My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 200: The Beach Again
The reunion had been Lucien's idea, which surprised no one who knew him.He had proposed it in January with the same quiet efficiency he brought to all family logistics: a week in Greece in August, the estate, everyone who could come. He had sent the dates and the details and had managed the responses and the travel arrangements without making any of it feel like management, which was the particular skill he had been developing for thirty years and had not lost in retirement.Everyone came.Leo and Daniel with Clara, now eleven, and Matteo, who was eight and had brought a field guide to Mediterranean marine life that he had been annotating since April. Emma and Saoirse from Dublin. Jack and Priya with Nadia, who was six and had the wooden dog and strong opinions about the seating arrangements at dinner. Marcus and Ezra from Brooklyn, Marcus already composing something in his head, I could tell from the way he occasionally stopped mid-conversation and looked at nothing for three second
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 199: What Comes After
We came home on a Thursday, the Japan trip behind us, and the house received us the way it always did after a long absence: a little formal at first, the air of a space that had been waiting, then familiar again within an hour, the particular London light through the kitchen windows and the sounds of the neighbourhood settling back into their ordinary positions around us.Lucien made tea while I unpacked, which was our standard return ritual. Tea first, luggage second. The luggage could wait.I came downstairs to find two mugs on the kitchen table and Lucien sitting with the particular quality he had been developing across the Japan weeks: the unhurried quality, the person who was not also managing something else. It was still present, which I noted with quiet satisfaction. The trip had not been a temporary state. Something had settled."Alright," I said, sitting down. "Let's have the conversation."He looked at me. "Which one.""The one we've been approaching for three years. What th
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 198: In Japan
I had been talking about Japan for fifteen years.Not seriously, not with plans attached, just the recurring mention of it at the edges of other conversations: an article about Kyoto in autumn, a fabric technique I had read about that originated in a specific region, Leo's postcard from his gap year that had stayed on my desk for three years because of the quality of the light in the photograph he had enclosed. Lucien had been talking about it for roughly the same length of time, for different reasons that amounted to the same reason: we had always meant to go and had always been building something that needed us more than the going.In June I booked it.Three weeks in October. The guesthouse in Kyoto that Leo had stayed at during his gap year, which I had researched from his postcard and from conversations with him and had booked four months in advance with the specific intention of eating the breakfast he had described as the best breakfast of his life. A loose itinerary that allowe

We had been trying to arrange it for two years, the scheduling of three families across multiple cities and multiple professional calendars finally aligning in August, a full week at the Greece estate with no work obligations for any of us.Leo and Daniel arrived with Clara and Matteo on a Sunday afternoon. Jack and Priya came the following morning with Nadia. Lucien had been at the estate since Friday, having managed the logistics of the week with the precision he brought to all family operations, the kitchen stocked, the beach equipment ready, the sleeping arrangements organised so that the children were on the same floor.I was on the terrace when the second car came through the gate, Nadia in the back seat with her face pressed to the window, the wooden dog visible in her hand even from a distance.The three children had not been in the same place before. They had met in pairs: Clara and Matteo had been at Nadia's third birthday in London, and Nadia had attended the family Christm
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 196: Process Opens
We flew to Berlin on a Thursday morning, Lucien managing the logistics with the efficiency he brought to everything that mattered, and arrived at the hotel in Mitte with enough time to rest before the evening opening.I had seen photographs of the installation during development, the images Emma had sent across the months of construction, but photographs did not prepare me for the Hamburger Bahnhof in October, the vast former railway station that had been a museum of contemporary art for thirty years and that received the installation the way certain spaces received certain works: as though it had been waiting for them.Lucien took my hand as we went in.The four of them were already there when we arrived, managing the final hours before the public opening with the focused energy of people who had been working toward something for months and were now in the last stretch before it became the thing rather than the thing-being-made. Leo near the garment suspension system, talking to a te
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 195: Nadia
The question came on a Tuesday morning in October, which was not when Jack and Priya had expected it, because you could not predict when a five-year-old would decide the moment had arrived.I heard about it that evening, when Jack called me from London.He told it the way Jack told things: in order, without drama, with the specific attention to detail that indicated the event had been important enough to fix precisely in his memory. I listened without interrupting, which was what the telling required.Nadia had been at the kitchen table with her breakfast, which she ate with the focused efficiency she brought to most tasks, working through it in a sequence that followed some internal logic Jack had observed but never fully decoded. The wooden dog was on the table beside her bowl, which was not unusual. The wooden dog attended most meals.Jack was at the counter with coffee, half-reading something on his phone, when she looked up and said: "Papa. Where did I come from before here."He

We returned to New York to find everything had changed and nothing had changed simultaneously.The fashion industry welcomed me back with cautious praise. Orders were flowing again. My fourth place Paris ranking was official and celebrated. But Travis was still out there, more dangerous than ever.

The doctor released me from the hospital with a prescription bottle full of warnings and restrictions."Reduced workload. Daily rest periods. No lifting anything over ten pounds. Blood pressure monitoring twice daily. At the first sign of complications, you go straight to emergency care.""I unders

I spent three days in the hospital. Three days of forced rest, monitored constantly, forbidden from working or reading news or doing anything that might raise my blood pressure.It was torture.Lucien visited twice a day but refused to discuss the investigation. "You need to rest. Let me handle thi

The closing gala was held in the same historic hotel where the pre-Fashion Week event had been. But tonight felt different. Tonight, the rankings would be announced. Tonight, I'd know if all my work had been enough.I wore a borrowed dress from Riley's closet, something black and elegant that hid m
