Gold Diggers and a Heartbreaker

The Lufti sisters are settling in nicely. Once Layla has dated and dumped Pablo, Mena loses no time consoling him... She does let him know she's 'rich' - she knows his first wife died under rather suspicious circumstances, and she knows her money will attract his attention...

Marrying him is easy. Getting him to drown, not so much. No matter how often she thinks 'die, I want to see your ghost' at him, he keeps climbing out of the pool.

So in the end Mena settles for the next best thing - she makes sure Pablo is tired, and then sets off a few fireworks between the doors and the bed when he is sleeping. And then she goes shopping.

Once the neighbours come running in, of course she comes rushing back. She pretends to put out the fire - but she's careful to just aim where Pablo is *not* standing. (The pile of ashes is where Pablo was...)

She sees the ghost as Grim comes to claim him, so her wish was fulfilled straight away - no need to hold a wake over the urn to see whether he shows... As you can see, she was upset at the mess in the bedroom, but didn't really spare another glance for her dead hubby...

One thing she hadn't counted on, though, was her method of making Pablo sleepy backfiring on her - she found out the next day that she was nauseous of 'unknown causes'. (Well, Pablo deserved some fun, and this will give Mena a living reminder of what she's done...)

In the meantime, Layla decided that she wasn't partied out yet, so she broke up with Michael and went to France to have some fun.

It took her some time to find a non-register, non-married victim after dumping Jules, but in the end she did find one who actually made a move on her... (He babbled something about 'getting to know her better' the moment she showed up on his doorstep. The idiot!)

Her third victim was an elderly gentleman - much to the disgust of Jules, who was still sore about the way she'd treated him...

The wish didn't kick in until number 10 was dumped and heartbroken, but Layla was able to get home feeling she'd accomplished all she'd wanted in her life.

Meanwhile Michael Adams was nursing his broken heart, and he decided to give up on women and concentrate on rescuing animals instead.

He tried befriending strays, but they tend to come and go and it was impossible to get them to move in, so he ended up adopting six animals from the shelter.

Too bad about that stray cat, I liked it.
