Chapter 26. Invitation

RAYNE'S POV

"I prefer purple," I replied. I couldn't imagine spending an amount I didn't work for on a single piece of dress. I mean, there were a lot of lives one could reach out to with such money. Plus, I could get many beautiful dresses in my regular dress store for less.

Bianca turned to Elaina, glaring at her with visibly furious eyes. Elaina didn't flinch, and neither did she lower her gaze. She had always been fearless. I guess this thing comes with being powerful.

"Alright. I guess there are other things you might like here." Mrs. Lawn said. "You know your husband likes red, don't you?"

In all honesty, I didn't. I stared at her dumbfoundedly. I didn't know whether or not to tell her the truth. Did they even know the circumstances surrounding my marriage to Eric? My phone beeped in my hand and I lowered my gaze from Mrs. Lawn.

A message from Eric. Talk of the devil.

'Go home early and don't bother waiting for me, I'll be back late.'
