Lydia POV

“I think this might actually work.”

“It will work,” I corrected calmly. “If you stop responding emotionally and start responding strategically.”

She laughed tiredly.

“You know what’s scary?”

“What?”

“You sound like you could fix governments.”

“I probably could,” I replied honestly.

That made her burst into laughter again.

Then after the call ended successfully, I finally looked down at my phone again.

A message from Dave.

I stared at it for a few seconds already exhausted emotionally.

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

    Lydia POVAnd before he could respond, I ended the call.Immediately.Because if I listened any longer, I was genuinely afraid I would start emotionally processing things I had carefully avoided for years.The silence afterward felt loud.Too loud.I sat there for several minutes staring blankly at nothing while my thoughts fought each other violently.One part of me wanted to protect the twins from uncertainty entirely.Another part quietly wondered if I was protecting myself more than them.That thought annoyed me instantly.So naturally, instead of processing my emotions like a healthy adult, I called Dr. Sana.Because if there was one thing I had learned in therapy, it was this:When your brain starts sounding like five different people arguing inside one room, involve a professional.She answered after the second ring.“Well,” she said immediately, amusement already in her voice, “this sharp interruption better be important because technically this is my lunch break.”I exhaled t

    Lydia POV“I think this might actually work.”“It will work,” I corrected calmly. “If you stop responding emotionally and start responding strategically.”She laughed tiredly.“You know what’s scary?”“What?”“You sound like you could fix governments.”“I probably could,” I replied honestly.That made her burst into laughter again.Then after the call ended successfully, I finally looked down at my phone again.A message from Dave.I stared at it for a few seconds already exhausted emotionally.Honestly?Could this man allow me breathe for forty eight consecutive hours?Apparently not.The message read:Hi Lydia. I hope you and the kids are resting properly now. You planned an amazing party.I rolled my eyes immediately.Because unfortunately?He still spoke exactly the same way.That careful tone.That familiar rhythm.Dangerous nostalgia packaged inside normal sentences.I typed back quickly.Please get to the point. I’m busy.Technically I was not busy anymore.But spiritually?I w

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   A million dollars

    Lydia POVI leaned back in my chair calmly.“You can charge whatever you believe your value is.”“Exactly!”“The problem,” I continued, “is not pricing high. The problem is reputation management after the pricing conversation became public.”She quieted immediately.Because that was the part influencers rarely understood.The internet did not actually care about numbers.It cared about emotional interpretation.People were not angry because she requested a million dollars.People were angry because emotionally, they no longer felt connected to the version of her they originally followed.“There’s a difference,” I explained calmly, “between audiences admiring your success and audiences feeling alienated by it.”She sighed heavily through the speaker.“So what do I even do now? Everybody’s dragging me.”I opened the campaign notes in front of me.“Okay. First thing: reframing.”Silence.Then:“…What does that mean exactly?”“It means we change the emotional framing of the conversation w

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

    Lydia POV“But unfortunately this friendship cannot continue.”I blinked.“What?”She pointed accusingly at Eli.“My son now thinks being a chatterbox is aspirational.”I nearly choked laughing.Meanwhile Eli looked deeply proud of himself.“You’re welcome.”Anna looked at him in disbelief.“No, seriously. He would soon wake me up in the morning asking complicated questions about economics because of you.”“That’s growth.”“That’s stress.”Ava calmly sipped juice beside them.“I personally think Eli is a public health concern.”“Traitor,” Eli gasped.Honestly?The entire table felt warm in a way I still was not fully used to.Not romantic warmth.Not performative social warmth.Just… ease.Comfort.Noise without pressure.For most of my life, I had done everything alone.Handled problems alone.Built things alone.Protected myself alone.Even motherhood somehow became something I carried mostly inside isolation.But this?This felt different.Anna argued loudly while stealing strawber

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   After the partyyy!

    Lydia’s POVThe morning after the birthday party, I woke up expecting destruction.A headache.Body pain.Emotional exhaustion.At least some form of suffering after hosting what essentially became a miniature festival disguised as a children’s birthday party.Instead?Nothing.I actually felt refreshed.Which honestly felt suspicious.I stayed in bed for a few extra seconds staring at the ceiling like my body was trying to trick me into false confidence before collapsing later.But no.I genuinely felt okay.Weird.Then again, I could not even remember the last time I drank alcohol properly. Probably sometime before pregnancy. Motherhood had changed too many things too quietly for me to even notice when they happened.I eventually got up, tied my robe tighter, and walked downstairs.The entire house was spotless.Not “mostly cleaned” spotless.Professionally restored spotless.The floors gleamed. The balloons had disappeared. Gift wrapping was gone. Every trace of the previous night’

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

    Lydia POVBecause how exactly was I supposed to summarize six years of loving these children?I looked toward them standing together near the stage.And God.They looked so small and so big at the same time.“I think,” I began softly, “being your mother has been the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.”The room quieted immediately.“You two changed my life before you could even speak properly. And every single day since then, you’ve continued teaching me things I never expected.”I looked toward Ava.“You are thoughtful in ways that genuinely scare me sometimes.”She laughed immediately while hiding her face.Then I looked at Eli.“And you…” I smiled helplessly. “You make life louder and brighter and more ridiculous.”The guests laughed softly.“I hope both of you grow up knowing one thing very clearly,” I continued quietly. “You were loved loudly from the very beginning.”By the time I finished, I was dangerously close to crying publicly.Which was humiliating.Then somehow
