21. The End of Their Relationship 

Violet froze in her tracks, hearing his words.His legal wife?The words resounded in her mind, echoing in her ears.He was lying!They were already divorced!Didn't he sign the divorce papers?Violet was sure she'd sent the divorce papers through his driver.She was a hundred percent sure that the driver delivered her message.Asher also turned around, facing Clyde. One couldn't tell the expression on his face, but he suddenly laughed, shaking his head. “Well, now that's an expensive prank.”“It's not a joke.” Clyde maintained his stern gaze. “If you don't believe me, ask Violet.”That she was his legal wife?No way!Violet was no longer his wife. It had been five years… they were no longer a couple.“Let's go, Asher.” She took Asher's hand, turning around to walk away,However, Asher didn't budge.He stared at her, his expression still unreadable.While Violet stared back, pleading with her eyes.She couldn't answer the question Clyde told him to ask her.She didn't know what Cly

22. Break Off The Engagement 

…So much information to digest.So little time to process them.Who exactly was Violet?What was she to Clyde Crawford?Asher didn't want to believe it… he didn't want to think about it.The things Clyde told him just now must be an expensive joke. Both he and Violet must be pulling his legs. How could Clyde be Mimi's biological father?How could he be legally married to Violet?How the hell did it all happen?“Ash, are you in there?” A soft knock from the door brought him back to the present.Asher composed himself, loosening his tie and striding towards the door. When he held it open, his mother stood in the hallway with worry etched over her expression. “What took you so long to open it, Son?”“Sorry, Mum.” He sighed. “I was doing… something else.”He glanced across the room, avoiding her eyes. However, he couldn't bypass his mother's scrutiny.The woman must have already sensed something, otherwise, she wouldn't have followed him to his room.“Come, let's talk!” She entered a

23. The Evidence 

~His eyes must be deceiving him.Clyde couldn't believe what he was witnessing. What the hell was Asher Sydney about to do with his wife?Seemed like his nightmare was becoming true.He couldn't catch a wink of sleep and couldn't control himself from coming here… only to see this!?They'd got to be kidding. Violet's eyes widened with shock, the same flabbergasted expression whenever she set eyes on him.And so did Asher who looked like a thief caught red-handed. “Why don't you continue?” Stopping in front of them, Clyde folded his hands. “Then see if I don't break you to pieces.”Asher shifted from her and rose to his feet, giving him a helpless look. “Clyde, we're not enemies.“You forgot the surname,” Clyde grumbled. After his statement, Asher's face hardened with tension.It appeared the fool was gonna claim ownership of what didn't belong to him. “Clyde, listen. Let's not make a big deal out of this. You and Violet are already divorced, so-”“Who told you I signed the divorc

24. Went To See Him

…Violet stomped back to the Villa, her shoes digging into the sand, dragging her movement. She didn't like the mischievous look on Clyde's face. That heartless man was definitely up to something.Only God knew how much courage she'd summoned to confront him. She wasn't surprised by the shocked look on his face. She was just wary of the subtle smile that formed on his lips when she stated that request.Clyde was now her enemy.He insisted that she followed him.He insisted that she was still his wife. Wasn't he going to blow her cover?How was she gonna face her family when the news got out?What would be their reaction?Indeed, she wasn't going to like the outcome. Violet had a strong feeling about that.And the last thing she wanted was to offend her family again, putting an end to their peace once more. “Violet, where did you go?” Freya’s voice called out from a distance. She stood in front of the large doors of the Villa, waving her hands. “You're up this early. What's up?”T

25. His Gift

Violet couldn't look away despite wanting to. Staring into Asher's expressionless eyes, if only she could get any reaction from him. She went to see Clyde without Asher’s permission. She'd planned to tell him first, but Asher seemed to be avoiding her after the incident last night.Was he mad at her?Why didn't his expression reveal that?What exactly was he thinking at the moment? Above all, Asher's impassive state scared her the most. Violet couldn't convince herself that he was okay with all that was happening. She gulped, struggling to control her heartbeat.Yet, suddenly, Asher held her hand, stroking her palm gently. At that moment, all of Violet's fears and anxiety washed away, leaving in its wake a calm and peaceful mind.Asher’s reassuring gesture only meant one thing.Thank goodness he wasn't mad at her. Violet looked away as the place sank into silence. Something else had caught Mimi's attention outside and she had her eyes glued there. After the long tiring ride,

26. Not Backing Down

Violet looked down, her eyes fixed on the ring on her finger.Her heartbeat slowed down, her mind filled with confusion as well as anticipation.Was Asher just going to ignore the fact that Clyde said they were married? Wasn't that what she wanted?However, living in the same home as him. Was that the right thing to do? “What do you think?” His gentle words floated into her ears, straight to her anxious heart. “Will you live with me from now on?”Violet sighed, contemplations clouding her mind. Why not?They were now engaged.It was only logical. Nodding slowly, she looked up and met his gaze. “Why not?” Violet forced a smile and shrugged. “We'll soon get married, won't we?”The gloom and insecurities in his eyes were replaced by a bright glimmer. His hearty chuckles echoed in the living room and he pulled her into a hug. “I was almost afraid you wouldn't agree.”And for a moment there, Violet thought about saying no.But why would she? It didn't make sense, right?Asher was al

27. Game On

Asher shoved a hand in his pocket, discomfort spreading across his face. Pressing his lips into a thin line, he seemed to be struggling with a reply.Violet walked in on them in that awkward position, with Mimi giving him an incredulous look. “You aren't gonna back out of your promise, are you?” She asked. “Uncle Ash, Daddy must be waiting for us.”Violet shook her head, helpless. She stepped onto the balcony and squatted behind Mimi, turning her to face her. “Come on, Baby… do you want your Daddy to see us like this?”A tiny frown appeared on Mimi's face. She pursed her lips, not quite understanding her mother's statement. “What do you mean, Mummy? Of course, Daddy would love to see us.”But Violet sighed. Hopefully, her tactics would work on her. Mimi got smarter each day, and she was afraid the girl was going to see through her lies. “Your knee is bruised due to Mummy's carelessness. Your Daddy will definitely scold me when we meet. Why don't we wait until your wound heals f

28. Make Him The Happiest Person 

…At The Island Clyde paced on the balcony, his gaze straying to the Villa far head. Now and then, he'd check his wristwatch.It was almost evening. Violet was really something.Didn't she promise she'd let him see his daughter? Was that promise a lie?Since morning, he'd been patiently waiting for her to appear with Mimi.He'd respected her request of keeping a safe distance.Although her request didn't make sense because he saw no reason why he shouldn't meet her family, he still respected it.But now, it seemed like he would have no other option than to barge in on her in that Villa.If it turned out that she lied, God helped him-“Honey, you're still here?” A familiar voice called out from a distance.Cora.Why did she come back?“Thank goodness! I thought you'd have traveled somewhere else.” She stopped in front of him, flashing him a smile. “So what happened after saving that stray kid? Did you find her parents?”Stray kid?Clyde didn't pay her attention until she mentioned

29. Strike First 

The happiest person?Clyde was only going to be happy if he got what he wanted. And if things went his way, Cora didn't have to sacrifice herself.He closed his eyes as the helicopter took them out of the Island. They arrived in the city at night.Funny how he'd constantly come to this city for a business trip.He couldn't believe that the woman he'd been searching for had always been here. Cora had fallen asleep during the journey and when she woke up after they landed, she looked around dazedly.“W- Where are we? Clyde, I thought we were going back to IvoryHills.”Clyde ignored her question, walking away from the hotel's rooftop.As Cora raced after him, he checked his wristwatch. It was night already. Although the city never sleeps, most of its inhabitants would have.Clyde had waited for the other person's report.But so far, he hadn't given him information regarding Asher's whereabouts. The bodyguards had already taken his luggage to one of the VIP suites. Clyde was ready

30. Promised Him

…At Continental Villa Estates. Violet sat in the chair by the window, letting the cool morning wind breeze past her into the room.On peaceful mornings like this one, she was able to organize her thoughts.And recently, her thoughts had been in nothing but jeopardy.First was the appearance of her ex-husband. And then meeting Cora again, before her baby got lost and came down with that condition. Now Clyde was after her like a ghost.Hopefully, the nightmare she had wouldn't come true.It was a horrible experience she wouldn't wish upon her mortal enemy.If that nightmare came true…Violet shuddered, shaking her head to dispel those thoughts.If only it was easy to forget things.Then she'd give anything to forget this nightmare. A gentle knock came from the door, putting a halt to her thoughts and saving her from thinking further about the nightmare. Asher stepped inside, his eyes roaming across the room before they fell on her. “You're up already.”“Good morning.” Violet stood
