My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 110: Circle
Milan Fashion Week, fifteen years on, felt different than it used to.Not the city itself, which remained exactly what it had always been: beautiful and indifferent, pursuing its own business at its own pace, accommodating the fashion industry's annual invasion with the patience of somewhere that had been significant for much longer than any industry. The city had not changed. What had changed was Chloe's relationship to it, the way a place transforms when you have enough history with it to remember who you were when you first arrived.She remembered who she had been when she first arrived.Twenty-seven weeks pregnant, recently released from a hospital after three days of captivity, running on the particular fuel of someone who has decided that surrender is not available as an option. She had shown her collection from a chair backstage while a doctor monitored her condition from a discreet distance. She had fainted after learning the results. She had woken in a hospital room to find h
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 109: Fashion Legacy
The valuation appeared in a financial publication on a Wednesday morning, and Chloe read it at her desk in the London studio between a supplier call and a fitting, the way she read most significant news about her own company: quickly, practically, already thinking about what it meant for the next decision rather than the number itself.One point two billion dollars.She set her phone down and looked at the mood board on the wall opposite her desk, covered in fabric swatches and colour references and photographs from the research trip her team had taken to a community of natural dyers in Oaxaca the previous spring. The board was for the collection after next, still in its early stages, still more question than answer.She thought: I should call Lucien.Then she thought: he already knows. He probably knew before the article published.She was right. His message was already in her phone when she looked: Congratulations. Though the number is slightly conservative. And then, after a pause
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 108: Renewed Vows
Chloe thought they were going to Greece for a holiday.This was not unreasonable. They had been to the same private beach estate twice before, once for their honeymoon and once for a summer week when the twins were two and Marcus was not yet born and everyone had agreed that what the family needed was ten days with no schedule and direct access to warm water. She had good memories of the place. When Lucien suggested it for their fifth anniversary, she had agreed without suspicion and spent a pleasant hour researching whether the fish restaurant they had loved was still operating.It was only when the car turned up the coastal road toward the estate and she saw the flower arrangements lining the path to the beach that she understood something different was happening.She turned to look at Lucien.He was watching her with the particular expression he had when he was pleased with himself but attempting to appear neutral."Lucien.""We're almost there.""What did you do?""I'll explain wh
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 107: The Twins' Personalities
Emma discovered fabric the way some children discover music: suddenly, completely, and with an intensity that made it clear this was not a passing interest.It started with a remnant bin.Chloe kept a large basket in the corner of her home studio where she put fabric off-cuts too small for professional use but too interesting to throw away. Scraps of Italian wool, ends of organic cotton in unusual colours, pieces of experimental weave that hadn't made it into a collection. She had always kept a bin like this, going back to her earliest days designing, the habit of someone who found it difficult to waste good material.Emma, at six, discovered the basket on a rainy Saturday afternoon when she had exhausted every other option in the house and wandered into the studio with the particular aimless energy of a bored child. Chloe heard nothing for twenty minutes, which was long enough to be suspicious, and went to investigate.Emma was sitting on the floor surrounded by fabric scraps, arrang
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 106: Leo's Teen Years
The first piece Leo sold was a hoodie.He had designed it himself, working at the small drafting table in his bedroom that had started as a place for homework and gradually accumulated fabric swatches, sketch pads, and a secondhand sewing machine he had researched for three weeks before asking for it as a birthday present. The hoodie was oversized, structured at the shoulders in a way that was unusual for the style, made from deadstock cotton he had sourced himself after watching Chloe negotiate with suppliers often enough to understand that deadstock was both cheaper and more sustainable than new fabric.He sold it to a boy in his class for forty pounds. The boy wore it the following Monday, and by Friday, Leo had three more orders.He came to Chloe with the orders written in a notebook, his handwriting still the large, slightly uneven script of someone who had not fully made peace with the size of his own hands. He laid the notebook on the kitchen table and explained what had happen
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 105: Teaching
The idea started with a CV that arrived in the wrong inbox.Chloe's assistant flagged it as misdirected, a general application with no specific role attached, sent to the fashion house's main contact address rather than the recruitment portal. Standard procedure was to send an automated response directing applicants to the proper channel. The assistant mentioned it only because something in the covering letter had made her pause before deleting it.Chloe read the letter that evening.The applicant's name was Diana Osei. She was forty-one years old. She had trained as a textile designer in her mid-twenties, worked for three years at a mid-sized fashion house in Birmingham, and then left the industry entirely when her husband was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's and required full-time care. She had spent eight years as his carer. He had died fourteen months ago. She was rebuilding from the point where her career had stopped, with a portfolio that was eight years out of date and sk

Milan Fashion Week becomes a blur of shows, meetings, and stolen moments with Lucien.We have breakfast together the next morning. A quiet café away from the fashion crowd. We talk about our childhoods—his growing up wealthy but emotionally neglected, mine growing up poor but loved before our mothe

Lucien arrives on a Thursday afternoon. I'm at the studio, finishing a meeting with investors about the Asia expansion. My phone buzzes with a text from Maureen."Mr. Cross is here. Charlotte is very excited."My stomach flips. He's early. I wasn't supposed to pick him up from his hotel until dinne

I don't sleep that night. I lie in the hotel bed, replaying the conversation with Lucien, staring at the check, feeling the baby kick.By morning, I'm exhausted and no closer to an answer.My flight to London is at six PM. I have one day left in New York.I'm packing when there's a knock at my door

I spend three days thinking about everything. Lucien's explanation. Blair's request. London. Leo. The baby. My future.The pieces don't fit together neatly. They never do.On the fourth day, I make my decision. I call Blair."I'll do it. I'll take custody of Leo."She cries on the phone. Relief, gr
