~TYLA~

Vincent didn’t move.

The deep sound of his voice brought a sudden, heavy silence over the entire lobby.

The staff stopped moving immediately, keeping their folders and tablets completely still as they felt the shift in the room.

Vincet stood completely frozen by the executive elevators, his dark eyes locked onto me.

Under his intense stare and the eyes of everyone in the room, I felt completely vulnerable.

I pulled the strap of my bag tighter against my simple coat, feeling completely ex

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   054| A Drunk Cassian

    ~Tyla~After the conversation with Cassian, I went back to the guest room and decided to take a thorough bath.By the time I finally stepped out of the bathroom and changed into a fresh set of clothes, a young maid was already waiting for me in the bedroom.She had brought up a large tray filled with fresh, warm food.I sat down at the small table by the window and ate.Shortly after I finished eating, a knock came on the door, and Dr. Collins stepped inside to check on me one last time.He took my pulse, checked my temperature, and nodded with a satisfied smile.He confirmed that my vital signs were completely normal and said my sudden collapse was the result of accumulated stress.He advised me to get plenty of proper rest.He packed his stethoscope back into his medical bag, gave me a polite nod, and left the room.But the moment the doctor closed the door behind him, I noticed how unusually quiet the entire mansion felt.I walked around the large guest room, looking out into the e

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   053| Waking Up

    ~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

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   052| The drugged tea

    ~Cassian~I opened my mouth to tease her, but the words died in my throat.Tyla's breathing turned shallow.She let out a shaky sigh, and her body swayed against mine.The playful look in her eyes disappeared. I looked at her and realised she had started sweating."Cassian..." she whispered, as her hands clutched the front of my shirt. "It's too hot. Why is is so hot in here?""Tyla, are you okay? How are you feeling?”Tyla stepped closer until her body was pressed against my chest.She tilted her head back and stared at my lips.A soft whimper escaped her as her fingers slipped into my hair, pulling my face toward hers."You're cold," she whispered, her lips barely a breath from mine. "Let me kiss you. Just a little. Please."My heart slammed against my ribs.Something was obviously wrong with her. But the way she was holding me and pleading with me made her impossible to resist."Tyla, stop. You're not well," I growled, as I grabbed her wrists to pull them away from my hair."I don'

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   051| A Lying Tyla

    ~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

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   050| Cassian’s girlfriend?

    ~Tyla~The next morning, my fever was completely gone.I opened my eyes and realised the bed was empty. Cassian and Elowen had already gotten up.The bedroom was quiet.I stood up and headed to the bathroom to wash my face.I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday, which looked wrinkled and messy.I walked down the long hallway and took the stairs to the main floor.Before I could reach the dining room, I heard voices coming from the living area.One voice was Cassian’s rumble. The other was a high-pitched woman's voice."Cassian, you can't be serious," the woman said, her voice sounding irritated. "You didn't answer my calls all night. I was worried sick.""I was busy, Linda," Cassian replied. His voice was completely cold and distant."Busy with what? Or should I say, with whom?" she snapped.I paused at the bottom of the stairs.I didn't want to intrude on a private conversation, but to get to the other door, I had to walk right past them.I took a deep breath and stepped into

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   049| The Bed is big enough

    ~Tyla~"No, Elowen," Cassian said immediately.He sounded like it was an outrageous and terrifying idea.“I am going back to my room. You are safe here with Tyla.""No!" Elowen whimpered, her small fingers tightening around my nightshirt while her other hand reached blindly out toward him. "Don't go. The thunder is going to shake the house again. Please, Daddy. Stay."Cassian rubbed the back of his neck, looking completely overwhelmed.He was a man who could command entire boardrooms and control millions of dollars with a single word, but right now, a terrified five-year-old girl had him completely defeated.He looked at the bed, then his eyes shifted to me, questioning."I don't mind," I murmured, my voice still raspy from the fever.I patted the empty space on the other side of the mattress. "The bed is big enough. And Elowen can stay right here in the middle."Cassian stared at me for a long moment. He searched my face to see if I was just being polite.When he saw I was serious, h

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   018| The Call

    ~TYLA~It was time to focus. I pulled my chair closer, resting my chin in my hand as I scrolled through the old Project Genesis databases.I had been terrified that five years away would make me rusty but to my surprise, the moment my fingers touched the keyboard, the old muscle memory kicked right

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   017| Welcome Back

    ~TYLA~Vincent was already waiting for me near the elevators, holding two cups of coffee.The moment his eyes landed on me, he smiled and approached me."Look at you," he said, carefully handing me a cup. "You look like the boss you were always meant to be."I took a sip. I was a bit nervous but th

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   015| To Hate Cassian Virell

    ~Tyla~Vincent, who was completely oblivious to the anger crackling between the two of us, stepped forward with a smile as he gestured towards him.“Tyla, let me introduce you. This is Cassian Virell, he controls the entire international shipping and logistics grid.”I almost rolled my eyes at the

    ~OLIVIA~Matt was standing outside in the evening air.He seemed a million miles away and that has been that way ever since the gala.I picked up a cup of warm tea and walked out to the terrace. Matt didn't even turn around when I approached."Matt, darling," I said sweetly, placing the cup on the
