After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 128 Someone Who Can Help
(Ivy)“We’re good friends. We worked together a lot.” She looks at me. “He helped get me home. But I was too scared to tell him what happened, in case…”“Whatever has happened to Elias, it is not your doing, okay? They were going to do whatever it was all along. You can’t reason with these people. But we owe Elias at least to ask the question, I think,” I say.Kate nods. “I know you’re right. It’s just so hard.”“Would you like me to contact Adrian Cole? Will he speak to me, do you think?”Kate holds my gaze.“Yes. Tell him I need his help. He’ll come.”“Then I will do exactly that. Right now. Let’s call this talk done and I’ll let you know how it goes.”“Thank you. Thank all of you. I’m lucky to have you.”“You just get well. I’m going to head to my office and make some calls.”Mary looks up when I enter my office.“I need to contact the Secretary of State.”Her fingers stop over the keyboard. “Alright. Do we have a number?”I love this woman.Anyone else might have asked whether I’d
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 127 Whatever You Decide
(Ivy)Robert steps in but he doesn’t rush up to Kate’s bed.Joan stops just inside the door.For a moment, she only looks at Kate.Then Kate says shakily, “Mom.”Her tears flow freely.Joan is beside the bed in seconds.She bends carefully around the equipment and holds her daughter.Kate’s sobs become quieter but more intense.Not the quiet tears I’ve seen her trying to hide.These come from somewhere she’s been keeping closed for months.“I’m sorry,” she says into her mother’s shoulder.“Oh, darling. Don’t be sorry. I’m sorry I didn’t support you more. Let’s not think about ‘may have been’, let’s deal with the now. We love you. We’re here for you.”Joan eventually sits, still holding Kate’s hand. Robert takes the chair on the other side.Dr. Helen introduces herself. “I’ve been talking with Kate. She’s asked me to stay while she talks. Is that okay with both of you?”Robert nods. “Of course. However Kate needs it to be.”Kate looks at me. She still looks defeated.I give her a nod.
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 126 My Turn
(Ivy)Sarah looks past me toward the door. “Where’s our VIP?”“Here.”“Yes, I can see you. Where’s the patient?”I put my bag on the chair. “You’re looking at her.”She stares at me.Her eyes go wide. “Ivy?”“Dah Dahhhh! I’m pregnant.” I wave my hands in the air.“Oh, my God.”She comes around the desk and hugs me before I’ve worked out whether I’m going to laugh or cry.I do a little of both.“I’m so happy for you,” she says.“Thank you.”“When did you find out?”“A while ago.”She steps back. “You’ve been keeping this to yourself? Are you okay?”I nod. “A few people know. But I haven’t had many opportunities to actually enjoy talking about it.”“Well, we can fix that. You’re going to be an amazing Mom.”I wipe my cheeks. “I’d like to think so.”She locks the door and comes back to me. “Nash?”“Yes.”“Does he know?”“No.”Sarah takes a moment with that. “Okay. First, let’s have a look at your gorgeous baby.”“I did an early scan. Kate helped me. Almost got sprung by Eleanor and Piper
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 125 My Side Of The Story
(Piper)“I’m not interested in writing a collection of captions.”The woman on the video call smiles politely.“Neither are we, Piper.”Good.Because apparently everyone thinks being an influencer means I spend my day taking photographs and waiting for free lipstick.There are contracts. Deliverables. Negotiations.An audience that expects something every single day.I built that before Nash married me.Now I have a much better name to put on it.“The Mrs. Hawke Official,” I say. “That’s the brand. The book needs to work with it.”“We’d need something more personal for a book to sell.”“How personal?”“The story behind the image. Your family. Your marriage. Becoming a mother while dealing with public criticism. How you and Nash found your way to trust and real love…”She’s from a publisher my sponsorship agent introduced me to.Not Ivy’s publisher.I’m not crawling to them asking for her leftovers. Apparently they don’t take submissions, they make offers.Serves them right. Their loss
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 124 Confronting Feelings
(Ivy)“I’ve changed three times,” Elise tells me when I reach the café.“For coffee?”“For coffee with my former lover’s ex-wife and a group of women who now know I used to sleep with married men.”“Well, when you put it like that.”She gives a nervous laugh. “I nearly didn’t come.”“You and me both, but we’re here now.”Her smile becomes easier.The courtyard is lovely. There are trees providing shade, comfortable chairs, and enough room between the tables that nobody needs to hear us.Rachel has arranged a long table.Some women I recognize from the pregnancy group. Others have come with friends.Ordinary women getting through an ordinary day.And carrying things nobody passing them would know about.I understand that rather well.Rachel waves me over. “We’ve ordered a cake platter.”“Excellent. Thank you.” I sit beside her.My nerves are acting up. I’m not sure how much I’ll say.There’s no agenda. Nobody has to introduce herself with the worst thing that’s ever happened to her. Or
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 123 Am I ready For This?
(Ivy)Apparently, half the women in my pregnancy group now hate the smell of their own husbands.“His aftershave,” one says. “I bought it for him. Now I want to throw it out the window.”We all laugh.I understand the sudden hatred of smells. There are parts of this conversation I could contribute to very enthusiastically.But not yet.“Husbands we can’t stand but we love dearly, is tricky,” Iris says.Rachel laughs, then looks down at her wedding ring. “I’m actually quite pleased I can stand mine again. He’s been so attentive but even that annoyed me some days. Like he’s trying too hard...”Something in her voice changes the mood of the room. They all look at her.They nod and look sympathetic. Clearly there’s something I don’t know.She lets out a sigh. “He cheated last year. There, I said it.”“Oh, Rachel,” I say. It’s hard to know what to say. “I’m sorry to hear that.”She looks down. “We separated for a while. We’re working through it now. I mean I’ve wanted a baby for so long an
