Chapter 131
Amelia woke up to the bright sun rays filtering in through the pretty blinds. She broke into a smile as she stretched, her face turned towards the sun, her chest heaving with a relief that she hadn't felt in a long time."Good morning, sweetheart."She turned, just as Coulter closed the door behind him, a small smile playing on his lips. He was shirtless, still carrying the marks she had felt on him last night, his hair still messy."Sweetheart?" She asked, laughing, a mischievous glint in her eyes. She sat up, the sheets wrapped around her chest, her hair falling down one shoulder."Yes, sweetheart," he said simply, then leaned in and gently kissed her lips. "I brought breakfast and two options."Amelia sat up, seeking his lips more, and he laughed and let her take it. She kissed him slowly, her fingers gently cupping his face, her breath stuttering. When she broke away, her eyes had grown darker, before she broke into a smile."Options?" She finally asked, her breath against his lip

Amelia finished with her breakfast and took a long shower. Coulter sat on the edge of the ned, hisveyes fixed on his phone. Ian's messages were still incoming, and he had gotten so used to Ian sending multiple messages that he mostly just learned to wait until the messages stopped.Once they did, he grabbed the phone and brought it to his eyes, swiping it open."The private investigator has given the rest of the details. Apparently, Melissa hired him to look into you, but then withdrew the request a day later."Coulter raised a brow and opened the next message. "I think she might have gotten info from someone else so she no longer needs him.""Maybe Madam Gabriella? Or Amelia's secretary. It is stressing me out that Melissa withdrew it after Amelia came to the villa. What if she... you know."Coulter let out a sigh and started to reply when he saw the next message. "Okay, I will admit I freaked out. I apologize. Amelia is a good woman and is a victim of these vile people herself. Ple

Melissa drove the car in silence, her eyes a little distant as Peter tapped on his lap. Neither had said a word to each other ever since the meeting concluded.Melissa could still hear Sarah's voice in her head. "Do you really trust him? He has that stench of greed. If he fucks this up, you are the one I will hold responsible."She closed her eyes, then leaned back, her grip kn the steering wheel tightening a little. The finally took the last corner to the bus stop where she had picked Peter up from, and the engine slowed to a stop.Melissa gave a small sigh and slowly turned to him. "You are not going to betray me, are you? You got money already. This is enough to tell you that they are legit. You just need to let us help you with those packages, that's it."Peter nodded, a small smile lifting his lips. "Of course, I trust you. Even though I wonder what they would be doing with a drug pusher like me when they live in a mansion like that, I realized it is none of my business. I will

Madam Gabriella sat in her usual chair, her eyes fixed on Melissa, who was suspiciously light today. It had been a while since Melissa had even bothered to sit in the same space as her, and today, after the mysterious meeting that had kept her out late, she had even proposed making dinner."It would be nice to know what is making you so happy," Madam Gabriella said, her brow rising. "It's not like the company is back on its feet, is it?"Melissa looked up, then smiled and went back to her phone. The smile already gleaming in her eyess brightened even more as she took in the pictures the private investigator had sent to her.She had called off her investigation of Coulter immediately after her first meeting with Sarah since Sarah apparently knew everything that Coulter could possibly let anyone know about him, and also, she never had any money to pay him from the beginning.It was like the stars had aligned for her.But after coming back from the meeting and taking a cold shower, and a

The mansion had been opened to let the bright rays of the morning seep through. Amelia had changed into a pretty sundress, one that Coulter himself had packed up for the trip. Coukter held her hand as he led the wsy out of the bedroom where they had spent the night.The mansion was beautifully illuminated, and Amelia took in the arts on the wall, the beautiful intricate designs on the ceiling, the perfection in every bit of architecture."It is truly beautiful," Amelia breathed, her voice low as she ran her hand across the frame of one of the arts handing on the long interior balcony."It is," Coulter echoed, his eyes fixed on her instead of the painting that he had seen countless times before this.But he had seen her countless times before this, and unlike the painting, she was still hard to get through. Especially while she was wearing the hickey he had left last night quite proudly, without even a hint of deliberation as to whether she should cover it.He smiled to himself and slo

Amelia turned to the mirror as she smoothness the gown over her body. It fit her ao beautifully that it looked like it had been poured on her. She turned around, taking in the back reflection in the mirror. The way the diamonds caressed the skin of her back, the way they draped beautifully, and showed the pretty dimples at the very bottom of her back.She slowly walked out, her heart hammering as she took the stairs down. Coulter was resting back on the couch now, his eyes fixed on the glass of wine he was holding more than all of the activities of Florencia and her two assistants next to him.Amelia stood at the very bottom of the stairs, then looked up."Coulter."He looked up the same time Florencia turned, and the sharp breaths in the room were almost deafening.Coulter's fingers loosened a little around his wine glass before he sat up, blinking. Of course, he had seen Amelia in a lot of pretty dresses. This one, however... it achieved all of the sensuality and elegance that Ameli

The ride to the hotel was quiet, serene. Amelia watched the buildings float past, her heart beating steadily in her chest. "What are you thinking about?" Coulter asked, gently taking her hand in his. He leaned down, placing tiny kisses on her knuckles, then moving up to the edge of her wrists. She turned to him, then leaned closer and rested her head on his shoulder, a small sigh escaping her. "Everything just feels good right now," she said, her hand running up and down his arm. Coulter gently guided her chin up till she was facing him, eye to eye, then cupped her cheek instead. "I will make sure it keeps being good for you." She gave a small smile. "Such a sweet talker." "That's only for you, too." She laughed, then rested her head on his shoulder again. They finally got to the hotel, and the cars of the entourage came to a slow stop. Amelia sat up, taking in the scene before her. The hotel was a massive hotel that looked like it transcended time and space to

They finally went back to their seats, Amelia still a little dazed from the dance and the kiss. She looked around, her chest heaving hard as she realized just how many cameras were around and how many were still taking photos of her and Coulter.A blush rose up her cheeks, and she turned to Coulter, who was already watching her."That was..." she said, her voice low. "Surreal.""It was," Coulter agreed with a simple nod of his head. "You look beautiful. Especially with that blush.""Please don't make me brush more," she said, laughing, but her cheeks had already darkened, and her gaze fell to her thigh.Coulter laughed, then leaned away, letting her catch her breath for a moment."Here comes the final event of the night!" Came the announcement, and Amelia turned, using it as a quick way of getting away from the asdaukt of Coulter's gaze. "We have a few prized pieces that will be up for auction tonight. Pieces with culture, history, and art engraved into their very stones. Remember, th
Chapter 139
Amelia's fingers ran over the engraving of her name, and her heart skipped a dangerous beat. She looked up, and Coulter was still smiling, his eyes obviously proud.She laughed, shaking her head at the devilishly handsome, ridiculous, beautiful, extremely wealthy man in front of her."Now that we all have the rules down, let's begin," came the announcement, and the lights in the rest of the room dimmed slightly, putting the first piece in a brighter spotlight.They watched as the glass case was open to reveal a stunning hand knife, with a sheathe that was encrusted with various gems and stones. It was breathtaking and obviously something that was one of a kind. "This is the hand knife of legends, with stones encrusted into its sheathe and handle. It is known to have at least one of every precious stone ever discovered, ranging from diamonds, sapphires, rubies, stary nights, turquoise, moissanites, and so much more. The starting price is twenty-five million dollars!"Amelia's breath h

Coulter settled in the seat next to Amelia, and the car door closed. Once it did, he broke into a laugh, his head thrown back on the seat of the car. Amelia chuckled, too, leaning back on the seat."You are an absolute menace," Coulter said, laughing. "She meeds to stack up a few more, huh?"Amelia shrugged, her chest heaving from the high of what had just happened and the wine she had taken."She had it coming though," she said, then leaned down to gently take off the shoes. She brought them to eye level and let out a sigh. "This... this is something else completely. Two hundred million dollars. Really? That is an investment. A startup. Something."Coulter chuckled. "You are thinking with your business brain again. Think with your Coulter's lady brain. Think with your fun brain. Think with your progressive woman brain."She rolled her eyes, and he broke into a laugh, his eyes thin.Suddenly, he brought his head to rest on her shoulder, a small smile lifting his lips as he closed his
