•Cassie POV•

Jerald wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his chest, and for a moment, the world felt quiet. I rested my head against him, breathing in slowly, holding on as if letting go would make everything fall apart. We stayed like that for a while before slowly pulling away from each other.

“My love, I feel so bad that all this is happening,” I whispered, my voice shaking. I tried not to cry, but the lump in my throat made it hard to breathe. When I lifted my head and saw the worry

  • It's Too Late Now   Chapter 92

    •Scott POV•Every part of me throbbed. My ribs burned each time I dragged in a breath, and the taste of blood sat thick on my tongue. I pressed the back of my hand against my mouth and it came away red.I wiped my lips, then my nose, the tissue turning dark and wet in seconds. My head spun when I tried to stand straight, so I leaned on the wall and forced myself to think.Maybe Cassie told him I drove in front of her car just to get her attention, and Jerlad reacted to that.A dry laugh slipped out of me and turned into a groan.“The bitch,” I muttered, stumbling into the living room.I dropped onto the couch, the springs creaking under my weight. The room tilted and I shut my eyes until it settled. My knuckles were scraped, my jaw felt stiff, and every small movement sent sharp pain through my side.I knew Jerlad was strong. All that muscular body. I had been trying to avoid anything that would lead to a fight with him. If only I had seen this coming, I would have avoided coming home

    •Cassie POV•I sniffled, wiping my cheek with my palm, my heart thudding in my chest with fear, and it felt like I was standing in Scott’s parking lot watching him getting beaten up.The fear of him dying and Jerlad going to jail clawed at my chest. I shoved my hand through my hair as a deep breath escaped my lips.I turned away from the road heading toward the Lewis mansion. I couldn’t go home like that. I didn’t want to face Jerlad like this because I knew he was going to rush home to try to talk to me, but right now I wasn’t myself and I didn’t want to say anything that might hurt him.I pulled into Tamara’s driveway and got out of the car. I walked to the door and knocked for a while, then looked down at my phone, about to call her when I realized I hadn’t and she might not even be home.After knocking several times, I dialed her number. She didn’t pick up. Instead, I heard the door unlock.“Cassie?” Tamara said when she saw me. “What happened, why does it look like you've been cr

    •Cassie POV•“Oh my goodness,” I gasped, my hand pressed to my chest. “How could Charles betray us like this? Your mother would be so pissed if she ever finds out.”Jerlad didn’t say a word. He kept typing on his laptop, his jaw still clenched, and the way his fingers tapped on the keyboard showed how much he was trying to restrain himself.“So you didn’t cheat on me?” I mumbled more to myself, my hand dropping to my side as a wave of ease crept into my chest, like sunshine after a storm.Jerlad was still focused on his laptop. He kept scrolling and typing hurriedly, then he picked up his phone and dialed a number.“Where is his current location?”He waited for the reply before he stood up and walked hastily to the door. I didn’t know what Jerlad was about to do, but the way he looked, it was like he was about to murder someone, and I didn’t want to think that the person was Scott.“My love, where are you going?” I asked, hurrying after him.“I’ll be right back soon, honey,” he answer

    •Cassie POV•"Mommy, I don't like that man," Cara mumbled, resting her head on my thigh. Her little fingers played with a loose strand of my hair.But my mind wasn’t with her.I couldn’t stop thinking about Scott and how he kept showing up, always trying to get my attention. It was too much. Today, I didn’t even have the strength to argue.My thoughts were full of Jerlad. I kept hoping the photo was just my imagination. That the video was not real. That everything would disappear if I stopped thinking about it.The car door opening pulled me out of my thoughts. I scoffed when Scott’s words replayed in my head.>>"I’m not giving up on you. You can run, you can hide, but you’re mine. And I’ll be here when you’re ready to come home."’s face came into my mind again, and fear followed. What if my m

    •Scott POV•"Are you sure she's going to fall for it?" I asked on the call as I pushed open the door to my apartment. I dropped my keys on the table and sank into the couch."Yes, Mr. Williams. You know I don't joke with jobs like this," Martha replied."Good. I trust you on that." A smile pulled at my lips as I ran a hand through my hair. "Now I just have to wait and watch as everything falls in my favor.""Alright, I have to go now, but I'll keep you updated if anything comes up," she said, about to end the call, but I stopped her."Any information about Layla’s whereabouts? Do you know if she's in New York?" I asked, a strange weight settling in my gut. I couldn't deny that the house had been too quiet since she left."No, Mr. Williams," Martha said. "But she posted a picture yesterday. She's engaged. She didn’t show the man’s face, but it’s clearly not New York from the background.""Someone engaged Layla?" I muttered to myself, my mind drifting. "Alright, Martha. Thanks for the h

    •Cassie POV•"The little rabbit didn’t know what would happen next, but he trusted his gut that it would be good," I read softly as I closed the storybook and brushed my finger against Cara’s hair.Her lips curled into a smile. "Mommy, when will Daddy be back?"I tucked the strand obstructing her view as she lay on the bed, her little rabbit bunny clutched to her chest. "Sweetheart, your dad will be back tomorrow."Her eyes brightened with excitement and she shifted softly. "Can Daddy read a bedtime story to me tomorrow night? It’s been long since he read me a bedtime story."I took her little hand in mine, brushing my thumb against it. "Of course, my love. He will. I’ll let him know that you miss his deep storytelling voice.""Isn’t she a cutie, my little Cara," I mimicked Jerald’s manly voice and it made Cara chuckle. "Now sweetie, it’s time for you to go to bed. You have to go to school tomorrow.""Okay, Mommy," she muttered, and I watched as she closed her eyes. I stood up from th
