CLAY'S POV

It was with a sense of apprehension that I entered my car. As the sound of the door slamming shut echoed in the now confined space, I inhaled deeply to steady my bearing and calm my palpitating heart, then pulled out my phone and clicked on the messaging app. A new message blinked innocuously at the top of the inbox, the information it contained making me apprehensive.

‘I have some pertinent information about the caller. When should we meet?’

The message instilled a sense of rage and

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 141

    ANYTA’S POVThe night before, Everett and I spoke about the emergency injunction Marcus Webb filed. We spoke in low voices for twenty minutes and finally agreed to deal with it another day. It was already late, and neither of us had the energy left to pick apart another threat.Now Clay’s voice cut through the speaker in my car, tight and serious. “We have a problem. You should sit down.”I was pulling into the playgroup parking lot, one hand on the wheel while Teddy sang the family song off-key in the backseat. The reception kept crackled. “Clay? You’re breaking up. What’s going on?”Static swallowed his reply. The call dropped completely after a few seconds of distorted noise.I frowned at the screen and told myself I’d call him back in five minutes. Teddy was already twisting in his seat, determined to unbuckle himself so he could show his friends the new dinosaur figure clutched in his small hand. I helped him out, smoothed his shirt, kissed his forehead, and watched him run insid

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 140

    CLAY’S POVI read the text from my attorney at 7:42 a.m. and felt the familiar cold focus settle over me. Marcus Webb had moved faster than I expected. His emergency injunction was a bastard move, but a smart one. It bought him time and dragged everything else into the open.As Owen Grayson I had levers most people in this city only dreamed about. The kind of resources that made Everett’s old empire look like a regional operation. I started pulling them without hesitation.First call went to my lead counsel, Margaret Holt. She picked up on the first ring like she’d been waiting for it. “How bad?”“Bad enough. Emergency injunction on the inheritance. I want your best team on it within the hour. Challenge every technicality. Tie them up in procedure until we’re ready to bury them.”“Already pulling the filing,” she said. “We’ll file for expedited dismissal by close of business.”I ended the call and moved to the second front. Philip was already in my study when I walked in on him.“Find

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 139

    Anyta POVThe shadow at the door turned out to be nothing more than the delivery driver dropping off a package for Alice. Everett and I both exhaled at the same time once we checked the porch camera. The relief felt almost ridiculous after everything we had been through, but it reminded me how thin our sense of safety had become. We settled back into the living room with Teddy, who had not noticed a thing. He kept right on talking about his dinosaur collection.Teddy looked at Everett for a very long time with those his enormous green eyes. The same eyes that stared back at him from the man kneeling on the rug. Then he turned to me, searching my face like he needed one more confirmation that this was real. I gave him a small nod and a smile I hoped looked steadier than I felt. He looked back at Everett.“You’re very tall,” Teddy said.Everett let out a sound that was almost a laugh, rough and surprised. I saw tears gather in his eyes for the first time in all the years I had known him

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 138

    Anura’s POVThe power came back on with a weak flicker after some minutes, but the fear stayed.Clay moved through the house, checking every lock and window twice. There was nothing; no footprints we could clearly see, no signs of forced entry. Teddy eventually fell asleep on the couch between us, his small hand fisted in my shirt. Clay and I just sat there in the low light, quietly processing our thoughts.I barely slept.Long after Clay finally dozed off in the armchair, I lay awake staring at the ceiling, Teddy’s even breathing is the only steady sound in the room. My mind kept circling back to my own childhood. The way my parents had vanished in a single rainy night, gone before I was old enough to really know them. That hollow ache never really left. I remembered standing in their empty bedroom for weeks afterward, touching their things like they might still hold some piece of them. Nothing ever quite filled that space.Grandma Jo had tried. She moved me into her house, fed me, c

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 137

    ANYTA’S POVThe message was still glowing on my screen when Everett reached across the table and turned my phone face-down without asking.“Don’t,” he said quietly. “Not here at least.” He added with a small voice.How did Webb know I was with Everett? I looked at him, and could tell he had the exact question.He quickly scanned the room, his green eyes flicking to the door, the window, to the two men at the corner table who were very deliberately not looking our way.“He knows about Italy,” I said, my voice lower than I meant it to be. “About my accounts being frozen. That was years ago, Everett. And I know you did it. But why would he bring it up now? How would Marcus Webb even know that?”“I don’t know.” His jaw tightened. “But I’ll find out.”I slid my phone into my bag with hands that weren’t quite steady, and for a moment neither of us spoke. The coffee shop noise, which had faded into a dull roar seconds ago, came rushing back — the espresso machine hissing, someone laughing to

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 136

    Anyta POVMy phone rang just as I finished wiping Teddy’s hands after lunch. He had managed to get peanut butter everywhere again, including a stubborn smear across his cheek that made him look like a mischievous little warrior. I smiled despite the exhaustion tugging at my bones and answered without checking the caller ID.“Anyta Rushmore,” I said, balancing the phone between my ear and shoulder while steering Teddy toward his toys.“Ms. Rushmore, this is Harlan Whitaker from Whitaker, Kline, and Associates. I was Grandma Jo’s—Mrs. Josephine Ashbourne’s—estate attorney.”The formal tone stopped me cold. I motioned for Alice to watch Teddy and stepped into the hallway, closing the door behind me. “Yes, Mr. Whitaker. What’s happened?”He didn’t waste time on pleasantries. “I’m afraid the full execution of the will is being formally challenged. A group of Ashbourne relatives has filed motions claiming Mrs. Ashbourne was of compromised mental faculties when she executed the final updates

    EVERETT’S POVMother’s parties always felt like funerals with too much booze, to me.Probably because I could see through the fakeness of multiple friends and family who rarely reached out unless they needed help urgently.Or in this case, when they attended parties my mother hosted to lessen her b
