[ Adeline ]“Mrs. Linwood, you’re wasting our time. I am not here to have coffee with the person I adore least. So, make it quick.” I said taking a sip from the expresso.“Well, you’re not my most favourite person either.” She chuckled, “I don’t from where to start, my husband surprised everyone last night, you agree with me, right?” She swirled her cup while we watch the birds in the garden. I was getting really late for my office but scratching this woman’s surface to seek my answers was also crucial.“It was but it isn’t related to our conversation?” I gave her a questioning look.“Oh, it is, my dear.” She said. She was still not dropping the act and I didn’t had the day to bear her hollow show of an elite lady.“Well, then let’s talk about Arnold’s will. I guess you want to talk about it only because I reap the fruit of your hard work and patience of years.” I didn’t hide the pun in my words.“You’re partially right here but it’s not entirely true. I always aim for big, Adeline. I

[ Adeline ]My meeting with my father and how he showed me one of his undiscovered shade, kept revolving inside my head and it begun to throb with a mild headache.How could he ask me to do something I would never do? I agree that he was hurt, Xavier's mother turned out to be his sister and he strongly believes that Arnold had something to do with her death.I have to meet Arnold as soon as possible because he's the only person who can give all of my answers.With all these thoughts running inside my brain, I didn't realize when I reached home. It was Blaze who knocked on the car window.He opened the car door for me and once I stepped inside the house, he turned and signed off for the day. My body was exhausted. I just wanted to hit the bed.As I was about to pass by the living room, a familiar cologne hit me. He was there."Good evening, Ade." His smooth voice reached into my ears. How could he sound so additive even after a long day? I think nobody has the answer, it's my silly bra

[ Adeline ]I and Xavier went on almost strangers mode since his confession a week ago. He started ghosting me. For two days, I tried to make conversations with him but he only replies with short answers in a disinterested tone. So, I stopped bothering him.Perhaps, he's regretting to tell me everything. Why should I bother but it keeps pinching me. I buried myself in work and making more contacts than Arthur.Speaking of my ex-husband and my sister, they didn't try to contact me or tried anything which could put us on war.Currently, I was in the middle of a meeting with the new employees who joined recently and had great potentials. I was recruiting for marketing experts and tech experts personally because I need them most at present."Ma'am, you have Ms. Addison on the call." Sandra whispered in my ear.Here comes the she-devil. I thought she was busy in her own work and life or searching for rich dicks."Tell her that I'm busy." I whispered her and focused my attention on the prot

[ Adeline ]"What?"She shrieked after a moment of silence. I assumed she was processing my proposal in the moment.I winced as her voice damaged my eardrums."Please, would you talk in a lower valume. I don't want to depend on the hearing aids because you keep assaulting my ears." I said."Have you gone completely insane? How can you propose something like this? I would give you my son so you can eliminate him from your path? NEVER!" She shouted on the top of her lungs.I folded my arms and gave her a bored look though I was hurt by her words. I can never kill someone let alone a child for my ambitions."I am not like you, Addison. I can't hurt someone for my selfish motives. So, think twice before you talk to me or spit such shits again about me." I said in a cold tone.She rose from her chair and leaned on the table."Arthur will deal you about this." She said with thinly pressed lips."Your husband's business is sinking, Addie. You can get rid off a looser like him as soon as you

[ Xavier ]Ever have you that moment when you think you have come far from a dark tunnel and gained some grounds over your wounded heart only to find yourself in the same water after years, and the person doesn’t have a whiff of your feelings.This is the worst feeling. I would have laughed on the person who said to me that one day I’ll find someone who has the ability to stir the feelings which I have buried in the deepest chamber of my heart but it’s true. It happened.I was smitten by the woman who was walking aimlessly, crying and lost unaware of the danger lurking around her. The woman was none other but my ex-sister-in-law. Her eyes were something I was drawn to.Now, she’s mine but she can never be mine.Adeline Greyson, my wife who hasn’t returned from her office nor she’s answering my phone. I called her bodyguard who told me that she was at her parents’ house. She should be back by now.I was busy pondering about her when I heard the honk of her car and a minute later, she e
