Amelie’s POV

Marc VanHutton has game. He knows what to say and when to say it. It must work wonders on tons of women, but I see right through him.

“So, Amelie. When are you going to come model in one of my shows?” Marc asked.

“Marc, I’m not a model. I just did Morgan’s show because she’s a good friend,” I answered.

“That’s a shame,” Marc pouted. Not working, Marc.

“Morgan, I think I’m going to head home,” I advised. “I’m still feeling a bit tired from that flu I was battling.”

“I can give you a lift,” Marc offered.

“No, that’s ok, Marc,” I stated. “I’ll just call my driver.”

“Nonsense, it’s no trouble at all,” Marc said, flashing a charming smile.

“Really, it’s not necessary,” I replied.

“I insist,” Marc pushed.

He’s really not getting the hint.

“Hey, we’re going to head home,” Dante said, walking up to us. “Amelie, are you ready to leave? We could give you a ride.”

I turned to Marc and said, “There, problem solved. Dante lives in the same building as me. I’ll catch a ride with him an

  • The Billionaire's First Glance   Chapter 242 – Frantic Message

    Nathan’s POVWe landed at the airport and I turned on my phone. Hopeful of a message from Amelie. There wasn’t one, but there were 15 other messages. What the fuck?I punched in my code, and it felt like I was punched in the stomach.Lucas had left a frantic message. I couldn’t really understand him because he was babbling, although I did make out the words danger and Amelie. I called the concierge desk of the building.“Dr. Michaels, thank God you called,” Lucas declared. “There has been an incident.”“What kind of incident?” I said, sitting up straight in my chair. Grandfather looked over at me.“Mrs. Michael went out to catch the limo. Dylan was standing outside the door. I went to the back office and I heard a gunshot,” Lucas advised. “I ran out to the front door. It all happened so fast.”“What happened, Lucas?” I growled out.“A man stuffed Amelie in the limo,” Lucas exclaimed. “Then the limo drove off. I called 911.”“Was Amelie shot?” I demanded.Zander, Lucas, and Grandfather

    Amelie’s POV“Well, that’s my cue to leave,” Morgan giggled. “Hey, why don’t I pick up Eliza and take her out for supper?”“That would be wonderful! Eliza is going to be thrilled,” I replied. “Let me tell Trudy.”I quickly texted Trudy that Morgan was going to take Eliza for supper.Morgan helped me pack up everything so we could put it back in my closet.“If you have a few hours this week, I would love for you to come over and read the rest of the letters with me,” I stated.“Absolutely!” Morgan said, smiling. “I want to be there for you and help you get to the bottom of everything.”She then hugged her goodbye and headed to pick up Eliza.I quickly changed into my pink wrap dress that Nathan loves so much and put on the camel colored knee high boots. I tied my hair up in a ponytail and touched up my makeup. I was so excited to see him.My phone rang, and I smiled, thinking it was Nathan. Oh, it’s Madison.“Hey, Madison,” I said cheerfully. “What’s up?”The line was all filled with s

  • The Billionaire's First Glance   Chapter 240 – It Was Only A Kiss

    Nathan’s POVI’m just itching to get on the plane and back to Amelie. It’s been agony without her. It’s only been three nights, but it feels like three years.I can’t wait to wrap my arms around her, to breathe in her scent, and to be inside her. Fuck. I’m getting hard just thinking about it. Stop Nathan. You need to take the boys for lunch before you go to the airport.“So did you guys decide where you want to go for lunch?” I asked.“Well, would you do a taco truck?” Logan answered my question with a question. “I saw one on the food TV show, and it’s supposed to be the best one in the country.”“Let’s do it then!” I replied. “What’s the location?”Logan shared the location with my phone, and I advised the driver.“I love tacos,” Grandfather piped in.“Really?” I asked. “I don’t think I’ve EVER seen you eat a taco before.”Grandfather gave me the look, we both looked at each other, and then burst out laughing.“I’ve had my share of tacos,” Grandfather smirked.“Sorry, I was mistaken,”

    Amelie’s POVStacks of letters, jewelry, and other keepsakes poured out of the back of my mom’s jewelry box. I didn’t even know the back panel came off. I picked up a picture that had fallen out.Why is my mom kissing Uncle Billy? My heart dropped to my stomach when I realized something. If he were really my Uncle Billy, wouldn’t he have taken us in when my parents died? I scrambled through all of the hidden contents looking for other pictures.Picture of my mom and uncle Billy at the beach.Picture of my mom and Uncle Billy at a restaurant. My mom is holding up her hand, showing off the ring I’m wearing.A picture of my mom holding Zander in the hospital, and me sitting on the bed. Uncle Billy is standing behind me.What in the actual fuck is going on?I pulled out the stacks of letters and sorted through them. They are all dated. I searched for the earliest one.Elizabeth,I don’t know how to express how happy I was to meet you today. It’s like a ray of sunshine has entered my life.
