Ex-Wife

Chp-17

"Come in." Amelia entered Xander's office with her heavy head. Last night even after trying she

couldn't hold herself from breaking down and crying her heart out.

After meeting Liam she instantly went to the hospital and cried while kissing her brother's hand. How

much she wished for him to wake up so she could hug him. Tell him the pain from which she was going

through.

She didn't even notice when did she fell asleep beside her brother's bed till the doctor came in the

morning and woke her up. She was still in her party dress with only a coat on her body so she decided

to change her clothes before going to Xander.

Taking a shower she drank a glass of milk and took a pain killer. She never thought that one day she

will feel disgusted by that man's touch she loved so much or still loves.

The bruise on her lip made her weirdly disgusted at how roughly he handled her like she's some kind of

thing, not a human. She had never seen Liam this aggressive before but maybe she never gave him

any reason to be aggressive before.

"Good morning." Xander nodded leaving a single glance at her before again checking the files. Amelia

took a seat in front of him with her tried expressions.

"Morning Amelia." He greeted looking up at her only to find tiredness dripping from her eyes.

"Well, Amelia. I wanted a favour from you." Amelia strengthened herself nodding at him.

"Tomorrow my parents are coming. I know what your thinking. I was also surprised when I got a call

from my father's secretary telling me that they are coming tomorrow with Alexander and they will stay

here for two days."

Amelia again nodded with a frown this time. She wanted to know what does their visit has to do with

her.

"The problem is. They want to meet you."

"What. But why." She abruptly said making him sigh.

"Because they are really protective over Alexander and he like I expected didn't stop talking about you

with them. They are curious about you and also wants to see if my son is in right hands or not."

"But shouldn't it be your decision." Xander sighed at her question. She wasn't wrong but well she

wasn't also aware of many things so he didn't blame her.

"In short they don't trust me." Amelia's eyes soften seeing obvious hurt and sadness dripping from his

icy spheres but they turned hard in a second.

"I didn't tell them about our marriage yet. I am leaving this decision to you. If you want them to know or

not it's fine for me."

Amelia stared at him for few seconds and Xander gave her a proper time to think. Amelia looked up at

him only to find his jaw clenched and anger dripping from his gaze.

What happened to him suddenly. She questioned herself. But he only stared at her with a hard gaze.

Again he was intimidating her but she just decided to shrug off.

"I think it's better if they approve me as Alexander's caretaker first. I don't want them to see me as your

wife. I want them to inspect me and make a decision regarding only Alexander after all we are married

only for him. Then after their decision, we can tell them."

She suggested and left confused when Xander blinked few times. It was almost like he just came out of

his thoughts. But the hardness in his eyes didn't fade away. Giving her a curt nod he continued.

"As you wish. But you have to stay in my mansion for the next two days. You can meet your brother

whenever you want and also can handle your business matters through my house." Amelia thought for

some time and finally nodded.

It wasn't much of a big deal after all it's just two days. She can manage easily. But then her head

snapped towards her husband who stood up from his seat still staring at her.

She stood up from the seat as well and looked at him with a frown. "Well. I think I should get going. I

have to reach my company." Xander said nothing instead stood there staring at her with a blank yet

hard gaze.

She awkwardly smiled at him gulping down. What's wrong with him? Shaking her head a little she

turned to walk out of the office but instead.

"Lock." She heard a click sound and instantly turned towards her husband who said that word.

"Did you. Did you just."

"Locked the door. Yes, my office door works on my voice." She stood there dumbfounded staring at

him.

"But why." She questioned bewildered at his weird actions and creepy expressions.

"Because I am not done yet." With that, he started walking towards her. She didn't move from her place

and finally, he stood in front of her.

"Who are you, Amelia." She blinked her eyes scrunching her face in confusion.

"I am Amelia. A human." She said dumbfounded only to get a blank face from him.

"Wrong answer." Suddenly he started taking steps forward which instantly startled her as they already

had no distance and now he was filling the rest of the distance too.

"I told you you're my wife Mrs. Storm. Didn't I." He kept on stepping forward while she stepped back

only end up against the wooden door.

He slowly placed his palms on the door beside her head. She stopped breathing as soon as he leaned

his face closer to her.

Their noses were only an inch away. His warm breathing was hitting her dry lips making her gulp down

hardly.

"I know your ex-husband is still pestering you, my wife. But I don't like to see other's marks on what is

mine." Her eyes slightly expanded realizing he was talking about the bruise.

"I saw him crying in the hallway last night and you running away from there and now I know why. I trust

you, Amelia. I do. I know you will never disrespect our relation but your husband has some limits."

She breathed out and this time making him gulp but his posture didn't change. He fully dominatedher

with his words and gestures.

"And trust me if I end up losing my patience I don't know what I will end up doing with that good for

nothing ex of yours. So better make him understand that you are not his anymore. He lost you and he

has to accept it."

"I am not yours as well Xander." She finally took some courage to let those words out even though in a

whisper. This earned an amused chuckle from him.

"The moment you decided to be Mrs. Storm you became mine, Amelia. You are mine and no one can

change it. I respect you but I wouldn't hold back if that man didn't stop his actions. And Mrs. Storm."

He leaned a little more closer brushing his nose against hers making her clench her hands in tight fists.

"Xander Storm never goes back on his words." With that, he stepped back from her giving her a proper

place to breathe.

"Open." He said startling her. He stood there staring at her as she collected herself and opened the

door walking out.

As soon as the door shut off he let out a shaky breath. Gulping down he rubbed his hands together.

Removing his tie he threw it on the couch.

"Damn it what's wrong with me." He didn't know why he kept on saying that she's his when all he

wanted from her was her care for Alexander. Why does he suddenly start feeling so protective over

her?

Again the bruise on her lip burned his insides. He can't stand another man touching her. But why.

Wasn't he himself said he doesn't deserve her then why he kept on going back to her? She's like a

magnet and he against his will kept on going back to her.

Licking his lips he remembered how he wanted to replace that bruise. How he wanted to tell her, show

her in every way that she's his. How he wanted to unclench her fists and intertwine his fingers with

hers. But he didn't.

His respect for her didn't let him.

He knew if she kept on her breathing against his lips he will end doing something he didn't want to so

he simply let her go. He just wanted to tell her to stop Liam from coming back to her but then where

that your mine shit came from?

Plopping down on his chair he gulped down a glass of water before shaking his head. He wanted to

assure himself that it's just lust. But he knew it's more than that.

"What are you doing to me, Amelia." He mumbled before opening his eyes and again his eyes harden.

"I swear if that bastard again try to do something I wouldn't hold myself back." No matter what he feels

for her. The only thing he knew was that he wouldn't at least let that ex get closer to her. He knew he

needed to do something.

A small smirk appeared on his lips as he pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialled his lawyer's Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
