Thea's POV

I'd literally hugged Alonzo when he gave me the gift. Why wouldn't I? They were expensive collections from Dior, something I'd always wanted but had never had the time to travel for.

I had no idea how he'd managed to get it and he remained mysteriously tight-lipped about the details. I wasn't complaining, though. I'd spent hours admiring the latest collections from one of the world's most prestigious fashion houses.

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr CEO.   040. Augusta is a twin?!

    Thea's POVThe room Maxwell prepared for me looked like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Several monitors covered an entire wall. Computers lined the desks, their screens displaying maps, photographs, and streams of information I couldn't begin to understand. I adjusted the headset over my ears and settled into the chair beside Dan, the cybersecurity expert my mentor had given to assist me. I handed him the flash drive."Start with this video. I want to know if it's real."Dan inserted the drive into his computer. "Let me examine it."I watched as he opened the file, and ran the footage through several forensic analysis tools. I barely understood what I was looking at. Finally, he leaned back."The video itself is genuine. It appears to have been recorded on a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra."It was real

Brown.1952–2017.Forever in our hearts.I gazed at it, and in that moment, I was twenty-two again.That day, I received a call telling me my father was in ill the hospital.I had been with Myles then.

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr CEO.   038. Drunken Accident.

    Myles' POVI had done everything I could to win Thea back, only for us to separate days later.It didn't feel real. How could it, when I'd only just begun to believe that we might have a future together again?But the pain in my chest was real. So was the emptiness in my heart. Perhaps I should have shown her the scar.I had carved her name into my stomach to keep myself conscious while Celeste tried to take advantage of me. But what would it have changed?I'd already sacrificed so much trying to make things right between us.How could our relationship work if she couldn't believe me when the worst happened?I didn't know where to go or what to do. The thought of returning to my empty apartment made my chest tighten, so I kept driving until I found myself outside a club.I parked my car an

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr CEO.   037. Aftermath.

    Thea's POVWas my decision wrong?I paced around my bedroom, running my fingers through my hair as I replayed everything that had happened by the lake.I couldn't stay with Myles as though nothing had happened. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that damn video. The images kept coming back, making my stomach twist with nausea.But was I wrong for wanting to know the truth?I had asked him what happened, and he'd told me his side of the story. He'd insisted that nothing happened between him and Celeste, yet I'd been unable to believe him completely.Did that mean I didn't trust him?I stopped pacing and pressed my palms against my temples.“God, what am I supposed to do?”His face flashed through my mind, especially the look in his eyes when I'd told him I was sorry. He'd looked so hurt, as though my decision had wounded him more deepl

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr CEO.   036. Trust.

    Myles' POVThea was waiting for me in her car. I was late. “Thanks for waiting, baby.” I glanced at my watch as I settled into my seat.“Don't baby me,” she said coldly.I looked up, surprised by her tone. Why was she acting like that?Before I could ask, she handed me a laptop with a flash drive plugged into it.“Watch it.”I frowned, looking from the laptop to her face. She wasn't smiling, and there was something in her expression that made my stomach tighten.I opened the video.Within seconds, my blood ran cold.It was the video Celeste had recorded that day she drugged me.What I'd feared most had finally happened.Didn't David delete this video as I'd instructed him to? How was I supposed to explain this? I looked at her, hoping to explain truthfully. “Thea—”“Wait.” She raised her hand

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr CEO.   035. Myles... and Celeste.

    Thea’s POVI plugged the flash drive into my computer.A video opened on the screen, and I leaned closer, wondering what Celeste thought was so important that she had to bring it to me herself.Then I saw the people on the screen.Myles... and Celeste.My eyes widened as the reality of what I was watching sank in. It was an intimate video. Celeste laid naked beside Myles on the couch blocking whatever they were doing. I saw his arm around her waist. My vision blurred. Bile rose in my throat, and I slammed the laptop shut. I rushed into the bathroom.I barely made it to the toilet before I threw up. My stomach twisted painfully, and I retched again, unable to stop.I couldn't believe what I'd just seen. The man I'd given my heart to... Oh God.My legs trembled beneath me. Too weak to stand, I slid down against the bathroom wall, breat
