Chapter 17: Paid Wife
By Monday morning there were forty reporters outside Lakeshore Park, and every one of them wanted me to say a price.
They stood three deep at the north gate, microphones up, cameras balanced on shoulders.
A white van had parked across the sidewalk with its satellite dish raised.
Mavis had wanted me to go in through the players' tunnel.
I had said no.
"They'll shout either way," I told her. "I'd rather they shout at my face."
Cade stood behind me in a dark coat with his stitched arm in a sling.
"Say the word and I walk out there first," he said.
"You walk out there second."
"Second."
"With your mouth shut."
"That I can't promise."
I stepped through the gate.
The noise broke over me.
"Sorcha!
"Is it true you were paid two hundred and fifty thousand dollars?"
"Did you marry Cade Ward for money?"
"Where is the contract, Sorcha?"
"Is the marriage real?"
I stopped at the top of the steps with forty lenses in my face.
The cold got into my teeth, and I raised one hand until they quieted.
"Yes," I said.
The quiet cracked.
"I signed a contract.
"I was offered two hundred and fifty thousand dollars over twelve months, and I said yes."
