(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

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 87 A Very Good Reason

    (Ivy)“I can’t forget what Piper did,” Dad says.“You don’t have to.”“She helped destroy your marriage.”“Piper couldn’t have taken Nash anywhere he wasn’t willing to go. There were many before her.” I’m not siding with Piper, but Dad needs to try and let it go.“He was your husband.”“Yes. Which made being faithful his responsibility. I can handle it, Dad. I promise Nash will not get away with it. I will stick up for myself and you have to let me.”“I know.”“Piper made her choices. Nash made his. Neither of them gets to dictate what happens to your marriage now. I don’t want you alone and miserable because of what they did.”He looks toward my garden. “I don’t know whether I can get past it.”“Dad stop making what happened to me your excuse. I can’t deal with people putting their life on hold because of me anymore. Go somewhere with Alexa. Talk about your marriage.”“And you’ll be all right?”“Dad, look at this place. I’m considerably better than all right.”He smiles.“You are you

    (Ivy)Dad takes one look at the entrance hall. “Good heavens.”“I know.”“Is there a map?”“I’m considering having some printed.”He laughs and hugs me. “You look well.”“I feel well.”“I saw the live interview with Lola.”“Did I embarrass you?”“Not remotely.”“Even the orderly queue of bachelors?”He laughs.I lead him into the kitchen.Kate greets him warmly. “David, it’s been too long.”“I hear you’re keeping Ivy organized,” he says.“Mary and I are trying.”“You always said you’d run for vice president when you got back home.”Kate gives a small smile. “This suits me for now.”“Any thoughts about going back overseas?” he asks.“Not yet.” She closes her laptop. “I’ll leave you two to catch up.”Dad watches her go.“She seem… tired.”“She hasn’t been herself. But she says she’s fine.”I gather some cold drinks. “Come look at the garden.”“I’ve a feeling I may need a compass.”I smile and head outside to sit at the garden seats.“Wow, Ivy. Wouldn’t your mother have loved this?”“She

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 85 Watch Me Celebrate

    (Ivy)“She actually stopped me on my way back to the hospital to tell me how wonderful her life is.”Kate looks up from her laptop. “Piper?”“Who else?”I slide my phone across the kitchen island.Another post. Another collection of comments congratulating her for being chosen.Apparently, helping yourself to somebody else’s husband is an accomplishment now.“She thinks I’m jealous,” I say.“She needs you to be.”“She can think whatever she likes. But she doesn’t get to keep advertising what they did to me as some beautiful love story while insulting everything I’ve worked for.”Kate reads the post.“Right. How motivated are you to bring them crashing back to earth??”“Super motivated.”Her grin spreads. For a moment, she looks like herself again. “Excellent. No backing out on this divorce party then?”I pull my chair closer. “No way. Let’s take that bitch down.”Since moving in, Kate’s taken over my calendar, working with Mary to keep hospital commitments from clashing with everythin

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 84 Everyone Wants An Invitation

    (Piper)“Get my ring in it.”Lacey lowers her phone. “It’s in every shot, don’t worry.”“Make sure it catches the light,” I tell them as I smile widely.I turn my hand beside my champagne flute.Sparkling juice. The restaurant put it in the crystal flute without being asked.They know who I am.Across the table, Simone moves her bag out of the photograph.“Should we toast?”“Yes. Wait until Lacey’s recording,” I instruct.I rest my other hand over my stomach.“Ready?” Lacey asks.“To becoming Mrs. Hawke,” I say as I raise my glass.The girls lift their glasses.“And the wedding of the century,” Simone adds.I laugh and let Lacey finish filming before I reach for her phone.“Send me that. It’s perfect.”***My wedding announcement is already getting shared.The date. A photograph of Nash and me. A little pink heart for our daughter.I’ve chosen the caption carefully.A beautiful career can fill your calendar. A beautiful family fills your life. I know what I’m choosing.“You’re going t

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 83 Playing For My Attention

    (Nash)Varga’s hand is on her back.I enlarge the photograph.His face is close to hers. Ivy is looking up at him, smiling.That fucking smile. His eyes, hungry for her.She knows I’ll see this. She knows exactly what it’ll do to me.Being seen with the man trying to steal my company?She couldn’t make it more obvious if she sent me the photograph herself.“Are you listening?” Jack asks.“Look at this.” I turn my phone toward him.“I’ve seen it. Their photos are everywhere.”“And?”“And we have a board vote to prepare for.”“He’s using her.”“I don’t fucking care, Nash. And neither should you.”“He’s not interested in Ivy. He’s interested in getting to me.”“Then why are you letting him?”I snatch the phone back. “She’s never looked at another man like that. Like she used to look at me. I hate seeing it.”“Then perhaps you should stop looking at the gossip online.”I put the phone facedown.Ivy hated public attention when we were married.Now she’s out with Varga, dressed like a movie

But this is so amazing.I never expected to be pregnant. It was never really something I needed to feel fulfilled as a woman.I made my choices long ago. But there was a time when I did consider a family life with Nash.Just before I discovered that photo with his watch and knew he was cheating.After the shock of that hit me, I thanked my lucky stars that I deided not to have kids with him.I was grateful that I put my career first. A child would’ve made my decision to leave so much harder.Maybe I wouldn’t have left.But now, I am pregnant and I’ve already left. I’m not going back. Not for any reason.But there is still a little sadness for what might’ve been if Nash hadn’t done what he did.My office door is locked.I press my h
