Amelie’s POV

The alarm went off at 8 am. I woke up and rolled over to the vision of Tiff drooling on her pillow. I got up and headed for the bathroom. I’ll let her sleep in while I take a shower. I showered, shaved, and applied lotion. Once I was done in the bathroom, I searched through the closet for a nice-looking dress. I settled on a beautiful copper-colored princess-cut midi dress. I matched it with some simple tan high heels and a matching purse.

When I was finished in the closet, I came out into the bedroom and noticed Tiff was up and, by the sounds of things, was in the shower. Tiff emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, and headed straight for her bag.

“Tiff, I want you to choose a dress from my closet,” I offered.

“You’re kidding, right?” Tiff responded. “Those dresses cost more than my rent.”

“I’m serious. Pick one, please,” I commented. "You have given me literally so much over the years. I want you to pick a dress and keep it.” I grab her hand and drag her into t

Please meet my assistants, Benjamin and Mila.”“It’s a pleasure to meet all of you,” I advised. “This is Tiff, my best friend and maid of honor. This is my friend Kimberley Stein. She will be taking some pictures to send to our other friend, Morgan Hailee.”Abigail gasped, “You’re friends with Morgan Hailee? THE Morgan Hailee?”“Yes, she wanted to be here, but…” I started to say.“She’s in Paris for her runway show!” Abigail blurted out.“Yes,” I smiled.“Well, then, let’s start by pulling some Morgan Hailee dresses!” Abigail exclaimed.“I would love that,” I smiled.“Please follow me, Amelie. We’ll grab some dresses and see what you’d like.”I followed Abigail to the dress racks.“Is there a specific look you like or woul

    Amelie’s POVWe followed Desiree down to Nathan’s office. Wow. She had a whole display set up, even a mocked-up table setting. It’s absolutely beautiful.“So, first things first, Amelie,” Desiree said, “Nathan has advised me that money is not an issue. Basically, your every wish and want will be fulfilled.”I turned to Nathan, “Nathan, that isn’t necessary.”“Nothing but the best for my angel,” he stated as he grabbed my hand and kissed it.I grinned at him and had a seat at the table.“Oh, Nathan, I forgot to mention that Kimmy is now a bridesmaid,” I uttered, biting my lip.“She is, is she?” Nathan chuckled and pulled my lip out of my teeth. “I kind of thought she would be.”“You’re not mad?” I inquired.“Amelie, anything for you,” He spoke. “I want you to have the wedding of your dreams.”I reached over and stroked his cheek, and he smiled.“Ok, lovebirds, let's get this show on the road,” Desiree announced. “Amelie, what color were you thinking of for the wedding?”“The bridesmaid

    Nathan’s POVWe set off, and I made sure Amelie had music to sing for the entire trip. I was just hoping she loved the surprise.As we reached our destination, I could tell Amelie was starting to get impatient. “Just a couple more minutes, Amelie.”“We are here,” I announced, “but leave your blindfold on.”“Nathan, what are you doing?” Amelie giggled.I helped Amelie out of the car and led her towards the door.Amelie’s POVI couldn’t see a thing. It was driving me crazy. In the car, I could still hear Nathan’s breathing even though the music was playing. There was something so erotic about hearing him breathe and feeling the heat of his body next to me when I couldn’t see him. I started to wonder if he had ever blindfolded a woman during sex, and it made me shift awkwardly in my seat. Then my mind went off the deep end, and I pictured him tying me to the headboard. I swallowed hard at the thought and squeezed my thighs together.Nathan’s car came to a stop, and he helped me out of th

    Nathan’s POVI glance over at the alarm clock. Why am I up at 3:00 am on a Sunday? The answer is easy. Nineteen more days until Amelie and I say I do. I am so totally obsessed with her becoming my wife and staying my wife forever that I can’t sleep. I try to will myself to get up and head down to my office to work on some paperwork I’ve been neglecting, but it’s just not happening.I hear a soft knock on the door. I quickly get out of bed and make my way to the door. I open the door to see her standing there in her navy blue silk chemise nightgown. She looks breathtakingly beautiful, as always. “Amelie, what’s wrong?” I asked.“Nathan, can I come in?” She queried.“Of course, come in,” I motioned and stepped aside to let her in.“I had a nightmare,” Amelie stated, and she hugged herself. “Can I sleep in here with you?”“Aw, Amelie, of course, you can,” I said, leading her over to the bed and pulling back the sheets. She climbed in, and I tucked her in. “You need to get used to sleepin

    Amelie’s POVNathan had left this morning before I had even woken up. Yesterday’s day in bed was just what I needed. The stress of Zander’s surgery, the apartment fiasco, and exams were starting to weigh on me. It was like Nathan could read me and provide me with exactly what I needed. We decided that since Trudy would be at the penthouse, I would move into Nathan’s room immediately. After studying for most of Monday, I headed off to visit Zander at the hospital. When I arrived home, all my clothes had been moved to the “hers” closet in Nathan’s room.I headed downstairs and was greeted by Trudy in the kitchen, “Ms. Cavanaugh, is there something I can get you?”“No, thank you, Trudy. Also, can you please call me Amelie?” I asked.“Of course, dear,” Trudy responded. “Desiree dropped off the proof of the invitations while you were at the hospital. They are absolutely stunning.” Trudy pointed towards the dining room table.I walked over and picked up the invitations. They were gorgeous,

    Amelie’s POVI reach the car at the front of the building, and I’m shocked to see Marcus there. “Marcus? Why are you here?” I queried.“Here to pick you up,” he said with a smile.“I mean, aren’t you supposed to be with Nathan?” I asked.Marcus smiled and opened the back door, and Nathan’s big grin greeted me.“Nathan! You little sneak,” I snickered as I climbed into the back seat.“What? Is that how you greet your fiancée?” Nathan said, flashing his debonair smile.“Geesh… that darn Michaels smolder,” I shake my head. “If you could bottle it, you’d be a trillionaire.”“You’re a funny girl, Amelie,” Nathan stated.“It’s the truth. I swear Carrington could even woo me with his,” I laughed.“Grandfather has it stronger than me!” Nathan declared.“I wouldn’t doubt it,” I agreed. “So, who is the client we are meeting for dinner.”“Salvatore Aventini,” Nathan advised.“Like from the Aventini Mafia group?” I said, shocked.“Yes, that Salvatore Aventini,” Nathan replied. “Sometimes it's bet

Marcus is waiting with the door open. Once inside, I turn to Amelie.“Damn girl, what was that?” I asked.“Just using his vulnerability to my advantage,” Amelie states. “All men think with the dicks at some point. Even powerful mafia dons.”I laughed boisterously, “Amelie, you never cease to amaze me. What should we do now?”“Well, 500 million worth of new investments sounds like it's time for an ice cream celebration. What do you think?” She grinned.“Oh, you’ve earned your ice cream, that’s for sure,” I spoke. “In fact, let me buy you an ice cream company.”“Oh, Nathan, you’re so over the top,” Amelie laughed. “I just want a carton of that strawberry cheesecak

    Nathan’s POVIt was all over the media how Amelie had basically saved the day with the plane crash. I was so proud of her. My Amelie deserved to be recognized for her caring nature.The flight home to New York went smoothly. 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. Kimmy was saying how she had bought the perfect outfit for Amelie for the lingerie and PJ party. I was a little nervous as I knew Kimmy, and I honestly didn’t want any guys seeing anything they shouldn’t be seeing.Amelie had been texting back and forth between her and Zander throughout the entire flight. He was so worried about her. Zander had seen all the RIP messages on her Instagram and had freaked out. Luckily, Dante and Dutton were with him. They had told him she was safe as soon as I had texted them last night. He had tried to reach out to Amelie, but unfortunately, she had forgotten to turn her phone back on aft

    Nathan’s POVAfter eating last night, both Amelie and I were exhausted. We snuggled into bed, and Amelie fell asleep almost immediately. She definitely had a trying day and deserved the rest. 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

Great, now I have to walk through the emergency ward with a giant bulge in my pants.“Oh, there’s the check-in desk,” Amelie stated. “I bet they have information on Thomas and Nancy.”Amelie walked up to the desk. “Good Evening, we were in the helicopter that brought in Thomas and Nancy, ummmm,” Amelie said.“Thomas and Nancy Franklin,” I added.“Oh yes, you must be Dr. Michaels and Ms. Cavanaugh,” the desk receptionist acknowledged.“Do you have any idea if they have been seen?” Amelie asked. “I’m very worried about them.”“If you can have a seat, I’ll ask around and let you know as soon as possible. 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. She looked really worried. I grabbed her hand, “They are both going to be fine, Amelie,” I reassured her.“I just don’t like it

    Nathan’s POVI don’t want to let go of Amelie’s hand. I have a certain sense of calm when I can touch her. It feels like I have my missing piece. We’re getting close to the Historical site, and I know that I will have to stop holding her hand for even a few minutes as we get out of the helicopter. When you stand face to face with the possibility of losing the person who has your heart, it changes you. It makes everything so much clearer. I’m going to tell her that I love her tonight.We reached the rescue base, and I relinquished Amelie’s hand. I quickly alighted from the helicopter and circled over to Amelie’s door as she was opening it. I helped her out and then intertwined our fingers back together.A smiling Roy greeted us. “Well, this is the best outcome anyone could have hoped for,” Roy declared and turned to Amelie. “I hear we have you to thank for that little lady. Textbook survival skills.”“Thank you,” Amelie smiled. “Just trying to keep a level head and keep everyone calm.”

    Nathan’s POVWhen she smiled down at me, I thought my heart was going to burst from excitement. I have never wanted something more in my life like I did Amelie. I wanted to declare my love for her right then and there, but everyone already thought we were in love.“Are you ok, kitten?” I yelled.“I’m better now that you are here, Schmoopie,” Amelie called back.“Did you think I wouldn’t come for you?” I declared.“No, I knew you would,” Amelie smiled.“Always,” I declared.“Oh god, you guys are making me sick,” Kimmy teased.“Right? I thought I was the only one,” Morgan giggled.Everyone broke out in laughter.“Rescue one to Moneybags. Can you shine your spotlight straight up for the exact location,” a voice came over the radio.“Roger that,” Kirk responded and pointed the spotlight straight into the air.“We have visual on you,” the voice spoke. “Do you have a count on the recovery?”“Affirmative. Two injured and three non-injured,” Kirk relayed.The rescue helicopter appeared overhe

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
