Dave POV

That was it.

That was where the conversation had been heading all along.

Not the breach.

Not the clients.

Me.

The meeting dragged on after that, but not in a productive way. It circled, repeated, escalated, and eventually ended without resolution, just tension stretched thinner across everyone in the room.

The next day was worse.

The stock had dropped further. The media had picked it up. The narrative was no longer contained. It was everywhere, and it wasn’t in our contro

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

    Lydia POVAnd suddenly I was no longer just a tired mother emotionally surviving birthday week.I was back in strategy mode.“What are you currently doing for visibility?”She blinked and said“…Nothing consistent.”I nodded immediately.“Okay. That’s your first problem.”Then I started breaking it down for her properly.“You need emotional branding before product branding,” I explained, pulling her Instagram page up on my phone. “Right now your page looks pretty, but it doesn’t feel personal enough.”She leaned forward immediately.“What do you mean?”“People buy stories before products now,” I told her. “You built this company from your room at seventeen. Why is that not your entire internet personality?”Her eyes widened slightly.“Oh.”“You need founder content. Process videos. Customer reactions. Packaging clips. Behind the scenes chaos. Let people emotionally attach themselves to your growth.”She stared at me like I had unlocked government secrets.Then I continued.“You also n

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

    Lydia’s POVThe countdown was no longer abstract anymore.It felt real now.Four days to six had already happened, and somehow the closer we got to their birthday, the more emotional I became over the smallest things. I called the twins downstairs that evening after work, pretending to sound casual about it even though I was ridiculously excited.Ava appeared first, suspicious immediately.Eli came running behind her like a tiny overenthusiastic politician arriving for a campaign rally.“Wait,” Ava said slowly, narrowing her eyes at the table. “You got us another gift?”I looked offended instantly.“She thinks I would forget.”Eli gasped dramatically.“Mom would never.”“Exactly,” I said proudly. “Thank you, Eli. Finally someone respects me in this house.”Ava ignored both of us completely as her eyes landed on the two boxes sitting neatly on the dining table.Then she blinked.“Oh.”The excitement on her face softened into something quieter.Curiosity.I loved that expression on her.

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

    Lydia POV Then Eli immediately after. “We are ready” I stepped out of the bathroom slowly, still holding my towel. “Okayy,” I answered. Instant chaos. Eli physically jumped. Ava clapped once like she had personally been waiting for this moment her entire life. “The designer is coming?” Ava asked suspiciously. “Yes.” Eli narrowed his eyes immediately. “Is she nice?” “I do not know,” I admitted honestly. “But she is professional.” Ava nodded seriously. “That is acceptable.” I sighed deeply. Children. The rest of the morning disappeared embarrassingly fast. Breakfast negotiations. Outfit changes. Eli insisting he looked “more creatively prepared” in mismatched socks. Ava trying to brush her own hair and somehow making herself look like she had survived a small electrical accident. By noon, the house already felt charged with anticipation. Then the doorbell rang. And honestly? I immediately knew from the sound alone that this was not an ordinary person arriving. Some

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   4 days to 6

    Lydia POVAfter the entire chaos with Dave yesterday, I had made a very firm decision in my head.Firm. Final. Emotional boundary level firm.He was not seeing the kids again until their birthday.Because honestly, I could not keep doing this emotional rollercoaster where one minute I was theoretically co parenting and the next minute I was one sentence away from dragging someone into court.I was tired.Properly tired.So I went to bed that night telling myself distance was peace.And then I woke up the next morning to two tiny humans standing directly over my face like miniature investigators conducting a wellness check.“Good morning, Mom,” Ava said softly.I blinked awake slowly.Eli was already climbing onto my bed like he financially contributed to the mortgage.“Thank you for yesterday,” he said seriously.I paused immediately.“Huh?”Ava nodded beside him with unnecessary sincerity.“Yes. Thank you.”I sat up slowly, confused already.“Wait. Hold on. Thank you for what exactly

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

    Lydia POVMy mood shifted almost instantly. Not visibly. But internally? Immediate irritation.I walked past him casually like I had not noticed him standing there.“Hi kids.”“Hi,” they answered awkwardly from behind me.Dave’s voice followed quieter this time. Careful.“Hi.”I nodded once politely. Barely.The twins were not even looking at him and honestly that gave me a small guilty satisfaction I refused to examine too closely.Dave shifted slightly closer, watching them now.“So what’s happening today?” he asked, lowering himself closer to their level. “What are you both unboxing?”Eli did not even look up properly.“It’s our birthday in five days,” he explained casually. “So mum is doing a birthday gift countdown till that day.”Dave paused.His fingers slowed slightly where they rested against one of the puzzle cards.“Countdown?”I turned toward him finally.“Their birthday is in five days.”The room shifted subtly after that. Tiny. But noticeable.Because suddenly Dave went

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   5 days to 6

    Lydia’s POVA month ago, I was sitting in my office at almost noon reviewing a multimillion naira proposal while simultaneously researching educational birthday gifts designed to psychologically challenge six year olds.Honestly.My life had become ridiculous.But the internet had annoyed me the previous night. I had been scrolling absentmindedly after work when I stumbled across a video of teachers complaining that children now relied on artificial intelligence for everything. Homework. Writing. Thinking. Creativity.One woman dramatically said, “Kids don’t even struggle through ideas anymore. They outsource thinking immediately.”And weirdly enough, that stayed with me.Because no.Not my children.Ava and Eli were naturally curious. Naturally intelligent. I refused to let convenience flatten that instinct out of them before adulthood could even get the chance. So naturally, like every emotionally committed mother with access to money and overdeveloped attachment issues, I took thin
