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 038| The Investigation
~CASSIAN~The folder Marcus dropped on my desk looked very thick which enough made me even more interested about Tyla.I leaned back in my leather chair. I stared at the black cover while Marcus stood on the other side of the desk. He looked tired."Is that everything?" I asked."Yes, Mr. Virell," Marcus said. "But the data does not match what we thought. There is no corporate spy angle."I narrowed my eyes. "What do you mean?""She was married for the last five years," Marcus explained. "She married Matthew Wilson, the CEO of the Wilson Group. But the marriage was completely hidden from the public. She worked as his personal assistant for four years, she sat at a tiny desk outside his office to maintain public image and never for once had they been intimate in public. Also, she lived in a guest room in his house."I stared at the papers. My jaw tightened. How would any reasonable man treat his own wife like that?"Why did he hide his own wife?""It was more or less like an arranged m
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 037| The Question
~MATT~The word choose still lingered in my head.It sat heavily in my chest, making it hard to breathe.I couldn’t stay in that dining room anymore and neither was the villa in general where I wanted to stay for now.Looking at Kenny’s hunched shoulders only made the guilt in my chest worsen. I couldn't face Grandma's glares either.I grabbed my car keys from the hook by the door. "Kenny," I said, my voice softer than usual. "Get your sneakers on. We are going out."He blinked up at me, surprised. "Where are we going, Daddy?""Anywhere you want," I replied, opening the front door.Twenty minutes later, we were sitting in a brightly lit diner somewhere around the city.Tyla had always kept Kenny on a strict and healthy diet especially on a weeknight but tonight, I didn't care about the rules.I ordered him a big double-cheeseburger, a mountain of french fries, alongside a big bowl of chocolate ice cream that had a lot of colorful sprinkles.Kenny’s eyes widened to the size of saucers
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 014| Hitting The Wrong Person II
~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
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 013| Hitting the Wrong Person I
~TYLA~“The layout of your latest server design is impressive, Mr. Harrison,” I said, swirling the champagne in my glass. “But if you don’t increase the data capacity at the core level, the system could struggle under heavy enterprise traffic.”The middle-aged investor stared at me, his eyes widene
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 012| A New Woman
~OLIVIA~Matt had invited me to the gala as his partner. I was so shocked when he first brought it up.For years, he had never taken his actual wife out to a single public event because he didn’t want to be seen with her. Yet, he was doing this for me so easily, without me even having to ask. The f
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 011| The Gala
~TYLA~I stared at my reflection, looking at a totally different person right in front of me.Vivian stepped back. Her face glowed with pride as she gently adjusted the shoulder of my dress."See? I told you," Vivian squealed, clasping her hands together.“You look so stunning, Tyla. You finally l
