  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr CEO.   042.

    Thea's POV I hurried into Myles's room in the VIP wing. At the reception desk, I had identified myself as his girlfriend. The nurse had checked his visitor permissions before directing me to his room. I was relieved I hadn't been turned away. He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. An IV cannula was secured to the back of his hand, with clear tubing running to a bag of fluids beside the bed. His head was heavily bandaged. He looked peacefully asleep. “Myles.” I pulled a chair beside his bed and sat down. My heart constricted as I watched him. Our journey had never been without pain. Time and time again, we had found our way back to each other, only to let our fears and mistakes pull us apart again. I brushed a few strands of hair away from his face. I'd never met a more handsome man in my life. Ever since I had met him, my heart had never fluttere

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr CEO.   041

    Thea's POV "That is crazy!" I shot up from the chair, staring at the screen in disbelief. "If Augusta was the twin who'd vanished, how did she continue living with her family and eventually attend a prestigious university?" My brain was struggling to make sense of the information. Dan leaned back in his seat. "There's a possibility the news report got the names wrong. Maybe Sonia was the twin who disappeared." "Or maybe Augusta is Sonia," I said without thinking. Shit. Did that even make sense? Dan stared at me in confusion. "What do you mean?" I swallowed, trying to arrange my thoughts. "Could it be that Augusta was the twin who disappeared, but Sonia took her name and became Augusta?" Dan's mouth fell open. "What a theory! Are you suggesting Sonia stole her sister's identity?" "But why would she do that?" I asked. "And why would their parents allow it? Let's find out what actually happened." I couldn't stop pacing. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became

  • 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

    Thea’s POVRosehill Cemetery, Chicago.The cemetery was quiet except for the occasional howl of the wind moving through the nearby trees.Fallen leaves covered the ground, and the cold November air carried the smell of wet earth. Some distance away, two visitors moved between rows of headstones.I stopped in front of one;Steven D. 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
