Now she had left school she had fixed her eyes on her future and if she had her way it would involve a large luxurious house and a big income to match.
She had watched her sister Harriet marry a rich old man and wanted to do the same herself. As if fate was favouring her, Keith Shah had moved into a very large house next to Naomi's Aunt, Gwen Nagi.
Naomi had set to work getting to know him straight away and she had charmed him right enough.
Keith was a different man to Jeremy Weasley. Jeremy came from a rich background whereas Keith was a self made man, used vulgar expressions and felt himself much cleverer than all his company.
Still Naomi mused he had one advantage over Jeremy. Keith was older and had a nasty heart condition which could mean his sudden demise at any time. For Naomi, Keith was a means to an end. She would be a rich wealthy widow and she planned all the things she would do with her money whilst pretending to be enraptured with one of Keith's long boring stories.
Her cunning paid off and before Owen had been married a year it was her turn to stand at the altar.
Her family all seemed happy for her, she had done a good job convincing them as well as Keith that she cared for him.
Soon she hoped to bury her husband and then her life you really begin and none of her family would be able to stop her doing anything she set her mind on.
