Your Love Came Too Late Chapter 15
After leaping from the balcony, Ember's consciousness seemed to plunge into a vast darkness. She looked around in confusion until a dazzling light appeared in the distance.A voice spoke to her, "Go on. Your wish is about to come true."She instinctively ran toward the light—and then opened her eyes.Where was she?She blinked as she stared up at a ceiling that felt both familiar and strange.Her body which had been dormant for so long was weak and sluggish. Struggling to sit up, she took in her surroundings.This was… her old room in the Sloane residence in Oceanus.Years ago, the family company and shares had been seized by greedy relatives after her parents died heroically. The house itself was auctioned off, leaving her homeless.But in the end, the property hadn't sold because it was too old and worn.Later… The family her parents had saved took pity on her and brought her into their home.Wait, what…Ember frowned sharply. The couple her parents had saved—what were the

Ember found a job at a nearby flower shop. Although the pay wasn't high, she genuinely enjoyed it.Spreading beautiful things to others brought her happiness, and she made many new friends during her time working there."Good morning, Jenny," Ember greeted cheerfully as she entered the shop. The store owner, Jenny Alby, immediately pushed a plate of steaming hot pastries toward her."Here, try these—I made them myself today."After completing her prep work for the day, Ember received a delivery order. To her surprise, the address was right next door to her home.Carrying a bouquet of lilies, she arrived at the customer's door and pressed the doorbell."Sorry, I'll be there in a moment," said a bright, clear voice from inside.When the door opened, a handsome young man stepped out and took the bouquet from her hands."Thank you… Wait, is that you?" His tone shifted mid-sentence as the latter was half-tinged with surprise and delight.Ember looked up at him, feeling somewhat puz

Ember had taken extra attention in dressing up today.The year was coming to an end, and Forrest had invited her to watch a movie on New Year's Eve.She understood the significance of his invitation and felt the same warmth for the kind and gentle man.Whenever she was with Forrest, she felt relaxed and at ease. It was a sense of reliance she hadn't experienced since her parents passed away.The streets were aglow with neon lights by evening.Everywhere was festively decorated, bustling with life. Couples strolled by, hand in hand, adding to the lively atmosphere.Ember chose a long crimson dress paired with a wool coat to match the occasion, striking the perfect balance between playful charm and elegance.As gentle snowflakes began to fall from the sky, Ember instinctively reached out to catch them, only for a shadow to appear overhead.It was Forrest. He adjusted her scarf and tilted the umbrella toward her side in a natural gesture."Sorry, did you wait long?"His thoughtf

Not long after, Ember received a text message from Atlas."Ember, can we meet?"I know I went too far before. I shouldn't have treated you that way…"But I understand now. I know I was wrong. Please, give me another chance, will you?"As Ember read the series of messages, her emotions were a mix of confusion and unease.Although she had no memory of Atlas, a peculiar feeling tugged at her heart. Deep down, she sensed that she might have known this man in the past.The blank space in her memory only intensified this nagging intuition.No matter what, she felt she needed to uncover the truth, and that meant meeting Atlas in person.With that thought in mind, she replied to him, "Let's meet.""What's wrong?" Forrest asked, noticing that she seemed to be preparing to leave. "Where are you going? Do you need me to take you?""No need. I'm just… going to meet someone."She looked at Forrest's warm and gentle gaze, and an uneasiness crept into her heart.What if Forrest got upset

At that moment, Atlas' gaze toward her was filled with sorrow and despair. It was as if he might shatter at any second."You really don't feel anything?" he asked as he gripped Ember's wrist tightly, refusing to let go. "Do none of our memories mean anything to you anymore?"His force startled Ember, and she instinctively shook her head.Atlas' eyes grew darker, filled with anguish and a growing madness."What about the avalanche?" he pressed, his voice trembling as he dredged up the painful memories. "The time Kaylee pushed you off the mountain, causing you to almost lose your legs—do you not remember that either?""What?" Ember frowned as she pulled against his grasp with confusion etched across her face."Kaylee framed you and pushed you down the snowy cliffs. You were trapped in the mountains for seven whole days!"The more he said, the more her expression clouded."Your legs were so severely frostbitten, and after that, she and her brother concealed your injuries, mistreat

Atlas was entirely consumed by thoughts of Ember, so much so that he had been absent from the Ferguson Group for days. When Wade heard about it, he flew into a rage and immediately ordered his wayward son to be dragged back.When Atlas was brought back to the Ferguson residence, the first thing he saw was his parents sitting silently in the living room.As soon as Wade saw him, he shouted, "Come here!"Atlas walked over expressionlessly, only to be met with a resounding slap across his face. His head snapped to the side, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.Alana, who was standing nearby, immediately rushed to her son in panic."Talking is enough. Why did you have to hit him?" She scolded her husband. Her voice was filled with concern as she pulled Atlas closer to inspect him.The more she looked, the more horrified she became."What… what happened to you?" she asked in shock. "Atlas, why are you covered in bruises? And who hit you in the face?"Unable to bear seeing her son in

A few months later, Ember and Forrest got engaged.That day, Ember was both worried and angry as she brought Forrest to the clinic after watching Atlas leave."Look at this wound…" Ember carefully applied ointment while scolding him, "Why did you have to act so recklessly?"You have such a handsome face. It would be such a waste if it gets scarred."Forrest grinned and rested his chin in her palm. "If it means getting your attention and sympathy, then that punch was totally worth it."Ember's face turned bright red as she glared at him. It was half-embarrassed, and half-affectionate. "You're impossible."Still, worry flickered across her expression. "Promise me you won't do this again. Seeing you hurt makes my heart ache.""I promise," Forrest said earnestly while nodding. "From now on, I'll never make you worry again."They held their wedding in early summer.Beneath a cascade of flowers, the couple walked toward each other amidst the blessings and applause of family and frie
Your Love Came Too Late Chapter 1
Ember Sloane was shoved down the snowy mountain by Kaylee Langford during the avalanche at the ski resort. Kaylee had only dislocated her arms and fell in place, while Ember plummeted to the bottom of the mountain.Ember was stranded in the Aneira Mountains for an entire seven days. She probably would never have been found if it hadn't been for the branch that pierced her foot, leaving a trail of blood stark against the pure white snow.Crimson blood spread across the snow, resembling a blooming red flower. Ember leaned weakly against a tree stump, and she was so frail and lifeless that she seemed to be on the verge of dissolving into the snow.When the security team spotted her, they immediately used their walkie-talkie to notify Atlas Ferguson. "Mr. Ferguson, we've found Ms. Sloane!"Soon, a helicopter descended from the sky. The gust of wind from its blades nearly prevented Ember from opening her eyes. Even so, she caught sight of Atlas at first glance. However, trailing behind

Atlas couldn't remember how he made it back to the hospital.When he came to his senses, he was already sitting by Ember's bedside with tears streaming down his face.Ember lay there with her eyes closed, so still it was almost as though she weren't breathing. Only the faint rise and fall of her chest proved she was still alive.Atlas broke down as he looked at her serene features. He buried his face in his hands as he wept.He knew Kaylee had been right.Neither Kaylee nor Spencer had caused as much harm to Ember as he himself had.How did it come to this?He truly loved Ember in the beginning. How did he end up doing so many things to hurt her?If only he hadn't gone to the birthday party with Kaylee…If only he hadn't fought with Ember that day…If only, he hadn't left her behind out of spite on the day of the ski trip…The hospital room was deathly quiet except for his muffled sobs.Memories flooded his mind—bright and happy days that were now out of reach, like snowfla

Ember was moved to the bed beside Atlas, so he could see her every time he turned his head.He spent every day by her side, and he'd trace his fingertips gently on her eyebrows and eyes over and over again."Ember, the people who hurt you have already been dealt with. Please, open your eyes and look at me, won't you?"However, there was no response from the unconscious Ember.Meanwhile, the Langford siblings, who had been disgracefully cast out of high society, were struggling to survive.Kaylee had previously leveraged her connection to Atlas to secure a modeling job with the Fergusons' company and access to the elite social circle.However, her manipulative and insincere behavior had left her with few genuine friends.Now that Atlas had blacklisted her, she not only lost her job and housing but also became a pariah within those circles.Spencer was in an even worse position. A talentless drifter, he had been no different from a homeless vagrant before his brief association wi
