Ex-Wife

Chp-10

Author Pov

Xander made his way towards his son’s room meeting with a beautiful scenario once again. His son

was being tickled by Amelia as their laugh bloomed in the vast room.

After 4 years. 4 years he finally saw his son again smiling laughing and happy. Xander kind of lost the

hope of seeing his son being a normal kid but now that hope started blooming again. His heart chirped

hearing his son calling his name.

After 2 weeks this boy gonna be 7. Who would say that he behaves like 18 sometimes? Xander

extended his arms picking him up and throwing him in the air earning a horrified gasp from the woman

standing there.

He looked at her before engulfing his son in his arms. He almost smiled at how she sighed in relief

watching Alexander landing safely in his father’s arms.

“How was your day my champ.” Alexander started blabbering about his perfect day which Xander

heard all with a small smile playing on his lips.

“You know today angel picked me up from school. Everyone was so jealous when they saw angel

giving me ice cream and kissing me.” Xander turned towards Amelia in surprise finding her already

smiling at Alexander.

For some time both son and father kept on talking and after dinner. Alexander went to his deep

slumber. Amelia knocked on Xander’s office holding cups of coffee.

“Come in.” Amelia entered making Xander surprised at her sudden visit. She placed the cup in front of

him with a small smile.

“Coffee. I was making for myself then thought I have something to talk to you then why not make one

for you as well.” Xander nodded with a straight face before staring at the coffee for some time.

“What you want to talk about.” She sighed before walking towards the window in the office. Xander

stopped working as well placing his back on the chair giving her his full attention.

“When did you last went to Alexander’s school for picking him up.” Xander looked at her back with a

frown.

“I never picked him up. I sometimes drop him but only driver picks him up from school. Why.” Amelia

sighed turning around to face him.

“Why. You’re his father. I don’t think taking an hour off from your own company is a big deal. You have

no idea how happy he was when he saw me picking him up. He even said that.”

“Said what Amelia.” He asked her with a frown making her sigh.

“He even said that now no one will say he has no one.” Xander’s eyes widened a little hearing her

words. Alexander said that.

“Can’t you see? He feels lonely. Because of his mother’s death and fathers absence he started to find

warmth in strangers embrace. But no one gave him till he met me. I don’t know why he behaves so

comfortable with me but it’s obvious he finds his peace in me. He’s trying to find his mother in me,

Xander.”

Xander’s shoulders dropped down in shock hearing her words. No. That’s not happening. No one can

take place of his late wife. No one can replace her as Alexander’s mother.

“I know what your thinking. Don’t worry. I already tried convincing him that I am not his mother. I am his

well wisher. Someone who wants nothing but the best for him which he took very well. Please, Xander.”

“Alexander needs love, care and attention. Your continuous ignorance will ruin him. Try to give him

some of your time. Just to make him feel wanted. At least show him how much he’s worthy in your life.”

“Of course he’s my life, Amelia. I love him more than anything.” Amelia nodded with a small smile.

“Then show him. At least try to show him.” Xander took the cup of coffee taking a sip and nodding his

head. He walked towards the window standing beside her.

“He was being bullied. Wasn’t he.” Amelia sighed heavily nodding her head making him close his eyes

feeling a hard pang in his chest. He felt like he failed his son as a father.

“But it’s not too late to mend things, Xander. It was never.” He turned to look at her. Their eyes locked

as they both stared at each other getting lost in the moment.

But soon Amelia broke the eye contact turning to the window watching the beautiful garden. It was dark

but the lights of the garden were on.

Even though Amelia looked away but Xander’s eyes were stuck on her face. He was surprised would

be understandable but he was beyond amused. No woman that he appointed before for Alexander tries

to find the reason behind his son’s mute condition. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Everything will be alright.” His soft voice echoed in her ears as she again turned her head towards

him.

“Don’t worry. God always test innocent people but never let them down. Every evil has to face the

karma and every good has to hold patience reward.”

Amelia had no idea why his words hit her mind so hard. She knew he was referring to Harry. But she

didn’t expect him to try comforting her. Was her being a concern for her brother this much obvious.

“Take a little sleep. Everything will go well.” Saying that he went back to his chair and started his work.

Amelia stared at him for a few seconds before walking out of the office with a heavy sigh.

I hope. I hope everything would go well Xander.

Meanwhile

Sitting on the floor leaning her back on the bed girl stared at the wall blankly as tears kept on streaming

down her eyes.

What have I done? That was the only thing in her mind. She loves him right. Or it was just an

obsession. She got obsessed with the only man who ever showed her another face of men.

He respected her. He was her saviour then how. How could she betray her saviour? Her protector like

this turning him into a fake tormentor.

For the past 9 months. The only thing she could feel was guilt, pain and immense regret. She was

dying second by second whenever she heard how that man who did nothing but to respect her being

accused of the things he never did.

Someone said the right thing. It doesn’t take much of an effort for love to turn into an obsession after an

unwanted rejection. It was her condition.

She indeed got obsessed with her love. She became the destruction. The killer of her own heart. Why.

Just why she did that. Why. She ruined so many lives. So many people. So many relations just

because she was obsessed with making him as hers.

She cried out loud clutching her hair. “I am sorry Harry. I am so sorry. I promise you will never see this

disgusting girl ever again. But please don’t give up because of worthless shit like me. Please I will

prove your innocence. I will. I am sorry.”

That night she knew tomorrow will be the start of her miserable life. But she decided to adorn the crown

she selected for herself. Liar and deceiver.

Sun rise up in its full glory. Getting ready she did nothing to hide her gloomy yet swollen face because

of all crying. Taking a deep breath she walked out of her apartment towards the court.

“We are gathered here for the final trial of Harry kale’s case. It was reported by Liam Stone brother of

Rose Stone who accused Mr. Kale of the attempt of rape.”

The trial started and everyone gave their honest speeches and now it was Rose’s turn. Liam didn’t

want her to attend this trial as well but this time she told him that she will come for sure.

“So Ms. Stone. Please tell us what happened that night.” Rose’s voice got stuck in her throat. Liam was

angry seeing his sister being questioned. She was already looking so much scared.

“Mr. Mathew. I think it’s not right to ask a victim this kind of question.” Mr. Mathew chuckled.

“Mr. Forbes. In these types of cases, we need to know everything so we could make a wise and

justified decision don’t you think.” Mr. Mathews bite back.

“Silence. Mr. Mathews you can continue.” Mr. Mathews kept on asking her but she did not answer even

after the judges pursue she still said nothing.

Liam was tensed seeing her looking almost lifeless. Luna was in tears seeing her daughter’s condition.

Amelia was also shocked and confused seeing Rose looking like a corpse.

“Your honour. It’s obvious Ms. Stone is still in trauma and Mr. Mathews questioning is dreading her

more. We should give her some space after all she just got saved from getting raped by that good for

nothing animal.”

Rose’s head snapped towards the lawyer as she stared at him in shock. But it wasn’t the end. “Please

your honour give him as much as the long sentence you can. That rapist deserves worst than hell.

Psycho sadi----”

“ENOUGH.” Mr Forbes got startled halting his words when he heard a loud yell.

Rose yelled at him earning everyone’s attention. The whole room turned silent only the sound of

breathing was being heard. Tears were streaming down her pale cheeks. She was shaken to her core

after hearing the words this man used for Harry.

“Please stop. Stop calling him with those names. That man. He doesn’t deserve this. He doesn’t

deserve to be treated like that when he ever did was to respect everyone. Please stop.”

Hearing her words Amelia’s eyes widened along with Luna. And Liam’s blood ran cold.
