Necklace And His Boss

Some gifts come with conditions. Some conditions come with a price.Caleb Hills is a junior analyst at a wealth management firm, married to Jessica, a bartender who steals lemons and eats cereal for dinner and is way too beautiful for him. He knows it. She knows it. Everyone knows it.When Caleb's boss Robert Langford invites them to an exclusive charity gala, it feels like the break Caleb's been waiting for. New clients. A chance to network. An opportunity to prove himself. Robert even gives them ten thousand dollars to buy Jessica a dress, because these things matter in his world.What Caleb doesn't expect is the necklace. A hundred thousand dollars of diamonds that Robert buys at auction and lets Jessica wear for the evening. What he doesn't expect is the way his wife looks at his boss. The way Robert looks back. The way the whole night shifts from opportunity to something else entirely.Some men collect art. Some collect cars. Robert collects something different.By the time Caleb realizes what's happening, it's already too late. Or maybe it's exactly what he wanted all along. Because when Jessica comes back from the bathroom without her underwear, when she disappears upstairs with Robert for fourteen minutes, when she returns wearing that necklace and asks Caleb if he wants to watch, the word that comes out of his mouth isn't no.This is a story about a marriage that gets rewritten in a single night. About a woman who discovers she likes expensive things and the men who give them to her. About a husband who learns that sometimes love means holding the camera while someone else takes everything you have.
