Too Late, Ex-husband 37. His Whole World
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

~It took two hours for his car to get repaired.Asher couldn't believe it.Would Clyde really stoop this low to get what he wanted?Right under his watch, he had the bodyguards deflate the tires of his car. It was a funny but ridiculous thing. Asher had no other choice but to let Violet go with him.And he regretted it. What were they up to?Why wasn't she back yet?They were supposed to go to the hospital and have Mimi's bruise treated. Something that could be handled with a simple first aid. Pacing back and forth outside the large doors, he glanced at the gates now and then, anticipating their return.It was almost evening. It shouldn't be that Clyde took them away, did he?Damn!What was he thinking?Of course, Clyde would take them away at any opportunity he got.Asher shouldn't have let them go… but he'd expected Violet to up a protest which she didn't. She'd willingly followed Clyde to his car. “M- Master, don't worry. I'm sure they'll be back.” The maid stood behind him,

…At Eden Suites Hotel. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Clyde's mind, as well as his thoughts, were somewhere else despite his gaze fixated on the city down below.His mind pondered the same word again and again,He wasn't sure if she would grant his request.He wasn't confident that Violet wouldn't disappoint him.After all, he was now a different person in her eyes.She wouldn't give in just easily despite telling him that she'd think about it, giving him a little hope. Back at the hospital, he'd wished the visit would last longer. He couldn't let them go, but he had to because she'd given him a condition.What if she didn't fulfill her promise, though? His phone rang, cutting through the deep silence inside the suite.Staring at the contact display name, Clyde contemplated if he should answer it or not. All he knew was that a phone call from his grandfather wasn't always good news.He would either receive an earful or get impossible instructions.Ever since Violet left

… 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

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

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

“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
