Planning a big soiree to announce their engagement was the last thing that Melinda wanted to do. Oh, who was she kidding? It was the exact thing she wanted to do and had been secretly dreaming of for most of her adult life. But she also knew the bigger deal that was made out of the engagement, the harder it was going to be to move on when it was over. Slade had said they’d reassess after three months, but she had also heard the iron in his voice when he said he didn’t want to get married.
She wasn’t stupid. She knew that she had to keep her head about this, but she couldn’t help looking down at the huge rock, the Conti family heirloom, that Slade had slipped on her finger after he’d made love to her last Wednesday night. It was a week later and he’d been good to his word, escorting her to functions and even setting up a romantic lunch with her so that the media would have some photos to run other than that scorching hot kiss they’d shared at the opera...the one that had outed them.
“Earth to Mels... Anyone home?” Angela asked as she handed her a coffee and sat down across from her at the party planners. This kind of engagement announcement party was going to require the big guns and since they were holding it on Saturday, it really didn’t give her enough time to do it on her own. Her father hadn’t been over the moon at the news, but he liked Slade so he’d offered to foot the bill, which had reassured Melinda that his money troubles were all speculation and rumor.
“I’m trying not to be jealous of the fact that Daddy is so happy about your engagement and is still trying to convince me to break things off with Ryder.”
“How is everything going with Ryder?” Melinda asked. “I thought Daddy would soften toward him now that he’s out of jail.”
“You know Daddy. He’s tried, but he really can’t seem to stop hating on Ryder,” Angela said. “But that’s not what we are here today to talk about. How can I help?”
“I’m just trying to figure out how to get this all done,” she said.
“You’ll do it and it will be the event of the season,” Angela said. “You’re always good at making your dreams come true.”
There was a note of melancholy in her sister’s voice. Their father had yet to give his approval of Angela’s engagement, even though Ryder was a successful businessman.
“I’m sorry,” she said.
“It’s not your fault. But if Daddy says one more thing about how Slade is the catch of the century, I might have to remind him Slade’s family is a bit...shady.”
Her father just said things like that in what Melinda could only guess was the hope that Angela would drop Ryder and find another man, a man that in his eyes was a better one. Though Slade had assured her that he wasn’t part of the Bartelli business, it was hard to dodge these kinds of inferences.
