All Chapters of Too Late For Us, Mr Ashford : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Elena's POV. My feet came to a halt gently when I approached Diego's room. I expected to see him asleep but was colored shock when he jumped into my arms immediately. "Mommy I couldn't sleep." Never had I felt like a failure as much as I did in that very moment. I couldn't blame myself directly, it was only because I wanted to make his life better that was why I took this job and I didn't regret it one bit. "I know." I patted his head, "I know I should not have stayed out so long like that. It's not a good thing. I'm sorry do you forgive me?" I queried. Diego was not someone to ever hold grudges against anyone but in the meantime I needed to make him realize that his safety came first. "Yeah, yeah. I was just worried when I didn't see you Mom." He confided. Well since that was settled there was nothing else left for me to say. I would only make sure to return as early as possible so that he didn't get used to the fact that it was right for me to stay up so late. "I see...

Marcus. Nobody had the right to break into my house and I meant exactly no one. I didn't think that anybody was going to try to get on my last nerve when the woman that made my heart race was in that house. I might have lied that I had everything under control but I wanted to believe that my security was tight enough to repel any form of craziness. "Toby, what the hell is happening inside the house?" How she was able to realize that somebody had broken into the house when Toby who was saddled with that responsibility didn't say anything would forever be a mystery to me. Unless there was something that I did not figure out immediately and it irritated me to my core. How did I not know that someone was trying to break in or someone was trying to do something crazy? "I have everything under control sir." He responded immediately from the monitor. "The room has already been locked and nobody is allowed to go in and out. I wanted to sort out everything before bringing it to

Marcus. "Stop that!" Elena's voice from the top of the stairs distracted me for a second. Why did she even come out of the room after I had expressly told her not to?! "Ooh, the ever sacrificial wife." Carnegie cooed like he had just hit the jackpot. "Elena." This stupid guy would get Elena's name out of his mouth. "Are you willing to take a bullet for him? I don't guarantee you that it would be able to tell him how much you love him afterward." Carnegie looked like he had lost his mind and I didn't want to play silly games with someone who had nothing to lose. In games like this I could already predict how it would end. Somebody was bound to lose his life and I intended for it to be him. My CCTV cameras were working so the police force would have concrete evidence that I wasn't the one who began the fight. "Why are you here?" "You're asking me why I decided to come visit my long lost friend? What kind of question is that?" Carnegie responded. He had a knack for acting

Elena's POV. I froze instantly at the accusation. It wasn't because I wasn't happy with it, but the facts that I wanted to keep everything under a wrap. Most people were already suspicious of our relationship and if it was leaked to the media that Marcos had made mistakes in the past it could be used against his political ambition. My first contact with the people who had called themselves important, who was the fact that there were too many things lacking behind. In fact all I needed was some peace and quiet and nothing that reminded me of what I had lost. "So you think that she is suddenly going to forget everything that you've done to her and welcome you with open arms? Is that how daft you think she is?" This was overstretching, but I heard the sounds of sirens in the background. Carnegie must have heard it too, because his spine straightened immediately. This was exactly what I had been hoping for. he had lost the opportunity to escape when he had it. "Calling the co

Marcus. The meeting was exceptionally lengthy today. "Why do you have that expression?" I queried Toby as soon as the meeting ended. I had noticed him trying to catch my attention but failed woefully at it. "Apparently Elena got to school before the driver did. I don't think she appreciates anyone ruling her life with an iron fist." Toby was my right hand man but even at the same time he couldn't understand the complications between me and that woman. To him she was just being problematic when I knew I was the one who had caused her to go down this drain. "And what's that supposed to mean?""I relate your order clearly but it seems that she had a hard time understanding it. I don't know why and what she wants to prove." If he was speaking this way then it meant that he had absolutely no idea what Elena was capable of. She was the most docile woman you could meet until it was time for her to show you that she had some strength. My mother had spoken ill about her and I understoo
