I'd been with Charles for three years. I wanted his money, and he wanted my body. We both got what we wanted, making us the most "harmonious" lovers in the Ventaris Circle. But then the girl he'd always loved came back, and he kicked me out, tossing me a check for 3 million dollars and telling me to get lost. I ripped the check to shreds right in front of him. Then I turned around and dialed a number. "Mr. Foster, is that marriage alliance you mentioned last time still on the table?" Later, at the Foster Family's dinner party, he had his arm around his first love, looking all high and mighty as he announced, "Let me introduce you. This is my fiancée." I linked arms with the aloof, distinguished man beside him and gave a faint smile. I said, "What a coincidence. Let me introduce you. This is my fiancé. Charles, next time we meet, don't forget to call me Aunt."
