She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 319 Breathe
(Chloe)"Partners, position yourselves behind your birthing person," Marisol says, and Mason moves like he's been given a military order.Twelve couples on yoga mats, fairy lights, a diffuser working overtime, and my baby's father sitting behind me in a two-hundred-dollar dress shirt at prenatal class.He came straight from a board meeting.He brought a notepad."Nobody else has a notepad," I whisper."Nobody else is going to remember the hip-squeeze technique either. They’ll be sorry they weren’t taking notes when the actual birth starts.""It's breathing, Mason. I've been doing it my whole life.""It's patterned breathing. There's a structure."Marisol claps twice."We'll start with the slow-paced breath. In for four, out for eight. Partners, breathe with them."I close my eyes.In for four.The baby stretches, one long roll, foot dragging across the inside of my ribs like she's checking the acoustics.Behind me, Mason is counting under his breath."Are you counting out loud?""I'm
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 318 Bluff
(Mason)Natasha's on my couch with a navy folder on her lap and a bourbon she hasn't touched."He briefed his board," she says."There's an interim CEO. There's a waitlist, Mason. My daughter is on a waitlist in a city I haven't moved to.""Devlin called me Friday to reschedule the meetings on the Stein accounts until after the transition."She stares at me."You knew.""I knew Warren Global was restructuring. I didn't know why until you called me from your car yelling.""I wasn't yelling.""My assistant asked if I needed security."She puts the bourbon down and rubs both eyes with the heels of her hands.She looks like she slept in twenty-minute installments."He’s giving up his company. Nobody does that. That's not romance, that's a controlled demolition.""Okay. It seems quite a lot like romance from where I’m sitting. Far more than I expected Chase to be capable of."Loosening my tie I buy a second.Because here's the thing about being someone's best friend for more than a decade.
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 317 The Counter
(Chase)She doesn't buzz up.She comes up using the code I gave her for Lily emergencies, and when the elevator opens she's already talking."Eight suits in here on Saturday, sitting around your dining table."Her coat is still on."Elijah reports everything, you know that, right? He's thirteen, he's better than a listening device.""I know. I counted on it."I nod at the table."Sit down.""I don't want to sit down. I want to know what you're doing behind closed doors that can't happen in your own building.""It can't happen in my building because half my building would trade the information."I slide the folder across the table.Navy cover. No logo."You asked for my counter. That's it."She looks at the folder like it might have teeth.Then she opens it, and I watch her read the first page.Her CFO brain kicks in fast.She flips to the signature block, then the board resolution, then back. Checking if it's real.It's real."This is a succession plan.""Yes. It goes into effect in n
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 316 In Writing
(Natasha)"We need the relocation date in writing by month-end," the transition lead says. "Legal wants it locked before we announce."He's the third person from Doheny to call this week.They rotate, like a collections agency with better suits.I guess they’d stop if I actually gave them a straight answer."I understand.""So can we say the fifteenth?"My pen is hovering over the calendar. Right over the square. All I have to do is write a number in it."Let me review the exact wording first," I say. "I'll have my counsel look at it and get back to you Friday."A pause on his end. Long enough to mean something."Ms. Kelly, you've had the contract for two weeks.""Then it'll be a fast review. Friday."I hang up before he can answer, which I'd absolutely call unprofessional if someone else did it.Stalling.That's what I’m doing.I’ve been avoiding giving them a firm answer since first telling Chase.I'm not going to sit here and take it apart on a Tuesday afternoon.Some weeks you jus
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 315 Wrap
(Sonia)Somebody's making a speech about the movie, and Liam's across the room looking unfairly good in tight jeans and a charcoal button-up shirt.He’s not wearing his denim jacket for once.He hasn’t had a haircut in a while and it’s falling into his eyes and curling over his collar.There’s something magnetic about his quiet confidence.He’s currently laughing at a grip's joke, and I've officially spent the entire wrap party watching one writer instead of networking.Sonia who has her face on the side of a bus.The girl who got famous from being in a trailer.Currently invisible in a corner, nursing warm champagne, staring at a man's hands with a frightening amount of longing.He catches me looking.Doesn't smile. Just holds my gaze for three full seconds, then turns his attention back to the grip.That's the game we've been playing since the writers' room.Since the line-reading before my callback.Since he picked me up at the airport, if I'm being completely honest, and I'm tryin
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 314 Terms
(Mason)"You ordered for me," Imani says, sitting down. "Bold. What if I hate oysters?""You don't. You expensed four dozen to the Brennan data room. Line item, page nine.""You read my expense reports?""I read everything from the deal that beat me. Know your enemy.""Enemy."She takes the champagne out of my hand mid-pour and finishes pouring it herself."You've sent me three term sheets and a fruit basket. Some enemy.""The fruit basket was a power move.""It had a pineapple wearing sunglasses, Mason.""Exactly. Confusing. You've thought about me every day since."She laughs. Not denying it.Whimsy is always a good bet. Chloe would have adored that pineapple.Dinner goes like the negotiation went during the Brennan deal.She's fast. I try to be faster, but she’s just letting me believe that for sport.She dismantles my Q3 strategy between courses, out of charity.She tells me my office is nearly a week behind on paperwork, and she figured it out from the other side of the negotiati
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 270 Too Many Rooms
(Gloria)Lily's got both fists in my husband's hair, and I've spent the last hour making sure I'm always in whichever room she isn't.It's not subtle.Nathanial does subtle.I do efficient.The lunch is at our place, because the lunches are always at our place now.I made enough rump roast for four
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 269 Hostile Witness
(Sonia)The woman across from me waits until I've relaxed.That's the whole trick.Eight easy questions about the craft and the script and my co-stars and what drew me to the role, until I start to believe it's going to be easy.Then she leans in and drops her voice, like we're friends now."So. Be
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 268 Just You
(Natasha)The Elijah thing is finally out, and for about a day I let myself feel light about it.Rookie mistake.The whole family knows now.Elias found out the way Elias finds out everything, then decided it was his idea.So on Saturday, I’m sitting at my own dining room table, enjoying the left-o
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 267 Eli and Eli
(Elias)I do not text.I have explained this to my grandson a hundred times.Yet he insists on sending me small grey bubbles which I refuse, on principle, to dignify.When I have something to say to a man, I have Brenda telephone.Like a civilized person.Brenda telephoned to arrange a meeting and
