Jian watched as Amelia and another woman alighted from the car at the parking lot of the five-star restaurant and they went into the place, with smiles on their faces while chatting.He’d followed them from the moment he saw them pull out of DCL’s parking lot. After his father had given him permission to seek out Amelia, he hadn’t known where to begin considering he knew nothing about the woman, except that she was Ryan’s fiancée. But luckily for him, he’d heard the news trolling her for working as his assistant so he’d decided to go in search of her at DCL and was lucky to find her outside at the time he’d arrived.He took his eyes from the closed doors of the restaurant and glanced at the photo of Louise in his hands, still marveling at how much she could easily pass for Amelia if not for the eye color. He wasn’t sure of how to bring up the issue of Amelia’s family to get her to open up to him since they weren’t that close but he was going to find a way and not miss this chance. He

It was the weekend and Amelia was dressed to attend a dinner party with Ryan and Dora at his parent's home. During the week, Clifford and Li na had called Ryan, informing him of the need to host another family dinner to inform the rest members of the extended family of his decision to finally settle down with Amelia and to make it known to them that he’d found a woman.Although Amelia was a bit anxious to meet them, Ryan had assured her that there was nothing to worry about. What scared her more was that his family would reject her after hearing all of the numerous rumors flying around regarding their relationship but Ryan had assured her that as long as he wanted her and his parents already accepted her, the rest of the family had no say in their union. Amelia beamed at her reflection in the mirror, loving how the gold sequined dress she was wearing clung to her curves. It was toe length with a slit that stopped mid-thigh. Ryan had called his designer to bring an array of dresses fo

It was an hour before midnight when Ryan and Amelia finally decided to go home. The night had gone well and dinner with Ryan’s family had been wonderful. The usual hostility that was always flying around and the tense atmosphere wasn’t there. It had all been joy and excitement to have Amelia and Dora with them. Ryan was so pleased with the outcome that he couldn’t keep his smile from his face all evening.By the time they were ready to leave, he bid his parents goodbye, after lightly kissing his mom on the cheek and exchanging a hug with his father. Amelia also got a hug from his parents and from other members of the family, Cora included. Then, they had to peel Dora from Maggie’s grasp as it appeared the two of them were having a great time and weren’t ready to call it a night. Dora had been at the point of tears but thankfully, her grandma had some chocolate in stock for her and that diffused her tears and anger.Then they walked to Ryan's car, which was already waiting outside, wit

Benjamin had tossed and turned all night, his mother’s words plowing his mind. In the past, when he’d fought Ryan for his share of the family’s fortune, he’d done it because he thought the family’s inheritance should be shared and not just bestowed on only one man. But as soon as he’d realized it was an age-long tradition in his family, he easily gave up the fight. But now, with everything his mom had disclosed to him, his anger was burning fiercely. He felt cheated and lied to by his own family. He’d always known Clifford and his wife didn’t really like him but now he understood why.They saw him as a threat that would take away all of the fortunes they’d wrongly claimed but now, he was truly going to become that threat. And this time around he wouldn’t do it publicly. He wouldn’t announce his intentions because he didn’t trust them to not work against him. He was going to act like he was no longer interested in whatever the Davidson’s fortune had to offer. But he’d make sure he got

It’s the weekend and Amelia is in Ryan’s home office, with Ryan. Ryan was going through some of the company’s reports that he’d gotten the previous evening while Amelia was still sourcing for a job. She hadn’t been joking when she’d told Ryan that she didn’t need his help to find one and thankfully, he’d left her to it, allowing her to find her way. It was a bit late and Dora had gone to bed. Gretchen was also gone and it was just the two of them. The house was quiet in a peaceful kind of way and Amelia loved it. She’d just finished applying for yet another job, hoping to be called for an interview. In the past one week, she’d applied to about five different companies but it seemed even her experience from DCL wasn’t going to be enough to do the magic to quickly get her a job. Deep down, worry was beginning to set in that maybe she wasn’t as good as she’d always prided herself and maybe getting a job here in NYC was more difficult than in Texas. But then, it could also be that her ru
