[ Xavier ]I felt numb from inside, I was in pain but my tears didn’t melt it out of my heart. I blankly stared at the fresh tombstone of my father’s grave. People are offering their condolences but I hardly paid any attention to them because it was just an obligation for them to be a part of a rich and influential man’s funeral. Very few of them had genuine sympathy for me.I wish I could stay long with him a week ago when he said his last words to us. He knew they were his last moments. Next day, when his nurse went to check upon him, he already slipped into his eternal sleep.“Xavier, it’s almost dusk and most of the people have left. Let’s go back home.” Adeline’s soft voice reached into my ears and her gentle tug on my hand.“I want to stay here for some time. You should go back home with Grandma. She needs you by her side.” I said to her. Her eyes were gloomy as mine but she stood like a rock beside me as she promised to my father.“Xavier, I can’t measure the depth of your pain

[ Adeline ]“Grandma, please eat something. At least, take a glass of milk.” I requested the grieving mother who just returned from her son’s funeral. She had mourned him for a week and now, her tears had dried up.“Come sit with me, dear. This loneliness is killing me.” She said in a low voice. I could feel her pain but she is a brave woman who was trying her best to act calm and hadn’t shed a tear after the burial.I sat down on the opposite chair from her. It was an early winter morning. I decided to stay home most of the time whenever my presence isn’t mandatory at work because grandmother’s health wasn’t good since Arnold’s death.“I have brought some fruits and milk, Grandma. Please, eat something first, not for yourself or anyone but Xavier. He has lost his father and you’re the only parent figure in his life.” I tried again and this time a lone tear escaped from her old eyes.“This regret won’t go from my heart until I die, Adeline. I punished my son for more than thirty years

[ Xavier ]I had been dealing with this dilemma for three days. I also consulted with my lawyers and ask them to find a way out of this mess but they all advised me that I should talk and try to negotiate with Alessandro De Niro and annul the conditions or pray the god to not bless me with a girl.“This is insane. Why did you do it, Dad?” I let out my frustration in the whiff of smoke. I rarely smoke and it was one of the moments and I feel totally lost, all the doors seemed to be closed for me.“Sir, I think you should talk to this Alessandro guy first. I have done a deep investigation on his background and whatever I found out, you may not be pleased after learning about his family background.” Zach, whom I gave the task to find everything about this squeaky clean man.I put off my reading glasses and gave him a curious look.“I know you want your payment first but this time, it’s about my family or should I say my child’s future who isn’t born yet.” I sighed and scoffed at the ridi

[ Adeline ]“Where is Mr. Xavier Linwood?” I asked the receptionist at the clinic, my heart was beating on a dangerous rate and it’d not calm down until I see my husband unhurt and alive.“They are in the waiting room. Their cuts weren’t bad so we didn’t admit them.” She answered while giving me a weird stare which I ignored and made my way towards the waiting room with hurried steps.I spotted Blaze outside the waiting room with folded hands and a dozen other bulky guards who weren’t familiar faces.“Ma’am, thank god, you’re here. I think Mr. Linwood is losing his mind. Go inside and see yourself how he harassed a guest at the hotel.” Blaze told me and my heart dropped even more.“Don’t scare me now, Blaze. I am already fretting.” I said ignoring the looks I received from those men.“Please, go inside.” He opened the door for me and I entered inside with steady steps.My eyes landed on my husband who was sitting on the sofa with his head leaned on the headset and an icepack on his ha

[ Adeline ]“Look, I am sorry that I lost my temper when he ridiculed my father and I ended up beating him. I also said a few things about his family and their business, it was out of the line but I can’t fathom the thought that I have to give my non-existent daughter in his family, it’s absurd and unacceptable.” Xavier tried to clarify his act once we reached home.I was lost in thoughts. Alessandro and Aitana were dangerous people and having any kind of link with them would not be good for my family but they offered their help to find our enemies who are also very dangerous people. We underestimated them.“Adeline? Please, say something.” He nudged me and I finally looked at him, he was desperate to hear my reaction.“I think you should take some rest, Xavier. We’ll go to the church in the evening. I have promised Grandma and she’d feel better if you also join us.” I said avoiding to respond to his first statement.“We’ll definitely go and I am sorry I wasn’t there with you.” He smi

[ Xavier ]I hate lying to Adeline but I had no other choice, it was a death game and I don’t want to put her life at stake in order to win this war. I received a call from Alessandro De Niro when she went to prepare my coffee. He told me that Arthur is planning to send his mother and Emily to Argentina through a cargo ship since my men have been sniffing them everywhere and they could be caught at airports.Arthur was sending them away means he had something crazy running in his lunatic mind. I had to chase them and stop them from leaving. It was around eleven in the night, when I ensured that Adeline and Grandma were fast asleep, I snuck out of the house as they were about to leave at twelve thirty or one in the midnight.I called Ross and my other men who were working with Aitana’s men as they were professional in this crime world and even police maintain their distance from such shady people.“I am sorry, Ade. I have to do this for us.” I murmured to myself when I glanced at our r

[ Xavier ]The gunshot echoed in the air and chaos erupted when the dock workers began to scream and run here and there but I wasn’t hurt, neither did any of our men but I heard painful screams of Emily, she was rolling on the ground clutching her leg. She was shot on the leg. Linda was terrified, she couldn’t move from her place.“Sorry, you could be dead if I hadn’t shot her. Don’t worry, she’ll only have a limp leg for the rest of her life.” Aitana said blowing air on her gun’s mouth.“Take them away from here. We can’t stay here for long or we’ll get caught.” I commanded to my men and they quickly rushed towards the women.“Arthur isn’t here yet, I have to wait for him. Can you take care of these women?” I asked Aitana, it was an indirect request but she is professional in dealing with such criminals in her own way.“These ladies will experience the best service today.’ She smirked and gestured her men to follow her out of the port area.“Sir, the police will catch us.” Ross said,

[ Adeline ]I couldn’t understand how my life flipped upside down in a blink of a moment. The death was approaching me slowly but all of a sudden, Xavier was the one, laying on the ground in the pool of his blood, his eyes on me until they closed and he had fallen lifeless on the ground.My world crashed down, my husband was shot right in front of my eyes and I couldn’t move or rush to him, I was frozen on my spot.“No! Xavier!” I screamed.I didn’t realise who untied me because I crawled my way to my husband. I patted his cheeks vigorously, “Xavier, open your eyes. You can’t die. Please, look at me.” I cried profusely but he didn’t respond.“Adeline, step aside. We have to take him to the hospital.” I heard Aitana’s voice but I shook my head negatively.“No, I am not leaving him. He will wake up. My Xavier is a strong man. He can’t die.” I again patted his head.“He’ll definitely die if you won’t let us take him to the nearest hospital. For God’s sake, use your brain and let’s rush t

[ 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

Chapter - [ 211 ]

[ 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
