The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss Chapter - [ 153 ]
[ 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 ]“Alright, I think I should be leaving now. Take care, dear. I’ll keep updating you on the progress.” Mrs. Williamson said to me and left. Xavier escorted her out with respect. He came back with a blank expression. Clearly, he looked unpleased by my decision of allowing Addison to visit me whereas he didn’t want her anywhere near me.“Why this face now?” I asked him as his silence was agonizing for me.“Does it matter to you?’ He taunted me back and I bite my inner mouth to stop myself from cringing.“Please, stop it. I told you that it can’t be her. In fact, it’s not sure how long they’re going to remain in the marriage. Addison is planning to divorce him as soon as possible.” I told him what I learnt from Addison last night but his facial expressions conveyed that he didn’t believe me.A knock on the door put a pause on our one-sided conversation. Blaze sneaked inside.“Ms. Addison is here, Sir.” He informed.“Please, send her inside.” I said since I knew Xavier would ne

[ Xavier ]“Sir, you’ll be shocked when I’ll show you my discovery. So, prepare yourself because your relationships are purely based on deception and lies and this name will definitely give you shock.” Zach said who brought his investigation report on the given time.I folded my hands and gave him a bored look. He always creates dramatic effect.“Just give me the report and leave, you’ll receive your payment in your account.” I said.“Sir, I know you think that I love cracking jokes but this time I am also shocked and somewhere it’s a good news for you because there are concrete evidence against your enemies who wanted to remove Mrs. Linwood from their path just to bring you down.” He said and placed the folder in front of me.“You can leave now.” I said to dismiss him.“Sir, please allow me to stay here. In case, you want me to explain something.” He said while grinning at me.“You can sit over there.” I pointed at the farthest seat.He scurried towards the seat and I opened the file
