First Love
Amelie Cavanaugh has faced many hardships in her life. She was orphaned at 8 years old, ran away with her brother from foster care at 14 years old, and constantly worked to achieve her goal of the university. Just when her life is going to plan, life is turned upside down one blustery November day as her brother is injured during a football game. Billionaire Dr. Nathan Michaels is next in line to take over Michaels Investment Group as his grandfather, Carrington Michaels, is retiring. The problem is that the board members think his playboy ways need to be in line for the CEO position. Solution: Carrington Michaels tells Nathan he has 6 weeks to get married, or he will lose the company. A chance sighting of the stunning brown-haired Amelie in the hospital cafe sends Nathan's world into a spin, but when he turns around after receiving his order, she is gone. Who is she? Where did she go? How can he make her his? Will it even matter when a dark family secret involving both families could threaten any chance of happiness?

The Billionaire's First Glance Chapter 106 – Rescue Part I
Amelie’s POVMy heart sank. I thought they hadn’t seen the flare, so I shot a second one and waited. Then I heard it. The sound of a helicopter coming closer.“Morgan!” I shouted. “The helicopter is getting closer!”“Fuck yes!” Morgan yelled. Then she ran off to wake up Kimmy.I then saw the spotlight searching the ground. It finally landed on the tail of the plane. Then, the spotlight moved along the body of the plane until it landed on me. I waved frantically. I grinned so widely that I thought my face was going to break. My prayers had been answered.A voice came from the helicopter. Even though they were using a megaphone, I had to strain to hear it over the sound of the helicopter.“We will get you out as soon as possible,” the voice spoke. “We just need to find a place to land nearby. We’ve called for the rescue helicopter.”The helicopter turned and circled away.“Let’s close the door until they come back,” I advised Morgan. “We don’t want to lose too much heat from the plane.”

Nathan’s POVWe’ve been flying back and forth on the grid for 1 ½ hours. We haven’t seen a single clue of where they could be. It’s starting to get dark. I can see the brilliant orange and pink hues of sunset starting to appear across the sky. They are a beautiful warning that we are running out of time for today's search. How can something so spectacular bring me such a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach?“Dr. Michaels, we have about 30 minutes before we have to call off the search,” James spoke.“Push it as long as you can,” I replied. “I want every single second used.”“Yes, sir,” James answered.We continue for another 15 minutes before something is radioed in. A plane wing has been spotted floating in a part of the lake.My heart sinks to my stomach.No. It can’t be. I won’t accept it until I see the plane for myself.“They just sent me the coordinates, Dr. Michaels,” the location specialist Miguel said, “Do you want to head over there or continue on our search?”I have an

Amelie’s POVI’ve makeshift set Nancy’s ankle and fashioned a sling out of a ripped bed sheet for Captain Thomas. The extra credit first aid & survival training I took in high school sure came in handy today. Both Nancy and Thomas are lying on the bed in the back of the plane. They need to relax and stay calm. I gave them some painkillers I had in my bag, hoping they would get some sleep.We have all tried to get reception on our phones to no avail. I even tried the radio in the flight deck.I managed to open the outside door of the plane and made sure it closed back up. If no one finds us right away, it could be a very cold night. Luckily, Kimmy found some extra blankets and towels in the bedroom. I’ve located the flares onboard. There are only three. I doubt anyone would see them during the day. I’m going to hold off on shooting them until it's dark out. It’s cold and snowy, but I’m so grateful that I listened to Nathan and dressed like a snow bunny. I giggled to myself.Oh, Nathan

Nathan’s POVI felt overwhelmed by pain. It was like someone had reached into my chest, pulled out my heart, and held it up in front of me a la Mortal Kombat.“Nathan. Nathan,” Samuel said and shook me.I looked at him in a daze. I heard sounds coming from him but couldn’t make out the words.“For fucks sake, Nathan,” Samuel yelled, “Snap out of it.”The force in his voice cut through the fog. I looked around the room, and the only people left in the boardroom were Samuel, Samira, and myself.“Captain James is on the roof with the helicopter,” Samuel declared. “You better head down to your office and change.”“Thanks, Samuel,” I said, racing out of the boardroom towards my office.Samira followed hot on my heels. She was holding her phone and talking to someone about GPS location. “Get us a map of that area,” Samira demanded. “I don’t care if authorities are already looking. We need the map like yesterday.”“Samira,” I looked at her. “Send the other jet down to Boston as soon as possi
Last Updated : 2025-04-12The Billionaire's First Glance Chapter 102 – Boston, We Have a Problem
Amelie’s POVMarcus & I just picked up Kimmy and Morgan, and we’re on our way to the airstrip. We’re all dressed up like we are going on a ski trip because Nathan insisted we dress warm due to the impending snowstorm in Boston.When we arrive at the hangar, Captain Thomas greets us outside the car door.“Hello, Ms. Amelie,” Captain Thomas said. “We are running about 15 minutes behind because the new mechanic is making minor adjustments to the engine. Nothing out of the ordinary. We should be on our way shortly.”“Sounds great, Captain Thomas,” I replied.“You ladies can wait onboard if you’d like to,” he gestured to the stairs of the plane.“Thank you,” I spoke. “Ladies, follow me!”We head up the stairs and take our seats on the plane. Nancy comes by and asks if we need anything, and Kimmy asks for three glasses and a bottle of champagne.“Kimmy,” I exclaimed, “I really shouldn’t.”“Just one glass, Amelie,” said Kimmy. “You need to build up your tolerance for the wedding. We don’t wa
Last Updated : 2025-04-11The Billionaire's First Glance Chapter 101 – Dinner With Mother
Nathan’s POVFuck. I do not want to be here. I’d rather be at home chilling with my Amelie. She’s right, though; I should try to mend the relationship with my mother. Hopefully, there is something to mend.My father and mother didn’t love each other. It was an arrangement for business purposes. My grandfather on my mother’s side had a lot of financial problems. Luckily, his best friend was Carrington Michaels. My grandfather was desperate for an heir to the Michaels fortune. A deal was brokered, and financial help was given for his daughter's hand in marriage and for her to produce an heir. Their marriage was a disaster from the start, so much so that when I was born, my father had my DNA tested to make sure I was his. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if I had a sibling out there somewhere. My father was a notorious ladies' man, and I heard my parents argue on several occasions about “sluts” in my father’s life.It’s 7:30 pm, and of course, Mother hasn’t arrived yet. Grandfather told

Nathan’s POVI had enough of work by 5:00 pm. Not that I was looking forward to seeing my mother. However, leaving at 5:00 pm would give me the opportunity to head home to see Amelie, and well, I wasn’t passing up on that. I can’t wait to get home.I grabbed my briefcase and headed out of my office.Samira looked over and grinned, “Have a safe drive home. Say hi to Amelie for me.”I chuckled, “Thanks, Samira. You can leave early, too. Great work today.”“Thanks, boss.”I waved goodbye to Samuel through the glass wall of his office. He looked at his watch, raised his eyebrow, and smiled at me. I grinned at him in return.I’m sure he had noticed the shift in my attitude towards work since I met Amelie. I used to work from 7 am to 10 pm most days. Work was my life. Not anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I still get my work done, but I wasn’t going to put in unnecessary hours like I used to. I have delegated a lot of the extra work that I used to handle myself. Samuel has been given a lot of th

Amelie’s POVLunch with the ladies was amazing. We talked about everything and anything. I can’t believe that agreeing to Nathan’s contract marriage has brought so much good into my life. I want to hold on to these relationships forever.Now, Marcus just dropped us off at the bridal boutique. We walk in, and Abigail loses her mind.“Amelie, so good to see you,” Abigail smiled. “Oh my, you brought Morgan Hailee with you. THE Morgan Hailee.”“Hi, Abigail, great to see you too,” I replied. “Morgan is her because we’d like to add her to the bridal party. I hope it’s not too late.”“We can absolutely make it work,” Abigail declared. She turned towards Morgan, “Ms. Hailee, it is truly an honor to meet you.”“It’s nice to meet you, Abigail,” Morgan stated. “I thank you so much for showing Amelie my dress design. She looks exactly like I wanted a bride to look in it.”“That dress was made for her,” Abigail declared. “I’ve never seen a more beautiful bride.”“Abigail, you are too sweet,” I sai

Amelie’s POVLast night, I told Nathan all about Tiff’s breakup with Peter. This morning, he arranged for Captain Thomas to fly down to Boston tomorrow to bring Tiff back to our place. He also arranged for movers to go into her apartment with her tomorrow before Peter came back to New York the day after. Luckily, she talked to her landlord, and he said that she could move out by the end of December with no penalty since the area she is in is in high demand, and the landlord could get a new tenant right away.Everything he is doing for Tiff, solidifies that he is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. He’s honestly the greatest man I’ve ever met. My parents are smiling down at me right now.I just left my session with Dr. Yvonne, and I’m on my way to pick up Morgan and Kimmy for lunch. I can't wait to see them and discuss the options for the bachelor/bachelorette party.“We will arrive in 5 minutes, Ms. Amelie,” Marcus stated. “You might want to text them. We’re almost there

Prologue
“You told me it was over," she spoke. "Do you have feelings for this slut?""I love her. I want to be with her, not you," he replied. "There is nothing you can do to change that.""I don't understand," she screamed, "She is nothing, a nobody. Have your fling like you always do, and be done with her. I am not moving out of the way for that, that woman.""No, you don't understand," he declared. "You never meant anything to me. You were a business deal—a marriage of convenience. I have what I want from you. I fulfilled my obligation. Now I want a divorce." She picked up the crystal vase and threw it in the direction of his head. He moved just in time to dodge it. It struck the fireplace brick and shattered in a ton of jagged shards."ARE YOU CRAZY?" He stared at her, bewildered."You're the one that has lost your mind," she said coyly. "I will take you for EVERYTHING you are worth. Let's see how long it lasts when your reputation is smeared all over the sidewalk.""Are you threatening m...
