[ Xavier ]

To say, I wasn't scared to my death, would be a plain lie. I felt my heart nearly stopped beating when I saw Adeline rolling towards the lake and I knew if she'd fallen into the freezing cold and deep water, she may not make it out alive and I would have lost the love of my life once again and this time, I'd not be able to survive.

Adeline is my lifeline and losing her means I'll lose myself.

"I am sorry, Xavier. I am already feeling like shit and your silence isn't helping either." She said giving me a puppy face.

"Adeline, I won't lie to you, I am really mad at you for lying to me. You could have died there and we may not be able to even trace your body. Do you really think it's a way of having fun because I wasn't entertained." I gave her a peace of my mind.

We were back inside our cabin. The skiing was stopped by the rescue team as there was a risk of avalanche and they'd not take risk with another tourist's life.

I bet Adeline had received many curses from those who c

    [ Adeline ]"This is a dream."I whispered to myself as we stared at the wonder of the nature above us. The aurora green light aka Northern lights were what I could see as far as my gaze could take me."This is reality, Ade. You're living your dream. I hope it made you happy because I can't see the smile I crave for." He said looking at me and it forced me to finally tear my gaze from the magical lights to my husband."What?" I gave him a confused look, "I don't understand what you mean, Xav. I am happy, I really am." I tried to convince him."Look at me, love." He cupped my face and rubbed his thumbs on my numb cheeks, "I know I have been hard on you but you have to understand that you're the only person whom I can call my family and probably the only person whom I love and die for. I can't imagine my existence without you, Adeline and when I saw you escaping death narrowly, it was the worst experience of my life, more than what I felt when I heard the news of Emily drowning in a str

    [ Xavier ]It was the best moment of my life. Yes, the best moment because for the first time something I never expected would happen, happened.Adeline confessed that she loves me too and it threw me over the moon. Finally, I have a hope in my life, my sunshine, my wife, Adeline.“What are you thinking, husband?” Her sleepy voice forced me to look down at the naked beauty in my arms, she was cuddling with me after a tiring love making. We didn’t go kinky as I said to her because she was gradually coming out of her shell and I didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable or shut me out.“Back to the earth, husband.” She said tickling my waist but I grabbed her hand and placed it on my semi hard dick, her smile dropped and she found it hard to look at me.“I prefer your touch here, wife. Now you can move your hand as much as you want.” I said to her and removed mine to see what will she do.“Xav…I..didn’t..mean to-“ I shut her by kissing her already swollen lips and rubbed her pussy, she was

    [ Adeline ]The day had finally arrived when we had to return to our real life, our home. People miss their homes, their families when they go away from them but I didn't miss anything because my home and my family is Xavier and he has been with me.I'll definitely miss our moments together. We made great memories, he was true to his words, he made every single moment of this trip special for me. He treated me like his queen and never showed any ounce of disrespect or tried to dominate me.He gave wings to my wishes and helped me in self exploration."What are you thinking, baby girl?" He whispered in my ear and slowly raked his arms around my waist from behind as I packed the last items in the bag."I'll miss this place, I'll miss everything about this trip." I told him the truth.He slowly turned me around so we could face each other and kissed my forehead. I love his forehead kisses, it gives me a kind of comfort that I can't explain in words."Hey, don't be sad. We can go for anot

    [ Xavier ]"Finally home." Adeline sighed shaking her head when we landed on the soil of our home city."Yeah, home. Let's hurry up. I want to take a long shower and catch some sleep as I have an urgent high level meeting with my financial department on the current crisis." I said, I received mail from my P.A. on the situation where my immediate action was needed."You can't do it tomorrow? We have a long flight and you barely rested. I don't want you to over exert yourself, Xavier." She rubbed my forearm, concern was written on her gorgeous face."I will my love but it can't wait for tomorrow." I kissed her lips and the driver opened the door of the awaiting car.Blaze was waiting for us with our cars."Welcome back, Mr. and Mrs. Linwood. I hope you had a great trip." He greeted us."Are you still going to loom over my head?" Adeline groaned seeing her bodyguard."Yes, Ma'am. I have a one year contract." Blaze replied to her causing her to scoff and I chuckled.

    [ Xavier ]I felt like the earth slipped beneath my feet. I felt numb and couldn't process whether it was my dream or the reality on which I couldn't believe because ghosts doesn't exist. "Xavier..." She whispered again, her lips quivered as she uttered my name.Yes, it was her, the same face with shortened hairs and same melodious voice."Xavier, it's me, your Emily." She said again and took slow steps towards me."No, it's..it's not true. It...can't be possible. You're not real." I shook my head and turned to look at Adeline, her face had the same mortified expression on her face.She was confused, clueless, just like me and we were staring at each other. I was about to say something when two arms wrapped around me and I smelled the same fragrance after two years, same touch. It was indeed Emily who was hugging me. My mind was still clouded. I couldn't decide whether I should feel happy or sad or shocked. It was the biggest surprise of my life."You have no idea how much I misse

    [ Xavier ]Excruciating silence sprawled in the air. Emily was staring at me with tear filled eyes. I was being honest with her. I felt torn apart between my past and present.“Xavier, I don’t know what to say. I came all my way back here to be with my husband and here, I found he has moved on from me and found another life partner. I have no family, no one or no place to go. You were my only family.” She sniffed looking down at the floor. “I am sorry, Em. I would have never replace you if I knew that you were alive. You know I am a loyal man.” I said.“Does it matter now? You have a wife now and you’re in love with her. what should I say?” She threw her hands in the air.“I am still your family, Em. I won’t let you go anywhere. You can stay here until we find a place for you. Please, I beg you, Emily.” I said and tried to hold her hand but she distanced herself from me.“You want me to live in the same house where you live with your wife and die thousand death when I see her in your

    [ Adeline ]I couldn't believe that life would take this turn for me when I thought I reached at the end of the tunnel and the light is waiting for me.Whom am I blaming? My fate has always been like this to me, cruel and merciless. When I assumed, finally it showed some mercy on me, I was fooled again.Impossible happened. Xavier's first wife has returned from the dead. It sounds impossible to believe but she was there, the woman whom he loved more than his own life, perhaps he still does. I saw my world crumbling down in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything but watched it go down the drain. What if he chooses her over me all over again?He still loves her. She's a very beautiful and amazing woman. I couldn't judge her wrong. I got positive vibes from her and my reaction would have been the same if I was in her shoes.Still it pains a lot to imagine him slipping away. This time, I'd not be able to bear the pain of heartbreak. I won't be able to survive since he has become m

    [ Adeline ]Relief washed over Xavier’s face when he saw me but I couldn’t say the same about his first wife, who clearly ignored my presence and pretended to eat her breakfast. Xavier rose from his seat and gave me a quick peck on the lips. I stole a glance at her who winced when she saw it.I seated on the farthest seat from them and didn’t try to hide my discomfort since Emily occupied my seat.“Why are you sitting here? Come and sit with me.” Xavier said to me with a frown.“I think I am good here. Moreover, I am getting late for office.” I said plainly and served myself a very small portion of oats and omelette. The more I stay in the same vicinity as them, the more it’ll make me feel uncomfortable.His face morphed with disappointment but he said nothing and sat down on his previous place.I took out my phone and started reading my business mails while eating my breakfast. I could feel their eyes on me but I pretended to be oblivious.“Adeline, Emily, I think we should talk. It

    [ 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
