Elena Ashford stood slowly, one hand pressed to her chest. Her eyes, the same warm brown as Kira’s, filled with tears.

“Kira,” she whispered.

Richard Ashford rose next, slower, leaning heavily on a cane Kira didn’t remember him needing. His face had more lines than before. More gray in his hair. But his eyes were the same. Sharp. Assessing. And now, wet with tears.

“Mom. Dad.”

The words felt strange in her mouth. Foreign. She hadn’t said them in nine years.

Elena crossed the room first. Her han

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    The Birthday Shopping

    CHAPTER 139: Birthday ShoppingKIRA POVAdrian shifted slightly in his seat, leaning forward with his elbows resting on his knees.“Nothing too serious. Just a proper birthday party where we invite people. Their friends from school, some of our family, maybe a few of your close friends if you want.”“Okay. That sounds reasonable.”“We could rent out a venue. Something fun like that indoor trampoline park they’ve been asking to go to. Or maybe one of those places with laser tag and arcade games.”Kira thought about it for a moment. Lily and Ethan had been talking nonstop about wanting to go somewhere like that with their friends. A birthday party would be the perfect excuse.“The trampoline park could work. They’d love that.”“Yeah?” Adrian looked genuinely pleased that she was agreeing. “We could book it for like three hours. Get the private party package so they have the whole space to themselves.”“That’s probably smart. Less chaos with random kids running around.”“Exactly. And we

    KIRA POV“What’s he doing here?” Kira muttered under her breath.But her mother heard her anyway. Elena gave her a knowing look and smiled slightly before turning back toward the door.“You’ll have to come see for yourself, sweetheart.”She then closed Kira’s bedroom door and her footsteps retreated down the hallway.Kira sat on her bed for a long moment staring at the closed door. Adrian was downstairs. In her parents’ house, unannounced on a random weekday evening.What could possibly be so urgent that he couldn’t just call or text like a normal person?She stood up and walked to her wardrobe, opening the double doors and scanning through the clothes hanging there. Her hand hovered over a casual dress that looked put together but not overly formal. Then it moved to a nice blouse she could pair with jeans.Kira stopped herself mid-reach.Why even bother? It wasn’t like she was trying to impress him. This wasn’t a date. This was her Adrian showing up unannounced while she was trying t

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    The Close Call

    SOPHIA POVIt wasn’t too long after Sophia had snuck back into her room when she heard a knock on the front door downstairs.She froze, trying to listen to who it was.No one really came to visit them here at Marcus’s place even his mother barely stopped by, and when she did it was usually in the evenings. Elena always complained that the sun inside the estate during the day was crazily high and pierced her skin, so she avoided being outside when it was bright out.But it was sunny right now, in the early afternoon. Which meant it probably wasn’t Elena.The only other person Sophia could think of who would come knocking spontaneously was Kira.Shit.She moved quickly, pulling off her heels and tossing them in the closet, she started removing her makeup with wipes she picked up from her dresser. She pulled off her nice blouse and trousers and changed into an oversized t-shirt and pajama shorts.Then she climbed into bed and messed up her hair to make it look like she’d been sleeping in

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    Elderly Men

    SOPHIA POVYesterday, Sophia had created a fight with Marcus on purpose. It wasn’t spontaneous or because she was actually upset about anything he’d done. She’d orchestrated the entire thing because she needed an excuse to be unavailable today.Before the fight even started, she’d added a little something to his drink while they were sitting in the living room around ten PM. Just a tiny amount of sleeping aid powder dissolved into his whiskey. Nothing dangerous, just enough to make sure he’d sleep deeply and wouldn’t wake up when she left early in the morning.The fight itself had been easy to manufacture. She’d picked at something stupid, some comment he’d made about her cooking or how she’d organized the kitchen. Acted offended and hurt when he tried to explain himself.It escalated quickly the way fights always did when one person was intentionally pushing buttons.After about twenty minutes of back and forth, Sophia had stormed off toward the stairs. Halfway up she’d turned and s

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    You’re Going Crazy

    KIRA POVThe drive home was filled with thoughts Kira couldn’t quite wrap her head around.She kept replaying what she’d seen outside the Hilton hotel. Sophia stood there in broad daylight, the man walking out to meet her, the way she’d smiled at him before leaning in for that kiss.It wasn’t even a friendly peck, who gives someone an intimate kiss in public. The kind of kiss you gave someone you had history with.But why? Why would Sophia be kissing another man when she was living with Marcus? When she’d just moved in with him and they were supposedly building a life together?None of it made any sense.Kira’s stomach growled loudly, pulling her out of her thoughts. She realized she hadn’t eaten anything since that cup of coffee at the summit this morning. It was almost three in the afternoon now.She pulled off at the next exit and found a burger place, she quickly ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a Coke. Sat in her car in the parking lot and ate quickly, barely tasting the foo

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    Sophia’s Secret

    KIRA’s POVThe meeting lasted for more than three hours. Mr Park had brought in several guest speakers who talked about the hospitality industry trends, the best practices and better pricing to follow. One woman from a consulting firm presented some data on occupancy rates across different Manhattan neighborhoods. A sustainability expert discussed green initiatives that could reduce operating costs while appealing to environmentally conscious travelers.There was a lengthy discussion about maintaining quality standards. Someone then brought up the importance of investing in proper bedding, high thread count sheets, mattresses that guests would actually want to sleep on instead of the cheap foam ones some properties despicably use and tried to get away with.“Your guests can tell the difference,” one of the speaker said.“And they’ll pay premium rates for only premium experiences. But if you’re charging luxury prices for mediocre amenities, word will get around very fast.”That led int
