âHe just let you have the card, and thatâs it?â
My friendâs surprise matched my own.
I showed her the list Iâd snapped on my phone, and her brows lifted at the sight of all the things I had to buy⦠Essentially, an entire living room and bedroom suite.
âYeah, I know, right? And he wants them by Friday.â I shook my head. âIâm not sure if he thinks Iâm a miracle worker orââ
âMaybe he thinks youâll drop his name?â Lisandra whispered. âI mean, everyone knows the OâDonnellys. People will probably jump into a breakdance if you ask them to.â
Because the idea amused me, and I could tell she wanted to test it out, I snorted. âYou sound jealous.â
âWhy wouldnât I? Youâre one of them now,â she joked, elbowing me in the side as we wandered into a furniture store that, truth be told, Iâd bought most of my bedroom furniture from when Iâd been given the choice as a birthday present when I was sixteen. Of course, that had been to soften the news of the fact I was engagedâ¦
That was probably the last time Father had tried to soften anything.
Iâd grown up fast that day. My age in no way reflected how ancient I felt sometimes.
Iâd seen more in my time than some eighty-year-olds did, and I was glad there were people who were spared the shit I had in my memory banks.
For a moment, I envied Lisandra, then I stopped it because she had her own woes, and at the moment, we werenât deep in misery, eating our weight in Halo Top, we were shoppingâher favorite pastime. Me? I wasnât that big of a fan, but I liked doing it with her. It was the only time I felt normal.
Levigneâs had a lot of ethnic articles in their stock, more of a beach vibe than the city slicker stuff Eoghan had. But he shouldnât have sent me shopping for him if he didnât want my taste to reign supreme in our home, right?
Somehow, that thought had me freezing in place, long enough for Lisandra to step forward, then to look back at me when I didnât move.
âWhatâs wrong?â Her brow furrowed like she thought there was something wrong with me.
âI just thought⦠I have a home now. Like, my own place.â
Her lips twitched. âYou need to invite me over. I need to see it.â
I shrugged. âI wish I could.â
She curved her arm around my shoulder. âI know, I know. Youâre Vasovâs daughter.â She mock-shuddered. âNow youâre Eoghan OâDonnellyâs wife. Iâm surprised youâre still speaking to me.â
I knew she was hurting about not being invited to the wedding, but none of my few friends had been there.
It hadnât been a wedding of love, but of arrangement, and though I hadnât been able to explain that to Lisandra, it didnât take a fucking genius to figure out that an eighteen-year-old and a thirty-year-old only got married to tie two dynasties together.
And while the dynasties were illegal, the fronts werenât.
The Vasovs were renowned industrialists.
