Too Late, Ex-husband 91. Memories
~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

Violet followed him inside, her footsteps slow, somehow hesitating.They walked past the living room, heading upstairs.Then something caught her eyes and she stopped in her tracks. Inside the huge frame hanging on the wall was a photo of an ocean with the figure of a lady sitting on the seashore, her back facing the camera.That photo was taken during their honeymoon on an Island, and he'd had the photo laminated and used as a wall decor.Violet glanced away, her heart thumping inside her chest.She resumed walking upstairs, doing her best to avoid the familiar sights. The flower vases. The decorations.The furniture.Each artifact brought back memories of the blissful love they once shared. Why didn't he throw them away?Why didn't he burn them?The fact that he'd preserved everything inside the Villa troubled her mind.She couldn't live in these memories. She was only going to spend a few more weeks, but coming across them every day… she wasn't sure if her sanity would still b

She was going to regret this.Violet had this strong feeling that she wouldn't doubt.This wasn't gonna end in her favor. She wasn't gonna smile about it after it was over. Clyde picked her up, their lips still locked. Seconds later, he lowered her onto the bed and towered above her.Violet's heart pounded. Through the transparent cotton shirt, he cupped the flesh of her chest and instead of a gasp as she anticipated, a soft moan left her lips. “Clyde…” She stuttered, her brain muddled as she tried to think clearly.Yet, she couldn't form a coherent sentence. Except for his name, not a single word came to her mind. He lifted her blouse, pulling it off her. When his lips touched her flesh, sparks exploded in her brain. Writhing underneath him, Violet wrapped all her limbs around him.She breathed heavily, wanting him to stop, hoping for more. “Clyde.”“Mm,” He murmured, his warm breath fanning her flesh. “What's the matter?”“Please…” She teared up.She couldn't tell why she was b

…At Metro City.No!He couldn't do it. As much as they resembled, she wasn't Violet.She would never be.“Mr. Sydney, breaking the young lady's heart will have consequences. You've already made her believe that she's your wife.”Asher didn't know how a video conference with his assistant turned into a relationship coaching session. But he'd been distracted throughout the meeting. He wasn't focusing, and James was fast to realize that something was bothering him. “Doing that is like cheating on Violet…” Asher wiped his face. “Besides, I can't.”Violet was the only woman he'd ever been in love with.The only woman he'd ever fantasized about.His desire, when it came to the other women, was zero.He couldn't bring himself to touch her, talk more of kissing her.James' heavy sigh echoed through the speakers. “I should have known you're too loyal to Ms. Hayes. We should have clarified things to that young lady in the hospital.”But that was the only way to be close to her and keep a c

Clyde didn't like the idea of moving back to the Villa,But thanks to his mother, Violet became adamant to leave the mansion.In the mansion, he could do most things he wouldn't be able to do if they lived alone.His grandfather's support.The fact that she couldn't live in any other room except his,And the fact that they must always stick with each other.However, his mother had to spoil everything. He rarely saw Violet these days.She'd taken over the guestroom downstairs, sharing it with her best friend. She was only ever in his proximity whenever Mimi was present.And then, she would be gone.If she wasn't locking herself up in the room, she would be busy hanging out with her best friend in the Villa’s garden.The fact that he had to come to work every morning and return in the evening wasn't helping matters either.

Hoping that his eyes weren't deceiving him, Clyde rose to his feet, his heart beating with anticipation.Never had he expected her to ever visit him in his office.Hadn't she been mad at him since these past few days?“Ah-Ah.” Harry coughed rapidly as if he'd just caught a cold. He sprang up from the chair, looking flabbergasted. “And so, Mr. Crawford… Which car do you think is more suitable? I understand that you need more drivers for the job, unfortunately, I'm just a rookie. I hope you can give me more time to master driving.”As Harry blabbered on, Clyde didn't pay him attention. Violet didn't either. She stepped forward, her gaze fixed on his, her expression devoid of warmth.Was she here to visit or fight him?The cold look on her face made him uncomfortable. Clyde cleared his throat. “Why're you here?”“The school hours are almost over.” She folded her hands. “Have you forgotten our promise to Mimi?”Right!How could he forget?To honor her first day of school, Mimi wanted

“Ms. Crawford, It's okay to go alone. Matt's parents will soon come for him… I heard your parents are here.”The teacher tried as best as she could to coax the girl gently. Wondering what was happening, Clyde stepped inside the classroom with Violet.Yet, Mimi didn't notice them.She appeared to be engrossed in her sadness, and her attention was on the kid sitting beside her.Pursing her lips, she stared at the teacher. “I'm not complaining, Miss. Joseph. I'll wait until Matt’s parents are here.”Clyde exchanged glances with Violet, his confusion reflecting in her eyes.It appeared Mimi had already made a friend on her first day.While other kids were excited to meet their parents and go home, she was only eager to accompany this kid.“Mimi, just go home. I'll be fine by myself,” said the boy who appeared a little bit more mature than his age.He held Mimi's hand, giving her a resolute look. “I can't leave you by yourself, Matt,” Mimi protested.But the boy reached out and patted he

If it had been before, Violet would have been ecstatic.In the past, she'd always wanted to go out with him, to be recognized by the world as his wife.She didn't care if her parents would find her or find out. All she wanted was his complete love. Indeed, she'd always been sad whenever he attended those kinds of events without her. But his reason at that time was to protect her from his enemies.Whenever he was shown on the news with Cora by his side, she'd always have to suppress her gloom and show that she didn't care. Well, now, Clyde was serious about taking her out. She'd almost thought that he said that in his office only to spite Cora. But he appeared to mean what he said. Did that amount to anything, however?Was it gonna change her stance? “Don't you think it's unfair?” His sullen voice halted her. Violet paused just as she was about to step out of the study room, contemplating his statement.What made it unfair?Was she supposed to agree just because he asked her out?

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.
