“Take this,” he commands, giving me his black card.
I stared at the card with uncertainty. “Rowan…”

money, but
Frowning in confusion, my eyes shift from the card to him. I didn’t understand what he
meant by ‘I have money‘. I didn’t have time to question him, nor did I argue, because with
the way he was looking at me, I knew he wouldn’t budge.
“Fine,” I mutter, taking the card. “Thank you”

goodbye,
I leave our home. We decide to use one car, so one of the bodyguards drives us to the
mall.
I was so excited that I could barely contain myself. Soon enough, we get there, and after
parking the car, we head straight to the shops while Morris follows behind.
“So what exactly are you looking for?” Letty asks when we enter one of the exclusive
shops.
I look at the place in nervousness, my mind reeling from the price tags.
“Letty, I don’t think I can afford anything here” I commented in a shrill voice. “The price
here, is enough to give me a damn heart attack”
They look at each other before turning to me. “What the hell are you talking about”
Corrine
looks at me in confusion.
“I mean, with my teacher salary, I can’t afford any of this, and I don’t want to use the card
that Rowan gave me. Let’s just look for something cheaper.”
Letty takes my hand and leads me to the couch, while Corrine asks the shop assistant to
give
us some time.
“I don’t know if Rowan told you this, but you’re parents are freaking rich, Ava. You know
who the Howell’s are, right?” She asks, and I nod. Everyone knew who they were. “Well,
your parents are the Howell’s. Nora and Theo Howell”
I stare at her, not sure whether I should believe her or not. I haven’t talked to them in a
while, even though they’ve reached out a lot. I planned to visit them next week.
“Apart from that, you’re rich all on your own, Ava. You don’t need Rowan’s or your parent’s
money. You are a freaking millionaire, so I’m damn sure you can afford anything in this
shop,” she finishes, blowing my mind.
“How the hell am I rich?” I asked, unable to comprehend what she was telling me. It feels

for the fact that Rowan took care of everything related to Noah, I would have been in deep
shit.
“That’s a story for another day,” she says. “For now, let’s get you something that will
make sure Rowan’s eyes are on you the whole night.”
We get to work and after going through so many dresses and so many shops, we finally
settle on a dress that all of us agree on. Since I apparently had money, I also went on
shopping spree. I bought new dresses, skirts, shoes, tops and so on. I also bought
somethings for the kids.
By the time we were done, I was tired but excited at the same time.
“I’m so happy for you, Ava.” Letty says this while we are on our way home. “I’m glad to
see this thing between you and Rowan working out.
“Of all of us, she was the one who realized that Rowan loved you even though you kept
denying it. She’s been Team Rowan from the start,” Corrine adds with a smile.
I was happy. Truly happy. My only prayer is that nothing messes it up.
