River's Pov
I had no idea what just happened but what I could grasp was that I was now dating The Orion Silverfang.
Do I have any idea how this would go? Nope but am I ready for it? Yes. The look I saw on Ryker's face when he realized that I actually knew Orion was gold. He came crawling back and it was a beautiful sight to see him become so desperate that he would go back to eat his words.
I walked down the lonely road as I relived the horrible moments I had with this guy.
It was crazy to find out that he was actually my boyfriend. I dated and loved a man who doesn't love me and finds me disgusting. Always cheating with his best friend and bringing my self confidence at the lowest but gone are those days.
I am River Moonestorm and I am done being the one people look down on. I was going to make everyone eat their words.
I pulled out my phone, as I dialed a number. After a few seconds of ringing,a voice came through the phone.
"River…"
"Jackson…"
"I need a favour from you." I said to him, I could imagine his face. Ever since I moved out from my parents house to New York I had refused to get any help from them. I had worked hard to get what I had but now what I had wasn't enough, I needed more.
"What do you want, sweet sister." I could feel him smirk, "and talk fast, I am kind of busy."
"I need to be put back under our trustfund." I said, I wanted to eat back my words but I knew I couldn't but I will do.
"What is that?" he asked and I rolled my eyes. This was going to be an issue, "is that the great River asking for help?" he asked.
'Just do what i asked and no, I don't need a black card Jackson. Just forward some certain amount to my regular account."
He chuckled, "done…. I hope this is a start to where you will come back home, mum and dad are worried." His voice went low.
I inhaled and exhaled. I hadn't told them about the issues I have been having here in New York, if they actually find out that I had gone from the bright and vibrant she wolf to a dull and desperate attention-seeking bitch. They would smack right across the face.
"dont worry about me< Jackson. I am fine."
"I wasn't." he countered and chuckled. I knew he did but he would always keep that front as the annoying older twin. "call them River. I have to go, your request will be done."
"Thank you Jackson."
He did not respond to the greets as the line went dead. Asshole.
Just then I received a message from my bank. It was an incoming transfer of one million dollars ($1,000,000). I shook my head at the extravagant way Jackson loved to show he cared.
I looked at the money, as I smiled. Guess the fucking plan is in motion but for now, lets get some shoppig done.
I texted Blue to meet me at the mall and she said she would be there in ten minutes.
***********************************************
As we walked around the mall with two carts; one filled with groceries and the others with different clothes, shoes, bags and a lot of stuff.
We passed a channel store and my eyes caught an amazing purse, "I need that." I said
"Do you?" Blur interjected, making me pause.
"Is something wrong?" I asked her.
She shook her head, "not with me, but with you." She said and I looked at her like she had grown two heads. 'River, I know you are heart broken but you can't spend this much. You are not thinking stright." She said to me and I smiled.
I legit forgot that I hadn't told Blue about my background story as i legitly wanted to make friends. I wonder what she would do when I show her my new furnished apartment.
'Blue, it's cool. I am fine and I know exactly what I am doing."
"'You sure?"
I smiled, "if you stop asking questions, I could get you anything in the store…"
Her eyes widened with excitement in them, "well, if you insist, who am I to say no to a request."
I burst into laughter as we walked into the store.
A sales attendant walked up to us and asked what we wanted. I told her to get me the purse at the showcase and anything Blue picked. She bowed and went to bring the bag, while Blue browsed through the store.
"ma'am, here it is." she said, as she stood at the check out with the bag.
"Ahh, it is so pretty….what model is it." I asked if my hand felt good quality leather. Fuck, I miss this feeling.
"This is the Chanel Classic Flap Bag in the colour nude which is going for $15,000"
"Ahh, that's….."
"Not your range"
I was taken aback by the statement. I knew that voice and it was hard to find golddiggers where gold was.
It was Zoey.
I gave her my best smile, "Zoey…."
"River…I guess you made the wrong turn. The thrift store is down the mall."
"River, I found the perfect bag…" Blue came with a black purse which was almost as jaw dropping as the one I wanted.
"Ahh, the entire clan of rats are here." Zoey commented
"What do you want, Zoey?" Blue asked her as she glared at her.
Zoey smirked, her perfectly manicured fingers brushing over the Chanel display like she owned it. "Oh, nothing. Just making sure the charity cases don't overstep."
I took a slow step toward her, my smile never faltering. "Funny, Zoey. I don't remember asking for your opinion."
Blue crossed her arms, glaring. "And I don't remember you being invited into our conversation."
Zoey's smirk wavered, but she masked it with a scoff. "Enjoy playing dress-up, River. We both know you can't keep up with the real thing."
I glanced at the $15,000 bag, then back at her. "Watch me."
