All Chapters of Too Late To Take Me Back Alpha : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Scarlett's POVBy the time I walked out of Silver Crest Biotech, the sun was already beginning to set.Golden light stretched across the city skyline, painting the glass buildings in shades of amber and gold.For the first time in days, I felt genuinely excited.The partnership agreement inside my briefcase felt heavier than paper.It felt like victory.One investor after another was saying yes.The impossible challenge Luna Christine had thrown at me was slowly turning into my greatest triumph.A smile lingered on my lips as I descended the stairs outside the building.My guards immediately surrounded me. "Are we returning to the company, Luna?"I glanced at my watch.Five thirty-two.I released a long breath.Honestly, I wanted nothing more than to go home, soak in a warm bath, and sleep for an entire week.Unfortunately, life was not that kind.I still had one final meeting.One last company.One more opportunity to secure another investor.After that, I could officially call it a

Scarlett Mrs. Clinton walked over and pulled mw into a hug.The unexpected affection caught me completely off guard."My dear." Her voice softened. "Thank you."Something tightened painfully in my chest.Nobody had ever hugged me like that before.I hugged her back a little awkwardly. But sincerely.Mr. Clinton joined us moments later. "You have a beautiful heart."My eyes stung unexpectedly.I quickly blinked, refusing to cry. Because that would be embarrassing.Mrs. Clinton smiled. "You must visit us sometime."I blinked. "What?"She nodded enthusiastically. "Come visit.""We would love that." Mr. Clinton agreed immediately. "Very much."I looked toward Dominic. He looked just as helpless as I felt which somehow made me feel better.I laughed softly. "If I find the time, I will."Mrs. Clinton immediately looked triumphant. "As long as that is not a rejection."I shook my head. "It is not."The woman looked delighted.Eventually, after another twenty minutes of conversation, the fam

Scarlett's POVThe next day, I sat in my office, staring at the message Killian sent me last night. I stared at it for a while then, I placed it gently on my desk before leaning back against my chair.A slow breath escaped my lips.The office was quiet again, yet Killian's stunned voice from our yesterday conversation, continued echoing inside my head."Fifty percent?"I closed my eyes briefly.No.It had never been about the company.It had never been about money.It had never been about taking what belonged to him.If he truly believed I wanted half of Silver Moon Pharmaceuticals because I was greedy, then he had never known me at all.Not even after all these years.A bitter smile tugged at my lips.Perhaps that was the saddest part.He had lived beside me, shared a home with me and called me his wife.Yet he never understood the woman standing beside him.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts."Come in."Amelia pushed the door open carefully.She immediately noticed the untouched

ScarlettJust then, I heard a soft knock on the door. "Luna?"I turned around and Amelia stood at the doorway again. "There are fresh flowers for you."I frowned. "Flowers?""Yes."She stepped inside carrying an elegant arrangement of white lilies and blue roses."There wasn't a sender's name."Curiosity flickered through me.I accepted the bouquet before noticing a small handwritten card tucked between the flowers.I pulled it out carefully. The handwriting was neat and elegant."Congratulations on another successful partnership. Someone is quietly cheering for you."There was no signature.. Nothing else.I read the sentence twice and a strange warmth settled inside my chest.Somehow... Without seeing the name...I already knew exactly who had sent them. I knew it was Dominic.A smile slowly appeared on my face.It was small.Almost impossible to notice. Yet it reached my eyes. Amelia noticed immediately. "Oh..." She folded her arms. "Now I understand."I looked up innocently. "Unde

Scarlett One crouched in front of me. “Such a proud Luna,” he said softly. “It would be a shame if you made this difficult.”My chest tightened.“What do you want?” I asked, forcing strength into my voice.He smiled. “You already know.”Another stepped behind me, his fingers brushed my shoulder slowly.I jerked away instantly. “Stop.” My voice cracked slightly. “Stop it.”The man in front of me sighed as though disappointed.“We were going to sign the contract,” he said. “But first…” He tilted his head. “…we need you to cooperate.”My breath caught. “No.”The word came out immediately.Their smiles faded just a little. Then returned darker. “Then I’m afraid,” he said slowly, “we can’t proceed with business.”Something cold slid through my chest.I tried to stand again. This time, I barely made it halfway.The world spun violently.My vision blurred and I fell back onto the chair again.A hand reached toward my face. I jerked away. “Don’t...”But my strength was slipping.I hated it..
