last update Last Updated: 2025-03-14 04:26:33

Amelie’s POV

We arrive back at the hospital after another wonderful helicopter ride. I am so thankful for everything Nathan did for me today. I feel so relaxed and centered. I also feel so much more connected to Nathan. Spending time with him is so easy. I fall more for him with every minute I’m in his presence.

“Amelie,” Nathan said, holding out his hand to me, “are you coming?”

“Of course,” I answered.

He leads me down the stairs from the roof and into the elevator. We arrive at the VIP ward just in time to see Dr. Carrera standing at the ward desk.

“Dr. Carrera,” Nathan exclaimed.

“Ahh, Dr. Michaels, and Ms. Cavanaugh, just the people I want to see.”

“Hi, Dr. Carrera,” I said nervously, “Please tell me everything is ok with Zander.”

“Ms. Cavanaugh, everything is excellent with your brother.” He replied. “Zander came through the surgery with flying colors.”

I jumped and hugged Dr. Carrera, “Thank you so much! I owe you everything!”

“Amelie, don’t break the surgeon,” Nathan laughed.

    Nathan’s POVI have to admit I miss Amelie. I haven’t seen her in two days. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Samuel and I had to fly out to Seattle to finalize the three acquisitions. To our surprise, on Wednesday, before we left, we secured two more financial companies that had approached us for mergers. It was a successful trip all around.Amelie had thrown herself into studying for her finals as soon as we got home Monday evening from the hospital. We had been texting back and forth for a couple of days, and I found it so easy to talk to her, whether by phone or text. There was never an awkward pause in the conversation.Zander continued to improve at a rapid pace. Dr. Carrera had said that because he was a top-tier athlete, his recovery would be a quick one. They did, however, want to keep him in the hospital for one to two weeks to make sure everything was going well. I honestly think grandfather had something to do with that because he enjoyed hanging around Zander so much that he was

I kind of wish I was ripping it off of her.Focus, Nathan.I finish getting my tux on and head out to the living room area. I didn’t have to wait very long for Amelie. She appears out of the bedroom, looking like a total goddess. She has her luscious brown hair cascading in face-framing curls, and her makeup is subtle but accentuates her natural beauty—that red dress, phew, that red dress. The only word for her is stunning.“Amelie, you look absolutely stunning,” I exclaimed.“You don’t look too shabby yourself, Nathan,” she says with a big grin.“Shall we?” I signal to the door.“We shall,” she responds.We head down the elevator to the lobby and then out to the limo, waiting outside.

    Nathan’s POVWhat just happened? Amelie has to be ok. I stare at her lying on the couch, and she seems to be breathing better. I would lose it if something happened to her.“Are you ok, Amelie?” I ask, trying to keep my voice from cracking.She reaches up and touches my face, “I’m ok, Nathan, it must have been the heat.” Amelie says as she looks into my eyes.“You scared me,” I replied and nuzzled into her neck. She smells incredible—that familiar scent of Lilies and rain. I want to bask in that scent every day of my life.Amelie smiles and tries to sit up, but I stop her. “You need to rest,” I tell her.“Nathan, really, I’m ok,” Amelie states. Looking around the room. There is a half a dozen sets of eyes on her.“Usually, girls pass out when they see me, not before,” says a deep male voice. Amelie scans the room, and her eyes go as wide as saucers.“Dante Berkley?” Amelie questions, “The Dante Berkley, Hollywood superstar.”“That’s me,” Dante responds, chuckling.The guests start to

Not too bad. The flop is 3, 9, and 10 all off suit. I raise it, and Dante calls it. Next is a seven; I raise again, and Dante calls. Last comes an Ace. I raise a bit to see what Dante is going to do. He immediately goes all in. Shit, does he have three of a kind with Aces? I sit there pondering.“What’s wrong, stock market?” Dante inwardly laughs, “Too hot for you to handle?”Amelie squeezes my thigh. I look at her.

    Amelie’s POVI’m currently hiding in a bathroom stall at the club. I don’t know if I can go through with this fake marriage with Nathan. Every moment I’m with him makes it harder. I want it all to be real. I want a real relationship with him. The way he held me on the dance floor made me feel both ecstatic that I had found my person and sad that I could never truly have him the way I really wanted him. Dig deep, Amelie, and keep your promise. He gave Zander back his life. You need to push your feelings down and stick to the mission. Onwards and upwards. You’re going to march upstairs to the VIP lounge, sit on Nathan’s lap, and pretend to be his girlfriend. Why? Because you owe it to him. Also, because a very large part of you knows how awesome it would be to have his hands on you, so suck it up, princess, and take one for the team. I giggled to myself.I left the stall and washed my hands. I took a glance in the mirror. Makeup is still on point. Hair, I smoothed it out. Tits, I pushe

I kept a constant eye on all three ladies for any trauma reactions from flying again, but they were all occupied talking about the party tomorrow.

I ended up staying up a bit and working on my phone. Amelie was lying on my chest and snoring like a little kitten. Amelie’s Instagram now has up to 110,000 followers. Many people are leaving RIP comments since the rescue hasn’t been announced yet. Roy said they would be announcing it at 9 am tomorrow. He asked if Amelie could be there, but I don’t know if I’ll tell her. I also messaged Dr. Yvonne and asked if there was any way possible for her to make an after-hours call to the apartment. I explained the situation, hoping that she could make an exception. Finally, I contacted the bakery to ask if they could bring the cake testing to our penthouse as well. Then I finally went to sleep.Amelie’s POVI slept like a baby. I was so comfortable and so warm and toasty. Then I realized why. At some poin

    Nathan’s POVI was pacing the room while Amelie was in the shower. Should I really tell her I love her tonight? Is it the wrong move? She literally just got out of a traumatic experience. Maybe it would be too much for her to handle. What if she didn’t feel the same way? Would she still want to marry me? Fuck. I hadn’t even thought of that before. My thoughts were interrupted by Amelie walking out of the bathroom in her robe. She was towel-drying her hair, and I couldn't believe that such a mundane thing was sexy.“How was the shower?” I asked.“It was AMAZING,” Amelie replied. “Definitely in the top five of showers.” She giggled and scrunched up her nose.Fuck. She is so cute that it's almost painful.“I had Trudy pack up a bag for you. It will be on the plane tomorrow morning,” I stated.“Nathan, you didn’t have to do that,” Amelie chastised me.“Amelie, when we get back to New York, there is going to be paparazzi,” I advised. “I thought you might want to change.”“I guess you’re ri

Don’t worry dear, they are in good hands,” she advised us.“Thank you so much for your help,” Amelie said with a smile as she turned to sit down.I followed her over to the seats.

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.

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
