[ Adeline ]A marriage for some people is a union between two lovers who wants to spend their lives together. For people like I and Arthur, it is a diversion in order to attain a prize."So, this is true?"I glanced down on the papers, the black ink on white papers were mocking on my fate."I guess, it is. Addison is pregnant and I do not want my child to born a bastard. I must marry her before the end of this month and it can't happen until you sign these papers of marriage annulmentDon't worry, you'll get the compensation. " He said without any remorse.He made it clear since the beginning of this marriage. He has loved my sister Addison since the high school.It was my parents' pressure or rather I should say condition that Arthur must marry me, the elder daughter of Greyson family and he did but he couldn't accept me by heart."I won't divorce you, Arthur." I threw the papers away. My heart rioted inside my chest, a wave of pain surged through me."Do not test my patience, Adelin

[ Adeline Linwood ]Walking aimlessly on the deserted streets of the city in the earliest hours of morning, I could barely feel anything on my numb body, the chilly air brushing my cold skin, I tried to focus on the road not caring about the surroundings.I was alone and anything might happen to me, from robbery to rape, anything but at this point, I didn’t care.While strolling absent-minded, my feet tumbled on a stone and I lost my balance. I roughly hit my forehead on the sharp edge of a stone flake on the lamppost base. I winced as I felt red liquid on my finger tips. Sighing, I looked around. I thought I had to find a shelter for the night.Suddenly, I heard deep footsteps approaching me. I was near a river bank and no one around. My heart begun to beat loudly in fear.“Do you usually go out alone for a late night walk or tonight is special?” A deep, smooth voice came from behind me, one I recognized. I slowly craned my neck and came face to face with the familiar figure of my br

[ Arthur Linwood ]I closed my eyes as exhaustion consumed my body and mind after working tirelessly for hours and then babysitting my thirteen months old son. He was sick and no one could handle her, not even his nanny. I glanced at the clock, it was ten thirty in the night and there’s no sign of my wife. She has been busy in her new project which took her most of the time.“Sir, should I bring you something to eat?” A maid asked me as I was rocking a whining child.I lifted my heavy eye lids, she had sympathy on her face. I hate when my house staff gives me such looks.“Serve the dinner, I’ll be there after tucking Adam in his crib and send his nanny.” I instructed her.I had to hire a full-time nanny because Addison’s working schedule never gives her enough time to spend with her own child. We had a few fights lately but I came with the terms of taking care of my child on my own responsibility.The nanny came minutes later, I carefully handed her the baby and stood up, my muscles a

[ Adeline Greyson ]After the wait of an year, I felt an unexplainable feeling as I landed on my homeland. The air brushed, I immediately fell in love with the city where I belong.It didn’t change but I was a whole new person. When I left behind my past, I was a broken woman with nothing but hope and now, I am back to take back what was being snatched from me except the despicable man Arthur.“I love this hair style, Ade and this brunette colour suits your new personality.” Xavier’s voice forced me to turn and saw Xavier standing at a distance with his hands thrusted in his pants’ pockets.“And this light stubbles suits you, Mr. Linwood.” I said while I walked towards him. I was meeting him after two months. He used to come to London to visit me as a friend who was my well wisher and of course, the business which needed my signatures.“I’ll drop you off at your parents’ place first. They’re eagerly waiting to meet you. There’s a lot I need to discuss with you since you have been out

A week later...[ Adeline Greyson ]I don't know why even I'm doing this? I promised myself that Arthur will be buried in the deepest layer of my past where I'd never go back and look forward to a bright future but when I came back home, the passion to avenge.Revenge gives more satisfaction when its served cold.I hated Arthur Linwood and my sister. They played with my emotions and stabbed me on the back.Tonight will be my night to shine. I was ready to strike back on Arthur, Addison and Linda. The woman made my life living hell. She was a cobra, so venomous both with her words and actions."Are you ready, Ade?"Xavier's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I stared at his reflection in the mirror.He looked ridiculously handsome in a tailored black suit. I never paid attention on his features closely because I was busy worshipping my husband.His black hairs are styled and his cheekbones are adorned with light stumbles. His thin lips looked so kissable. I remembered when he kissed m

[ Adeline Linwood ]“My dear, Adeline. I have no words to express how I am feeling right now after seeing you with my son, Xavier. I wish I had made this choice last time.” Arnold Linwood opened his arms for me. He and Xavier were only people who liked me in the Linwood family.“Everything happens for a reason, Arnold.” I said.“I can not wait to introduce my son and his wife to the world. I have two reasons to celebrate tonight.” Arnold said.“Dad, I don’t think it’s a good idea, I mean Arthur and Addison are celebrating their second anniversary. I do not want to steal the highlight from them.” Xavier orchestrated.“No, for me, my sons’ happiness is equal. I gave up the hope that one day, you’ll find someone and start fresh and I can’t be more happier when you chose your best friend and my favourite daughter-in-law, Adeline.” Arnold was beaming and it made me guilty.“As you wish, Dad.” Xavier sighed.“Make a grand entry in next two minutes because I am going to address my guests now

[ Adeline Linwood ]“Adeline, I am quite surprised to see you back and that also a Mrs. Linwood. You amaze me with your shades but this one is the best.” Linda used a very calculative language. The pun was brilliantly laced in sophisticated dictionary. The sweetness is her voice was disturbing.“Linda, it’s an honour to receive such appreciation from you. in fact, you’re my inspiration.” I smiled. I also learnt to play this game in her way.“I am your inspiration. Well, I am flattered but may I know how?” She laughed.“Yes, your criticism of my uselessness pushed me to change myself for better and see, I am a university topper in business administration. Thank you, Linda for being the reason of my freedom and success.” I taunted her in the sweetest manner.Her eyes turned dark, she was trying her best to mask her anger and I really enjoyed her situation.“Excuse me, Mrs. Linwood, can I steal my wife for a moment?” Xavier interrupted our delightful conversation by kissing my cheek.“Ta

[ 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,

[ 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
