TOO LATE TO WANT ME UNSETTLING CHAOS
Chapter 65Skylar's POVThe police took Adrian away.From where I stood outside my office, I could hear the raised voices coming from down the hallway. Employees pretended not to stare, but they stared anyway. A few guests from the promotional event were doing an even worse job of pretending.I couldn't blame them. Watching a businessman get approached by police officers in the middle of a corporate event wasn't exactly an everyday occurrence.One of the officers emerged briefly from the crowd before disappearing again. Apparently Adrian was refusing to cooperate. I wasn't surprised. Men like him didn't survive by talking. They survived by staying silent and letting other people take the fall.My gaze drifted toward the elevator doors.Part of me had expected him to panic and say something useful. Maybe mention Jason or reveal who had sent him.Instead, he'd done none of those things.Not once had he mentioned Jason's name.Yet my suspicions remained. If anything, they had only grown
TOO LATE TO WANT ME LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?
Chapter 64 Skylar's POV The elevator doors closed behind me, and for a few seconds I simply stood there in the hospital lobby. The conversation we'd had kept replaying in my mind. The way she'd looked at me. I'm happier than when I lived with you all. The words had been honest. But honesty didn't always feel good. Sometimes it hurt everyone involved. I pushed the thought away. There wasn't anything I could do about it now. The past was already behind us. The only thing I could control was what happened next. So I left the hospital and drove back to work. By the time I arrived, the afternoon rush had already begun. Employees moved through the building carrying folders and samples. Phones rang constantly and meetings started and ended. Business continued. I walked into my office and immediately found Zane waiting for me. He was sitting across from my desk. The moment he looked up, he studied my face carefully. Trying to read me or figure out what kind of news I was brin
TOO LATE TO WANT ME ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR NEW LIFE?
Chapter 63 Skylar's POV The moment I asked where her father was, Rory's expression changed. A flicker of disappointment crossed her face before she quickly looked away. That alone told me more than words could. For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. Then she shrugged. "He didn't come." I frowned. "What do you mean he didn't come?" Rory focused on the blanket covering her legs. The way children often do when they don't want to make eye contact during uncomfortable conversations. "The school called him first." My stomach tightened. "And?" She swallowed. "They couldn't reach him." A strange mixture of emotions rose inside me. Anger, disbelief and frustration all tangled together. "They called him several times?" She nodded. "I think so." "And he didn't answer?" "No. It seemed he must be busy at work." She said it quietly, almost like she was defending him. That was the explanation. A child was lying in a clinic. And her explanation was that he must be
TOO LATE TO WANT ME I WAS THEIR MOTHER
Chapter 62 Skylar's POV My heart was pounding before I even ended the call. The principal's voice had told me everything I needed to know. Something had happened.The moment I lowered the phone, I was already standing. "What happened?" Zane asked. I grabbed my purse so quickly that it nearly slipped from my hands. "I don't know." My voice sounded strained. The panic was already setting in. "It's the school." Zane immediately stood as well. "What did they say?" "Nothing.They just told me to come." I was already moving toward the door. My pulse hammered painfully inside my chest while a thousand possibilities rushed through my mind all at once. She could have been in an accident, an illness, a fight or something worse. I stopped just long enough to look back. Zane's expression had become serious. "Call me when you get there." I nodded. Then I left. The drive to the school felt endless. Every red light irritated me and every slow driver became an obstacle. I gri
TOO LATE TO WANT ME PLEASE COME TO THE SCHOOL
Chapter 61Skylar's POVThe next morning felt strangely normal. That was the unsettling part.The sun still rose. Traffic still clogged the roads.Employees still arrived carrying coffee cups and complaining about deadlines.Yet somewhere beneath all of that normalcy sat the knowledge that a stranger had walked into my company and planted a listening device under my desk.Every time I thought about it, anger flared all over again. I had barely settled into my office when my phone rang.The number wasn't saved. For a second, I considered ignoring it. Then I answered."Hello?""Good morning, Miss Skylar."My grip tightened around the phone. I recognized the voice immediately. Adrian Cole. Or whatever his real name was. The sound of his voice made my skin crawl. But I forced myself to sound pleasant."Mr. Cole. Good morning.""I'm glad I caught you." His tone was relaxed and friendly. Like we were business partners. Like he hadn't secretly planted a device in my office."I was actually ho
TOO LATE TO WANT ME I FOUND THE LISTENING DEVICE
Chapter 60Skylar's POVI barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Adrian Cole's face. Or whoever he really was. I pictured the way he'd walked confidently through my company as if he belonged there. And then the conversation with Zane kept replaying in my head."Did he drop anything?""People like that plant listening devices.""Check tomorrow."The worst part was that I couldn't tell whether I wanted Zane to be wrong or right. If he was wrong, then I'd spent an entire night worrying over nothing.If he was right… Then someone had deliberately targeted me. Neither option felt particularly comforting. By the time morning arrived, I was exhausted.I got dressed quickly and headed to work. I hadn't had time to visit Mara at the hospital in the past few days. Guilt sat heavily in my chest every time I thought about it. She'd been there for me more times than I could count. Yet work and everything else happening in my life had kept getting in the way.I glanced at the clock on my
