~Tyla~

I froze, my gaze lifting slowly until it met his face.

There was something about him. He had an overwhelming presence that filled the space before he even said a word.

It was as though attention didn’t just shift toward him but it surrendered to him on its own, like it had no other choice.

I couldn’t tell what exactly made him so intimidating. Maybe it was his height. He had to be at least 6'4, if not taller, and standing beside him made me feel ridiculously small. I felt like a doll pla

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   046| Cassian and Matt

    ~MATT~I drove like a madman.My hands were gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white.Corporate espionage.The word kept ringing in my ears like a death sentence.Olivia had planted that stolen Wilson Group drive right inside Tyla's private desk.When my car finally swerved into the parking lot of the Aegis Tech building, I threw my door open and ran inside.The lobby was quiet, but I could feel the tension in the air.I rushed to the main desk.When I asked to see Tyla, the receptionist said she wasn’t around.I clenched my jaw.I asked to see Vincent instead, but the secretary told me he wasn’t available either.Desperate, I pushed past the barrier and met his primary assistant in the hallway."Where is she?" I demanded, catching my breath. "Where did the police take Tyla Avery?"He looked completely uninterested in my panic, but he responded flatly. “They didn't take her, sir. Mr. Cassian Virell came into the office. He blocked the arrest on the spot and he took

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   045| Grandma Wilson’s Trap

    ~CASSIAN~The policemen stood frozen in shock.For a moment, they were completely speechless before hastily leaving the office and rushing toward the elevator.I lowered my gaze to Tyla.Her face had gone pale, and her fingers were still tightly clutching the small gift box Elowen had brought her.She was trying to appear composed, but the slight tremble of her shoulders betrayed her.She must have been terrified and humiliated. If I hadn't arrived in time, they would have taken her away."We're leaving," I said.I didn't give her a chance to argue because I knew she wouldn't want to go with me.I guided Tyla and Elowen out of the Aegis Tech building and into the back seat of my SUV.Elowen immediately climbed onto the leather seat beside Tyla and wrapped her little arms around her waist again."Don't worry, Tyla," she said softly. "My daddy is very strong. Nobody can hurt you when he's here."Tyla gave my daughter a weak smile before turning to stare out the window as I drove.Her vo

  • 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   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   034| For One Woman

    ~MATT~Usually, family meetings were held in the dining room over coffee. But Grandma hadn't called for coffee.She had called for Mr. Harrison, the senior legal advisor who had managed the Wilson family trust since my grandfather was alive.When I walked in, Harrison was already organising folders

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   033| For Elowen

    ~TYLA~I was back in a lounge inside Virell’s skyscraper.Vincent had tagged along too, and he was now seated across from me. He had ordered food and drinks and was trying to calm me down with a few words because it was obvious that I was annoyed.He looked genuinely surprised when he found out tha

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   031| A Business Proposal

    ~TYLA~I sat at my desk, trying to focus on a new piece of data tracking logic.But my mind kept wandering back to that private lounge at the skyscraper.I could still hear little Elowen's heartbreaking cries.For some reason, my thoughts wandered back to that intense moment when Cassian accidental
