My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 133: Next Chapter
Blair called on a Sunday in April, which was their usual time, but her opening sentence was not the usual opening."I'm selling the boutiques," she said.Chloe waited, knowing there was more."All ten locations. I've had an offer from a retail group that wants the brand and the infrastructure. They'll keep the sustainable focus, keep most of the staff, continue the supplier relationships I've built." A pause. "It's a good offer. It's the right time. And I'm ready to stop.""Stop running them," Chloe said. "Not stop working."Blair's voice warmed slightly, the specific warmth of being understood without having to explain. "Correct. I've been thinking about what I actually want to do. Not what I'm good at, not what made sense as the next step from modelling. What I want." Another pause, longer. "I want to go back to the beginning of where I went wrong and do something different there."She explained what she meant across the next twenty minutes, and Chloe listened with the full attentio
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 132: The Foundation
Catherine had been the foundation's executive director for three years when she presented the annual report at the board meeting in January, and Chloe sat at the table and listened to her speak about the organisation with the authority of someone who owned its direction, and felt something that was entirely positive and required a moment to identify.She was no longer the most important person in the room.Not marginalised, not replaced, but correctly positioned: a founder and board member who provided strategic direction and whose vision had shaped everything, but who was not the operational centre. Catherine was the operational centre. She knew the programme details, the beneficiary numbers, the staff challenges, the partnership negotiations, all the daily substance of a growing organisation, with a fluency that came from full immersion.Chloe knew the big picture and trusted Catherine with the rest.This had taken longer to genuinely feel right than she had expected. The intellectu
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 131: Empty Nest Begins
The house was quieter than it used to be.Not quiet, not yet, not with Marcus still requiring the full presence of parenting and Emma and Jack oscillating between independence and the baseline need for home to be reliably there. But quieter in the specific way of a household whose density had changed, one person removed from the daily count in a way that redistributed the atmosphere of the place.Leo had been gone for six weeks when Chloe first sat with the quietness directly, on a Sunday morning in October, standing in the doorway of his bedroom. Clara had kept it tidy in his absence, not changed, just maintained. His drafting table was clear. The fabric swatches were still pinned to the board above it. The streetwear samples that hadn't made it into his luggage hung on the rail in the corner.She stood there for a moment without going in.She was not sad exactly. She had a postcard from Leo pinned to the kitchen noticeboard, sent from Kyoto after his first week at the fabric manufac
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 130: Decisions
The acceptances arrived across three weeks in March, each one producing a response in the household that Leo bore with increasing difficulty.Wharton arrived first. Lucien read the email over Leo's shoulder at the kitchen table and said nothing for a moment, then said, with the controlled enthusiasm of someone managing their reaction: "That's a significant programme." Which was Lucien for: I want this for you and I am trying not to say so too loudly.Parsons arrived four days later. Chloe was in the studio when Leo forwarded it to her and she called him immediately, and in her voice was the same controlled enthusiasm, the same careful management, which Leo recognised as identical in structure to Lucien's and different only in direction.The London College of Fashion arrived the week after. Blair sent a voice note when Leo mentioned it, twenty seconds of genuine excitement followed by a recommendation that he consider the Paris campus of a programme she had heard about from someone in
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 129: Marriage Evolution
The moment Chloe identified afterward as the one that clarified things happened on a Thursday evening in February, when she and Lucien had dinner together for the first time in eleven days.Not the first time they had eaten at the same table. The family dinners had continued, loud and present, the full household gathered most evenings. But those were family dinners, managed rather than inhabited, each parent arriving from their respective days and navigating four children through the meal and the bedtime that followed, the conversation functional and the attention divided until the house was quiet and both of them were tired in ways that made a real conversation feel like one more demand at the end of an already demanding day.The Thursday dinner was supposed to be different: a restaurant, just the two of them, the kind of evening they had been meaning to plan for several months and had not managed to schedule until Clara had essentially scheduled it for them, appearing with Chloe's d
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 128: Riley's Departure
Riley asked for a meeting on a Monday morning, which was unusual.In fifteen years of working together, they had not met in the formal sense of scheduled calendar appointments between the two of them. They talked constantly, in the studio and outside it, in the natural rhythm of a working relationship that had long since become something else as well. Riley did not schedule meetings with Chloe. She appeared at her desk or called her mobile or sent a message that said can we talk and they talked.The calendar invitation, sent through the studio's official scheduling system, subject line reading Meeting - Riley Chen, was different enough that Chloe sat with it for a moment when it appeared.She confirmed it and said nothing, the way she had learned to give people the space to say what they were preparing to say without anticipating it in a way that changed what they said.Riley came in on Monday morning with the composed steadiness of someone who had made a decision and was not uncertai

Three days until Fashion Week.The journalist's name was Victoria Chen, and she wrote for the most influential fashion publication in the country. Her profiles could make or break designers. When she requested an interview, Lucien's PR team insisted I accept."This is exactly the coverage we need,"

Ten days until Fashion Week.I was in the studio reviewing model schedules with Riley when Blair walked in unannounced."We need to talk," she said without preamble.Riley immediately stood up, positioning herself between us like a bodyguard. "You're not supposed to be here. Security should have st

Two weeks until Fashion Week.I was leaving the studio around eight in the evening, exhausted from another eighteen hour day. Derek, my security guard, walked slightly ahead of me toward the subway entrance.That's when I heard it. A small sniffle coming from the shadows near my apartment building

In Lucien's car, driving away from the police station, I couldn't stop crying.It wasn't just tears. It was full body sobs that shook my shoulders and made it hard to breathe. All the stress and fear and humiliation of the past hours came pouring out.I'd been arrested. Handcuffed. Treated like a c
