CHAPTER SIX

ANNAfelt as if she’d just been sucker-punched.

“Replace me?” She thrust the résumé back at him, as if it burned her fingers. “Why would I help you replace me? This job was my life. Why would I help you give it away?

I’m not going to lift a finger for you.”

“Good point,” he said briskly, then pushed another official document toward her.

“Would this convince you?”

She picked up the attached papers, frowning. “Another résumé will hardly—”

But, as she read the first words on the page, her jaw fell open and she collapsed back against the hard wooden chair.

“It’s a custody agreement,” she gasped when she could speak.

“Yes,” he said pleasantly.

She fumbled through the pages, but her hands were shaking and the paperclip fell to the floor. Bending to pick it up, she looked up at him. “You’re going to give me joint custody?”

“Call it incentive.”

“What do you want in return?” she said guardedly.

“I’ll sign the custody agreement if you help me find a good executive assistant within ten days.”

She stared at him. “That’s all? I just have to help you find a new secretary and you’ll give me joint custody of Misha? You’ll let me leave?”

He gave a graceful shrug. “I’m a desperate man. I need this settled by the time I leave for Singapore.”

She could hardly believe her ears. It was way too good to be true. “I thought you said you were going to make me suffer for betraying you?”

“As I said yesterday, I’ve come to appreciate your love and care for my son.”

Yeah, right. “There’s something you’re not telling me.”

“So suspicious,” he said, then closed his laptop with a sigh. “You will, of course, agree never to see Victor Sinistyn again.”

She nearly laughed aloud. At last it made sense. Perhaps he did want her help finding a new secretary, but it was Victor that really worried him. Her plan had worked better than she’d ever dared dream.

She opened her mouth to tell him she’d be perfectly happy to cross Victor’s name permanently off her Christmas card list, but closed it as another thought occurred to her.

What if Nikos changed his mind before she found him a new assistant and he signed the custody agreement? If she agreed to stop seeing Victor she’d lose her only hold on Nikos.

She couldn’t play out her hand so easily.

“I’m not sure I can do that.” She tilted her head, as if considering his offer. “Victor is a hard man to forget.”

She saw a glint of something hard and flinty in Nikos’s eyes, then it was veiled beneath a studiously careless expression. “It’s your choice, of course.”

“Whether I’m friends with Victor?”

“Whether you want joint custody of our son.”

Hardly able to believe her own daring, she said, “Of course I do. But I’ll need more than your signature on a custody agreement to give up a man who might be the love of my life.”

His eyes were decidedly hard now, glittering like coal turning to diamonds under pressure. “What do you want?”

“You want a new secretary to replace me.
