After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 21 Right On Time
(Ivy)If Eleanor Hawke smiles at me any harder, I’m worried her face might crack.Having her dislike me is way less unsettling than her liking me.“I’m so pleased you didn’t mind,” she says as a waiter passes us with champagne.“No, it’s fine.”“Nash was just so excited. He had to tell me. I hope you can forgive him…”Is she trying to find out how much I know? That question seems loaded.“Nothing to forgive.”Eleanor laughs and takes a glass from the tray. “I’m excited. Nash has wanted children for such a long time.”I glance across the room at him. “I know.”“Maybe this can be a new beginning for all of us.”“I think you are right, Eleanor.”Someone calls Eleanor’s name and she excuses herself. Thank goodness.I watch her walk away.What the hell is she up to? Do I think she’s suddenly heading up my fan club? No.But I really don’t have to care anymore.Across the room, Robert is still doing exactly what I asked him to do.Piper is beside him laughing and seeming smitten by him. I ha
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 20 Everything Under Control
(Nash)David, Alexa and Piper walk through the front door together.Ivy smiles and goes straight to her father. “Dad, you’re right on time.”“Wouldn’t miss it.” David hugs her and looks around. “Very impressive place.”“Thank you.”I kiss Alexa’s cheek. “Welcome.”Then I look at Piper.She looks back at me.For half a second, I wait for her to say something stupid.She doesn’t.“Nice house,” she says.“Thanks.”Robert appears beside us. “Piper, looks like you’re stuck with me.”Piper turns to him and smiles. “Am I?”“Absolutely. I’ve appointed myself your escort for the evening.”David laughs. “See? I could tell you two would get along.”Piper smiles. “Maybe you were right. Robert and I may be the perfect match.”Something annoys me about that. I push it away.Robert offers her his arm. “Come on. Saves you from playing third wheel.”Piper laughs and takes his arm. “Fine. Entertain me.”“Gladly.”They walk away together.I guess it has an upside.Piper is occupied and Robert is nowhere
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 19 Almost Free
(Ivy)Robert follows me across the room carrying two dining chairs. “Where do you want these?”“Anywhere. Why did you really come so early?”Robert grins. “Nash wanted me here late. Obviously.”“You’re both children.”He puts the chairs down. “He started it.”I give him a look. “Seriously, Robert. Why are you here so early?”His grin disappears. “Kate texted me.”I stop moving the chair. “She did? When?”“About half an hour ago.” Robert looks around and lowers his voice. “Told me to get over here as soon as I could because you might need support.”My heart picks up. “Did she say anything else?”Support? Why would I need support?Unless she thinks she isn’t going to get it done today afterwards.“No.” He studies me. “What’s going on, Ivy? Is Kate in some sort of trouble?”“No. Oh, so sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you,” I say to calm him. “Kate is getting my finalized divorce papers and bringing them here.”Robert’s expression changes immediately. “Oh, so tonight is the night I get to s
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 18 Thorne In My Side
(Nash)“This is the last time I’m asking, Piper. Sign the agreement!”“No. And it won’t be the last time.”I stare at her. “Excuse me?”“I’m not signing an NDA or your settlement offer,” Piper tells me.“Then name your price.”“I don’t have one.”“Yesterday you wanted a billion.”She folds her arms. “You can offer me ten billion. Why would I take it? I’m not getting rid of your child, Nash.”“No one is forcing you to do anything.”“Liar! You want this baby gone. You’re trying to pay me to disappear.”“I’m trying to give you options. You’re young. Your whole life is in front of you.”She shakes her head. “Our child has rights. The law is on my side. The DNA is on my side. You can ignore your own baby all you like, but you can’t pretend it doesn’t exist.”“I’m not pretending anything.”“Then stop fighting this.”“Fighting what?”“Us.”“There is no us.” Is this woman delusional or what?Her eyes fill with tears. “I love you. I’ve always loved you.”“Piper…” I shake my head.“And I know y
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 17 Getting The Last Laugh
(Ivy)I leave the house just after ten-thirty.I call Kate from the car to check on if she even remembers what needs to be done.No answer. Maybe she is sleeping in a little.It’s okay. We have time.But, I try again twenty minutes later.Still nothing.That’s strange. Kate never not answers the phone. If she can’t answer she flicks a text.I pull into a café and call Robert.“Hey, Ivy.”“Have you heard from Kate this morning?”“No. Why?”“I’ve been trying to call her.”“She might still be asleep.”“It’s after eleven. Since when does Kate sleep that late?”There’s a pause. “I think she needs a lot of recuperation.”Something in his voice makes me frown. “Is there something you aren’t telling me?”“I figure when she’s ready she’ll let us know.”“Okay. I hope so.”“Why are you trying to find her?”“She promised she’d do something for me today. Something important.”“Important? Like what?”“Just something I need taken care of.”“Well…” He hesitates. “I’d take that promise with a grain of
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 16 Tonight’s Could Be The Night
(Nash)I wake up feeling better than I have in months. Maybe in ever.Our fresh start begins. Today we move into the new house.Today Ivy’s surprise life she’s planned for us starts. I can’t wait to have her pregnant and more beautiful than ever.Tonight everyone comes over for the housewarming. This is perfect.And if Ivy’s calculations are right, tonight might be the night we finally make our baby.I roll over and find her already awake beside me. “Morning.”“Morning.”“How’s the head today?”“Not good. I wish I hadn’t drank so much.”“I guess you needed the downtime. You’ve had a lot on lately. And catching up with old friends… bound to happen.”She eyes me closely. “You seem, understanding…”“Don’t get me wrong, I’m still jealous as fuck of Robert. But you came home to me. So, I need to get a grip.”“Who are you and what have you done with Nash Hawke?”I laugh. “Well, new start, new attitude, right?”“Right.”I slide closer. “How are we looking?”She frowns. “How are we looking fo
