Blackmail

A temporary marriage?

Gilles Chauvigny blackmailed Lee into marriage for no other reason than that he wanted to get rid of his mistress, once and for all. To Lee's relief, like all of Gilles' arrangements with women, would be strictly temporary.

But after the wedding things began to change. Lee soon realized that she'd fallen head over heels in love with her husband. Did she have reason to hope that their temporary marriage could ever turn into a permanent one?
