AMETHYST

Amelia turns 5 today and as a way of introducing her properly to the elite society, her dad is hosting a party for her with selected family and friends. I was against this idea at first but trust Nick to be very convincing. He says that whether or not we want it, we can't keep her hidden due to the lives of the parents she has and that is actually a valid point.

Let me fill you in on what has happened in my life these past three months. So, first of all, I had to send in ny resignation letter at the restaurant and help interview applicants for my job position till I finally got someone suitable. Leaving was not all that rosy because Ava kept sulking at every chance she got, pleading with me not to go back.

She knew her pleas would have no influence on me making that decision but she says it was her own coping mechanism in the whole situation.  Sadie, on the other hand, kept calm and told me she would miss me so much. I will too because in a way, she is like a second mother to me. I guess I am lucky to have two moms.

Russell just made me know that he would miss me greatly and as for Victor, he was gloomy all through, especially when he learnt that I was married, but on the last two days before my departure, he hosted a farewell dinner for me at the restaurant and even jokingly told me that whenever I am done with Nick, he would be waiting for me.

I was finally able to wrap up my life over there in Canada, shared my belongings amongst people who needed them and came back to New York. Now that was a whole ball game entirely. For two whole weeks I could barely go out because the news of my arrival and me not being dead reached the ears of the press and in no time, paparazzi flooded everywhere I went, harrassing me for information.

The reunion with everyone was filled with tears and relieved faces. I made up my relationship with my dad and right now, we are as strong as ever. Our room was as I had left it with everything I owned intact. Nick told me he had it cleaned regularly but could not find the courage to sleep in there for years.

I found out that Maya had started a clothing line and I was so damn proud of her. Apparently, after my supposed death, she told Nikolas about Suzie Mills in relation to me. I retrieved the tab where I had drafted all my plans and I am currently working towards improving and actualizing that dream with the help of Nikolas and his friends.

"So, what is my Queen wearing for tonight's party?" Nikolas gives me a kiss on my neck, breaking me off my train of thoughts. When did he wake up?

"It is a surprise." I kiss him on his lips as I speak.

"But you will still wear it in this room, so I don't understand why it should be kept as a surprise." He shrugs.

"I will wear it here but you will be dressing up at the guest room today." I state and watch as he continually shakes his head in disagreement.

"Unbelievable." He protests and I just watch him calmly and unyielding.

"How about I change your mind on that?" He says, as his hands run down my body, erupting a moan from me.

"Nikolas." I say.

"Hmmm, my Queen. The things you make me do." He showers kisses down my chest to my stomach area as he caresses and fondles my nipples.

"Mummy! Daddy! I'm 5 today!" Amelia bursts into our room with so much excitement, unaware of our current state. Nick rolls his eyes and hisses silently, making me chuckle lightly. I carefully slide under the bedsheets to hide my almost bare form from her eyes.

"Hey, my little princess." I watch as Nick picks her up and twirls her around, causing her to giggle.

"Good morning, Daddy." She leans in and pecks him on the cheeks. I quickly adjust myself under the sheets.

"Where is mummy?" I hear her ask.

"Mummy is just waking up. She will join us soon. How about pancakes?" Nick asks her.

"Yay! Yes, daddy." The excitement she has for being 5 years old today is alarming. At her age what I even doing again? Well, I really can't remember. Although, I was also a daddy's princess at that time. I hear the door shut, meaning they left the room.

I quickly get up from under the sheets to brush my teeth and wash my face so I could join them for breakfast.

True to my words, I practically had to throw Nikolas out of the room, alongside his own outfit when it was time for me to dress up because this man I am married to had other plans for the evening.

"I'll call you when I am done dressing." I shut the door on his face and securely lock it, giving him the sweetest smile I could muster. It feels so good watching the frustration on his face as he knows naught of what I would be wearing.

I take off my robe to put on some sexy lingerie I had acquired over the week, then finish styling my hair and applying light make up. Next, I put on my dress and finish off the look with a pair of heels. Mrs. Brian insisted on helping Amelia dress up and I am very grateful for her assistance. I pick up my phone to call Nikolas.

"Hey, sweetheart. I am done dressing." I say over the phone, giving myself a once over.

"It's about time." I hear him say from outside the door.

"How long have you been there?" I ask, chuckling.

"Since I finished dressing up." He replies.

"Coming right up." I open the door and Nick enters the room, not allowing me step out. He looks at me from head to toe and walks towards me. I could not miss how his eyes flashed with need for me and damn did I love the effect I have on this man.

"God, Amethyst, you don't know what you do to me." He says in a husky voice as he walks, taking slow steps towards me till I feel my back touch the wall and his figure towering over me.

"You." He kisses me on my neck. "Have." On my shoulders. "No idea." On my arms. "What you do to me, moro." He finishes with peppery kisses on my chest as I feel his hot breath on that part of my body.

"I can't wait to rip this dress off you this night and show you how much effect you have on me. Ravish you with all my love." He says in a raspy tone. He places a hand on my waist and brings me to his chest.

"Let's go pick up the birthday girl and head out. Our guest are already waiting." He smirks at me, takes my hands in his and we walk together to Amelia's room.
