Too Late, Ex-husband 54. Embarrass Him
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 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

Not again! It had to be right this time.Violet cupped her palms together, her eyes shut as she muttered every word of prayer. Sitting in the Doctor's office, she tapped her feet rapidly on the floor, her nerves tingling with anxiousness.As if this was the purpose of her existence, every day she stood on tenterhooks. Violet was losing patience, and so was her husband, Clyde.Many times he tried to hide it, masking his worry with indifference. Yet, it was always evident in his demeanor whenever they spoke about having a baby. “If you were a researcher, Mrs. Crawford, I bet you'd endure decades for a single breakthrough.”The Doctor's words jolted her out of her thoughts. Violet stiffened, her heart skipping a beat, anticipation and nervousness filling up her chest. “W- What do you mean?” Her voice came out as a soft whisper as she rose to her feet, studying the middle-aged man's expression. But the Doctor was all smiles. Violet had never seen him so happy.“Mrs. Crawford, con

Birth control pills?Violet leaned against the door, her heart breaking into pieces.What was happening?Was her mind tricking her, making her imagine her husband's voice? Clyde would never-The shock froze her, and she stood rooted on the same spot, her ears picking up the rest of their conversation.“Quit joking, Clyde…” Cora said, her voice playful. “You and Violet are married. Why would you want a baby with me?”“Marrying Violet wasn't my choice,” Clyde grunted as if merely mentioning her name disgusted him. “If she hadn't interfered, you'd be Mrs. Crawford instead of her.”“Clyde, but your family likes Violet.”“That’s because she fooled my grandfather!” Clyde's voice turned darker. “She’s a gold digger. I'm only waiting for the perfect opportunity to chase her out!”Each word sliced through Violet's heart. Her shoulders trembled and her tears flowed like a dam. How funny. Clyde never loved her!How did he conceal this hate so perfectly?A gold-digger.He was the one who took

…In The Evening.Clyde returned to the Villa, the stillness in the atmosphere unsettling.Violet would normally receive him at the door.Where was she? For the first time in three years, the doorway was empty, the doors shut in fact. Strange!Clyde knocked, and a maid opened the doors instead. “Welcome home, Mr. Crawford.”Clyde wasn't listening to her greeting, his gaze traveling into the empty living room. Violet wasn't there. He walked past the maid, who scurried after him, her eyes darting around rapidly. “Mr. Crawford…” She stopped him, lowering her voice to a whisper. “Actually, we've run out of birth control pills. There's none to put inside Mrs. Crawford's dinner for tonight.”Violet's absence was more disturbing than the finished pills. Clyde frowned. “Where's she?”“Mrs. Crawford might be sleeping upstairs.” The maid scratched her head as if unsure of her own words. “She complained of a stomach ache in the morning.”Stomach ache?Violet rarely got sick!That was impo

…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

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
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
Too Late, Ex-husband 50. Another Man's Ring
…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
