[ Adeline ]“Why this place is very quiet? I mean there’s no rush and loud music and crowd?” I asked my husband whose hand was on the small of my back. He was leading me inside the club which looked classy and really expensive.“This is one of the busiest and crowdy club in the city but today, I have booked it so you won’t feel uncomfortable.” He replied and I gasped. I blinked my eyes to make sure that I heard him right. His face didn’t show that he was joking.“Oh God! You’re unbelievable, Xavier.” I shook my head.“Why, you don’t like my first surprise?” He frowned.“Definitely not, Mr. Linwood. This is a club not a shrine where I’d prefer peace and silence. A club means, crowd, music, dance and a lot of alcohol.” I said as a matter of fact and his smile dropped.“Ops, it means I was wrong. Don’t worry, there’s a huge crowd outside the main entrance. I’ll tell the club manager to give access to limited people since it’s not good for our security.” He said and dialled someone’s numb

[ Adeline ]To say, I wasn’t surprised to find Emily in the uniform of the club staff, it’d be a plain lie because I couldn’t blink my eyes even for a second. Her condition was no different than me. She looked more embarrassed than shocked.“Oh, Ms. Jones, it’s quite shocking for us to find you here. When did you start working here?” Xavier, who had an amused smile on his face, didn’t look surprise.“Mr. Linwood, what are you doing here?” She asked bluntly.“I guess you already know. We are your VVIP customers and it’s your duty to please us if you don’t want us to give bad review about this club, always known for serving their rich customers and you know what does this mean?” He raised his brow at her in challenging manner.Her red face indicated that she wanted to retort back but she refrained herself since it was her job to show us respect.“What can I do for you, Sir?” She asked him with folded hands and bowed head.I didn’t want to be a bitch but her vulnerable condition gave my

[ Adeline ]Emily’s threat kept replaying in my head, I wanted to move forward and convince myself that it was her resentment which made her openly threat me. She isn’t in a position to hurt us.Life seemed almost perfect. Xavier leaves no chance to make me feel special. He is the best husband a girl can find and I am one lucky woman. I pray everyday that my life with Xavier never attracts evil eyes. We don’t miss any chance to make our moments memorable. Tonight is among them. We have invited Travis, Mr. Paul, Mom, Blaze and Lisa for dinner at our home.Guess what?I and Xavier decided to cook the dinner by ourselves. The kitchen staff giggled seeing us fighting over random stuffs and romancing while cooking for our family and friends.“Check on the ice-cream, Xavier. I think it’s set.” I instructed him while I seasoned my grilled chicken and fish with pepper and cheese curry. We had cooked many dishes, from his side to mine. We kept everyone’s favourite cuisines in mind.“Did you ch

[ Adeline ]“Xav, I have to tell you something. I didn’t get chance in last two days since we both are really busy.” I said as we sipped our morning tea in the garden in the pleasant Sunday morning. The winters are approaching so the sun feels good with chilly breeze.He placed the newspaper down and shifted his full attention on me, “What is it, Ade? You seem off. I have noticed it since the dinner night but I thought I should give you time so you open up to me.” He said and dragged his chair closer to me.“I talked to my mother during the dinner when you and Travis were busy with Mr. Paul. She told me that my father has been disappeared. I mean we can’t call him missing or disappeared but according to her, he isn’t responding to her mails or calls or even to her lawyer.” I told him and sighed.“Are you worried for him?’ He asked me.“No, I am not worried for him. In fact, I am curious. What if he has joined hands with our enemies? I don’t trust him as well.” I said with a shake of m

[ Adeline ]“Don’t be nervous, Travis’ mother is a good person. She is actually very cool.” Xavier whispered to me as we stepped out of our car and a guard led us inside a small but very modern and beautiful mansion.“Why there’s more security than our house. Travis’ house looks more like fort than a house.” I said scanning the whole area.“He runs a media channel, Ade. He has more enemies than us.” He told me and I nodded my head in acknowledgement.“Hello, my sweet and handsome boy. It’s really a surprise to have you after months.” Aloud feminine voice startled us and before we could understand anything, Xavier was crushed into a middle aged woman’s arms.“Hey, Windy, how are you?” He greeted her while trying to catch his breath.She released him and looked at me, I bowed to her in respect. Her striking resemblance with Travis gave me a hint that she’s his mother.“Hello, Ma’am. I am Adeline, Travis’ friend and Xavier’s wife.” I introduced myself.“Of course, I know you, sweetie. In

[ Adeline ]“I am going to talk to Addison, Xav.” I said as soon as we drove out of Travis’ house.It came like a huge shock to me how my best friend had fallen for my sister who actually doesn’t deserve him but we don’t fall in love by the logic, it happens.He turned his head in my direction with a frown itched between his brows, “I don’t think it’s a good idea. You know your sister, she isn’t one of the kindest persons and she is definitely a fan of yours. She’ll humiliate you and I don’t want you to go through it again. Just drop this idea, Ade.” He tried to convince me with the obvious outcomes.“I am not doing it for her, Xav. It’s Travis. I saw pure emotions in his eyes and the way he expressed himself, it wasn’t just sex or infatuation. He seems pretty smitten by Addison and I think she also deserves a second chance in her life if she really repents for her past mistakes.” I stated my own arguments.He sighed and held my hand, “Ade, I agree with you but isn’t she the one who p

[ Adeline ]“Wha…what do you mean? How..how..did you?” She stammered and looked away.“It doesn’t matter, Addison and it’s none of my business to meddle in your personal matter but I met Travis today and what he told me, I think you should know.” I stated as naturally as I could because I don’t want to overwhelm her.She raised her eyelashes and gave me a blank look, “Did he send you here?” She asked me flatly and I knew if I don’t handle this matter delicately from here, it might backfire and complicate everything.I shook my head negatively, “No, he doesn’t even know that I am here but he told me because he thinks I should know before someone else tells me. For him, you’re my sister so he thought it might affect our friendship.” I clarified.She looked away again.“It was a mistake. We both were drunk and one thing led to another. I told him first thing in the morning that we should move past. It wasn’t the first time I slept with someone like this. You know me well.” She said, she

[ Adeline ]“Ade, I think I have found a lead on your father.” Xavier, who walked inside our room after a long call with someone while I was reading a book to kill the time.I closed the book and put off my reading glasses. My heartbeats suddenly increased. It had been over a month since I last shared my dilemma about my father’s disappearance but I never raised the subject again because my mother insisted me to just leave him in the past, she was happy with Paul, their relationship was blooming. We even met Paul’s adopted daughter.“Where is he now?” I asked while trying to keep a straight face but it was useless because my husband knows me and can read me like an open book.He sat beside me and held me hands gently, he does it whenever he has to say something unpleasant.“Tell me, Xavier. What have you found about him. I am ready to hear anything.” I said looking straight into his eyes.“Adeline, your father is dead.” He said with a deep sigh.My hands slipped from his grip, I felt
