When Love Come Late Novels & Stories

On the day before New Year's Eve, Alora Sheffield wants me to bring her a morning-after pill. Her red lips curve ever so slightly as she takes in my snow-dampened clothes. "What reward would you like for being so obedient?" I ignore her question and hand her the emergency contraceptive. "Here's the morning-after pill you wanted." As Alora takes the box, she reaches under my shirt and runs her hand over my abs. "We may as well get it on just this once, since I'm taking the pill anyway." I gape at her, but a second later, she bursts out laughing. "You should see the look on your face. “I’ve arranged a marriage for you. I raised you, so it’s time you repaid me. “You’ll do as I ask,

After I took another knife for him and lost another pregnancy, Leander Croft finally agreed to marry me. On the day of the wedding, the bridal car never arrived. I only received a phone call from kidnappers who demanded my life in exchange for his. His voice crackled through the line, broken and faint. "Mila, just live. Do not come for me..." A kidnapper cut him off in the next second. "Mila Carver, do you want him alive? Get the ransom ready, then jump off Seaview Bridge." I ran back to my room to gather the money. When I opened the safe, I found a thick stack of documents titled "The Mila Carver Atonement Plan." It turned out that seven years earlier, the first time Leander had been

As long as he was with her, his whole heart relaxed before he even noticed. She was irreplaceable, someone he would give up everything for. "Sierra," John suddenly called out to her. Sierra looked up. "Yeah?" His dark eyes were full of affection, and she was the only person inside of them as he said, "I love you." Sierra froze. She hadn't expected him to confess so suddenly. They were simply having a chat just now, weren't they? "Do you prefer Jade City or Harbor City?" John did not give her time to react or feel flustered. After confessing, he changed the subject, as if what he had said was nothing unusual.

For another man. Her father may not be the bestest husband in the planet, but she knew that her father loved her mother dearly. Na kahit pa sa huling hininga nito ay hinahanap-hanap pa rin nito ang ina niya. She had asked her father how and why he still loved her mother that way. His answer baffled her. He said it was because he promised to love her mother until the day he dies. She honestly thought it was bullshit. How can you love someone who was unfaithful to you? Worse, how can you love someone who was not in love with you? "It's happening in a month. And I want you to walk me down the aisle," patuloy nito habang patuloy na nakatuon ang atensiyon nito sa pagkain nito.

“I thought it was the illness. Now that I think about it, she might never have been happy.” “Then, why do the same to me?” I asked Raymond. “Because I don’t know how else to be!” he said. His voice was strained with helplessness. “Cara, this is the only way I’ve ever known how to love someone for the past thirty years. I don’t know what the right way is.” His voice echoed in the hallway. I had never seen him lose control like that. He seemed vulnerable. I slowly slid down to sit on the floor. My back was against the door.

Otherwise, I would not have survived the night. I had just returned from the hospital. My injuries still throbbed with dull pain. Tears welled up when my fingers brushed against my flat stomach. I still remembered the vicious oath he had sworn when he defied all gossip to marry me. “Hailey, you’re the only one for me. If I ever betray you, may I die a wretched death.” Yet he brought his first love into our home. The cold wind stung, but not as much as this heart-wrenching pain.

He swore that he would make his company the top one in the city. He did achieve his goal, but at the same time, he was known as the "Aloof Prince" and "Playboy Young Master Bo" in the city. Yet, he was not happy and life seemed hollow. He messed around to break her heart, hoping she would leave him herself. He didn't realize that all he wanted was her until she had the car accident and left him. He loved her, and he just hadn't understood himself, or he just didn't want to admit it. But when she actually left him, he finally realized it.

The song starts with background drums and I sing out . All the girls on the block knocking at my door Wanna know what it is, make the boys want more Is your lover Playing on your side?

His eyes were sunken. He looked at me and moved his lips slightly. "Naomi, could you give me one more chance?" I shook my head. "Timothy. Live your life, and don't come looking for me again." Tears trickled down his cheeks, one drop after another. I didn't say anything else. I turned around and walked away. Several months later, I received a text message. The number was unfamiliar. There was only one sentence. [Naomi, I'm sorry. I can't repay what I owe you in this lifetime. Maybe in the next one.]

"Diana… you can be angry with me, but don't say things like that. Don't you remember everything we've been through? I want to marry you, to make it up to you, to take care of you, because I believe we love each other. I—" My voice rose, sharp and hard. "Who said we love each other? Callum, yes—I used to feel something more than sisterly affection for you. But you were in love with someone else. And now? Now I feel nothing for you. You say you love me—so what? What makes you think I want it?"
