“Amelia, meet the entire Davidson’s family,” Mrs. Davidson said, with a smile on her face and her hand holding onto Amelia’s wrist. “Everyone, this is Amelia Ross, and this cute adorable darling here is her child. She’s been with Ryan for a while now,” she announced to everyone, watching the confusing expression on their faces morph into understanding. Ryan stepped forward, circling his arms around Amelia’s waist and not caring that his entire family could see.“She’s the woman I want to get married to, and the mother of my child,” he announced, pressing a kiss to where her neck connects to her shoulder, loving the way she shivered against him from that simple touch. If they hadn’t been in the midst of people, he could have carried on, until she was underneath him, squirming and moaning in pleasure.“Welcome to the family, Amelia,” Benjamin’s mom, Adeline, said cheerfully. Amelia smiled gratefully at her as she stepped forward, pulling her into a warm embrace. “I know it may be overw
It was an hour before midnight when Ryan and Amelia finally decided to go home. The night had gone well and dinner with Ryan’s family had been wonderful. The usual hostility that was always flying around and the tense atmosphere wasn’t there. It had all been joy and excitement to have Amelia and Dora with them. Ryan was so pleased with the outcome that he couldn’t keep his smile from his face all evening.By the time they were ready to leave, he bid his parents goodbye, after lightly kissing his mom on the cheek and exchanging a hug with his father. Amelia also got a hug from his parents and from other members of the family, Cora included. Then, they had to peel Dora from Maggie’s grasp as it appeared the two of them were having a great time and weren’t ready to call it a night. Dora had been at the point of tears but thankfully, her grandma had some chocolate in stock for her and that diffused her tears and anger.Then they walked to Ryan's car, which was already waiting outside, wit
After Ryan and Amelia left the party, the rest of the family began to retire to their different residents as it was getting late and it was almost midnight. Benjamin and his mom, Adeline were among the first to leave after saying goodbye to his sister Cora, her husband and daughter, and Ryan's parents. Benjamin left early because he had to drop his mother off at her house before driving home and it was quite a long way. The entire drive home, Adeline was silent, angry at the success of Ryan's engagement. She had been excited when chaos broke out at his last engagement party, as she had thought it would give her enough time to figure out how to make the rest of the family members understand why Ryan wasn't a good fit as the family heir, but to her disadvantage, Ryan had been quick to fix and clear up the mess that he and his parents had created. Why were Clifford and Li na always so lucky? This question plowed her thoughts, getting her more angry and bitter by the minute. It was so
Benjamin had tossed and turned all night, his mother’s words plowing his mind. In the past, when he’d fought Ryan for his share of the family’s fortune, he’d done it because he thought the family’s inheritance should be shared and not just bestowed on only one man. But as soon as he’d realized it was an age-long tradition in his family, he easily gave up the fight. But now, with everything his mom had disclosed to him, his anger was burning fiercely. He felt cheated and lied to by his own family. He’d always known Clifford and his wife didn’t really like him but now he understood why.They saw him as a threat that would take away all of the fortunes they’d wrongly claimed but now, he was truly going to become that threat. And this time around he wouldn’t do it publicly. He wouldn’t announce his intentions because he didn’t trust them to not work against him. He was going to act like he was no longer interested in whatever the Davidson’s fortune had to offer. But he’d make sure he got
Lara had just arrived at the restaurant she’d picked for her meeting with Benjamin. She’d been surprised to see an email from Benjamin earlier that morning, claiming he had some proposal that would benefit the both of them. She’d never associated with the man and had only met him on the night of Ryan’s surprise birthday party, where they’d only exchanged a few words. What proposal could he have that would be of benefit to her?These were her thoughts when she first saw the email but after careful consideration, she decided to hear him out. Hence, she picked a restaurant for their meeting. She hoped the man was already present as she stepped through the door of the restaurant because as curious as she was to know what he had in store for her, she also didn’t have the time to tolerate tardiness, as she had to ignore her hair appointment just to see him.Thankfully, his face was the first one her eyes landed on when she glanced around the room. He was seated at a corner booth, his eyes
It’s the weekend and Amelia is in Ryan’s home office, with Ryan. Ryan was going through some of the company’s reports that he’d gotten the previous evening while Amelia was still sourcing for a job. She hadn’t been joking when she’d told Ryan that she didn’t need his help to find one and thankfully, he’d left her to it, allowing her to find her way. It was a bit late and Dora had gone to bed. Gretchen was also gone and it was just the two of them. The house was quiet in a peaceful kind of way and Amelia loved it. She’d just finished applying for yet another job, hoping to be called for an interview. In the past one week, she’d applied to about five different companies but it seemed even her experience from DCL wasn’t going to be enough to do the magic to quickly get her a job. Deep down, worry was beginning to set in that maybe she wasn’t as good as she’d always prided herself and maybe getting a job here in NYC was more difficult than in Texas. But then, it could also be that her ru
Ryan’s eyes were locked with hers as he slid the diamond ring into her finger. Seeing the tears glistening in her eyes made his heart surge. He could see the love in her eyes and it spread warmth over him. Having her in his life at that moment made him recall all of the times he’d hurt her. He truly didn’t deserve her but she’d agreed to be with him despite all of the hurt.“I’ll always be with you, Ryan,” she said the words as he rose to his feet, a dazzling smile stealing across her face.“I love you, Princess,” he grinned excitedly, opening his arms for her as she covered the distance between them, wrapping her arms around him tightly as though she’d die if she should let him go. He wrapped his arms around her waist, grabbing hold of her ass and lifting her off the ground until her legs were wrapped around his waist and her arms, around his neck.“I love you,” she murmured in a small voice, resting her forehead on his, her warm breath fanning his lips. “And I’m glad Dora has you,”
The weekend was over and Amelia was hyped for her interview. It was the only invitation she’d gotten after all of the job proposals she’d responded to. She had informed Ryan beforehand that she wouldn’t be going to work that morning as she had her interview and she wanted to start off with a good impression. She was impeccably dressed in her best work outfit and her hair was styled to perfection.“Are you this dressed up for an interview?” Ryan growled dissapprovingly, stepping behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.“Mmhmm…” Amelia responded, putting on her earrings.“You don’t even look this good when we go to work,” he whined, still frowning and Amelia chuckled, turning to face him.“You know that’s a lie and even if it was true, you know how badly I want to get this job and first impressions matters alot,” she tapped his nose, still smiling but it seemed his grumpy side was what she’d woken up to and it wasn’t ready to dissipate.“And you also know that you don’t have t
