Coming back Home

Riley

Everything that happened last night felt so clear in her memories... which meant that she had really been reborn!

"Big sister, didn't we promise that after Brother Xavier drank that cup of wine, I would drive him out of the Villa?". Saying this Milly continued to walk toward her, her voice hiding her unhappiness but since Riley was now reborn she could obviously tell.

Riley woke up from her daze, staring at her sister who often visited her at villa ever since the very first day of her marriage.

Without taking notice of the coldness that flashed by Riley's eyes, Milly still continued to grumbled,

"How on earth did you end up sleeping in his bed instead? You didn't stick to the plan". Hearing this Riley smiled sweetly and asked,

"His bed? Isn't this our wedding room? What do you mean by how did I end up in his bed?".

"l'm just anxious for you! Because Now that the plan is messed up, only god knows for how long your divorce will be delayed now!". Saying this she knitted her brows.

Riley continued looking at the suspicious transparent silk outer wear and the intricate makeup she wore and couldn't help but ask herself how she was so dumb then and didn't suspect anything at all. Looking at Milly, Riley asked indifferently,

"Little sis, why did you wear so little? Thank god I didn't have you send him home last night. If anything had happened how would I be able to face our dad and the family?".

"Ah? I.." at this point Milly suddenly felt guilty but she carefully hid the guilt in her eyes.

"It was too hot last night, so I changed into thinner set of clothes."

"It's the beginning of spring, is it that hot?"

"It's not especially hot... But Big sister, since the plan didn't work, I will suggest that if this goes on you should just pretend to suicide!". Milly felt that something was off and quickly changed the topic.

"Oh? Suicide". Riley dragged out the word. Thinking back from the moment Xavier and she had gotten engaged, it was as though Milly had become a different person. She began to often spoke of marriage failures in rich families, bringing up all sorts of examples, causing Riley who did not want to get married to become even more scared and to stay away from Xavier.

"How about cutting your wrist? If he sees that you would rather die than stay by his side, perhaps he would agree to your wish". Milly suggested innocently.

"How can you tell your big sis to do so? Don't you know that doing so will have risks, what if your big sis lose too much blood and no one Comes to save her and she dies won't you be sad?". Riley smiled yet her smile held no warmth whatsoever.

"Aiya, what are you worrying for! Regardless of whether Brother Xavier rushes back on not, the moment it becomes dangerous I will immediately call for a doctor!". Listening to her Riley kept silent, staring suspiciously at Milky who was only a year younger than her.

She could not forget that back when she slit her wrists, lying in that tub filled with hot water, she lost so much blood she could not even move. Even so, Milly did not inform the doctor or even Xavier she just seat there waiting for her to die if not then Xavier had suddenly returned and suspected something was wrong, kicking the door down and carrying her out from that blood-filled tub, she probably would not have lived to obtain the divorce papers that she was foolishly fighting for.

Riley's smile had some degree of coldness it showed both laziness and lack of care.

"Okay, I'Il think about it. However, since I didn't sleep at all last night, right now I want to get some rest". Hearing her say that she did not sleep at all last night, it became so add for Milly hid the jealousy revealed in her eyes and bit her lip.

"Then... you must consider it through. I'll come to find you again tomorrow so we could talk about it."

"All right, I won't send you off". Riley stood unmoving watching Milly disappear from her line of sight.

The room was silent She turned to look at the room that was once deep within her memories. Her hands touched the soft blanket, it was warm as though it still retained the heat left behind by Milly.

So everything could restart again. And now that everything restarted Did she really still want a divorce? Of course not!.

In her past life she was naive and trusting Her relatives bullied her, her marriage was ruined, and her father passed away tragically. She had lost everything and was even wrongly imprisoned.

In this life not only would she be Xavier's wife for the rest of his life, but she would also take back her pride and everything else she once lost. She would not allow herself to be used by anyone again never!.

But right now, the biggest difficulty was she remembered that in her past life, after last night Xavier rarely returned to the their home.

The last time she saw him was the day she woke up after attempting suicide and as she wished he left the divorce papers by her bedside and completely disappeared from her life.

That cold and distant expression of his till this day remains in her mind. Riley raised her hand to hold her temple.

Xavier, that man when he spoiled her he was limitless with his love and when he was cold, he was completely untouchable like an ice mountain.

How would she coax him back now?.

-------------------

In the evening, the CEO's assistant stared in surprise at Riley who suddenly showed up and rushed forward to receive her.

"Miss Riley, why are you here?". Riley did not bother to correct his way of addressing her After all, she once prevented anyone from addressing her as Mrs. Noah She glanced around, asking,

"Is he in the office?". The assistant immediately understood that she was asking for CEO Noah but could not tell if she came to cause trouble for him.

"CEO Noah is currently in a meeting. He will probably need an hour or so before he finishes."

"Okay that's fine. I'll go up and wait for him". After being brought to the CEO office, Riley thanked the Assistant and walked in alone.

It was a modern office space, both large and comfortable The design was simple yet had the effect of seeming luxurious. The most attention grabbing portion was the 270 degrees floor-to-ceiling window. It was clear and bright.

Today's Xavier Noah had yet to take over the family business and was not R & Co's CEO. A few years ago, he set up this technology company and within a short span of three years, he managed to monopolize most of the country's technological resources. The company that was initially worth 500 thousand dollars was now worth 20 billion dollars.

Now that Xavier Noah was already the prominent NO Group's CEO, four years from now when he becomes R & Co International Group's CEO, he would surely become a legend in the corporate world.

Riley waited for nearly an hour yet never once caught sight of him. She barely rested at all last night, and the whole of today was consumed with ruminating about her rebirth. By now, her eyes could no longer remain open for long.

When Xavier Noah returned to his office space, this was the scene he saw:

Riley who wore a thin long dress-laying upon his dark leather sofa with her eyes closed. Her peaceful expression made her seem even more attractive under the warm office light.

Feeling someone's eyes on her, Riley opened her eyes in alarm but quickly became lost in his dark eyes that seemed to stare deeply into hers.

She immediately sat up, gazing up at that man who stood silently in the office. Just as she remembered he stood tall, dressed in a clean pair of suit His figure was perfect to the point that no one could find faults, and his features were equally attractive.

"You're back". Riley stood up.

"En." Xavier only made a sound of agreement as he walked toward his desk. Riley did not think through her actions and subconsciously rushed forward to grab onto his elbow. This action did not only surprised Xavier but it also caused Riley to feel embarrassed.

It would be weird to remove her hand at this point, but keeping it there was strange as well..

She could not recall herself ever being the one to initiate contact with him but now she was more than willing to do anything it would take to gain back his love and trust.

Xavier glanced at her snow- white hand around his elbow, and then slowly and firmly her began to removed his arm from her touch. He asked, sounding cold and light,

"Do you need anything?".

Guys if you notice I changed the name, I do like the name Ramsey but I think this Xavier would do just fine. But you can drop your suggestions and like me know what you think, if I should continue with this name or pick the first one back ( Ramsey)
