#Chapter 48 Happiness, Sparkles, & Bliss
DORIS Saturday morning, I was smiling when I got to the penthouse. I still hadn’t made many deals at Heritage Properties, but I was so glad to see Mia that my happiness overflowed. “I’m so glad you live here now,” Mia said, taking my hand. “Well, here in New York, it would be better if you lived here…” Mia said, letting go of my hand to point at the floor, “…at home.” “Mia…” Arthur growled a reprimand at her. “I know. Six weeks.” Mia looked at me. “Has it been six weeks yet?” I bent down so I was at her level. “Not yet, sweetheart.” “But you are going to move in then, right?” My heart lurched. I looked at Arthur over the top of Mia’s head. His eyes were pleading. I looked back to Mia. “We’ll see.” I stood up. Arthur, Mia, and I began our day. The streets were teeming with energy. We stopped at a bakery to get croissants and ate them as we walked

ARTHURAs I sat on the edge of the bed, still basking in the afterglow of our passionate connection, my phone buzzed with an incoming video call. It was Andrea, and a sinking feeling settled in my stomach. I reluctantly answered, the image of her stern face appearing on the screen.Luckily Doris was in the shower, and I fully intended to keep Doris out of video range. But I obviously looked like I’d just had an amazing night, because I had.“You are not still with that trash,” Andrea said instead of hello.I flinched. Be calm, I told myself."Andrea, can't you see that this obsession you have with Doris is wrong?"She scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. "Arthur, you've always been weak-willed.”“What?”“It's time you learn your place and listen to your mother's advice. Fire Doris immediately."I couldn't believe the audacity of her demands.

DORISI stepped out of the subway station, inhaling the myriad of smells in the morning air. I walked quickly to where I had agreed to meet my biological father, Joe, outside a busy café. We had planned to spend some quality time together.I decided I would let myself get to know him without resenting that is missed out on him my whole life.“Hi, Doris. Long week?”“Long but mostly good.”“Tell me about it.”As we settled into our seats, a comfortable silence hung between us for a moment. Then, my father's eyes twinkled with mischief as he leaned forward, breaking the silence. "Okay, what’s up? How's life treating you these days?"I chuckled, appreciating his casual approach. “Life has its ups and downs, but I can't complain. Noah woke up for a brief moment." I didn't think I'd ever mentioned Noah to Joe before, so I told Joe all about how Noah had saved me, and I brought

ARTHURI brought Doris back to the apartment and paused, awed by what an amazing woman I had. I cradled Doris's cheeks in my hands and kissed her gently. "We'll experiment together tonight."I kissed Doris again. "Sweet Dove, how do you manage to taste like pleasure, home, summer, and sunshine?"Doris nipped my bottom lip, a quick bite as she rocked her hips against mine.I hissed out an animalistic sound because what Doris felt so freaking good.Doris ran her lips over my jaw, brushing against my chin's scruffy stubble.Like everything Doris did, the motion of her caressing lips against my skin was extraordinary.I snagged my hand through her hair, using it to bring her mouth back to mine for a searing kiss.“You, Doris," was all I managed to get out when I came up for air. “You.”I carried her to my bedroom.I sat down on my

DORISI called my client early the next morning. Hearing the ecstatic happiness in my client's voice when he heard that I got the Brooklyn land track of his historic family land that he bought returned to him made all the trouble I had to go through with it.The fact that I got to take away Andrea's plans from one of the first business deals she tried to sabotage against me was a bonus.Arthur took me out to a fancy restaurant uptown to celebrate."I don't think anyone else would've been able to pull it off," Arthur said. "I admire you.""I guess I deserve a raise," I joked."I guess you do.""I was only kidding.""A raise in a promotion," Arthur said. "With the kind of determination you showed, I think you should lead a team."For a moment, I was speechless.Maybe he was right. I had been working in this industry for years. Kate sho
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 53 - Hard-working Or Hardly Working
DORISI was walking down the street Tuesday afternoon and saw Andrea walking towards me. My first thought was to cross the street and avoid her. Before I could, she spotted me.Why should I close the street? I hadn't done anything wrong.I noticed her pregnancy belly was showing. It was the first time I could see it."Hello, Andrea," I said.She gave me a nod and a little bit of a sneer.I was worried that her seeing me again would reignite her desire to make my life miserable, and I wanted to say something nice to her. At first, I couldn't think of anything to say."Pregnancy agrees with you. You're glowing."Andrea smiled at the compliment.Then her face transformed into an expression of complete rage.What? I thought we were over this.Before I could say anything, she pushed me out of the way violently, and I fell int
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 54 – A New Door
ARTHURI looked out the small plane window at the setting sun, the fluffy clouds, and the beautiful city of Paris, getting smaller and smaller. I didn't mind cutting my business trip short. I just hoped Doris was OK.We hit a lot of turbulence on my way back from France.I couldn't believe how sick Doris looked on our video call. I had tried to call her a few times as I was boarding the plane, but she didn't answer, which just made me more worried.I had a lot of work to do, and even though I opened my briefcase and stared at my files. I couldn't concentrate.With the turbulence, the flight took longer than usual. It was over a seven hour flight, but with the time difference, it was only a little after 7 o'clock when we landed.I was tired from the jetlag and the worry, but I went directly to Doris's apartment.When I knocked on her door, a strange man answered."W

ARTHURI went back into Doris’s bedroom. She was sleeping fitfully. It was probably good that she didn't pay attention to all of the argument. On the other hand, it was worrisome that she could sleep through a loud discussion. It made me think she was even sicker than she let on.I was sure she needed to sleep, but I wanted to talk to her for a minute. I wiped a damp lock of hair off her forehead."Hey, baby," I said, and Doris woke immediately.She turned and looked at me. "Hi, Arthur," she said weakly."He's gone.""Oh, thank goodness. I still can't believe he said those things. You didn't believe him, did you?"I did for a second. But I'm sure it was because I was tired from the flight. As soon as I had a minute to think about it, I knew he was full of crap.""I'm glad. I would never cheat on you, not after I was cheated on, and not ever because I'

DORISWe got to the apartment penthouse."Mommy, Daddy! You're home early!""We are, pumpkin. Mommy's sick, and I cut my European trip short so I could take care of her.""Are you sick, Mommy? Do you want me to read to you? Daddy always reads to me when I'm sick, and it makes me feel better.""Yes, sweet girl, that's a great idea."Mia hugged me, and then she looked up at me. “Would you like to read Goodnight Moon? I know that's your favorite, as well as mine.""Sure,” I said as Mia took my hand and dragged me to her room."Goodnight, moon. Goodnight, spoon. Goodnight, baboon. Goodnight, cartoon," I said."Mommy! Come on! You know that's not how it goes.""Isn't it? Goodnight, June. Goodnight, Looney Tunes. Goodnight, Frank Sinatra croons? Goodnight, prunes. Goodnight, macaroons.""You're silly."Arthur laughed.
