All Chapters of TOO LATE TO WANT ME: Chapter 51 - Chapter 59

~Tyla~I stood frozen in the hallway, my mind completely blank.I had no idea what to do. Maybe they had made a mistake.I had been an orphan for as long as I could remember.I grew up in the orphanage, spending years fighting just to survive.There was no way I had a biological family somewhere in the world who had simply abandoned me to such a miserable life.Yet those words wouldn’t stop echoing inside my head.All my life, Matthew and his mother had treated me like I was worthless because I had no family name.They looked down on me, constantly reminding me that I didn’t belong in their world, making me feel as though I should be grateful just to breathe the same air as them.And now…Someone was telling me that I had never been an orphan at all.No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t bring myself to believe it.I took a deep breath and forced myself to walk away from the study door.I couldn't let Cassian or Marcus know I had heard them. I needed to keep my head clear.I wal

~Tyla~I opened my eyes, feeling exhausted.Every part of my body felt heavy but as I looked around the dim room, trying to recall where I was at and how I got there, the memories rushed back into my mind.My cheeks burned red as I remembered everything that had transpired.I remembered spilling the tea, then the sudden rush of heat in my stomach, and how I went from being completely fine to feeling crazed and desperate the next second.I remembered grabbing Cassian’s shirt, pulling him down, and begging him to kiss me.I had pressed myself against him, begging for his touch and whining like a shameless woman.I buried my face in my hands, groaning.I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole.How would I face him?Speaking of the devil, I realised that Cassian was here too.His face was devoid of emotions and I could only clench my jaw.He must be laughing at me in his head.Or he must be thinking maybe truly, I wanted to climb his bed to secure my way to the top."You're fina

~Tyla~I didn't sleep for a single second.Every time I closed my eyes, the image of Linda wrapping her arms around Cassian's neck flashed behind my eyelids.The memory of the maid's words about the loud noises coming from the master wing felt like ice blocks released in my veins.I had started to trust Cassian over the past few days, but that trust shattered the moment I saw what happened.He came home drunk, bringing another woman with him after convincing me to stay for a few days.He did it while his daughter, who clearly couldn’t stand the woman, was in the house.And worst of all, the woman he brought home was his ex-wife’s sister.I lay in the bed, staring at the ceiling, forcing myself to face reality.I couldn't stop asking myself why I was even bothered.Why did it hurt so much?Cassian was the billionaire our company was dying to collaborate with.And I was just here to teach his daughter to open her heart.Who he slept with, or how he spent his nights, was absolutely none

~Tyla~I finally arrived at the office.My entire body was screaming for rest but my mind knew I had a lot of things to do and resting now was a luxury I couldn't afford.And again, I needed to bury myself in work to forget the memories of Linda and Cassian from last night. Not like I care but it was disgusting to think about.Before I could even take off my coat, Vincent rushed into my private office.His face was pale, and he was holding his laptop tightly against his chest.I could tell from his expression that something had gone wrong.“Tyla, you’re back,” Vincent said with relief as he quickly closed the door behind him. “You need to hear this. The police went to Olivia’s apartment to arrest her. ”I paused, my fingers freezing on the buttons of my jacket. “And? Did they arrest her?”“No.” Vincent shook his head in frustration.“Somehow, she found out about the arrest warrant before the police even got to her building. She packed a bag and escaped just in time. She’s officially o

~Tyla~After Cassian left the room, my mind went completely blank.I stood there staring at the closed office door, unable to say a single word.My heart was still beating fast and the feeling of his hand against my cheek felt like it had just been imprinted.I couldn't believe how close I had just come to completely losing my sanity.Vivian stood near the entrance. She was still dazed.The shock on her face was so vivid it was almost comical, but I couldn't bring myself to laugh.She cleared her throat loudly, crossing her arms as she took some steps to my desk."So..." she began, her voice dropping into a teasing tone as she raised an eyebrow at me.“Care to tell me what exactly was going on between the two of you just now?""There was nothing going on," I mumbled quickly, trying to gather the papers scattered on my desk to look busy.My hands were still trembling slightly."He was just talking about the new business partnership. We were discussing the Aegis database."Vivian let ou
