  • Too Late To Want Me   17. Misfortune

    “I hate you, Declan... I hate you,” Sarah repeated several times, her consciousness still hazy and far from fully restored.The people keeping watch over Sarah could do nothing but anxiously hope that the string of misfortunes would finally come to an end. Even in her half-conscious state, Sarah could faintly hear the heated argument taking place around her. Her mind had yet to fully recover after the procedure performed by the doctor several hours earlier, but somehow, her ears remained sensitive enough to catch every voice in the room.There was Mia’s agitated voice, the shrill voice of the woman Sarah believed to be Mrs. Sastro, and another deep male voice she did not recognize.“Is Sarah’s family on their way?” Mrs. Kyle asked, though Sarah could not tell whom she was addressing.“Yes, Ma’am. Her two brothers and her fat

  • Too Late To Want Me   16. Holding On

    Declan, dressed in a light blue suit paired with khaki trousers, looked cheerful as he made his way past several passengers waiting at the baggage claim area. With a faint smile, he pulled out his phone and searched for a name in his contacts.“Where are you?” he asked warmly the moment he heard the soft voice on the other end.“On my way. I just got back from Oceanic.”“Meeting?”“Just submitting the revised budget they sent back yesterday. Why?”“Are you going back to the office afterward?”“No. It’s already this late, anyway.” Natalie glanced at the watch around her left wrist. “Why?”“I’m back. Let’s meet. I brought souvenirs for you and Vino.”Ever since his meeting with Gavleea Constructions that morning had ended, Declan had

  • Too Late To Want Me   15. A Painful Sight

    Sarah had no tears left to cry over Declan. A day after Declan left for LA, she decided to return to her own house. She didn't want his parents to notice how heartbroken she was. More importantly, she didn't want her in-laws to notice the physical changes that were becoming harder and harder to hide because of her pregnancy."Wow, you only spent one night without Declan and you're already this sad," her mother in law had teased her the previous day after seeing her swollen eyes."You're imagining things, Mom," Sarah had replied, forcing a smile."Don't try to hide it. You've clearly been crying. You must be upset because he left town.""No, Mom. I'm used to Declan traveling for work." Sarah lowered her voice. "Mom, I'm going back to our house later, okay? It's probably a mess after Declan handled everything by himself.""Are you ti

  • Too Late To Want Me   14. Suddenly Speechless

    Sarah quickly locked the bathroom door. She certainly didn't want Mia barging in whenever she pleased. She needed to settle the uneasiness in her heart on her own. She took out the pregnancy tests she had bought earlier, desperate to put an end to the anxiety that had suddenly taken hold of her that morning. Sarah glanced at herself in the mirror, gathering her courage once more. After opening the first test and reading the instructions, she immediately took it.Anxious and hopeful at the same time, the beautiful woman sat on the toilet for nearly twenty minutes. She completely ignored Mia's shouting and pounding on the door. Let her best friend wonder. Sarah needed to know the truth first. She finally stood restlessly in front of the sink and tied her long hair into a high ponytail."Has it been twenty minutes?"She murmured before leaning over the sink. She closed her eyes for a moment, hoping the result would b

    “You’re all dressed up. Where are you off to, Sarah?” Norah asked when she saw Sarah looking elegant in a long skirt and a short-sleeved blouse patterned with monstera leaves.Norah had completely recovered. She had even visited her flower shop several times just to check on the plant stock or pick a few stems of roses and tuberose to brighten up her living room.“I told you last night that I wanted to go back to the salon, Mom. Poor Mia’s been completely overwhelmed since I’ve been away.”“Oh… right.” Norah nodded before chuckling. “I completely forgot. You know, I’m getting old.” She joined Sarah at the dining table, taking the seat beside her. “Are you going with Declan?”Sarah suddenly choked at the question. She glanced toward the staircase, but there was still no sign of Declan coming down to join them for breakfast. During the two weeks they had stayed at Dec

After the neighbors on either side of the house had stopped by that morning, it was Jack’s turn in the afternoo
