[ Adeline ]Xavier is behaving strange nowadays. He leaves early for the office and comes late than his usual time. Whenever I tried to ask him, he diverts the subject and makes love to me to brush off the subject and it began to bother me. my intercom suddenly buzzed, thus pulling me out of my private life’s dilemma.“Ma’am, Mr. Linwood is here and he wants to see you.” Sandra informed me.“Yes, send him inside.” I said and leaned back on the chair. It was my day to work in the headquarter of Linwood Corp.A minute later, Xavier walked inside my office with a tired smile on his handsome face.“Hey, are you ready to back home?” He asked me.I rose from my chair and collected my jacket and purse, “Since when you need my permission to enter in my office?” I asked him playfully while he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.“You’re my CEO here and it’s inappropriate for me to disturb you during your working hours. You know I believe in keeping my private life separate from work.” He said s

[ Xavier ]I felt half of my heart burden being lifted when I told Adeline about the location of our enemies but I had to hide the main part of the truth. She took it very maturely and promised me that she’d take care of herself. It relieved me, she is a sensible woman but it didn’t lessen my fear for her safety. She also expressed her wish to plan a baby soon and I was on the cloud nine. I can’t wait any longer to have my own family with the woman who is my everything.“Hey, what are you doing here? Your Dad is asking for you.” Adeline’s sweet voice forced me to turn around.“I was on an important call with my P.A. I instructed him to clear my schedule for tomorrow.” I told her and it was true.“If you are done with all your important calls then can we go back in Arnold’s room? He isn’t feeling well and it’s better if we spend some time with him before he falls asleep.” She said and her concern for my father made me love her even more.“Coming, my love.” I said wrapping my arm around

[ Xavier ]I felt numb from inside, I was in pain but my tears didn’t melt it out of my heart. I blankly stared at the fresh tombstone of my father’s grave. People are offering their condolences but I hardly paid any attention to them because it was just an obligation for them to be a part of a rich and influential man’s funeral. Very few of them had genuine sympathy for me.I wish I could stay long with him a week ago when he said his last words to us. He knew they were his last moments. Next day, when his nurse went to check upon him, he already slipped into his eternal sleep.“Xavier, it’s almost dusk and most of the people have left. Let’s go back home.” Adeline’s soft voice reached into my ears and her gentle tug on my hand.“I want to stay here for some time. You should go back home with Grandma. She needs you by her side.” I said to her. Her eyes were gloomy as mine but she stood like a rock beside me as she promised to my father.“Xavier, I can’t measure the depth of your pain

[ Adeline ]“Grandma, please eat something. At least, take a glass of milk.” I requested the grieving mother who just returned from her son’s funeral. She had mourned him for a week and now, her tears had dried up.“Come sit with me, dear. This loneliness is killing me.” She said in a low voice. I could feel her pain but she is a brave woman who was trying her best to act calm and hadn’t shed a tear after the burial.I sat down on the opposite chair from her. It was an early winter morning. I decided to stay home most of the time whenever my presence isn’t mandatory at work because grandmother’s health wasn’t good since Arnold’s death.“I have brought some fruits and milk, Grandma. Please, eat something first, not for yourself or anyone but Xavier. He has lost his father and you’re the only parent figure in his life.” I tried again and this time a lone tear escaped from her old eyes.“This regret won’t go from my heart until I die, Adeline. I punished my son for more than thirty years

[ Xavier ]I had been dealing with this dilemma for three days. I also consulted with my lawyers and ask them to find a way out of this mess but they all advised me that I should talk and try to negotiate with Alessandro De Niro and annul the conditions or pray the god to not bless me with a girl.“This is insane. Why did you do it, Dad?” I let out my frustration in the whiff of smoke. I rarely smoke and it was one of the moments and I feel totally lost, all the doors seemed to be closed for me.“Sir, I think you should talk to this Alessandro guy first. I have done a deep investigation on his background and whatever I found out, you may not be pleased after learning about his family background.” Zach, whom I gave the task to find everything about this squeaky clean man.I put off my reading glasses and gave him a curious look.“I know you want your payment first but this time, it’s about my family or should I say my child’s future who isn’t born yet.” I sighed and scoffed at the ridi

[ Adeline ]“Where is Mr. Xavier Linwood?” I asked the receptionist at the clinic, my heart was beating on a dangerous rate and it’d not calm down until I see my husband unhurt and alive.“They are in the waiting room. Their cuts weren’t bad so we didn’t admit them.” She answered while giving me a weird stare which I ignored and made my way towards the waiting room with hurried steps.I spotted Blaze outside the waiting room with folded hands and a dozen other bulky guards who weren’t familiar faces.“Ma’am, thank god, you’re here. I think Mr. Linwood is losing his mind. Go inside and see yourself how he harassed a guest at the hotel.” Blaze told me and my heart dropped even more.“Don’t scare me now, Blaze. I am already fretting.” I said ignoring the looks I received from those men.“Please, go inside.” He opened the door for me and I entered inside with steady steps.My eyes landed on my husband who was sitting on the sofa with his head leaned on the headset and an icepack on his ha

[ Adeline ]“Look, I am sorry that I lost my temper when he ridiculed my father and I ended up beating him. I also said a few things about his family and their business, it was out of the line but I can’t fathom the thought that I have to give my non-existent daughter in his family, it’s absurd and unacceptable.” Xavier tried to clarify his act once we reached home.I was lost in thoughts. Alessandro and Aitana were dangerous people and having any kind of link with them would not be good for my family but they offered their help to find our enemies who are also very dangerous people. We underestimated them.“Adeline? Please, say something.” He nudged me and I finally looked at him, he was desperate to hear my reaction.“I think you should take some rest, Xavier. We’ll go to the church in the evening. I have promised Grandma and she’d feel better if you also join us.” I said avoiding to respond to his first statement.“We’ll definitely go and I am sorry I wasn’t there with you.” He smi

[ Xavier ]I hate lying to Adeline but I had no other choice, it was a death game and I don’t want to put her life at stake in order to win this war. I received a call from Alessandro De Niro when she went to prepare my coffee. He told me that Arthur is planning to send his mother and Emily to Argentina through a cargo ship since my men have been sniffing them everywhere and they could be caught at airports.Arthur was sending them away means he had something crazy running in his lunatic mind. I had to chase them and stop them from leaving. It was around eleven in the night, when I ensured that Adeline and Grandma were fast asleep, I snuck out of the house as they were about to leave at twelve thirty or one in the midnight.I called Ross and my other men who were working with Aitana’s men as they were professional in this crime world and even police maintain their distance from such shady people.“I am sorry, Ade. I have to do this for us.” I murmured to myself when I glanced at our r
