and going to the gym doesn’t exactly pay, does it?’
    They walked back into the dining room, where Danny and Freddie were talking about another player’s latest sponsorship deal.
    ‘Danny,’ Chastity said, rolling her eyes. ‘Why haven’t you given Ella her wedding present yet? She was asking me all about it in the garden.’
    ‘Um, well, I wasn’t exactly asking about it,’ Ella began. ‘I didn’t know we were doing wedding presents, you see, and . . .’ She trailed off. She felt desperately awkward. She didn’t need anything at all. She had Danny, she was living in this amazing house, and she was blessed. She hated the thought of anyone thinking she ‘deserved’ a present when she was so lucky already.
    Danny chuckled. ‘I was planning on giving it to her tonight, just after you both left, but I can see you’re desperate to know what it is, Chas.’
    ‘It’s Chastity , and I’m not desperate at all. Just looking out for my new friend here.’ Chastity hated anyone shortening her name, and hated the insinuation that she was being nosey. Whatever Danny gave her it wouldn’t be as good as her beautiful thoroughbred colt.
    ‘Well, it’s outside. Ella, would you like your wedding present now?’
    Ella blushed, and took Danny’s outstretched hand. He led her to the front door, and put a blindfold on her. She could feel Chastity and Freddie standing behind them, and then the sweet smell of the evening air as Danny opened the door.
    ‘Easy now, just a few steps; that’s right.’ Danny led Ella down the gravel path, and she laughed nervously. Where were they going? But as quickly as she wondered how far they were going to walk, they stopped. And Danny whisked off the blindfold.
    Ella blinked. She couldn’t quite believe it. Was this for her?
    ‘What do you think?’ Danny asked easily, as though he was asking how Ella’s supper was. ‘Do you like it?’
    ‘Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!’ Ella screamed, and she jumped up and down in excitement.
    In front of them was a gleaming, bright-red retro Ferrari, with a large white bow around it. It was beautiful.
    ‘Thank you for being my wife,’ Danny said, as Ella jumped into his arms and smothered him in kisses.
    ‘I can’t believe you bought this for me! I can’t believe it!’
    ‘It’s a recreation of a 1961 convertible Ferrari, no expense spared,’ Danny explained, as Ella began walking around it in exhilaration. It had gorgeous brown leather bucket seats, a silver interior, and was absolutely perfect.
    ‘Wow,’ Freddie said, as he stared at the car. ‘Those are some wheels.’
    ‘Yes,’ Chastity agreed, trying to keep the jealousy out of her voice. She only had a Mercedes, and she couldn’t quite believe that little Ella had a better car than she did. She’d have to upgrade, and fast.
    ‘My wife deserves a carriage good enough for a princess,’ Danny smiled, and Ella’s eyes shone.
    ‘Danny, I don’t know what to say,’ Ella began, but Danny put a finger to her lips.
    ‘You don’t need to say anything at all,’ he said. ‘You deserve this, and so much more. And I hope this car makes you as happy as you make me.’
    ‘I’m glad you’re home and not out shopping,’ Aaron said insultingly, his eyes fixed to Ella’s breasts as she poured him a cup of tea. ‘One of my meetings fell through at the last minute – stupid fools, I won’t agree to see them again – and as I was in the area it seemed like the perfect time to drop in.’
    Ella smiled as brightly as she could. Okay, so she had been thinking about going to the shops to kill some time, but just because she didn’t have a job it didn’t mean she was some vacuous bimbo obsessed with clothes. Yes, she liked clothes, but she thought she had a bit more depth than that.
    ‘I’m pleased to see you,’ Ella said charmingly, hoping her murderous thoughts weren’t reflected in her expression. ‘It’s been ages since I saw you last.’
    ‘Quite,’ Aaron said, and he
