Too Late, Ex-husband 31. Missing
Staring at the ring, Mimi puffed her cheeks, her eyes watering up.The girl was really sad.Was she serious about Violet going back to that infidel man?Shouldn't she just tell her what happened?Sigh!Mimi's ears were too young for that kind of information.It could traumatize her for life, knowing that her father cheated with somebody else.“Did Uncle Ash give you this ring behind my back?” She mumbled.Violet's thoughts went back to the events that happened on the Island.If she hadn't been busy exchanging the rings with Asher, Mimi wouldn't have gotten lost in that sandstorm.Then Clyde wouldn't have found her, and it wouldn't have led to all this.Thinking about it brought so many regrets to her heart.If only she could change the hands of time, then she'd take precautions and do all she could to make sure Mimi didn't meet Clyde. “Uhm, you can just remove the ring and then it's over between you and Uncle Ash, right, Mummy?”Mimi's suggestion had her fluttering her eyes in disbel

Violet's expression darkened, his words hitting the right spot directly. She struggled to keep in her rage, controlling herself from yelling. “That's very interesting coming from someone who never wanted her in the first place.” Surprised at the calmness in her tone, Violet smiled when Clyde's scoff sounded. Wasn't he shameless for saying that?If his medications had worked on her, would her baby even be in existence?What right did he have to question her about Mimi's safety? “Whatever you say, Violet Harris…” The man grumbled in a disapproving tone. “Just so you know, I won't allow the same thing to happen again. My daughter stays with me from now on.”The heck!Clyde hung up immediately after saying that.He had to be kidding!No way!There was no way he would just take Mimi from her. She dialed that number again, but he didn't answer the call. Violet was almost consumed with anxiety, afraid that the heartless man meant what he said. When she tried the second time, however,

The security men's grips were too tight, giving her no room for movement.Violet couldn't believe what was happening.Were these people in their right minds?How could they seize her just because she resembled someone who had stolen from them?Wasn't it ridiculous?“Hey, let me go! Let go!” She shouted.But no one was listening to her screams. The customers scowled and the sales ladies looked ready to gang up against her as the bodyguards dragged her in a random direction. As much as she struggled, Violet couldn't break free. And added to the hunger in her stomach, she was suddenly lightheaded from the constant push and pull. “Let go of me!”“Hey, Guys! Stop!” Suddenly, a loud voice sounded. A plump middle-aged man dressed in a dark business suit appeared, striding towards them. “So you have caught the thief.”“Yes, Manager. This lady looks exactly like her,” answered the bodyguards who immediately stopped walking.The man approached, scrutinizing Violet from head to toe.Shaking h

A gold-digger.That word reminded her of a lot of things, especially that day five years ago. Funny how this was the second time someone was calling her that.What an irony that Clyde happened to be present now.Did he also recall that?Was that why he seemed so angry? After all, he'd also labeled her with the same name.The Manager must have sensed the danger also, and he trailed off, his body shaking like a leaf. “M- Mister, please stay out of this. I need to teach her a lesson.”“How about I teach you one first?” Clyde glared at him before moving a finger in the air. In the next second, three bodyguards came inside and grabbed the Manager. “What's the punishment befitting someone who bullied Mrs. Crawford?” He snorted.The bodyguards glanced at each other, and they nodded concurrently as if communicating silently. They started dragging the Manager out whose expression was as pale as a sheet of paper.The man let out a loud scream, bawling his eyes out. “M- Mrs. Crawford? Are yo

…At MJ Corporation. Why was it so difficult to focus?Why was his heart beating in an uneven rhythm?Asher couldn't get any work done.A simple signature had become so difficult, taking up at least one hour.Now and then, he'd find his mind wandering off to this morning.Clyde Crawford.Violet.And Mimi.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't envision himself inside the same frame.Was he being too insecure?Was he letting Clyde’s statement intimidate him?“Mr. Sydney, the meeting will start in five minutes.” His assistant walked in, holding a stack of documents. He placed them on his desk, checking out the previous ones he brought. When he noticed that he'd only put his signature on three documents, the assistant gave him a worried look. “Mr. Sydney-”“I know what you'll ask.” Asher stopped him, sighing in defeat. “Yes. I'm not fine.”Asher didn't know why he was speaking this out.He'd probably look like a coward.But he rarely hid anything from his assistant.Most of the time

…At The Amusement Park. Violet panted heavily, holding her knees as she struggled to catch her breath.Mimi had run off again, and it was so difficult to catch up with her.Well, she gave up!The workers were by her side, protecting her anyway as she jumped from one fun ride to another.But actually,Mimi wasn't the only person she wanted to catch up with. If only she could get close to Clyde and drag him to a corner, then she was going to give him a piece of her mind. Yet, ever since they arrived at the Amusement Park, the man seemed to be avoiding her intentionally.He was either making a phone call or having fun with Mimi.To say that the duo had left her out was an understatement. Violet felt like a complete stranger, standing in the middle of nowhere.Urgh!Groaning in frustration, she let go of the idea of chasing after them and dragged her feet to the carousel ride. As she sat on one of the horse statues, her breathing gradually turned to normal and she watched them from a

Tension filled the air, and a deep silence fell across the place.As if time had stopped, the men went into a glaring battle, each throwing daggers with their eyes. Staring back and forth from one man to another, Violet sighed exasperatedly.They weren't about to get into a fight, were they?Well, she wouldn't be surprised if they did. The desire to tear each other apart was evident in their eyes. The unspoken tension was louder than the fiercest scream. “Daddy…” Mimi shifted in Clyde's arms, the little girl obviously unaware of the tension between both men.Her interruption came in handy as both men instantly retained their normal expressions.“Since Uncle Ash is here, why don't we have fun together? Uhm, Daddy, I'm also hungry.”“Mm. We'll go to the nearest restaurant outside the Park,” Clyde suggested, offering her a smile and patting her head.Violet didn't like that idea.What if Clyde left the amusement park with her baby and never came back? She couldn't just follow them wh

Shaking her head, Violet returned his smile.Although she would love to leave this place, she couldn't leave her daughter behind.Not in Clyde's hands. “It's okay. I'm fine.” Aside from that, she was relieved that Asher didn't think much about Clyde's words.He must have brought up that topic to anger him. Violet slowed down her footsteps, focusing on her thoughts instead of Clyde's conversation with Mimi. Completely aware of the storm brewing behind her, she walked hand in hand with Asher towards the noodles stand. If looks could kill, she and Asher would have probably dropped dead by now.Funny how she could feel Clyde's presence no matter how hard she ignored it.She could feel his anger and annoyance.Despite his light tone as he conversed with her baby, the hidden rage underneath the surface couldn't be overlooked.Finally, they arrived at that spot. The noodles tasted great as Violet had imagined.On a long table, she sat across from Asher, while Clyde sat across from Mimi

…Inside The Hotel. Cora sighed, leaning against the window, her gaze fixed on the scenery below.How funny!How devastating! How ridiculous!So Clyde hadn't been kidding with her. He really had found Violet.Not only that, but that wench had a child!?Wasn't her whole life a joke then?Would she be able to believe her reality anymore?Thinking she was far ahead and could handle the situation, Cora had never looked forward to this sudden blow.When Clyde had informed her on the phone, she wished she was dreaming. At first, she'd been confused. After all, the man only went to the point, telling her that he was bringing Violet and his daughter to IvoryHills.She should be prepared. She should help them get ready!Oh, she would.Folding her hands, her lips twitched, curling up slightly at the end. Violet Harris. She'd underestimated her once more. Who would ever expect that she'd been carrying a Crawford heiress when she ran away? An heiress… a child for the Crawford family. No! I
Too Late, Ex-husband 49. Overprotective!
Violet struggled to remain calm despite her heart racing at the moment.She never thought that she'd wake up to this huge shock. How the hell did he get here?Hadn't he been sitting in a chair on the opposite row beside Mimi?Well now, Clyde wasn't only sleeping beside her. He was almost lying on top of her, his breathing ragged and his hot breath fanning against her neck. Yet, the shameless man didn't show any signs of embarrassment.He even had the guts to make fun of the situation.Hopefully, he couldn't hear her heartbeat. Hopefully, he realized that she meant what she said and could even punch him in the face. Freya was right behind them.Damnit!Violet wished her best friend was fast asleep and didn't witness it. She pushed the man off her, letting the blanket fall in the process.Violet didn't mind the cold.The desire to sleep had long left her already, all thanks to the shameless man beside her. She shifted away, maintaining a safe distance from him.Now she regretted co

“Clyde Crawford…” Asher gritted out, his tone tensed and tight. “Don't you dare! You know the offense of kidnapping-”“Would have been more fun if it was a kidnap.” Clyde chortled, reveling in the moment, feeling good about himself. “Unfortunately, I have no time for such petty things. Violet came with me voluntarily-”“That's a lie!”“Whatever you say, Asher Sydney.” Clyde clicked his tongue. “Now don't waste my time. My family needs me.”Then he hung up, smirking as he dropped the phone beside him. Clyde relaxed back on the reclining chair, taking in a long, deep, contented breath.On the right row, Violet was sleeping deeply on a similar chair, while beside him, Mimi slept soundly.He'd never expected this turn of events.Never had he seen it coming that Violet would agree to follow him. Hadn't she ditched him?Hadn't she locked their daughter up because of that?What changed her mind?He thought she vowed that she would never come with him. Clyde wasn't sleepy while everyone in
Too Late, Ex-husband 47. Game Over
…At MJ Corporation. Asher strolled around his office, circling the couch that sat on the corner. His eyes accessing the wrapped boxes of gifts, a subtle smile formed on his lips. He picked up the bouquet of roses and sniffed it, the gentle fragrance bringing a calming effect to his once anxious mind.Violet would love this. Honestly, who wouldn't?Asher had outdone himself this time. He couldn't imagine that instead of spending the whole day working and attending meetings, he invested all his time in picking out these gifts.But it would all be worth it.He couldn't wait to witness the smile on her face as she unwrapped these boxes and went through the gifts. “Mr. Sydney, I must say that Ms. Hayes is lucky to have you.” James appeared with some document folders. Staring at the gifts, he nodded in appreciation. “I just wonder how much you admire her.”“A lot,” Asher admitted. He'd always admired her ever since they met.He must have had his own selfish intentions, but he'd nev
Too Late, Ex-husband 46. Blamed Her
~Her devastation knew no bounds as the Doctors took hours inside the emergency room, treating her baby.Violet was tired of walking back and forth.She was tired of sobbing and regretting, knowing this was all her fault.Her body's energy was rapidly declining. Yet, she couldn't give up.She had to keep praying. Her baby had to be fine. But the hours only increased without any sign from the emergency room.The doctor didn't come out. The nurses who had been going in and out had stopped too. Standing in front of the door, she reached out to push it open, her heart beating rapidly. But the door was bolted.Her baby was still in there. What was happening?Suddenly, she teleported back to the Villa where she stood in front of the door that led to Mimi's bedroom.Violet kept on knocking, calling out her baby's name desperately.Her fingers were bruised from struggling with the doorknob. Her weakened knees were about to give out.But then, she fell and someone caught her. Violet fell a

Clyde couldn't keep his anger from showing.He wasn't planning to control it either. What the hell was she doing that his daughter almost lost her life?How did she fall into that state in the first place? When he received an urgent call requesting emergency assistance to save a little girl's life, who knew that little girl would turn out to be his own daughter?Shock-stricken, Violet stared at him with widened eyes. Her lips trembled, and her teary eyes blinked. “C- Clyde.”“Dr. Crawford, do you know each other?” Dr. Brown glanced between them, his brows knitting in confusion. Clyde disregarded his question. He couldn't help but imagine what would have happened if he wasn't around.What if he'd taken off to IvoryHills City as he'd initially planned?After finding out that Violet had blocked him, and he couldn't have access to them in any other way because the Villa’s security had suddenly been tightened, he'd decided to leave and bring his family here instead.As luck would have
Too Late, Ex-husband 44. Ultimate Danger
Nobody leaves?Asher had only told her that he'd tightened the Villa’s security so Clyde couldn't barge in on them like yesterday.He didn't tell her not to leave this Villa.Besides, this was a critical moment.“Are you crazy!?” Freya said the same words in her mind. Violet couldn't believe the bodyguards. Were they even supposed to say that at this moment?“Ma’am, we're only following instructions.” The second bodyguard didn't bat an eye. “Please don't blame us.”“Well, don't worry, Ma’am.” The maid chipped in, her hands shaky as she fetched water in a bowl from the bathroom. “W- We will be able to revive her. The little Miss has only fainted.”She sprinkled water on her face and then wiped her face with some of it. None of the methods worked. Violet got to her feet, hugging her baby. “Just go and get the driver! If anything happens to her, I'll hold you both accountable.”But more than anybody else, Violet was at fault.She couldn't deny that. If she hadn't given Mimi a hard ti
Too Late, Ex-husband 43. Nobody Leaves
Freya parted her lips, giving her a shocked look. She was also speechless. The way Violet had been when Clyde stated that ridiculous offer. For a few seconds, Freya didn't say any words.Then her angry look returned. “That's too much to ask.”Exactly.Well, Clyde still insisted she was his wife. She had a feeling that he wasn't joking when he said he didn't sign the divorce.Following Clyde to IvoryHills would potentially mean an imprisonment for her.What if he never allowed her to return?“Well, you don't have to do what he said.” Freya gave her shoulder a reassuring pat. “Just let him go with Mimi and you'll stay behind.”That was impossible.Violet couldn't let her daughter embark on this journey alone. She had a feeling that Clyde and his family would take Mimi away from her.If Mimi was going, then she'd have to follow her.But Violet couldn't go either. So this journey- she couldn't risk it.“I know this is very complicated, Vi…” Freya softened her tone, giving her an appre

… At Continental Villa Estates. Violet sighed for the umpteenth time, walking back and forth in front of the door that led to Mimi's room.The little girl's heartbreaking sobs echoed from inside the room and she pounded on the window now and then, probably trying to open it. Thank goodness the window was high from the ground and tightly locked.She couldn't imagine what would have happened to her baby if she tried to jump from it.“Mimi, stop crying, Dear. Can you please open the door?” This was like her thousandth time saying the same statement.How strange that the girl could bolt the door, blocking her out. “Hearing you cry breaks Mummy's heart.”“Mummy, it's not my fault. Promise me you'll take me to my Daddy. You can't send Daddy away.” Her bitter sobs resounded, breaking Violet's heart to pieces.“I- I didn't send your Daddy away,” She stuttered.Indeed, she'd blocked him off and also made sure Asher blocked all the ways Clyde could get access to this Villa. Her daughter w
