An hour later, Ramell helped bring his hungover wife back from the brink of sickness. He pumped her full of fruit juice and crackers to get her amino acids up. After that he gave her some Excedrin for her headache and then helped her to the shower. Through it all, he had to admit that he liked taking care of her. While she was in the shower, he ordered himself a mini-buffet since they had missed both breakfast and lunch.

He started cleaning up the bedroom while he waited. It was busy work so that he didn’t have to think about what Sofia would say once she came out of the shower. Judging by her reaction to the news of their marriage, he had very little hope that they would reach their two-day anniversary.

He plugged the phone back into the wall just as the bathroom door swung open. Ram looked up to see Sofia draped beneath a white hotel robe that was at least two sizes too big. Even with her hair wet and no makeup, she was still the most beautiful woman he’d ever known.

“We need to talk,” she said.

“I had a feeling you were going to say that.”

The phone rang. He picked it up because it was already in his hands. “Hello.”

“Ramell,” Jacob Wellesley roared. “What’s this I hear about you marrying my niece?”

“Uh, Jacob! Hello!” He glanced over at Sofia.

Her eyes bugged out as she started shaking her head.

“Well?” Jacob demanded.

Ram couldn’t tell whether his new business partner was mad or just sincerely wanted an explanation. “Yes, sir. About that, I’m sure it has come as a bit of a shock but—”

“Shock? Hell, I’m wondering what on earth took you so long!”

“Yes, I, um…what did you just say?”

“I said that it took you too damn long,” Jacob laughed. “I can’t tell you enough how thrilled Lily and I are about this latest development.”

“Oh, really?” He looked back over at Sofia who was now mouthing questions to Ramell, trying to figure out what her uncle was saying.

“This just means that I made the right decision in merging our companies together. Plus, it means that our business is still technically family-owned. I have to be frank with you, I’ve been up nights worried about all of this. Now I feel as if a giant load has been taken off my shoulders.”

“It does?” he asked.

“What?” Sofia whispered, creeping over to him.

Jacob continued. “I was up every night. Doing this deal made me feel like I was somehow stabbing Sofia in the back. She has worked very hard in the company and in a lot of ways I should have made her full partner years ago. At the same time, all those hours she puts in had us all worried. Now that you two are going to officially be a team, well…I know that you’re going to look after her best interest and not let her take on too much. Frankly, I think you are a Godsend.”

Ram smiled. “I can’t tell you how much it means to me to hear you say that, Jacob.
