Too Late To Claim The Bride
Cora's marriage only lasted for 24 hours. One night as a bride. The next day as a scandal.
Before they could go for their honeymoon, her husband, Leon suddenly received a call from his best friend and he chose her over their flight. Only for him to return later with divorce papers, choosing his best friend’s lies over her, humiliating her, and ended their marriage without a second thought.
He let her go without believing her, and on the day their divorce was finalized, Cora found out she was pregnant.
Five years later, she returns as Coco Woods; a world-renowned luxury fragrance founder, the name every elite brand is desperate to work with, Including his.
Leon's company is on the verge of collapsing. Investors are willing if he gets Coco Woods. His father has also given him an ultimatum: Secure Coco Woods collaboration within six months, or lose everything to his stepbrother.
Now the only woman who can save him
is the one he broke. The one who won’t even look at him twice. And regret has been destroying him ever since.
And Cora?
She didn’t come back for love or closure. She came back for something more dangerous. And a secret he would never expect.
Because this time, he’s the one chasing
and she’s the one walking away.

Chapter: Chapter 5CORA"Leon! Leon!!" I shouted, banging on the door for the umpteenth time that evening. I couldn't even tell how many minutes I'd been standing outside, begging him to come out so we could talk.After leaving the hotel, I went straight to our house only to find my things carefully packed outside. Every single thing. I don't know how he did it so quickly, but I wasn't ready to accept that our marriage would just end like that.The door opened slowly, and my face lit up, only for Candice to step outside."Why are you still here?"My stomach twisted. "I need to talk to Leon," I replied sharply.She folded her arms. "Well, he doesn't want to talk to you.""This was your plan, right?"She blinked. "What are you talking about?"Before I could reply, Leon appeared from behind her. A smile slipped out of my face, but he glared at me."I already told you there's nothing to talk about, Cora. We are done."I shook my head. "No, we are not. Candice planned this whole thing. She wants to ruin our

Chapter: Chapter 4CORABarely twenty-four hours after our wedding, my husband was already requesting a divorce.The fact that he got it drafted so quickly was baffling. My eyes darted between him and the papers again, trying to confirm I wasn't in some sort of trance or something.I looked down at the papers again, and then a fit of laughter escaped my mouth."This is a joke, right? Are you trying to shoot some sort of content?"His face hardened. "This is serious."I chuckled. "I'm not going to fall for your prank. When did you start taking your social media seriously?""This is not some prank, Cora. We are getting a divorce," he replied sternly.I laughed. "I won't become your road to going viral," I replied, taking my seat on the edge of the bed."I've filed it already."My head snapped back. "What did you just say?""I filed the divorce already," he repeated, his expression remaining stoic.My pulse had started quickening. I could feel my heart racing fast already. This had better be a prank."You'

Chapter: Chapter 3CORA"Good morning, love," Leon mumbled groggily beside me, pulling me close to his chest."We have to prepare for the flight," I whispered back.His hand rested on my waist. "It's still so early. We still have enough time, right?" he asked slowly, his eyes still shut.We slept late last night. Actually, we didn't sleep until the early hours of the morning, so I could understand why he was still so sleepy, but we had a honeymoon to go to.Our flight to Bali was in two hours."We have less than two hours," I replied, moving his hand gently to his side."We can still sleep a bit then. The airport is only ten minutes away," he reminded me.Of course it was, but I needed to get ready. We had to ensure we had everything."I'll let you sleep for thirty minutes.""Thank you, love. I love you." He blew me a kiss before rolling over to the other side and pulling the duvet over himself.I let out a chuckle and then headed to the bathroom.When I stepped in a couple of minutes later, I met Leon

Chapter: Chapter 2CORAI woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache.As I rolled onto my side, something solid shifted beneath me. Not the mattress."A body".My eyes flew open.And there was a man on my head. Not Annie. Not any of the girls. Not even Candice.If I weren't still in my contact lenses, I would have thought Leon had suddenly got tanned, and he sneaked in in the middle of the night, but this didn't look anything like my husband.Before I could stop myself, I let out a piercing scream as I jumped out of the bed.The man stirred in his sleep, and then his eyes opened."Who are you?" I yelled.His brows furrowed in confusion. I looked down at my body, my heart hammering fast.Thankfully, I was still fully clothed. The man was fully dressed, too. It didn't look like anything disastrous had happened. I didn't even want to think about that at all.But how did a man end up in my room? I looked around the room to be sure I didn't enter another person's room. I knew I had gotten drunk. I co

Chapter: Chapter 1CORA"I think we can start the party now," Annie announced, raising her glass, but before others could scream, the door flung open."Not without me."I shared a look with Annie as mumbles filled the air. Candice strolled into the room with a wide smile on her face."Why is she here?" Annie whispered to me.Candice looked around, her smile not wavering."Why do you all look surprised to see me?I forced a tight-lipped smile."I wasn't expecting you."Her smile widened. "Well, I'm your friend, right?"We weren't friends. She was more or less an acquaintance."We thought you would be at the bachelor's eve, after all, Leon is your best friend," Annie pointed out.Candice turned to her. "I'll rather support my friend's bride."Annie scoffed. "Is that why you're wearing the same dress as the bride? Is that what you call support?"I pinched my best friend, but she swatted my hands off immediately. Annie was the definition of straightforward; she never backs out of anything.Candice looked do
