My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 88
Ten days before the wedding, I'm at my studio finalizing details for the ceremony reception when my assistant interrupts."There's someone here to see you. She doesn't have an appointment but says it's important.""Who?""Sofia Conti."My blood runs cold. Sofia. Here. Now. Ten days before I marry Lucien."Should I send her away?" my assistant asks.I should say yes. Should refuse to see her. But curiosity wins."No. Send her in."Sofia enters looking different from the last time I saw her. Less polished. More human. Her hair is simple, her clothes understated. She looks nervous."Chloe. Thank you for seeing me.""Sofia. This is unexpected.""I know. I'm sorry to come unannounced. But I heard about your wedding. I needed to talk to you before it happens."My guard goes up. "If you're here to cause trouble—""I'm not. Please. Just hear me out."Against my better judgment, I gesture to a chair. We sit across from each other, tension thick."My father was arrested three weeks ago," Sofia

Three weeks before the wedding, Blair calls."Can I come visit? I need to talk to you about something.""Of course. Is everything okay?""Everything's fine. I just need to do this in person."She arrives the next day with James and Emma. They're a proper family now. James is devoted to Blair. Emma is thriving. Blair looks happy in a way I've never seen before.We have tea while the kids play. Leo is showing Emma his toys despite her being too young to appreciate them. Charlotte is "helping" by narrating everything."You look good," I tell Blair. "Motherhood suits you this time.""It does. I'm actually ready now. That makes all the difference.""What did you need to talk about?"She exchanges a look with James. He nods encouragingly."I want to give up my parental rights to Leo."The words hit me like a punch. "What?""Not abandoning him. Not disappearing. But legally, officially, I want you and Lucien to adopt him fully. No shared custody. No legal complications. He's your son. He sho

The day after the adoption is finalized, we start planning the wedding in earnest."We have three months," I say, spreading bridal magazines across the dining table. "That's not a lot of time.""It's plenty," Lucien says. "We'll hire a planner. They'll handle everything.""I don't want a planner. I want to plan our wedding ourselves.""Why? Planners exist for a reason.""Because this is our wedding. It should reflect us, not some planner's vision.""Fair enough. So what do you want?"I pull up photos I've saved. "Something intimate. Small. Maybe thirty people. Close friends and family. Somewhere beautiful but understated. Maybe a garden. Or a small chapel. Simple flowers. Elegant but not ostentatious."Lucien looks at the photos, then at me. "Thirty people?""Maybe forty. But no more than fifty.""Chloe, I have business contacts who would be offended not to be invited.""Then don't invite them. This isn't a business event.""In our world, everything is business. You know that.""But o

We arrive back in London on a Tuesday evening. Charlotte hasn't stopped talking about the wedding since we told her."When do I get my princess dress? Can I have flowers? Will there be cake?""Yes to all of that, sweetheart. We'll plan everything together."Leo is with us this week. He's been quieter than usual since we told him about the engagement.That night, after Charlotte is asleep, Lucien and I sit down with Leo in the living room."Can we talk?" I ask."Am I in trouble?""No, sweetheart. We just want to check in. See how you're feeling about everything."Leo shrugs. "I'm fine.""You seem quiet. That's not like you.""I'm just thinking.""About what?" Lucien asks gently.Leo picks at a thread on the couch cushion. "When you get married, what happens to me?"My heart clenches. "What do you mean?""Charlotte is your daughter. And Lucien's daughter. You're both her parents. But I'm not really yours. Not legally. Blair is my mom. So when you get married and have a family, where do

It's exhausting but it works.When he's in London, he stays at my flat. Charlotte adores having him there. So does Leo when he's with us.When he's in New York, we video call every evening. Charlotte tells him about her day. I tell him about work. We maintain connection despite distance.It's not perfect. I miss him when he's gone. He misses us.

The morning after committing to Lucien, we start fighting back."First step," Lucien says over breakfast while Charlotte colors at the table, "we expose Victor's smear campaign. My investigators have been gathering evidence.""You've had investigators on this?""Since the first attack on your team. I wasn't going to sit idle while he destroyed you.""But I told you not to help.""I told you I'd respect your decision. I didn't say I'd stop protecting you."I should be angry. But I'm not. I'm grateful."What did they find?""The 'anonymous sources' cited in those greenwashing articles? They're all connected to Zhang Enterprises. Employees, contractors, people on Victor's payroll. We have documentation proving the connection.""That's defamation.""Yes. My lawyers are drafting a lawsuit. We'll file today. Public statement goes out simultaneously exposing Victor's tactics.""Won't that make him angrier?""Probably. But he'll be too busy defending himself to continue attacking you."We spe

The flight to Paris was my first time on a private plane. Lucien had chartered it for the entire team—me, Riley, Margaret, the models, hair and makeup artists, and essential crew."This is how you travel for Fashion Week?" I asked Riley as we settled into leather seats that were more comfortable th

Back at the hotel after the hospital, I stood in my suite dripping on the carpet, wrapped in a thermal blanket. The paramedics had cleared me to leave but warned again about stress and physical exertion.Lucien paced near the window, still in his wet clothes, his jaw tight with barely controlled em

The next morning, Rachel Kim called before I even reached the studio."Mr. Cross wants to see you immediately. He says it's urgent."I went straight to his office, not bothering to drop my bag. Lucien sat behind his desk surrounded by files and legal documents, looking like he hadn't slept."Sit,"

Show day.The backstage area was chaos. Models sat in makeup chairs getting transformed. Hair stylists worked with hot tools and hairspray. Dressers rushed between racks pulling specific garments. Photographers documented everything. Music played from someone's speaker. People shouted instructions
