Excerpt
“They
can treat Amy,” I announced, staring blindly out the window. “It’s experimental
stuff, but the doctors are going to do everything they can. It’s not too late.”
Mom
breathed a sigh of relief, and I seemed to feel it more than see or hear it.
“Insurance
won’t cover it, but I told Dr. Abrams that it wouldn’t be a problem.” I looked
back over my shoulder at Mom, confused by the fearful look on her face. Her
cropped black hair looked frazzled and worn, while her blue eyes, Amy’s eyes,
shifted with terror and panic. “What? What is it?”
“Claire,”
she cried, grabbing ahold of my wrist until I sat down in the chair beside her.
“We can’t afford that. We don’t have the money.” The tears started up again,
and I wanted to slap her for lying to me.
“What
are you talking about?” I jerked at her shirtsleeve. “What do you mean we don’t
have the money? Daddy left you a fortune!”
“Your
father only left me with enough to live on until you girls came of age. That
and the house.”
“Came
of age?” I crossed my arms over my chest, while she dabbed her eyes with his
handkerchief.
“The
rest of your father’s wealth is in a trust fund that he set up especially for
you girls. He wanted to take care of the two of you, maybe because he knew that
I couldn’t.”
Wouldn’t
was more like it.
“And
why wasn’t I told about this? This mysterious trust fund?”
“Because
you can’t access it until you turn twenty-one,” she clarified.
“My
birthday’s next week,” I noted, stating aloud what we both already knew.
It
was my twenty-first birthday to be exact.
“I
know.” Her tears dried immediately, as she reached into her handbag to grab her
phone. “I’ll call your father’s attorney. He drew up the contract. I think
there were some other stipulations.”
“What
do you mean?” My frustration resurfaced, while I watched her dial numbers on
the LED touch screen. “What kind of stipulations?”
“In
order to access all of the money in the trust…”
“Yeah,”
I answered, nudging her on. “I have to be twenty-one. What else?”
“I
think you have to be married, too.”
Married?
How could that even be legal?
I
sat down on the floor and held my head in my hands. Everything had happened too
soon, making my world spin out of control. I penned a mental list in my head
that summed up the main points of the day.
Amy
was sick. And her condition, if not treated, was most likely fatal.
Insurance
would not cover the experimental treatments, and Mom didn’t have the money to
pay.
Instead,
my late father’s wealth had been stowed away in a trust, which I would soon
have access to.
As
long as I married. As long as I had a husband. And all the while, Amy’s heart
could be failing.
Money
was the only way to save my sister, and at present, marriage was the only way
to get the money.
I
needed a husband by next week.
And
I didn’t even have a boyfriend.
