My Stilettos - Ch. 2

From the last chapter

Alma arrived in Twinbrook, bought a small house for her and got a job in the Business Career, where she met her boss and actual lover, Wei Keane, whom she planned to marry as soon as possible (even if she had no romantic feelings for him).

Unfortunatelly, she had to change her plans when a stranger came in her life and she found out that he was one of the richest men in town.

She spent her next two days trying to find more information about the rich stranger and soon, she decided that he was the right man for her.Of course, she kept hanging out with her boss, and she was now a Field Sales Rep.

One day, when she arrived at work (later than usual) she was surpised to find on her desk a white rose with a note.She read this note and smilled when she saw who the author was: Max Racket.He was inviting her that evening, at the theater, for the premiere of a new drama.She couldn't be happier!But she was careful not to let her boss see the note. 

That evening she met the man and they went together at the theater and, after that, for dinner at a very exclusive restaurant.The evening ended late, at her house. 

She woke up early in the morning, although it was Saturday and she had no work.While she was taking her morning shower, Alma was thinking that the things are doing just fine.She had only one more thing to do to achive her happiness: to proove Max that she was not just a simple mistress.That she was the perfect wife for him.

Later that morning she will find out that the things are never that easy.

When Max woke up they ate the breakfast together in the garden, while Alma was listening the man taling about his life.She learned that he had a wife, Marigold Racket, whom he married many years ago.He also had three sons and two grandchildren.They all lived in their manor.He also told her that he was feeling like getting older, and the fights in his house were too tiring for him now.

After that morning he started spending less and less time at home, with his family, and more time with Alma, whom he invited to come with him in his business travels.

Now, Alma was sure she had his heart, because from the first morning they spent together, she understoond what this man had and what he needed the most.He had money and glory, but he had no passion in his life.So she gave him what he wanted.And he fell in love with her.He bought her jewelry, dresses and perfumes.

Three months later, at the lunch, he told her that he informed his wife that morning that he wanted a divorce as fast as possible.He had a fight with his wife, she yelled at him, she threatened him, but he was determined to obtain that divorce.Alma understoon that moment that Max wanted to marry her and gave him all her suport. 

The divorce lasted several months, when all the reporters from the city chased Alma and wrote articles about her relation with Max.But, the night when the divorce was pronounced, Max had a surprise for his lover.He proposed her and she accepted and kissed him.

They decided that they want no reporters at their wedding party, so, toghether, they created a plan for the wedding.Also, Alma and her fiancé choosed the wedding date as soon as possible.

In only a week they married at her house, in a beautiful summer evening, on the porch, with only close friends, while the reporters were informed about a big wedding party at the beach and were waiting for them there.

Immediately after the party Alma moved at his house.
