Too Late By Colleen Hoover Novels & Stories

Always. The wind died down. And just like that, the voice faded away. The End.

Timothy Yeager is the sole successor of Caelumis, the most powerful force of Efral. He has billions of dollars in inheritance and countless subordinates! On this day, he returns to civilization with the marriage contracts his mentor has set for him so he can keep his promise and protect his fiancées. However, as soon as he gets home, most of his fiancées call off their engagements to him. "Do you think you're worthy of marrying someone from the Barton family when you're so useless?" "How can the daughter of the Lynde family marry a peasant like you? It's a humiliation to her!" "Today, we're gathered here to annul the marriage contracts with a loser like you!" "You're dreaming if you thi

"You're only hurt partly because your mother and I spoiled her. Will you… forgive us?" My mother was looking at me, her eyes bright with anticipation. I hung my head low. "Remember that card you gave me, Mother? If I had it… If I had it sooner, none of this would've happened. What I'm trying to say is… It's too late to ask for forgiveness." They were trying to show me love, but it came far too late. I was well past that. I could live without that. "Ant, I'm tired."

Yet again and again, she still went out of her way to stay late and work overtime with him. Caleb also slowly started to like James. James would always let Caleb binge on the junk food I forbade him to eat. When I urged Caleb to finish his homework, James would always secretly take him out to play. It went on until the day I heard Caleb say he didn't like me and wanted James to be his father. Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open. Daisy walked to my bedside, the hickeys on her neck still clearly visible. "Don't take the online comments to heart. I'll contact someone to help resolve them."

“Kane!” Serena interrupted him just in time. Kane turned to look at her, a flicker of confusion on his face. “What’s wrong?” he asked, frowning slightly. Noticing his hesitation, Serena’s body stiffened, but she quickly forced a smile and changed the subject. “Today is the Full Moon Day. If Lucas returns too late, Kate will get worried.” “He only asked for a feather. Just give it to him—there’s no need for him to stay any longer.”

He was given two choices—death and a life worse than death; he chose the former. Hazel and the others' faces turned even paler upon that realization. Regret alone wasn't the worst part of the toxic concoction of it all. The worst part was that they had finally woken up to reality, but it was too late. They wanted to make things right, but the person they needed to make it up to wasn't there anymore. That was what truly hurt. "Go… Hurry… If you wait any longer, it'll be too late!" Suddenly, urgent shouts came from outside the villa, along with the rumble of moving trucks passing by.

I couldn't wait to see the look on the others faces when they got to see that I wasn't that fragile, naive girl who packed her bags in the middle of the night to escape across the Atlantic. That I am Coco Woods now. A top global bestseller, a powerful force, and that I had successfully forced the great Leon Halefield to dismantle his own family's pride just to get my signature on a piece of paper.

When I'm eight, my younger sister, Rachel Gaffney, unplugs the battery powering my artificial heart so she can charge her phone. By the time Mom and Dad find me, my skin has turned blue, and I'm barely breathing. The doctors save my life, but I'm left with serious health problems that never go away. After that, Rachel might as well be invisible to Mom and Dad. They stop smiling at her and barely speak to her. All their time and attention go to me instead. Dad takes a job overseas just to pay for the monthly maintenance on my artificial heart, while Mom quits her job to stay by my side around the clock. She even fasts one day a week, praying that I'll be given more time. I may never be he

Eight years after I left the country, I'm offered a fortune to come back. After a research symposium, I run into my ex-boyfriend, Ethan Grimsley. He proposes to me and asks me to give him another chance. My former colleagues from the research institute immediately start cheering, all of them waiting for me to burst into tears and say yes. After all, they remember how crazy I used to be about Ethan. Back then, there was nothing I wouldn't have done for him. Apparently, they've forgotten what happened eight years ago. At a project showcase, I proposed to Ethan in front of everyone, only for him to turn me down without a hint of emotion. And that wasn't all. To help Michelle Lindberg, some

"Tomorrow, you make a decision. You either stay with me, or you let me go. No more indecision, Remus. I can't live like this anymore." She walked out. I let her go, because for once, letting go was the only honest thing left I had to offer her. The door clicked shut behind her, and the sound of it felt final in a way the door had never felt before, all the years we'd spent in this house condensed into one small mechanical click. *** I stood there a long time after the door closed, staring at nothing at all. Selene had given me an ultimatum, and I had no answer ready. Stay with her and keep living inside a lie neither of us believed anymore? Or let her go and finally admit I'd wasted five yea
