Lydia POV

I woke up at 4:03 a.m. after Dave called my child an inconvenience with a necktie.

And for the first time in a very long time, my chest did not feel confused.

The kind of clear that only comes after your heart has been broken so thoroughly it finally stops negotiating.

I sat up slowly and looked around the room.

The lavender diffuser still plugged into the wall. The curtains still half drawn. My water glass exactly where I had left it.

Everything looked normal.

And that was the strang

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   Rules

    Lydia’s POV“Oh my God, Lydia…”Dave finally leaned back in his seat like the air had been knocked out of him completely. His hands dragged slowly over his face before settling against his jaw again, and for once, he genuinely looked lost.Not CEO lost.Not corporate scandal lost.Just… human lost.“Please,” he said quietly. “Please, Lydia.”I stayed silent.“I want to be in my children’s lives.”Children.Not pregnancy.Not babies.Children.Real people.I watched him swallow hard before continuing.“I’ve already missed too much.” His voice roughened slightly now. “I missed their first words. Their first steps. Their first birthdays. Their first day of school. Their first everything.” He laughed once under his breath, but there was nothing humorous inside it. “Hell, I didn’t even know they existed while other people were probably teaching them how to ride bikes and helping with homework and showing up for school events.”Something tightened briefly in his expression before he looked

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   Do they know me?

    Lydia’s POVFor a second, I genuinely forgot how to breathe.Not because I didn’t expect this conversation to happen someday. Honestly, somewhere deep down, I had always known this moment would eventually come. Dave Ashton was many things, but he was not a man who stayed buried in the past forever. Eventually, he would ask. Eventually, the truth would stand between us fully formed, impossible to avoid.Still, hearing it out loud felt different.The question landed heavily between us, and I just stared at him for a moment, my fingers tightening slightly around the warm cup of cappuccino sitting untouched in front of me.The moment I used to fear was finally here.And strangely enough… I was not as afraid as I thought I would be.Maybe because of my children.Maybe because I had already told them the truth. Maybe because after that conversation, after hearing Ava and Eli tell me so simply that they were fine with just me, something inside me had settled. Even if this somehow turned into

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   Meeting

    Lydia POVI slept well that night.Like properly well.Not the kind of sleep where your body shuts down but your mind keeps running in circles. Not the kind where you wake up every two hours and stare at the ceiling thinking about things you should have said five years ago. No. I slept. A full eight hours. Deep. Quiet. Peaceful.And honestly? That alone irritated me a little.Because wow.Dave really had been a burden.When I was married to him, he exhausted me emotionally without me even realizing it properly. Then I finally left, rebuilt my life, healed slowly, carefully, painfully… and somehow he still found a way to come back and disturb my peace again.I woke up the next morning lying flat on my bed, staring at the ceiling for a few seconds before laughing softly to myself.“Oh my God,” I muttered. “That man was literally stress.”And for the first time in a long time, I woke up without that tight feeling in my chest.No sleeping pills.No restlessness.Nothing.Just peace.So ma

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   Dad?

    Ava’s POVThe night after we met Dave Ashton in the park.Eli rolled over and asked, “Do you think Mom knows we know?”“She probably suspects,” I whispered back.And honestly? That conversation could’ve gone somewhere emotional or deep or whatever, but instead Eli said, “If she ever tells us officially, let’s just act surprised.”I turned to look at him. “Why?”“Because she clearly wants to say it herself.”And annoyingly enough… he was right.So we agreed.If Mom ever decided to tell us about our father, we’d let her do it her own way.No pressure.No “we already know.”Nothing.Because even if she tried to hide it, you could tell the whole thing hurt her somehow.And if there’s one thing Eli and I are both very serious about, it’s Mom.Always Mom.So when she suddenly started acting suspiciously nice that morning, I already knew something was coming.Breakfast in bed on a weekday?Yeah. Something was definitely happening.Eli knew too.The minute she walked into the room carrying tr

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   My mom

    Ava’s POVYep. It’s me again.So… we know who our dad is now.Not in a big dramatic way or anything. Not like how you’d expect it to happen. We just… met him. At the park. Very random, very normal, like it wasn’t supposed to change anything. And honestly, it didn’t. Not really. We didn’t come home and start asking questions or acting differently. We didn’t even bring it up again after that day.It just… stayed there.Like one of those things you know but don’t touch.I remember thinking he was really good at chess. Like, really good. Not just “oh he’s an adult” good, but actually good. The kind where you can tell he’s thinking ten steps ahead. I noticed it, but I didn’t say anything. Eli didn’t either. We both just kind of… stored it.Because we also knew something else.Mom didn’t want us to get close to him.And when it comes to Mom, there are just some lines you don’t cross. Not because she says it out loud, but because you can feel it.So we left it alone.And honestly, we weren’t

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   Your dad?

    Lydia’s POVThat day just refused to end quietly.I was still irritated when I got home, the kind of irritation that sits under your skin and refuses to go away no matter how hard you try to ignore it. Because what exactly was that? I had just seen Dave, casually standing in a mall like his entire world was not collapsing. I thought his company was in chaos, lawsuits flying around, the board removing him as CEO, appointing an acting one, all those corporate politics he used to breathe and live for. So what exactly was he doing here, in this country, walking around like nothing was happening?It annoyed me more than I wanted to admit.I parked the car a little harder than necessary, stepped out, and walked into the house with that same energy still sitting on my shoulders. Before I could even fully step in, I heard Ava’s voice from the kitchen, loud and expectant.“Mom, where’s my yogurt?”“I’m inside already,” I called back. “I’m bringing it.”I picked up the bags and walked faster i
