Chapter 34
When the wedding ceremony ended they went up to the main house to enjoy an extravagant and delicious brunch, overseen by Raina. For the first time Vee was able to observe her daughter and Sotza together. It was clear that Sotza indulged the girl, had perhaps even grown fond of her, though it was hard to tell. He kept his emotions carefully contained, his face rarely showing his thoughts, though she detected a modicum of warmth in his gaze as he tracked the girl across the room, watched silently while she bossed his staff.
Vee was surprised when Sotza leaned down to tell her that their car was ready. She looked up at him, frowning in question. "Our honeymoon," he explained.
She hadn't thought there would be any kind of honeymoon. She expected him to treat the marriage as more of a business transaction now that the deed was done. She supposed she shouldn't be surprised though, given the fiery nature of their relationship and Sotza's tendency toward the old-fashioned.
