All Chapters of Too Late for Forgiveness: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Serena didn't go back to her apartment. Instead, she found a hotel nearby.She scrubbed her fair skin in the bathroom until it turned red, then crawled into bed.The soft yellow glow of the bedside lamp lit the room. She curled up under the thin blanket. Gradually, the unease in her heart began to fade, and she fell asleep.But her rest wasn't peaceful. She had all kinds of strange dreams.One moment, Justin, as a boy, stood protectively in front of her, saying, "I'll always watch out for her. No one's allowed to bully her."Then, she was in a dark stairwell. A strange man pinned her down, greedily inhaling her scent.The final image was Candice's innocent-looking face. As she leaned against Justin, her eyes mockingly locked on Serena. "You look like a dog, Serena."She drifted in and out of a restless sleep until a phone call abruptly woke her up.She picked up the phone and heard Justin's cold, detached voice on the other end. "Make some oatmeal and bring it to the office."

"Sorry, Rina. I got so worked up. I thought you were heartbroken and that Scumstin had hit you." After returning to her place and getting the full story, Lauren finally managed to stop crying."But he's still horrible. You encountered a creep, and he was hanging around with his mistress? This kind of scumbag should be castrated and thrown into the sea!""Candice is his girlfriend," Serena said calmly."That's bullshit! She's Justin's girlfriend, so what does that make you?"Serena's face looked faintly melancholic under the light. "Yeah, what does that make me? Probably just a pet he doesn't care about."One he could call whenever and dismiss without a second thought. When he was done with her, he didn't even need to formally let her know."Forget Scumstin. Just think of it as all those years of real love wasted. There are plenty of men out there. You'll find someone new for sure."Serena gave a faint smile. Right now, she had no desire to think about a new relationship.After

Serena hailed a cab and headed straight for Farrow Corporation.On the way, she got a call from Lauren, who asked where she was. Serena casually mentioned where she was going.Lauren immediately insisted on coming over, claiming that as her best friend, she couldn't let her go through this alone. She'd come to help Serena deal with Justin.Serena tried to talk her out of it, but in the end, she couldn't stop her.An hour later, the cab pulled up to the entrance of Farrow Corporation's towering building.The sun blazed off the glass and steel, making her squint as she stepped out.The headquarters of Farrow Corporation wasn't located here before. This was the new building.Five years ago, when it had just been completed, Justin had been in a great mood. He had drunk heavily to celebrate and ended up passing out in the CEO's office.Serena had stayed by his side the whole time.She stood in front of the massive windows to enjoy the night view. Suddenly, she felt someone lean in

Lauren's rear-end collision somehow lightened Serena's heavy heart."Are you okay, Rina?" Lauren asked."I'm fine now. I cried it all out," Serena replied. "Besides, you just hit a Bentley. I can't afford to dwell on my feelings.""You should've told me earlier! If I'd known this would help, I'd have smashed Scumstin's Maybach into pieces!"Serena chuckled and hugged Lauren tightly. "You're the best, Laurie.""Even though you're gorgeous and all, I still prefer tall guys with big dicks. Thanks, though," Lauren joked."Okay. When I make it big, I'll get you ten of them.""Two will do. My stamina's not that great."They laughed all the way home to their apartment, and Serena finally left Justin's drama behind.That night, they had a cozy barbecue dinner at home. Lauren took charge of prepping the vegetables while Serena handled the grill.Serena was a great cook. Years of humbling herself in the Farrow residence meant spending plenty of time in the kitchen.Later, following Ju

"Serena?" Arthur Collinsworth pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up, thinking he must have seen it wrong.Just as he was about to confirm, his phone rang.Joseph's voice came through. "Where are you, Arthur? We've been waiting for you for ages!""I'm coming."Arthur hung up and headed straight for the luxurious private room on the second floor. A few people were already there waiting.His brother Joseph, Justin's sister Mollie Farrow, and Justin were all there. Next to Justin was a petite young woman.Arthur casually tossed his suit jacket onto the couch. "Why isn't Serena here?"The mood in the room instantly froze.Justin spoke up coldly, "She quit. She's no longer associated with Farrow Corporation.""Did you two break up?" Arthur asked."We were never together." Justin's face darkened. He then pulled Candice closer. "This is my girlfriend, Candice Ashton."Candice smiled gently. "Nice to meet you all."Arthur barely acknowledged her, continuing, "Serena's been with us for s
