11 - Nathan

“She is young enough to be taught and molded to our lifestyle. Also, if you are as good in bed as rumors proclaim she will be less likely to cheat on you and have illegitimate children provided we train her properly. That we need to prevent at all costs.” I don’t even know what to say to my grandfather’s words. Now, I need to seduce her and be good enough so she doesn’t cheat on me, but train her to deal with me sleeping with other women because I am allowed to be unfaithful, but she isn’t. That's his biggest concern for this 18 year old child.

“She will be well provided for and her father’s business will be taken care of for the foreseeable future, it’s a win for all of us.” Again, my uncle chiming in with his fake sunshine and rainbows as if his opinion matters in the slightest.

“Do we know how she feels about this whole thing?” I can’t explain why I care, but I do. She’s barely an adult. “How long will I have to get to know her and propose?” I’m barley entertaining t

  • The Last Minute Bride   42 - Aurora

    42 - AuroraThe car stops. I don’t remember the turnoff. Or the driveway. Or the gates opening. I only realize we’ve arrived when the door opens and Nathan’s standing there, his hand outstretched. He looks so angry though, I don’t take it. I climb out on my own. I hear him huff his annoyance. We walk up the front steps like strangers—like ghosts of two people who could’ve been something softer. He opens the door and holds it without looking at me. I step inside.He closes the door, clicks the lock.The foyer lights are low, casting golden shadows across the marble. My mind is starting to settle back into normal. I haven’t had panic hit me like that in a long time. I know I should say something. Anything. Apologize? Explain? Thank him? I can’t remember how words work. I turn to silently follow him to the stairs that lead to our hallway.“I didn’t mean it,” I say, but my voice still shakes. “I just… I panicked. I thought maybe this wasn’t real.”He stops at the base of the stairs, white

  • The Last Minute Bride   41 - Aurora

    41 - AuroraI have to keep reminding myself I am mad at Nathan. I shouldn’t have to remind myself of that. I noticed the way he kept looking at me all through dinner, but I had nothing to say. This is all for show and that’s what he got, us sitting pleasantly at a table enjoying a meal made and served by his friends and being visited by the owner and all of the most important staff. There, I did my job, we were seen and caught the paparazzi’s eye. So why can’t I pull my hand from his? I’m following a man I barely know, who is following a woman I just met, but strikes me as the one person in this building to not mess with, to an undisclosed location because of one photographer and reporter who asked about rumors. What rumors could be circulating? We just got married yesterday.I need to get my head examined. The decisions I have been making over that last week are not anywhere near my norm. I’m a planner, I am predictable, I have schedules and a five year plan. Well, I had a five year

  • The Last Minute Bride   40 - Nathan

    40 - NathanI feel her shiver as I talk low in her ear to keep nosy listeners from overhearing. It gives me a sick satisfaction since she has been avoiding me all day. I almost jumped out of my skin when I found out Lana and Joel took her out to lunch. Lana was smart enough to take her security team, but I don’t trust Keanna or my uncle. They will try something, and until they do, I’m stuck waiting and anticipating the worst. I just got Aurora back in my life. I will not let them jeopardize it.I’m not surprised she called me out for the point of being here, she wasn’t completely wrong, this restaurant is designed to see and be seen. But, I intended to get ahead of whatever my ex is planning. I want pictures of Aurora and I out together. I want the rumors of a shotgun marraige or whatever story they are going to spin out in the public. I would put money on Sullivan, Preston or Keanna showing up here tonight. Word travels fast in our circles and information can get you in with the righ

  • The Last Minute Bride   39 - Aurora

    39 - Aurora“You know you’re allowed to talk to me, right?” That low, commanding voice pulls us out of the awkward silence we have settled into. I have no idea where we are, but it doesn’t look the same as the drive in.“I’m not sure what you want me to say, honestly.”“My wife should be able to talk to me about anything. Like your day, the office, or your opinion on your staff.”“I’m only your wife on paper. Most choices aren’t mine to make.” I look back out the window. I had actually forgotten about this morning until right now. It settles a cloud over me. He’s been distant, but polite today. I know he told me to use his office, but I didn’t want to be a bother or anywhere near him. He affects me in ways I don’t understand. I am so distracted simply knowing he’s in nearby room and he was able to go about his work without glancing my way once like nothing life altering had happened to us the day before. “That doesn’t sound like the woman running a Corleone boardroom.” My head snaps

  • The Last Minute Bride   38 - Aurora

    38 - AuroraLana and Joel are amazing. I don’t think I have ever laughed this much with coworkers ever. I know Nathan offered his office to me, but I haven’t stepped foot in there yet today. I feel a deep sense of gratification that I am frustrating him and he can’t or won’t show it here. Here he is stoic and quiet. Watching him observe and listen to his employees has been fascinating.Lana set me up behind the dual desk setup she and Joel have. This thing is probably custom made for this space. They each have their own work station, but the center of the long desk is open to allow others to pull up a chair and collaborate or to spread out large documents and blueprints to study.I’m not doing anything, but Lana has a running commentary for me on the inner workings of the office, what projects are in production now, what is is the works, negotiations, and all the things she does for Nathan on a daily basis. Joel interjects the business talk with all the Tea you could possibly imagine.

  • The Last Minute Bride   37 - Nathan

    37 - NathanI watch her walk through the atrium of Westfield Enterprises from the comfort of my office. She shut her door in my face this morning. I have never had a woman shut a door in my face…ever. I don’t get dismissed. After talking with my grandfather, I left the house. He and my uncle need to go, they are going to be nothing but problems for Aurora and I and clearly Keanna has her hooks in them, so she is going to add to the irritation. Aurora’s trust in me is hanging by a thread. It was never going to start strong based on how she came to be mine, but she is mine now and this pull in my gut tells me, I will do whatever it takes to keep that claim on her. I fist the arm of my chair watching Theo touch what’s mine. I know I am paying him and Jessie to tail her every move and keep her safe when she isn’t with me, but I’m going to have to have a conversation about proximity. Her smile is the only thing that keeps my ass in my chair. It’s genuine and bright, the same smile she ga

  • The Last Minute Bride   36 - Aurora

    36 - AuroraMia made sure I have every outfit in my closet available to me, but Demitri and the three guys following him don’t look the slightest bit irritated at schlepping up bag after bag to my room. None of them bat an eye at my living arrangement either. My guess is they understand the arrangement that Nathan and I have or they are paid well enough not to mention it.Normally I would put on all black and slick my hair into a low ponytail. All business, but can easily transition into dinner and drinks. Today, though, I feel the need to insert my personality today and I have a feeling there will be a fifty fifty split on whether people at the Westfield Group like me or not. That thought alone has me dancing around my room as I get ready.I choose a vintage jumpsuit with a sheer black sleeveless bodice that has black polka dots all over it and a red sweetheart cami under. The pants are these fantastic, high waisted palazzos accented with three large red buttons on each side of the c

  • The Last Minute Bride   35 - Aurora

    35 - AuroraSo the view from the balcony doesn’t suck. I’m not used to all of this fresh air, but it won’t take me long to get comfortable. That scares me more than I want to admit to even myself. Jessie has been great so far. She brough me my new phone, complete with all the apps and contacts from my old one and so many staff phone numbers, I wonder how helpless three grown men living together really are.It is so nice today and I do enjoy the opportunity to relax. I have been a workaholic for as long as I can remember, but this might last one more day before cabin fever sets in. I hope Nathan doesn’t make a big deal about me wanting to work. I mean, we met on a work trip. Those thoughts take my mind down another path completely. On the one hand, it was the most wreckless and fun thing I had done as an adult and on the other, I relaize he knew who I was all along. He knew I was a part of Lady C’s team. Did he think I was like Lady C and Mallory and thats why he wanted to sleep with m

  • The Last Minute Bride   34 - Nathan

    34 - NathanI walk away, leaving my grandfather pretending to ignore me. I know what Aurora can do. I wonder if he even remembers her or realizes who she is? She’s the reason our merchandising sector has done so well. She’s been the liaison running all of Lady Corleone’s overseas suppliers and warehouses. I wonder what they are doing without her? Mallory is dumber than a box of rocks and won’t be able to run a thing without Aurora. I freeze on my way back up to our bedrooms. I think I know how to make this better. The question is will she give me a chance? She thinks I want Keanna here. She thinks I am no better than Sullivan and Preston. I decide to leave her alone and talk to Jessie first. I need more information and something tells me my wife’s personal assistant is leaving out important details. I relax in my office seat as I pull out my phone.“Hey, Boss.”“How is she?”“You’re asking, so you already know the answer to that question.”“Don’t play with me Jessie. Keanna is gone a
