Nathan’s POVThe results came back early the next week. Confirmed. The blood on the fabric was a 99.9% match for paternity. Which meant it had to be a relative of Amelie. Fuck. This psycho was playing a really long game. Almost 13 years long.The good news were no more packages delivered in more than a week. I guess psychos need holidays too. The bad news, the stress had gotten to Amelie, and I ended up taking her to the doctor. She’s currently in bed with bronchitis. Luckily, she seems quite a bit better after 3 days of antibiotics.I took the day off work to spend with her today. Currently, she’s asleep in my arms, which is exactly where she should be.A small knock on the door came.“Come in, Eliza,” I called out.She opened the door, and I put my finger to my lips to signal for her to be quiet. Eliza tiptoed into the room and climbed onto the bed.“Is Mummy better now?” she asked and reached out her hand to gently feel Amelie’s forehead.“Almost, she needs a bit more rest,” I info
Amelie’s POVTo say I was shaken was an understatement. It was so easy for whoever this psycho was to get to Eliza. It literally scared the shit out of me.“Hi, Dr. Michaels and Mrs. Michaels, I’m Detective Volkov,” the officer said. “Detective Anton is away on assignment this week, but he’s filled me in on your situation.”“Nice to meet you, Detective Volkov,” Nathan replied.“Can I meet your daughter so she can answer some questions?” Volkov asked.“Sure,” I responded. “Let me go get her.”I went upstairs to grab Eliza and brought her down to the dining room table.“Eliza, this is Detective Volkov,” I said to Eliza. “He would like to ask you a few questions. You need to tell him the truth and as much as you can remember. Ok?”“Ok, Mummy,” Eliza answered. “Hi Detective Volkov.”“Well, hello there, Eliza,” Detective Volkov said with a smile. “I’m going to ask you a few questions about the man you saw at school today. Is that ok?”“You mean Daddy’s brother?” Eliza questioned.“The man
Nathan’s POVI parked my car and headed up to Tiff’s apartment. I found Dylan sitting outside Tiff’s door and chuckled to myself. At least he was dedicated to his job.“Dr. Michaels,” Dylan said, looking up from his phone. He stood up as a sign of respect.“Thank you for today, Dylan,” I advised. “You’re free to go.”“It’s no problem, Dr. Michaels,” he advised and walked towards the elevators.I always liked Dylan; he had worked his way up from the mail department to high up in the security department at Michaels Investment Group. I knew he was the one to protect Amelie; I think he would literally take a bullet for her. Let's hope it never comes to that.I knocked gently on the door.Tiff barely cracked the door when she answered it. She looked behind herself and stepped out into the hallway.“You need to answer one thing truthful before you get to come in,” Tiff stated, crossing her arms, “and keep in mind I have the ability to take you down. Triple black belt, remember?”I smirked a
Amelie’s POVI was still in shock on the ride home. I can’t wait to get to Tiff’s. She is the least judgmental and smartest person I know. Tiff will look at the situation and tell me the truth, whether I want to hear it or not. Honestly, I’m counting on that. My judgment is clouded and emotional right now. I don’t trust myself to make a sane decision.Tiff opened the door, and I started bawling my eyes out.“Aw, honey,” she said in a soothing voice, then hugged me. “Come in. I have copious amounts of junk food.”Tiff shot a look at Dylan and raised her eyebrow with a ‘who the hell are you look.’“Thanks, Tiff,” I mumbled. “That’s my bodyguard, Dylan.”“Hi, ma’am,” Dylan waved to Tiff.“Hi, Dylan,” Tiff said, smiling. “Would you like to come in?”“That’s ok, ma’am. I’ll just wait out here,” Dylan replied.“At least let me get you a chair, Dylan,” Tiff stated.“That would be greatly appreciated, ma’am,” Dylan responded.Tiff grabbed Dylan a chair, he placed it outside the door, and sat
Nathan’s POVAmelie showed up at the office with Dylan in tow. I met her out in front of my office, next to Samira’s desk. She looked frazzled. I would, too, if I had a guy who tried to sexually assault me, basically stalking me. I hugged her tight and kissed her forehead.“Are you doing ok?” I asked.“As good as can be expected, I guess,” she replied.“Amelie,” Samira said to her as she approached. Samira took her in a gentle hug.“Thanks, Samira,” I needed that, Amelie said.“You don’t have to thank me,” Samira replied, standing there holding Amelie’s hands. “They will get him, and when they do, I will personally cut his balls off. I knew I didn’t like him when he came in for the interview.”Amelie laughed, “I didn’t like him either. He was so creepy from the start.”I ushered her into my office, and she placed the envelope on my desk. We both stared at it.“Do you want to open it?” I asked her.“Sure,” Amelie said, fumbling with the envelope. Inside was a folded piece of paper.ASK
Nathan’s POVI don’t want to move. After the hottest night of sex I’ve ever had in my life, my body is wrapped around my wife. I still can’t believe that I’m saying that. My wife. It’s been less than a month since our wedding, and I feel like I’ve known her forever.Unfortunately, my alarm went off for work. I smack it off after Amelie pokes me to do so.“Kitten, you need to get up to get Eliza ready for school,” I whispered“Five more minutes,” she groggily said.“Ok, five more minutes,” I said, snuggling into her, my morning wood on full display against her ass.“You’re poking me awake,” Amelie giggled.“Sorry, he has a mind of his own when it comes to you,” I chuckled.“I should get up,” Amelie sighed.There was a knock at the door.“Come in, Eliza,” I called.Eliza ran in and jumped on the bed.“Where is Bickie?” Eliza questioned, looking around.“He’s in Zander’s room,” Amelie explained.“Ok,” Eliza replied and took off out the door.“I guess we’re chopped liver compared to Bickie
