[ Adeline ]

“What?”

She was baffled.

“Yes, Mom’s condition is delicate and she needs proper medical care and healthy environment to live her rest of life peacefully. Both you and I know that it’s not possible at our father’s house. He treats her like his maid.” I said, bitterness filled my heart.

“That son of a bitch. He didn’t tell me anything about Mom’s heart attack, even Mom answered my calls like nothing had happened. She never loved me more than you to share her pains and joys with me.” She said with hurt in her voice.

“She didn’t tell me either, it was our father who called me and blackmailed me. Xavier came up with the idea of bringing her to our house so we can take good care of her and we’re doing our best until Emily showed up and…” I paused as agony filled me.

“Well, it’s your husband’s fault that he’s keeping his first wife while he boasts of everlasting love with you.” She said in a taunting way but somewhere she was right and I had to agree that Xavier was taking longer

    [ Adeline ]Xavier had been very uncomfortable around his family members in his mother’s house, who are family for namesake. I had no idea how he was coping up. We were heading to meet his father in his study room when we came face to face with Linda. She had a weird calmness on her face but what shocked me more was, the two women living under the same room, alive and unhurt.As long as I remember, Grandma hated Linda. I guess time changes everything. We just didn’t notice it coming.“Good evening, Mrs. Linwood.” Xavier showed his formal respect to her. I am always proud of my husband who never forgets his manners even the other person is his worst enemy.I remained silent since I am not as lenient as my husband.“Oh, you both are finally here. Arnold had been very impatient to see you.” She said.“We are going to meet him in his study if you excuse us.” Xavier replied to her.“Oh, please. You may. I was going to join the other family members.” She said gesturing us to go ahead.“Ther

    [ Xavier ]I failed to process everything which happened right in front of my eyes. Emily was standing in my father’s house with crossed hands and hateful stares on her from three people whom I love and the others waited for the drama to unfold.“Dad, what is she doing here? My Mom nearly had another heart attack because this wench decided to show up at Adeline’s house with her act of innocence but I won’t bear her sight here.” Addison lost her temper. Her eyes were shooting daggers at Emily whose face was red with embarassment.I felt bad for her but her attempts to reinvolve in my complex family seemed to give her more pain than salvation.“Addison, this is not your house and you have no right to disrespect my guest. So, either sit down quietly or leave. We won’t stop you.” Dad reprimanded her and her face was worth seeing.“Sit down. Addie. Do not make a scene here. If Dad has called her here means he has something to share with all of us.” Arthur whispered to her.I walked up to E

    [ Adeline ]“What the hell! You think I am going to live a peasant girl’s life and watch this family enjoying an urban life here. IMPOSSIBLE!” Melissa screamed.Karma serves best.“Alright then donate it to charity but remember you won’t receive a single penny from this family and whatever I gave you, it’s for your mother since you are capable of earning for yourself, Melissa.” Arnold said and his tone was non-negotiable.“Honey, you have done more than enough for this petty girl and her mother.” Linda said sweetly to him, I bet she was thinking about her share because last time Arnold ripped her off from her rights and access to enormous wealth.“Linda, you can keep the house we are currently living in, it will be yours until your death and a sum of two-hundred million will be deposited in your account. I hope it will sustain you for next twenty years. Lead a simple life now and devote yourself to the God’s service.” Arnold announced for her and her smirk disappeared.I didn’t feel b

    [ Adeline ]Tensed silence dominated the cold AC air inside the car as we drove back to our house from Arnold’s house. I was sitting beside my husband whereas a very silent and uncomfortable Emily was on my other side. I insisted to drop her off at the house, she refused initially but I had to act on front of my husband.After all, it was the matter of only a night, tomorrow she’ll be gone from our lives forever and I thanked Arnold for being fair and considerate for my future.“Xavier, can you drop me off at my friend’s house, it’s in the next block?” Emily broke the silence.“No, you’re staying at the mansion for tonight. You can pack your stuff while I arrange an apartment for you by the end of next day. We’ll get divorce but I’d make sure that you don’t lack anything. It is the least I can do for you and please, don’t stop me. You’re still my responsibility.” He responded.Jealousy burned my heart, I wanted to push her out of the car but I had to refrain myself from making any stu

    [ Adeline ]“I want to have a child, Xav.” I finally expressed my wish to my husband and gauzed his reaction, he dropped the chopsticks down and gave me a clueless look.“What?” He asked me in a baffled tone, the frown between his brows forced me to regret my decision of expressing my wish to him who didn’t seem to ready for such life changing conversations after a hectic dinner.“Just forget it and let’s finish our food. The park is also about to be closed.” I tried to dodge the topic but his blank face made me even guiltier and somewhat angry on my impulsiveness. It wasn’t the right time or place for such discussions.“No, how can I forget that my wife asked me to have a child.” He said placing his tray on the bench.I looked down at my lap in embarrassment. I should have waited a little longer.“Hey, look at me, Ade. I know you haven’t blurted it like that. We need to talk about it. So, just tell me why do you say that you want to have a child?” He insisted me to share my thoughts

    [ Xavier ]I felt elated, actually on the top of the world when Adeline expressed her wish of having our child. I hadn’t to ask her, my wife herself gave me a reason to love her even more. “What are you thinking, my love?” Adeline’s sweet voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I tilted my head to her side and shook my head.“We narrow escaped the watchmen, just imagine what might happen if they caught us in the middle of our act.” I teased her.“I told you that it was the real fun.” She grinned.“I think tonight we should rest. Tomorrow is going to be a hectic day for all of us.” I said and our feet halted in the foyer of our house.“Everything happens for a reason, Xav and I am sure Arnold has seen something coming up. He is trying to protect all of us.” She said. I could see relief in her eyes as tomorrow, I and Emily will file for a divorce.My father has the best attorney at his service and it’d not be a big problem for us to finalize the divorc

    [ Arthur ]How could my own father do this to me?He left nothing for me, instead he is forcing me to work like a servant under my stepbrother and my ex-wife. I hate them both with my guts but my father failed to see the efforts I had taken over the years to make him proud me so he sees me as successful and smart as Xavier but for him, only his elder son has the abilities to continue the family legacy and make him even prouder.“I am going to kill you, Xavier!” I screamed and chugged the empty bottle on the ground. It shattered into pieces and reflected the light.“Arthur, what are you doing? You could have hurt yourself. You stupid boy.” My mother who rushed inside the room, scolded me.I lifted my drowsy eyelids to glance at her who was shaking her head in disappointment. I tried to stand on my feet but fell back again.“Come on, Arthur. Why the hell did you drink this much? You have to use your brain more than before because we’re on the brink of losing everything that we had been

    [ Adeline ]“Good morning, baby. You slept till late. You usually never sleep this late?” Mom asked me kissing my cheek as I sat down for the breakfast.“Yes, Mom, today I want to be recharged. It’s a very important day for me and for my marriage.” I told her with excitement, last night, I slept peacefully because I trust my husband and I know he’d not back out from his promises.“I guess your husband is taking you out.” Mom gave me a teasing look. I roamed my eyes to spot Xavier but he hadn’t come for the breakfast.“Your husband left very early in the morning. I was up for my morning yoga routine. I asked him what made him leave this early but he said that he’d be back by nine.” Mom said as she observed me.It shocked me to the core. Xavier usually doesn’t leave without telling me unless it’s urgent and I am not available.“Hey baby, please, don’t be sad. He must have a reason. You can ask him when he comes home.” Mom tried to cheer up my mood.“Maybe it’s an emergency.” I shook my

    [ 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
