(Ivy)

“Dr. Ivy!” Olivia points at me. “There she is!”

Every head turns. My first instinct is to just get back to my office and make Sarah apologize for me.

But instead I take a breath and walk in the double doors.

There are mothers everywhere. Some have babies in strollers. Some are holding toddlers’ hands. A few women are pregnant, and I recognize every one of them.

Women I’ve treated.

Women I’ve sat with through long nights and frightening scans. Women whose babies arrived too early.

Yesterday was difficult enough.Nash left the will reading convinced his father had betrayed him or been coerced into betraying him.I don’t know why Ivy came there. Just asking for trouble, really.

Marriages aren’t all roses. You make hard choices sometimes but you stick it out.Ivy is a brilliant surgeon.

Her suitabilit

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 135 Before You Say Anything

    (Ivy)It’s almost midnight when security buzzes.Sleep has evaded me tonight thinking over my encounter with Nash. I’m so over his theatrics.I’m on my sofa with some warm milk.“Yes?” I say into the video call.“Mr. Varga is here, Dr. Calloway. Would you like us to let him through?”I sit up on the sofa. “Isaac?”“Yes.”“Like… here here?”There’s a pause. “Yes, Doctor.”“Okay. Of course. Send him through.”I put down my phone and look at myself.Sleep shorts. A T-shirt. Bare feet.Wonderful.I’m still pulling my hair out of its messy knot when the doorbell rings.Isaac stands outside with his jacket over one arm. “Surprise!”For a moment, I just look at him. “You’re supposed to be in Hungary.”“I was. But I flew in and I couldn’t think of anyone I wanted to see more.”I smile but I have butterflies inside. Not just from the desire I always feel with him. I’m nervous to say what I have to say. “You said the end of the month.”“My business circumstances changed. I needed to talk to you

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 134 The Last Conversation

    (Ivy)Nash is standing when I enter.Eleanor looks exhausted and sad. Harrington waves us in and his assistant closes the door.The envelope in my bag contains the parenting proposal. I’ve rehearsed how to begin this conversation all morning.Nash doesn’t give me the chance. “What are you doing here?”I look at him. “I have things I’d like you to know.”Nash laughs. “Oh, I just bet you do. Here to tell me what little plan you cooked up when Dad was on his deathbed.”“Excuse me?”“You think I don’t know what this is? Saint Ivy who can do no wrong. Everything is my fault. Why don’t you tell me whatever it is you coerced my father into.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Nash.”“What did he tell you, Ivy? I bet you know exactly what he did with his shares, with his controlling vote. Did you get him to sign them to you, just to spite me?”“Nash, that’s not what I’m here for,” I say.“You were there all the time. His wonderful daughter-in-law. He believed every word you said.”I hea

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 133 The Next Generation

    (Nash)Hannah calls while I’m on my way to Dad’s lawyers.“The board wants confirmation you’re continuing treatment.”“They have it.”“They want the updated confirmation. Your therapist’s office is sending it through.”Apparently, keeping my position means spending the rest of my life proving I deserve it.“Fine. Anything else?”“Your media statement is ready. We can release it after the reading.”“Good.”She made Saturday afternoon very pleasant. She understands that work is stressful and doesn’t demand a relationship discussion every time we’re alone.If only everyone could be that straightforward.***Mom is already in Harrington’s office.For a moment, I forget about the company. Mom looks shaken. It can’t be easy for her, but we’re here to get closure.I’m here to get what I deserve. No matter what Dad thought of me, I am his heir, the law is the law.Then Harrington opens the folder. “We’ll go through the provisions, and I’ll answer what I can afterward.”“Okay,” I say.Mom look

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 132 An Answer For Kate

    (Ivy)By eight on Monday morning, I’ve dealt with two staffing gaps, a delayed equipment delivery, and a consultant who thinks his operating list should take priority over everyone else’s.“It goes in clinical order,” I tell him. “Speak to the theatre coordinator. If there’s a medical reason to change it, she’ll bring it to me.”He doesn’t look pleased.He leaves anyway because he knows I won’t be swayed. Changes are for emergencies only.Mary puts a revised schedule beside my breakfast bagel.“Your nine o’clock is waiting. Finance needs approval on the replacement monitors, and nursing wants you at the bed-capacity meeting.”“Give me five minutes.” I stifle a yawn.I barely slept.Every time I drifted off, I dreamed about trying to tell Nash while Eleanor kept interrupting.Then one that had him proposing to me again as soon as he found out.That one felt horribly realistic.But I’m going to see him after the will reading, regardless. I’ve already let Russ know and he has the settlem

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 131 Something To Hope For

    (Ivy)Kate looks at me. “Ivy how are you? Your pregnancy?” She whispers.“Oh, we don’t have to talk about that.” I don’t want her to be triggered by talking about babies.“No, I want to. Are you going okay?”I nod. “I am. I told Sarah and I had a scan Friday.”“Do you have pictures? Can I see?”I reach into my bag and pass one over.“He’s ten weeks,” I tell her. “Measuring beautifully. Moving about like he’s got somewhere to be.”Kate studies the picture. “He’s grown.”“I know.”“I can still enjoy your happiness, Ivy. Even if I’m not sure about my babies…”“Thank you, Kate. But honestly, let’s just focus on getting you some information. I hope the Secretary of State has something soon.”“I know. Me too. You’ll like him.”“Who?”“Adrian. He’s so hot but he really cares, you know? He taught me so much about being a diplomat. He’s single too.”“And I’m pregnant with another man’s child. Are you really trying to matchmake me right now?”She smiles. “Well, you can still appreciate a sexy m
