Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late My Bad
The name left Miranda’s mouth like she had forgotten how to breathe properly.Noah stood at the end of the hallway, one side of his face still freshly dressed. He looked like he had run out of the hospital with unfinished treatment.Because he had.Colin stood beside him, face hard, eyes moving from Miranda to Adrian, then to Richard, then back to Miranda.Noah didn’t move.He didn’t even blink.His eyes were on Miranda like the rest of the world had suddenly become background noise.Miranda’s heart dropped into her stomach.No.No, no, no.How much did he hear?Her lips parted, but nothing reasonable came out.“Noah, I…”Noah took one slow step forward.His voice was low.“Did you mean everything you just said?”Miranda froze.Her throat closed.Colin looked away briefly like even he knew this was too naked to watch.Noah’s eyes stayed on her.“Everything you just said,” he repeated. “Did you mean it?”Miranda swallowed.Her mouth opened.Closed.Opened again.“I… I didn’t know you w

Richard’s mind stopped working.For one second, he forgot every lie he was supposed to tell.Forgot Adrian was somewhere outside, waiting for his grand entrance like a devil with timing.All Richard saw was Miranda.Breathless, terrified, and now confused. His mouth opened before his brain could stop it.“How did you get here so fast?”The room died.Melissa’s hand slowly dropped from behind his neck. Then, very slowly, she pushed herself away from him.Richard felt the separation immediately.Melissa stared at him.Miranda was still standing by the door, one hand against the frame like she needed it to stay upright.Her eyes moved from Melissa to Richard.Then back again, waiting for any of them to tell her what’s going on.Richard stood also.“Melis…”Melissa cut in first.“You knew she was coming?”It was a catch. Even Richard’s guilty expression confirmed it. Melissa’s face shifted.“Wow?” Melissa mumbled. He couldn’t look at her.Miranda took a small step inside, directing her

Richard stared at Adrian, who looked too innocent for the chaos he’s capable of. Adrian stood near the window, one hand tucked into his pocket, his eyes moving lazily between Richard and the quiet street outside Melissa’s apartment.“You’re wasting time,” Adrian said.Richard looked up sharply.“I know what I’m doing.”Adrian’s mouth curved. “Do you?”Richard didn’t answer immediately.That was the problem.He didn’t know anymore.The plan had sounded simple when Adrian said it.Get Miranda out.Get her away from the Jones Mansion.Make sure she came alone.Let Adrian “run into her” like it was some grand coincidence.That was all.No violence. No chaos. “Please, you know this is the only way Miranda can come here.”Richard hated how easy Adrian made terrible things sound.“How sure are you that she’ll come alone?” Richard asked“That’s the whole point of getting you involved. You need to make it seem like Melissa was the one asking her out for an important talk and does not want a
Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late 'Bit' is Enough
Colin stared at Noah for a long moment.For someone who usually had an opinion about everything, Colin was taking an unusually long time.Finally, he sighed."You know what? After thinking about it… I stand with whatever Miranda wants."Noah blinked. That wasn't exactly the answer he had been hoping for.But it wasn't a rejection either."So, you’re saying you agree that we can be together..."Colin pointed at him."If she likes you…"Noah nodded rapidly… excited. He looked seconds away from jumping over the desk.Colin rolled his eyes."Then I won't stand in the way."Relief washed over Noah. A genuine smile spread across his face."Thank you.""Don't thank me yet."The smile froze."What now?"Colin folded his arms."I still haven't approved anything."Noah groaned dramatically."You just said…""I said I stand with whatever Miranda wants. The distinction was very clear.”Noah sighed."Fine."A brief silence followed.Then Colin spoke again."Although… I do think Miranda might like
Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late His Confession
Noah stared at Colin for a second.Then another.Then he slowly rose from his chair.Colin frowned.“What are you doing?”Noah pointed at him.“Take three steps back.”“What?”“Three steps, Colin.”“Why?”“Because I'm worried about your reaction.”Colin blinked, his anger already building up. “Does this have anything to do with Melissa?” Colin asked. “Huh?” Noah was taken aback. “Is the person you’re in love with Melissa?” Colin repeated his question. “What? No! No! No way. What do you mean?” Noah blurted out the words, literally in shock. Colin is visibly relieved. He put his two hands on his forehead, his heart beating very fast. “What’s this about?” Noah asked, still confused. “You scared the shit out of me,” Colin responded. “Wait… why are you concerned about my reaction then?” Colin added. Noah sighed heavily.“Well…”He stepped backward himself.One step.Two.Three.Far enough to run if necessary.Colin narrowed his eyes.“Why are you being dramatic?”“You once threw a
Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late Tell Me Something
For one horrifying second, he genuinely thought he might have to answer his mother's question. Maybe just tell her the truth; he’s still pursuing Melissa. Unfortunately, he had absolutely no idea how to answer it in a way that won’t make the situation awkward or complicate things for Melissa. She’s still Miranda’s best friend after all. And judging by recent events, it might have already been affecting the girls’ relationship.Thankfully, before he could embarrass himself, Mr. Jones stepped in."Oh, leave the boy alone."Mrs. Jones looked at her husband."What?"Mr. Jones shook his head."It's too early. They've just got together. Let the children enjoy themselves first. Don’t add the pressure of meeting the parents yet. That's exactly how parents scare relationships away."Mrs. Jones narrowed her eyes.Colin immediately nodded."Exactly, Mom."Mrs. Jones rolled her eyes. She didn’t exactly agree with them, but she had no choice but to let it go. “Don’t stay out late,” She reminded
Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late No Hard Feelings
Melissa folded her arms immediately. “What issue at hand?”Noah looked at Miranda first before speaking.“Mr. and Mrs. Jones are returning to the country in two days,” he said. “And Colin might not be back until then as well.”Melissa rolled her eyes, confused. She didn’t understand the point Noah

Miranda didn’t answer.Not a word.Not even a shake of her head.Nothing.Just silence.Noah knew she wouldn’t answer the question even before he asked. He just couldn’t hold in the urge to ask. And somehow…Her silence said too much. It didn’t reduce the impact it made despite the fact that it w
Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late Caught In Between
The question barely left Noah’s lips before instinct took over.“Damn it… Miranda!”He didn’t wait.Didn’t think.He lifted her into his arms immediately, her body far too light, far too weak against his chest.Miranda’s head lolled slightly against him, her grip on his shirt slipping.“Noah…” she
Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late Too Harsh to Keep
The object came fast.A heavy ceramic flower vase spun through the air and slammed straight into Richard’s forehead.“Thud!”“Ah…!”He staggered back, clutching his head as the impact sent a sharp sting through his skull. The vase shattered on the ground, pieces scattering across the floor.Melissa
