[ Adeline ]As soon as the car entered inside the premises of the house, Xavier stepped out of the car and stormed inside the house without sparing a glance at my direction.I couldn't deal with his bipolar behavior, so I followed him, practically running behind him to catch his pace."Xavier, we need to talk. You can't run every time like this." I shouted, this time I didn't care if his grandmother would listen to our commotion. He halted in his tracks but he didn't turn or say anything. I took slow steps towards him with hammering heart. "I am sorry, I went a little overboard but you have to understand that I am not a little girl who needs babysitting every time she's in trouble." I put forward my opinion. "It's late, you should go back to your room, Adeline." He said in a flat tone. I could see his veins popping when he spoke to me. "No, I am not going anywhere neither are you." I refused to obey his words and grabbed his hand.He was a little surprised by my move but he didn'
[ Adeline ]"Tell me when you want me to stop because I'm running thin on my patience with you around me, Ade." He whispered in a thick voice.My whole body was on fire. My core was clenched and tingles were all over my body. He did magic to my body.His hands roamed sensually on my lower back but they didn't advanced down. I badly needed him to touch me intimately but I couldn't ask him."You're very beautiful, Ade. So perfect and all mine." He raised his head from my shoulder, his eyes were dark. I saw desire in them for me.I couldn't speak. As if my voice was possessed by a spirit but I know it was his effect. His presence makes me paralyzed."May I touch you?" He asked me for my permission. It was a gentleman's way which really touched my heart."Yess.." I somehow whispered in between my laboured breathing.His lips curved upward and in the next second, his hands rested on my butt. He gave them a hard squeeze, causing a moan to escape my throat."You're turning me on, Ade. So, st
[ Xavier ]I stared down at the pen drive and then my gaze shifted on the wedding band. Whatever this small device stored, it might change my perception and my motive.I can't afford to hurt Adeline by any mean. Last night was incredible. She agreed to give us a real shot, it was one of the best moments of my life and then she offered me to stay with her in her room.A dreamy smile involuntarily stretched on my lips. I wish I can have the chance to see her angelic face first when I open my eyes like today.I was pulled out of Adeline's thoughts when my phone chimed with a text alert. It was from Tristan, he was asking me whether everything sorted out between I and Adeline and if I saw the information in the pen drive.I sent him a quick text and put my phone on silent while I open the pen drive. I can't take much time because iy home office and it's almost lunch time.I inserted the device in my computer and one by one I opened all the folders. They were balance sheets of my mother's
[ Adeline ]We waited patiently as the old woman shuffled through her cupboard. I stole a glance at Xavier. He was already looking at me.After five minutes or more, she came back holding a square wooden box with beautiful carving on the lid and sat on the edge of her bed."Adeline, you're my granddaughter. I was against your marriage with Arthur because I have known you since your childhood. You're a good person with kind nature and selflessness." She began to speak and the burden on my chest slowly started lifting. "I accepted you as my Xavier's wife the moment I saw you. Your purity was visible on your face when you saw me and tried to run inside the house than acting. You were natural and didn't try to butter me despite my grandson's continuous pressure to put your efforts. I like your honesty, Adeline. So, here is the token of my blessings for you." She said and opened the lid of the box.My eyes widened when I saw jewelries inside. They were expensive gems and pearls in pure go
[ Adeline ]"Good afternoon, neighbors. You made me wait outside your house in a scorching noon. Anyways, I am here to meet my grandmother." Melissa Hart, swayed her hips as she walked in our house.Xavier was having a hard time to control his anger. My condition was no different but it was Grandma's wish to see Melissa. We had to stay quiet for her."Grandmother is in her room. You have ten minutes with her then you must leave or we'll throw you out by ourselves." I said. She raised her brow, "Oh my sweet, Adeline. You can't even if you're desperate to skin me alive. You're too soft to hurt someone." She smiled sickly at me and then moved towards grandmother's room as the maid showed her the way."Let's follow her because I don't trust her at all." Xavier said and tried to move but I caught his wrist. "No, Xavier. We can't go there without grandmother's permission. If she wants us to be present there, she'll call for us. Please, respect her wish and wait here with me." I advised hi
[ Adeline ]"Grandma was savage with Melissa. I don't want to say this but I don't sympathize with her. I mean if her mother was struggling, they should try to reach Arnold before but they choose a time when our family is vulnerable." I said as we sat inside the car after dropping grandmother at Arnold and Linda's house. Xavier, who was lost in his thoughts looked up and smiled slightly at me."What happened, Mr. Linwood? You're already missing your Grandma?" I teased him."Yes, I actually miss her but I can survive as long as I have a beautiful wife saying sweet words to me." He winked at me."Let's go back home. I have to finish a file's final analysis before Sandra upload it on the company's server." I said."Can we leave for our honeymoon now?" He asked me with raised brow."You want us to leave when?" I asked back. "Next week if your schedule is clear for ten days. I do not want us to take our work pressure with us." He said and he was right. There's no meaning of a vacation i
[ Adeline ]When we reached home, it was raining cats and dogs, drenching everything. We also got a little wet.Suddenly, a thunderbolt stuck and the loud sound caused me to flinch and hug Xavier who was walking beside me. I was trembling like a day leaf. I had a bad experience in my childhood which the thunderbolts."Hey, it's okay. You're fine. I am here with you." Xavier hugged me tightly and rubbed my back and hairs to calm me down when another sound echoed.I was shaking profusely by this time. Even Xavier's efforts weren't working."I think it won't stop anytime soon. Come with me, I think I have a solution for your panic attacks." He said and tried to distance me from him but I didn't let go off him."Please, don't leave me, Xavier." I whispered."I am not leaving you, Ade. I am only taking you to my room which is soundproof. You won't hear any sound behind the four walls." He said.His words gave me a little comfort. I slowly detatched myself from his chest and stuck to his si
[ Adeline ]Our lips moved in perfect sync, they molded like they are only made for each other's. His tongue trace the rim of my lips hungrily. So, I gave him the command and waited impatiently for him to please me.Xavier's hands left my cheeks and roamed on my back and bare thighs.The T shirt was lifted up giving him access to my bare inner thighs. My whole body was set on fire. In that moment, I realized that I needed to be touched by the man whom I desired and who has been invading my mind and soul."Fuck! I don't think I'd be able to hold myself back if we don't stop here." He breathed out heavily, our chest were heaving.Our laboured breath echoed in the silent room. Our eyes were locked with each other's. There was want and lust. We both wanted this but none of us wants to break the barrier and cross the invisible line we drew earlier."Don't stop then." I said, taking the lead since he was a pure gentleman but I wanted to see his other side, the one which would send me over m
