straps, sleeveless and he was wearing a black suit, like his hair. They looked absolutely adorable. Haggai had to go out to get Rebecca‘s computer at Jessica‘s house. What she didn‘t know was that he would get her a brand-new laptop for her to take anywhere she would go, a new copy, print, scan and fax machine just like Dawn‘s except it was a different brand and a different color, a digital video camera that also functioned as a digital camera, and a webcam, a new DVD player and a new MP3 player. Haggai would spend a total of twenty thousand dollars on her in one day. He was also planning to buy her clothes and food from her favorite restaurant. Tonight would be a night she would never forget.

 

Rebecca started reading her email from Haggai‘s desktop computer, which he only used for gaming and other means of entertainment. Haggai would only use his laptop for work. This desktop was all black and brand new. It had 750 GB of hard drive space, four gigabytes of RAM, a DVD super multi drive, a twenty-two inch LCD monitor and the most popular but expensive programs available, which were only using twenty gigabytes of all that hard drive space. Haggai would only create manuscripts in that computer, his poetry books and his mystery novels. He would never download more programs than the computer had because there were programs that could do anything he could think of. If he wanted to do something on the computer that there wasn‘t a program for, he would have to create a program that could do that—and if he did that, he would literally become the richest man in the world.

Rebecca read an email that totally shocked and horrified her.

 

DEAR REBECCA,

 

THE FACT THAT YOU MARRIED HAGGAI TODAY, IT DOESN‘T MEAN THAT I CAN‘T TAKE HIM AWAY FROM YOU. HE WILL BE MINE EVEN IF I HAVE TO KILL YOU IN ORDER TO GET HIM. ACTUALLY, I DON‘T HAVE TO TOUCH YOU. I JUST HAVE TO SEND YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR FAMILY A VIDEO, A PORN VIDEO THAT YOU MADE WITH TWO GUYS. THAT‘S RIGHT. SO IF YOU DON‘T DIVORCE HIM AND GET HIM TO MARRY ME, YOUR LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT WILL BE OVER. LOVE, VANESSA, YOUR BEST FRIEND

 

“A video of me with two guys, that can‘t be!” she said and fainted.

 

Vanessa sent her the video just to show her what was coming to her, but it wasn‘t Rebecca in the video. It was a woman that looked exactly like Rebecca, with Rebecca‘s best buddies, Zack and Ike. This woman was from Australia, and the guys met her and had a good time with her, until now. Fortunately, they were both eighteen.

 

This video would destroy the lives of Rebecca‘s friends, the Australian woman, and even Vanessa‘s life because a lawsuit for libel would put Vanessa on the streets. She would regret this.

 

Mila, Haggai‘s Indian maid, woke up Rebecca. “Mrs. Brady, wake up, please! I don‘t want Mr. Brady to see you passed out!” She had a notable accent, but she could speak English fluently.

 

“What happened?” Rebecca said as she put up her head and suddenly she saw the porn video on her computer screen. “Oh, no…!” she said and turned off the monitor.

 

Fortunately, Mila did not see the Australian woman‘s face. “You don‘t like porn, do

you?”

“No, I don‘t. I mean…”
