When Love Comes Late Book

Claire had only one goal: to save her ailing adoptive mother, even if it meant agreeing to a dangerous deal.

But plans have a way of unraveling As she got to know him, she realised that Leon wasn’t the heartless man she expected, and as her duty blurred into desire, she fell for him—hard. Yet when the weight of her deception became too much, and it was time to leave she left him with nothing but a letter and a shattered heart. Three years later, their paths cross again. Leon, now fueled by vengeance, drags Claire back into his life. But he doesn’t know the whole truth. Hidden in her past is a secret—a child born of their union. As love battles with betrayal and duty collides with desire, can they rebuild what was broken, or will the deceit that binds them destroy them forever? A tale of passion, redemption, and the thin line between love and lies.

Maybe the night's cold is finally getting to me. "Yes,I will you accept?" He heard that. Noway did I speak aloud? Huh. The tips of his ear are little red. He is so cute. I can't help but smile to that. "You do realize you are asking me to wait to date right?" He turns and stares me down in eyes. He looks pitful. Maybe to an outsiders, it looks like I am bullying him. "I will give you the answer when we aren't enemies. He looked away. He had a frown on his face. "When the night comes, will we meet again." I asked him, gazing upon the stars in the sky. " When the night comes, I will also come with it." His replied made my heart tingle. "But I don't know about you." My face had a soft smile.

Excerpt* As Cian removed his jacket, revealing a serpent-like tattoo on his chest, a chill ran down her spine. “Who sent you?” she asked, her voice quivering as she clutched the sheets tightly around her. Cian smirked, “Which insignificant creature would dare to command me?” Confused, she glanced at the doors, praying for someone to walk in and save her from this dangerous stranger. “Then why are you here?” she managed to ask, her heart pounding in her chest. Cian casually tossed his jacket onto the nearest chair, revealing his muscular chest and the glowing, serpent-like tattoo that coiled around it. “For you, sweetheart,” he replied, his voice deep and seductive. She stared into his piercing, emerald-green eyes, awed by their luminescence. They seemed to pierce right through her, illuminating her heart and igniting a fire within her that she couldn’t quite extinguish. As Cian moved closer, he bent down to look her directly in the eyes, his gaze penetrating. “Marry me,” he whispered, his voice low and dangerous. She recoiled in horror, pushing his hand away as she tried to back away from him. “Pardon me, my Lord, but I must refuse your offer,” she said, her voice shaking with fear. Cian let out a low, sinister laugh as he pulled off his shirt, revealing the full extent of the tattoo that seemed to writhe and twist on his skin. He crawled onto the bed, pinning her down as he loomed over her. She struggled against him, trying to break free from his grip, but he was too strong. He leaned in close, his breath hot against her skin as he whispered, “Sweetheart, what is mine is mine, and what is yours is mine.” “She froze, her heart racing as she realized the danger she was in and how ridiculously aroused she was getting. Cian, with his piercing gaze and devilish grin, knew exactly what he was doing.

Leo had been living a peaceful life when, suddenly, his tranquility was shattered by his haunting past. Someone he thought he'd escaped, someone he believed was behind him for good, was now chasing him once more. This time, no matter where Leo ran or hid, the person was relentless—coming for him. ..... Leo’s skin crawled under the touch, his breath shallow as he forced himself to speak. “Stop.” The figure’s eyes flashed with something dark, something possessive. “Stop?” he repeated, his voice a low whisper, like a soft hum in Leo’s ear. “You don’t really want me to stop.” Leo’s heart pounded, his vision blurring at the edges. “I’m not—” His voice broke, and he clenched his jaw, trying to pull himself together. “I’m not the same person you knew.” The figure’s smile returned, colder now, more menacing. “Neither am I.” Before Leo could react, the figure’s hand wrapped around his wrist, gripping tightly, pulling him closer. Leo gasped, his body stiffening as he was yanked forward, their faces now inches apart. He could feel the figure’s breath on his skin, cold and unsettling, his eyes burning into him with an intensity that made Leo’s stomach twist. “What do you want from me?” Leo’s voice wavered, his chest tightening as the reality of the situation settled in. The figure’s lips curled into a smirk, his grip tightening. “I want you to remember. I want you to feel what you’ve tried to forget.” Leo’s mind raced, his thoughts scrambling for a way out. But before he could say anything, the figure’s hand slid from his wrist to the back of his neck, pulling him in sharply. Their lips collided, a hard, forceful kiss that sent a shock through Leo’s entire body. Leo’s breath hitched, his mind screaming in protest, but his body was frozen, trapped in the overwhelming force of the moment. The figure’s grip tightened, his kiss rough, claiming, as if trying to erase every part of Leo that had moved on, every part that had healed.

It was wrong to be with her. And it was wrong to mess with him. They shouldn't be near each other. Anthony Kiel Cruise was just your typical bad boy with inferior complexity. For him, it was all just pure Attraction and the need for attention. For him, it was just a game, and it would be over soon. Cristina Rielle Cordova would rather sulk her ass off rather than be near the typical bad boy. She would rather listen to music and share memes on her newsfeed than experience the so-called stupid love. She hates him. He loves playing with girls' hearts. She is a snob. He is annoying. She is a challenge for him. Then everything slowly changes, and those changes aren't acceptable to him. But slowly and surely, he wants him wrapped against his carnivorous fingers, just like how he was wrapped in hers. "Cristina Rielle Cordova," the guy whispered to himself when he saw the girl. "Dude, it looks like you're attracted to the girl you've been staring at since earlier," said his friend Ken. He's right. He is damn attracted to Cristina Rielle Cordova. Not because she's attractive. He only has one reason. Cristina Rielle Cordova is the only girl who doesn't fall all over him. He has the looks and everything, but his charisma leaves the girl unaffected. "Cristina Rielle Cordova, I'll wrap you in my carnivorous fingers and be mine." A wicked smirk came out of his lips. Cristina Rielle Cordova, you're going to be mine.
