The car was quiet.Kira sat in the back seat, staring out the window as the city lights blurred past. Her feet hurt. Her face felt tight from smiling all night. Her head was full of voices and faces and conversations she’d already started to forget.But one conversation she couldn’t forget.Adrian.Standing in front of her. Asking to talk. Reaching for her hand.And Elijah stepping in.Your replacement.Kira smil

Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire Epilogue
Six years laterKira 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 and th
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
Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire The Idea Of Him
Kira’s POVShe woke at four again.She knew before she opened her eyes because her body had started doing it with the reliability of an alarm, the same time every night for a week, pulling her up out of sleep into the dark ceiling of her bedroom and the quiet of the house. Elijah was asleep beside her tonight. He decided to spend the night.She turned her hand over slowly and looked at the ring in the dark, the emerald catching nothing because there was nothing to catch, just the shape of it on her finger, and she lay there and did what she’d been doing for a week, running her thumb across the band and waiting for the feeling to arrive completely.It didn’t arrive completely.It arrived mostly. It arrived enough that during the day she didn’t notice the gap, during service and school pickup and the autumn menu and the knife class on Thursdays and dinner with Marcus on Fridays, during all of it she was fine, genuinely fine, and the ring sat on her finger and felt like hers and Elijah w
Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire Dad You Have A Face
Adrian’s POVHis phone rang early morning on a Sunday morning.It was Marcus calling, again.He took his phone and picked up the call.“I’m sorry,” Marcus said. “She said yes.”Adrian stood at the kitchen counter with the coffee he’d just poured and said nothing for a moment.“I wanted you to hear it from me,” Marcus said. “Not from anyone else.”“I appreciate that man.”“Are you alright.”“I’m fine.” He set the coffee down. “When did it happen.”“Ohh, last night. Elijah took her to Solace after hours, cooked for her himself, and all that stuffs.” A pause. “She called me this morning. She sounded really happy.”“Good.”“Adrian.”“Marcus, I’m fine.” He pulled out a chair and sat at the kitchen table. “I mean it.”Marcus was quiet for a moment. Over the past months they’d found their way to something that worked, the two of them, not despite Kira but around her, two men who had both loved her differently and had enough respect for each other to acknowledge it without making it strange.
Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire Did I Make A Mistake
Kira’s POVElijah’s restaurant, solace was dark when the car pulled up outside.Not closed dark, just after hours dark, the kind where the lights were off in the front of house but the kitchen strip was still on and throwing a warm line under the door, and Kira sat in the Cullinan for a moment and looked at it.She knew what this was.She’d known from the moment Elijah texted on Tuesday and said are you free Saturday evening, just the two of us, and she’d said yes because she always said yes to him and because she’d spent two days telling herself she didn’t know what it meant and had known the entire time.She got out of the car.Elijah opened the door before she reached it, which meant he’d been watching for her, and he stepped back and she walked in and stopped.One table in the middle of the empty restaurant, dressed properly, white cloth and candles and two settings and a single small arrangement of something green and simple in the center that didn’t try too hard. The rest of Sol

VANESSA POV Vanessa stood in front of her closet, holding up two dresses. The red one or the blue one? Red was bold. Sexy. The kind of dress that said she knew exactly what she wanted. But blue was softer. Elegant. The kind of dress that made men think they were the ones doing the chasing. Her
