Lydia POV

Too tired to perform dignity in front of people who had already decided where I ranked.

So I did the only thing I could do without embarrassing myself further.

I stepped back.

And let it die.

The guests arrived in waves.

Laughter filled the house.

Glasses clinked.

Voices layered over each other.

Everyone complimented the setup that no longer felt like mine.

Cyn floated through the room like a co-host.

Dave stayed just near enough to be seen and just far enough to

I know, I wouldn’t have waited around for him to show up late, let alone treat me this way. That so called “friend” would also be in the hospital now. I would also be seeing a lawyer to have that marriage dissolved immediately.

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

    Theo’s POVI dropped my keys onto my desk and loosened the collar of my shirt, but instead of sitting down to work, I stood there staring at the city through the glass windows of my office. The lights below blurred into a thousand tiny points, cars moving between buildings, people rushing toward homes and dinners and lives that had absolutely nothing to do with mine.My mind, unfortunately, had decided to stay at Lydia’s house.More specifically, it had decided to stay on the moment Dave had asked who I was.I could still hear her voice.I walked back to my desk and opened my laptop.The screen illuminated the room.I stared at it.Then opened my email.Scrolled through a few messages.Closed it.Opened a financial report.Read exactly two lines.Closed that too.I leaned back in my chair.“This is ridiculous.”My assistant would have agreed.I was a man who could negotiate a multimillion-dollar acquisition without blinking. I could sit across from a boardroom full of executives and d

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   I was in love

    Theo POV She blinked at me. “You’re always welcome, but… I literally saw you yesterday.” “I know.” “And yet here you are.” I couldn’t help smiling. “I’m a very busy man, as you know. Unfortunately, my schedule has brought me back to your doorstep.” She looked at the package . “Should I be worried?” “Not at all. Anna sent me.” The suspicion disappeared from her face and was immediately replaced by amusement. “What did she do now?” “She sent these.” I lifted the package. “She said she promised you some homemade pickles.” The expression that crossed her face nearly made me laugh. “Pickles?” “Yes.” “Homemade pickles?” “Yes.” “The same pickles I can buy at a supermarket in less than five minutes?” I laughed under my breath. “Apparently.” “And probably for less than whatever she spent on that ridiculous packaging?” “I wouldn’t know.” She took the package from me, shaking her head. “Because she made it sound like she was sending me some rare delicacy from a village in

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

    Lydia POVI didn’t turn around immediately.“Who?”“Theo.”I slowly placed the pickle back on my plate.Then I turned.Dave was standing near the kitchen counter, watching me.“What about him?”“I don’t know him.”“That sounds like a personal problem.”His eyebrows pulled together.“Lydia.”I sighed. “What?”“Who is he?”I stared at him for a moment.There it was.That tone.That subtle expectation that because we had once been married, he automatically deserved access to every part of my life.“Why?”“Because he’s here.”“So?”“He came to your house.”“Yes.”“He seems familiar with you.”I gave him a look.“I’m sorry. Am I supposed to submit a guest list to you?”“That isn’t what I’m saying.”“Because it sounds exactly like what you’re saying.”His jaw tightened.“I just want to know who spends time around my children.”“And you think I’m careless enough to bring random people around them?”“I didn’t say that.”“You didn’t have to.”The words came out sharper than I intended.For a s

    Lydia POV“Hi, Theo, why are you here?” I said again He smiled. “Aren’t I welcome in your home?”I blinked. “You’re always welcome, but… I literally saw you yesterday.”“I know.”“And yet here you are.”“Yes.” His smile widened, completely unapologetic. “I’m a very busy man, as you know. Unfortunately, my schedule has brought me back to your doorstep.”I looked at the package in his hand. “Should I be worried?”“Not at all. Anna sent me.”Of course she did.I leaned against the doorframe and folded my arms. “What did she do now?”“She sent these.” He lifted the package slightly. “She said she promised you some homemade pickles.”I stared at him.Then at the package.Then back at him.“Pickles?”“Yes.”“Homemade pickles?”“Yes.”“The same pickles I can buy at a supermarket in less than five minutes?”Theo laughed under his breath. “Apparently.”“And probably for less than whatever she spent on that ridiculous packaging?”“I wouldn’t know.”“Because she made it sound like she was sendi

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

    Dave POVThe acquisition had consumed the better part of my month.Every day seemed to begin with another meeting and end with another document waiting for my signature. We were upgrading several of our internal systems at the same time, which meant dealing with engineers, consultants, lawyers, investors, department heads, and enough technical jargon to make me question whether I had accidentally enrolled in another university degree. On top of that, government approval was still hanging over the entire project, and anyone who had ever dealt with government processes knew exactly what that meant: paperwork, meetings, revisions, more paperwork, and the occasional phone call that somehow created three more problems instead of solving the original one.I should have been focused entirely on it.Instead, there was a date sitting quietly at the back of my mind.This month.I was seeing my children this month.I didn’t care how complicated the acquisition became. I didn’t care how many meet

    I heard him laughing. My stomach tightened. I didn’t know why that bothered me. I had no reason for it to bother me. Still… Something inside me shifted unpleasantly. I knocked. The room went quiet. “Come in.” I opened the door. Lydia looked toward me. Her phone was still in her hand. I smiled politely. “I just wanted to say goodnight.” Her expression softened. “Goodnight, Theo.” I hesitated. “I also wanted to apologize again.” “You don’t have to.” “I know.” “Your kids are incredible.” She smiled. “They are.” I looked back at her. For one strange second, I wanted to say something else. Something about Miranda. Something about Dave. Something about the way hearing his name had suddenly made me feel like a man who had no business feeling anything at all. Instead, I swallowed it. “Goodnight.” “Goodnight.” I left. The moment the door closed behind me, I stood in the hallway. What the hell was wrong with me? Why did the tho

    Bernard stepped in, hands clasped neatly in front of him.“I apologize for disturbing you, ma’am. I came by earlier, but there was no response.”I rubbed my eyes. “I was asleep.”“Yes, ma’am.”He said it so respectfully that I almost felt bad for sounding irritated.Almost.“Would you like dinner?”
