he has an issue with it then he needs to bring that to me instead of getting himself locked up in every other fucking country, but this one.... When you speak to him next, you make sure he knows that I'm not gonna stand here and run this business for him while he carries on playing games out there..." She sighed. "I do not need this headache, and that is all he ever does Joseph, he gives me a fucking headache...."
" I'm flying over to Monte Carlo today... i'll speak to the authorities there and hopefully have him out of police custody and back home within the next 24 to 48 hours... what we are going to find difficult is how we keep the press off of the scent.."
"Make sure no one breathes a word... Everyone here has had to sign an NDA about anything that happens within this company as you know, so you can bet your bottom dollar that nobody from here is going to say a word about his shenanigans... they know it's more than their job and life is worth.." she stated.
"do you want to fly out with me to Monte Carlo?.."
She sat back in her seat and looked at him across the desk. "No, I don't Joseph... i'm going to be busy..."

Lucia pulled her car to a stop next to the house overlooking the lake. It was peaceful here, she had only ever been here a handful of times when her employers were using it as a vacation house. She was the one who had to order in the caterers and the staff that would look after them while they were there. She went to the trunk of her car and started to pull out the bags and boxes one by one, so that she could clean and tidy, just like Dolores had asked her to ahead of her arrival.
