Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire Chapter Three
Kira's POV"How did you even get here before me." Kira sat down hard in the plastic chair, her legs finally giving out beneath her. "You live in the city.""They called me too." Adrian sat beside her, elbows on his knees, hands clasped so tight his knuckles had gone pale. "Same as they called you. I was in a meeting, my assistant ran in with the message, I didn't even grab my jacket.""You drove.""I broke every speed limit between here and Manhattan." He glanced sideways at her. "You flew.""I panicked. I didn't know what else to do.""You didn't have to explain that to me."A nurse walked past and Kira half rose out of her seat before realizing the woman wasn't stopping for them. She sank back down, her hands twisting in her lap."Why is she even here," Kira said. "Weslake is nowhere near her campus.""It's the closest trauma center to the interstate. If something happened on the road...""On the road doing what?""I don't know, Kira. Nobody's told us anything yet.""She's supposed

Kira's POV"Which hospital." Her voice didn't sound like her own."Ma'am, I need you to stay calm. Your daughter is stable, she's being transported to Weslake Regional.""Where is that.""About an hour and twenty minutes from Brooklyn, ma'am."The phone nearly slipped out of her hand. "An hour and twenty minutes.""Kira?" Alyssa was already at her side, one hand on her arm. "What's wrong?""Lily." The name came out cracked. "There's been an accident.""Oh my God.""I need my coat. I need my bag. I need..." Kira pressed her palm flat against her own chest like she could hold herself together with pressure alone. "I need a car.""I'll call Desmond right now.""Tell him to pull around front, don't wait for valet."Alyssa was already moving, phone to her ear, and Kira followed her out through the kitchen doors, past the chef who called after her, past the sous chef who half rose from checking a ticket, none of it registering, none of it mattering.The car was waiting by the time she hit t
Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire KIRA’s SPINOFF: Chapter One
Kira's POV SIX YEARS LATER….. "Table nine needs their check and table twelve is asking for you by name again." Alyssa's voice cut through the noise of the kitchen pass, a printout already in her hand. "By name or by face?" "Name. She said Chef Ashford like she's known you her whole life." Kira wiped her palms on her apron and took the printout without looking at it. "Fine. Give me two minutes." She never got two minutes. Not on a Friday like this one, every table full since five, a line still curling out the door when she'd last checked, Marco, one of the chefs on the line shouting for more scallops and Denise on garde manger falling behind on plating because they were down two servers who'd both called in sick within an hour of each other. "Chef, we need hands on the floor." Denise didn't even look up from the plate she was finishing. "Rob can't keep up alone out there." "I'll go." "You're supposed to be running the pass ma’am ." "Marco can run the pass for ten minu
Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire Epilogue
Six years later Kira Ashford is thriving, she’s appeared on the cover of Forbes for the second time, opened her restaurants in Lagos, Accra, Singapore, Tokyo and Nairobi, expanded the hotel portfolio to seven properties across three continents, launched a culinary foundation that funded training programs for young chefs across West Africa and Southeast Asia, and appeared on every major stage. The Wall Street Journal called her the most significant hospitality entrepreneur of her generation. CNN, BBC, Time Magazine, every major platform that covered business and culture and women came to her for questions and interviews. This was Kira’s message when she was asked on a podcast. “What would she say to a woman sitting in an unhappy marriage or difficult situation and was too afraid to leave.” You can do it, you are stronger than what is holding you, you will make mistakes because everyone does but mistakes are the middle of the story not the end, give yourself time to heal properly a
Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire Built It Herself
Kira’s POV Alyssa’s text said come see and nothing else mattered as Kira drove to Brooklyn in the new Rolls Royce with the radio off and the early morning city moving past the windows and her finger still feeling lighter than it had in three weeks. She parked outside and sat for a moment. The restaurant was dark inside, a closed sign on the door, the street still doing its early morning thing, a delivery van two doors down, a woman walking fast with coffee, the ordinary unremarkable beginning of a Tuesday. She got out and let herself in through the kitchen entrance. The kitchen smelled the way it always smelled before service, clean and ready, the particular smell of a space that knew what it was for and was waiting to do it, and she stood in the middle of it with her bag on her shoulder and her keys in her hand and looked at the counters and the pass and the equipment and the strip lighting and thought about the first time she stood in this space when it was still just a mere b
Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire It’s About Me
Kira’s POV Lily was still asleep on the couch where Kira had carried her at some point between four and six, covered with the throw blanket from the armchair, rabbit tucked in beside her. Kira sat at the kitchen table with both hands around a cup of tea she’d made and not drunk and watched the early light come in through the window and thought about what she already knew she was going to do. She picked up her phone and called Elijah. He picked up on the second ring. “You’re awake,” she said. “Have been for a while.” His voice was quiet and steady and completely unsurprised and that steadiness was one of the things she loved most about him and one of the things that told her she was right about what she was about to say. “Where are you.” “Kitchen. Lily fell asleep down here.” “I know, I heard her come down.” A pause. “Do you want me to come down.” “Pl
