Too late, my love.

Too late, my love.

"Marry him. Give him a child. Then disappear from his life forever." That was the price Yasmin Mercer was forced to pay. To save her dying nephew, she must enter a contract marriage with billionaire Damien Delacroix—a man as cold as the vows they exchange. Their marriage has one purpose and one expiration date: conceive a child who could become a lifesaving donor, then walk away as if they were never husband and wife. To everyone else, it's a sacrifice. To Yasmin, it's a prison. Trapped in a marriage where she's treated as nothing more than a means to an end, Yasmin slowly finds herself falling for the one man she was never supposed to love. Because behind every smile hides a secret. Behind every act of kindness lurks a betrayal. And someone is willing to destroy everything—including Yasmin—to keep the truth buried. As love begins to bloom where it was never meant to exist, one devastating choice will change every life forever. In a world where blood is bought, vows are bargains, and trust is the most dangerous gamble of all... How far would you go to save someone else's child—and what will it cost when your own heart is the one left bleeding? In this family... Love is the deadliest lie of all.

Chapter: Chapter 4- Happy married life?
YASMINThe first thing I heard was a steady rhythmic beeping. I tried to pry my eyes open but the white walls and the bright light filtered through my eye lids causing my eyes to burn. I coughed out, trying to clear my throat and then slowly opening my eyes, trying to adjust to the brightness. When my eyes finally opened I looked around only to be welcomed by white walls, beeping machines and an IV drip taped to my arm. Where was I?I thought trying to sit up as pain shot up my ribs causing me to fall back on the pillow with a gasp.Then it all came rushing back. The rain, Mark, the woman, the accident. Oh my God.I groaned and closed my eyes just as the door burst open.“Finally.”My mother’s voice cut through the room like a blade, and I opened my eyes to see her standing in the doorway, arms crossed, her face tight with barely contained fury.“You’ve been unconscious for three days. Three days, Yasmin. Do you have any idea what you’ve put everyone through?”I tried to speak, but

Chapter: Chapter 3- Accidentally Single
YASMINThe words came out of my mouth hollow and empty, and I barely recognized my own voice."Fine, I'll do it."My mother nodded before pulling out her phone and walking toward the window, her back already turned to me."Damien, she's agreed. Start making arrangements for tomorrow morning." Mom informed him on the other side.Tomorrow, not next week and apparently not something I had a say in either.My cheek still burned from where she'd slapped me, and now she was already planning my wedding, phone pressed to her ear like I'd stopped existing in the room the second I said yes."I'm so sorry, Yasmin." Rosalie's voice came out soft and trembling, her eyes glistening. "I never wanted this for you."I stared at her but nothing escaped my lips."Why won't you look at me?" Her chin trembled, that same fragile smile in place, and something about how broken she looked turned my stomach, because somehow she was the one who managed to look like she was sacrificing something here."It's just

Chapter: Chapter 2- Marry the man you hate
YASMIN ONE YEAR LATER The doctor removed his glasses and placed them on the table, and the small click echoed through the room like a gunshot. "I'm sorry," he said quietly. "We've tried every available option. We still couldn't find a compatible donor." "No!" Rosalie shot up from her chair, hands slamming against the table. "No, that's not possible! You said there was still hope! You said—" "Mrs. Delacroix—" "Don't tell me to calm down!" She was shaking, voice cracking. "My son is dying! Do you understand that? Noah is dying!" "Rosalie—" I reached for her arm and she jerked away like I'd burned her. "Don't touch me!" She snapped her eyes wild with dtears streaming down her face. "You don't know what it's like! You don't have to watch your own child slip away!" I pulled my hand back. The words stung, but I didn't say anything. "Enough!" My mother's voice cut through the room like a whip. "Sit down, Rosalie. Now." Rosalie's lip trembled. She looked like a child who'd just b

Chapter: Chapter 1- It all started here
YASMIN "It's a lie, Yasmin. Everything is a lie." Julian's voice cracked through the phone, shaky and broken. He was crying. I'd never once heard him cry before, not in all the years I'd known him. "Julian, what happened? Talk to me—" "Everything we built, everything I believed. It's all a lie." My heart slammed against my ribs and my hands were shaking so badly, I could barely hold my phone still against my ear. "You're scaring me. What happened?" The words came out shaky, thin, not sounding like my own voice at all. "They did this. They—" His voice broke and he was gasping now, like he couldn't get enough air into his lungs. "I can't believe I didn't see it. All these years, and they—" "Who? Julian, who are you talking about?" "I should have told you. I should have told you everything." He was sobbing, the words tumbling out in these broken little gasps. "I've been such a fool all this time, and I didn't—" "Julian, please—" "I thought I knew them but it was all—" A crash

Too late, dear husband; Mrs Grant is done

Too late, dear husband; Mrs Grant is done

The cruelest thing about escaping your ex-husband is discovering he never let you go. For three years, Mireya loved a man who hated her for marrying him instead of her sister. When that sister finally wakes from her coma, Mireya walks away from the marriage that destroyed her—and swears she will never let another man have that kind of power over her again. Then she meets Nikolai Moreau. Their first encounter is disastrous. Their second comes with an impossible proposal: a fake marriage with a man who is far too possessive for pretending. It should be simple. No love. No attachment. No happily-ever-after. Except Nikolai doesn’t know how to keep his hands—or his obsession—off his wife. Then Malcolm returns. He needs something only Mireya can give him, but he doesn’t know the woman standing before him is the wife he once discarded. And suddenly, the past she escaped is closing in. A jealous woman wants Nikolai. Old betrayals are resurfacing. And secrets Mireya thought were buried are threatening to destroy everything she has rebuilt. She escaped her ex-husband. She never expected to fall for the man who might make escaping him impossible.

Chapter: BUSINESS COLLISION
MIREYA SARAI ORLOVI got to the Regal twenty minutes early because I wasn't about to let three months of chasing Marcus Lindqvist end with me walking in flustered. The lobby was all marble and quiet money, the kind of place where nobody raises their voice above what's necessary. I found the conference room number Elena had texted me, smoothed my jacket, and pushed the door open before I could talk myself into being nervous about it.Nikolai was sitting at the head of the table like he owned it, which, as it turned out, he basically did.I stopped so fast my folder nearly went sliding off my arm. He didn't even look up at first, just kept turning a page, a pen loose in his fingers, unbothered by the fact that I was standing there gaping at him."What are you doing here?"He finally looked up, in no hurry about it. "I'm the business partner.""You're not. Marcus Lindqvist is the business partner — that's the whole reason I've been trying to get this meeting for three months."The young

Chapter: TELL HIM I’M GONE
MIREYA SARAI ORLOVSunlight hit my face like an accusation and I was awake before I even opened my eyes, grabbing at sheets that didn't feel like mine because they weren't. I lay there a second longer trying to place the ceiling, the smell of cedar, the wrong color of the curtains, and then it all landed at once — the dinner, Cyril's crying down the hall, the way she'd gone still in my arms."Mommy's gone."A child who barely talked had said that to me. Not to her father or to the nanny who'd raised her. To me, someone she'd known less than a day, and I still hadn't worked out why that fact alone made it so hard to breathe.Children said odd things, I told myself. She was tired. She didn't know what she was saying half the time, probably didn't even remember saying it now.I didn't believe that for a second, but I got up anyway, because lying there picking at it wasn't going to change anything.___The bathroom mirror wasn't kind. Hair was everywhere, and my eyes rimmed from a night

Chapter: WHO WAS MOMMY?
MIREYA SARAI ORLOV “She won’t stop,” Nikolai said, his voice flat, worn thin at the edges. “I’ve tried everything.” I stood frozen in the doorway, watching him rock Cyril against his chest. Her whole body shook with the crying, small fists knotted into his shirt like she thought letting go would make him vanish. Her face was red, her breath coming out in short, broken hiccups. He rocked her slow and stiff, like he doesn’t fully trust his own arms to do it right and I moved towards them causing him to look up at me when the floor creaked under me. I didn’t answer right away. I was watching Cyril’s face over his shoulder, her eyes squeezed shut, tears sliding down in a steady track. Then she opened them and immediately she saw me, something in her small body changed. Her cries hitched, then dropped to shaky whimpers. Her fingers loosened from Nikolai’s shirt. She twisted in his arms, straining sideways, both hands stretching out toward me like I was the one thing in the roo

Chapter: THE SOUND IN THE HALLWAY
MIREYA SARAI ORLOVThe dining room smelled like rosemary and warm bread, candlelight flickering off the chandelier overhead. A maid set a plate in front of me without a sound, moving down the table to do the same for August, then Nikolai, then back toward the kitchen before anyone had said a word.Nikolai sat across from me, quieter than he'd been at the restaurant. There, he'd been all sharp edges and dismissiveness. Here, something about him sat lower, heavier, like the day had finally caught up to his shoulders. Every so often his eyes cut toward Cyril's high chair, then back, then away again, and he didn't seem to notice he was doing it.August lifted his glass toward me, color back in his face for the first time all night."Two awards in one evening," he said. "I don't believe I've ever seen anyone manage that.""It wasn't exactly planned." I smiled and August shook his head with a shrug."Neither was the heart attack. We manage regardless."I laughed before I could catch it. "T

Chapter: THANKS FOR THE OFFER, BUT NO
MIREYA SARAI ORLOV"If the two of you finally got married."My knees actually went numb for a second. I felt myself rock back on my heels, one hand finding the bed rail and for a moment I just stood there staring at him like the words hadn't fully landed yet."August." My voice came out thinner than I wanted. "Where is this even coming from?""What? You went on a date. You're my two favorite people in this room. I'm simply saying what I see.""No. August, you're not fine. You had a heart attack a few hours ago. You cannot be thinking about this right now.""Please. I know exactly what I'm saying."Nikolai stepped in beside the bed. His voice coming out low in away I haven’t heard before. "Granddad, please just go to sleep, you’re not thinking straight.""I'm thinking perfectly straight," August said, though his voice had worn thin from all the talking."You are not." I crossed my arms, mostly to stop my hands from shaking. "This is not a normal thing to say to two people right after

Chapter: LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE
MIREYA SARAI ORLOV"What the fuck are you doing here?"He turned toward me with Cyril asleep against his shoulder. It was nearly one in the morning, and he still had that presence that made a room feel smaller around him. Broad through the shoulders and his jaw still set from the argument in the parking lot. The same composed stillness from the restaurant that had irritated me all night — and hadn't stopped being distracting, if I was honest with myself, even once."Who are you?" he said, before I could get anything else out. "Why do you keep showing up wherever I—""I could ask you that." I talked right over the end of his sentence. "This is the third time tonight. The restaurant, the parking lot, and now you're standing in this room like you own it.""I do belong here. This is my grandfather's room.""No, it's—" I stopped, then started again. "No. August is my grandfather. Not by blood. But close enough that it doesn't matter, not to either of us. I've known him for years.""That's

Chapter: CHAPTER 178- EPILOGUE
EPILOGUE- SEREIAOne year later, the cliffs of Santorini dropped straight into a sea so blue it looked unreal, and Valerian had bought out the entire stretch for the day — a private clifftop estate normally reserved for heads of state, white canopies lining a path carved into the rock, rose petals scattered the length of it.“You ready, child?” Gracie asked, gripping my hand like she was the one getting married.“I’ve been ready for a year.”She laughed, already crying. “Then go get him.”The quartet shifted into something slower, strings rising over the sound of waves below, and I walked.Valerian stood waiting at the end of the path, dark suit, no tie, his hair slightly windblown. He looked at me like the sea and the hundred guests behind us had simply ceased to exist.“You’re beautiful,” he said when I reached him.“You say that every time.”“Because it’s true every time.”The officiant’s words blurred past until I heard the part that mattered. “Do you, Valerian, take Sereia to be

Chapter: Chapter 178
VALERIANThree weeks had passed since the shooting.Three weeks of white walls and beeping machines and the particular smell of antiseptic that I’d started to taste in the back of my throat even when I wasn’t in the building anymore. Three weeks of sitting in the same plastic chair, holding the same hand, memorizing every line of the same still face. Three weeks of waiting for her eyes to open.I hadn’t left the hospital once.Gracie brought me food I mostly didn’t eat. Sarah brought clean clothes I changed into without really registering it. Liyana came every afternoon straight from school, climbing up beside the bed to take her mother’s hand in both of hers, voice gone soft and careful in a way no five-year-old should have to learn. “Mommy, wake up. I miss you.”But Sereia didn’t wake up.Today, Gracie finally put her foot down.“Valerian.” She planted herself in the doorway like she meant to physically block it. “You need to go home. A few hours. Shower. Sleep in an actual bed. E

Chapter: Chapter 177
VALERIANThe gunshot cracked through the cabin like something splitting in half, and I felt it before I understood it — my whole body going rigid even with my fist still buried in Lucas’s jaw.I looked up. Sereia was already falling. Selena stood over her, the gun still smoking in her hand, and for half a second the room just stopped — Marcus already surging toward Selena, Annabelle screaming somewhere on the floor with blood soaking through her sleeve — but none of it registered. There was only Sereia, dropping to her knees in slow motion that felt like it would never end.Blood was already spreading dark across her dress. Her eyes were open, but something in them had gone distant, unfocused, like she was looking at me from somewhere far away.“Sereia!”I shoved Lucas off me without thinking. He hit the floor and didn’t move again. I didn’t care. I was already across the room, dropping down beside her, my hands finding her shoulders.“Sereia. Look at me! Loom at me.”Her eyes found

Chapter: Chapter 176
SEREIAThe cabin sat dead quiet in the dark — too quiet, the kind of quiet that made every small sound feel like a threat.I stood just behind Valerian, my pulse hammering so hard I could hear it in my own ears, drowning out the wind moving through the trees. Lucas stood on the porch like he owned the night. He had Liyana’s rabbit dangling loose from one hand — her purple rabbit, the one she dragged everywhere, the one she couldn’t sleep without.“Where is she?” Valerian’s voice came out flat. Ice over something boiling underneath.Lucas only smiled. “Safe. For now.”Every cell in my body wanted to lunge at him, claw the smile right off his face. My legs wouldn’t move, fear had me rooted in place like roots had grown through my feet.“She’s inside,” Lucas went on, almost conversational. “Sleeping, finally she cried a good for a good while and she kept calling for you two.” His eyes slid to me. “Almost broke my heart, Sereia. Almost.”“Give her back.”“Not yet.” He flicked the rabbit

Chapter: Chapter 175
SEREIAThe house felt like it was holding its breath.I sat on the couch with my hands pressed between my knees, eyes locked on the front door, and every creak of the old wood made me jolt upright. Every shifting shadow across the wall made some stupid, desperate part of me think there, she’s there — and every time it wasn’t, the hollow place under my ribs widened a little more.Marcus had been gone twenty minutes. Twenty minutes of nothing. Twenty minutes where the only sound in the room was Valerian’s shoes against the floorboards.Gracie had retreated to the kitchen, where I could hear her filling a kettle no one was going to drink from. Sarah stood near the window, phone pressed to her ear, murmuring something low and urgent to someone I couldn’t identify. And Valerian just kept walking — six feet one way, turn, six feet back — like if he stopped moving his body might do something worse.“Valerian,” I said.He didn’t slow down.“Valerian.”That one landed. He spun toward me, eye

Chapter: Chapter 174
SEREIAThe garden was still glowing when I understood my daughter was gone.Fairy lights swayed overhead like nothing had changed. The band kept playing something soft and unbothered. Somewhere behind me, glasses clinked, someone laughed too loud at a joke I’d never hear, and the whole party just kept moving, oblivious, while the ground had opened up under me.“Liyana!” The sound that came out of me didn’t feel like my own voice. “Liyana, baby, where are you?”Nothing answered. Just the band. Just the laughter. Just a silence shaped exactly like the place her voice should have filled.“Sereia.” Valerian’s hand closed around my arm. “Where did she go?”“I don’t know. She was right there.” My throat had started closing on the words. “Playing with the other kids. She was right there, Valerian.”Sarah appeared at my shoulder, all the color gone from her face. “I turned around for one second. One second, Sereia, I was taking a picture and then—”“It’s not your fault.” I pulled free of both
