“Goodbye.” And she hung up.
    “So, I’ll draw up the papers as necessary, get William to sign, and have you come in after he’s left to sign, get them entered to the Courts tomorrow morning. I was not going to say so in front of Mr. Spenser, but I already have a tentative date for next Monday, and six weeks from then you should be free to get your marriage license.  You don’t have to triple my fee, Senor de Velaquado, but thank you for the offer.”
    “My London solicitor will send you details of the property immediately, so you can have the offer to purchase ready for William to sign at the same time,” smiled the Espagnolian. “And I will triple your fee. 
    Geraldine Grey smiled. “Thank you. You think of everything, Sir, don’t you?”
    “When can we be married under English law?” asked Rodriguez.
    “In England? Eight weeks and one day from Monday, if William’s father doesn’t complicated things.”
    “We will be married in Espagnolia. I can get special dispensation to waive the twenty one day waiting period.  If we marry there we can be wed the middle of December, before Christmas. I want to be married before our child is born,” explained Rodriguez. “It will be much simpler for succession purposes, inheritances. My Uncle Philippe Miguel does not need any more scandal. He has enough with his son-in-law.”
    “Succession?” asked Geraldine.
    “My uncle is King Philippe Miguel of Espagnolia. My mother is his sister. I will shortly be seventh in line for the throne and our son, eighth. I’m also twenty first in line for the Spanish throne, through my father’s family,” explained Rodriguez.
    “Is there any problem with Louisa wearing an engagement ring now?” he asked.
    “None,” said the solicitor weakly.
    The happy couple went off to Cartier.
    Rodriguez spoke seriously to Louisa in the taxi.
    “Louisa, my darling, I was impressed with the way you handled that worm William on the telephone, but I must warn you that if you ever use that condescending tone of voice to me, I shall turn you over my knee and spank you.”
    Louisa giggled.
    “I might find that fun, ‘Riguez. But seriously, Sir, I respect you and would never use that tone of voice to you, even in exasperation or anger. But William, William I have only distain for, especially now.”
    “I am happy to hear that, Louisa. You would not like the consequences if you are disrespectful. I will always treat you will respect, also.”
    “Can I spank you if you don’t?” she asked flirtatiously.
    “I think not, baby…remember I am in charge…” But he kissed her hard, to take the sting out of his words.
    Louisa smiled to herself. This marriage definitely had interesting possibilities. She’d just read a scandalous best seller, and she was intrigued with the idea of being spanked…especially if ‘Riguez got some of those silver balls…

    By eleven o’clock the same morning, John Spenser was furious. He’d received three calls, one after the other, before ten o’clock, one from each of his three principal financiers to inform him that his loans had been taken over by Browning Mercantile Bank.
    Then he got the call from his Estate Agent saying that the entire rental portfolio he’d put on the market was gone, to a company called Jewel’s Properties. The deposit cheque was drawn on Browning Mercantile Bank.
    The principal of Jewel’s Properties had pointed out in writing the illegality of selling the properties for less than the mortgaged value and not paying off the debt. The deal was for exactly what John Spenser had borrowed against the rental portfolio. Not a penny more, not a penny less, and the lenders had already been advised that Browning Mortgage Corporation would be assuming the debt and retiring the existing liens.
    Next, his Legal Counsel had finished looking at his son’s pre-nup agreement and had concluded there was no way it could be broken.
    They pointed out the clause that negated
