I Left Broken and Fat, I Came Back His Boss With Triplets CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT: The Stone Wall
Liam's POVThe tires of the sedan scream against the wet asphalt as Marcus takes the corner onto Rue de Boulainvilliers at sixty miles an hour.Rain sheets across the windshield, blurring the streetlights into long, red smears. I sit in the passenger seat, my coat torn open, my tie discarded on the floorboards, my hands gripping the dashboard so hard the plastic groans under my weight."Where is Team Three?" I demand, my voice a rough, gravelly rasp that scrapes against my throat."Two blocks behind us, sir," Marcus says, his eyes locked on the dark road, his hands steady on the wheel. "Talia’s taxi was spotted turning off Avenue Mozart three minutes ago. She is heading for the rear alley behind the house."My heart is a wild, dying animal against my ribs.She skipped the flight. She ditched her luggage at Charles de Gaulle, took a cash cab back across the city, and is heading for the quiet residential alley where my children are
I Left Broken and Fat, I Came Back His Boss With Triplets CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN: The Center Of The Room
Emma's POV Madame Geneviève Beaumont’s silk-gloved hand rests lightly on my forearm as she leads me across the ballroom floor.The crowd of European aristocrats, diplomats, and industrial titans parts before us like water before the bow of a ship. Whispers follow our footsteps, rustling through the air like dry leaves, but I do not look at the faces in the crowd. I keep my head high, my posture straight, the heavy emerald silk of my dress sweeping over the polished floor with a soft, luxurious rustle.Geneviève stops before a tall, silver-haired man wearing a dark tuxedo and the red sash of the French Legion of Honor."Minister," Geneviève says, her voice smooth and cultured. "I would like you to meet Emma Bellamy. Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bellamy Inc."The Minister of Finance turns toward us. His sharp eyes sweep over my green gown, my gold earrings, and the calm, unyielding expression on my face, before settling into an expression of genuine respect."Ms. Bellamy," th
I Left Broken and Fat, I Came Back His Boss With Triplets CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX: The Memory of Green
Liam’s POVI cannot breathe.The air inside the Grand Palais is thick with the scent of expensive perfume, champagne, and white lilies, but my lungs refuse to pull it in.I stand in the shadow of a marble pillar, my dark coat hanging unbuttoned over my formal suit, my hands clenching into fists inside my pockets until the knuckles ache.Across the polished floor, under the blinding white light of the crystal chandeliers, stands Emma.And she is wearing green.It is the exact, deep, liquid emerald of the gown that lay across our bed in Los Angeles four years ago. I remember that night with a clarity that feels like a razor blade sliding through my heart. I remember standing in the bedroom doorway, looking at my watch, already bored, already detached, already thinking about Talia.I remember her standing before the mirror, her back turned to me, her fingers struggling with a zipper that would not close. I remember the slight, hope
I Left Broken and Fat, I Came Back His Boss With Triplets CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE: The Emerald Silk
Emma’s POVThe mirror in my dressing room reflects a woman I am still learning to inhabit.The emerald silk faille clings to the curve of my hips, structuring my waist, falling in a heavy, liquid column to the parquet floor. The neckline is a sharp, off-the-shoulder cut, exposing the long line of my throat and collarbones, while the back dips low, revealing the smooth skin I used to hide under oversized wool cardigans.Chantal kneels beside me, removing the final silver pins from the train."Look at yourself, Emma," Chantal whispers, standing up and stepping back to admire her work. "Look at what you carry."I look into the glass.Four years ago, I stood in a carpeted bedroom in Los Angeles, sweating, breathing in until my lungs burned, trying to force a zipper up my back while a man stood in the doorway and told me to wear something else. I wore the black dress that night. I wore the dress that apologized for taking up space.Tonight, the emerald silk does not apologize. It claims ev
I Left Broken and Fat, I Came Back His Boss With Triplets CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR: Gold Ink and Silk
Emma’s POVThe invitation sits in the middle of my desk like a gilded hand grenade.Heavy cream cardstock, triple-weighted, edged in real gold leaf. The script across the front is written in formal copperplate calligraphy, bearing the crest of the Beaumont-Delacroix estate and the personal seal of Madame Geneviève Beaumont.The Annual Paris Autumn Charity Gala. The Grand Palais. Eight o'clock.Noémie stands on the other side of my desk, her arms crossed, her dark eyes tracking the way the morning light catches the gold ink."She sent it by private courier," Noémie says, her tone dry and clipped. "Hand-delivered to the front desk at eight sharp. The courier had instructions to make sure I personally placed it in your hands."I lean back in my leather chair, tracing the raised lettering of my name with the tip of my thumb.Ms. Emma Bellamy. Founder & CEO, Bellamy Inc.Not Mrs.
I Left Broken and Fat, I Came Back His Boss With Triplets CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE: The Drawing Room
Emma’s POVThe drawing room of the 16th arrondissement apartment is quiet now, lit only by the golden glow of the hearth fire.In the dining room behind us, the noise of the birthday has finally faded. Ace is fast asleep on the sofa, his silver dinosaur pocket watch clutched against his chest. Grey is curled beside him, his compass resting in his small palm even in sleep. Willa sits in Adèle’s arms in the doorway, her thumb in her mouth, her silver rosebud locket tucked under her rabbit’s ear.Eleanor stands near the arched entryway, her coat over her arm. She looks at her sleeping grandchildren, her eyes filled with a quiet, devastating sorrow."Thank you, Emma," Eleanor whispers, her voice tight and thin. "You did not have to let me stay.""They deserve to know who their grandmother is," I tell her softly, standing by the mantelpiece. "Even if their grandfather tried to destroy their mother."Eleanor nods once, wiping a single tear from her cheek with her lace handkerchief. She does

Emma's POVI am at Cara's apartment. She has gone to stay with a friend of hers so that I can have some solo space. My mother arrives at two in the afternoon with an overnight bag, a casserole dish that smells like something that can fix most things, and the expression of a woman who has been wait
