The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss Chapter- [ 101 ]
[ Xavier ]I felt like the earth slipped beneath my feet. I felt numb and couldn't process whether it was my dream or the reality on which I couldn't believe because ghosts doesn't exist. "Xavier..." She whispered again, her lips quivered as she uttered my name.Yes, it was her, the same face with shortened hairs and same melodious voice."Xavier, it's me, your Emily." She said again and took slow steps towards me."No, it's..it's not true. It...can't be possible. You're not real." I shook my head and turned to look at Adeline, her face had the same mortified expression on her face.She was confused, clueless, just like me and we were staring at each other. I was about to say something when two arms wrapped around me and I smelled the same fragrance after two years, same touch. It was indeed Emily who was hugging me. My mind was still clouded. I couldn't decide whether I should feel happy or sad or shocked. It was the biggest surprise of my life."You have no idea how much I misse

[ Xavier ]Excruciating silence sprawled in the air. Emily was staring at me with tear filled eyes. I was being honest with her. I felt torn apart between my past and present.“Xavier, I don’t know what to say. I came all my way back here to be with my husband and here, I found he has moved on from me and found another life partner. I have no family, no one or no place to go. You were my only family.” She sniffed looking down at the floor. “I am sorry, Em. I would have never replace you if I knew that you were alive. You know I am a loyal man.” I said.“Does it matter now? You have a wife now and you’re in love with her. what should I say?” She threw her hands in the air.“I am still your family, Em. I won’t let you go anywhere. You can stay here until we find a place for you. Please, I beg you, Emily.” I said and tried to hold her hand but she distanced herself from me.“You want me to live in the same house where you live with your wife and die thousand death when I see her in your

[ Adeline ]I couldn't believe that life would take this turn for me when I thought I reached at the end of the tunnel and the light is waiting for me.Whom am I blaming? My fate has always been like this to me, cruel and merciless. When I assumed, finally it showed some mercy on me, I was fooled again.Impossible happened. Xavier's first wife has returned from the dead. It sounds impossible to believe but she was there, the woman whom he loved more than his own life, perhaps he still does. I saw my world crumbling down in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything but watched it go down the drain. What if he chooses her over me all over again?He still loves her. She's a very beautiful and amazing woman. I couldn't judge her wrong. I got positive vibes from her and my reaction would have been the same if I was in her shoes.Still it pains a lot to imagine him slipping away. This time, I'd not be able to bear the pain of heartbreak. I won't be able to survive since he has become m

[ Adeline ]Relief washed over Xavier’s face when he saw me but I couldn’t say the same about his first wife, who clearly ignored my presence and pretended to eat her breakfast. Xavier rose from his seat and gave me a quick peck on the lips. I stole a glance at her who winced when she saw it.I seated on the farthest seat from them and didn’t try to hide my discomfort since Emily occupied my seat.“Why are you sitting here? Come and sit with me.” Xavier said to me with a frown.“I think I am good here. Moreover, I am getting late for office.” I said plainly and served myself a very small portion of oats and omelette. The more I stay in the same vicinity as them, the more it’ll make me feel uncomfortable.His face morphed with disappointment but he said nothing and sat down on his previous place.I took out my phone and started reading my business mails while eating my breakfast. I could feel their eyes on me but I pretended to be oblivious.“Adeline, Emily, I think we should talk. It

[ Xavier ]I watched Adeline leaving the house. I couldn’t stop her because she made it very clear that she doesn’t want to stay with me if I don’t take a decision very soon. I know she’s wounded. Life had given her enough scars to bear for lifetime and if she receives another from me. I fear she’ll be lost. I may not be able to mend our relationship if I don’t come to a decision sooner than possible.“Don’t stress yourself, Xavie. It’s very easy. I am ready to divorce you and trust me, I have no intentions to make your life complicated. Your wife has walked out of this house because of me. You bought it for her so she can be away from her terrible past. I don’t want to shadow her happiness, it’s your happy home. I am the past and past can only haunt us.” Emily said.I stood silent because my mind stopped processing anything. My life had turned a complexed zig zag puzzle.“I’ll move out of here. I haven’t brought anything with me but I am willing to take my old stuff from here. There

[ Adeline ]I couldn't breathe, I tried to shake off the scene I witnessed that I wish I never had seen but it was my bad luck trying to mock me again. I forgot my office keys in my room, that's why I had to go back inside the house to fetch them but my feet halted when I saw the most devastating sight.Xavier was kissing Emily and they looked pretty lost into each other. It was intimate and real.My eyes stung with fresh set of tears. He was the same man who confessed his love to me, promised me to fulfill all my dreams and made my life a perfect heaven.I fell hopelessly in love with him and it threw me into the dark abyss. "Ma'am, shall we go?" Blaze's voice forced me to take my eyes off from them who were still kissing each other, perhaps catching for the time they were away from each other."Yeah..let's go." I forced a smile at home who saw what my eyes witnessed and no matter how much he tried to mask his expressions, he sympathized with me.Throwing my husband one last glance

[ Xavier ]I miss her terribly. I miss Adeline and the worse part is, I can't talk to her or see her. I wish I could stop her in the morning and beg her to give me a chance to prove her that she is the one with whom I see my future.Adeline Greyson is my present and she is going to be my future. I need some time to sort everything out. I can't ask Emily to end things between us and abandon her just like her family. The humanity inside me would never allow me to be unfair to her. Legally she's still my wife and I find myself more drowned into my current predicament than before. "Xavie, I mailed you my resume." I heard Emily's voice. I decided to stay back home to clear my mind off and calm myself before heading to the office. The situation at work has also been a headache to me. "I will check later. Have your lunch?" I asked her since she is new at my home and it's obvious how my house staff was treating her. They're really fond of their mistress and accepting my first wife in the

[ Xavier ]"Xavier, you married again, right? What will you do now?"Prospero's question took me off guard and put me in an embarrassing and judging position. Prospero knew I and Emily since the time we were dating and he admired us as a couple. He thought we were made for each other and no matter what comes for us, we'd always be together. "Yes, I married three months ago. We visited here a month ago but you were present that time so you missed the chance to meet my wife." I told him without any shame."I wish I could meet the woman who is quite a talk in the town." Prospero nodded his head but I couldn't judge his expressions. "What do you mean, Prospero?" Frown itched on my face as I requested him to explain me what did he perceive about Adeline. "I run a successful restaurant where customers comes from every section of our society, young man. I heard them talking about the young entrepreneur who took over a thriving company under Linwood name and she's successfully running it

The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss Epilogue
[ Adeline ]“Good morning, sleepy head. It’s nine in the morning and our little devils are waiting for their mom to wake up.” I heard my husband’s husky voice in my ear and lazily I opened my eyes. His beautiful eyes looked more intense in the bright sunlight which was peeking through the window.I cupped his face and brought him close to peck his forehead, “Good morning, love. It’s not my fault that I slept till this late.” I said and threw my arms around his torso.“Don’t blame me, you look ravishing in red and black and it’s been a week since I last had you.” He defended himself.“Now, it’s my fault?” I raised my brows while he took me to the bathroom and placed me on the countertop. He applied toothpaste on my brush and gave it to me.“Thanks, love. You can leave now. I’ll join you and our sons in fifteen minutes.” I said but he remained there.“What?” I gave him a confused look.“I won’t mind taking another shower with my sexy wife who’s looking more ravishing with my marks on he

[ Xavier ]The day of the judgement has finally come. I held my wife’s hand tightly, it was a silent promise that no matter what happens today, I’d stick by her side and we’ll start a new journey together today. The trial was in progress, my lawyers were doing their best to prove Emily and Linda guilty but I didn’t think Linda would get imprisonment, her mental health worsened after the death of her son. She couldn’t believe that he was actually gone.It was more severe punishment, she’d live the rest of her life in this pain and denial. Speaking of Emily, she remained silent throughout the hearing. Her family didn’t show up as they were hiding themselves from the law but her brother testified against her.We also brought the father of her ex-boyfriend in Cananda to solidify a murder case against her.“We’re going to win this case, Xav.” Adeline whispered to me.“I don’t doubt that. I am thinking where should we go to celebrate this day, just you and me.” I gave her a side glance.“Le

[ Adeline ]“Yes, Addison. You look pale, maybe sick. What’s the matter?” I asked my sister with a raised brow while Adam was busy playing with the house staff. I told Xavier not to come out because he and Addison still don’t look into eyes.She looked here and there, the coffee I served her was still untouched. She was tapping her foot on the floor, which does it whenever she’s nervous.“Look, we both aren’t very close, I get it but it has a brighter side. You don’t expect me to judge you or give you advise, you just want to talk, then talk. I am listening.” I said to ease her and she looked up.“But you must promise me that you won’t tell Mom or anyone else.” She said and I was shocked, she was requesting me.“If you have doubts on me then don’t tell me. I didn’t ask you to come to me.” I said in a little annoyed tone, blame my imbalanced hormones.“I didn’t mean in that way.” She tried to justify and a tensed silence sprawled between us.“Addison, if you are seeing yourself on a cr

[ Adeline ]“Hey, I told you not to move much. Your wound is healed but it doesn’t mean that you’d be walking and running here and there like this.” I reprimanded my husband who was watering the plants in our balcony.“Ade, don’t treat me like a patient anymore. It’s been four weeks and my wound is completely healed. In fact, you should take care of yourself now.” He said turning to face me.“Yes, you’re right but I am taking care of myself, Mr. Linwood. You should worry about yourself. The doctors advised you to avoid pressure on your muscles for next two months. Take it seriously, Xav. You’ll be a father very soon and this kind of behaviour isn’t appreciative from any angle.” I reminded him and on the mention of his baby, his eyes sparkled.He walked briskly towards me and caged me in between his arms, “I still can’t believe that we’re going to have a baby in next seven months. Our boy or girl will be with us to add more happiness in our world.” He said, his smile said a lot than he

[ Adeline ]“Linda, how are you?” I spoke over the microphone and her screaming stopped.“Emily, I hope your leg is healing now. It’s a long time since we met and I am feeling very elated to see you both. I hope you’re being treated well.” I said.“Adeline, you bitch! You coward whore, if you have guts, come in front of me.” Linda sneered and yelled at the cameras.For the first time, I witnessed her losing her temperament and it showed how vulnerable she was. Emily’s eyes moved on the camera as well but she didn’t express anything.“Linda, don’t shout, you’re making it hard for Emily to survive with you.” I said.“You’re enjoying this right? Just remember, if anything happens to me, my son will destroy you and that bastard.” Linda screamed.“I am sorry, Linda but your son can’t do anything now or ever.” I said and suddenly the two sided mirror became transparent and now, she could see me.Her eyes turned dark and she marched towards the glass.“I am going to kill you, Adeline Greyson

[ Adeline ]“What you both did inside? It was ridiculous.” I reprimanded Travis when doctors told us to leave his ward when they came to examine him and proceed with his shift to the hospital which was financed by the Linwood company.“It’s simple, we don’t trust the staff here because we don’t know them. What if his security is breached again by any insider? And what if this news leaks in the media, the damage will be beyond repair and all the suspicion will be pointed on Xavier. The investigation is on full swing and we need to keep low profile until the case is closed.” Travis explained and I thought he was right.“His wounds are fresh, I am afraid if he gets hurt while moving in an ambulance.” I expressed my concern.“Don’t worry, they are the latest technology, bumps on the roads can’t be felt and the best paramedic team will be with him and the route is only of twenty minutes at night time.” Travis assured me and I hoped everything happens smoothly.“Travis, can I ask you for a

[ Xaiver ]“I’m pregnant, Xavier.”These three words sent my mind into frenzy. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming after waking up and it could be the effect of medicines but when she kissed my forehead and placed my hand on her flat belly, my whole world stopped.I was numb to react and unable to process anything. She told me that we’re about to have a baby, our baby. I am going to be a father and when I just narrowly escaped death.The history might repeat itself once again. I could have lost my wife and another child if it wasn’t my fate and the God’s blessings.“Please, say something, Xavier. Your silence isn’t good.” I heard her wavered voice and when I met her eyes, I could see insecurities and many questions.“I can’t kiss you, how horrible a situation can be? I’m going to be a father and I am hearing this news on a hospital bed, with a hole in my stomach. I am overwhelmed, Ade.” I spoke the truth as I was still trying to wrap my mind around this news.“I can understand, Xav

[ Adeline ]“Hey, love. Wake up. See, I am here, your Adeline.” I whispered to the sleeping figure of my husband but he was in a deep sleep under the effect of the medicines. My hands ached to touch him but I was scared of hurting him. His abdomen was wrapped in bandages.I hadn’t left his side since I came back to the hospital with Grandma. Eventually, I had to tell her everything. Sooner or later, she’ll find out so hiding from her wasn’t an option. She took everything really patiently, even the death of her other grandson who wanted to kill her elder grandson. She expressed no remorse for his death.She wanted to come with me to the hospital but I insisted her to stay home and promised to bring her to the hospital once he gains his consciousness.“Xavier, I have to tell you something. I also got to know an hour ago but this is really an amazing news but you have to wake up first because I want to see your reaction when I tell you this.” I talked to him in a hope that he was listeni

[ Adeline ]Hours passed, perhaps the dawn rolled on but we didn’t hear anything from the doctors yet, they just kept rushing out and again going inside with medicines and other supplies, they refused to answer anything and it grew my fear even more. I couldn’t wrap my mind around this sudden halt in my life.“Here, have this or you’ll fall sick, Adeline.” Travis offered me coffee but I refused by shaking my head negatively.“No, I am fine but thanks, Travis.” I tried to smile but failed.He sighed and sat down on the vacant chair beside me.“I can’t feel the depth of your pain and fears, Adeline because I haven’t seen someone I love in this situation but I am here for you and Xavier, always and I know my friend, he won’t like if he learn that you tortured yourself. So, for Xavier, have some coffee. He is under the best care and we’d shift him to the best hospital in the city once his condition stabilizes and the doctors approve his shift.” He said and again tried to make me have the
