were required.
It didn’t take him long to make a note of what those concerns were. Or for the paralegal to reduce the terms to a draft both she and Rakin perused. Once the agreement was executed and the lawyer had arranged where to send the bill, the meeting was over.
“I wish you the long and happy marriage I am sure you will enjoy.”
Laurel decided to leave their adviser with his illusions. Clearly, he’d concluded this was a love match. A meeting of true minds. And who was she to disabuse him of that romantic notion?
Entering the hotel suite a short while later, Laurel kicked off her shoes and sank into the welcoming comfort of a plush L-shaped sofa with a breathy laugh. “Well, I’m glad that’s done.”
“Soon you will be Mrs. Abdellah.”
Rakin extracted a bottle of champagne from the depths of the bar fridge.
“I’ll help myself to a cola in a little while,” Laurel said quickly. “Otherwise you might railroad me into more propositions.”
He gave her a wry smile. “You’re never going to let me live that down.”
“Never is a long time.” Lazily, she stretched her arms above her head. “I should take a shower.”
“Relax for a few moments, there’s still plenty of time to get dressed.”

With dismay she thought about the strapless black dress she’d worn to the casino last night. Black wouldn’t do for a wedding. Even if it wasn’t a marriage for love—there should still be some element of romance about the occasion.
“I don’t have anything remotely suitable for a wedding,” she confessed as Rakin closed the door of the bar fridge.
“Have no fear.” He gave her a smug smile. “It’s all been taken care of.”
“All been taken care of?” Laurel echoed.
