The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss Chapter - [ 192 ]
[ Adeline ]“How are you feeling, Love?” My husband asked me gently while he massaged my shoulders as I slumped down the sofa. I spent the whole afternoon with Mom and Paul. She needed us and it was the least I could do for her. Addison left early because she had an important work at office but I stayed back because I am lucky to have Sandra to handle my work behind me. I should promote her soon.“I am proud of her. She took it very well and I am glad Paul is in her life. He is the true soulmate she needs and he has all the elements of a good life partner. I think I can be less worried for her now.” I replied to him with a tired smile and kissed his hand.“Are you ready to accept him as your stepfather?” He questioned me and it wasn’t something I expected nor I thought from this angle. My last memories with my father aren’t pleasant and I don’t think I’d rush up things when it comes to my mother’s new relationship.“I don’t know but I think he is an amazing man. If my mother decides t

[ Adeline ]“Good evening, Ms. Harper.” Xavier greeted Melissa’s mother while I stood by his side and politely bowed.The middle aged woman looked hesitant. She was indeed a pretty woman even in her forties. Melissa pretended to be bored but I knew, she was curious. Her greed brought her to our house.“Good evening, Mr. Linwood. When Mel told me that you invited us for dinner, I didn’t believe her.” The woman smiled nervously. It was the first time she was meeting any of the Linwoods.“There’s no need for formalities, Ms. Harper. You can call us by our names. She’s my wife, Adeline.” He introduced me to her.“It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Harper. Please, come with us. The dinner table is set.” I greeted her formally.“You’re directly taking us to the dining room means you invited us just for namesake. I thought we’d continue our conversation where we left in the morning.” Melissa said mockingly to Xavier and I thought it was better if I don’t interfere.“Mel, what are you saying?” Her mo

[ Adeline ]“You did the most amazing thing tonight, Xav. I am proud of you. Miss Harper looked very happy and I don’t think she is a bad person or she has any resentment against our family. And this business idea, when did you learn about her personal life and her skills?” I, who looked really surprised, asked him.“I have my sources everywhere, my love. It was a piece of cake for me to investigate her private life and I found nothing suspicious.” He told me.“I just hope that mow Melissa won’t create problems for us. we did as much as we could do for them.” I said sitting on the couch in the balcony of our room. The weather was cold which made me shiver.“You’ll catch cold, Ade. Let’s go inside.” Xavier said.“Let’s finish this beer then we’ll go. I am enjoying here, just two of us.” I said expression my wish to him.“Only ten minutes more. I don’t want any of us to fall sick. We can’t afford to skip work if we want to go on a week long vacation.” He said and we made a toast by clin

[ Adeline ]I felt immense happiness when I saw my husband’s desperation for me. He was groaning under me while I gave him slow and torturous strokes on his hard shaft. He was trying to untie his hands but I tied them securely.“Ade, you’re going to regret this slow torture if my hands will be free. I don’t think I can stay any longer.” He wreathed under me.“Patience, hubby.” I placed my finger on his lips and grinded my core on his lower abdomen.“Fuck! Just untie me.” He groaned again.I dropped wet and sloppy kisses on the base of his throat and descended down, his back arched while my hands kept stroking him, I knew he was desperate to feel me but I wanted him to feel every aspect of erotic romance, I wish to fulfil all his fantasies.“Please, kiss me.” He begged me and I felt proud of myself. I made him beg for me.Suddenly, I pulled away.“No, tonight kissing is prohibited.” I said with a mischievous glint. My body cells filled with excitement.“This is unfair. I want to taste y

[ Adeline ]“For the last time I am saying this, Mr. Linwood. So, open your ears and listen to me very carefully. I am not taking any self-defence training, that’s it.” I declared my final decision to Xavier who dropped a bomb over my head after the breakfast that my self-defence training will start from today. My driver will take me to the training centre after working hours.“I told you that it’s non-negotiable, Ade then why are you throwing tantrums now?” He threw his hands in the air in frustration as we had been arguing for more than thirty minutes. Our house staff was enjoying the free show.“I am done with you if you keep pestering me like this, Xavier. I know you don’t want me to fall into trouble or danger again but it is too much and I am not very sporty person. I hate going to the gym but it’s important to keep my body in shape and in perfect health.” I gave him my final words and about to walk past from there but he grabbed my hand.“You didn’t mean it?” His voice wavered,

[ Xavier ]“Any updates on Linda and Arthur?” I asked Zach who was enjoying his fifth ice-cream on my account in a nearby café around my office. He called me to meet me there since he thought there could be an informer who’d alert my enemies in hide.“Yes, Mrs. Linwood, I mean your stepmother was spotted in a shopping mall two days ago with a young woman but her face couldn’t be seen as she wore a cap.” Zach told me while swallowing another spoonful of ice-cream.I took a deep breath. He was eating like a buffalo but not giving me specific answer so I took the spoon out of his hand.“What? This almond and cashew ice-cream is made by the bakers of heaven. Let me enjoy this sweet treat, boss.” He whined and who’d say that he’s a professional detective.“You’re going to pay the bill yourself if you don’t tell me everything in clear details right now.” I warned him and it was enough to bring him on the right track.“I promise, this is my last ice-cream. I’ll tell you everything once I fin

[ Xavier ]“Sir, this area isn’t safe. I advise you to return because if someone catches you here, wandering in the shady area of the city, they’ll spread it like a wild fire. You know what consequences it’d bring to us.” My men advised me but there was no backing out for me tonight.“We won’t be spending much time here, Ross. We’ll take Randy with us and leave. The rest will be handled in our basement.” I replied to him and entered in a small, crowdy bar where I could see men drunken, cursing and also fighting among themselves. It was a nasty place, reeking of sweat, alcohol and tobacco but I had to do this for my family.“Where is Randy?” I asked the bartender, she was a woman with tattooed arms.“Who are you, Mister? The president of the country whom I answer? Get lost if you are penniless because we only accept cash.” She gave me a mocking look and resumed her work.“I think this is enough for your mother’s next medical bill, Jennie.” I slapped a thousand dollars on the counter wh

[ Xavier ]“What took you this long, Xavier? And what is with this dress up? Are you going to club with Travis?” My wife bombarded me with questions while I listened to her quietly. She looks really cute with frown.“I am not very late, it’s only eight forty-five. I admit, I was supposed to join you and Dad for the dinner but I went for area survey.” I told her partial truth because I hate lying to her.“Area survey, at this hour?” She frowned again and I had to admit that my wife is also very smart, if I don’t elaborate her everything in detail, then she’ll dig deeper and the truth will eventually come out.“Yes, the research team informed me that there are some unregistered and illegal buildings on the property where your ship manufacturing factory will set up in next two months and they’re very lousy people. I was there to negotiate with them peacefully but when they threw tantrums, I made them understand by greasing their palms. Money has the absolute power, Adeline. They agreed t

[ 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
