"Tom. Mate you here?" Chris called from the living room. "ah there you are, Naomi. said you wanted a wake up call!"

Tom stood against the doorway and waved at Chris. "Thanks! is Naomi about?"

"Yeah she just stepped outside to take a call, apparently Luke wants to speak to you!" Chris caught the sight of Tom rolling his eyes. "Oh Mark told me to tell you that he has gone to pick up Benedict from the airport, before you freak out. His plane got in early so Naomi asked one of us and Mark volunteered."

Tom thanked Chris and headed into the shower. He let the water run over him as the memory of only being in here earlier with Brianna filled his mind. He needed to run just to clear his head, knowing that everyone would be asking him if he was OK about Brianna not being around. He dressed into his running clothes and headed out to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water and his headphones. As he headed out onto the beach his phone rang. A photo of himself and his friend Sante flashed up.

"Sante. Darling, sorry i had to get some sleep. Are you OK?"

"I'm good, and i am guessing from the photos all over social media that you and Miss Stars are more than friends?"

"How many photos? no don't answer that. Yeah i hope that something is forming." he replied as he took off running along the beach. "So i guess that i don't have to explain now why i wanted you to give me info on Brianna."

"No. I was interested more once you hung up on me, i understand why you did. So want to know what else i discovered about the richest woman in the world next to the queen that is, actually i think that she might be richer than the queen."

"I am pretty sure she told me everything."

Sante paused "I bet she hasn't"

Tom stopped running, if anyone passed him he would have the look of confusion on his face. "What do you mean?"

"Did she tell you that she has only had one boyfriend, they broke up about seven years ago after he put her in the hospital by running her car off the road. He didn't like the idea of her choosing a career over her life of luxury, she went to the hospital quite regularly during their five year romance. But she never pressed charges, i guess she was too afraid but then he comes from a rich family also, their dads companies were and still are in partnership together they have been since..........whoa!."

Tom listened intently as he headed back towards the beach house apartment. "What is it? Sante whats wrong?"

"Tom. I think you need to speak to Brianna. Baker Hughes have just released a press statement announcing the engagement and arranged marriage of Liam Hughes to Brianna Stars. Tom do you think she even knows?" she said sounding concerned "Are you still there Tom?"

"I've got to go Sante. I'll call you soon." he clicked off his phone and stood looking out over the beach, he could see Chris welcoming cast and crew members for the bar-be-que. He needed to speak to Brianna, but she was only half way through her flight. Who was this Liam Hughes and why would his fathers company announce this now just when he had found her, just when he had given her his heart. Tom walked back inside to find Benedict stood waiting for him.

"So you and Brianna at last?"

Tom smiled at his friend. He knew that Ben would be able to tell that this situation would soon trouble him, and that he would not talk about it either. "Well yeah, i hope so. But this recent news!"

"News?" Ben replied as he embraced Tom.

Tom walked towards his room.

"I spoke to Sophie, she knows Brianna's parents, her adoptive parents. They have been trying for the last 20 years to stop this marriage." Ben remarked, making Tom stop in his tracks.
