Ex-Wife

Chp-7

Author Pov

Xander froze for a second. He stared at the woman in front of him whose eyes were stuck on his

sleeping son. The adoration was clear in her eyes for his son.

This was the first time after his wife that someone looked at his son with love, not with some greed.

Her eyes were showing adoration for him instead of considering him as a pillar to succeed in becoming

a woman of one of the powerful man in the country.

Xander’s life was never in highlight as he hates being headlines of the news. He was always a man

who likes privacy. He was never involved in any kind of controversy.

He was never seen with any women before except his wife. There was even one time when people

started to think that he’s gay and had a relation with his secretary as he never hired any woman as his

secretary.

But then suddenly the news of him marrying his childhood sweetheart went viral like a fire. He got

married to her secretly and after a year they had a son which didn’t fail to shock people.

He indeed was a loyal man to only one woman. People used to assume their love story at how they

must be in love with each other from childhood but the truth only he knows.

When Alexander turned three years old his mother passed away. No one knows what was the real

reason behind it. No one knows what was the cause of her death. They only knew she was sick and

couldn’t be able to survive.

After that people started making stories of how Xander must be devastated. He didn’t marry again till

he read the will and letter left by his late wife.

At first, he was angry hearing the will but after reading the letter he understood the reason behind it and

didn’t blame her. He tried to hire two caretakers for his son but both of them showed their greed real

soon.

He started to lose hope and was thinking of contacting his parents to help him out of this. But then he

met Luca and Lily.

Lily that time didn’t know what was happening with Amelia and was sad for Xander. She was thinking of

finding someone who could help him out for at least a year but then she got to know about Amelia. Her

divorce. About Harry and his case. So she decided to tell Xander about Amelia after all she knew

Amelia will never ask for more.

Xander was relieved after hearing about Amelia and instantly said to Lily to bring Amelia to him. He

was relieved that she already had someone else in her heart and her situation was helpless.

And finally, after meeting her he was kind of sure that his decision of accepting Amelia in hurry wouldn’t

go in vain.

Xander decided the date for the marriage. Amelia asked Xander to let her talk to Alexander before all of

this as she wanted to see if he was ready to accept her or it was just an act of a mere moment.

Amelia kissed her brother’s forehead before walking out of the hospital. The next and maybe the last

trial was just after a week. She needed to find any evidence that could help to find her brother’s

innocence.

She reached the Storm’s Mansion and wasn’t surprised to see the luxury there. After all Liam mansion

was the same as this. She entered the mansion and was escorted in by the maid.

She was surprised to see that the number of maids wasn’t much as compared to Liam’s house. And it

was true Xander never likes to keep a lot of maids. He hardly appoints two maids and done with it.

She took a seat on the sofa and looked around. Various kinds of drinks were offered to her and even a

lot of snacks but she only took a sip of water.

Soon Alexander came into the living room and his smile widened witnessing Amelia there. He instantly

ran in her arms startling her.

“Angel I knew you will come again. Dad promised me that you will not leave me again.” He said

hugging her tightly like she will fade away anytime making her chuckle.

She felt a weird feeling in her pit which made her pull the little guy closer to her. She settled him on her

laps with a small smile.

She chuckled when he laid his head on her shoulder closing his eyes.

“What happened Alexander. Why are you looking so tired? Didn’t you sleep well?” Alex pulled his head

up shaking it with a cute pout.

“I don’t know why but I just couldn’t get a sleep last night. I was missing you, Angel.” He said with a

pout making her shocked.

“Alex you just met me yesterday then how can be so comfortable with me.” She questioned with a

raised eyebrow making the Lil guy smile.

“No. I know you for so long. But you just don’t know.” He said wrapping his arms around her neck and

burying his face in her shoulder.

“I want to sleep, Angel. I am so tired. Don’t leave me.” He whispered yawning and slowly drifting to his

dreamland.

Amelia was confused and stunned. When did she even meet this Lil guy.? She tried remembering but

couldn’t be able to get the grip of when and where.

Maybe he was just misunderstanding her for someone else. She sighed feeling the Lil koala attached

to her drifting to sleep in her embrace.

It was almost like he was craving for this warmth and it wasn’t a lie. He was craving for this from the

day he lost his mother.

Their small moment didn’t go unnoticed by the hawk eyes of the man that was sitting in his office

witnessing the whole scene.

He witnessed his son’s desperation for a little care. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of hurt in his chest

realizing that in all this custody matter he was forgetting about his son’s actual need and happiness.

But he still was happy to witness that Amelia was treating him better. At least better than him. He

leaned to his table staring at the computer screen that was now showing only Amelia who was busy

caressing Alexander’s hair.

Xander knew he never got the care and love of a mother he deserved but that doesn’t give him any Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

right to deprive that right from his son too.

He was ready to put his every insecurity aside for his son this time. Taking a deep breath he called the

maid and asked her to bring Amelia to his office and take Alexander to his room.

Amelia entered the office and took a seat in front of Xander who looked up at her with a blank gaze.

Soon his lawyer entered the room with Lily and one more man.

They all completed the marriage contract preparations and Xander without any hesitation signed the

papers. Lily and another man also signed as witnesses of the marriage and finally it was Amelia’s turn.

Amelia clutched the pen in her hand taking deep breaths. Xander patiently stared at her distressed

expressions having an idea of how difficult it must be for her.

Lily placed her hand on her shoulder giving her an encouraging smile. Gulping down she hastily signed

the papers and finally became Xander Storm’s Wife.

Lily hugged Amelia. “Don’t worry Amy Xander isn’t that scary or bad the way he looks. He just wants a

sincere person for his son nothing else.”

Amelia nodded her head smiling at her. Xander paid the hospital expenses right away and also

appointed the best lawyer for Harry’s case.

If Amelia says she wasn’t thankful to Xander then it would be a lie. Lawyer indeed said that winning the

case was hard but he will try to exceed the time and trials to get more time so he could find more

evidence.

After the lawyer left Xander asked Amelia to spend a night with Alexander and she can go back

tomorrow. He wanted her to move into the mansion but she refused it especially till the end of the case.

Xander understood her and accepted her condition. But for tonight he requested her to spend with

Alexander and she obeyed his words.

She spent the whole day with Alexander taking care of him and Xander witnessed them the whole day.

He was in his office away from them but was closer enough to witness his little bundle of happiness

becoming happy because of the woman who was now his wife.

Night fell and Alexander fell asleep. Amelia decided to stay in Alexander’s room as the bed was king-

sized. She stared at the window watching the fog watching the beauty of winter was glowing up.

“Don’t worry if your brother is innocent he will get his justice.” She turned around hearing her husband’s

voice who emotionlessly stared at her.

“He is innocent. I can bet my life on it.” Xander wasn’t sure of why she had this much faith in her

brother but he knew she’s losing herself minute by minute just to prove his innocence.

Her grey orbs finally looked up finding those icy eyes looking straightly at her. He didn’t know why he

was still doubting her being his wife.

He had seen her at parties. On T.V only but as the wife of Liam Stone but now she was his. Sounds

weird he never in his dreams thought that life can play this kind of game too.

“You should sleep. It’s late.” She nodded letting out a deep breath. He stepped out of the room walking

towards his dark room filled with only silence mocking his loneliness.

But he didn’t mind he was used to it now. He hates to admit but it was true he wanted someone to

embrace him the way Amelia did. To caress his hair the way Amelia did to his son. He wanted

someone’s care. Sincere concern but maybe it wasn’t in his fate. It was never.

Closing his eyes he let the darkness trap him once again because that’s the only place chosen for him.
