When he did, his mother could only stare.

“You will have to marry to gain that inheritance!” his mother exclaimed.

“I know, Mama, but we all need it.”

“No. I will find another way. I cannot let you do this.”

“It is already done. I signed the papers and the first installment is right here.”

He dumped a bag of gold coins onto a small decorative table.

Juliana’s eyes widened with amazement, but she shook her head again. “This is not right, Raimond, and I will not take it.”

“Mother, think how much good you can do if you invest this gold wisely. Think of the money you can lend to the businesses struggling to get back on their feet. Think about the Brats and the losses they’ve incurred. According to the barrister, the second installment will be mine when your first grandchild is born.”

His mother continued to shake her head. “Raimond, who on earth are you going to marry?”

“I’ve no idea, but I’m sure you will find an appropriate candidate.”

“Me?”

“Yes, Mama. You. I’ve neither the time nor the inclination. Let me know what day and time to show up at the church. I don’t wish to know anything about her either. Let me be surprised.”

Juliana appeared stunned. “Raimond, this is not a decision I should make for you.”

“Who better? I’ve no plans to love this woman, just to marry her and get her with child so that we may receive the second installment of the old pirate’s money.”

“What has made you so unfeeling all of a sudden? You’ve always loved and respected women.”

“The war. It affected us all.”
