Too Late, Ex-husband 32. Her doppelganger
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

How would he be able to leave her?Clyde only wanted to find somewhere private and throw up the horrible food Violet called the best noodles in the world.He'd never tasted something so bland and spicy.Violet must have done this intentionally.Ever since they arrived here, she'd been looking for excuses to take Mimi away.She even resorted to summoning Asher here and putting up that stupid act in his presence. True. He wasn't so thick-skinned when it came to her.Clyde couldn't believe that he'd let Violet's provocation affect him.Now he regretted it.Mimi's knee was bleeding and it was all his fault.The little girl seemed to be in so much pain as she clung to him tightly. “I'm not leaving, Baby. Let's get out of here,” he murmured, patting her hair gently. If only that would take away her pain.Clyde pressed on the Bluetooth on his ear, summoning the bodyguards. “Get the car ready.” He walked away, but Violet stopped him. Her eyes betrayed no emotion. She looked so fearful as

“Why should I follow you, Mr. Crawford!” She looked at him as if she'd murder him with her eyes.Despite him holding her hand, she didn't budge.Clyde wondered what was going on.Why she'd changed so fast.He could still feel the burning pain of the slap. He couldn't get over the shock and his worries only increased. “Violet-”“Just leave me alone!” She screamed. “I'm already here, right? I'm not going anywhere, so let me breathe!”Clyde didn't see her outburst coming. She appeared oddly irritated ever since he met her at his parents’ quarters with Mimi. Did he do anything wrong without knowing?Did he say something wrong? “Violet-”She snatched her hand off and stood up. Violet gave him a last glare then she grabbed her friend’s hand and they walked away. Clyde watched their backs, his worry transforming into frustration. If she kept treating him like this, how was he ever gonna have peace?Was she still doubting him?He thought she'd let everything go since last night.Last

Hearing that statement coming from him, Violet almost laughed out loud.Why did he look displeased by the gift his mistress just bought?“Yay, Daddy! You're the best!” Mimi let go of her and hurried to the man, hugging his leg tightly. “Where’s Grandma?” Clyde picked her up.He looked so happy and carefree as he spoke with her. “I bet you're having a great time with her.”“Grandma treats me well.” Mimi bobbed her head happily. “Grandma bought me a tablet and she promised to take me shopping later.”“Daddy, will you and Mummy come along?” Mimi added. “Grandma said there’s a huge mall that sells luxury things.”“If course, we'll go with you.”“I'm so sorry, Baby… Mummy's quite busy today.”They both said concurrently. Violet glanced at Clyde who stared at her in confusion. Seriously, she hated looking at his face. “It's okay, Mummy…” Mimi pursed her lips. “I'll miss you a lot, but Grandma and Daddy will be there with me.”Violet stood up with a sigh. She hated to see her baby being

Cora brought her baby some gifts.Folding her hands, Violet chortled. What trick was she up to this time? “Let me have a look,” She ordered the maid who followed her inside with the gift boxes. Violet opened them one after the other. There were a bunch of clothes inside one box, and the second box contained school materials.And then the third box contained all sorts of toys.“Wow, Ma’am Cora surely knows what the Little Young Miss needs!” The maid said in excitement. “I bet she loves her very much.”Love?Violet almost scoffed.She couldn't tell what Cora was up to this time, but she couldn't allow any shit to happen.“Dispose of them.” She pushed the gifts aside and ordered the maid, “Do that before Mimi sees them.”Because it would be hard to throw them away then as her baby might get tempted by the toys.“B- But, Young Miss-” The maid looked confused, stuttering as she packed the gifts together hesitantly. “What if it hurts Ma’am Cora's feelings? She's still here and she might
Too Late, Ex-husband 76. Gifts!
Well, that was embarrassing.Violet wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole.Shutting her eyes, she sank in embarrassment.Clyde didn't hear her moan, right? Urgh! Damnit!She was done for.How could she let his touch affect her so much?Why couldn't she get a hold of herself?Did she even have control over her body? She bit her lips, struggling to keep her heartbeat in check as the effect of his touch still lingered.Moments later, Violet was able to calm down.She opened her eyes, however, there was a storm in his eyes. Staring at her, Clyde's eyes darkened with desire, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He pressed forward and all the energy to push him away departed her. Her knees were the weakest, her entire body failing her at the moment.Honestly, Violet was afraid…This kind of effect the man had on her scared her to the core. When he leaned forward again, whispering in her ears, her insides melted immediately.“It's a servant from Grandpa's quarters,” Cly
Too Late, Ex-husband 75. A Spy
Grandpa wanted to send her baby away? Violet's heart skipped a beat. That was too sudden. Sending Mimi to a children's boarding school abroad literally meant taking her away from her.No!Violet couldn't let that happen. “You can't believe it, but when she was with me yesterday, I found out my great-granddaughter has an extraordinary talent unlike other kids,” Grandpa Luke went on. “Remember you attended a similar school, Grandson. Imagine if my great-granddaughter grows up to be as astounding as you are.”Violet walked into the area, listening quietly.She sat on the chair beside Clyde as she greeted the old man good morning.“Ha! You're finally here, Violet!” Grandpa Luke chuckled. “I wanted to see you since yesterday, but you and this silly boy were occupied by something else, right?”The knowing look Grandpa Luke gave her made her uncomfortable.Honestly, did anything happen between her and Clyde?She glanced toward the man. However, Clyde quickly looked away.That was fishy.
Too Late, Ex-husband 74. Send Her Away
…Violet woke up with a splitting headache the next morning. Her eyelids felt heavy.Her whole body was sore, a numbing feeling spreading across her chest.What happened to her? Where was she?How did she end up here?Looking around the bedroom, she frowned in confusion.The more she struggled to recall, the more her headache increased. The room looked familiar though. Was she inside the mansion?Where was Freya?And her baby… wait a minute.Violet gasped as it all began coming back. The last time she saw Mimi was at a similar time. Was it yesterday?No way!Yesterday, she and Freya met Asher. Then they visited a restaurant, and then a mall before proceeding to the bar-No!Violet gasped, wrapping both arms around her. Strange how she couldn't recall all that happened after that.“Good morning, Young Miss…” A knock came from the door and the maid stepped inside, holding a tray with a bowl and some dishes on it. “Oh, you're finally awake.” The maid smiled. “The Young Master orde

She stared at him, her arms wrapped around his neck. Waiting for her to push him away or put up a fight, imagine his surprise when she slowly nodded.Clyde sighed in relief.He stepped inside the bathroom with her, a crazy idea cooking up.What if he got her drunk every day so she could always be this obedient?Well, that would be silly. Clyde turned up the water in the bathtub, making sure it was the right temperature. He dropped her favorite fragrant shower soap in it, letting it stir until bubbles formed.And then he carefully dropped her in the tub. Violet shivered before adjusting to the temperature.Closing her eyes, she let out a soft moan. Clyde was about to head to the shower, but she pulled him back. “Won't you give me a bath anymore?”No!He changed his mind just a second after hearing her moan.Clyde had underestimated himself. He'd thought he could observe self-control,Well, he'd rather save his life before she ended it in the morning. “Wash up.” He gave her the soa

Their bodies swayed and they were literally falling on each other.After the taxi driver helped them out of the car, he hurried to the driver's seat and zoomed off.Clyde couldn't take his eyes off the ladies as they felt very familiar. When the streetlight flashed on their faces his intuition became right.Where the hell were they coming from?“Speak about luck!” Harry smiled. “Isn't that your brave wife, Buddy?”Clyde hurried in the direction before they could think about crossing the street. They didn't look alright as they swayed back and forth. What happened to them, especially Violet, who seemed as if she was dozing off in Freya's arms? “Hey, that's my heartless husband.” She rubbed her eyes and squinted them at him. One arm spread across her friend's shoulders, she staggered forward and tumbled into his arms. Clyde caught her quickly, his heart racing. “Violet…” he patted her cheeks. “Why do you look like this?”“Huh? Like what?” She hiccuped. A deep stench of wine hit h

They jumped off the fence!Clyde was about to pick up his tablet when that word halted him.He glanced at the guy.Harry didn't seem to be pulling his legs.So Violet escaped.She was going to return, right?She wasn't gonna back out of her promise.Why the hell did she jump off the fence when the gates were wide enough for twenty more persons like her to pass through?What if she never came back?Well, Violet would never leave Mimi behind,But!“Your wife is quite interesting.” Harry continued, unaware of the turmoil in his heart. “She made such a dramatic entrance last night. If I knew she was so enterprising, I wouldn't have wasted those many years outside the country. Ah, I wonder how fun your wedding was.”His wedding wasn't any fun. Violet preferred it low-key.Except for the family members and close business allies, not even the media was invited.The Violet from five years ago was a completely different character from the current Violet.His wife wouldn't skip from a single s
