~MATT~

Everywhere seemed too quiet.

I stood in the center of the living room. I stared at the chair where Tyla usually sat during this time of the evening but it was empty.

Back at the office, there was no one on her desk. I hadn't noticed how much space she actually occupied until that space was completely vacant.

Worse, the office was sliding into complete disarray. The temporary replacement PA the HR department had scrambled to give me was some guy named David and he was doing absolutely tra

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   044| Arresting Tyla

    ~TYLA~Vincent and the team had gone downstairs to get some coffee, leaving me alone in my private room at the company.But I couldn't focus on anything because every time I looked at my computer screen, my heart felt heavy.The company had never encountered an issue like this before, and somehow my return seemed to have triggered it.At least, that was what everyone on the board believed.They didn't stop to think rationally or consider everything I had contributed since joining the company.All they cared about was the company's success and whoever could deliver it.When I first came here, they had trusted me and given me the chance to prove myself.Now, that trust had crumbled so easily, and they expected me to prove myself all over again.The pressure from yesterday and today had been too much for me to bear alone without breaking down.So, I had already texted Cassian to let him know I wouldn't be available today because I needed all the time I could get to rewrite the missing co

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   043| To destroy Tyla Avery

    ~MATT~Another message entered. It was from my secret informant who I hired to keep an eye on Tyla.My eyes fixed on the message as I read.Aegis Tech is falling apart because someone had broken into their servers at noon and deleted five months' worth of important codes and project files.The company was in serious trouble, and the board members were already discussing removing Tyla from her position assuming her negligence was the cause.I stared at the message. I didn’t understand how I was feeling.Why did it feel so wrong to see her suffer?Wasn't this what I wanted?I had always believed she was an ambitious woman who trapped me. But seeing her about to lose everything didn't make me happy.Instead, it left me feeling empty.I rubbed my tired eyes and headed downstairs to get a glass of water.The house was completely quiet. The maids had gone home, Grandma didn’t stay at the villa and Olivia had left much earlier after the shopping spree.But as I walked through the upstairs ha

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   042| I want my Mummy

    ~MATT~I walked toward the living room and stopped at the entrance.Olivia was sitting on the rug near the sofa. She was surrounded by a number of colourful shopping bags.She had also bought an expensive remote-control car and was pushing it toward Kenny."Look how fast it goes, Kenny!" Olivia said. "If you like it, we can go to the store tomorrow and buy the matching racetrack. What do you think Kenny?”Kenny was sitting quietly on the rug with his legs crossed.He looked at the shiny plastic toy, then up at her.However, he didn’t look excited, he just nodded politely with a small smile."Thank you, Aunt Olivia," Kenny said quietly as he held the toy car.Olivia furrowed her brows but she immediately ignored it.She shifted closer to him, reaching out to ruffle his hair.I noticed Kenny flinch away from her touch, leaning his small body back toward the sofa.He wasn’t like this towards Olivia before but even so, he was still being polite, just like Tyla had always taught him to be

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   041| The Conversation

    ~TYLA~When Cassian sat down right next to me, I expected him to mock me.A successful man like him would laugh at my small company's disaster so I thought he would use my weakness to force that business contract into my hands.But he didn't laugh. He just stretched out his long legs and stared at the city streets ahead of us."Who did it?" he asked. He didn’t sound arrogant like he usually was. It was just a normal question.I looked down at my shoes, biting my lip."We don't know yet. A programmer wiped our files and cloud backups at noon and that resulted to five months of our project been swept off. And now, everyone is panicking."I waited for him to say his company was pulling out of our deal we were even yet to finalise because no company would want to sign a deal with a company at stake.Instead, Cassian just listened.He didn't cut me off once or offer any cheap comfort.He just gave me space to breathe out the heavy stress that was already crushing my chest."It hurts most w

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   040| The Sabotage

    ~CASSIAN~The tech reports were right in front of me on my desk but I hadn't read a single line.My mind was completely somewhere else.Every time my office went quiet, I kept seeing Tyla's face from last night."Mr. Virell?" my secretary’s voice came through the desk intercom. "The harbor transport logs are ready for your signature.""Bring them in," I said, rubbing my forehead.But when the office doors opened, it wasn't my secretary.It was Marcus.Marcus walked in, he looked dead serious and I knew something was up."Sir, there is a problem at Aegis Tech," Marcus said stepping closer."The new project they were building for our shipping lines was compromised this morning. A huge chunk of their core data files was deleted."I sat up straight in my chair. My eyes narrowed as I questioned. "Did someone hack them?""No," Marcus said. "Our security division checked the system footprint. It looks like it is an internal sabotage. Someone inside their development team intentionally wiped

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   039| Mattew was an Idiot

    ~CASSIAN~"What do you think you are doing?" Tyla screamed angrily. "Are you a pervert? Get out!"I did not move right away. My eyes stayed locked on her flushed face."I am not a pervert," I said, forcing my voice to stay level. "I was walking to my study. Your door was wide open. I was simply going to close it.""Then why are you still standing there?" she fired back. She stepped behind, trying to hide more of her bare legs. "Why are you still looking at me?""I am not looking," I lied flatly."You are looking right now!" Tyla shouted. She looked so furious and embarrassed. "Shut the door!"Before I could say another word, she lunged forward.She grabbed the edge of the door and slammed it shut right in my face.I stood in the corridor for a long moment.I looked utterly confused.No one had ever slammed a door in my face in my entire life.I was Cassian Virell.People trembled when I walked into a room.Yet this woman treated me like a common criminal in my own home.I rubbed my fo

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   035| The Cost of Being Chosen

    ~OLIVIA~I was sitting in one of the rooms at Maria’s house, waiting for Matt to return.For the past two hours, there was complete silence.The servants were walking on eggshells, whispering in the hallways and avoiding my gaze entirely whenever I passed the door. They seemed to know something I d

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   003| Mom

    ~TYLA~The doctors reassured us that it was a minor scratch, and grandma had been very lucky.Only then did my fast-beating heart slow down, and I began noticing those around me.The entire Wilson family was gathered in the ward, including Matt’s two cousins, Josh and Benny.“Mother, you cannot kee

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   002| Replaced in Public

    ~TYLA~I forced a smile to my trembling lips, even though it did nothing to brighten my face.“I’m sorry, darling. I need to head to the office now… I promise to take you to the park this weekend as compensation.”Kenny thought for a while, and then he nodded. In an instant, he was back to eating,

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   001| The Night I Was Replaced in My Own Home

    ~TYLA~I knew that my marriage was beyond saving, yet I dressed up beautifully again tonight… hoping he would at least look at me without disgust in his eyes.Yet, when he strolled past the door, reeking of sweat and alcohol, he still had a look of disgust on his face.I rushed toward him to help h
