Blake POV

The note found at Emily's door kept me awake for days. While the Lothan family had been

fighting for the twins, someone had been executing a larger operation. I needed to find out

what.

I started by reviewing security footage from the past six months-every location connected

to the Lothan family, every facility we'd accessed, every person we'd encountered. There

had to be a pattern.

Three days into my analysis, I found it.

  • Goodbye My Billionaire Ex-Husband Watch Me Win    CHAPTER 168: Last Day On The Water

    Nathan POVThe last morning arrived the way last mornings always do with the specific quality of something that knows it's finishing.Sofia understood this instinctively. She was up before anyone, sitting with her knees pulled to her chest watching the harbour wake up, quieter than she'd been all week.I sat beside her."You okay?" I asked."I don't want to go home," she said."I know.""Why can't the boat take us home?""The Thames has different berthing regulations."She looked at me. "You made that up.""I didn't. But yes, it's also not the point." I looked at the water with her. "What did you love most about this week?"She thought about it seriously. Sofia always has a thought before she speaks. People assumed because she talked fast she thought fast. She thought carefully and then talked fast. "Mommy," she said. "She laughed a lot. Real laughing, not polite laughing.""What's the difference?""Polite laughing is when she smiles with her mouth. Real laughing is when her whole fac

  • Goodbye My Billionaire Ex-Husband Watch Me Win    CHAPTER 167: What She Said

    Emily POVI told Nathan on the fourth night.The girls were asleep below Sofia curled into young Catherine the way she always did, both of them taking up far more space than two seven-year-olds had any right to occupy. Marcus had come for dinner.After dinner Nathan and I sat on the deck in the dark. Monaco around us. Wine between us."Marcus said you called him," Nathan said. "Before the girls arrived.""Yeah.""He said you told him things you'd been managing alone." He looked at me across the small table. "Do you want to tell me?"I had been deciding all day whether to. Not because I didn't trust him. Because some things lived so deep that saying them out loud made them permanent.But permanent was what I wanted now."When I left Jason," I said. "That night. The driveway." I looked at the harbour. "I had Ethan's hand and one suitcase and I knew Dad was awake because his study light was on but I sat in the driveway for forty-five minutes before I went to the door.""What were you doi

    Nathan POVSofia called at nine-seventeen AM.She didn't greet me. "Daddy, Grandpa says you and Mommy are on a boat. Can we come? Catherine says boats are safer than cars but I think she just wants to come and she's saying it to make it sound logical."I looked at Emily across the deck. She had her coffee and was watching me with the particular amusement she reserved for Sofia's phone calls."Hello Catherine," I said."Hello, Dad. Can we come?""We have five days left in Monaco. The boat has one bedroom.""We can sleep on the floor.""No Sofia.""Put Grandpa on."Rustling. Then Marcus. "Nathan. Before you say anything. I didn't suggest it. This was entirely their initiative.""How long have they been planning it?""Since Emily posted a photograph of the harbour on her private account two days ago.I looked at Emily. "Your daughter tracked our marina location from a photograph background using Google earth ."Emily put her coffee down. "Which one?""Young Catherine.""Of course." She

  • Goodbye My Billionaire Ex-Husband Watch Me Win    CHAPTER 165: Evening In Monaco

    Emily POVWe ate dinner on the deck as the sun went down.Nathan had gone ashore mid-afternoon and come back with things from a store, bread that was still warm, cheese I couldn't name but couldn't stop eating, tomatoes that tasted like actual tomatoes, a bottle of something local that the man at the stall had handed him with the firm conviction of someone who brooked no argument about wine.No restaurant. No reservation. No dress code.Just the two of us on the deck of a boat with food between us and Monaco turning amber around the edges."This is the best meal I've had in months," I said."It cost eleven euros.""Twenty if you count the wine.""The wine was fourteen euros.""Nathan. You spent twenty euros plus on the best meal I've had in months.""The location does most of the work." He tore off a piece of bread and handed it across. "Emily, when the acquisition completes. what changes for you? Practically.""Nothing immediately. The structure I built stays. James keeps the enginee

  • Goodbye My Billionaire Ex-Husband Watch Me Win    CHAPTER 164: What Marcus Built

    Nathan POVMarcus called at 10:03 AM on day three.Emily was in the water. She had told me at nine-forty that she was swimming and disappeared below deck. She came back wearing a black swimsuit, went off the stern ladder into Monaco harbour. I had watched from the deck with coffee and considerable appreciation.She was still in the water when my phone rang."Marcus.""Nathan. Is she nearby?""In the harbour."A pause. "She's swimming in Monaco harbour.""Yes.""Of course she is." I could hear the smile. "I'll call back.""She'll be out in ten minutes. Tell me what you need to tell me and I'll relay it." I looked at the water where Emily was doing a lazy backstroke twenty metres from the boat. "Marcus, whatever you're planning with the acquisition, she's going to say yes. You know that.""I know. But I want her to say it, not assume it." A pause. "Nathan, I need to tell you something before I speak with her. Something about the acquisition structure.""Tell me.""I'm not buying Lotus-L

  • Goodbye My Billionaire Ex-Husband Watch Me Win    CHAPTER 163: Slow Days

    Emily POVDay two on the water felt different from day one.Day one had been a relief, a specific exhale of people who had been running and finally stopped. Day two was more quiet and peaceful like something that required no name.We had toast and coffee on the deck at eight. Nathan was reading while I watched the harbour. A man on the boat two slips down argued cheerfully with someone on his phone in French. A child on the dock threw bread to pigeons with the generosity of someone for whom this was the most important task of the morning."You're smiling," Nathan said without looking up from his book."The pigeons."He glanced over. "The child.""Both."He went back to his book. I went back to watching.This was the thing I hadn't known I was missing, a quiet morning with no agenda. No briefing at nine, no strategic meeting at ten, no crisis landing in Blake's inbox that would become an issue to me within the next hour. Just bread, pigeons and Nathan reading three feet away."What are
