My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 171: Bridge at Scale
The Bridge offices occupied two floors of a building in King's Cross that had been a Victorian warehouse before it was anything else, and Jack had kept the exposed brick and the original iron columns because he liked the reminder that things could be repurposed without losing what made them sound. He was twenty-nine and had been running the company for eleven years, since the app he had built at fifteen had become something larger than either he or anyone else had initially imagined it could be.Bridge now operated in forty countries. Three million users. The mentorship-matching algorithm that had once been the subject of a regulatory challenge was now, six years on, cited as the industry standard, the framework that other companies were measured against rather than the framework that had needed defending. The partnership programme — governments, universities, NGOs, all running their mentorship initiatives on Bridge's infrastructure — had become large enough that Jack had, the previou
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 170: The Wedding
The wedding was in October, in a converted chapel on the grounds of a small estate outside Dublin, the kind of venue that had once been something else entirely and had been given over, with care, to becoming what it was now needed for.The Cross family arrived in full, which meant a level of logistical complexity that Lucien took on with the quiet efficiency he had brought to every family event for thirty years and that retirement had not diminished, only relocated. He had spent the week before coordinating flights and accommodations and the specific requirements of moving a family that now spanned three generations and several countries into a single Irish location for four days. Leo and Daniel arrived from London with Clara, now ten and full of opinions about Irish wildlife she had researched in advance, and Matteo, seven, who had brought a small bag of marine specimens he had collected on a previous trip and wanted to compare against whatever he found on the Irish coast. Jack and P
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 169: The Proposal
It was a Wednesday in late August, and Emma had not eaten since breakfast.She had been in the studio since seven that morning, working on the Berlin commission, a piece that had grown out of the Tokyo work but had developed its own logic in the months since: a single suspended form, larger than anything in Shed, made to hang in the atrium of a gallery in Mitte with a ceiling height that allowed for something genuinely vertical. She had been working on the structural armature for three days and had reached the point in a piece where the work absorbed time without registering it, where the studio's windows went from morning light to afternoon light to the long gold of early evening without the transition announcing itself.Saoirse let herself in at half past six with two paper bags from the place down the street, the Thai restaurant that did the green curry Emma liked, and found Emma standing on a step stool with her arms raised into the armature, adjusting something at the top with th
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 168: Saoirse's Family
The Murphys lived in Westmeath, two hours from Dublin by car, in a house outside a town called Mullingar that Saoirse had described as her mother's house with her father in it, which Emma had understood as a description of the domestic architecture of their marriage rather than a statement about ownership.They had met Saoirse's parents twice before: once in Dublin at a gallery opening two years ago, briefly, in the context of the event rather than the context of the relationship, which meant the introductions had been light and the expectations minimal. Once in London, even more briefly, when Saoirse's mother had been visiting a friend and they had had lunch, the three of them, which had been warm and slightly performed in the way of a first real meeting that both parties were trying to get right.This was different. This was the first weekend, invited explicitly as Saoirse's partner, staying in the house, in the category of introduction that meant: this is a person who is part of my

Emma left Seoul on a Wednesday in late March, the installation having completed its run the previous weekend with the final rotation assembled and then, over two careful days, taken down.The taking-down had been its own process. She and Ji-young had worked through it methodically, each garment disassembled according to the documentation they had developed across the six months, the materials sorted into the streams that would re-enter production: the natural fibres to one supplier, the recycled ocean plastics to another, the structural elements to a third. Nothing wasted. The piece had been designed for this ending from its beginning, the disassembly as much a part of the work as the assembly had been. Emma had understood this intellectually from the start and understood it differently, more physically, while her hands were doing it.Ji-young had been quiet through most of the two days, which was not unusual for her but had a different quality, the quiet of someone marking an ending
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 166: The Installation
The opening was on a Thursday evening in late February, six weeks before the installation's run ended and the final rotation would be assembled and then, for the last time, taken down.Emma had been in the gallery since seven in the morning, which was not unusual for an opening day and which Ji-young had accommodated by arriving at seven-fifteen with two coffees and the clipboard she used for the day-of logistics. They had spent the morning on final adjustments: the lowest garment, the one that was almost within reach, had developed a slight rotation overnight from an air current near the ventilation system that Emma wanted corrected before the public saw it. The correction took forty minutes and was invisible once completed and was entirely necessary.Park Jisoo arrived at noon, the museum's curator who had overseen the commission and who had, since Emma's introduction of Ji-young three months earlier, been in regular conversation with her about the spring emerging artists programme.

Three weeks into my London life, Blair flies over to visit. I pick her up at Heathrow with Leo, who bounces with excitement."Mom! Mom!" He runs to her at arrivals, and she drops her bags to hug him."Hi, baby. I missed you so much."Watching them together, I see something different in Blair. She h

The flight to London is long and uncomfortable. At nearly thirty weeks pregnant, my body protests every moment of the cramped airline seat. But I refuse to upgrade to business class despite being able to afford it now. The five million dollars sits in my account, untouched. Using Lucien's money fee

I wake to beeping machines and antiseptic smell. Hospital. Again. My mouth tastes like cotton and my head feels stuffed with wool."Chloe?" Lucien's voice, rough and urgent. "Can you hear me?"I force my eyes open. The lights are dim, thankfully. Lucien sits beside the bed, his hand gripping mine l

Lucien's penthouse is exactly what I expected. Sleek, modern, expensive. Floor to ceiling windows overlooking Central Park. Minimalist furniture in shades of gray and white. Abstract art on the walls. Everything perfect and controlled, just like him."The guest room is down this hall," he says, whe
