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

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

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

…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

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.

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

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

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 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.
