~Tyla~

My head was spinning so badly I could barely stand.

The moment I stepped into the living room, everything felt heavy.

I couldn't stop thinking about what Matt had just told me.

“Come back for the sake of our son. He is always crying for you.”

His words kept looping in my mind.

I knew Matt was just trying to mess with my head.

I didn't regret leaving that miserable marriage, and I absolutely hated him now.

But picturing my five-year-old boy starving and crying because I wasn't there broke

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   055| His Wife’s Killer

    ~Tyla~I didn't sleep for a single second.Every time I closed my eyes, the image of Linda wrapping her arms around Cassian's neck flashed behind my eyelids.The memory of the maid's words about the loud noises coming from the master wing felt like ice blocks released in my veins.I had started to trust Cassian over the past few days, but that trust shattered the moment I saw what happened.He came home drunk, bringing another woman with him after convincing me to stay for a few days.He did it while his daughter, who clearly couldn’t stand the woman, was in the house.And worst of all, the woman he brought home was his ex-wife’s sister.I lay in the bed, staring at the ceiling, forcing myself to face reality.I couldn't stop asking myself why I was even bothered.Why did it hurt so much?Cassian was the billionaire our company was dying to collaborate with.And I was just here to teach his daughter to open her heart.Who he slept with, or how he spent his nights, was absolutely none

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   054| A Drunk Cassian

    ~Tyla~After the conversation with Cassian, I went back to the guest room and decided to take a thorough bath.By the time I finally stepped out of the bathroom and changed into a fresh set of clothes, a young maid was already waiting for me in the bedroom.She had brought up a large tray filled with fresh, warm food.I sat down at the small table by the window and ate.Shortly after I finished eating, a knock came on the door, and Dr. Collins stepped inside to check on me one last time.He took my pulse, checked my temperature, and nodded with a satisfied smile.He confirmed that my vital signs were completely normal and said my sudden collapse was the result of accumulated stress.He advised me to get plenty of proper rest.He packed his stethoscope back into his medical bag, gave me a polite nod, and left the room.But the moment the doctor closed the door behind him, I noticed how unusually quiet the entire mansion felt.I walked around the large guest room, looking out into the e

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   053| Waking Up

    ~Tyla~I opened my eyes, feeling exhausted.Every part of my body felt heavy but as I looked around the dim room, trying to recall where I was at and how I got there, the memories rushed back into my mind.My cheeks burned red as I remembered everything that had transpired.I remembered spilling the tea, then the sudden rush of heat in my stomach, and how I went from being completely fine to feeling crazed and desperate the next second.I remembered grabbing Cassian’s shirt, pulling him down, and begging him to kiss me.I had pressed myself against him, begging for his touch and whining like a shameless woman.I buried my face in my hands, groaning.I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole.How would I face him?Speaking of the devil, I realised that Cassian was here too.His face was devoid of emotions and I could only clench my jaw.He must be laughing at me in his head.Or he must be thinking maybe truly, I wanted to climb his bed to secure my way to the top."You're fina

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   052| The drugged tea

    ~Cassian~I opened my mouth to tease her, but the words died in my throat.Tyla's breathing turned shallow.She let out a shaky sigh, and her body swayed against mine.The playful look in her eyes disappeared. I looked at her and realised she had started sweating."Cassian..." she whispered, as her hands clutched the front of my shirt. "It's too hot. Why is is so hot in here?""Tyla, are you okay? How are you feeling?”Tyla stepped closer until her body was pressed against my chest.She tilted her head back and stared at my lips.A soft whimper escaped her as her fingers slipped into my hair, pulling my face toward hers."You're cold," she whispered, her lips barely a breath from mine. "Let me kiss you. Just a little. Please."My heart slammed against my ribs.Something was obviously wrong with her. But the way she was holding me and pleading with me made her impossible to resist."Tyla, stop. You're not well," I growled, as I grabbed her wrists to pull them away from my hair."I don'

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   051| A Lying Tyla

    ~Tyla~I stood frozen in the hallway, my mind completely blank.I had no idea what to do. Maybe they had made a mistake.I had been an orphan for as long as I could remember.I grew up in the orphanage, spending years fighting just to survive.There was no way I had a biological family somewhere in the world who had simply abandoned me to such a miserable life.Yet those words wouldn’t stop echoing inside my head.All my life, Matthew and his mother had treated me like I was worthless because I had no family name.They looked down on me, constantly reminding me that I didn’t belong in their world, making me feel as though I should be grateful just to breathe the same air as them.And now…Someone was telling me that I had never been an orphan at all.No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t bring myself to believe it.I took a deep breath and forced myself to walk away from the study door.I couldn't let Cassian or Marcus know I had heard them. I needed to keep my head clear.I wal

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   050| Cassian’s girlfriend?

    ~Tyla~The next morning, my fever was completely gone.I opened my eyes and realised the bed was empty. Cassian and Elowen had already gotten up.The bedroom was quiet.I stood up and headed to the bathroom to wash my face.I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday, which looked wrinkled and messy.I walked down the long hallway and took the stairs to the main floor.Before I could reach the dining room, I heard voices coming from the living area.One voice was Cassian’s rumble. The other was a high-pitched woman's voice."Cassian, you can't be serious," the woman said, her voice sounding irritated. "You didn't answer my calls all night. I was worried sick.""I was busy, Linda," Cassian replied. His voice was completely cold and distant."Busy with what? Or should I say, with whom?" she snapped.I paused at the bottom of the stairs.I didn't want to intrude on a private conversation, but to get to the other door, I had to walk right past them.I took a deep breath and stepped into

    ~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,

    ~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
