Epilogue

Six months later

T he grand opening of the new and improved, and larger, Hela's isn't for another month, but I do a soft launch and host Edie's bridal shower two days before the royal wedding.

Only women are invited, just like I imagined, and we have an amazing time.

In the months since I moved permanently to Laandia, Battle Harbour hasn't gone through a massive transformation, but the changes have begun.

Waves, a new Maritime steakhouse, will be opening in another few months, and Valhalla, the new bed and breakfast, is already full of guests for the royal wedding.

Laura Schmidt runs it for me.

Along with my new businesses, King Magnus has taken to scheduling monthly meetings with me, to pick my brain about what else Laandia could use. He talks about putting me on the payroll, but I haven't agreed yet.

Apparently, being an influencer has taught me to look outside the box for new opportunities .

Ground will break for the observatory next year, and Silas has been part of all of the planning. He's very happy about it.

He's not very happy when I drop my shoes.

My heels clatter onto the floor, and Ernie the cat ricochets off the couch. "Fenella?" Silas calls sleepily from the bedroom.

"Sorry!" I giggle because having an amazing time with a group of women involves a great many shots and pink cocktails.

I hear his chuckle. "Was it fun?"

"So much fun." Because he's awake, I stop trying to be quiet, and when I enter the bedroom, I flop on the bed beside him. "I missed you, though."

"I doubt that, but thanks." His arms wrap around me and I snuggle in.

Life with Silas hasn't been a great transformation, but it has changed me. I gave up my influencer sponsorships and rarely go on social media now, especially since I hired Wyatt to manage my accounts. He knows my brand as well as I do.

I also give him a ten-thousand-dollar bonus when he serves at Hela's for me, to help pay for his tuition when he goes to school in Montreal. It pays to be a billionaire.

Even though it doesn't pay very well to work at Carrington, my father pays me a consulting fee, and when I brought my latest ideas to him—a line of toy cars marketed toward girls as well as a racing school for women—I also asked for a raise.

I'm headed back to Los Angeles after the wedding .

And this time Silas is coming with me because he decided he can't be without me for the week I'm away.

I hoped that would happen because I didn't want to be without him.

It's a lot of fun being a billionaire these days.
