ADRIAN

I sat in my office, looking at the envelope the courier had dropped on my desk with a polite nod.

The return address belonged to a law firm, possibly the one Lydia had hired and inside I found the official divorce petition.

She had really gone ahead and filed the stuff without my consent.

Everything had already been processed through the courts—moving forward whether I cooperated or not.

I should have felt relieved.

This was exactly what I wanted, wasn't it?

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Blackwell   Chapter 30

    LUCAS' POVI was in my office late Monday evening when a knock came on the door and my head just lifted from the pile of work sitting on my office desk."Yes?" I called just before the second knock came on the door. The door knob turned and Morgan stepped into the doorway of my office."Sorry to disturb you sir, but there is a lady here to see you and she says that it is very urgent," she said as she stepped aside."Who is th—" I started to ask. And the words died in my mouth when Lydia walked into my office looking exhausted. I pushed back from my desk."Lydia," I whispered her name, standing abruptly from my revolving chair.I knew immediately that something was wrong because she was just managing herself carefully, holding it all together like someone who was close to the edge.There were dark circles under her eyes and she looked so tired and frail. Even I could see her hands were shaking slightly."Lydia, are you alright?" I asked before taking a step forward with wide eyes."Lu

    LYDIA'S POV This saturday morning felt different from every other morning since my rebirth.I sat at my kitchen table reviewing the documents for the final account transfer which was spread out before me. A cup of coffee which had already gone cold was situated right at my elbow.This was the last of the account transfer documents and after I was done everything would now be under Lydia Vale. Not Darnell. Not Blackwell. It would all be mine. From the safety deposit box that held the original copies of every transaction and every other piece of evidence against Vanessa to the assets I had acquired.Completely mine.Sweet marred my furrowed brows while I carefully worked through each of the many pages—checking every name and number. When I worked last this and reached the final signature line, I signed it and set the pen down to look at what I had done.Lydia Vale. The name sat at the bottom like a prize and the announcement of my achievement.They would never be able to reach m

    VANESSA'S POV"That was when the fashion bloggers asked her to just give a direct confirmation of the dating rumours," Fiona said in my ears.My phone was pressed to my left ear and I paced my bedroom while Fiona droned on about some useless gossip. This wasn't my problem. My exact worry now was that Lydia had managed to escape from every trap that we had set. Was it the embezzlement frame-up which I pushed her it? It had failed, woefully. Not even as bad as the financial theft I had set up that had easily gotten blocked. She was thriving at that architecture firm while the family business was now rapidly beginning to crumble around the edges.It was infuriating. "Vanessa!" Fiona suddenly screamed until my ears and taking off guard.My ears vibrated from the loud sound even as my body shook from being startled."What?" I screamed back into the receiver before my legs halted in my pacing."Are you even listening to me?" She asked in a voice that sounded slightly offended.I let out

    ADRIAN'S POVLydia did not flinch—that was the first and only thing I noticed as her reaction. If this was a year ago, she would have quickly taken a step back and would have instantly made herself smaller. Now she just stood on the other side of the table with that bastard and looked at me with an expression so unbothered that it literally made my skin feel cold.Something was so wrong and so off about all of this—her look, her reaction, even the atmosphere I had stepped into.What was going on between these two? "Adrian," she said in a voice that was even and clipped. "What are you doing here?"My brows rose."I should be the one asking that," I snapped at her. "What are you doing here with him, Lydia? And at this ungodly hour too?" I looked at Lucas. "What are you doing with my wife, you bastard?" I said through gritted teeth.I took a step forward."Don't," Lydia said with warning eyes as she stepped forward to glare at me.Rage boiled my blood."You were supposed to be at th

    ADRIAN'S POVThe invitation to the Blackwell Industries charity gala I picked up and set back down had been sitting on my desk ever since Monday.Ten years of attending this event. Ten years of Lydia standing beside me in whatever dress I had approved, smiling at whoever I pointed her toward. This year should have been no different.But it was.Lydia wasn't taking her calls.Lydia wasn't looking my way.Lydia didn't even plan to show up.My clenched fists slammed in the table, right against the colourful invitation."Damn that woman!" I hissed. I reached for my phone in my pocket and pulled it out in order to call her.It rang.There were about four rings before I was directed right to her voicemail.I called again—same result.Rage simmered deep down inside of me when I set the phone down on the office desk and simply smoothed my silk tie."There had better be a good excuse for all of these stuffs she is acting," I whispered and typed out a text message instead.[Lydia: The charity

    LYDIA'S POV I was getting ready for a date with Lucas at some kind of outdoor event thingy.Lucas had casually mentioned it to me the afternoon before which was a Friday while leaning against my office doorway the way he did when he was trying to seem like something was not a big deal."You know, Lydia," he had begun. That was when I looked up and let my eyes scan over his sexy contoured body.Focus, my mind scolded me."There is this outdoor jazz concert which will hold by tomorrow evening. A few of us from the firm are going to be there."My eyes returned to my keyboard as I began to type away from where I had stopped previously before taking a peek."Hmm," I said, pretending to not understand that I was being invited.There was silence for a moment before he finally spoke again in a low voice."Maybe you should come too."I had said yes to him after because a few people from the firm sounded safe.It wasn't going to be just us.What could go wrong?Everything, my brain sighed.Bu
