[ 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

    [ Adeline ]For a moment, none of us spoke a word. Our eyes were raking on each other's body shamelessly. "May I touch you?" He asked me again like a gentleman and I loved it. It was a passive assurance from his side that he'd never hurt me.I nodded my head in response since I lost my voice."Words, Adeline. I need words from your sweet voice." He repeated. The look of amusement on his face was indicating me that he's playing with me."Yes, Xavier. You can touch me." I said somehow. My panties were soaked hard.He palmed my breasts and didn't move or withdraw his hands for a few moments.I sucked a deep breath, his touch was like a pure bliss. It created havoc in my system and I felt my long dead desires to come back to life once again.Gently he managed them and a soft moan escaped my mouth. He was toying with them. My nipples were hard against the continous friction of his palms. "Do you want me to suck you?" He asked."Yes.." I desperately nodded my head.He laid me down on the

    [ Adeline ]I could still feel his lips everywhere on my body and how he made me cum. I never knew an orgasm could feel like this. I never experienced one by a man.I self pleasured myself before but cumming by a man is extraordinary when the person is someone very special for you. "Ma'am, are you there?" Sandra's voice pulled me out of my trance.She was waving her hand in front of my face. "Oh yeah, the meeting was very positive. I guess we'll grab this deal." I said with a smile to hide my thoughts. "Ma'am, your cheeks are flushed. Are you having fever?" Sandra's brows scrunched up."No, I am fine, Sandra. Let's go and grab our lunch. I haven't eaten my breakfast in hurry. So, I am starving." I said to divert her mind from further interrogation. She looked shocked."You want to have lunch with me, Ma'am?" She asked me since I eat in my personal room."Yes, is there any problem or you eat with your friends?" I asked to confirm but the truth is, Sandra is a very smart woman. I wa

    [ Adeline ]I looked around the quiet cemetery but there was no sign of my blackmailer. I had been waiting there for over fifteen minutes. My anxiety grew with passing minutes because the secret he or she laid their hands on, it has the power to change my present life. I had to reach the person and ask them what exactly they want from us. I didn’t come in the notice of the others because my grandmother is buried in the cemetery. I chose her grave’s spot to wait for the blackmailer.“Finally, I have the pleasure to see my beautiful daughter’s face after a long time.” I heard my father’s voice and I swiftly turned around. He was holding a bunch of roses which he placed on the grave.“My mother was a great woman but she had a soft heart just like you, my sweet child and you know, it led to her ultimate demise. She killed herself because she couldn’t bear to see her husband cheating behind her back.” My father told me the story I knew since my childhood about my grandmother’s suicide. It

    [ Adeline ]“I don’t care what you have done in your past, it really doesn’t matter to me, Ade. So, please stop here if it’s something that gives you pain.” Xavier tried to convince me that he was okay with me not matter what I had done in my past.“No, Xavier, if I don’t share it with you now, I fear it’ll eat me from inside.” I said. I took a pause to prepare myself.“Alright, I am listening if you really want to do it.” He gave my hands a comforting squeeze. “I was pregnant when I divorced Arthur. I found out in London.” I let the most bitter sentence leave my tongue.His posture stiffened, “But you said it was your trick to instigate Arthur?” He questioned me.“I lied to you and I feel terrible from inside. It was a tainted memory. Arthur left me because he got my sister pregnant. My fate also blessed my womb after two years of failed attempts, mental abuses, physical pain and taunts. That baby could be the reminder of my hellish two years as Arthu

    [ 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
