CHAPTER SEVEN

THEO WOKE LATE the next morning in what had once been his honeymoon suite to find himself neck-deep in a three-ring circus, which was marginally preferable to the sea of rose petals he’d ordered removed, before he even rolled out of the vast bed.

There were more messages from his office than he could count. His direct employees. Mrs. Papadopoulos, her voice more steely each time. His father. Even his younger brother, Brax, away on a business trip in the far-off reaches of Perth, Australia.

“Your father is trying to reach you, sir,” Mrs. Papadopoulos said icily in one of her voice mails. “He has passed by your office. In person. Four times already this morning. To say nothing of the numerous calls from the exceedingly impolite press.”

She’d left that message at 9:00 a.m.

“What is it with you and that damned woman?” Brax demanded, sounding as aggrieved as he did far away. “Why must you play these endless games with her to the detriment of the Tsoukatos name? Why can’t you call her the mistake she is, divorce her and move on?”

His father was more gruff, and sounded the most furious. As usual.

“I no longer find it amusing to see my successor presented as little more than a pathetic sex machine in the papers,” Demetrious Tsoukatos growled. “End this, Theo. Now. Endaxi.”

He told himself that whatever had happened, whatever had spurred all these messages, Holly could not possibly be involved. How could she? He’d left her room not long before dawn, and he’d left her in emotional turmoil.

A quick call to the suspiciously overapologetic front desk—never a good sign, Theo thought darkly—brought him a giant carafe of very strong coffee and the papers in question, which Theo spread out before him on the low, solid glass coffee table where once, years before, he’d made a long, sweet feast of his brand-new wife, tasting and savoring every last inch of her delectable body.

It was harder than it should have been to shove those unhelpful images from his head, but Theo managed it.

The screeching, salacious headlines plastered all over the tabloid papers helped him along.

Tsoukatos Savages Scorned Wife! the first hollered, featuring a grainy picture of the two of them in The Chatsfield’s lobby, Theo towering over a miserable-looking Holly, appearing to be every inch the savage they claimed he was.

It’s been years since shipping tycoon Theo Tsoukatos has been seen in public with the American wife his disapproving father begged him not to take, giving rise to all manner of rumors the notoriously tight-lipped magnate has refused to either confirm or deny... But this emotional
