[ Adeline ]

"What is your price, Arthur?"

A smirk appeared on his lips. He knew it. His move was calculative.

"Nothing much, you know I want to lead on the path of redemption." He rubbed his palms, "I want you to transfer the property of Miami and your 10% shares in the Greyson's company on my son's name because he'd be the next heir of Lucas Greyson but your shares are non-transferable. It's not much, Adeline and I know you're not a greedy woman like my mother or Addie." He grinned.

"You're pathetic, Arthur." I said with disgust.

"You can call me anything you want but you must understand that my father hasn't left my son with anything. Do you want a child to be brought up like a beggar's son when his family is sitting on the mountain of wealth and it's nothing in the comparison of the information I am about to share with you." He said.

"You know what, Arthur?" I rose from the bench, my eyes were shooting daggers at him, "I would happily take care of Adam rather than giving you a free

    [ Adeline ]The house felt empty and cold. There wasn't a single soul with whom I could share my grief. My heart felt void and the pain was unexplainable.I watched the sun setting down from the window of my room. I had been locked here for last an hour, trying my best to convince myself that this was an ideal decision until Xavier clears his mind.I don't want to become a second choice because Xavier is my only choice. My eyes fell on the folder laying on the table. It might give me some breakthrough on Emily's past and if Arthur is speaking the truth, then I must save my husband from her.A knock on the door snapped me out of my dilemma. It must be Blaze's wife who insisted to stay back and cook dinner for me."Please, come in."The door creaked open slowly and she peeked inside with a bright smile on her face."Ma'am, the dinner is ready. Please, come to the dining room." She said to me."You know you don't have to take this much efforts, Lisa. I can cook, trust me. I have been on

    [ Xavier ]Many thoughts kept swirling inside my mind as I left my house to see my wife. Emily had already retired to her room. The house felt empty and haunted without Adeline my side. I missed her terribly. It was the longest time since we got married when I've not seen her except for working hours. She told me not to follow her but I'd not listen to her this time. I can't lose my wife due to some dilemma I am facing. Blaze kept me updated on her. He and his wife helped her to settled down in the villa and on my insistence, they're staying at the villa to keep her company. "Sir, we have arrived." My driver informed me as the car stopped with a screech. I looked out of the window.For the first time in two years, this house looked lively. My heartbeats accelerated in an anticipation to see her. I hope she doesn't back away or shut me out this time. I need her, she needs me.With steady steps, I made my way inside the house. The guards outside greeted me. Everything looked on its

    [ Adeline ]He kissed me, with passion and urgency. He didn't give me a chance to think or react, he just kept kissing me, his hands possessively wrapped around my waist, pulling me impossibly closer. I need him, he needs me.Throwing all the caution out of the window, I kissed him back. He is my husband and we weren't committing a sin. I could feel him smile in between the kiss. My fingers knotted his silky hairs. It was becoming needier and deeper.Until I recall the moment from the morning. Those same lips kissed another woman.Yes, for me, Emily is the other woman in his life. So, with the last straw of self respect, I pushed him.I was breathing hard, trying to inhale oxygen for my tired lungs. His confused and somewhat hurt eyes met mine."This is wrong. All of this. You should leave." I ran my fingers through my hairs as my frustration grew with passing moments.His face welcomed a cold expression. I could see anger in his eyes because the way his veins popped up, I could tell

    [ Adeline ]I cried and cried hard after I rejected my husband. I heard his car driving off. He left, he kept his promise. My eyes began to sting after crying for hours but the pain didn't subside. It intensified even more.I laid back on my bed which felt cold because I had grown habituated to sleep in my husband's arms.My eyes fell on the folder which had been waiting for me to open and find out about Emily and how she is.My husband must be blind in her love but I wasn't a fool. I made this mistake before but this time, I won't be doing the same thing again. Emily must accept her defeat.I sat straight on the bed and switched on the night lamp to read the file in peace. With nervous heart, I opened the folder and scanned the general details on her.It didn't catch my curiosity since it contained her parents, birth, schooling and early life's details which Arthur already told me. I flipped the next page and from there, her life became interesting like a movie."Emily Jones was exp

    [ Adeline ]"You kicked him out of the house when he was trying to seduce you?" Travis spat out the cold drink and gave me a look of disbelief. I rolled my eyes on his over straightforward statement."I didn't say that he was trying to seduce me. We kissed and he simply wanted to spend the night at the villa." I said."The same thing, do you really think a man would stop after a passionate kiss, specially a man who found his true love and he is back from a mind numbing honeymoon?" Travis said."We're not here to discuss my married life inside the room, Travis. I want us to find out what she is really up to because I can't take any action without being hundred percent sure." I said."I read the folder. I must give the credits to Arthur. His investigation seems authentic since all the records are extracted from police record." He said reading the folder again."We don't have much time, Travis. She is living at my home with my husband and I can't do anything. If I am not wrong, her eyes

    [ Adeline ]"Ade, I have promised my friend to keep it between us. I think you should ask Xavier. I have given all the related information on your father to him." Travis said. "Alright, I can understand." I pressed a smile but I really wanted to know my father's deeply rooted evil which I failed to realize before."But I can tell you, he is the biggest enemy you can have if you don't balance your equation with Lucas Greyson. He is an old player in this game and believe me, he'd not hesitate for bloodshed if it requires for him to take his enemies down." Travis told me everything in less words."Thanks, Travis. I really needed a friend to talk." I expressed my gratitude for him."Anytime, Mia Cara." He winked at me before leaving my office.First step done and now time for my next step. My heart craved to see my husband and run into his arms. Last night, I really wanted him but my pride came in between my feelings for him. I broke his heart but I can still not erase the image of them

    [ Adeline ]"Are you feeling okay now, Ma'am?" Sandra asked me softly as she was done wrapping a bandaid on my hand."Yeah, thanks, Sandra. You really didn't need to bother yourself." I forced a smile . I felt ashamed of bursting out in front of her."It's fine, Ma'am. I am here to help you not just for work but it's my duty to take care of you when you do the same for me." She smiled and handed me a painkiller with some water."I am sorry for the mess also." I said and gulped the pill."It will be cleaned in no time but I'd suggest you to take the day off. Besides, there isn't much work for you to supervise. I can manage today." She advised me and about to leave the guest room."Sandra, you are taking too much burden on your shoulders and I really get bored at home doing nothing. I can manage my work here." I said. I couldn't tell her the truth that the house was empty and more haunting without my husband."I informed Mr. Linwood and he is already on his way to here, Ma'am." She repl

    [ Xavier ]The tears in Adeline's eyes give me the most numbing pain than a wound. When Sandra called me and told me that Adeline wasn't herself and exploded, hurting herself in the process.Initially, I thought it was I, whose anger she pelted on her office but when I saw her and the vulnerability in her eyes, I could tell that the story was quite opposite. She looked defeated."Are you going to say something?" Travis asked me."What do you want to hear, Travis?" I looked at him, the glass of my drink kept untouched as I have been engrossed in brainstorming. "Your beautiful wife hurt herself and turned her office upside down, it's unsual for an elegant and patient woman like Adeline to lose her temper like this." He said emptying his third glass."Lucas fucking Greyson, he is blackmailing my wife with her mother's name. Mrs. Greyson had a cardiac arrest last week, she is on medication and the bastard is saying that he'd stop her treatment if Adeline won't comply to his wishes." I t

  • 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
