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?
View More[ Xavier ]I stared down at the pen drive and then my gaze shifted on the wedding band. Whatever this small device stored, it might change my perception and my motive.I can't afford to hurt Adeline by any mean. Last night was incredible. She agreed to give us a real shot, it was one of the best moments of my life and then she offered me to stay with her in her room.A dreamy smile involuntarily stretched on my lips. I wish I can have the chance to see her angelic face first when I open my eyes like today.I was pulled out of Adeline's thoughts when my phone chimed with a text alert. It was from Tristan, he was asking me whether everything sorted out between I and Adeline and if I saw the information in the pen drive.I sent him a quick text and put my phone on silent while I open the pen drive. I can't take much time because iy home office and it's almost lunch time.I inserted the device in my computer and one by one I opened all the folders. They were balance sheets of my mother's
[ Adeline ]"Tell me when you want me to stop because I'm running thin on my patience with you around me, Ade." He whispered in a thick voice.My whole body was on fire. My core was clenched and tingles were all over my body. He did magic to my body.His hands roamed sensually on my lower back but they didn't advanced down. I badly needed him to touch me intimately but I couldn't ask him."You're very beautiful, Ade. So perfect and all mine." He raised his head from my shoulder, his eyes were dark. I saw desire in them for me.I couldn't speak. As if my voice was possessed by a spirit but I know it was his effect. His presence makes me paralyzed."May I touch you?" He asked me for my permission. It was a gentleman's way which really touched my heart."Yess.." I somehow whispered in between my laboured breathing.His lips curved upward and in the next second, his hands rested on my butt. He gave them a hard squeeze, causing a moan to escape my throat."You're turning me on, Ade. So, st
[ Adeline ]As soon as the car entered inside the premises of the house, Xavier stepped out of the car and stormed inside the house without sparing a glance at my direction.I couldn't deal with his bipolar behavior, so I followed him, practically running behind him to catch his pace."Xavier, we need to talk. You can't run every time like this." I shouted, this time I didn't care if his grandmother would listen to our commotion. He halted in his tracks but he didn't turn or say anything. I took slow steps towards him with hammering heart. "I am sorry, I went a little overboard but you have to understand that I am not a little girl who needs babysitting every time she's in trouble." I put forward my opinion. "It's late, you should go back to your room, Adeline." He said in a flat tone. I could see his veins popping when he spoke to me. "No, I am not going anywhere neither are you." I refused to obey his words and grabbed his hand.He was a little surprised by my move but he didn'
[ Adeline ]I was getting bored watching people dancing, or grinding into each other. They were drunk and lost on the beats of music whereas I tried to figure out what exactly my life is offering me."Why a beautiful woman is sitting alone when this club has so much to enjoy?" I heard a slurry male voice. I turned to my left side and saw the stool where Xavier sat earlier was occupied by a young man. He was drunk, his facial expressions and breath hinted at his state."I prefer to be alone, gentleman." I said in a polite yet firm tone because I didn't receive positive vibe from him."Alright, I'll go from here but other will come and trust me, all single men who are present around you, they're imagining to take you home and.."He spat disgusting things about me.I shot him a deadly glare. He was pissing me off by his nonsense. "I think you should leave from here or I've to call security." I warned him a low tone because I didn't want to create a scene and stress Xavier. The man needs
[ Xavier ]"Two martinis, please." I gestured the bartender to pour our drinks while I and Adeline seated on the high bar stool, her gaze was dancing around."You don't like this atmosphere then we can go back?" I asked her because no matter how important my discussion with Xavier was, I'd not leave her alone if she wasn't feeling comfortable. "No, I like the atmosphere, it's decent and classy. Rich people and their way of partying." She shook her head in denial and sipped her drink.I smiled on her comment. Despite being born in a rich family. She reminds me of Emily in many ways yet she's different from Emily. "So, you want to enjoy your time while I get rid off Tristan and join you in ten minutes?" I partially lied. I'd actually send him away and give my solo attention to my wife. "It's okay, please take your time. He is your friend and I think he's a good person. I shouldn't have come along if I knew that you were about to meet your friend here." She said."I wanted to bring yo
[ Adeline ]"Adeline, meet my friend Tristan." Xavier introduced the man to me."Hello, it's nice to meet you." I said politely.He walked up to me and kissed my knuckles, "The pleasure is all mine, let me introduce myself properly, Mrs. Linwood. I am Tristan McCartney." He said with a smile.I blushed on his gallant like action. Xavier walked to me and circled his hand around my waist."Tristan McCartney, the owner of the Channel 24 and the Insider magazine. Now I got you." I said.He is one of the most sensational personality himself in the news but I haven't seen his face, just heard the news and how his media house exposes big names or cover important news."I am sorry, Ade. I had to tell you earlier that my friend is joining us but I didn't want to make your nervous since it's our first clubbing together and Tristan will mind his own business in some time, right Tristan?" Xavier gave him a look that gave me a hint of something brewing between them."I am not going anywhere, Xavie
[ Adeline ]"Not bad, Mr. Linwood. You have q gpod taste for a ladies' apparel." I said while checking myself out in the mirror.I wore a shimmery black dress which ended on my mid thigh, it's slightly shorter than my usual dresses but it was beautiful and I felt confident.I curled my hairs and did nude make-up but went for smoky eyes since I haven't added drama to my style in a really long time. I looked younger and bolder."Fuck! You're irresistible. I regret buying this dress now." I heard Vincent cursing and I swiftly turned to face him.Our eyes locked, he was dressed in a denim jeans and a leather jacket with a black shirt under it. I didn't picture him in a casual dressing.He looked younger and charming."I like this dress and I'm keeping it." I said and picked my silver clutch."You're giving me a really hard time, Adeline." He said and shook his head. My heart flipped, I affected him, that's all I wanted to hear."Let's go, your grandmother has retired to her room." I said
[ Xavier ]I can't believe, Adeline's father stepped this low and hurt his own daughter. He slapped my wife, the woman whom I want to protect at any cost.The audacity of this man who calls himself a father and a brother who loved his sister.Although, Adeline took a promise from me that I'd not hurt her father, I'm not going to leave him easily. He must pay for what he did with my wife. I quickly dialled a number and waited for the call to be answered."Hello, man. It's long time since you remembered me. I guess there's trouble in the paradise." My friend, Tristan teased me.He runs a successful media house and he has deep connections and roots to even dig out the most impossible clue."Yes, Tristan, actually I really need your help this time and I'm sorry that I couldn't contact you in a long time." I apologized sincerely. He's one of the few people who are close to me.I met him in the university. He was my dorm mate. I helped him financially to start up his own media house and sin
[ Adeline ]"Adeline, why aren't you looking at me?" Xavier's question panicked me even more."Please, put the tea on the table. I'll be downstairs in some time." I said in a leveled tone."Okay, I am putting it here but why aren't you looking at me? You came back early today. You didn't inform me, it was Sandra who told me when I stopped by your office to pick you. Are you feeling sick?" He asked me again, his voice sounded worried."Yeah, I had headache. So, I took an early day off. I am sorry, it slipped from my mind that you were coming to pick me." I said and pretend to comb my hairs so he wouldn't notice my face."Adeline, why aren't you looking at me?" He asked, this time his voice came out more firm and suspicious."I am applying face care products, can't you see?" I laughed to pretend it like a joke."Yes, I can see but I don't buy your attempts to send me away. What's the matter with you, Ade?" He stepped closer and my heartbeats picked up their rates once again.He placed h
