All Chapters of A LITTLE TOO LATE, OR IS IT?: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

LIA'S POV What was worse than the hottest boy in school finding out that you have alopecia? It was probably realizing that your mom served as a maid in their home. My mom took care of my injuries that day, but the hole that opened up in my heart when I saw her moving around, working, cleaning and slaving away for the very boy I had a crush on, made me realise that any dream or hope of life granting me a chance to stare into those dreamy blue eyes forever was just that - a dream. Nevertheless, Elian and I became best of friends, mostly because he refused to stay away from me, and how could I refuse? When all he had to do was stare at me with those ocean blue eyes and smile. Elian became my unemployed protector. He picked me up from home to school everyday, drove me back home after school, and i helped him get his grades up, while he focused on football and learning how to fly an airplane with his father. I even got to meet his parents, his over fashionable young mother

LIA'S POV Elian rushed me to the hospital, to everyone's surprise, including his girlfriend, who angrily stayed at his side. "How is she?" I heard Elian ask the doctor as soon as she walked out of the door. "Does it have anything to do with her alopecia? Can it get worse? Could it be stress?" "Elian! Let the woman speak." I heard his girlfriend say, in a loud, controlled voice. "She is fine. She is just really stressed out, don't worry. She will be fine." The doctor replied, before walking away. I kept my gaze on the celine, as a million dreadful thoughts crossed my mind. I had not stopped squeezing the sheets since the doctor came to speak with me. Suddenly, the door opened and the fragrance I dreaded the most in that moment found its way into my nostrils. "Lia?" Elian called. "Hey," I smiled at him weakly. My body was tired and I had no more strength left in me to fight. "Don't ever scare me like that." He sat down beside me. "Did i really scare you?" I almost

LIA'S POV "Get her in the car!" I barely even had time to look up as the man quickly ordered his guards to help me into his car. I clawed the strange man's palm deeply with my nails, as my contractions came in concurrent waves, but instead of complaining, he quietly let me. I was delivered of my baby successfully, and when i was finally placed in a room, I requested that the doctor let me see him. "Are you sure? You know you need to rest." The doctor chided gently. "I'm sure," i replied and the doctor nodded. The door to my hospital room opened, even though I was weak, I was curious to see the asshole who had almost killed me. He was tall, dark brown hair, near symmetrically shaped face that had rough stubbles along his strong, defined jawlines, perfectly arched brows, a half angled nose that had probably been used to being broken and reset due to violence. From his posture, I could tell he was well ripped. His broad shoulders carried the suit he wore perfectly, an

Judas-Caine's POVI sat still in the waiting area, staring intensely at the floor, a sarcastic smirk crossed my lips.I even ignored the blood dripping to the floor, and the annoying sting i felt in my right palm."Boss, we need to get a nurse to check your wounds again." My bodyguard, Antonio muttered."Oh..." i stared at my hand, as if oblivious to its presence."Sure." I nodded.It took a short amount of time, but a tiny thing of a nurse came and worked on the injury again."This should hold for some time," she smiled at me, making sure to flash her seductive boobs at me.I was never the simping type, but i had a thing for boobs, yet, over the last couple of months, it did not matter what size they came in, i was not interested.She held my hand a little longer than necessary, and so, i pulled it away. I didn't like being touched."Do you want me to give you a shhh-shot of painkillers?" She eyed me, acting shy but obviously being boldly flirtatious."No. I enjoy the pain -- it rem

LIA'S POV "Here, this should be everything you need. I'll take turns checking the baby. The rent already expired, so, if you need anything, anything at all, remember, you have a home with us." Grace said to me, as she helped me pack my bags. It was finally discharge day, Mr. Judas-Caine had been visiting from time to time, but most times, he'd just sit at the waiting area for forty minutes and then leave without saying a word to me. He seemed like such an odd guy. "Hey, are you alright?" Grace asked, when she noticed i was staring too hard into space. I shook my head and nodded. "Yeah, i was just thinking about ---" A knock on the door cut me short. Grace opened the door and a young woman, average height, light skinned, porcelain almost, asian looking, and very beautiful, walked into the room. She was dressed in a classic pair of blue jeans, with a striped lurex sweater, and double breasted cream blazer. She looked gorgeous. "Hi, my name is Amika and i am Mr. Judas-Caine's a
