Semua Bab The Ex-husband's Regret: CEO'S Ex-Wife Returns As Boss : Bab 111 - Bab 120

[ Xavier ]Many thoughts kept swirling inside my mind as I left my house to see my wife. Emily had already retired to her room. The house felt empty and haunted without Adeline my side. I missed her terribly. It was the longest time since we got married when I've not seen her except for working hours. She told me not to follow her but I'd not listen to her this time. I can't lose my wife due to some dilemma I am facing. Blaze kept me updated on her. He and his wife helped her to settled down in the villa and on my insistence, they're staying at the villa to keep her company. "Sir, we have arrived." My driver informed me as the car stopped with a screech. I looked out of the window.For the first time in two years, this house looked lively. My heartbeats accelerated in an anticipation to see her. I hope she doesn't back away or shut me out this time. I need her, she needs me.With steady steps, I made my way inside the house. The guards outside greeted me. Everything looked on its

[ Adeline ]I cried and cried hard after I rejected my husband. I heard his car driving off. He left, he kept his promise. My eyes began to sting after crying for hours but the pain didn't subside. It intensified even more.I laid back on my bed which felt cold because I had grown habituated to sleep in my husband's arms.My eyes fell on the folder which had been waiting for me to open and find out about Emily and how she is.My husband must be blind in her love but I wasn't a fool. I made this mistake before but this time, I won't be doing the same thing again. Emily must accept her defeat.I sat straight on the bed and switched on the night lamp to read the file in peace. With nervous heart, I opened the folder and scanned the general details on her.It didn't catch my curiosity since it contained her parents, birth, schooling and early life's details which Arthur already told me. I flipped the next page and from there, her life became interesting like a movie."Emily Jones was exp

[ Adeline ]"Ade, I have promised my friend to keep it between us. I think you should ask Xavier. I have given all the related information on your father to him." Travis said. "Alright, I can understand." I pressed a smile but I really wanted to know my father's deeply rooted evil which I failed to realize before."But I can tell you, he is the biggest enemy you can have if you don't balance your equation with Lucas Greyson. He is an old player in this game and believe me, he'd not hesitate for bloodshed if it requires for him to take his enemies down." Travis told me everything in less words."Thanks, Travis. I really needed a friend to talk." I expressed my gratitude for him."Anytime, Mia Cara." He winked at me before leaving my office.First step done and now time for my next step. My heart craved to see my husband and run into his arms. Last night, I really wanted him but my pride came in between my feelings for him. I broke his heart but I can still not erase the image of them

[ Xavier ]The tears in Adeline's eyes give me the most numbing pain than a wound. When Sandra called me and told me that Adeline wasn't herself and exploded, hurting herself in the process.Initially, I thought it was I, whose anger she pelted on her office but when I saw her and the vulnerability in her eyes, I could tell that the story was quite opposite. She looked defeated."Are you going to say something?" Travis asked me."What do you want to hear, Travis?" I looked at him, the glass of my drink kept untouched as I have been engrossed in brainstorming. "Your beautiful wife hurt herself and turned her office upside down, it's unsual for an elegant and patient woman like Adeline to lose her temper like this." He said emptying his third glass."Lucas fucking Greyson, he is blackmailing my wife with her mother's name. Mrs. Greyson had a cardiac arrest last week, she is on medication and the bastard is saying that he'd stop her treatment if Adeline won't comply to his wishes." I t

[ Adeline ]I felt a strange settlement in my heart after my breakdown in front of Xavier who again presented himself as my knight in shining armor. He promised to bring my mother safely to me but I couldn't calm my heart and mind.I still worried about my mother who needs tending and a healthy atmosphere to get well soon. My father's toxic vicinity will only worsen her condition and I can't lose my mother. I was pacing too and fro in the living room of the villa. Lisa came twice to ask me whether I need a cup of coffee to kill my anxiety but I refused."Ma'am, killing the poor floor won't help you. Let me make a strong cup of coffee or chamomile tea to give you some relief." Lisa again came with worry itched on her face. "I don't need anything, Lisa. Thanks, for taking care of me but you can rest now." I passed her a smile which didn't reach to my eyes."I have prepared the dinner, Ma'am. Please, eat properly before you sleep." She reminded me and signed in surrender as I reluctantl
