Too Late for Love, Mr. CEO Eplogue
***Vivienne's POV*** Four months later, the house felt different in a quiet and steady way, like everything had slowly found its place again. I moved carefully down the stairs, one hand resting on the rail, the other supporting my large belly as I took each step slowly. My body felt heavier now, my movements slower, but there was a calmness in me that had not been there before. Halfway down the stairs, my phone rang. I paused, adjusting my hold before picking it up. “Hello” I called. “Vivienne.” I froze for a second. “Julian?” I said, surprised. A soft laugh came from the other end. “Yes. I’m back.” I blinked, leaning slightly against the rail. “Back… in the country?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied. “I just arrived. I wanted to see you… if that’s okay.” I hesitated for a moment, then nodded "Come to the villa.” come to the villa. There was a small pause before he answered. “I’ll be there soon.” When I ended the call, I s

***Delilah's POV***The cell felt cold in a way that went deeper than the walls, a kind of cold that settled inside my chest and refused to leave. I sat quietly on the narrow bench, my back pressed against the wall, my hands tightly locked together in my lap as I tried to keep myself steady. For a long time, I had learned how to hold myself together, how to stay strong no matter where I was, even in a place like this. I carried myself like I was still someone important, like I had not lost everything, because that was the only way I knew how to survive.The new inmate had been watching me for a while, her eyes filled with something sharp and unfriendly, and when she finally spoke, her voice carried a mocking tone that made the air around me feel heavier. She told me I acted like I was better than everyone else, like I did not belong in that cell, and I said nothing at first because I refused to give her the satisfaction of a response. But then she stepped closer

***Vivienne's POV***Two weeks later, Alexander was ready to bedischarged. I stood beside him as the nurse spoke, her voice calm as she explained what he should do and what he should avoid. I listened, but not fully, My eyes stayed on Alexander. Every small movement he made, every shift in his body, I noticed it all.When he stood up, I moved closer without thinking. My hand hovered near his arm, ready to hold him if he lost balance.“I’m fine,” he said.I didn’t answer. I only looked at him, then reached up and adjusted his collar quietly, like that would somehow keep him steady.Grace stayed close to me, her small hand wrapped tightly in mine as we walked out of the hospital together.Step by step.I matched his pace, slow and careful.The ride to the Ashford manor was quiet, he had said he wanted to be with Nana for a while, so I agreed. I sat beside him, my hand resting over my stomach without even realizing it. Grace leaned against me, half

***Writer's POV*****Two Weeks Later**The courtroom was quiet in a heavy way, the kind of silence that pressed down on everyone inside it. No one spoke as the judge prepared to give the final decision. The air felt tense, filled with the weight of everything that had happened, everything that had been revealed. The truth had come out piece by piece, and now there was nothing left to hide.Sebastian stood in his place, his face calm, almost empty. He did not struggle, he did not speak, and he did not look at anyone for long. It was as if he had already accepted what was coming, or perhaps he simply did not care. His hands rested still, his posture straight, his eyes distant.Olivia stood not far from him, but she was not the same. There was fear in her eyes now, fear that she could not hide. She shifted slightly where she stood, her hands tense, her breathing uneven. Unlike Sebastian, she looked like someone who understood the weight of what was about to happ

***Sebastian's Pov Cont***I stayed seated beside Alexander, my eyes resting on him, my face calm like nothing had happened. The room slowly settled again, but I knew I could not let too many people stay around. Too many eyes meant too many chances for something to go wrong.After a while, I stood up and turned toward the others in the room.“Nana,” I said gently, walking closer to her. “You need to rest. You’ve been here for too long.”She didn’t respond at first, Her eyes looked tired, distant, like she was somewhere else entirely. I lowered my voice a little more. “Bella would want you to take care of yourself.”That made her blink slowly.I shifted my gaze to Lydia. “You should go too. There’s nothing more you can do here right now.”Then I looked at my son and placed a hand lightly on his shoulder. “Come. I’ll take you both home.”There was hesitation, but not much strength left to resist. One by one, they agreed. Nana rose slowly, her movements heavy.
Too Late for Love, Mr. CEO Chapter 168
***Writer's POV***The hospital room carried a heavy stillness that seemed to press down on everyone who stepped inside it. The white walls, the faint smell of antiseptic, and the quiet blinking of the machines made everything feel cold and distant, as though life itself had slowed within that space. Alexander lay on the bed without movement, his strong presence now reduced to a fragile silence that no one was prepared for. The steady rhythm of the monitor was the only sound that gave them hope, a soft reminder that he was still alive, still holding on somewhere deep beyond the reach of their voices.Vivienne had not left his side since the moment he was brought in. She sat close to him, her chair pulled so near that her arm rested along the edge of the bed. Her fingers remained wrapped around his hand, holding it gently but firmly, as though she feared he might disappear if she let go even for a second. Her eyes were tired and red, her face pale from hours of crying
