KIRA POV

It’s two days until the restaurant's opening event.

Kira stood in front of her bedroom mirror and barely recognized herself. Dark circles had gathered under her eyes that no amount of concealer could hide. Her hair was pulled back in a messy bun that had started neat this morning but had slowly unraveled throughout the day. She looked exhausted because to be honest she was exhausted.

The restaurant opening was in forty-eight hours and she’d been running on fumes for the past week. Ever

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    Ask Me On Friday

    Kira’s POVElijah’s apartment was on the fourteenth floor of a building on West 22nd that she’d been to countless times before now, went for his dinner parties he threw the year he opened Solace and once to drop off a birthday gift she hadn’t had time to give him properly and their normal visit when they were together together. It looked different now, more lived in than she remembered, books stacked on the coffee table, a jacket thrown over the back of the couch, the kitchen showing signs of someone who had actually been cooking in it.He opened the door before she even knocked, which meant he might have heard the elevator.“Alyssa’s not here yet,” he said, stepping back to let her in.“She texted me saying she was five minutes away.” Kira walked in and set her bag on the counter and looked at the table, where he’d laid everything out already, organized and labeled in the simple way he did things in a kitchen, each section separated, nothing overlapping or covering each other. “You

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    She Knows I’m Here

    Elijah’s POVThe apartment smelled like it had been closed for two months because it had been closed for two months, and the first thing he’d done when he walked in Thursday night was open every window and stand in the middle of the living room and let New York come back in, the noise and the cold and the particular smell of the city that Seoul never quite replaced no matter how long he stayed.He’d unpacked properly this time instead of living out of the suitcase the way he did on shorter contracts, hung everything up, restocked the kitchen Friday morning, bought coffee that wasn’t from a hotel lobby, and by Saturday the apartment felt like his again.He was at the kitchen table with his laptop open when his phone buzzed.It was not Kira. It was his sous chef from Seoul, Minho, sending a photograph of the new spring menu they’d finalized before Elijah left, asking if he wanted to be credited in the launch post.Elijah typed back yes and set the phone down.Seoul was a good place. Bet

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    I Was Looking Forward To See Him

    Kira’s POVElijah called at six forty-three.She was already awake, since like five, lying in the dark running the new plan and thoughts in her head the way she ran a kitchen before a difficult service, looking for every place something could go wrong before it had the chance to.“Ten days,” Elijah said when she picked up.“Maybe eleven. Marcus wasn’t specific about the exact date.”“That’s not enough time.”“I know.”“Kira, the dinner was supposed to be two weeks out. If the wedding is in ten days and we need to do this before it, we have maybe a week, less if you factor in the setup.”“I know that too.” She sat up and pushed the covers back and walked to the window. The estate grounds were still grey and quiet, the security guard doing his early loop along the east hedge. “I’ve been up since five thinking about it. The dinner needs to move to next week, Thursday at the latest.”“Can you make that happen without it looking like you made it happen?”“It’s the Ashford International ann

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    Nothing Looks Different

    Sophia’s POVShe kept watching all of them.Richard first, Kira’s dad because Richard was the one who controlled the estate accounts and his reaction mattered most, although he’d nodded slowly and asked one simple question about the venue and moved on, which meant he wasn’t troubled, just adjusting. Elena was so easy, her hands coming together the way they did when something pleased her, already reaching for her phone to start reorganizing, already three steps ahead into logistics. The children hadn’t cared beyond the dancing and the food.Now for Marcus, she didn’t need to watch. She knew his face well enough by now.It was Kira she’d held for last.Kira set her fork down and reached for her wine looking at the candles for exactly two seconds and then turned and smiled, then she said she was happy for them both, and the smile, can’t really say if it was genuine or not but it was warm and steady, nothing flickering behind it.Sophia had held her gaze and found nothing.Which was the

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    We’ve Been Waiting Long Enough

    Kira’s POV “You’re not eating,” Elena said, setting the bread basket closer to Kira’s side of the table.“I’m eating.” Kira picked up her fork and cut into the chicken and put a piece in her mouth and chewed it slowly, her mother watched her the whole time with the particular patience of a woman who had been watching her children lie to her face for thirty years and had simply gotten better at waiting them out.“You’ve been staring at your plate for ten minutes,” Richard said from the head of the table, not looking up from his own food.“I’m thinking about the Phoenix menu revision. The lamb supplier wants to renegotiate the contract and James sent me a proposal today that I haven’t had time to look at properly.”“At dinner,” Elena said.“When else.”Lily looked up from across the table. “Mummy, Uncle Marcus said he and Sophia are coming tonight.”“I know, sweetheart.”“Is Sophia going to sit next to me again? Last time she kept asking me questions about school and I was trying to w

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    Rot In There Together

    Adrian’s POV“You’re bluffing,” Jenna said again, quieter this time, like she was trying to convince herself more than him.Adrian looked at her for a moment, then reached into his jacket pocket and took out his phone.“What are you doing,” Jenna said.He didn’t answer. He pulled up his legal team’s after-hours line and made the call. He spoke for under a minute, gave the facility name, gave Vanessa’s full name, and waited while the man on the other end made it happen quietly and without questions.Jenna’s chair scraped back. “Adrian.”He looked up at her.“Adrian, don’t do this.” The composed harsh tone of her voice earlier was starting to crack at the edges. “Please, just put the phone down, let’s talk it out.”“Sit down, Jenna.”She didn’t sit but she didn’t leave either, and he watched her stand there with both palms pressed flat against the table while the line went quiet and the bar filled the space around them, other people’s conversations, low music, someone laughing loudly t
