So, this is the end?" I asked my husband in a weak voice. "I guess, it is. Addison is pregnant and I don't want my child to born a bastard. I must marry her but first we need to get divorced." He replied without any remorse. "When you come back, it'll be too late, Arthur." I said wiping my tears and signed on the death note of my marriage; Divorce Agreement. Addison Greyson's marriage with Arthur Linwood came to a drastic end when he announced his girlfriend Addison's pregnancy to her. She was forcefully betrothed to him and mercilessly thrown out of his life. How would she collect the broken pieces of her life and comes back stronger than ever?
Lihat lebih banyak[ Xavier ]After a long and tiring day, I was returning to my home when I saw my red Audi from my personal collection on the road. It came out of my home and it took me no time to guess who came here. My heart begun to hammer loudly inside my chest. It could only be Emily because no one else can use my cars without my permission and I had parked it in the garage at my residence.As soon as the driver pulled the brakes in front of the house, I climbed out and ran inside the house. Adeline’s mother is unaware of Emily’s existence and if it’s Emily then our truth was out already.I met with complete silence in the house, it was eerie. I looked around but found no one. Adeline’s car was parked outside means she must be in her room. So, without wasting another second, I rushed towards her room and within seconds, I barged inside, without a knock.She was curling her hairs when my unannounced appearance startled her.“Jesus! Can’t you knock, Xav? You scared the shit out of me.” She glared m
[ Adeline ]“Mom, I didn’t want to give you stress and it’s not something that I can’t handle on my own.” I said to my mother while glaring the cunning witch in front of me.The hell will loose break on her if she tries to drag my family in this dirty game.“Ade, this isn’t business or a marital fight between you and Xavier. She is a living human being, your husband’s first wife. Do you have any idea what does it mean?” Mom looked at me painfully, her moistened eyes reflected her pain.“I do understand, Mom but I trust my husband and our love, it isn’t built on straws.” I said with confidence and stole a glance at Emily who winced on my statement.“She’s right, Mrs. Greyson. I was dead for Xavier and the world for two years and if he remarried and found his happiness in Adeline then I am ready to let go off him.” She said to my mother in a very soft tone which anyone could buy easily.“Listen, Ms. Jones. I don’t care what you’re going to do next. I am nobody to interfere in your life
[ Adeline ]“Yes, you have heard right, Caden. Your sister is alive and I am sure that she is back to gain a bigger goal than before. Please, help me and I promise you that I’d hire the best attorney to get you out of here very soon. You don’t deserve to suffer for someone’s else’s sins.” I said, he was my last hope to get some dirt on Emily.“I don’t believe anyone. Specially, a Linwood. You are the family of traitors.” He said bitterly.I sucked a deep breath, it was more difficult than I thought. I am sure he was hurt deeply.“You have to trust me, Mr. Jones. I am not one of them, if you don’t believe me, you can ask any police officer here or use your informants. They’ll tell you about me. My husband has no idea about Emily’s true colours and he still trusts her.” I said in a low voice as it hurts me to see how this woman is taking advantage of my husband’s trust and love.“Will you get me out of here if I side with you?” He asked me with a glint of hope in his dull eyes. This ma
[ Adeline ]“Blaze, I have a request from you. I hope your loyalty lies with me because this is something I want you to keep to yourself.” I said to Blaze as the car ran smoothly on the road once I dropped Sandra off at her destination.“Ma’am, I need to know first what is the reason or should I say secret you want me to hide from my employer? You know I have signed a contract of transparency.” He said.I expected the same answer from him. So, I sighed and gestured him to inch closer.“It’s about Emily Jones and her family. I have concrete proofs against her that she used to embezzle money behind Xavier’s back and she is back with same motive or should I say with bigger plans. I believe that yesterday’s incident was orchestrated by her to frame me so Xavier may remove me from his path.His expressions were hard to read but I guess he seemed to be thinking hard.“Are you sure, Ma’am?” He asked me.“One hundred percent and that’s why I have decided to meet someone who can be proved my k
[ Adeline ]“Good morning, Ma’am. You look happy today. I guess Mr. Linwood is the reason.” Sandra, who entered in my cabin, teased me.I leaned on the table and shook my head as a silly smile had been playing on my lips continuously.“Yes, Sandra. He is the reason. You know he handled the whole scandal delicately and advocated me during the dinner at Williamson’s. We are going to organize a charity event for poor women across the country and guess who will be my chaperone?’ I gave her a raised eyes to guess.“Tyler Swift?” She blurted out and I face palmed myself.“Please, come out of your Tyler Swift world, Sandra and no, it’s not your favourite singer but Mrs. Williamson herself. It’s the first time she is offering her voluntary. They have never done it before since they do their own charity work.’ I told her with excitement.She was gaping at me like a fish.What did you just say? Mrs. Williamson, the living symbol of middle age nobility, agrees to be a chaperone at your charity e
[ Adeline ]“Wake up, angel. It’s almost eight.” I heard raspy whisper of my husband and slowly, I opened my eyes only to meet with those honey brown eyes. I wanted to be lost in their depth.“Good morning.” I wished him in a groggy morning voice.He looked more handsome under direct sunlight coming through the window. His soft locks made him look cute. I realised our position, our naked bodies were tangled under the sheets. The last night’s memories flooded back.“You’re blushing, Babe.” He said, his lips curved slightly.I looked away. I bet my cheeks and ears were red. This man succeeds to leave his impression on me. His hand, which was resting on my bare waist, travelled between my thighs and my breath got hitched in my throat. A smirk played on his lips.“I think I should compensate for the last night. I promised you a foreplay but we jumped on the main activity. You see, I am a man of words.” He said in his raspy voice and stroked his fingers on my swollen clit.“Xa…Xavier.” I m
[ Adeline ]“Let’s go inside, it’s getting colder here.” He said after almost an hour. I shivered when a gush of wind touched my bare shoulders and he noticed it.“Yeah, you’re right.” I said in agreement and slowly detached myself from his embrace. Sudden coldness enveloped me but I didn’t get a chance to miss his warmth much as he wrapped his blazer around my torso.“Let me take you inside safely. In case, you decide to drench yourself in rain this time.” He joked and led us inside the house which was mostly dark. Lisa texted me long ago that she had given my mother her meds and left only after she slept.Thankfully, Xavier pulled his sources and removed the video and related articles from the internet. I just prayed that my mother’s friends or relatives wouldn’t open their mouths. I want to tell her everything myself once I feel that she can take the news.We climbed the stairs silently as we didn’t want to disturb my mother’s sleep. My heartbeats were racing. It was only us in a b
[ Adeline ]“I can’t believe, you just made Mrs. Williamson to be a volunteer in your purpose for the orphans and the women who are victim of domestic violence and other crimes.” Xavier said once we headed to our home after I proposed to organize a donation event after a week at the Williamson’s banquet hall in the city.“I thought of this idea after today’s events, you know, I learnt only one good thing from my father which is useful in this case. He used to cover up his company’s loss or Addison’s scandals by organizing such social welfare events. It was another story that the money was fed to his partners.” I said.He entwined our fingers and kissed them.“I am really proud of you, Ade. Tonight, you proved yourself worthy of being the next heir to the Linwood Groups. You have the quality of a leader and I am sure you’d lead this empire to next height.” He said.I smiled and shook my head, “You know I am not made for the dream you are wanting me to live, Xav. Running your business i
[ Adeline ]To say, I wasn’t uncomfortable around the richest and most influential personalities of the city, would be an understatement. They had regal persona and each of them stood out. I inched closer to my husband who seemed my safety wall right in the moment.“There are Mr. and Mrs. Williamson. Let’s meet them first.” He said in my ear and led us to the couple who stood out among the others.“Mr. Williamson, Mrs. Williamson, my heartful wishes on your fifty years of togetherness. I wish you see more years together.” Xavier shook his hand with the man and kissed the woman’s cheek.“Oh, my young boy, Xavier. I thought you won’t be coming tonight.” Mr. Williamson said, his wrinkled eyes gleamed.“And this pretty lady must be your better half?” Mrs. Williamson scanned me from top to bottom, her gaze was intimidating but in a positive way.“Happy wedding anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Williamson. Yes, I am Adeline Greyson, his wife.” I introduced myself and handed her my gift.“Oh My, swe
