The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss Chapter - [ 73 ]
[ 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 walked aimlessly on the street after my stressful meeting with my father. I didn’t realise what time it was but it was pitch dark since the weather became rainy again. I cried sitting near the grave of my grandmother, it was easier to share my pain with dead than a living person.My mind was numb but body ached since I had no how long I have been walking. I didn’t want to go back home. Xavier will definitely find out why what I am hiding from him, from his family and this cruel world. No one will feel my pain and the reason behind my decision. No one knows how many nights I spent crying my loss. It was my first child but I wasn’t ready to become a mother nor I was a moralist. His or father gave me unforgettable scars that will go with me to my grave.A car was honking behind me but I didn’t bother to turn back or move aside, at this point, I wanted that car to crush me over and my miseries will end. The car stopped with a screech beside me. Then I was forced to look at t

[ 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

[ Xavier ]“The son of a bitch. How he dared to blackmail my wife with something that left scars on her memories. He ridiculed her pain. Now he must pay the price.” I punched the nearest wall.Adeline slept soon after having her dinner, she barely ate anything. After tucking her in her bed, I decided to read the file further that Tristan gave me. I have to bring him down as soon as possible. He preyed on my mother and now he’s after his own daughter who is my wife now. The whole night I couldn’t catch a blink of sleep. Her crying face kept dancing in my mind.He would be a dead meet if he tries to pull another silly stunt to hurt Adeline mentally or emotionally. I must stop him and I know what exactly I should do.I furiously dialled my trusted man’s number. Adeline took a promise from me that I’d not harm Lucas’ business. She wants her cousin to have it once her father pays for his crimes, it was already fixed that Lucas Greyson would rot in prison for the crimes he did in his past.

[ Adeline ]My heart wasn’t at ease since I woke up from a dreamless sleep. Xavier left for work before me. I couldn’t blame him since my sleep was broken at eight. He left a note for me on my bedside table that he’d come back early from the office. He asked me to go out with him. He never fails to grab a chance for dates.I also haven’t much to do at office. So, I decided to say yes to his offer. I left him a quick text knowing he must be engrossed in his work.It’s four in the evening, I came out of my office building. Xavier would return around six means I still I have two hours. I missed my mother but I couldn’t go back to that house. Although, Xavier assured me that my father wouldn’t hurt a single hair on my head but facing him is a total different case. He terrifies me.“Ma’am, where do you want to go?” Blaze asked me. How could I forget about him. He had been breathing on my neck since I left for work in the morning. No doubt, he had received strict orders from his employer.“

[ Adeline ]“What a pleasant surprise! Your presence is an honor for me and all my employees, sister.” Addison faked happiness and slow clapped her hands.“Just drop the act and save our time, Addie.’ I rolled my eyes as she swing on her chair like a boss but she looked ridiculous.“Take a seat first, Ade. I do not want you to complain later that “La Voda” doesn’t treat their guests properly and this fucking media is a pet of your husband’s.” She said with bitterness.“Don’t worry, Addie. I won’t leave a bad review because I am not here as your guest.” I said and sat down on the chair with crossed legs, “Anyways, let’s come to the subject without dragging this conversation longer than necessary.” I said with confidence, she couldn’t intimidate me anymore.“What brings you here, Adeline? You don’t love me and the feeling is mutual here. So, tell me what do you want from me?” She asked me with raised brow.“I need some answers from you and I want honesty because it’s related to both of

[ Adeline ]“How was your meeting with your sister?” Xavier asked me.“I won’t say it was very positive but there was no violence, so I guess it ended on a good note because I just put a leash on my sister.” I said and remembered Addison’s mortified face.“Is there anything you want to tell me?” He narrowed his eyes at me.“Actually, yes. There’s something I found out recently but I waited for the right moment to come.” I said and gauged his reaction first, he looked curious now.“Adeline, just spill the beans already.” He gave me a narrowed look.“I hired a private investigator to spy on my sister who doesn’t use brain as much as she uses her pussy and recently, he made a very interesting discovery about her.” I grinned at him, it was my first step of my revenge towards my sister.“I think we need to sit down because I can tell by reading your face that it’s an explosive discovery,” He narrowed.“Yes, Xavier.” I said and we sat down on the marble bench of our garden. We cancelled our

[ Adeline ]The fresh but humid air of a new country touched my face when we landed on a private air strip in Navarra.It was already noon, the sun was hot and scorching but I felt good to be away from home for a while. Xavier was right behind me, he placed his hand on my waist.“I think you’re really liking this place, don’t you?” He asked me, I couldn’t see his eyes because of his shades but I knew he was teasing me since I am not a big fan of warm places.“I want to see our villa first then I’ll shower and eat something and then I’ll sleep for a while I couldn’t sleep for whole night. I hate being on height.” I yawned since it was a very tiring and uncomfortable journey for me even though it was a luxurious private plane owned by Linwoods.“You have a lot of complains, Mrs. Linwood, I’ll arrange a spa and massage for you if you want.” He said and opened the car door for me which was already arrange for us.“No, thanks, I want my privacy intact and to be honest, I don’t like body ma

[ 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
