~TYLA~

Cassian.

An arrogant tyrant. That was exactly what he was.

I hadn't cared about his deal when he had shown no interest before in that gala.

But now that he had finally decided to show up, after we had come all the way here, he thought he could just disregard us?

Like I hadn't spent the entire night perfecting this pitch.

Instead of heading straight down to the lobby, I turned a corner into a corridor that branched away from the main executive wing.

I just needed a quiet space to breathe.

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   059| Do not tell Cassian Virell

    ~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

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   058| Are you jealous?

    ~TylaI sat at the boardroom table, my heart pounding as I stared at Cassian standing at the front of the room.Seeing him walk through those doors was shocking enough, but the words that came out of his mouth left me frozen.Just moments ago, the board members had been ready to throw me out.Now, they were smiling, nodding, and praising the opportunity in front of them.A partnership with Virell Group was worth millions, and they couldn't hide their excitement.But unlike everyone else in the room, I wasn't happy.When the meeting ended, I quickly stood up.I grabbed my tablet and then walked straight for the door without looking back.As I passed Cassian, I could feel his eyes on me.He tried to catch my gaze, but I kept my head down and walked right past him.I hurried through the glass hallway and stepped into my office.The moment the door closed behind me, I let out a long breath I hadn't realised I was holding.Finally...I thought I had a few minutes to pull myself together bu

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   057| Her Hero

    ~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

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   056| The Bedroom Noise

    ~Cassian~My head felt like it was splitting entirely in half.I opened my eyes and immediately, a bright light stashed through the curtain.I reached out blindly toward the nightstand, my fingers searching for my phone.I blinked away the blurriness to read the time flashing on the screen.It was 10:00 AM.I sat up slowly. Every single muscle in my body was aching.I rarely ever drank, but last night was a complete disaster.I had met up with my old college friends, intending to have just one drink to clear my mind, before the entire evening spiraled completely out of control.Somewhere around 11pm, Linda had joined the group.Because I was completely out of it and practically unable to walk straight, she was the one who had taken charge and driven me back to the mansion instead of my friends.There was a knock on my door.A young maid stepped into the master suite, her face completely pale.Her eyes glued tightly to the floor when she stood before me."Good morning, Mr. Virell," she

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   055| His Wife’s Killer

    ~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

  • 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    005| Leaving the Past Behind

    ~TYLA~I stared at the papers that the lawyer handed me.“Are you sure about this?” he asked gently.This time around, I nodded. And without a second thought, I signed them.After that, I handed the papers back to him, and he looked through them again.“Did you include Kenny’s custody there?” I ask

    ~TYLA~I couldn’t move.It was as though my legs were rooted to the spot as I watched Olivia immediately bend down to Kenny’s level, ruffling his hair.Kenny’s giggles were like needles pricking at my skin.“Hello dear, buddy.” She greeted him, warmly, “Enjoying your snack?”Kenny nodded. “I love…

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME   003| Mom

    ~TYLA~The doctors reassured us that it was a minor scratch, and grandma had been very lucky.Only then did my fast-beating heart slow down, and I began noticing those around me.The entire Wilson family was gathered in the ward, including Matt’s two cousins, Josh and Benny.“Mother, you cannot kee

    ~TYLA~I knew that my marriage was beyond saving, yet I dressed up beautifully again tonight… hoping he would at least look at me without disgust in his eyes.Yet, when he strolled past the door, reeking of sweat and alcohol, he still had a look of disgust on his face.I rushed toward him to help h
