KIRA POV

Kira stood in the living room while Lily and Ethan ran upstairs.

“Go get your things, okay?” She called after them. “Don’t forget anything.”

“Okay, Mommy!” Lily’s voice echoed from the stairs.

She heard the door to Ethan’s room opened and closed.

And then it was just Kira and Adrian.

Alone.

Kira looked around the living room. Nothing’s changed really, everything looks the same: the couch, the coffee table, the same cold and weird feeling. .

But something felt different.

  • 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

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    I Always Have

    Kira’s POVThe autumn menu revision was spread across her desk, twelve pages of handwritten notes and crossed out items and margins full of questions she hadn’t answered yet, and Kira was sitting in her office at the back of the restaurant on a Thursday morning with a red pen and a cold coffee when her phone buzzed.Alyssa.A screenshot. No caption.Kira picked up her phone and looked at it.The post was long, the kind of long that meant someone had been composing it for a while and had finally decided to send it, and it was public, on an account with a real name and a real photograph and enough followers that the screenshot had already been shared forty times before Alyssa sent it to her.The man’s name was Thomas Acheampong. Twenty-eight years old, property developer, based between London and New York, and he had written in careful detail about a relationship he’d been in for two years with a woman he named, with a woman whose son he named, with a woman who had apparently told him t

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire    Good Luck

    Elijah’s POVKira ate like she hadn’t realized she was hungry until the container was open in her lap, which knowing her meant she’d been running since six in the morning and had skipped breakfast entirely because there was always something more pressing.Elijah ate beside her and didn’t mention it.The Cullinan was warm and the street outside was doing its Saturday afternoon thing and they sat in the passenger and driver seats with their containers and the paper bag between them on the console and didn’t talk for a few minutes.“The Copenhagen restaurant,” Elijah said. “Have you been to Lille?”“Which one.”“Vesterbrogade. Small place, maybe twenty covers, no printed menu, whatever the kitchen decides that day.”“I haven’t been.”“I went in October for a conference and went back three times in four days.”Kira looked at him. “Three times.”“There was a dish on the second night. Turbot, brown butter, preserved lemon, and something underneath it I still haven’t identified.” He looked a

    Kira’s POVThe note came with the booking confirmation in a plain envelope, Adrian’s handwriting on the front, and inside just four lines.I heard you never got to finish this module. I thought you should. No occasion, no strings. The details are attached.Kira read it twice and put it on her kitchen counter and looked at it for the rest of the evening.The details said Hana Mori, Tribeca, Saturday nine to one, Japanese knife technique, private session. She looked up Hana Mori and read three paragraphs about twelve years training in Osaka and a waiting list that ran six months and a teaching philosophy described by one former student as the most demanding four hours of my culinary life and the most useful.She put the confirmation in her bag and didn’t tell anyone.Saturday morning she drove to Tribeca and parked the Cullinan and stood outside the studio door for thirty seconds and rang the bell.Hana Mori opened it before the ring finished.“You’re three minutes early,” she said. “Go
