Too Late To Ask.

TOO LATE TO ASK.

Anas Theodore has everything.

Money.
A beautiful home.
A prestigious school.
Anything he could possibly ask for.

Except the one thing he never learned how to ask for.

His parents.

At nineteen, Anas-better known as Fred at Daarus-Salam School-is the oldest student in his class, and one of its biggest problems. His grades are falling, his temper is getting worse, and his reputation as a bully seems impossible to shake.

Everyone sees a spoiled billionaire's son who has everything handed to him.

Nobody sees the empty dinner table waiting for him every night.

Nobody sees the parents who are always too busy to attend, too distracted to notice, and too quick to solve every problem with money.

Nobody sees how long he's been alone.

But when a teacher who remembers the boy Anas used to be refuses to give up on him, and a classmate he constantly targets begins to see through his anger, the walls he's built around himself slowly begin to crack.

For years, his parents never stopped to ask what was wrong.

Now they finally want answers.

But what happens when the questions come too late?

A story about loneliness, family, bullying, accountability, and learning that sometimes the most expensive things in life are the ones money can never buy.
