Nathan’s POV

Tuesday, T minus 12 days until Amelie and I say I do. I think the combination of knowing that and last night's win by the Rangers is fuelling my happiness this morning. When I woke up, I expected Amelie to be sleeping, but when I rolled over, she was already out of bed. I hope it wasn’t due to a nightmare or anything. I got up to use the washroom and realized the shower was running, and once again, Amelie was singing at the top of her lungs. I chuckled to myself. I headed to the closet to grab my clothes to lay out on the bed.

I heard the shower turn off, so I went and knocked on the door.

“Amelie, are you going to be long?” I asked.

“Just a couple of minutes,” Amelie replied. “Just drying off, and I’ll be out.”

I sat on the bed and checked my phone while I was waiting. There was a message from Samuel.

Samuel: it looks like Amelie is the talk of the hockey world today. Check out the link.

I pressed the link, and there she was, front and center on a hockey Instagram page.

  • The Billionaire's First Glance   Chapter 90 – You’re No Longer Welcome Here

    Amelie’s POVAfter breakfast, Nathan had advised Marcus to drop me off at Dr. Yvonne’s before continuing to the Michaels Investment Group building.“Marcus will be back in an hour to pick you up,” Nathan advised. “He can take you home, and then if you feel like coming into work, you can change and come in.”“I am coming in,” I replied. “I need to speak with Simon. I was hoping to get started on the dog rescue project. Plus, I wanted to ask Samuel about the wedding.”“Really?” Nathan shook his head and smirked. “Always on the go and busy. Such an overachiever.”“Well, isn’t that a prerequisite to become a Michaels?” I giggled.“Touche, Amelie,” he smiled.The car pulled up in front of Dr. Yvonne’s building.“No need to get out, Marcus,” I said, reaching for the door.“Have a good session, Amelie,” Nathan said.“I,” I sputtered out, “ummmm….will.”Oh, my goodness, did I almost say, 'I love you'? It’s becoming increasingly difficult to suppress the feeling building inside me.Nathan laug

    Amelie’s POVIt felt great to be vulnerable with Dr. Yvonne today. I cried. I mean, ugly cried and snotted, but it felt soul-cleansing. I didn’t realize how much emotional baggage I had built up inside of me. It felt good to air it out; it was truly cathartic. I didn’t share it with anyone before because I didn’t want to burden anyone with my problems or emotions.Dr. Yvonne also told me that it would be good to be open and honest with myself so that I could enter the marriage with a clear understanding of my trauma and triggers.I can’t thank her enough for fitting me in on such short notice. I genuinely want to continue seeing her on a permanent basis. Almost everyone’s mental health takes a back seat to everything else in their life, but it is one of the most important things to ensure they’re fulfilled in daily life.Once I finished at Dr. Yvonne’s, I stopped by the coffee shop in the lobby for a chai tea. I pulled out my phone and called Morgan.“Hey, Amelie,” Morgan answered.“H

    Nathan’s POVSamuel sat at his desk while Amelie and I took the chairs in front of it.“So, Amelie, what would you like to discuss?” Samuel asked.“Well, Samuel. In the short time I’ve worked here and gotten to know you, I’ve come to truly respect and trust you. You almost feel like a big brother to me,” Amelie stated.“That’s so kind of you, Amelie,” Samuel declared. “I do feel like we have a special relationship, kind of like a brother and sister.”“Great, now I have two brothers to deal with,” I joked.“Shhhh, you,” Amelie scolded me.Samuel and I laughed.“Samuel, because of that connection,” Amelie continued. “I need to ask you a huge favor.”“OK?” Samuel answered, confused.“I want you to officiate our wedding,” Amelie revealed.“You want me to marry you two?” Samuel said, surprised.“Yes, it would mean the world to me,” Amelie expressed. “Please, oh, Please, Samuel,” Amelie said with pleading puppy dog eyes.“Well, I can’t really say no to a face like that. Can I?” Samuel chuck

Simon was sitting there with two other people.“Amelie, this is Alex,” Simon introduced. “Alex works in media and production. “I thought he would be a good asset to us because he can create posters and design a donation website for the project.”“Nice to meet you, Alex,” I said, reaching out and shaking his hand.“Next, we have Zara,” Simon stated. “Zara is in IT.”“Hi Zara, thanks for volunteering,” I shook her hand.“Simon, I never asked what department you work in,” I said, turning to him.“Marketing and promotions,” Simon replied.I giggled, “I can tell.”I sat down. “We won’t be doing a release on the fundraising until after the holidays, but I wanted to start now with some ideas I’d like to get your opinions on,” I advised. I think we can try to get a representative from each department to join the committee. Additionally, I was consideri

I love it!” Amelie grinned widely.“Desiree, you have outdone yourself,” I congratulated her.“Why, thank you, Dr. Michaels,” Desiree said, smiling. “We’ll look at the table in a minute. First, I want to get your feeling on the wedding venue décor.”Desiree led us over to the couch.“Please have a seat, and I’ll start up the projector,” Desiree said.Desiree turned on the presentation and turned off the office lights.On the screen was the grand room at Grandfather’s mansion.“So, as you can see,” Desiree clicked her remote. The screen transformed into the venue as the décor slowly filled the room. “Once the chairs, flowers, and stands are in place, it completely changes the space.”“WOW!” Amelie exclaimed. “Is that AI doing that? The room looks like a dream!”“Yes, AI has become one

    Nathan’s POVI helped Amelie into the car and slid in next to her.“I won’t be home for supper tomorrow night,” I announced. “My mother wants to meet with Grandfather and me.”“OK,” Amelie smiled.“Are you sure it’s ok?” I asked. “Because if you don’t want me to, I won’t go.”“Nathan, I’m totally fine with it,” Amelie advised. “She’s your mother. You should see if the relationship can be mended.”“I know, but it’s no secret that she’s not happy with our relationship,” I stated. “If she can’t accept you, then there is no mending.”“Nathan,” Amelie reached up and stroked my cheek. “Please go and try to find common ground with her.”“Ok, I will, but one remark about you or our wedding, and I will put her in her place,” I expressed.I took Amelie’s hand in mine and held it the whole way home.Amelie’s POVWe arrived home to find Zander watching TV in the living room.“Welcome home, guys,” Zander said. “How was work?”“It was pretty good, actually,” I answered.“Trudy said supper is in the

    Amelie’s POV“So, are we going to go check out your place?” I asked Dante. “Then after, we can come back up here, and you guys can eat pie.”“THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!” Dante screamed.“Dante!” I scolded him.“Ok, let’s head down,” Dante laughed.I grabbed Nathan’s hand, and he kissed the back of my hand. We headed towards the elevator.It felt weird to take the elevator down one floor. I can’t believe that Dante is living underneath us.“Did you know the people that used to live here, stock market?” Dante asked.“The Anders?” Nathan replied.“Yes, Brendon and Chrissy Anders,” Dante confirmed.“I knew them a little bit through different social events, but I didn’t know them personally,” Nathan answered.“Well, they have a really good eye for décor, but there are some questionable things in the apartment,” Dante disclosed.“What do you mean, Dante?” I questioned.“Follow me, and you’ll see,” Dante laughed.We follow Dante out of the elevator and down the hall.“There are four units on this

Nathan grabbed the ice cream, plates, and forks.“Yum-o,” Zander said. “I swear I’m going to weigh 350 lbs if Trudy keeps feeding us like this.”“Well, once you have clearance, you can use the home gym or swim laps in the pool,” Nathan stated.“We have a gym and a pool?” Zander’s eyes went wide. “Dang, how much money do you have?”Nathan chuckled, “A lot.”“Yeah, the stock market over here is loaded,” Dante mused. “He could probably buy his own country.”“Really? That’s so cool,” Zander said while scarfing down his pie.“Well, technically, I don’t own a country, but I do own an island,” Nathan smirked.“You own an island?” I looked at him, shocked.“Yes,” Nathan replied, “actually two islands.”“Twins,” Dutton laughed.“Fuck, I love twins,” Dante exclaimed.“Watch your mouth, Dante,” I scolded him.“Sorry, Babydoll,” Dante beamed at me.“Twerkley,” Nathan mumbled.“

    Nathan’s POV“Hey, everyone,” a voice came over the speakers. It was Dante. “I’d like to thank everyone here for coming tonight. Of course, we are here tonight to celebrate one of my best friends, Nathan, and my future 2nd wife, Amelie, tying the knot next week.”A cheer went up from the crowd.“Now we need to see which one of them knows the other better,” Dante smiled. “Let’s get the happy couple over here.”Fuck Dante, what are you up to?Amelie and I headed to the dance floor.The waiter handed both of us a shotglass of clear liquor.“We’re going to ask each of them five questions, and if they match, they get a point.

    Nathan’s POVIn true Dante style, the party was already a success, having only just begun. He had hired pole dancers and had two additional poles delivered to the apartment. The dining room table had been moved to accommodate a makeshift dance floor, and there were a lot of scantily clad people bumping and grinding out there. The two extra poles flanked the dance floor. At the same time, the one in the middle of the cement coffee table was also being put to good use.Amelie, right now, is at my side and greeting all the people who come our way. Mostly, people we didn’t know, but she welcomed everyone and was gracious and poised.I wrapped my arm around her waist and hugged her close to my side. She looked up at me and smiled both with her mouth and her eyes. I will never get enough of her looking into my eyes. I can’t believe it's only one week from today that she will be my wife. If I have the choice, she will stay that way for the rest of our lives.When all the people had stopped f

    Nathan’s POVWell, at least Kimmy didn’t pick out something totally ridiculous—a pair of black silk PJs with the word' groom' on the back. I can handle these. The little bow tie was kind of silly, but not too bad. She had left strict instructions that I was supposed to leave the PJ shirt unbuttoned. She’s such a fashion diva. I laughed to myself.I walked out to the living room, and Dutton was sitting down with his feet on the coffee table. He was wearing a pair of navy blue silk PJs but had them buttoned up.Dante walked out of the kitchen, and of course, he was only wearing his PJ bottoms, bright red ones. He had on a bow tie and a pair of devil horns on his head.“Well, well, well, Mr. Groom,” Dante said, handing me a beer. “Are you ready for a party to remember?”“Or forget, depending on how much you end up drinking,” Dutton laughed.“True enough,” Dante chuckled, then took a swig of his beer. “The girls just texted that they are heading down.”“Did you give Lucas the guest list a

Right now, Dante, Dutton, and I are sitting in his living room, watching TV and drinking beer.“Any action in the bedroom yet?” Dante asked.“Nope, I told you. Evangelina will be mine,” I chuckled.“You still have a week to go. Don’t be so cocky, stock market,” Dante replied.“What’s happening with you and Morgan, Dutton?” I questioned.“I’m not sure,” Dutton stated. “I really like her, but it’s as if we’re both too shy to make a move.”“She is such a sweetheart,” I commented. “You fit together really well.”“I know. I think I’m going to kiss her tonight,” Dutton revealed.“Really? I’m so happy for you, man,” I replied. “Go for it!”“Twerkley, when are you going to let Kimmy know you’re still in love with her?” Dutton asked.“It’s complicated,” Dante stated. “I don’t want to screw it up.”“You won’t,” I said. “I think she still likes you.

    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.

    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

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.
