Two Weeks Later
Y/N IS NEXT TO ME at the conference table, chewing on her lower lip, eyes fixed on the doorway.
I take her hand in mine and can't help but smile as I admire her ring. She's worn it since our Vegas wedding, but its significance means more now that she's said yes to my proposal.
It was meant to be when I saw the old Yaga house for sale a couple of months ago. I purchased the property from an investor who was eager to sell. While remodeling a house in that timeframe is nearly impossible for most people, being a billionaire has its advantages. With access to expedited permits and fast-tracked labor, along with a network of connections through Stafford Holdings, I made it happen.
Luckily the contractor was able to revise the plans to adjust for how Y/n described the place, allowing us to turn it into her dream home.
Once I saw the outcome, it felt like the right place to pop the question. Something tells me we'll spend a lot of time in Aspen Grove, so I'm glad we now have a house there to call our own.
"Don't worry," I whisper in Y/n's ear. "Everything will be fine."
"I know it will." She squeezes my hand.
Tomoe and Akira occupy the seats on my right, with Sukuna and Nanami on Y/n's left. Today, the Gojo Holdings and Geto International acquisition is being finalized. We all flew into New York because it was the most central location.
My phone buzzes, and I discreetly take it out of my pocket.
Mom's Favorites Group Chat
Mom: Is the deal finalized yet?
Ari: Yeah, it's so not fair that Tomoe wouldn't let me be there.
Mom: Sweetheart, you don't work for Gojo Holdings.
Ari: I know. Last night I was seriously tempted to temporarily quit Sinclair Group and join the company for the day so Tomoe couldn't deny my request.
Mom: That was a clever idea.
Ari: I know, right?
Satoru: Are you two done? F/n will be here any minute and I can't be distracted.
Ari: Can't you give us a play-by-play?
Satoru: No.
Mom: Your brothers didn't text me back this morning. Will you please tell them to reply?
Satoru: Mom, we're literally about to finalize a major business deal.
Mom: I didn't mean right now. Just as soon as the meeting is over.
Ari: Just tell Mom you'll do it, or she'll never stop.
Y/n looks over my shoulder at my phone, chuckling when she reads the text thread on the screen.
"How do I get added to that group chat?" she chuckles. "Your mom and Ari are so entertaining."
