another 24
hours?” I interrupted. “I’m sure you have enough on your plate today,
explaining to your other client how his virgin bride is no longer…pure.”
    It made me physically sick just thinking about the other man
who was going to touch my angel. I won’t allow it. I wasn’t sure how everything
changed this fast, but just thinking about how this might be the last time
Bella and I would be together pulled at my stone cold heart. She had awoken
something deep inside of me that I thought was long gone.
    I could hear the hesitation in her voice. “That would be
beyond our policy, Mr. Stone, and highly inappropriate. This is something that
might damage our reputation, if it were to get out.”
    Oh I heard her loud and clear.
    “Exactly, Sheila. This is something we need to keep between
just the two of us. I can wire you the funds immediately, and you just have to
leave the paperwork for another 24 hours. We can call it a bonus. It’s gratuity
for your discretion over the years.”
    There was a long pause and I knew I had her. Sometimes you’ve
got to throw some money at the problem.
    “Very well, Mr. Stone. I will send the driver tomorrow
evening to retrieve Miss Annabella. Thank you for your understanding.”
    My thoughts kicked in at the use of her title ‘Miss
Annabella’ and I quickly amended my stipulation.
    “Sheila, while I am wiring the funds, I would appreciate it
if you would send Annabella’s file over to me. I would like her full work-up,
seeing as how she’d be staying in my home for yet another night, and I wasn’t
fully informed of her history before allowing her entrance.”
    The small threat was there, and I knew Sheila was a smart
woman. She wouldn’t refuse the information I was asking for as I was holding
all the cards. I could ruin her business with just a few well-placed phone
calls.
    “Of course, Mr. Stone. I will email the documents to you
immediately.”
    I smiled into the phone. “Until next time.”
    Hanging up, I finished transferring the money. I’m willing
to bet good ol’ Sheila would sell me her grandmother for the bonus she’s about
to get. I clicked over to my email and hear the ping of a new message. Sheila’s
email contained only the file and a cursory signature at the bottom.
    I opened the file and waited for it to download onto my
computer. Knowing Annabella was destined to be another man’s bride made me ill.
Maybe her file would give me some insight as to why she would sell herself in
the first place.
    Her file contained basic information with a few other
details. This was something any of the agency’s clients could request. It seems
my Bella’s file is a little longer than the ones I’m used to. I wonder if it’s
because she’s meant to be a bride? The women I usually pay for only have the
basics listed. Height, weight, hair color, and sexual abilities; nothing more.
    Bella’s file started off with her picture. I traced my
finger over the screen, trying to touch her beauty. Her full name is Annabella
Marie Blanco. It says that she’s only 20 years old. I knew she was young but I’m
almost 14 years older than her. I guess as time passed, age difference won’t
matter too much. That thought made me stop short. The image of a future with
her kept appearing in my mind. I had no idea where these feelings were coming
from. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I read on.
    Height 5’3, weight 140, half Hispanic half American. No
family listed, and under sexual history in bold letters were the words “VIRGIN”.
I grinned wolfishly and thought to myself, not anymore.
    It stated that she had heard of the agency from a nurse who
cared for her deceased father. There was also a letter of citizenship present;
I’m guessing this was to show she wasn’t relying on her future husband to get a
citizenship. Flipping through the pages, I found an IQ test. Jesus, how
thorough were these people? It seems like my Beauty had the brains as well. At
