Semua Bab Too Late To Love Me, Mr Billionaire : Bab 61 - Bab 70

ADRIAN POVAdrian sat frozen.He’d actually watched the entire process. Watched the way his lawyer presented evidence. Watched Patricia tear him apart piece by piece.Nah Kira's lawyer was good, and maybe she was right too.Every word she said was true. He had missed school plays. He had forgotten birthdays. He had prioritized work over everything.And now his children were paying for it.When the judge called Ethan to the stand, Adrian’s chest tightened.His son walked to the front slowly, he was so small and nervous to be put through something like this to say the least. Judge Reynolds asked him where he wanted to live.Ethan had looked at him. Just for a second.Then he’d said, “With my mom and Lily.”Adrian’s heart shattered.His son. The boy who used to follow him around. Who used to wait by the door for him to come home from work. Who used to think his dad was the coole

KIRA POVKira 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.The tension between them. Was it sexual tension? She could feel Adrian’s eyes on her. Just standing there and staring.Kira shifted uncomfortably. Why was he looking at her like that?This was weird. They’d been married for nine years and never had this kind of tension. It was pure sexual tension.So why now?She needed to break the silence. Say something before she enters the ground.“So,” Kira said. “Where are you going?”Adrian blinked. Like he’d been lost in thought. He was leaning against the kitchen cou

VANESSA POV It had been three days since Adrian humiliated her. Three days since he’d kicked her out in front of Kira. Three days since he’d made her feel like nothing, she always feels like nothing to him but this day was just too much. Vanessa sat in front of her mirror, staring at her reflection. She looked terrible. Dark circles under her eyes, her skin looked dull and dry.She hadn’t slept properly in days. She had been crying. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Adrian’s face. Cold and dismissive. Telling her to leave. Her phone buzzed on the dresser. A text from Jenna. *Brunch at 11? You’ve been ignoring me for three days. What’s going on?* Vanessa picked up her phone and typed back. *Fine. Where?* *The Ivy. See you there.* Vanessa stood and walked to her closet. She pulled out a black dress, of course black was her aesthetic right now, it matched her mood. She added dark sunglasses and grabbed her black bag bag. Twenty minutes later, she walked into The Ivy. Jen

KIRA POVTwo months.It had been almost two months since Kira got the kids back, and honestly, it was nice but stressful as hell.Not that she was complaining. She loved having both Lily and Ethan home. Loved hearing them laugh together, loved watching them play in the garden, loved tucking them into bed every night.But before, when she was just a housewife, taking care of them was her only job. Wake up, make breakfast, school drop off, pick up, homework, dinner, bedtime. Simple. Predictable.Now? Now she had the restaurant and the hotel and meetings everywhere.Last week alone she’d had four hotel inspections, three restaurant planning sessions, two investor meetings, and one very long argument with the interior designer about curtain fabrics.Thank God for her mother.Elena had stepped in without being asked. She handled school runs most mornings. Helped with homework in the afternoons. Made sure the kids ate proper meals even when Kira was stuck in back to back meetings.Kira didn

VANESSA POVThe past two months had been hell, not figuratively but real life hell.Vanessa had tried everything to reach Adrian. Called him, texted him, even showed up at his office twice. Nothing. He’d blocked her. Completely.But the worst part? The absolute worst part came a month ago. Vanessa had walked into the office like any other day at work. Coffee in hand, heels clicking against the marble floors, ready to sit at her desk and pretend everything was fine. Except there was an envelope on her desk. White. Anything white you just know it’s official.. Her name was printed across the front in bold letters. She’d opened it. Termination letter. An actual sack letter. Not a resignation request. Not a transfer. A termination. The letter was short. Straight and direct, it was like the person who wrote it had her in mind before . *We regret to inform you that your employment with Westbrook Industries has been terminated effective immediately. This decision was mad
