Too Late To Claim The Bride Chapter 36
Cora The sun was barely up over the Manhattan skyline, but my brand-new kitchen already sounded like a war zone. I leaned against the marble entryway, a glass of orange juice in hand, watching the chaos unfold. Annie had insisted on waking up early to cook a massive, traditional breakfast for the family, but her culinary skills had apparently stayed behind in Paris.BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!The high-pitched screech of the ceiling smoke detector blasted through the apartment, piercing right through my eardrums. A thick, dark cloud of burnt pancake smoke was billowing rapidly out of the oven, turning the kitchen air gray in a fraction of a second.Ricky and Riley were losing their minds, running in circles around the massive kitchen island, screaming with laughter as they treated the emergency like a playground game."The kitchen is on fire! The kitchen is on fire!" Ricky yelled, waving his plastic fire truck in the air as his dark curls bounced wildly."Save the syrup, Ricky! Save the syrup!

Leon The morning sun cut through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the main Manhattan boardroom, casting a bright, unforgiving glare across the polished mahogany table. The air in the room was thick with a heavy, expectant silence.Marcus sat directly to my right, a smug, arrogant smirk settled comfortably on his face as he idly spun an expensive gold pen between his fingers. He truly believed that today was the day he would finally step out of my shadow, walk into our grandfather's old office, and permanently claim my title as Chief Executive Officer. His custom leather folder, packed with alternative restructuring templates and names of potential new department heads, rested proudly on the wood between us.I didn't say a word to break the tension. Instead, I let a slow smile touch my lips as I reached into my briefcase, pulled out a thick stack of documents, and dropped them directly onto the center of the table.The heavy thud of the paper echoed sharply against the high ceili

CoraThe sounds of their loud laughter and heavy running steps slowly faded as they moved deeper into the massive estate, leaving the main living room in a deep, heavy quiet.I stood completely alone in the center of the vast space, the afternoon sun casting long, warm shadows across the polished floorboards. Slowly, I walked toward the massive, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, sliding them open with a soft, clean click. I stepped out onto the grand stone balcony.The cool New York air hit my face instantly, a sharp breeze rustling the edges of my cream designer coat as I gripped the sleek glass guardrail with both hands. I took a deep, steadying breath, letting the familiar scent of the city fill my lungs for the first time in five long years.The view from up here was dizzying. The entire sprawling Manhattan skyline stretched out beneath my feet like a massive, glittering map of concrete and glass. I looked down at the streets below, a sudden wave of sharp, heavy memories rushing throu

Cora The light, buzzing energy from the terminal stayed with us all the way down the wide concrete walkways of the airport terminal. Chloe led our group toward the private exit, walking with a confident, effortless stride that seemed to make the crowded hallway naturally part for us."I swear, Cora, the paperwork I had to sign just to get airport security to let me bring the private transport right up to the premium curb was ridiculous," Chloe said. She glanced back at me over her shoulder with a sharp smile.She pointed toward a sleek line of waiting luxury vehicles idling by the curb. Two large drivers in dark suits immediately stepped forward to take the heavy luggage carts from Annie."But of course, I had to clear my entire executive schedule for the morning," Chloe teased, opening the heavy passenger door of the lead SUV for the twins. "I couldn't exactly let the famous Coco Woods return to American soil without a proper escort, could I?""Oh, please, don't start with the famou

Cora"It looks so big!" Riley said, her eyes wide as she watched the sprawling airport buildings and cargo hangars slide past.We gathered our carry-on bags, the flight attendants bowing politely as we stepped out of the premium cabin and into the jet bridge. The walk through the international arrival gates was a loud, chaotic mix of moving walkways, security lines, and bustling crowds of travelers from all over the world.Ricky ended up riding on top of our largest rolling suitcase, holding onto the handle like a steering wheel, while Riley walked right next to my hip, clutching the pocket of my coat to keep from getting separated. Annie followed closely behind, keeping an eye on our luggage cart.The automatic exit doors finally slid open, leading us directly into the massive, crowded waiting lounge. Hundreds of people stood behind the heavy metal barricades, holding up signs, looking around, and shouting for their families.Right at the front of the crowd, standing just past the se

Cora The first-class cabin was wide, clean, and filled with the scent of expensive leather and polished wood. Despite the space, it was far from quiet. Ricky and Riley were bouncing in their seats, their energy radiating through the quiet row. They pressed their faces against the thick glass windows, leaving round patches of fog on the panes as they stared out at the bustling tarmac below."Maman, look at that giant plane next to us! Is ours bigger?" Ricky asked. He pointed a finger at the window, his dark curls shifting as he turned his head back toward me."Ours is way bigger, dummy," Riley said, shifting in her seat with all the confidence a five-year-old could manage. "And it goes faster because we are going across the whole ocean. Right, Maman?""Don't call your brother a dummy, Riley," I said, offering a small smile. "But yes, we have a long way to travel."They kept talking, their voices rising as they discussed leaving Paris behind. They were excited about seeing a new countr
