‘Are you going to tell me where the money came from?’ Becca looks at me expectantly over the rim of her third glass of Chardonnay.

Her eyes never stray from mine as she takes another contemplative sip. We’re sitting at a tiny bar in the lobby of our hotel. When I’d found out about Colton’s marital status, I’d fled for home, broken hearted and destroyed. Becca convinced me we needed a girl’s weekend away.

I take another healthy swig of my beverage. God, don’t they have anything stronger than wine in this country?

‘What kind of arrangement can you make with a man where he just gives you half a million dollars, Soph?’ Her tone is accusatory.

I know my family has a lot of questions about where the money for Becca’s treatment came from, and so far, I haven’t said a word. Until now. Her eyes grow wide and she slaps a hand over her mouth. ‘Oh my God, were you like, his sex slave?’ She giggles.

My cheeks burn brightly, but I shake my head. ‘You’d have to actually have sex for that to be the case, I’d think…’
