[ Xavier ]I felt like the earth slipped beneath my feet. I felt numb and couldn't process whether it was my dream or the reality on which I couldn't believe because ghosts doesn't exist. "Xavier..." She whispered again, her lips quivered as she uttered my name.Yes, it was her, the same face with shortened hairs and same melodious voice."Xavier, it's me, your Emily." She said again and took slow steps towards me."No, it's..it's not true. It...can't be possible. You're not real." I shook my head and turned to look at Adeline, her face had the same mortified expression on her face.She was confused, clueless, just like me and we were staring at each other. I was about to say something when two arms wrapped around me and I smelled the same fragrance after two years, same touch. It was indeed Emily who was hugging me. My mind was still clouded. I couldn't decide whether I should feel happy or sad or shocked. It was the biggest surprise of my life."You have no idea how much I misse

[ Adeline ]I couldn't believe that life would take this turn for me when I thought I reached at the end of the tunnel and the light is waiting for me.Whom am I blaming? My fate has always been like this to me, cruel and merciless. When I assumed, finally it showed some mercy on me, I was fooled again.Impossible happened. Xavier's first wife has returned from the dead. It sounds impossible to believe but she was there, the woman whom he loved more than his own life, perhaps he still does. I saw my world crumbling down in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything but watched it go down the drain. What if he chooses her over me all over again?He still loves her. She's a very beautiful and amazing woman. I couldn't judge her wrong. I got positive vibes from her and my reaction would have been the same if I was in her shoes.Still it pains a lot to imagine him slipping away. This time, I'd not be able to bear the pain of heartbreak. I won't be able to survive since he has become m

[ Xavier ]I watched Adeline leaving the house. I couldn’t stop her because she made it very clear that she doesn’t want to stay with me if I don’t take a decision very soon. I know she’s wounded. Life had given her enough scars to bear for lifetime and if she receives another from me. I fear she’ll be lost. I may not be able to mend our relationship if I don’t come to a decision sooner than possible.“Don’t stress yourself, Xavie. It’s very easy. I am ready to divorce you and trust me, I have no intentions to make your life complicated. Your wife has walked out of this house because of me. You bought it for her so she can be away from her terrible past. I don’t want to shadow her happiness, it’s your happy home. I am the past and past can only haunt us.” Emily said.I stood silent because my mind stopped processing anything. My life had turned a complexed zig zag puzzle.“I’ll move out of here. I haven’t brought anything with me but I am willing to take my old stuff from here. There

[ Xavier ]I miss her terribly. I miss Adeline and the worse part is, I can't talk to her or see her. I wish I could stop her in the morning and beg her to give me a chance to prove her that she is the one with whom I see my future.Adeline Greyson is my present and she is going to be my future. I need some time to sort everything out. I can't ask Emily to end things between us and abandon her just like her family. The humanity inside me would never allow me to be unfair to her. Legally she's still my wife and I find myself more drowned into my current predicament than before. "Xavie, I mailed you my resume." I heard Emily's voice. I decided to stay back home to clear my mind off and calm myself before heading to the office. The situation at work has also been a headache to me. "I will check later. Have your lunch?" I asked her since she is new at my home and it's obvious how my house staff was treating her. They're really fond of their mistress and accepting my first wife in the

[ Adeline ]I glanced at my wrist watch for the fifth time. There was no sign of Arthur and I began to question my own decision of even agreeing to come here and confront him for the shenanigans he pulled by calling me here to meet him.Blaze was standing at a distance in alert mode. I'd be a fool if I take a chance by coming all alone and give my enemies leverage over me."You're blooming like a spring flower, Mrs. Linwood." I heard Arthur’s voice and it made me internally cringe.He was walking briskly towards me. His face had the ugly smirk I hated to see. He was enjoying my current situation. "Why did you call me here, Arthur?" I asked him straight in a disinterested tone."Oh! Come on, Adeline. Why are you being this cold and bitchy towards me. I am out of your life for good and you have more power than me in my own house and company. Can we not be civil to each other?" He said dramatically. I rolled my eyes watching his low stature tricks to crawl under my skin. "If you have
