[ Adeline ]“Why are you avoiding me, Mrs. Linwood? We have spent the afternoon naked under the sheets, doing everything that is forbidden and now, you are behaving like you’re a shy teenage and I am your crush.” Xavier, who had me for whole afternoon, his desire increases with every round and we end up making love for hours until I pass out of my energy drains out.“I am not avoiding you, Mr. Linwood. Don’t forget that my mother lives under the same roof and I am still not comfortable to romance with you in front of her.” I replied as I chopped the vegetables for the dinner.“Well, I don’t have any problem if you romance in front of me. You’re legally married.” Mom’s voice startled me and I pushed Xavier away, my Mom walked into the kitchen with a broad smile lingering on her face. She looked happy since Addison visited her.“I was telling her the same, Susan. You’re not an old lady from the 17th century who sees it as taboo, am I right?” Xavier walked to my mother and circled his ar

[ Adeline ]“Thank you for dropping Adam with me, Addie. I have been wanting to spend time with my grandson.” Mom said, who was on the ninth cloud since Addison decided to drop her son at our house under our mother’s care.Addison was eating her food silently, we hadn’t exchanged any word since she came, though she chatted with Xavier occasionally, mostly on the business matters. He shared some useful market strategies with her to expand her selling. He also recommended her to meet some influential people and a better brand ambassador than Melissa.“Mom, can you keep him with you for two days? I am going on a business trip and I don’t think Arthur will be able to do it since he’s going to Ohio tomorrow night. Linda barely looks after any body other than herself.” Addison said to her.Mom looked at me, for my permission.“The house will be all yours from tomorrow, Mom. We’ll be shifting in our mansion tomorrow, since today Blaze ran a security check after Emily vacated the house.” I to

[ Adeline ]“So, tell me why you want to talk to me all of a sudden? I tried to kill you last time, remember.” Addison raised her brow as she parked the car at the river front.We stepped out, luckily there were a few people, mostly couples strolling there but they were lost in their own world which means we had the opportunity to talk freely.I played with my fingers as I didn’t know why was I even doing this. Addison wasn’t someone whom I could trust but only she can match the vengeance of Emily.“If you wanted to hurt me pretty badly, you had the chance to do it, or worse kill me but you hit me in the way so I could pass out for an hour or less means you had no intentions to kill me.” I replied to her question and she scoffed.“You didn’t answer my first question, Addison. Why do you decide to divorce Arthur all of a sudden, you both are perfect together and if I am not wrong, very much in love.” I said and waited to get a reaction out of her.“Love is a big deception, Adeline. You

[ Xavier ]I shouldn’t have let her go with Addison but I stood there and watched her leave with a woman with mental instability, she might hurt my wife again and this time, I will be the one to be blamed.“Xavier, son, please sit down. You are worrying yourself. I know Adeline, she doesn’t make same mistake twice. She’ll be back soon.” Susan who was sitting in the living room with me, said.I was pacing too and fro, it’s almost an hour, I decided to call her but then I thought she needs her privacy. My heart was telling me that something was about to happen and it’d not be very good, at least not for me.“Susan, I am going to call her now.” I said to her and about to dial Adeline’s number when my phone flashed an unknown number. My heartbeats raced. However, I picked the call and went a little far from Susan.“Hello, Xavier Linwood here, who is speaking and how did you get my private number?” I asked before the other person could say anything but I heard siren wails in the background

[ Xavier ]An hour passed but there was no word from the doctors, I rushed to nurses who emerged out to bring some medicines inside but they refused to answer which grew my impatience and fear.“Mr. Linwood, I know it’s a very tough time for you but we think it’s not an accident but a planned attack on your wife. The cab driver died on the spot, luckily your wife survived but she could be dead too if the car didn’t roll and fall on the other side. We have increased the security around the hospital.” The police chief said to me.I lifted my head and looked at him. He had a serious look on his face and it made me think of only two names. I clenched my fists and smashed the bench.“Calm down, Mr. Linwood. We can come tomorrow but this can’t wait for any longer.” He said and turned to leave.“I think my brother and his wife are behind this. My wife was with Addison Linwood before this accident happened, they don’t get along well. Addison tried to hurt her in the past too. Keep an eye on t

[ Xavier ]Hours passed, I didn’t realise when the morning crept in. Adeline’s condition was stable but she hadn’t gained her consciousness and it was my biggest concern. I was desperate to see those beautiful blue eyes and hear her melodious voice.“Oh! My baby.” Susan, who entered in the ward, gasped closing her mouth. She was crying and I was sure that she hadn’t blinked her lashes throughout the night.I walked up to her and gathered her in my arms. She cried more resting her face on my chest, “Our Adeline is fine, Susan. The doctors said she’s very fortunate to survive and we should be thankful to the God who saved her for us.’ I said to her.She wiped her tears and glanced at her daughter with sad eyes.“My Adeline, why she has to suffer every time?” She sobbed.“She’s a fighter, Susan. She’ll be fine very soon. I promise you I’ll take care of her and I’ll make sure that she’d not fall in danger again.” I promised her.“I trust you, son.” She smiled faintly and we sat down, she

[ Adeline ]I felt immense pain in my body like a bus had crushed me under it, from my head to toe. I tried to move my hands but I couldn’t do it, my head felt heavy and it was throbbing. I could hear smell of medicine and beeping sound of the machines. I tried to remember what exactly happened and I recalled everything.My cab was hit by another vehicle, immense pain and then complete darkness. I tried to open my eyes but closed them immediately when lights hurt them. I heard Xavier’s voice as mere whisper.“I think we should call the doctors now. Why isn’t she waking up?” I heard his impatient voice and I felt relieved, my husband was there. I could smell my mother’s perfume. She’s also here.I tried to flutter open my eyes and after a few attempts I opened them and saw my mother and husband. They looked worried.“Xavi…Xavier…there’s no need to..call doctor. I am awake.” I somehow said as my throat was dry.I saw him getting stilled and then he turned around. Our eyes met and I coul

[ Adeline ]Xavier took care of me like mother hen, he refused to leave my side even for a minute except when he had to attend a very important and unavoidable call. I received many wishes from my staff, Sandra came to visit me in the morning. I felt blessed to have such loving and caring people apart from toxicity. I am still wondering who wants to kill me. Well, the list is very long and they all hate me with their guts but Xavier has firm belief that it’s Arthur and Addison’s doing.“A got a call from my lawyer, he submitted a written application regarding our current situation and asked the court to give us some time and we managed to delay the final hearing until next week.” Xavier, who had been on the call with his lawyer for ten minutes, told me. He looked relieved.“It’s great to hear but it doesn’t mean that you won’t be going to the office. Today is an exception but I’d not appreciate if you avoid your work, Xavier. Your father has infused his trust in you and I do not want

[ 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
