(Ivy)

The second the car stops, I jump out.

My head is pounding and spinning at the same time. My stomach turns and I throw up into the gutter.

“Ivy, Jesus… Are you okay?” Kate calls out.

“Should I leave my job? My city? My friends? Dad? This feels so wrong now.”

I get back into the car.

“I built my whole life here.” My voice rises. “I went to medical school here. I trained here. That hospital is my world and my family. My patients are here. Dad is here. Everything I love is here.”

“And Nash is

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 54 It’s Not You, It’s Me

    (Ivy)I look at Robert’s message again:I’m sorry for leaving like that. Sorry I pushed my own agenda.I don’t want things to be awkward at Mom’s. I’m going to get a hotel for a few days. It will be easier for everyone.I can’t avoid it forever and it’s not fair that he leaves his Mom’s place because I’m there.Then I call him.He answers after two rings. “Ivy? I wasn’t expecting to hear from you this soon.”“Robert, you aren’t getting a hotel.”“I don’t want to make this harder.”“It’s your mother’s house. You don’t need to leave because of me. If anyone goes, it should be me.”“I shouldn’t have said what I said. It wasn’t fair to you. It’s way too soon. Are we still friends?”“Of course we are. I’m sorry too. I’m not making you leave,” I say. “We can coexist for the rest of the week. Then we can talk about what happens after that.”“Okay, that sounds sensible.”“In something totally unrelated,” I say, “I need your help.”“With what?”“The biannual hospital fundraiser is in two days.

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 53 Swimming With Sharks

    (Nash)Piper is asleep when I come back from the bathroom.She has one hand curled over her stomach and the ultrasound printout is sitting on the bedside table beside her phone.Mom is still sitting in the chair near the window.“She’s exhausted,” she says. “That poor girl has had a terrible day. You need to stop putting her under so much stress, Nash. Think of the baby.”“She’s dehydrated,” I say. “She needs to eat properly and drink water. It’s not rocket science.”Mom gives me a look. “She’s carrying your child, Nash. Try a little kindness.”“If Ivy says I am the father, then I’ll consider kindness. I can trust Ivy to tell me the truth.”“Your obsession with Ivy is ridiculous. Let it go, Nash. She’s never suited this family. At least Piper understands that appearances are important.”“Piper will never be Ivy. Ivy is the only woman for me. Now and forever.”“If that were true, you wouldn’t have another woman pregnant now, would you?”“Shut up, Mom. I told you, none of those women me

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 52 Masquerade Balls and Mystery Guests

    (Ivy)I get the samples started processing and head to the office suite adjacent to my lab.I love being able to have a state of the art lab to use. It not only speeds things up but it allows me to keep things completely private if I need to.Nash will be fully invested in Piper’s baby once the results come back. I can only hope it helps him forget his obsession with me.He and I are in the past. It hurts a little, sure, but I made my decision a long time ago. Being pregnant complicates things but it will never change my mind about Nash.I’m human. Of course seeing him looking that way with another woman and another baby makes me feel some kind of way.I’d always imagined us getting that news together for the first time, but certainly not the baby being in another woman’s womb.Sarah pops her head in. “How did it go with Piper Redfern?”“She’s okay. In overnight and I’m doing an early test for gender in my lab. But I don’t know, there has been cramps. I think this may have been to get

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 51 You Deserve It All

    (Ivy)“What is it, Nash?” I ask as I move away from the nurses desk.Surely he isn’t going to ask about the picture in my purse.I don’t know what Eleanor has told him about seeing me with Kate in the clinic carpark.He comes closer and lowers his voice. “You know exactly what this is about.”“Nash, I need to get this blood and swab to my lab,” I tell him. “If you have something to say, just say it.”“You went too far keeping secrets from me.”I fold my arms. “Did I?”I tense a little. But I will myself not to panic. There is no way he can know I’m carrying his child.“You took half of everything I own, Ivy. Every property, every investment, cash, accounts. I have no access to anything now until it’s all settled.”I almost exhale in relief.“You have access to ordinary expenses, Nash. You’re not sleeping on the street.”“It's almost better than moving back in with my mother,” he snaps. “And now Piper is there too.”I bite my lip to stop from laughing.“I can’t get a hotel. I can’t mov

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 50 Proof

    (Ivy)The heartbeat fills the room.I look back at the screen instead of at Nash. I do not want to share this moment with him. I know he'll be excited. He always wanted kids.This situation is so totally ridiculous, I can barely believe it's happening.Piper is crying. Eleanor has one hand over her mouth.Then Piper says, “can you tell if it’s a boy or a girl?”“It’s a little early for me to promise anything from the scan,” I say. “I could make an educated guess, but 18 weeks is more definite.”“Is there any way to know?” Piper asks.“There’s an early blood test. It looks at fetal DNA in your blood. It can tell us the sex.”“How long would that take?”“As a VIP, the fastest I could get it back is probably forty-eight hours. More likely seventy-two. The plasma has to separate and that takes time.”I take some photos and do a print out. I hand that to Piper. "We will email you more."Nash looks from the monitor to me. “Would that test prove paternity too?”Piper turns toward him. “Nash

    (Ivy)My phone rings.The hospital.“Dr. Calloway,” the emergency coordinator says when I answer. “We have a VIP maternity patient coming in by ambulance.”My first patient in my new promotion. I’ll have to go. I’m actually excited to get back to work.I grab my handbag from the counter.“What do we know?” I say into the phone as I head for the front door.“She reported severe head pain, dizziness, and cramping. The paramedics have left the premises and they will arrive in around twenty minutes.”“Get her bloods done. Start fluids, take a full set of observations, and put her in private maternity assessment. I’ll be very close behind her.”“Dr. Calloway, this is Piper Redfern...”“No problem. Every baby and mother is equally important. We don’t judge. We focus on the best medical care, okay?”“Yes, Dr. Calloway.”I end the call and head outside. No doubt Nash will be there, and maybe Eleanor. Uncomfortable but no reason to not give the best of care.But I can’t deny that a small part
