#Chapter 71 – Everyone Loves A Good Mystery
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56DORIS I rang the doorbell to Nina's apartment just after lunch. She was practically high because she was buzzing with so much excitement. She was really looking forward to the rest of her day. Her face was freshly scrubbed, and she had a towel wrapped around her head. I gave her a big hug. "I haven't seen you this excited since…well, since you told me you made a gazillion dollar sale on the same day you saw Nathan's muscles," I teased. "I plan to make him drool." "Again," I interrupted. "So I'm glad you're here to help. You keep my nerves in check." "What are you going to wear?" We went into her room and she showed me three different dresses. Each one was completely different from the others. "This one," I said. "It brings out the blue in your eyes." I helped her button up her dress. She looked stunning, and a pang of jealousy tugged at my heart.

DORISWe went to Central Park in the day time but didn’t find any clues.We had to put the Wayne and the strange note on hold because tonight Arthur was throwing a huge gala to celebrate Nathan's big promotion.Everyone who was anyone in business was invited. It was a smart move because it gave Nathan clout. Arthur had gone all out planning the event.It was a glamorous evening. It got lots of press. It was touted as the spectacular event commemorating Nathan's rise to CEO of AmeriCapital.When Arthur, Nina, and I arrived at the ceremony, we were joyful about our friend's outstanding accomplishment."Look at him, Doris," Nina whispered, her voice filled with admiration."Yeah," Arthur said. "Nathan's come a long way. He deserves this."I nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "He truly does. I couldn't be happier for him."The air was fille

DORISI looked out the window of Arthur's private plane.I was sad to leave Norway, but happy that we were about to land in Madrid!The landing was smooth, and we were rested and excited."I can't believe we're really in Spain," Mia said. "I've been dreaming about this my whole life.""You didn't even know where Spain was until last week," Arthur said."That doesn't mean I didn't dream about it," she answered back."Well, I've been dreaming about it too, pumpkin. And I knew where it was."Clearly, Arthur and Mia were just as excited as I was. Arthur didn't tell us exactly what he had planned, but I was sure he had arranged something great.We debarked from the plane, and we all piled into an extra-long white limo with Spanish bulls painted on it.I couldn't help but smile as

DORIS"Is that France?" Mia asked, leaning over her father and pointing out the plane's small round window."That’s Paris, yes," Arthur said."Can we sing French songs and eat French fries?"Arthur and I laughed."Of course, pumpkin."We went to the central park right away, and Arthur asked someone for directions to the carousel in what sounded to me like perfect French."I’m impressed," I said."Don’t be," he responded. “I speak French, Spanish, Hindi, and Mandarin, and I butcher them all.""It sounded pretty good to me," I said."It sounded like blah blah blah blah blah blah to me," Mia said.We found the carousel. It didn’t look exactly like an American one. The animals were more fantastical, like something out of an old-fashioned children’s book.The carousel was also larger than I had expected, much larger.It wasn’t moving, so it was easy to walk past pink lions and purple and blue striped zebras to the octagon-shaped center column.We had to walk around three sides before we fo

Annabel introduced us and then said to her husband, "Let me tell you quickly what is going on."And then, in the fastest French I have ever heard, which sounded like a-shoo-blah bahn-swah-blah, voo-lez-blah, cush-evec-blah to me, except everything sounded like she was speaking through her nose, Annabel caught Anton up on the story and brought him up to speed.Anton and Annabel turned to us and smiled.We all walked into the kitchen."Look at the tiles," Anton said. And I did. They were all very light blue except for six large tiles that were paintings of different famous Paris landmarks, the Eiffel Tower, the carousel, the Louvre Museum, etc."I will go get my tool kit," Anton said.“What are we going to do?" Mia asked.Arthur looked at her. "We’re going to carefully remove the tiles.""How?"

DORISWe were standing outside the hockey arena, but we didn’t go in."What are we waiting for?" I asked."Nathan’s cousin, Jin-hoon, and his family," Arthur said.No sooner had Arthur finished saying that, and we looked up, and there was a man who looked a lot like Nathan. He had the same handsome Korean and French features. When he got closer to us, I could see that his eyes were blue. Whereas Nathan’s eyes were brown."You must be Jin-hoon," Arthur said, extending his hand for a handshake."I am," Jin-hoon replied. They shook hands and then Arthur introduced us, and Jin-hoon introduced his wife, Nancy, and their eight-year-old daughter, Brittney, who was wearing six pink and purple bows in her hair."I’ve never been to a hockey game before," Brittney said in perfect English."You’ll lo

DORISWe got home to New York City just in time for me to change into one of my new performance dresses and get to The Sultan Room. Arthur came with me to the gig.I was singing the last song of my first set when there was a commotion near the door. I looked to see what it was, and when the small group of people parted, I could see it was Lisa Zenya, the hottest actress in Hollywood!During my break, I watched everybody fawn over her, and when somebody came up for an autograph, how gracious she was. During my second set break, she came over to me."You have an amazing voice. I really enjoyed the show so far."I was speechless. To have somebody so famous compliment me was a big surprise. I was probably still a little jetlagged from the return to Europe because my mouth hung open for way longer than was polite, and I didn’t say anything for a minute.Lisa laughed. "I’m serious. You have a great voice. It’s sultry and beautiful and very unique."My eyes widened. I couldn't believe Lisa
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 78 - Dessert Drama
DORISWe were at the Cheesecake Factory having dessert when Mia put her hand on her chest and seemed to have trouble breathing."What’s wrong?" I asked her. Mia's eyelids drooped a little, and she looked woozy."I don’t know, Mommy."Arthur didn’t take any chances. We rushed her to the hospital.Sitting in the waiting room was agony. Arthur’s face was tortured. I held his hand and grabbed it tightly while we waited for news. When they rushed Mia to the emergency room, they told us she was having an irregular heartbeat. That had been an hour and a half ago, and we still hadn’t heard anything new.Finally, an older doctor, a white man with thinning gray hair and large glasses, came up to us."You’re Mia’s parents?""We are," said Arthur."We’ve had to put in a pacemaker to regulate her heartbeat. The surgery went fine, and she’s completely stable. You can see her now. She’s under heavy sedation, and she needs her sleep, but you can go in and sit with her."The doctor took off his gl

DORISMia was taking an after-lunch nap. She looked adorable and peaceful. Her color had gone back to normal.Cathy had called and insisted she would stop by later in the evening. I had decided I would leave before she got here. There was no point in me sticking around. Unfortunately, she arrived two hours earlier than expected, just when I was preparing to leave.“Hello, everyone,” Cathy said in an overly cheery voice. She swept into the room like she owned it.The first thing I noticed was she was wearing an extremely sexy black and silver dress that showed a lot of cleavage.“Auntie!” Mia said, looking extremely happy to see Cathy. “Beautiful darling,” Cathy said, fawning over Mia. “I brought you some gifts.”Cathy opened a big pink shopping bag. "First, my darling Mia, for my brave girl..." Cathy took out a little purple stuffed bear holding a red heart. The heart read, 'My Good Girl' in white letters on the front.I didn’t like that Cathy gave Mia a heart with the words my

DORISI sang, and every song felt effortless.I went to the ladies' room at the break right before the last set, and when I came back out, there were 400 red roses all throughout the performance area. I knew this was Arthur’s doing. How did he get so many vases of roses into the Salton room in such a short time?The entire room smelled like a florist shop and looked like Valentine’s Day had come to the performance.I smiled at Arthur from up on stage and sang every romantic song I could think of.When we finished the last song, it seemed like the applause from the audience was louder than ever. Maybe all the roses put everybody in a good mood.Just as I was about to walk off the stage, Arthur came up and stopped me.“He stood in front of me at the bottom of the stage “This woman is the most amazing woman I have ever seen.”Then he walked up on stage and stood by my side. “Doris, from the first moment I met you, I knew you were special. You captured my heart and became part of my famil

DORISArthur and I exited the elevator of the penthouse and walked across the lobby, arm and arm. We had decided to work from home that morning, and I was happy that we had gotten so much work done.We were almost to the doors of the lobby when Andrea walked in. She was wearing a big cloak that covered her whole body.She opens her cloak to reveal a little baby in a sling strapped to her chest. The boy was swaddled in a light blue blanket. He was adorable.With all that had been going on in our life, I had forgotten that Andrea had probably had her baby by now.“Congratulations," Arthur said stiffly.Andrea beamed.“What are you doing here?“ Arthur asked.“The baby looks so much like you when you were a baby," Andrea said. "It made me nostalgic for when you were a child. All those times before…“ She let the sentence trail off, and I remembered how Arthur’s father died.Arthur must’ve been thinking of the same thing because he grimaced."It was a magical time,“ Andrea said. "And I want

We set up a time to listen to them and decided we liked the first one better.Mr. Owens had an amazing recording studio and sound engineer professional lined up for us to use. I asked if Arthur and Mia would be allowed to come, and the record executives, the sound engineer, and the rest of the band hall said of course. Arthur cleared his schedule.It was an amazing week.We recorded the song. Even though it was hard work, it still went well. I was happy with the initial results, and I was sure it would be a hit.For a moment, it was all I could think about.Arthur and I were lying in bed that night.

In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 97 - Subterfuge at an Italian Restaurant
DORISThe liquor store next to the Italian restaurant had a narrow fake hallway between the two stores. Interestingly enough, there were peek holes in the wall that allowed us to see from the liquor store into the restaurant.This worked out well for us because Nathan, Arthur, and I all got to peek out and look at Nina while she had dinner with Dr. John and Jeff.Nina looked absolutely gorgeous, and Dr. John and Jeff were entranced.We could see Dr. John and Jeff's faces completely and see Nina face in profile. We could hear them clearly thanks to the wire that Nina had stuffed down her bra.She had plied Dr. John and Jeff with liquor and flirtatious comments throughout dinner, staying clear from any serious topics.I perked up when she got to the good stuff."I can get a job with Arthur's pharmaceutical company as they rebuild," Nina said, "and I bet I could find out any secrets and new formulas they have." She let that offer hang in the air. The implications were like a tempting fru

ARTHURMonday morning, I got up while Doris was still sleeping. Despite a wonderful weekend with Doris and Mia, I hadn’t slept well.It had been a month since the fire, and I hadn’t made any progress in finding out who did it.I had my driver take me out to the pharmaceutical company. I stood in front of the charred remains of the original office building, lab, and factory.I had chosen to rebuild on another part of the property, leaving the destroyed buildings as they were as a show of what could happen when I let my defenses down.The sight of the blackened buildings filled me with grief and also a vile rage. The anger was almost too violent to control. My stomach felt like a volcano had taken up residence there and was churning, ready to explode.I had worked so hard on this pharmaceutical business. It wasn’t just the money that I lost having to rebuild that angered me. It was all the people who would have to wait longer before they could get treatment.It was the fact that formula

DORISArthur hauled me against him. He lifted me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist and plastered myself against him."I need you in our bed," Arthur growled. "Right now."He carried me. I was too busy enjoying the feel of his body against mine— a sensation I wasn't sure I'd ever feel again— to pay attention to the elevator ride.I was too busy kissing Arthur’s neck to focus on him unlocking the penthouse, carrying me over the threshold, and kicking the door shut with his foot.Arthur kissed me like I'd been gone for months, not just a day.Arthur spun us, and my back slammed up against the drywall in the entry hall with a force that made me wonder if we left a dent.Arthur pinned me against the wall with his hips. He pulled up my shirt and stared like he couldn't believe I was here with him.His growl made my blood simmer and my breath catch. For the rest of my life, I'd never forget that animalistic sound of want and approval.My nipples hardened. Need roared through me like a

DORISI slept better than I thought I would. I didn’t know what my next step should be. Should I quit Heritage Properties and look for another real estate job?I was jolted out of my reverie when my phone rang. It was a number I didn’t recognize. My first thought was that perhaps it was Arthur trying to trick me, calling from a different number.
