Nathan’s POV

We picked up Zander from Grandfather’s in the late afternoon. He could kind of tell something was wrong with Amelie, but Amelie wasn’t ready to share the details with him. I wasn’t going to say anything because I didn’t want to break her trust. Plus, it wasn’t my story to tell.

Grandfather cornered me in the kitchen. “Nathan, what’s wrong with Amelie? She looked so happy last night.”

“She remembered what happened with Madison on the stairs,” I advised. “Also, there was a situation at the party she went to,” I explained what happened.

“I will make sure he rots in jail, Nathaniel,” Grandfather said with disgust.

“I already promised to make his life a living hell,” I stated.

“Well, now he’ll need to watch out for two Michaels men,” Grandfather declared.

Just then, Amelie walked into the kitchen. “Zander is itching to get home now that I’ve told him Dante is staying with us for a couple of days.”

“I bet he is,” I chuckled.

“Thank you again, Carrington, for last night,” Amelie

  • The Billionaire's First Glance   Chapter 83 – Start the Healing

    Amelie’s POVI never thought I’d be going to see a therapist. Mostly because I couldn’t afford one, but also because I’ve never really thought about myself. I’ve always taken care of everyone else. When I got up this morning, Nathan was already up and getting dressed.“Good morning, angel,” Nathan smiled. “Did you sleep better last night?”“I did,” I responded. “No nightmare last night.”“I have meetings this morning, but Marcus will take you to your appointment. Kimmy and Morgan are going to meet you after the appointment to go for lunch,” Nathan advised. “If you don’t feel like going out for lunch, they will bring you back here and hang out with you until I get back from work.”“Nathan, I don’t need to be babysat,” I said. “I can be alone for a bit.”Nathan walked over to the bed and sat down. “Amelie, you’re not being babysat. Your friends love you. They want to be here for you. If I could stay home with you, I would.” Nathan reached up his hand and cupped my cheek. “If I could tak

    Amelie’s POVAn hour later, I emerged from Dr. Yvonne’s office with a new sense of renewal and encouragement. Dr. Yvonne thought it best to schedule at least a couple of more appointments this week, but I asked her if it was ok if I could come in daily. I knew she would probably be too busy to fit me in, but she said she could definitely fit me in each day this week. I have also booked Monday and Tuesday of next week. I think Nathan had some pull in getting me to see her so soon. I was completely grateful for that, however.Dr. Yvonne is an amazing therapist. I have never been so at ease with a stranger as I was with her. It was like she really listened to me with no judgment. Trust me, I had a lot of things bottled up. I haven’t had the easiest life, but she listened as if I were a member of her own family needing advice and comfort. Her compassion was endless, and she gave me a sense of belonging. Dr. Yvonne’s biggest advice is that you can’t fill someone else’s bucket if yours is e

    Amelie’s POV“Thank you so much, Charlie,” I thanked her. “You made me feel so comfortable and confident today.”“Aw, Amelie, you are a beautiful person inside and out. Remember that!” Charlie declared.We walked down the stairs and to the front check-out counter.“Do you have anything else you would recommend, Charlie?” Morgan asked.“We certainly do,” Charlie answered. “Lotions, perfumes, toys.”“Hey,” Kimmy said. “Where’s the toy section?”“Kimmy!” I exclaimed.“What?” Kimmy feigned innocence and shrugged.“Just this way, ladies,” Charlie led the way.“We have a really nice new line of products that smell like lilies,” Charlie said, pointing at a display. “Back here are the toys.” She pointed to a separate room.“I would like the complete line of lilies products, Charlie,” I advised.“I will grab all of that and bring it to the front. I’m going to start boxing up the lingerie. Please let me know if you need help,” Charlie imparted.“Thank you, Charlie,” Kimmy smiled.Kimmy and Morg

    Nathan’s POVWhen I arrived home, no one was in the living room as I expected. Where is everyone? Then I heard it, the screaming from down the hallway. I distinctively heard Amelie squealing with joy.“In your face, Dante. In your face!” She yelled.I chuckled under my breath. That’s my girl. Competitive and an overachiever.I loosened my tie and headed down towards the sounds. I found everyone in the games room. Zander and Dutton were playing video games while Kimmy and Morgan watched them. Amelie and Dante were playing foosball, and by the looks of it, Amelie was handing Dante a good old beatdown.“Twerkley,” I said. “Another thing that you lose at to a Michaels.”“Amelie isn’t a Michaels yet, stock market,” Dante replied.“That’s just a technicality,” I said. “I’ve already claimed her as mine.”“Nathan!” Amelie blushed hard.I walked over to her and kissed her cheek, and she smiled.“I heard you ladies were out shopping for lingerie today,” I announced.“Really?” Dante said. “Hey

  • The Billionaire's First Glance   Chapter 87 – Off to the Game

    Nathan’s POVI texted Amelie to let her know that all of us guys were heading down to the lobby. Dante needed to pick up his keys to his mailbox and the temporary PIN code to his door. Then, we would wait down there for the ladies to arrive before getting in the limo to head to the game.We were down there about 10 minutes before the elevator doors opened to signal the ladies’ arrival. I was not prepared. I mean, so not prepared for what walked out the elevator door.Amelie was wearing a sequin Rangers jersey that looked like a mini dress, knee-high white boots, and a red cropped bomber jacket. She had her hair up in a high ponytail, and I swear my eyes bulged out of their sockets. Both Dutton and Dante looked up to see what I was looking at.“Wow,” Dutton said.“Fuck, that’s hot,” Dante exclaimed.“Hey, that’s my sister you’re talking about,” Zander replied.“Hey, that’s my fiancée you’re talking about,” I declared.“Great, now I have two possessive people to watch out for,” Dante ch

    Nathan’s POVAfter watching the pre-skate, everyone mingled, ate, and drank.“The game hasn’t even started, and this is so much fun,” Zander stated.“I’m glad you’re having so much fun,” Amelie smiled.“I am Ame. I can’t believe we get to do stuff like this now,” Zander uttered.“It’s not always like this, Zander,” I said.“I know, but we didn’t get to do anything like this when we were growing up,” Zander declared. “We had to watch every single penny. It was either do stuff or eat.”“That must have been difficult,” I replied.“It was, but honestly, Ame was amazing. The dedication and love that she put into everything really taught me to be the best version of myself that I could be,” Zander said. “Although it was hard times, Ame made me feel happy, and I’ve had more love showered on me than anyone I know.”I looked at Amelie, and she had a huge grin on her face.“Oh, Zander, you’re the best brother ever,” Amelie said, reaching out to hug Zander tightly.“Hey, if you’re giving out fre

    Nathan’s POVTuesday, T minus 12 days until Amelie and I say I do. I think the combination of knowing that and last night's win by the Rangers is fuelling my happiness this morning. When I woke up, I expected Amelie to be sleeping, but when I rolled over, she was already out of bed. I hope it wasn’t due to a nightmare or anything. I got up to use the washroom and realized the shower was running, and once again, Amelie was singing at the top of her lungs. I chuckled to myself. I headed to the closet to grab my clothes to lay out on the bed.I heard the shower turn off, so I went and knocked on the door.“Amelie, are you going to be long?” I asked.“Just a couple of minutes,” Amelie replied. “Just drying off, and I’ll be out.”I sat on the bed and checked my phone while I was waiting. There was a message from Samuel.Samuel: it looks like Amelie is the talk of the hockey world today. Check out the link.I pressed the link, and there she was, front and center on a hockey Instagram page.

    Amelie’s POVAfter breakfast, Nathan had advised Marcus to drop me off at Dr. Yvonne’s before continuing to the Michaels Investment Group building.“Marcus will be back in an hour to pick you up,” Nathan advised. “He can take you home, and then if you feel like coming into work, you can change and come in.”“I am coming in,” I replied. “I need to speak with Simon. I was hoping to get started on the dog rescue project. Plus, I wanted to ask Samuel about the wedding.”“Really?” Nathan shook his head and smirked. “Always on the go and busy. Such an overachiever.”“Well, isn’t that a prerequisite to become a Michaels?” I giggled.“Touche, Amelie,” he smiled.The car pulled up in front of Dr. Yvonne’s building.“No need to get out, Marcus,” I said, reaching for the door.“Have a good session, Amelie,” Nathan said.“I,” I sputtered out, “ummmm….will.”Oh, my goodness, did I almost say, 'I love you'? It’s becoming increasingly difficult to suppress the feeling building inside me.Nathan laug

    Amelie’s POVIt feels like I’m dreaming. Nathan loves me. I’m on cloud nine.We are standing at the end of the bed kissing. It sounds strange, but the kisses feel different. They feel more powerful, full of emotion and passion.Nathan ran his hands down my sides and turned me around so my back was facing him. He slowly started unclasping my corset. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I was nervous. He made quick work of the corset and dropped it to the floor. Then he hooked his fingers under the sides of my lace thong and pulled them down my legs.I stand, my back exposed to him. He lingered kisses down my back as I shivered with excitement. He stepped back.“Turn around, Amelie,” He purred. “I want to devour you with my eyes.”I turned around slowly. My body was on display for him.His gaze was fixated on me, and he licked his lips.“Perfection, my love,” He said. “I’ve waited so long for this. My body has ached for you.”He picked me up, moved to the side of the bed, and gently

    Nathan’s POVAt the same time and with the same words, we spoke.“I need to tell you something.”We both look at each other. How weird is it to say the exact same thing at the exact same time?“Ladies first, Amelie,” I said.“Are you sure?” Amelie asked.“Yes, please. What do you have to tell me?”“Nathan, I’ve been trying to find the words to tell you something for weeks. “ I finally found the words, but then I lacked the courage,” Amelie said, turning to me. “Now I think I have both. I need to say it, regardless of the outcome, because I can no longer live with this secret. I can’t keep it secret for the next three years. I can’t let it consume my heart.”Amelie looked down at the ground and wrung her hands together. Her head bowed like a scared little kitten.“Amelie,” I said, lifting her chin and gazing into her eyes. “You know you can tell me anything, right?”“I know,” Amelie spoke. “It’s just hard to put into words.”I reach for a stray piece of hair on her face and tuck it beh

    Nathan’s POVAfter the garter and bouquet toss, I excused myself to head to the washroom. Fuck. I swear, as I gripped the garter with my teeth, I could smell Amelie’s arousal through her lace panties. It drove me fucking primal. I have never wanted a woman as much as I want her. I’m praying she feels the same way when I tell her tonight.I came back to the reception and found my mother talking to Samuel. He looked really uncomfortable, so I started walking towards him, but before I could intervene, Tiff swooped in.“Sweetie,” Tiff said, grabbing Samuel’s arm. “Can we dance now?”Samuel looked at Tiff and smiled. “Vivian, do you mind if I leave you so I can dance with my girlfriend?”“Girlfriend?” My mother asked.“Yes, Tiff is my girlfriend,” Samuel grinned.“Oh, go ahead, you two,” Mother responded.Tiff dragged Samuel off to the dance floor.“Mother,” I stated as I walked up to her. “Are you having a good time?”“Yes, Nathaniel. It’s a lovely wedding,” she expressed.I glanced over

    Nathan’s POVOf course, Zander had to be infatuated with the daughter of a Mafia Don. The only saving grace was that Isabella would be leaving for boarding school in England after the New Year. Now, however, is not the time to think about that. I want to concentrate on Amelie.“Oh my gosh!” Amelie exclaimed. “The cake is amazing!”Patricia was standing there and smiled widely at Amelie’s comment.“I’m so glad you like it, Amelie,” Patricia acknowledged.Amelie, of course, had to hug Patricia.“What layer is the chocolate?” I asked.“It’s the middle tier,” Patricia responded. “I thought that would be the tier you would want to cut since it’s your mom’s recipe.”“Oh, Patricia, that’s so incredibly thoughtful of you,” Amelie expressed.“Now the big question is, smush or no smush?” I laughed.“Well, I would say no smush for Amelie. We don’t want to get any on her dress,” Patricia said. “Maybe a little smush for you, Nathan. Then Amelie can kiss it off?”“That works for me,” Amelie giggled

    Amelie’s POVI couldn’t believe Carrington had done that for me. My dream of giving back to the community was coming true.I returned to my seat, and I was literally shaking from emotion. Nathan knew just what to do. He hugged me tight.“I know this is overwhelming,” he said. “Just center yourself and let the emotions out.”Nathan always knew what to say to make me feel better. I clung to him, and he held me as if he would never let me go.“Feeling a bit more level?” Nathan asked.“Yes, thank you. It’s just so much,” I replied.“I know. Grandfather can be over the top sometimes,” Nathan stated.“Oh, really? I know a certain someone who seemed to pick up that Michaels trait as well,” I giggled.“Guilty as charged,” Nathan chuckled. “Are you ready to make a brief statement to our guests as a couple? I’ll do all the talking if you’d like.”“Yes, my hubby,” I advised.“Ok, my wifey,” Nathan responded.We walked up to the podium.“Hi, Everyone, my wife,” Nathan paused and smiled at me, “an

I took a quick look around as Desiree finished the finishing touches. The room looks spectacular, and the lighting gives off an icy blue hue. My glance is brief, though, as the only thing I want to look at right now is Nathan. He is smiling the biggest grin I’ve ever seen. He’s also staring at me.We make our way to the middle of the dance floor. The dance floor looks like ice. It’s raised plexiglass with blue underlighting.Nathan twirls me out and then pulls me in close. "At Last" by Etta James starts u

I couldn’t wait to get back to his sister, however.Tonight is going to be amazing. I already decided I’m not going to drink much at the reception. I want to be sober when I tell her how I feel tonight. I’m really hoping she feels the same way, or at least is starting to feel the same way. I won't pressure her, either. It doesn’t matter about the sex. I'd love to be with her, but I’m willing to wait until she’s ready because I want her first time to be special. Amelie deserves that.Zander and I are walking back from the garage, and I can’t help by feel giddy that I can hug Amelie when I see her.We walk into the grand hall, and I look around.

I pounced on her, hugged her, and kissed her aggressively. I swear she swooned because it felt like I was holding her up.“Hey!” Grandfather said. “Save that for the wedding night!” Then he laughed.Amelie and I broke apart, both of us breathing rapidly.“Well, we should get on our way,” I advised. “Your style team is waiting for you at the hotel. Did you decide when you want to change your dress?”“Desiree basically said that they will announce our entrance, and we can have our first dance,” Amelie advised. “Then they will have a short welcome speech for everyone.” I’ll run off with Morgan to change quickly into the second dress.”“That sounds perfect,” I replied. “I love you in this dress.

The style team is waiting in the room to refresh your makeup and hair for the photos.“Oh, thank you, Carrington,” Amelie stated.“Ahem,” Grandfather looked at her.“I mean, Grandfather,” Amelie smiled and kissed him on the cheek.“That’s more like it,” he grinned.Amelie kissed me on the cheek and headed for the dressing room.“So,” Grandfather said. “How do you feel?”“Like a trillion dollars,” I grinned.“Amelie is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime girl,” Grandfather announced. “Oh, by the way, the surprise gift you got Amelie for Christmas was just delivered.”“Fantastic!” I said joyfully. “Amelie will be over the moon.”“I’m sure she will,” Grandfather replied. “I have a special present for her, too.”“You do?” I questioned.
