Too Late, Ex-husband 51. Silly Ideas
~Her smile was too fake.It was more menacing than kind.Who was she kidding?If Violet didn't know the girl's true color, she would have almost believed that her intentions were genuine. Oh, goodness! How she wished she could smack Clyde on the head.Did he leave them in Cora's care to humiliate her?Wasn't that man unbelievable?Of all people…“Food will be ready soon,” Cora announced, her lips stretching into a smile. “Please feel at home, Girls. I'll be back in a jiffy.”Then she went ahead to pat Mimi's hair before leaving.Violet could finally breathe normally.She'd been trying so hard to keep in her rage from having to see Cora's face. “I don't like her, Vi,” Freya whispered to her the moment Cora left. “Her actions are too forced.”Even a child would know that Cora was only faking it.Violet didn't miss the anger and hate in her eyes.She didn't miss the jealousy in her eyes when she took Mimi from the bodyguard. Well, she was more worried about her baby than Cora. Mimi

She walked over and took Mimi away from the cunning lady.The little girl only looked more confused, glancing between her and Cora. “Mummy…”“Hey, Dear. How about we go down and get something to eat after washing up?” Violet asked.She wasn't a fool to eat anything offered by Cora. Seriously, she didn't know what Clyde was thinking.“But there's food, Mummy…” Mimi pointed towards the large table. “I think Aunt Cora wants us to eat them.”Violet nodded, smiling at the girl. “But Mummy plans to feed you all your favorites. None of them are here-”“Mummy, you're amazing!” Mimi's confusion gave way to happiness the moment she heard about her favorite foods.Convincing her baby was a piece of cake. Violet couldn't tell her baby outrightly that Cora was a bad person because her foolish father trusted the lady. Minutes later, Freya emerged from the bathroom wearing a towel. “Great! Food is here and…”It only took a single glance from Violet for Freya to understand what was happening.She

…At The Crawford's Family Mansion.The whole family was ready as well as the servants. The extended family literally.Clyde didn't expect the news to spread so fast. When he arrived home, he didn't look forward to seeing this crowd.The vast dining table was filled to the brim with various delicacies, and the whole family sat on the chairs surrounding it.His nephews, cousins, aunties, and uncles; literally, everyone was here. He should have seen this coming when his grandfather sounded very happy on the phone.This crowd was too much though.What if Violet and Mimi weren't prepared for this?Wouldn't they scare them off? “Oh, I assure you, Becca, your granddaughter's gonna be a beauty just like you.” His Aunt, Natalie, sat beside his mother, showering praises on her. “I'm just worried that she'll be too smart for her age.”“Isn't that a good thing?” His mother chortled. “My granddaughter must have the best qualities.”“Right!” Clyde’s father butted in. “In the next fifteen to tw

His eyes had to be seeing wrong.Clyde sprang to his feet, shock overwhelming him.That wasn't Violet and her friend.It definitely wasn't Mimi standing with them. Where was the limo he'd sent to pick them up?And where exactly was Cora?They not only arrived in a taxi, they were wearing faded jeans and blouses, and his daughter wore just another jumpsuit.Their makeup was more horrible than anything he'd ever seen. What the hell was happening?“Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Who are they?”“Who invited these kinds of people?”“Are they beggars?”“Who allowed them in here?”Clyde's eyes darkened, a fit of rage suddenly boiling inside him. Indeed, they looked like beggars, especially Violet whose hair was so messy and unkempt.Was this what Cora had been trying to warn her about? This cunning woman!“Becca, I hope this is not your daughter-in-law and granddaughter.” Olivia clicked her tongue. “Tsk, if not, your family's reputation ends here.”“O- Of course, not!” Rebecca exclaimed. “How c

Violet gulped, cowering until her back was pressed to the wall.Did she embarrass him?Well, that was exactly what she'd planned. She not only planned to embarrass him but also make his family despise her so much that they couldn't stand her sight.But the heartless man just had to foil her plan.Violet didn't see the kiss coming.She never expected him to turn the situation in his favor.“Violet Harris, tell me how I should deal with you.”He was too close, his intimidating presence suffocating the atmosphere. Rage was obvious in his eyes, boiling like a volcano.As much as she tried, Violet couldn't compose herself, his dangerous presence making her shudder. She swallowed before opening her mouth. “Did I do something wrong, Mr. Crawford? Do we even know each other?”“You-”“Stop harassing me!” She stuttered. “However I dress or act is none of your business. If you or your family don't like it, is it my fault?”Violet couldn't believe she was stepping on the Lion’s tail despite ba

Violet stiffened up, holding her breath. She dared not to turn back, due to their proximity. His question was out of the blue.Was it even necessary?“State a single reason why I should,” She murmured, staring at his reflection through the standing mirror. For a man who had cheated right in front of her, should there be any other reasons why she should give him her trust? She wasn't a fool. Violet wasn't a kid either. Five years ago, she knew what she saw, and she knew that he already knew she'd discovered. “My relationship with Cora isn't as you think.” Staring at her reflection too, he snaked his arm around her waist, holding her close to him.Violet struggled between ignoring his touch and focusing on his words. Who would even believe that?“Violet…” Clyde went on. “I still want us to be a couple… I mean it-”“I no longer want to be with you,” she whispered. “Is that too hard to digest?”And what the hell was he doing? Clyde leaned forward, holding her waist with his other

~Clyde hadn't left the building yet when a piercing scream tore through the silent atmosphere.He came to a halt in the hallway, frowning. That voice. Was that scream from the room he just came out from or was it just his imagination?The realization that Violet might be in trouble had him turning on his heels and hurrying back. The closer he got to that room, the louder the screams became.“Violet!” He called out but nobody answered.His heart beating with devastation, Clyde headed straight to the closet- and a perfume bottle came flying in his direction, missing his face by only a few inches.“Honey, you're here. Please help! Save me from this crazy woman!” Cora sat on the floor in a corner, trembling and holding her bloodied forehead. The person who had thrown the perfume bottle was none other than Violet.What was going on?Five minutes had not passed since he left this place, yet a lot had already happened. “Violet, what's going on?” Violet rolled her eyes, picking up anoth

~Cursing under his breath, Clyde tugged at his necktie, yanking it off as he returned to the bedroom.The place was empty.Violet must still be inside the closet.Well, he'd think twice before approaching her now.Who knew if another bottle of perfume would be thrown at him? He removed his jacket and then his bloodied shirt and tossed them in the trash. The metallic stench from Cora's blood lingered, and he wrinkled his nose, fighting the urge to belch.Clyde stripped out of his entire clothes. He needed a long warm bath to get the dirt off him. Damnit! He couldn't believe how much blood she had lost. He still couldn't believe that Violet did that to her as well. Stepping into the bathroom, Clyde headed straight to the shower. He turned the tap on, letting the warm water fall on him, the effect gradually soothing his nerves. When he closed his eyes, his mind flashed back to the scene inside the closet. Heaven knew how much he wanted her, and how much he meant his words. The

“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
Too Late, Ex-husband 78. Two-faced Liar
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
Too Late, Ex-husband 77. Return To Her Peaceful Life
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
Too Late, Ex-husband 73. The Happiest Woman
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
Too Late, Ex-husband 71. Ran Away
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
