Ex-Wife

Chp-21

Author Pov

Amelia's body stood rigid against the door while Xander pushed his hard chest against hers even

covering the tiny distance that was left between them.

Her eyes were wide as saucers as his lips stayed still on her lips. The book in her hand dropped down

on the floor with a thud.

She was shocked to her core as she never even in her wildest dreams thought that Xander will ever do

something like this. She never thought about him in that way till this moment.

Xander after proper seconds moved his lips slightly before closing his eyes steadily properly feeling her

soft plump lips against his. His one arm slowly went to her waist as he wrapped it around her.

Her system finally started working when she felt the pace of his kiss increasing. She instantly placed

her palms on his chest to push him away but instead, Xander himself parted his lips away from hers.

She finally let out a shaky yet heavy breath out which she was holding in. Xander's chest was heaving

back and forth as well. He indeed broke the kiss as soon as he felt her trying to push him. Even though

he didn't want to but he still had to.

He slowly heaved his icy gaze up meeting her grey stunned ones. They both stared at each other

breathing out. Their noses were still brushing each other's while they kept their eyes connected.

"W-What did you---" Amelia stammered trying her best to not yell at him.

"I want to say something, Amelia." He rapidly said gulping down. His voice was clear and loud. He

knew he might get a lot of curses from her after the stunt he pulled so he decided to express what he

wants.

"Amelia. I know what I am going to say might seem ridiculous to you but I still want to say and want you

to at least consider." Amelia still stood against the door trapped between his arms waited for him to

continue.

"It's been 4 months that we got married. I know this marriage was for Alex. But Amelia. I..." He gulped

down before taking a deep breath.

"I want to give us a chance. Our marriage a chance."

Her breathing once again got halted hearing his words. She was too shocked to say anything so

Xander continued his words.

"I like you Amelia I do." He whispered breathing against her lips.

"I know it's hard for you and trust me it's hard for me as well. We still have 8 months and I just want you

to know that from this very moment I want us to work out and I will try everything to convince you and if

in the next 8 months I couldn't be able to win you then if you wanna end this marriage I wouldn't stop

you."

Letting his words out he took few steps back freeing her from his trapping while Amelia stared at him

still processing what he was saying.

"I know my sudden confession had shocked you but I wouldn't force you. You can take your time. I just

want to try this marriage. I want us to work. I don't want to see you as just Alexander's well-wisher. I

want you to be my wife and a mother to my son for real. I want us to be a family."

Slowly he bent down to the dropped book picking it up and looking at Amelia who was still staring at

him looking like she's still in a deep shock. He gently grabbed her hand and placed the book on her

palm.

"Take as much as time you want Amelia. Because the final decision will be yours." With that he

grabbed her stiff arms pulling her frozen body away from the door and chuckling at how she wasn't

even blinking.

Opening the door he threw a last glance at her before walking out. He weirdly felt satisfied with his

decision. He knew love might never be able to enter their lives but for him liking each other is enough.

After all, they both can live happily even without love. Right. He thought before deciding to find his son

in the garden. He again chuckled glancing at the door of Alex's room from where Amelia still didn't

come out. Maybe he gave her a big shock.

While on the other hand, Amelia stood there stared at her hand on which he placed the book. She

gulped heavily walking towards the window and instantly her eyes fell on the playing duo.

Xander threw Alex in the air before engulfing him in his arms. She witnessed his wide smile which

always comes only for his son. A sincere wide smile showing his sincere happiness.

Her hand automatically went to her lips as her fingers touched them. She bit her inner cheek

remembering the kiss. It was so soft yet so addictive. She didn't want to admit but indeed the man had

been playing with her mind for a while now.

At the party when he claimed her as his. Showing his possessiveness at the bruise. And now this. He

was making her heart race faster day by day but still, she didn't want to admit that Mrs. Storm has

started to get attracted towards Mr. Storm.

The first thing she felt during the kiss was a shock. Second, she wanted to push and slap him. Third,

his confession paralyzed her. Fourth and lastly her mind couldn't be able to stop thinking about his

confession. His touch. Him.

For the first time after her divorce, she felt like she wanted to forget everything and try this. But again

marriage life without love. It doesn't set well to her.

She indeed loves Alex and after his flower revelation she has grown a deep affection for the Lil guy and

she, on any condition didn't want to leave him. After all, she promised him and she didn't want to break

it ever.

She placed her palm on the window glass before signing heavily. Right now she wanted to give her full

attention to her brother but for how long will she be able to ignore what her husband has started.

"What should I do." She wasn't thinking about anyone. Right now she knew she's Xander's wife and

even if she says yes to him. It wouldn't be wrong.

But again without love how. Shaking her head she decided to properly think about this matter before

making any decision.

Two Days Later

"Right. I want you to call the designers and ask them to start preparing new designs as summer is

arriving soon. We need to introduce new designs attractive yet quality worth."

"Yes, mam." Amelia hummed before her assistant started talking.

"Mam you have a meeting today with Mr Xander Storm. Being one of the largest shareholders he

wanted to see the progress of the company." Amelia sighed in disbelief at that man's tricks.

Seeing progress my ass. She knew well he's coming here only to have an opportunity to convince her.

After all, he's doing it for the past 2 days.

Here he was sitting in front of her. After some time he finally came for the so-called meeting. This guy

was always a weird one.

For the past 2 days, he was trying to convince her that he can be a good husband to her. By keeping a

stone face. Ice cold eyes. And emotionless actions.

"Here for you." He placed a flower bouquet in front of her. She looked up only to find him looking at her

blankly. What a romantic guy. She scoffed mentally keeping the flowers on the side table.

Soon she saw a girl entering the room. She was the same girl she met in Xander's company the first

day when she brought Alexander back.

"Rhea. My assistant." Amelia nodded her head motioning the girl to sit beside Xander which she did.

Amelia for some reasons didn't like the girl. She seems younger than Amelia yet obviously attracted

towards Xander whose eyes were stuck on Amelia.

Can't this snow man see what kind of eyes his assistant has on him? She scoffed again mentally

before placing the file on the table which Rhea took professionally.

Amelia has to admit the girl was good in her work. Maybe that's the reason Xander was still tolerating

her. Because of the glances and lip biting, she had done in those 30 minutes anyone can see how

erotic imagination she has for her boss.

Amelia harshly placed the file on the table with a huge bang glaring at the girl who looked at her

confused.

Xander flinched a little coming back from his not so innocent thoughts that he was having about his

wife.

"Sorry, my bad." She said with a slight glare at the girl. Xander sighed before grabbing the file and

signing it.

"Go wait in the car, Rhea," Xander ordered.

"But you Mr Storm." She asked making Xander look at her with narrowed eyes.

"I don't pay you to defy me, Rhea. Go out and wait. And don't dare to utter one more word." She gritted

her teeth feeling humiliated in front of Amelia before walking out.

"You should go to Mr Storm," Amelia said making him lean closer.

"I just get rid of her because it was bothering you," Xander said with a small smirk.

Amelia looked at him with slightly wide eyes. Is the ice trying to tease her?

"I wasn't bothered. I was thinking that having opposite gender assistants is better don't you think."

Amelia said backfiring his teasing. And indeed it worked snatching his smirk way.

"What do you mean." This time she smirked leaning closer.

"I mean you have a female assistant. I should hire a male assistant too. I can have a nice quality time

maybe new male assistant might have a crush on me too and then I will be able to enjoy someone

fantasizing about me."

This burned his insides. Within a second he stood up throwing the chair back on the floor and taking

long and fast strides towards her.

She tried to jump off the chair as she was quiet shocked at his aggressiveness but instead grabbing

her arm Xander again pushed her on the chair before placing his palms on the chair's arms.

He gave a harsh tug to the chair making her body shake as well as moving forward. She looked up only

to find his dark gaze staring at her just a few inches away. He leaned even closer almost colliding their

noses.

"You have no idea provoking me isn't a wise act darling." Her heart skipped a beat hearing the

endearment he used for her for the first time.

"And trust me Amelia Storm. The day I will get my hands on you. You will be punished for every

provoking and disobedience. And I would love to show you what kind of a beast you're waking up with

your little stunts every minute."

His raspy yet deep voice made her gulp, not in fear but the weird sensation she was feeling in her

stomach. Her heart started beating faster than before when he leaned to her ear brushing their cheeks.

"Your mine. And only I can fantasize things about you. Only your husband." With that, she shivered

feeling his warm lips landing a soft kiss on her earlobe before he pulled away.

And again without showing any emotions he walked out of the office. Amelia was finally able to breathe

out. Her body was shivering at his words. And weirdly.

She loved every bit of his dominance. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
