Heart Breaker Part II

Carta feels an attraction to Gavin, who is so handsome that he makes a lot of money from his having sex with men, and also has women vying for his attention. Eric gets jealous about Gavin and it causes arguments between him and Carta. She hopes never to see him again, but he then lets slip that his manager who runs his business life, is called Elizabeth and she tells Nicholas that she thinks that his Elizabeth is Mrs Mayfield, who drove Kim to suicide. Nicholas worries that she is obsessed with this issue. Then they find that they have received large donations from well to do people in the City, and all of them mention Richard Slaney, Gavin's lover and Carta's friend. Nick and Carta are flummoxed as they feel uneasy at the idea of taking money from men who heard about the Appeal through their association with a high class rent boy. It might lead to salacious stories in the Press if it got out. They decide to meet Gavin and see if he is sincere in his desire to help the centre, but when they meet him, he says that his manager would not let him work with a Christian centre. He seems mixed up and unhappy, but insists that he likes his lifestyle. Carta longs to find out if his Manager is indeed her nemesis Mrs Mayfield, but she is worried by her attraction to Gavin, as her boyfriend is increasingly jealous. Gavin is trying to play both sides. He is infatuated with Mrs Mayfield who has given him a home and a job and is his mistress at times.. so he wants to please her by bringing in rich clients for her psychic groups, but he also wants to try and seduce Carta so he's worked hard to find rich admirers who will donate to her Healing Centre appeal. Gavin begins to realise that Elizabeth is involved together with her business partner Asherton, in seriously evil behavour. HE has enjoyed his lifestyle of making a lot of money, exploiting the admiration of rich gay men, and seducing pretty girls on the side. But he begins to feel that there is a darker side to Elizabeth and the more he gets involved with Carta and the church the more uneasy he becomes about this side of his life. He gets involved in a row with one of his rich clients, Sir Colin, who hits him and knocks him out, and he realises that this incident is on tape and may be seen by Elizabeth. This forces him to seek help from Susanne, Elizabeth's secretary who is a tough streetwise ex hooker who dislikes Gavin. He begs her for help, and she agrees to get him into Elizabeth's flat when she's out so he can steal back the tapes. Much of his sex life with the clients is taped to give Elizabeth a hold over the men. However Susanne while she helps him, also tells him that Elizabeth is cheating him.. He has an offshore bank account which he's using to save money to get out of the rent boy life, and Susanne tells him that the account is in Elizabeth's name, not his and he will not be able to get hold of his money. Gavin begins to realise more and more that he is being cheated and that Elizabeth is exploiting him and does not really care for him. He tells Susanne that he wants to get his money, and she agrees to transfer the money to a new account for him, if he will share the money with her. He decides that he has to do this, or he'll lose it, so he agrees. He tells Susanne a bit about his personal life and how he fell out with his nice middle class family when his brother died of cancer and he felt that they did not love him as much as they loved the brother. She and Gavin begin to bond.....
