KIRA POV

Kira left the house at exactly six in the morning.

The sun was barely up and the streets were still mostly empty. She’d barely slept, tossing and turning all night thinking about the email, about the complaint, about who could have possibly done this to her.

Marcus insisted on coming with her. He sat in the passenger seat of her Maybach looking all nervous as she pulled out of the driveway.

“Are you sure you want to drive?” he asked.

“Yes.”

“Because you look like you didn’t sleep.”

    ADRIAN’s POV“Hi Adrian, this is Jenna.”He ended the call immediately.He stood by the kitchen door with the phone in his hand and looked at the screen for a moment, at the unknown number sitting there, and felt something move through his chest that wasn’t quite anger yet but was getting there fast, the way a temperature climbed, steady and inevitable.The phone rang again.Same number.He let it ring out.Kira was still at the table, the notepad in front of her, and she’d looked up when he stepped away and was watching him now with the careful attention she gave things she hadn’t decided how to categorize yet.The phone rang a third time.He picked up.“What do you want?” He kept his voice low and level.“Adrian, I just need five…..”“Jenna.” He moved further toward the kitchen door, turning his shoulder slightly toward the room. “I don’t know what you think you’re doin

    VANESSA POV“Watch where you’re going.”The woman who’d shouldered into her didn’t stop walking, just cut her eyes back over her shoulder with a particular stern look that people in here had perfected, the one that said she’d heard the complaint and had decided it wasn’t worth her time.Vanessa squared her shoulders. “Hey. I’m talking to you.”The woman stopped.She turned around slowly, the way people turned around in here when they wanted you to understand that the slowness was intentional, and looked at Vanessa with a flat assessment like she was measuring a situation before committing to it.“Walk around me next time,” Vanessa said.A beat.Then the woman turned back around and kept walking, and the two women behind her exchanged a look, and Vanessa stood in the middle of the corridor and watched her go and felt the small ugly satisfaction of not having backed down settled somewhere in her chest.Four months and some days of this.Four months of the smell and the noise and the flu

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    The Wrong Time

    Adrian’s POVHe’d been watching her for the better part of an hour before he admitted to himself what he was doing.She was at the far end of the Ashford estate kitchen, standing over a pot of something that smelled like the kind of food his mother had always paid other people to make, and she was on the phone at the same time, her shoulder pressed against the cabinet, writing something on the notepad she kept on the counter with the pen she always lost and always found in the same three places.He’d come to drop the kids off and stayed because Ethan had asked him to look at something on his laptop and that had turned into dinner because Elena had appeared in the doorway and said there was enough food and the way she said it left no room for a polite exit.So he’d stayed.And now the kids were upstairs and Elena and Richard had moved to the sitting room and Marcus had left an hour ago, and it was just Adrian at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and Kira at the stove, and he was d

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    A Month Early

    KIRA POV“I’m landing on Thursday.”Kira set her coffee down and looked at the time on the microwave. Six forty-two in the morning, which meant it was somewhere close to eight in the evening in Seoul, and Elijah had clearly been sitting on this information for at least a day because the tone of his voice had the calm of someone who’d already made a decision and was now just delivering it.“You said you had six weeks more,” she said.“I said approximately six weeks. The Seoul team found a replacement faster than expected and I’m not going to sit in a hotel room for three weeks pretending I have something I’m doing, plus I want to help out with Marcus’s situation.”Kira pulled her chair out and sat back down at the kitchen table. Through the window the estate grounds were still grey with early morning, the kind of quiet that only existed for about forty minutes before the house started moving.“Thursday,” she said.“Thursday evening. I’ll go to my place first, I won’t come to the estate

    KIRA POVKira sat at the table for exactly four minutes before she decided to move.The waiter came by once to ask if she needed anything and she’d smiled and said she was fine and watched him walk away and then sat there with her water glass and the half-eaten bread basket and the ambient noise of a full Sunday lunch service moving around her and told herself she was being paranoid.She shifted her chairs backwards and sprang up on her feet. It wasn’t a decision exactly, more like her body making a calculation her brain was still arguing with, because the whole point of today was to be exactly what she’d been for the past two weeks, warm and present and utterly without suspicion, and following someone into a restaurant bathroom was not that.But the way Sophia had covered that screen so fast, and the name being just three letters and had seen enough of them to know it wasn’t Marcus, wasn’t Elena, wasn’t anyone whose name showing up on a phone required that particular quality of st

    SOPHIA POV“You’ve been ignoring my calls.”She’d barely pressed the phone to her ear before his voice came through, and she turned to face the wall of the narrow corridor outside the restaurant bathrooms, keeping her back to the dining room and her voice at the level of someone leaving a casual voicemail.“I was at lunch. I couldn’t exactly pick up.”“With who.”“Kira Ashford.”A pause on the other end, brief and assessing. “That’s new.”“Things change.” Sophia checked over her shoulder, just the long corridor and a waiter disappearing through a service door at the far end. “She’s been warming up to me, although it took longer than I wanted but she’s there now.”“Warming up or positioning herself.”“Don’t do that.”“I’m asking a reasonable question, Soph. You’ve been sloppy with this one. The brake lines, the messages, none of that was part of the plan and all of it created noise around a job that was supposed to be clean and fast. ” His voice didn’t rise, it never rose, which was
