Too Late To Apologize, Mr. CEO Chapter 106 - Ethan’s POV
It was moving day. We were putting all our stuff in boxes and stacking them in the hallway. “Hey Ethan, can you help me with this?” Emma had to make sure her toys were comfy before we packed them away. I held her backpack closed while she carefully zipped it up. I still feel bad when I think about how we met, but it turned out to be a real stroke of luck for me. She’s become a true friend. And she’s so happy and friendly, she’s helped me make other friends too. It’s hard for me to make friends. I don’t talk. Not since the bad thing happened. Emma doesn’t care. She doesn’t talk most of the time either. She’s mostly deaf. She has a hearing aid, but sometimes it runs out of batteries or stops working.I worry about that. If she can’t hear, how can she tell when bad people are coming? That’s why I make sure to look out for her. She and Claire are my family now, and I love them. Claire came in. Her hair was messy and there was a smear of dust on her forehead, but she was smiling.
Too Late To Apologize, Mr. CEO Chapter 105 - Savannah’s POV
“Savannah darling, look at this letter we got!” My mother was practically vibrating with excitement. She waved a letter in my face and I grabbed it. The paper was heavy and cream-colored. There was a crown at the top of the page, along with a coat of arms. Frogsham Manor. Cheshire.I scanned it quickly.“We would like to extend our most sincere thanks…” “your tireless dedication and parental love…” “the remarkable young woman our granddaughter, Claire, has become…” “You will always have our deepest respect and friendship…”“What the fuck is this?” I crushed the letter in my fist, fighting the thick, heavy paper to do so, and tossed it on the floor. “It’s from Claire's real grandparents. They’re earls!” Mom was grinning from ear to ear. “Brian! Brian, come look at this!” She picked up the crumpled letter and smoothed it out. My father took it carefully. He pointed to the top of the letter, smiling, “Look, they have a crest! ‘Luctor et emergo’” he read out. “What does that mea

“Are you sure you guys will be all right?” I asked Maya. “I just got back to work. I feel terrible leaving you again right away.”“I still can’t believe Lady Althea is your grandmother!” Maya said. “Does that mean you’re Lady Claire now?” “I don’t know,” I replied, somewhat irritably. “I thought you were a leftist. Your hair is blue. Aren’t you against the aristocracy?”“Well, sure. In principle,” she said. “But Lady Althea is really nice. And she gave us this huge gift basket of British snacks. Look, they have Italian cheese and port flavored potato chips!” She waved a gold and white bag at me, grinning cheerfully.I frowned.“Okay, okay!” She sobered up. “We’ll be fine. If we really need help, we’ll call Kurt.” “Is that the last Italian cheese one?” Madison had come up behind me. She rummaged through the gift basket. “Aha!” She held up a bag triumphantly. “You know, Claire, of all the NGOs I’ve been at, you’re the only founder who actually showed up for work on a regular basis. Th
Too Late To Apologize, Mr. CEO Chapter 103 - Claire’s POV
I felt the blood drain from my face. I’d pretty much accepted that I’d never have a real family. At least, I knew I’d need to create my real family. Emma was my family. Ethan. Even Derek. Now this woman was telling me she was my long-lost relative. Blood of my blood. Someone who could give me a solid base to stand on. Tell me about my history. I almost didn’t want to believe it. It would hurt too much to find out it wasn’t true.Lady Althea had been watching me closely. I had the feeling that she could read every thought that crossed my mind.“We received a letter,” she said. “An actual letter! I was delighted.” She reached into her purse and took out an envelope. She slid it across to me.High-quality paper, lightly textured. Bänziger Law Group, Basel, Switzerland. “I know these people,” I said. I opened the letter and skimmed its contents. “Your daughter Charlotte…” “taken in by the Brooks family…” “now living in…” I put it down on my desk with numb fingers.“They sent us a lock o

I looked around the office, frowning in confusion. It was quiet—too quiet. We didn’t have many visitors at this time in the morning, but there should be the background hum of the staff working away. I knew for a fact that Cody often came in early to go over old cases. And where was Madison? Our front desk person was usually the first to enter and the last to leave, even though I’d told her many times she didn’t have to. She should at least take a long lunch to make up for the extra hours, but she wouldn’t do that either. I slipped to the side so my back was to the wall and I had a good field of vision taking in the whole office. Wrapping my purse’s strap tightly around my hand, I wondered about its usefulness as a flail. It was heavy enough to deal out a serious blow. If I survived this, maybe I could ask Isabella for some pointers. There was a clattering noise from Madison’s desk.I balanced my weight on the balls of my feet and got ready to sell my life dearly. “SURPRISE!” Madi

“So, give,” I said. “Tell me how you did it.” I tilted my head and gave Derek my most winning smile. He leaned back in his chair, still favoring his lower back. For a moment it seemed like he’d stand on his dignity and wouldn’t answer me, but he gave up with a sigh.“Right,” he said quietly. “Well, it turned out that getting those reservations was more difficult than I anticipated.” He looked off to the side, his expression haunted.I followed his gaze, but it was just a guy dressed as Pikachu. Nothing to look so traumatized about. In the background the children were eating fried rice served in the shape of a star and entering a state of food-induced bliss. The chaos had settled into a low hum of contented chewing. He leaned in closer, his voice dropping. “Yesterday, Kimura told me the only way he’d give me a reservation for nine people…” He looked down, covering his eyes with his hand. “Was if I filled in for his sick busboy.”I stared at him. Derek—the man who wore silk shirts be

Ryan snatched the photo back from me, but it was too late.“Where did you get that?” I asked.Micro-expressions flickered across his face. Hope. Joy. Fear.I schooled myself to show friendly teasing, with a hint of female indignation. “I hope you’re not cheating on Laura,” I said. “International su

I picked up a slime-making kit with an evil smile. Emma loved slime, and Derek and Savannah could deal with the mess. It had glitter in it. I showed it to Laura, who responded with an identical evil smile and a thumbs-up. When she heard I was going to the amusement park with Derek and Emma tomorr

“Darling,” Savannah said, eyes coyly downcast. “I need to go to the little girl’s room.” “Now?” I asked, glancing at my watch. “Claire and Emma will be out soon.” Her mouth tightened. “Yes,” she said. “I won’t be long.” She placed her hand protectively on her belly and gave me a luminous smile. “

I looked at the bitch I married. She was as beautiful as ever, maybe even more so. Her blonde hair glowed in the dim light, her bright eyes flashed. I wanted to grab her, press her to me and devour her lovely, lying mouth. “Come home with me,” I said, my voice rough with the emotion I was doing my
