All Chapters of Too Late To Want Me Back : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Elena arranged the plates on the dining table and checked the time again.9:32 PM.Her husband was still not home.She looked at the food she had spent hours preparing and forced herself to smile. Today was their third wedding anniversary. Adrian had forgotten the last two, but she still hoped this year would be different.She adjusted the candles and picked up her phone to check if she had gotten a response from Adrian. No response still. The dinner was already getting cold.A few minutes later, she heard the front door open downstairs. She heaved a sigh of relief immediately.“Adrian?” she called softly as she walked toward the staircase.Then she stopped.She heard laughter.A woman’s laughter.“Elena is probably sleeping already,” Vanessa said.Elena froze.“That’s good,” Adrian replied carelessly. “I’m tired of explaining myself to her.”Vanessa laughed again. “Then divorce her.”“It’s not that simple.”“Why? You don’t even love her.”There was silence for two seconds before Adri

Elena sat on the edge of the large bed and looked around the room.Everything felt unfamiliar.The room was bigger than the entire apartment she had lived in before marrying Adrian. The furniture was expensive, the walls were painted in soft colors, and fresh flowers sat on a table near the window.Yet none of it made her feel comfortable.This wasn't her home.A few hours ago, she had been preparing an anniversary dinner for her husband.Now she was living in another man's house.The thought alone made her chest ache.A maid knocked gently before entering."Miss Elena, dinner is ready."Elena forced a smile and thanked her.The woman looked kind, but Elena wasn't hungry.The moment the maid left, Elena reached for her phone.No messages.No missed calls.Nothing from Adrian.She stared at the screen for several seconds.Not even a single text asking if she arrived safely.Three years together, and he let her walk away without looking back.For the first time that night, Elena allowed

For the rest of the day, Elena couldn't stop thinking about the phone call.The Vale family.A part of her wanted to ignore everything and continue living as Elena Sterling.But another part knew that life no longer existed.Adrian had made sure of that.She was sitting in the library when a sudden wave of dizziness hit her.The room spun slightly.Elena grabbed the edge of the table and closed her eyes.This was the third time it had happened that day.First the nausea.Then the dizziness.Now the headache.Something wasn't right.A knock sounded on the door.Before she could answer, Damian walked in.His eyes immediately narrowed."You look pale.""I'm fine.""You said that yesterday."Elena tried standing, but another wave of dizziness forced her back into her seat.Damian knew something was wrong. Five minutes later, she found herself sitting inside a private hospital owned by Damian's company."I don't need a doctor," she complained.The doctor smiled politely. "Let's make sure

Elena returned to Damian's mansion later that evening.Her head was full of questions.The pregnancy.The test Adrian found.The phone call from the Vale family.Everything was becoming complicated.As soon as she entered her room, she locked the door and sat on the bed.For years, she had dreamed of having a family with Adrian.She had imagined telling him she was pregnant.She had imagined his happiness.His excitement.Now she wasn't even sure he deserved to know.A soft knock sounded on the door."Come in."Damian stepped inside.He looked like he had just returned from work.His tie was loosened, and his sleeves were rolled up.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then Damian placed a small paper bag on the table."What's that?" Elena asked."Medicine."She frowned."I'm not sick.""The doctor said you've barely been eating."Elena stared at the bag.Nobody had paid attention to things like that in a very long time.Not even Adrian.Especially not Adrian."Thank you," she said qu

Elena stayed in the library after Damian left.The photograph was still clutched tightly in her hands.His reaction had told her everything.The picture mattered.Their past mattered.And no matter how hard Damian tried to hide it, she knew there was still something between them.But what exactly had happened a year ago?Why had he suddenly disappeared from her life?Why did he act as though he hated her one moment and cared about her the next?The questions refused to leave her mind.With a sigh, she carefully returned the photograph to the book where she found it.There was no point searching for answers tonight.Not when Damian clearly wasn't ready to give them.The next morning, Elena woke earlier than usual.Unable to sleep, she decided to take a walk around the mansion grounds.The air was cool and fresh.For the first time in days, she felt calm.She followed a stone pathway lined with flowers until she reached the front gate.Just as she was about to turn back, a sleek black c
