After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 48 You Know Why
(Ivy)“I’ve always loved you, Ivy,” Robert says.For a few seconds, neither of us says anything.Robert has said the words I always knew were sitting there between us.I should feel happy. I should feel lucky.Instead, I feel frustrated.“Robert,” I say. “I appreciate that you would stand beside me in that way. I really do.”“But?”“Nash will eventually find out. He will get proof. I am not going to lie and say you are the father. I’m not going to use my baby as a weapon.”“I never asked you to.”“I know. But you said you would let the world think the baby is yours.”“If that is what you needed.”“I don’t need that.” My voice rises. “I need a breather, Robert. I need time to work out how I am going to raise this baby without Nash turning every single thing into proof that I am meant to be with him.”Robert looks at me. “I understand that.”“No, you don’t. You don’t know what it is like to have him in your head all the time. Every decision I make, he twists it around until it means I l
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 47 A Way Out
(Nash)Mom, Piper, and I arrive at the hospital together.Mom goes straight to the intensive care desk when we get there.“Nash needs to see Owen,” she says. “I insist.”The nurse glances at the computer. “You’ll need to speak with the doctor, Mrs. Hawke.”“Then get him here or on the phone immediately.”We wait for ten minutes then the doctor arrives.“Mrs. Hawke, Mr. Hawke. I’m just about to go in evening rounds.”“Thank you for seeing us, Doctor. My husband is critically ill,” Mom says. “He needs family around him. I can’t stay here all night, and Nash is his son. I need his support.”The doctor looks at Dad’s notes.“He requested that Nash stay away.”“When he was admitted through emergency, yes. But he wasn’t thinking straight.” Mom says. “He was under stress and if anything happens… well it’s just unthinkable he might be alone.”“Owen is still hanging in the balance,” he says. “I do understand this is very stressful for you Mrs. Hawke. I’ll allow Nash to visit, but still one per
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 46 Full Of Surprises
(Ivy)Sarah has folders spread across the meeting table in my new office.This isn’t just an office, it's a whole suite. I could almost live here.There are fresh flowers on the windowsill, a new nameplate beside the door, and a view over half the city.“This is the VIP list,” Sarah says, sliding the first folder toward me. “Major donors, board members, senior staff, and their immediate families.”I look through it.People with money and influence always expect faster access, private rooms, and a personal number to call at two in the morning.“Every one of my patients gets the same standard of care.”“I know they do. You have integrity. But we let these people think whatever they need to.”I continue through the list. There are a few names I know. A senator’s wife. The daughter of one of the hospital’s biggest donors.A celebrity who had donated an entire wing after her twins spent months in neonatal intensive care.Sarah’s phone rings. She glances at the screen and sighs.“I need to

(Nash)My phone rings as I reach the hallway.Jack.“Tell me you have good news.”“I don’t.”“Well, today is the day for it apparently. I just got put on a leash by the board and I have a compulsory therapy session to get to. So talk…”“I went through every document you signed without knowing.”“And..?”“You signed the property settlement as part of the same package.”“Fuck. Surely I can contest that?”“You did sign it, Nash. It’s binding. We may be able to argue some of it but considering you are the reason the marriage broke down…”“Whatever, just tell me what she took.”“Half your personal assets, the properties, investments, residential holdings, cash in the banks, everything.”“Damn it. I need a place to live. Can you do that for me?”“No. The assets are tied up until the transfers are complete. You can’t touch a thing. Everything is now frozen.”“The banks will lend me some...”“The banks have seen the headlines, the board review, and the legal position. Nobody’s lending agains

(Nash)I’m in the board meeting they called.No option to not attend. This should be fun. Not.The chairman hands me a document as soon as I sit down.“Read it,” he says.I look at the heading.EMERGENCY EXECUTIVE SUPERVISION PROTOCOL.“What’s this?”“The board’s decision.”I read the first paragraph.Effective immediately, Hawke Industries is appointing an external crisis-management executive with authority over all public communication, investor relations, media response, and any matter that could affect market confidence.“What the hell does this mean?” I ask.“It means you will not make a public statement, approve a major decision, or travel for personal reasons without consulting this person first.”“You think I need a glorified babysitter? You are taking control of my company.”“We know you need a babysitter. We’re ensuring this company is not damage any further.”I look around the table.Nobody looks away.The chairman continues, “the board will review your position twice a mon
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 43 Caught Red-Handed
(Ivy)Kate has only been gone for a second when I spot the black SUV parked near the staff entrance.The license plate says it all.HAWKE 1.Damn it. Eleanor’s car is out here. If she comes out…I go to wait at the side of the building instead.“Ivy?” Eleanor Hawke’s voice stops me.Goddamn it. Why? I turn around.Piper stands beside her, one hand resting over the small curve of her stomach. She is barely showing.“What are you doing out here?” Eleanor asks as she looks at the cars parked and I know she knows none of them are mine.I keep my voice even. “I’m here with a friend.”Her eyes move over me. Her gaze rests on my abdomen. “I see.”I glance down and see I’m not tucked in at the front properly.Damn, I’m so used to scrubs I forgot to tuck in properly.Eleanor clearly notices.I see the question light up in her eyes as she makes eye contact again. “Of course. I hope your friend gets good news.”“She’s just bringing the car from out front,” I blurt out.“Really? I never saw you i
