Serena stared at Elena. “You knew?”

“How could you keep something like this from us?” Sabrina added, scandalized.

Elena blinked. “Excuse me? She marries a billionaire, and I’m the villain?”

Silence.

Complete, stunned silence.

They blinked slowly. Then they both slowly turned to look at me.

Serena echoed faintly, “Married?”

“To what?” Sabrina asked in the same breath.

I took a slow sip of my coffee.

“To a billionaire,” I clarified calmly.

Their expressions would have been hilarious if I weren’t the one at the center of their impending explosion.

Serena deadpanned, “You’re joking.”

“I’m not,” I replied.

“You got hitched to someone after only knowing him for a short time and didn’t think to invite us to the wedding.”

I tilted my head. “When you say it like that, it sounds dramatic.”

“Because it is!” Sabrina exploded.

Before either of the twins could question me further, I reached into my purse, pulled out Callahan’s card, and waved it slowly in front of them, as if casting a spell.

Their reactions were instant.

Both of their eyes locked onto the card as if it were magnetic. Serena leaned forward first, her sharp gaze narrowing slightly in recognition. Sabrina’s mouth parted in silent awe. The black surface caught the café lights as I tilted it between my fingers, and they followed the movement in perfect synchronization.

Elena, seated beside Serena, pressed her lips together and looked down at her drink, clearly trying and failing to stifle a laugh.

Sabrina whispered, “You’re kidding.”

I tilted the card slightly so it caught the light. “Nope.”

Serena leaned forward. “Is that—”

“Yes.”

Sabrina blinked at me. “You just said you got married.”

“I did.”

“And you’re just…” Serena gestured vaguely at the card. “…waving around his credit card like a trophy?”

I slipped the card back into my purse calmly. “Me getting married is not the most important thing here.”

That got their attention.

Serena blinked and straightened. “It isn’t?”
