บททั้งหมดของ SORRY MR. CROWNELL YOU'RE TOO LATE : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

LILY “My…big b-brothers?” I repeated in a daze. Was this some kind of prank?“We've been searching for you for the past twenty years. We… we thought we would never find you.” The crack in his voice made my heart skip a beat. A memory flashed in my head and my grip on the phone tightened.“You've grown so big, princess. Last time I saw you, you were just four, whining that your teddy bear was taller than you,” another voice came on. My eyes watered. That's right. I was taken from my family when I was four. The next time I opened my eyes, I could barely remember anything other than the fact that my name was Lily and the two creepy strangers beside me were not my parents. I shook my head, refusing to let my mind go back to that hell. My day was already bad enough. “I know you have your doubts but we are ready to provide you with all the proof you need. Just listen to us, okay?” Another begged. How many were they? I keep hearing different voices, all with the same emotions. As shady

LILYI managed to gather all my properties in two boxes. All I owned were just clothes and the pieces of jewelry Chaise’s grandmother gifted me.It was all because of her I had enough money to rent a studio apartment at the other side of the city. I wanted to give Chaise enough space to enjoy his love life. Normally, most women would trash whatever their ex-husbands gave them while leaving but in my pathetic case, there was really nothing. Chaise hated me so there was no reason for him to give me anything. Not money. Not flowers. Not even clothes. Hell, we didn’t even have a single photo of us in the house. The day I had someone put up our wedding picture, he took it down the second he saw it. I could still remember the cruel words he said to me. “Isn't it enough that you have our photos on every blog out there? Do I have to see you back-stabbing face every time I step into my house as well? Haven't you ruined my life enough?” Even up till now, the disdain in those words haunted

ChaiseI had just returned from a long day at work with a terrible migraine. My head felt like it was going to split in two and my shoulders were stiff from all the surgeries I carried out today. I tossed my jacket casually, flopping on the couch to catch my breath for a second. With my eyes shut, I stretched my hand out of habit, expecting a glass of freshly squeezed juice, like every other night. My lips pressed tightly when nothing came. My eyes fluttered open, darting to my empty hand. Then it drifted to my jacket still lying on the floor. Usually, Lily would be waiting downstairs for me to take my jacket the minute I stepped in. I always tossed it at her because I didn’t want her using it as an excuse to get close. After putting away my jacket, she would give me a glass of cold freshly squeezed juice. They always helped with my migraines and sometimes I wondered if she secretly put painkillers in them, but again, I didn’t want her to get too comfortable in a life she stole fro

LilyCall it favouritism or whatever but Dr Reed arranged for an advance to be paid into my account. Granted it was paid training but I assumed I would be paid only after the training was completed as stipulated in the contract. I couldn’t complain because it meant I could change my wardrobe and furnish my little apartment. I got so carried away with the whole hospital tour yesterday that I forgot I scheduled a meeting with my brothers. I felt really bad about rescheduling so I decided to pick out an apology gift for them in the course of shopping. Kristy’s Closet was my go-to store for all kinds of clothes. It wasn't a high end luxury brand or anything but her designs were one of a kind. I was going rack to rack, picking out corporate wear for work when a familiar voice sounded behind me.“Lily! Fancy seeing you here!” Rachelle exclaimed with a sugary smile. My stomach dropped. Of all the times to bump into her, it just had to be here. “Hi,” I said stiffly and turned to leave but

LilyWhen the bodyguard started moving, I thought that this might finally be my chance to see them but Rachelle suddenly burst out crying, drawing their attention. I barely caught a glimpse of their face before their backs were turned to me. The two men crouched over her, trying to comfort her as she sobbed. “i don’t really care about what anyone has to say about me. I don’t even care about this stupid store full of bullies but I won’t take anyone talking down on my brothers. Hit me all you want but leave my big brothers out of it! They are the most precious people in my life and I won’t take anyone talking down on them!”I rolled my eyes at the dramatic words. She should have gone for theatre acts instead, I'm sure she would have won many oscars. “Don’t cry, Rachel,” the blond said, reaching gently for her teary face. I could help but notice the Patek Philippe on his wrist. How rich were these people? “You don’t have to fight or cry over us. These people are not worth your tears.”
