(Ivy)

“Honey, what’s wrong?” I ask.

His eyes flick toward Robert before settling back on me.

“Can we talk? Privately?”

“Of course.”

Robert holds up his glass to me and winks then heads towards my dad.

Nash guides me out onto the balcony.

I turn toward him and smile like he’s the only man in the world. I stare at my cheating husband like he hung the moon.

He searches my face for several long seconds.

I wait. It must be hard to form the question.

He can’t exactly ask if I’ve been lying about know

  • 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

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 15 One Last Time

    (Ivy)Robert comes back to the table carrying another round of drinks.“Did you two solve the world’s problems while I was gone?” he asks.“Looks like you were with your new lady friend over at the bar,” I say.“Are you jealous?” He asks with a grin.“You wish.”I take the wine Robert puts in front of me and have a small sip. I’ve already decided this one is going to last me the rest of the night.Nash thinks I’m working.I’m happy to let him keep thinking that. I’ll sort that out when I get home.Kate raises her glass. “To friends.”I smile. “I’ll drink to that.”Tomorrow.If Kate can do what she says she can, tomorrow I’ll finally have my divorce.Robert looks between us and raises his glass. “Friends... and family.”We talk about everything except Nash and problems.We dredge up some memories from when we all first met. Kate mentions how Robert was smitten with the new quiet girl in med school.He laughs and says he’d misjudged me completely and I wasn’t quiet at all.I laugh with

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 14 Getting Thrown A Lifeline

    (Ivy)“It’s not the cheating,” I say. Then I think about how silly that sounds. “Well, it is. Obviously. But there’s more.”Kate looks at me. “What more could there possibly be. Cheating is enough.”“You might think that, yes. But, he got someone pregnant.”Kate’s eyes widen. “Nash?”“No, the mailman. Yes, Nash.”“Jesus, Ivy.”“It gets worse.”“How can it possibly get worse?”“The woman he got pregnant is Piper Official.”“Who’s Piper Official?”“Have you been living under a rock?”She looks down, “you could say that.” She looks back up, “but who is this Piper?”“Piper Official is the newest internet sensation who’s been flaunting her mystery billionaire baby daddy and she is also my new stepsister.”“What the fuck?” Kate is wide-eyed again now.“Pretty much my reaction.”“Does your dad know?”“No. And neither does Alexa, as far as I know.”“And Nash knows the baby is his?”“DNA confirmed.”Kate reaches for her wine. “Okay. I think you’d better tell me everything.”So I do.By the tim

  • After I Left the Billionaire   Chapter 13 If He Finds Out, I’m Cooked

    (Ivy)Kate looks different.The cropped hair and she’s thinner than the last time I saw her. Her eyes have a shadow in them that never used to be there.But the grin is exactly the same.I hug her again. “Two years, Kate. Two whole years.” Tear well in my eyes.It’s almost too much emotionally seeing her right now. Like everything is hitting me all at once.“I know,” she says. Her eyes are full of tears too. “I never thought I’d see you again.”I pull out of the hug and look at her. “Of course you’d see me again. But you didn’t tell me you were coming home.”“I… I didn’t really know exactly…” Kate falters.“That would’ve ruined the surprise,” Robert interjects with a smile.“I hate surprises,” I say.“I know,” Kate says with a small smile.Robert laughs. “Sorry, not sorry.”I slide into the booth beside Kate. “Why are you back? Last time we spoke, you were still expecting another year or two at that diplomatic post.”Kate reaches for her wine. “Things changed quickly. The smaller cou
