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

~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 021| The Lion’s Den
~TYLA~The Virell Corporation tower stood above the city.Standing at the entrance, I had to tilt my head back just to see the top.The building was much taller than the others around it. It wasn’t hard to see who owned the city. The tower said it all.When Vincent and I walked through the main ent
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 020| Another Meeting
~TYLA~.I sat back in my leather chair. I stared blankly at the double monitors, but my mind wasn’t on the lines of code today.I took a sip from my coffee as I tried to focus.I was still thinking about the relentless buzzing of my phone from the day before.Matt had tried to reach me multiple tim
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 019| Something is Slipping Away
~OLIVIA~Matt was standing outside in the evening air.He seemed a million miles away and that has been that way ever since the gala.I picked up a cup of warm tea and walked out to the terrace. Matt didn't even turn around when I approached."Matt, darling," I said sweetly, placing the cup on the
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 018| The Call
~TYLA~It was time to focus. I pulled my chair closer, resting my chin in my hand as I scrolled through the old Project Genesis databases.I had been terrified that five years away would make me rusty but to my surprise, the moment my fingers touched the keyboard, the old muscle memory kicked right
