The ride to Weston Central where the gala would be held took about an hour. To Ethan, the silence was stifling so he spent the entire ride on his phone while to Autumn, it was normal.

Just as the car pulled up to the venue, Ethan turned off his phone and looked at her. “Can you not make a scene here?”

Autumn arched a brow. “I’m not the one you should be telling that to”

Ethan couldn’t say anything else as the car came to a stop. Cameras flashed wildly and reporters called out to them to step

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   We'll make her remember

    The sound of movement in her room woke Autumn up. For a split second, she waited for someone to come into her room and tell her that Alisa had summoned her for the pending confrontation that had yet to happen.After Zara left last night, Autumn expected Alisa and Lydia to barge into her room to confront her about what happened with Zara, but it didn’t happen. She tried to push the matter to the back of her mind, but it plagued her even when asleep.Autumn wasn’t scared of the confrontation. She just wanted to avoid it.Another movement in the room made her open her eyes fully, and for a minute, she wondered who the person opening her curtains was.“Who…” She started to ask, but the words died in her mouth when the woman turned and she realized it was Sofia.She had also forgotten about the new staff for a brief second.“Good morning, Mrs Grant” Sofia greeted her before continuing with her task. “How do you feel? Would you like me to call a doctor?” she asked."No." Autumn shook her he

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   Not as quiet

    Everyone turned to Ethan as he walked into the room. His mouth was pressed in a thin line as his eyes scanned the room.“What’s going on here?” he demanded.Naomi was the first one to act.She hurried to his side with a frightened expression on her face. “I’m not sure, but Miss Autumn wants to employ her own staff," she explained with a timid voice, and Ethan’s eyes narrowed.“What is she saying?” Ethan looked at Autumn, who was seated calmly.Zara stepped in front of Autumn again, blocking her from Ethan’s gaze.“That woman brought in her mad friend to insult us." Alisa recovered and stormed to Ethan’s side. “Can you believe she almost hit me in my own house?” Alisa screamed.Lydia also spoke. “She wants to bring in a new chef and caretaker. What would people say?”“The truth” Zara answered with a nonchalant shrug. “Have you not been maltreating Autumn? Look at her. Was she like this before she married into your cursed family? You evil people have ripped happiness from my friend”Eth

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   Unfiltered Zara

    Zara stayed with Autumn for the rest of the day. Her mother, Zainab Mensah, had sent over some soups and food for Autumn after Zara had told her about the sickness. She had also called Autumn and asked if she wanted to come over to the Mensahs' house to recover, but Autumn had declined.“Thank you, Zara” Autumn said, handing Zara the bowl she had just finished eating from.Zara glared at her. “Thank yous aren’t supposed to exist between us” she said, adjusting Autumn’s pillows so she could be more comfortable.Zara was relieved. Autumn looked better after eating. She was still worried, but Autumn was stubborn and insisted that she did not call Kani.A knock came on the door and a maid came inside. “Miss Mensah, two women are at the door. They said they are here for you and Mrs Grant."Zara lit up. “They are here. Come on." Zara helped Autumn out of the bed and to the living room where the two women were waiting.One of the women looked in her late twenties, while the other looked in h

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   Zara's surprise visit

    Autumn turned around in her bed. She had a headache since morning, and it wasn’t easing, so she hadn’t been able to pull herself from bed.Her body had felt off since the gala. Not since way before, but her health seemed to have declined more since the gala.She had put off going to the hospital first so she could watch and see if it was the stress getting to her. She hadn’t been able to eat properly for days.Alisa had tightened her hold on the staff. They wouldn’t leave meals for Autumn when she missed one, claiming there wasn’t enough, and since Alisa had ordered them to listen to Naomi, they were adhering strictly to her rules.Autumn was too lazy to cook for herself on some days, so she would end up going a full day without a proper meal or any food at all.Autumn wasn’t sure if Ethan was aware of how his family and “friend” was treating her but she also didn’t care. It wasn’t like he was going to stop them. He didn’t tell Naomi that her meal timetable was ridiculous when he foun

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   Divorce her

    By the time the gala was over, Naomi didn’t dare make a move to ride with Ethan.“Did something happen at the gala? Your mood has been sour since we got into the car” Lydia asked with a frown. She had been busy catching up with her friends so she didn’t have time to be with Naomi.Naomi smiled inwardly. She clasped her hands together and trembled softly. “I think I might have truly pissed Mrs Grant off this time” she answered shakily. “She and Ethan argued because of me and I feel terrible”At the mention of Autumn, Alisa's and Lydia’s faces turned into ugly frowns. “That woman” Alisa sneered. “What has she done again? I told Ethan not to take her for this event, but he insisted because Mr Asher was particular about family”“He should have taken Naomi instead and introduced her as his wife instead” Lydia snapped angrily and just then, an ugly thought formed in her head and she turned to her mother with a malicious glint in her eyes. “Why is Ethan still married to that woman? The old m

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   What did I do?

    Mirabella blinked innocently. “You don’t have to be shy. We are all friends here” she urged, her eyes shining. “We experienced how you and Ethan were so in love. I’m sure there are still some feelings there, right?”Naomi wanted to collapse from the weight of her anger.She was barely fighting to shed the mistress tag that Autumn had given her on her first day in Weston, now Mirabella was insinuating the same thing in public.Someone nudged Mirabella. “Mirabella, you should learn to curb your tongue. Mrs Grant is here. How can you say such a thing?”Mirabella pouted. “But I’m not wrong. Didn’t you see the way Naomi stepped in front of Autumn earlier when she was speaking with Mr Asher?”The people around the table shifted uncomfortably at Mirabella’s bold words. Everyone had noticed it when it happened, but since Ethan didn’t say anything, they decided to ignore it.Naomi’s fingers dug into her palms, but the smile on her face didn’t waver. She knew how to handle people like Mirabella

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   The man on the balcony

    Why was it different?Ethan had no answer either. But despite it all, he didn’t understand why she was being difficult. Rory just wanted to protect his daughter, she didn’t have to say all those things out there where everyone could hear. “Are you that angry about the dinner?” he finally asked. It

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   A house of her own

    Autumn stood in front of the mirror. Her eyes scanned the length of her body and she couldn’t help the satisfied smile that played on her lips.None of the Grant’s staff had assisted her in getting ready but she didn’t mind. She knew how to do her own makeup and her hair so she was fine.The deep b

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   Pretentious

    Ethan stormed out of the house with a lot on his mind. He thought that Autumn had changed so much in the last few days.Was she so upset about the dinner? It wasn’t like they were in love or something for her to get hurt that he didn’t show up. He didn’t want to judge her based on her upbringing,

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   Gala outfits

    Autumn and Zara talked for a while before Zara had to get back to work. Autumn picked herself from the bed and went to the bathroom.The sight of the wound on her shoulder ignited the anger she felt earlier and she felt the strong need to go back and deliver a hard slap across Lydia’s face.“They
