As did she. That was the strangest thing of all—the way she simply accepted what had happened, abandoned her fight. Let herself be taken over by him at last, to spend a lazy, easy day together on the beach, in the water, in the sun and the shade, letting the island work its strange, alluring magic on her, and then, as night fell, eating simple food, cooked by themselves in the low-tech kitchen, sitting at a rustic wooden table set out under the olive trees, drinking wine while the stars burned golden holes in the patches of the sky between the silvered olive leaves.

What they talked of she did not know, for another conversation was taking place, running silently between them, weaving their eyes together, until at last Theo rose to his feet, took her hand, and took her to his bed.

In the early morning, as he lay asleep beside her, she got up and dressed, and phoned from her mobile for the helicopter.

And fled.

CHAPTER EIGHT

MEMORY twisted inside her like a garrotte around her throat. She gazed now, down the length of the table, at the man who was going to wreak his revenge on her for what she had allegedly done to him.

Gone from his bed into another man’s arms.

She’d had no idea—none—that she had been photographed with Jem at the airport where she’d met him, or that she had been trailed leaving with him as she fled. No idea at all until, three days later, knowing she could put it off no longer, she had returned to the Theakis mansion.

To be eviscerated by Theo’s savage fury and thrown from her marriage in bloodied rags.

Never to be spoken to again, never to have her existence acknowledged—until now. When he had decided it was time for a little exercise in revenge…

Her eyes darkened. Revenge for her having committed the greatest crime of all, in his eyes—preferring another man to him.

That was all it was…

All it could possibly be. Their marriage had not been real, had been a sham, simply for show, so how could there even be a question of adultery?

No one even saw those photos! Only him!

So how could he have grounds for anger? Her mouth twisted. Was it just about the money it had cost him to buy them from the photographer who had, so Theo had hurled at her in that nightmare exchange, thought he could make more money by selling them to him rather than the newspapers? Well, so what? Theo Theakis had more money than he knew what to do with, and she wasn’t responsible for the ludicrous interest the press took in him and his affairs!

He shouldn’t have so damn many himself if he doesn’t want the press all over him!

Well, she thought balefully, no one was going to find out about the ‘affair’ he was having right now, that was for certain.

With his own ex-wife.

She gazed down the table again, reaching automatically for her glass of wine. She wished she could pass out cold.
