All Chapters of Too Late for Forgiveness: Chapter 411 - Chapter 420

But if Gary was dead set on getting rich fast, his only option was something illegal. Gary hesitated for a second. Ever since the last kidnapping fiasco, things had been under heavy scrutiny. He had already told his men to lie low. Jumping back into the game now would be a risky move. But that hesitation didn't last long, for fortune favored the bold. And if he waited any longer, the board would eat him alive.…Back in Nocturna, Wilson leaned casually against the stable fence, one hand in his pocket, the other holding his phone.Trevor's voice crackled through the line.Wilson let out a cold chuckle. "You kept poking Gary. Of course he's losing it.""That's the point. If he doesn't panic, how will he slip up?" Trevor replied."This is your mess. I'm staying out of the family drama. But when it's time to drag him in, I'll help you tighten the net."Wilson's gaze drifted across the paddock and softened the instant it landed on a figure in white. He quickly added, "Anyway, tal

"You."Serena blinked, confused. However, before she could ask anything, Wilson pulled her straight back into the heat of it all.They went at it for over an hour until the bathwater had long gone cold. Only then did Wilson lift her out and carry her to the bed. Even then, he didn't let her go. Midway through, her phone started ringing unexpectedly. As she reached to see who it was, Wilson intercepted her, smoothly answering the call and placing the phone to her ear.She shot him a glare. This was the worst possible timing for a call. He was doing this on purpose, she was sure of it.Willow's voice came through the speaker. "Serena, Arthur and I picked a wedding date. Will you be my bridesmaid?""That soon?" Serena asked, trying to sound completely out of breath. "We already registered. Might as well hold the ceremony before my dad realizes what hit him. I'm also hoping to squeeze a little something out of him while he's still in a daze.""I see…" Serena murmured.Willow pau

Joseph got drunk fast. One minute he was hugging his beer bottle and mumbling nonsense, the next he was belting out a song like he was auditioning for a musical.Lauren hadn't expected his tolerance to be this tragic. Worried he'd start doing something embarrassing in public next, she flagged down a cab and hauled him home.His place was only a few blocks away—one of those fancy, oversized apartments the Collinsworths had gifted him when he started his company. It was sleek, modern, and over 1,400 square feet.Capitalist scum, Lauren thought as she dragged him in like a sack of flour. She'd been here before, so she knew the address. She used his fingerprint to unlock the door and shoved him onto the couch."Why are you so heavy?" she groaned. "You don't look heavy.""Of course I'm heavy. I work out. It's all muscle," he mumbled from the couch.Lauren turned around. "You're sober?""Sober? I'm just stating the facts. I'm not fat, I'm ripped," Joseph said."Sure you are," she sai

"Think about it. Joseph is good-looking, comes from a decent family, and he's actually not a bad person. I grew up with him. I know him pretty well. Sure, he can be unreliable sometimes, but deep down, he's kind and responsible," Serena said, laying it all out.Lauren took a breath and tried to calm herself. Serena's words made sense. "But I've always seen him as a friend. I never thought he'd like me," she muttered.Serena couldn't help laughing. She was probably the only one who didn't see it coming. Anyone could tell just from the way Joseph looked at her. "You're amazing. Of course, he likes you. But don't overthink it. If you don't feel the same, just tell him so.""Oh, I've turned down plenty of guys before. But this one really got to me. I'm still kinda freaked out," Lauren said, rubbing her face. "Ugh, I can't get distracted by boy problems!""Then stop thinking about it and go take a shower. Sleep it off," Serena suggested.At that, Lauren's eyes lit up. "Rina, we haven't

Serena hesitated for a second, the words caught in her throat.On stage, the lead singer crooked a finger at her, beckoning.Lauren nudged her excitedly. "Look at him! Acting like a peacock showing off. Come on, Rina, shout something—for your bestie's sake!"Serena had no way out. She gave in and yelled, "You're so hot!" Her face instantly turned red.But once the first shout was out, the second wasn't so hard. Emboldened by alcohol, she waved her hands and shouted louder, "You're so hot! Do it again!"The guys on stage turned up the heat. Serena got caught in the moment, jumping and cheering—until she suddenly noticed the crowd noise had dimmed. Confused, she was about to look around when a hand slid around her waist from behind.A deep, magnetic voice whispered in her ear. "Well, well. This pretty girl looks an awful lot like my girlfriend—the one who's supposed to be at home, in bed, sleeping."Her whole body froze. The alcohol-fueled buzz vanished in an instant. No way. Th
