Nathan’s POV
I was finding it hard to concentrate on anything today. Yesterday, I ran into the girl of my dreams. “Amelie,” I purr. The taste of her name on my lips was delicious. I had never been affected by a woman like this before. I needed to know her, to possess her, to consume her. I thought of all the things that I would do to her. How my lips would taste every inch of her body. How I would make her cum repeatedly until I was ready to claim her and slam myself inside her. Oh, how I would mark her with my cum. I was rock hard thinking about it, even though I had jerked off twice in the shower this morning to the vision of her face. I couldn’t get rid of the hard-on that had persisted since I met her yesterday.
“Dr. Michaels? Dr. Michaels?”
I glanced up to find Samuel standing in front of my desk. How long had he been standing there?
“Lost in thought?” Samuel smiles.
If he only knew all the sinful things floating through my mind right now, I’m sure he’d be blushing. “Samuel, any information on the little project I gave you?”
“I have it right here, sir.” He reaches over, handing me a folder.
“Thank you, Samuel, that’s all for now.” I grip the blue folder as he scurries out of my office.
Ok, what’s the 411? I open the folder. Let’s see what you’re all about, Amelie Cavanaugh. How do I make you mine? Hopefully, this information will help me to see what makes you tick. I look at the first page in the folder.
Zander Alexander Cavanaugh
Birthdate: December 11 (age 16)
in high school
Football team – Quarterback.
Swim team.
Hmmm, a great student. I glance over the rest of Zander’s file quickly and flip to Amelie’s.
Amelie Jane Cavanaugh (Fuck, I love her name)
Birthdate: September 19 (age 20)
Graduated Honours with distinction from high school. Valedictorian. (Well, well, well. My Amelie is not only gorgeous but intelligent as fuck)
Columbia University – Full scholarship – Business Major with Economics minor – Top of the Class in all courses. (Intriguing, might be helpful)
I skim the other general information about awards, school history, and extracurricular activities.
I flip the page.
Parents – Elizabeth Cavanaugh & Edwin Cavanaugh - DECEASED
Big, bold letters made me gasp. ORPHANED. She lost her parents at 8 years old. My poor baby. Foster homes from 8 – 14 years old. Amelie has been on her own since she was 14. What the fuck! What happened that made her leave foster care? How did she survive with her brother at 14? I ran my fingers through my hair.
“Samira,” I bellow out on the intercom.
“Yes, sir,” Samira responds.
“I need Frank Thompson in my office immediately,”
“Ok, sir. I will let him know right away,” Samira cheerfully says.
Frank Thompson walks through my door 15 minutes later, looking slightly flustered. I give a slight chuckle to myself. Sometimes, I feel like a high school principal when I call people to my office. Everyone is always so worried that they did something wrong.
“Hi Frank, take a seat,” I point towards the chairs in front of my desk. “You’re probably wondering why I called you here.”
“Yes, it’s not every day you’re summoned to the 42nd floor,” he states, a bit stressed.
“I have a special project for you and need your utmost discretion.”
“You know you can count on me, Nathan,” he relaxes his shoulders and leans forward.
“I need you to create a position for university students to shadow my PA for job experience. Set it up as a contest, and the recipient will get $10,000 in school costs. I want the information out today so Amelie Cavanaugh of Columbia University can apply and win.”
“But Nathan…” he says shocked.
I cut him off. “Is there a problem?”
“No, sir, it will be out today.”
“That is all Frank.”
Amelie’s POVI sat with Madison, and we talked for an hour. I asked if she was willing to let Dr. Yvonne see her in the hospital. She thought it would be an excellent idea. I was so relieved. I had already set up Dr. Yvonne to see me at the hospital, so I’m sure she could fit in Madison as a favor.Paul walked back into the room with a tea for Madison, but he had also brought some muffins, pastries, and a couple of bottles of orange and apple juice back as well.“I stopped by to see Nathan and Carrington before I went down,” Paul advised. “He demanded that I feed you as well, Amelie. I am not going to argue with Carrington.” Paul chuckled.“I don’t blame you. I don’t think you would win anyway,” I laughed.“That’s the honest truth, Amelie,” Paul said, taking a bite of a muffin.I looked in the bag and pulled out a bagel with cream cheese and started nibbling on it. I reached for an apple juice, as I didn’t want a repeat of the orange juice episode I had at home.We talked for half an
Amelie’s POVI know this is the right decision to stay with Nathan in the hospital. Dr. Fellows said she would only let me stay if I got checked out thoroughly. I conceded and went to her office. She had the lab run bloodwork to make sure my hCG levels were good. Which they were, in fact, Dr. Fellows said, they were a little elevated. Dr. Fellows treated my wrists and gave me cream for them.I promised her I would eat properly while staying at the hospital.“Amelie, it’s not just yourself you’re caring for, it’s the baby too,” she said, smiling.“I know, I promise I will take care of us,” I stated as I put my hand on my belly.“Good, now go and stay close to your husband,” Dr. Fellows advised. “I have a feeling he knows when you’re in the room.”“Thanks, doctor,” I said and left her office.I went straight back to Nathan’s room, which happened to be the same one Carrington stayed in, way back at the start of our story. I smiled, thinking of how my life had completely changed in a span
Amelie’s POVI was exhausted. I didn’t want to leave Nathan, but I had to admit it. To my surprise, Marcus was out front waiting for me. Dylan wasn’t there, though.“Marcus, you should be resting!” I exclaimed.“I wasn’t hurt, Mrs. Michaels,” Marcus responded. “I was just drugged.”“Still, you should at least have a couple of days off,” I replied. “How is Dylan?”“He’s at home resting,” Marcus stated. “He has eight stitches on his temple.”“Oh gosh, that’s horrible,” I declared.“Dylan was mad he wasn’t allowed to work today,” Marcus chuckled. “I think he’ll fully recover.”“Thank goodness,” I said, smiling.“So I have a surprise for you,” Marcus indicated and opened the door.Logan and Zander rushed out the door and hugged me.“Thank God you’re ok, Ame,” Zander gushed.“I was so scared I’d never see you again, Mum,” Logan expressed.“My boys, how I’ve missed you!” I cried.“Can we see Dad?” Logan asked.“Are you sure?” I said, holding Logan’s face in my hands. “He’s hooked up to a bu
Amelie’s POVCarrington and I headed for the café in the lobby. Once we had our drinks and food, we sat down.“Grandfather, in this whole tragedy. I need to advise you on a few things,” I announced.“What do you need to say?” Carrington asked.“Vivian is dead,” I stated. “So is Franklin Duval.”“What?” Carrington said, shocked.I revealed that Vivian and Franklin were Jonathan’s parents. I also explained that Vivian and Franklin orchestrated the whole kidnapping and how they brainwashed Jonathan and screwed him up all through his childhood. That Jonathan had stabbed his father for trying to sexually assault me, and he had shot Vivian to protect me.“Wow,” Carrington breathed out. “I didn’t even know she was pregnant a second time.”“She seems to be good at hiding things,” I declared. “This isn’t the biggest shocking news.”“How can something be more shocking than that?” Carrington chuckled.“This is huge in relation to you, Grandfather,” I expressed.“Amelie, tell me, you know you can
Amelie’s POV“What happened after you came into the building?” I asked while leaning my head against the car window. “I closed my eyes to brace for death.”“Well, you missed quite a bit,” Detective Anton stated. “After we told her to drop her gun, someone shot Vivian. Initially, I turned around and told off my officers, but they all said they hadn’t discharged their weapons. We turned around to spot Jonathan Adams with a gun in his hand. So, we ordered him to toss the gun away and lie down on the floor.”“Jonathan?” I said, shocked.“Yes, Jonathan,” Detective Anton confirmed. “Then he said, ‘Tell Amelie, thank you for showing me kindness when everyone else tried to use me. I know I didn’t deserve it from her after all the things I did to scare her.’ He sounded really sincere.”Jonathan had saved me. He killed his own mother to save me. I honestly think he was just as fucked up by Franklin as Madison was. Then add Vivian into the mix. The poor guy didn’t have a chance to be normal.“Wh
Amelie’s POVI knew he would come for me. I just knew it in my heart. I would go to the ends of the earth for Nathan, and I know he would do the same for me.“Nathaniel,” Vivian stated. “Stay out of this.”She waved her gun around.“Mother, there is no need to be like this,” Nathan replied. “Amelie is not her mother.”“It doesn’t mean that the daughter can’t atone for her mother’s sins,” Vivian replied.“She’s not responsible for what her mother did,” Nathan said calmly. “Mother, I love Amelie with all my heart. Please don’t hurt her.”“You’ve been brainwashed, Nathan,” Vivian revealed, her hand and her words shaky. “That’s the only reason you think you have feelings for her. Once she’s gone, then you’ll see.”“Mother, put the gun down,” Nathan said as he took a step closer to her.“BACK OFF, NATHAN!” She screamed and waved the gun.Nathan took a couple of steps back to defuse the situation. “Ok, Ok, Mother,” Nathan stated. “Let’s all stay calm. You really don’t want to hurt anyone, j
