Too Late, Ex-husband 84. Teaching Her A Lesson
That spot hurt a lot! Violet felt dizzy.She couldn't open her eyes.She couldn't make out her surroundings.A strong palm connected with her cheek, pulling her out of the pool of unconsciousness. She gasped. Her breathing ragged. Strange how she couldn't move or lift her limbs.They felt heavy, bound by what seemed to be a hard rope.Where was she?Where was her baby?“Wake up, you fool!” Accompanying the hard slap was the cold water poured over her.From head to toe, Violet was completely drenched.She shivered, the icy coldness sipping into her bones.Slowly, her vision became clear. Violet gasped, finding herself kneeling in front of the woman.She cursed under her breath, wriggling to break free from the rope. “Becca, what's the meaning of this!?”“You're seeking death, Violet! Call me mother-in-law!” The woman slapped her. Violet didn't see it coming.What did she do wrong this time?How the hell had she offended her?“You have grown wings in this house, haven't you?” Becca

…At Metro City. ‘She’s awake!’As the heartbeat monitor changed rhythm, his own heartbeat became irregular. Sitting in the chair beside the bed, Asher tapped his feet anxiously.He waited for her to open her eyes.He waited to confirm his suspicion.Despite the bandage on her forehead, concealing half of her face, the resemblance was undeniable.It was so striking that he believed she was…“Violet.”Asher called out the moment she opened her eyes.Fluttering her eyelids, she squinted to adjust her eyes to the light.“Oh… where am I?” She let out a pained murmur, reaching up to touch her head,But then she winced. Her arm was broken. It was going to take at least two weeks before the fracture healed.“Violet…” Asher called out again. Those eyes. He could never mistake them.Those were his Violet's eyes. She stared at him, blinking, her eyes narrowing a bit. For a second, she didn't speak as if thrown into shock.Her expression was pale and she winced once more. “W- Who are you

…At IvoryHills City. Crawford Mansion. Violet winced, shutting her eyes as his strong palm rubbed her back gently. The cooling sensation from the ointment seeped into her bones, leaving a burning feeling on her skin.She couldn't handle it.It was pleasure and torture at the same time. Violet just wanted him to stop, but the heartless man wouldn't leave her alone. “I'll be done in a minute. Hold on,” He said softly, pulling her hair sideways as his palms traveled up to the back of her neck. That place was even more sore. Biting her lips hard, she endured the pain.“Can't you just get the servants!?” She hissed as he rubbed the ointment on her arm. However, the man sighed. “I'll be gentle. We don't need the servants.”Right!To protect his mother's image, no servants were allowed to attend to her.If any servants saw her like this, rumors would circulate that Becca had turned into a monster,Which she actually was.For three days straight, Violet hadn't been able to leave the b

Would Becca seek her forgiveness?Violet doubted that.Besides, she wasn't sure if she would be able to forgive her.Violet was only here to fulfill one mission to get Clyde to sign the divorce papers.Never had she expected to fall back into the miserable life she'd once lived. It was none other’s fault except Clyde's. If he'd agreed that they moved back to the Villa, all of this wouldn't have happened. He said it was because of his grandfather.Yet, Grandpa Luke had been okay with them living in the Villa before. As the old man was still here, it was a great opportunity to ask him by herself. “She doesn't have to, Grandpa,” Violet replied. She didn't need Becca to ask for her apology anyway. “All I want is that we return to the Villa. Clyde and I… we've spent quite some days here already.”Grandpa Luke's sullen expression turned gloomier.He obviously didn't appear pleased by her request.Violet could sense Clyde’s displeasure too from the tensed look on his face.“You really

…At Metro City.A week had passed, but it felt like just yesterday.Asher couldn't believe he was doing this. He didn't know what he was doing in fact.He must be out of his mind. He could regret this later. “Mr. Sydney, you're doing nothing wrong,” Said his assistant who was driving him back home. “Take this as a charity act and also use it to your advantage.”Asher chuckled. “You order me around as if you're my Boss. Why the formality?”James coughed, blushing in embarrassment. “I'm sorry, Boss… however-”“Just call me Asher.”“Huh?”“You can call me that in her presence since she believes we're friends,” Asher replied.He'd always been listening to the guy because he came up with good advice.James wasn't only his assistant but also his confidant.But sometimes, Asher had a feeling that his assistant's advice could lead him to trouble someday.Probably this one.It wasn't like he was a child, though.Asher knew what he was doing. If only he had other ways, he wouldn't have reso

…Finally, Violet could breathe in the fresh air.After a whole week of torture, she would be finally free and out of this place.Although the mansion was vast, it was so suffocating that she felt as if she was in a dungeon.Every day was spent in anticipation of the day they would finally leave this place. “Mummy!” As Violet dragged her luggage out of the bedroom, Mimi rushed to her in the hallway. The little girl looked so sad, her eyes shining with tears. “Do we have to go away? I'll miss Grandma, Grandpa, and Greatgrandpa. I'll miss Ava and Daddy too, please don't take me from my Daddy.”“We'll just move to a new house, Baby…” Violet ruffled her hair. “And of course, your Daddy and Ava are coming with us. We won't be very far, we'll be visiting here often.”“Oh…” Mimi nodded in realization.“The Villa is closer to your school also…” Violet added. “So you won't be late to school.”“That's great, Mummy. Since Daddy's coming with us, it's no biggie.” Mimi wiped the tears in her ey

Cora froze in her tracks. Her fingernails dug into her palm, her heart burning with fury at the sight ahead.Wasn't that Clyde?Who was he kissing in broad daylight? She chuckled, unable to take her eyes off the couple.Cora had a feeling that he saw her.Yet, he decided to add insult to her injury by kissing that filthy girl. She looked at the sky, blinking rapidly to hold back her tears. Clearing her throat, she stepped forward. The couple broke apart.Violet’s face flushed with embarrassment while Clyde stared at her impassively.Cora wished she could see what Clyde saw in her.Violet wasn't any better than her.Why did he choose this filthy girl over her? “Haven't I warned you not to come near my family?” He glared at her. Cora smiled.Would she ever listen to his warning?Hadn't she made it clear that she would never stop chasing him?“You were absent from the company for many days. I came to check-”“It's none of your business.” He grabbed Violet’s waist, pulling her clos

~Now Violet was getting worried. Why hadn't Mimi returned yet?She couldn't still be at Grandpa Luke's quarters, could she?Yet, Violet hoped she was.The feeling that she must still be at Clyde's parents’ quarters scared her.They were about to enter the car, but Mimi was nowhere to be found.“Don't panic. I'll look for her.”Clyde’s statement was like the air as she paid no attention to him.Getting into the car, she shut the door and faced the other side. The man was really something, wasn't he?Violet hadn't seen that kiss coming. She hadn't been ready for that embarrassment.However, she had a feeling that Clyde did it intentionally to spite Cora.If there was a feud between him and his mistress, why did he involve her?Besides, wasn't he going to abide by her no-intimacy rule?Several minutes later, Clyde returned with Mimi.He must have found her at his parents' quarters, because he looked angry as he entered the backseat of the car with her.Violet didn't need to guess what

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.
