Chapter Eight

Harry looked at the signature on the agreement. “This probably isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.”

“Why not?” Harrison demanded, irritated by his godfather’s gloomy mien.

“Because it was signed soon after the marriage when things were all sweetness and light between you two. She could break it in a minute. In Bono versus Bono—”

“Speak English,” Harrison interrupted.

“When Cher sued Sonny, she won.” Harry sat back in his chair and waited for Harrison’s next question.

Harrison eyed the portly attorney warily. “Just tell me what happened,” he requested in a resigned tone.

“Sonny had Cher sign an agreement when they were married that essentially said he controlled everything she did for life. After the divorce, when she agreed to do a show, he pulled the prior agreement on her, saying she couldn’t do anything without his permission. She took him to court.”

“And won,” Harrison finished.

“Right. No one can control another person’s life for- ever. There has to be an escape clause.”

“I thought that’s what this was.” Harrison pointed to the agreement lying on the desk.

Harry picked it up and studied the two signatures at the bottom of the third page. “Watch out,” he warned. “She signed this too easily, with not one change.”

“Yeah. She probably knows every divorce case in history and has a plan to make sure this agreement doesn’t stick in court.”

“A woman of foresight,” Harry said with a wistful sigh. “When am I going to see her again? That one time you rushed her past my table with hardly more than an introduction was much too brief. I don’t re- member what she looked like.”

“A dark-haired Madonna.” Harrison smiled briefly. “With a heart full of dollar signs.”

“Except where her kid brother is concerned. She has a soft spot there, I think.”

Harrison snorted in disbelief. “Or it could have been a ruse to make her appear noble and all that. I intend to discover the real person behind the facade.”

Harry scowled. “You looked pretty ruthless when you said that. Don’t do anything…ah…untoward.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it,” Harrison vowed, placing a hand over his heart. A sense of recklessness joined the cold fury. His lovely wife was a challenge he couldn’t ignore. He’d know her inside out before the year was up.
