Too Late, Ex-husband 53. Went Overseas
…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

Violet wished the ground would open up.She shut her eyes, sinking in embarrassment, all her confidence fading away. “V- Violet, Y-You!” She didn't need to turn to know who just barged in. Urgh! How was she gonna face her best friend now? “Maybe you should knock next time you walk into people's room, Freya.” Clyde rolled off her body. “Be grateful we're close.”“Ah, you! Clyde!” Freya trembled, pointing a shaky finger forward. “W- what did you do to my best friend?”“You mean my wife.” His lips twitched and he left the bed, heading inside the closet.No! Violet really wanted to disappear. Cursing Clyde inside her mind wasn't enough. She hoped that man would slip and embarrass himself.“Violet, hope I'm seeing things.” Freya came and sat beside her, confused and wary. “Y- You and your ex-husband-”“It's not what you're thinking.” Violet quickly interrupted her, covering her cheeks.She'd thought she could provoke him and hurt his pride a little.Who knew her mischievous trick wou

Violet didn't realize that she'd been holding her breath.She literally staggered, patting her chest in relief. Her baby wasn't here. Thank goodness. She didn't even want to imagine what would have happened if these huge scary dogs had barked at Mimi. “Ah! Thank heavens she's not here!” Freya sighed in relief. “But we still have to look for her. I- I don't like how this evening is becoming.”Violet didn't like it either. She'd better find Mimi as soon as possible and keep her safe.“See, you worry too much.” Clyde gave her a helpless look. “I'll deal with that maid for thinking we're her playmates.”He hadn't turned around, though.The maid joined them, gasping for breath. “Y- Young Master, did you find her? I swear I heard the Little Young Miss-”“What's your name?” Clyde frowned at her.Violet wished the maid never appeared. It was too late to tell her to turn back.Although she was also mad at the maid for scaring the shit out of them, firing the young girl from her job should

Too Late, Ex-husband 117. The Foreboding Feeling
A twin?Who?Violet could believe Freya was only bluffing if only her best friend hadn't looked deadly serious.She even told her Asher was in town.She told her so many things that she couldn't grasp a single statement.“Listen to me, Violet!” Even an hour later, Freya was still persistent in convincing her. “It's not like I don't trust Asher. But I have a bad feeling about all this. He found the exact replica of you and called her his wife- that's absurd, Asher vowed he'd love you forever!”Asher’s love for her wasn't the thing that mattered the most.The idea that she had a lost twin out there was what scared Violet.How?And when?As far as she could remember, she neither had any sister nor siblings.She was the only child her parents had. Her parents divorced while she was young, but her father wouldn't have a daughter who was the same age as her and also looked exactly like her.Violet thought she looked more like her mother.She'd inherited most of her physical features.“You s

…At Crawford Villa. It was still dark. If only morning could come fast.For she couldn't catch a wink of sleep.Cherish their love…Forever?Clyde's statement still resounded in her mind.She didn't know why she was losing sleep over this. She couldn't tell where this feeling of guilt was coming from. She'd planned to leave him eventually. She never planned to forgive and forget.He must have his own reasons for feeding her those birth control pills.Her feelings for him must have resurfaced, getting even stronger than before, but she had an obligation.A promise to fulfill.Asher was still waiting for her.“Violet…”In the dead night, his voice jolted her. Thinking he was deeply asleep, she glanced sideways to find him staring at her. “What's wrong?” Clyde reached out and stroked her hair. “What are you thinking about?”Should she tell him the truth?Should she lie to him?However, the idea of telling him what was really on her mind scared her.Not only because she feared the o
Too Late, Ex-husband 115. The Biggest Fool
Hesitating at the door, a part of his mind told him not to step inside.She might yell at him, lunge at him, hit him, or even do something worse.A few moments ago when she revealed that furious side of her, he'd almost thought she was a different girl, totally different from the docile and affectionate woman he knew.“Ash, I'm so sorry!” Yet, she surprised him by apologizing first.Standing from the couch, she rushed into his arms and hugged him tight, sobbing slightly. “I'm sorry for misunderstanding. I- I didn't know she was your friend… I- I thought… I thought she might snatch you from me!”She choked on her sobs, burying her face in his chest as if ashamed to face him. What did he do to deserve this?How would she react when she found out this was all a play?Asher’s heart tightened, a foreboding heaviness settling on his chest. He wanted to hug her back, but his hands hung mid-air.No!This is getting out of hand.Could he carry on?Shouldn't be tell her the truth right now?W
Too Late, Ex-husband 114. Deceived Her
“It's no wonder you ignored the phone calls,” She continued, the tears streaming down her face. “It's no wonder you want James to leave you alone.”What was she doing here?How did she even get here? Shocked, Asher didn't know how to react. As if caught red-handed committing a sin, he parted his lips, but no words came out. “Why are you doing this to me, Ash!?” She wiped her tears furiously. “You've never loved me, have you!?”She stomped forward and peeled Freya away from his arms. When she raised her hand to slap him, Asher finally reacted. “It's not what you're thinking.” He caught her hand mid-air. However, she gave him a look of disbelief full of uncertainty. She'd lost trust in him. He could see the hate in her eyes. Wasn't this what he'd been avoiding? Right now, she looked hurt and his heart beat uncomfortably. She sobbed, snatching her hand away. “Then can you explain it in a way I'll understand… In a way that won't only hurt me further?”Yeah. How was he gonna expl
Too Late, Ex-husband 113. Seeing Another Woman
…That Evening.Without a sense of direction, Asher drove down the city. He'd been driving for a long time and the sky was turning dark. Yet, he couldn't stop, the turmoil inside his heart increasing. Without any sense of direction, he could be anywhere else but that hotel. He couldn't go back there and share the same suite with her. He couldn't repeat the same mistake he made the night before. Till now, his mind wasn't at ease. For a long time, he'd preserved himself, vowing that he'd never touch a woman who wasn't his wife. He'd broken that vow, his biggest regret. Now he had to live with the guilt and the feelings of hate. The fact that he reminisced about that moment last night and still longed to touch her made him more disgusted with himself. His phone rang beside him. Asher let go of the steering wheel and picked it up. Seeing his assistant’s name on the screen, he hesitated. “What's up?”“Are you on your way back, Mr. Sydney?” James sounded worried. “I'm sure the bu
Too Late, Ex-husband 112. Cherish Their Love
Violet arrived at Grandpa Luke's quarters to find the servants gathered in a corner outside. They were so engrossed in gossiping that they didn't notice her. “The Old Master appears mad today. Who do you think might have offended him?”“Is it Mrs. Crawford again?”“No, I don't think so. I overheard him making a phone call about someone's death. He mentioned the Young Master’s name.”“Wait, is he mad at the Young Master?”“Who knows? He has suddenly appeared in the mansion. It definitely isn't for something small.”“Who died, by the way?”“I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that it's a member of this family.”Violet cleared her throat. All the servants looked in her direction, having noticed her presence.They all gasped at once and started stuttering. “Y- Young Miss, when did you arrive?”“We- We were busy discussing work. Sorry, we didn't notice you.”“It's not what you're thinking, Young Miss-” “Shut up, all of you!” The Butler arrived. “If you don't want to lose your jobs, sto
Too Late, Ex-husband 111. See To His Downfall
Violet shuddered from his grandfather's tone. Because she sat very close to him, her ears caught each of his grandfather's words. Turning around to see the man's expression, a strange tremor ran down her nerves. But Clyde's expression was as pale as hers should have been by now. He looked speechless, his eyes widening. “Uhm, Grandpa. I'll come-”For the first time, she saw him stammer. And the old man didn't let him finish his words before shouting,“Well, get down here and explain yourself! Because right now, this old man is having heart pains!”Then his grandfather hung up. Clyde sprang to his feet, almost making her fall in the process. And he looked disoriented as he hurried out of the study room. “Where's Daddy going? Was it Greatgrandpa who called?” Mimi asked, hugging the new school bag to her chest. “I miss Greatgrandpa, Mummy. Can I go with Daddy?”Violet shook her head. “No, Baby. I'm not sure where he's going. Ava will help you wash up. After you've rested, how about
Too Late, Ex-husband 110. Killed His Sister
…Clyde stared at the phone in his hand, his blood boiling inside. He watched the several missed calls but made no attempt to answer them. Hadn't he restricted that contact before?It appeared Violet had unblocked the guy. Why the hell was he calling his wife!?“Clyde, have you seen my phone?” Violet entered the study room and he quickly hid the phone in his pocket. Clyde shook his head. “Have you checked Mimi's room?”“I did. It's not there.” She sighed frustratedly. “I- I need to check on the Cops. I must find Freya.”She barely slept last night all due to worrying about her friend. Honestly, she didn't need to call the Cops.Clyde already had a feeling about who took her friend away. “Relax, we'll find her.”“That's what you've been telling me.” She gave him a tired look. “Clyde Crawford, at least use your influence and help me find my friend.”Clyde would have long used his influence if he'd wanted to.However, the situation was out of his hands. The only person who could e
Too Late, Ex-husband 109. Always Wait for Him
…At Twilight Hotel. The atmosphere was intense, the tension inside the room unmatched by any other. Maybe he was the only person feeling the tension. Asher couldn't believe it.He was definitely going to regret this forever. How was he gonna explain this to her when she came back to her senses… when she finally regained her memories and discovered the truth? “You're so quiet.” Her voice floated into his ears, her sighs of contentment echoing in the silent room.The serene atmosphere was nothing compared to the turmoil inside his heart. Her peaceful appearance and her relaxed muscles as she lay on his chest contrasted with his tense ones. “Honey…” She murmured. “Whoever that lady is, she's dangerous. Please you have to avenge me. What would have happened to me if you weren't there last night?”Asher didn't know the lady she was speaking about.Unfortunately, his assistant’s search turned out futile.The lady's back was facing the surveillance camera while she gave her the wine.
