[ Adeline ]The cold breeze of the midnight kissed my face, I tried to forget Arthur’s words kept ringing into my ears and every time they hurt even more. His thoughts haven’t changed even when I left him without putting a fight or asking for more alimony, during our married days, I never asked him for extravagant gifts.“What are you doing here at this hour, Ade?” Xavier’s voice pulled me out of my trance. He stood beside me. None of us exchanged a word as the silence was soothing.“Arthur, how could he step this low? I mean he has no decency left. He called a slut when he knew very well that I never allowed any other men touch me except him, he was the first man who took my every first.” I poured my pain in front of him.“Does his thinking matter? He is the worst scumbag I have ever known. Our father gave us everything equally, in fact, he spent more time at home with him while I was sent to a boarding school because Linda was insecure of me. They are the meanest creature, Ade. So,

[ Arthur Linwood ]"HOW DARE SHE?"I yelled on the top of my lungs even though my vocal cord hurt but the anger was overpowering my rational mind."HOW COULD SHE ABORT MY CHILD?" I punched the glass window and it shattered into shards. A sharp pain shot through my knuckles as some pieces pierced deep in my skin."Calm down, baby. Why are you punishing yourself for that bitch?" Addison rubbed my back while cursing her sister."She aborted my child, Addison and you expect me to calm down?" I glared at her murderously. Sensing my sour mood, she backed away."You are a stupid man, Arthur. Adeline Greyson fucked you many times but your blinded ego couldn't see it. So, stop behaving like a four years old kid, act on your next move. She snatched our heir from us, your child. You must destroy her and her new lover." My mother, who had been watching over me from a distance, said."Dad insulted me in front of everyone in my own fucking party and you want me to act rationally and wait for the ri

[ Adeline Linwood ]"Are you ready? Today is a big day for us and for Arthur. He'll be out on hunt for a new partner to save his sinking ship while yours will set for it's maiden voyage." Xavier said.I was both nervous and excited for my new inning."Do I look good?" I asked Xavier for his opinion about my dressing since I never tried wearing professional suits. So, I wasn't sure about my appearance."You're looking amazing, Ade. A badass businesswoman, I must add but there's something which will complete your look." He said.I watched him with curiosity as he fished out a small blue box. It was from Tiffany."What is it, Xav?" I finally asked him.He opened the lid and my eyes widened in admiration. It was a beautiful gold brotch with diamonds studded in the design of a rose."Wow! This is so beautiful. Did you buy it for me? It's quite expensive." I looked at him because I didn't feel good to take such pricey gift from him."No, it's my mother's. She used to wear it when she went f

[ Adeline Linwood ]I was engrossed preparing for another meeting scheduled for the next day after my successful meeting with the owners of Clark Company and they were positive about our deal. I offered them a cheaper deal than Arthur.The drafts were signed right at the spot, just the legal procedure was yet to be done.My intercom buzzed. I put the receiver on the speaker."Ma'am, there's Mr. Arthur Linwood over the line. He wants to speak with you. Shall I transfer the call?" I heard Sandra and my fingers stopped writing down my notes."Transfer it." I said and waited to hear Arthur's reaction.My heart was bursting with joy."Adeline Greyson, I swear if I see you I'm going to kill you with my bare hands." I heard Arthur growling from the other side."Excuse me, Mr. Linwood. Did you call me just to give me threats? If you don't have anything better to do, just let me work because I am a busy person." I gave wind to his wounded ego."Do not try to shift the subject, Adeline. I know

[ Adeline Linwood ]"Ma'am, are you okay?"I heard a woman's voice. I recognized her as our maid. I slowly tried to open my eyes and shut them instantly as I felt a sharp pain in my head."Ahh.." I groaned and tried to wake up.I found myself on the floor while my house staff was staring at me with concern."Are you okay, Ma'am? You're laying on the floor." The maid asked me.I recalled Addison's impulsive act. She came here with a vendetta to kill me."I just..I just passed out." I made an excuse because I didn't want my parents to get worried and hate Addison more but it doesn't mean that I'd let her walk away easily. She messed up with a wrong person."Help me." I requested her to help me to get up.They helped me and I sat down on the sofa. My head was throbbing with pain."Here, take this, Ma'am. It'll subside the pain." Another maid handed me a glass of water with a painkiller.I quickly swallowed it and suddenly remembered. I was going to the party but attacked by my lunatic si

[ Adeline Linwood ]"You look quiet and lost since you entered in the party, Ade. Tell me, what's the matter. Did you receive another threat from Arthur?" Xavier asked me while offering me a glass of gin."The party was a huge success. I just hope, they get the message. By the way, you invited Linda? I mean it was quite unexpected to see her with Arnold." I asked him rather than answering his question. I wasn't sure if he'd take it patiently."Linda is a mystery, Ade. We both know how she works under the rug. She's the snake, always near but hidden in the grass, you can hear her hissing and crawling around you but she never bites. Creating fear is her move and it works." He said pouring another glass for himself."It's around two in the morning, Xav. You shouldn't be drinking more." I advised him."I don't drink often unless it's a moment to celebrate. Today, you marked your first impression on many. I met half a dozen corporate groups who are eager to work with you." He said."One st

[ Adeline ]The night was excruciatingly long for me as sleep was far from my eyes. I was tired yet I couldn't sleep. Throughout the silent hours of the night, many thoughts were stirring in my mind.Xavier, Arthur, Addison and my future, they kept pulling me into a myriad of conflicts. I slipped out of my bed around four thirty when I felt I couldn't sleep anymore. I wore my jogging shoes and workout clothes and came out of the mansion for a run. I had been working out after the divorce to keep my body in good shape since Addison and Arthur used to ridicule my plump body.I ran faster on the deserted streets. There was no one to disturb me. The sweat and tiring muscles, they couldn't stop me from draining myself out.I ran for almost two hours and when I returned, it was already early morning. I was covered in sweat, so I decided to take a long shower first. "Good morning, wife. If you had told me, we could go together for run." I heard Xavier's smooth voice thus stopping me from

[ Adeline ]The contract sitting in front of my eyes pushed me into an internal battle. In last few days, I had seen a different aspect of life. Xavier was still a stranger to me to some extent. I know very less about him even though we have been in touch since we met. He revealed less about himself except what I should know to balance transparency between us.I was contemplating with the clauses I would want to include in the contract when my cell phone buzzed showing a private number. It brought frown on my forehead since very few people have my personal phone number. With suspicion, I picked the call and put it near my ear.“Hello, who’s speaking?” I asked in a cold tone.“It’s me, my dear ex-wife. I hope my wife gave you a good lesson last night. Consider it as our return gift.” I heard Arthur’s tenacious laughing after he said the words to me.I gritted my teeth. Addison attacked me, I could be seriously injured and this man was having fun. “You know I can easily send your pret
