The Longing Too Late Chapter 10 The Promise She Chose to Believe
As Ryan said it, I could clearly see the jealousy and resentment on his face. I took the phone from him and spoke gently to Samantha on the other end. "Samantha, if you're using something this extreme to force me to come back, then I really won't give you another chance." Her crying stopped. I continued calmly, "I'm giving you one minute. Step away from there. If you really do something reckless, I won't feel sorry for you." The moment she heard that, Samantha seemed to come back to life. "Caleb, do you mean that?" she cried excitedly, "Do I really still have a chance? Will you really forgive me?" I smiled faintly and nodded at the phone. Then I ended the call. At least that was enough to stop her from doing something stupid. Ryan let out a long breath, shot me a hateful look, and left the room. Everyone else at the table, however, looked confused by what I had just done. "Caleb, she wouldn't deserve pity even if she died!" one of my friends commented. "Don't tell m
The Longing Too Late Chapter 9 The Uninvited Guest
Before the cab door could fully close, Samantha forced her hand through the gap. The door slammed hard against her fingers. "Argh!" Her scream tore through the night. She collapsed to the ground, clutching her bleeding hand as she cried out in pain. Even the driver looked uneasy. "Sir," he spoke carefully, glancing in the rearview mirror, "are you sure you don't want to check on her? Couples fight all the time. Maybe you should—" "She's not my girlfriend," I said coldly from the back seat. "She's stalking me." The driver's expression changed instantly. The next second, he hit the gas and drove off without looking back. "Yeah," he muttered. "I thought something was off about her. She looked seriously unstable."And just like that, Samantha and I were finally over. Now that my mother's necklace was back in my hands, there was nothing tying me to her anymore. The day before I left the country, I booked a private room at a hotel restaurant and invited a few former cowork
The Longing Too Late Chapter 8 Waiting Until Three
I gave a faint smile and pointed at the time on my watch. "I said I would go see her, but I never said when." Samantha waited until late into the night, right up until the cafe was about to close, but I still hadn't shown up. A barista finally walked over with an impatient look. "Miss, you've been sitting here all day, and you haven't even ordered a coffee," she said. "You can't take up a table for hours without buying anything." Samantha was already in a terrible mood, and that was all it took for her to snap. She pulled a thick stack of cash from her wallet and threw it in the barista's face. "Who are you to talk to me that way?" she shouted. "Do I look like I can't afford to be here? Is this enough for me to sit for another hour?" The barista's expression shifted instantly. Humiliated and furious, she pulled out her phone to call the police. "You think money gives you the right to treat people like this? Let's see if you're still acting tough when the cops arrive."
The Longing Too Late Chapter 7 Ninety-Nine Apologies
Samantha tried calling me, but none of her calls went through. Desperate, she went door to door, knocking on the neighbors' doors and trying to find out where I had gone. Unfortunately for her, no one knew anything useful. Only one old lady told her that the house was not being sold for the time being, and that I had ended the arrangement with the real estate agency. When Samantha heard that, she finally relaxed a little. She rushed to the nearest phone store, bought a new SIM, and sent me several messages from a new number. 'Caleb, I know you only pretended to sell the house because you were angry with me. I know I was wrong now. I promise we can have the engagement party this weekend, and then we can make it official right after. Okay?' Another message came in right after. 'The sounds you heard last time were only Ryan and me acting. I never betrayed you. Please believe me.' When Samantha tried to send a third message, it failed. The red exclamation mark appeared on
The Longing Too Late Chapter 6 The House I Sold
Realizing something was wrong, Samantha rushed to the curb and flagged down a taxi. She hurried back to the house as fast as she could, but when she reached the front door, she saw several people in work shirts taking photos inside. Movers were carrying boxes and furniture out, one trip after another. Samantha flew into a rage and blocked the doorway. "Who are you people?" she shouted. "Who permitted you to touch my things? Put everything down right now, or I'm calling the police!" The real estate agent stared at her in confusion. "Ma'am, what are you talking about?" he asked. "This is Mr. Caleb Hayes' house. He hired us three days ago to list it for sale. The buyer has already moved forward with the purchase, and we're just helping him clear out the remaining items." Then his tone turned colder as he added, "Please stop interfering with our work." Samantha looked even more confused. "Sold?" she snapped. "That's impossible. This is the house Caleb bought for our future
The Longing Too Late Chapter 5 The Final Step
My eyes burned, and for a moment, I could barely speak. I had lost a friendship that truly mattered because of someone who had never deserved that kind of loyalty from me. For Samantha, I had thrown away my dignity again and again, sinking lower each time just to hold on to a relationship that had been destroying me from the inside out. I had realized it late, but at least I still had a chance to make things right. I put an arm around my friend's shoulders and told him I was leaving the country soon. He looked upset when he heard it, but in the end, he supported my decision. He knew better than anyone that if I made the same mistake again, then whatever happened next would be on me. … After Samantha left the bar, she lost all interest in the rest of the night. Ryan tried the same old trick again. He pulled off his tie and leaned closer, deliberately flirting with her. "Samantha, stop drinking by yourself. You haven't looked happy since we got here. Did Caleb get under y
