All Chapters of He Loved Her Too Late: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The room went dead silent.Margo froze, her hand still hovering by the door. Her heart pounded as she waited for his answer.Finally, Huxton spoke."Don't be ridiculous. I only see her as a sister.""A sister? Dude, seriously? She gave you three years of her life, and she's just a sister?"Don't tell me you're still stuck on Jayla. She bailed the second you got hurt. Didn't even check on you. Now you're back on your feet, and suddenly she's back too? Come on, man. Anyone but her."Huxton stayed quiet.Outside the door, Margo's heart twisted.His silence said it all.She'd spent three years thinking he'd eventually love her back. Turns out, his heart still belonged to the girl who'd ditched him.Three years ago, Huxton had been Auremont City's ultimate golden boy.Graduate of a top school. Heir to Dunne Corp. Great at skiing and horseback riding. And ridiculously good-looking on top of it.Margo? She was just a broke college student the Dunne family sponsored.She first saw

That night, Huxton came home looking scary pale.Margo was getting water in the kitchen. She turned at the sound of the door and nearly dropped the glass."You didn't take your meds?""It got too bad. I had to get my stomach pumped."Huxton sank onto the couch, his hair damp with cold sweat.Margo's hand jerked, spilling hot water over it. Her skin instantly turned red.'Does he really love Jayla that much? Enough to eat her food even if it lands him in the hospital?'Margo brought him water, crouched beside him, and gently rubbed his stomach.After a few sips, Huxton finally relaxed. His brow smoothed out, and soon he fell asleep against her shoulder.Just like always.But this time, Margo didn't stare at him like she used to.She carefully laid him on the couch, pulled a blanket over him, and went upstairs without looking back.***The next morning, Huxton was already in the living room, dressed in a sharp suit."Why's so much stuff gone?" He frowned, looking around.M

After the auction, the crowd slowly cleared out.While Huxton got stuck making small talk, Jayla walked over to Margo."Margo, you get it now, right?" Jayla lowered her voice, a smug smile on her lips. "I'm the one Huxton loves. Keep hanging around, and he'll only get even more tired of you."Margo looked at her calmly."You'll get what you want."Jayla frowned. "What does that mean?"Margo didn't answer. She turned to leave."Ah!"A scream came from behind her.Margo turned around just in time to see Jayla tumble down the stairs."Margo!"Huxton's furious shout echoed through the room.He rushed over and shoved Margo aside so hard she slammed into the wall."What did Jayla ever do to you?" His stare turned ice-cold. "If you're mad I didn't protect you before, blame me. Why go after her?"Margo leaned against the wall, her voice steady."I didn't push her.""Huxton..." Jayla weakly grabbed his sleeve. "I just slipped. It wasn't Ms. Myer's fault...""You don't have to c

After that, Margo barely left her room.Then one night at dinner, Jayla suddenly grabbed her stomach.Her face went ghost-white before she collapsed into Huxton's arms."What's wrong?" Huxton panicked and called the family doctor.After checking her, the doctor turned serious."She's been poisoned."The whole mansion went into chaos.The staff stood off to the side, nervous, while the butler questioned everyone about dinner."I-I saw something..." a young maid stammered. "I saw Ms. Myer put something in the soup..."Huxton's eyes went ice-cold.He stormed over and grabbed Margo's wrist, squeezing so hard her bones ached."You tried to poison Jayla over that locket? Margo, when did you become this kind of person?"Margo looked straight at him."I didn't do it.""Still denying it?" Huxton turned to the staff. "Bring me the rest of the soup."Margo's eyes widened."What are you doing?""Teaching you a lesson." Huxton grabbed her chin, his voice cold. "Maybe then you'll le

"She left? Where'd she go?"Tyler froze, his worry turning to shock.The others looked just as stunned.None of them had ever imagined Margo actually leaving.They'd watched Huxton hit one low after another after the accident. They'd watched people drift in and out of his life.Even they couldn't handle being around him all the time when his moods got bad.But Margo stayed.From beginning to end, she was the one person who never left.She'd been there at his absolute worst, giving him more patience than anyone else. No matter how often he yelled at or hit her, she stayed.'So why would she suddenly...'Huxton's phone rang.He answered almost instantly."Margo? Where are—"Jayla's voice came through instead."Huxton, I twisted my ankle. Can you take me to the hospital?"Normally, Huxton would've gone straight to her.But Margo leaving had thrown him so badly, he turned Jayla down without thinking."I'm busy. Ask someone else."Even Tyler and the others stared at him.
