The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss Chapter - [ 80 ]
[ 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

[ Xavier ]Adeline's million dollars smile.I can lay myself at her feet or sacrifice everything I own if I've to earn it again. She was resting in her room while I took the moment to reply to some pending mails because for next seven days, I'll dedicate myself to her.I'd do anything and everything for her happiness, I want to heal her wounds by fulfilling her wishes, expressed or hidden in the deepest chamber of her heart. I'll make her mine during this trip."Are you busy?" Her groggy sleepy voice forced me to tear my eyes from my laptop screen to the beauty leaning on the doorframe with messy hairs tied in a bun and swollen eyes. She just woke up and looked really cute. For the first time, I realised she's still a girl but her motherfucker of a father pushed her under the burden of his ambitions and forced her to marry at the tender age of twenty two."No, I'm done for the week. They were just some mails that my subordinates needed to handle everything in my absence." I shut my

[ Adeline ]“This is serene, I can’t describe how I am feeling right now.” I said as we took a walk in the vineyard, the sun was slowly setting, bathing the earth in its pink hue. The wind had picked up its speed which was pleasant in a humid region.“Tell me more about yourself, Adeline. I want to know you better.” Xavier said to me. His honey brown eyes looked more enchanting when they sparkled in the sunlight.“What do you know about me, I think you already know everything about me. what else is there to tell you?” I replied.“Something that nobody knows about Adeline not Adeline Greyson. I want to know what you know about yourself, Ade.” He said and it wasn’t something I expected from him. He took interest in knowing me.“There is nothing exciting about me that I can tell you. I am the same as you see and know me, Xav.” I said.“Are you seeing these grapes, they are grown only here, in this region and they are famous for being extra citric but they make the sweetest blend. We have

[ Adeline ]The dinner was delicious. We did little chat since we both were hungry and tired. Maria retired to her room and we had our privacy."I didn't know the nights become colder than days here." I said rubbing my palms. I slept for long hours in the afternoon so sleep was far away from my eyes.No sooner, I finished my sentence, a warm shawl wrapped around my shoulders by Xavier."You predicted that I'll feel cold and presented me with shawl as soon as I expressed myself. You can make a good personal chaperone for me." I teased him."I don't need to be your chaperone or your slave, Ade. Your husband can perform all these duties because keeping you safe, protected, happy and of course, presently warm." He said engulfing me in his arms from behind.My stomach flipped. Our closeness created butterflies inside me."Can I hold you for some time?" He asked me. Such a gentleman, I expect nothing less from him. "Yes, I guess we both aren't sleepy. If you want we can spend some time in

[ Adeline ]I was up early even before the crack of the dawn to stroll through the vineyard for a morning walk since I had no mood for workout. I hadn't checked my phone since we took off from the home and I had no intentions to check upon anyone.I want to live these seven days without worrying for the people who only gave me pain, except my mother.I decided to call her as I missed her. I dialled her number and waited for her to pick up since she's an early riser whereas my father sleeps till late.She picked the phone in the last ring."Hey, Mom, good morning." I wished her."It's twelve am in the midnight, darling. You nearly gave me a heart attack. It's good I do not sleep in the same room as your father." She replied in a very sleepy voice when I realized how big fool I was to call her without realising that there was time zone difference.I mentally slapped myself."Sorry, Mom, it totally slipped from my mind. You can go back to sleep. I'll call you later." I apologized sincere

[ Adeline ]“This is delicious.” I moaned as I chewed on the Spanish tacos like dish at a local restaurant after our adventurous hiking in the mountains.“But it’s a bit too spicy for me.” Xavier said who ordered another dish for him because he couldn’t stand the spiciness of anything in the menu.“We can order something sweet for you if you want.” I said.“No, I am full but I’d prefer to have dinner at the villa.” He waved his hand and we paid our bills.“What is our next destination?” I tilted my head at his direction.“Are you interested in History?” He asked me.“Yes, I do. I love to know about the past of a place. Are we going to visit a museum?” I asked him back.“Yeah, the next place in wish list is a museum and we can also visit a castle tomorrow.” He said.‘Let’s go to the museum then because I don’t want us to waste our time here.” I said with excitement. We clicked many photos together. Xavier is a fun-loving guy. He is a trained hiker who was right behind me all the time.

[ Adeline ]The ride back to the villa was pleasant and quiet, we listened to some music and sang along. I never thought I'd live my life like a free bird.I had been prisoned in a golden cage that I didn't realise it existed around me but I couldn't break it and lived according to other's will.But Xavier changed something in me. He made me realize who really I am. I can live the way I wish."Ade."I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and tilted my head to his side and then looked out of the window, we were back at the villa."Sorry, I zoned out." I yawned."We are back, now you can rest." He said and stepped out of the car and rounded his way to my side."Come, I think it may rain anytime." He said and opened the door for me.When I stepped my feet down the car, I felt the strong wind kissing my body."Hurry up, let's get inside fast." He grabbed my hand and led us inside the villa and at the same time, a loud thunderbolt resonated.I flinched at his side."Don't worry, my love. I am

[ Adeline ]Xavier and I were in my room, sitting on the bed with me between his legs, listening to the soft music and watching the pitter patter of rain outside. It had been hours since we stayed in this position, in comfortable silence. He was playing with my hair locks. I was fiddling with his wedding band while resting my head on his chest which heaved with each of his deep breath."Xavier, are you sleepy?" I tilted my heae slightly and found him already staring down at me."No, and you?" He asked with an upward curve of his lips."Perhaps or maybe not, it's only eleven." I replied. Suddenly, a loud thunderbolt strike which made me flinch in fear. I was shaking profusely. "Fuck! Calm down, baby girl. I am here, you're safe with me." He hugged me protectively and kissed my hairs."Just hold me for a moment, I'll be fine." I whispered and rested my face on his chest. He dropped a feathery kiss on my shoulder blade, sucking on my skin gently. I am sure I felt a sudden jolt of pleas

[ 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
