All Chapters of Too Late To Love Me: The Alpha’s Greatest Regret: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Despite everything weighing on my heart, I couldn't help smiling. I rested my hand over my stomach, before replying to him. "He says good morning to his grandpa too." A warm chuckle rumbled from his chest. "There we go. Already has excellent manners. Definitely a son of the Hills." The sound of his laughter filled the room as he throw his head back. The person who had counted down the days until my baby’s arrival more than anyone else… was him. Then he his smiles started fading. He looked at me, and I saw his expression shifting into more of a worrying one. I watched him lowering himself carefully beside me, resting both hands on the handle of his cane, his brows knitting together. "Is something wrong, Dad?" He looked at me for a long moment before speaking. "No, nothing. It’s…” he took a heavy breath. “It’s just that I've been told you've spent most of the week shut up in this room." Concern filled every word. "You hardly leave unless someone drags you out for meals."

With my heart finally at ease, I decided to stop by Dad's company, just like he'd suggested. If I went home now, I'd probably spend the rest of the day curled up in bed with my thoughts.Well… Maybe I'd play with the maids for a while before staying under my blanket for the rest of the day.The driver opened the car door for me, and a few minutes later, the familiar skyline gave way to a towering glass building.Hills Group.Owned by the Alpha of the Hills Pack—my father. There were plenty of successful companies across the city, but none came close to ours. Hills Group wasn't just a business; it was a symbol of the pack's strength and influence.The moment I stepped through the revolving doors, the lively hum of the lobby softened as many looked up one after another."Good afternoon, Miss Ava.""It's good to have you back.""Welcome back, Miss Ava."I offered each of them a polite smile, greeting them in return as I crossed the marble floor but out of the corner of my eye, I caught a

Dad? The entire room rose as one. Chairs scraped loudly against the stone floor as every elder bowed their head in respect. What’s he doing here? Confusion filled me, as I watched him walking in. "Please... sit. I only came to say a few words." His voice was calm, almost gentle but we all know his true nature. There’s nothing gentle about him. And for him to be here… One by one, everyone lowered themselves back into their seats. The hall remained so quiet that the sound of his footsteps echoed as he walked toward me. I immediately pushed my chair back, intending to stand and greet him. But before I could rise, his hand settled firmly on my shoulder. It wasn't rough. Yet I couldn't move. "An Alpha does not give up his seat or lower his head," he said quietly. His voice was meant for me, but I knew everyone in the hall heard every word. "Not for anyone." His hand remained on my shoulder for another second before he removed it. "And certainly not inside his own cou

I didn't do much today. Dad just showed me around, taking me through every department as if trying to tell them all ‘this is my successor.’ Most of the places were familiar, but so much had changed over the years. Many of those I used to work with had been promoted. Some had retired, and there were plenty of new faces I had never seen before. But none of that stayed on my mind. All I could see was that arrogant jerk from the elevator. That irritating smirk of his kept replaying in my head. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. "Asshole," I muttered under my breath. And immediately, everywhere went silence. I blinked and looking up to find everyone staring at me. Oh God. Did they just think I’m cursing at them? “Ah… haha!” I let out a nervous laugh and pointed toward the large photocopier beside the records room. “I was talking about that copier. I remember it used to jam every few minutes and always gave me a headache. Is it still the same?” They excha

I walked out of the house, leaving Mom standing there, her voice calling after me. But what else did she want me to do? She had refused to see me, and her father had treated me even worse than a stranger. My mind was in complete chaos as I remembered every bit of humiliation I had suffered today. The car door opened, and just as I was about to get in, I suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around me from behind. Her face pressed against my back, and I felt her tears soaking through my shirt. “I’m sorry,” she sobbed. God, how could I forget about her? I had been so lost in my thoughts that I had completely forgot she’s right behind me. I stood still for a moment, lifting my head toward the sky and closing my eyes as I let out a heavy breath. “I’m really sorry, Cayden. I truly didn’t mean to lie to you. It’s just that I was so scared of losing you.” She tightened her arms around me. “You have no idea how I felt when she brought you back in that condition. You only went there to expl
