[ Adeline ]I looked around the quiet cemetery but there was no sign of my blackmailer. I had been waiting there for over fifteen minutes. My anxiety grew with passing minutes because the secret he or she laid their hands on, it has the power to change my present life. I had to reach the person and ask them what exactly they want from us. I didn’t come in the notice of the others because my grandmother is buried in the cemetery. I chose her grave’s spot to wait for the blackmailer.“Finally, I have the pleasure to see my beautiful daughter’s face after a long time.” I heard my father’s voice and I swiftly turned around. He was holding a bunch of roses which he placed on the grave.“My mother was a great woman but she had a soft heart just like you, my sweet child and you know, it led to her ultimate demise. She killed herself because she couldn’t bear to see her husband cheating behind her back.” My father told me the story I knew since my childhood about my grandmother’s suicide. It

[ Adeline ]“I don’t care what you have done in your past, it really doesn’t matter to me, Ade. So, please stop here if it’s something that gives you pain.” Xavier tried to convince me that he was okay with me not matter what I had done in my past.“No, Xavier, if I don’t share it with you now, I fear it’ll eat me from inside.” I said. I took a pause to prepare myself.“Alright, I am listening if you really want to do it.” He gave my hands a comforting squeeze. “I was pregnant when I divorced Arthur. I found out in London.” I let the most bitter sentence leave my tongue.His posture stiffened, “But you said it was your trick to instigate Arthur?” He questioned me.“I lied to you and I feel terrible from inside. It was a tainted memory. Arthur left me because he got my sister pregnant. My fate also blessed my womb after two years of failed attempts, mental abuses, physical pain and taunts. That baby could be the reminder of my hellish two years as Arthu

[ Adeline ]My heart wasn’t at ease since I woke up from a dreamless sleep. Xavier left for work before me. I couldn’t blame him since my sleep was broken at eight. He left a note for me on my bedside table that he’d come back early from the office. He asked me to go out with him. He never fails to grab a chance for dates.I also haven’t much to do at office. So, I decided to say yes to his offer. I left him a quick text knowing he must be engrossed in his work.It’s four in the evening, I came out of my office building. Xavier would return around six means I still I have two hours. I missed my mother but I couldn’t go back to that house.

[ Adeline ]“What a pleasant surprise! Your presence is an honor for me and all my employees, sister.” Addison faked happiness and slow clapped her hands.“Just drop the act and save our time, Addie.’ I rolled my eyes as she swing on her chair like a boss but she looked ridiculous.“Take a seat first, Ade. I do not want you to complain later that “La Voda” doesn’t treat their guests properly and this fucking media is a pet of your husband’s.” She said with bitterness.“Don’t worry, Addie. I won’t leave a bad review because I am not here as your guest.” I said and sat down on the chair with crossed legs, “Anyways, let’s come to the subject without dragging this conversation longer than necessary.” I said with confidence, she couldn’t intimidate me anymore.“What brings you here, Adeline? You don’t love me and the feeling is mutual here. So, tell me what do you want from me?” She asked me with raised brow.“I need some answers from you and I want honesty because it’s related to both of

[ Adeline ]“How was your meeting with your sister?” Xavier asked me.“I won’t say it was very positive but there was no violence, so I guess it ended on a good note because I just put a leash on my sister.” I said and remembered Addison’s mortified face.“Is there anything you want to tell me?” He narrowed his eyes at me.“Actually, yes. There’s something I found out recently but I waited for the right moment to come.” I said and gauged his reaction first, he looked curious now.“Adeline, just spill the beans already.” He gave me a narrowed look.“I hired a private investigator to spy on my sister who doesn’t use brain as much as she uses her pussy and recently, he made a very interesting discovery about her.” I grinned at him, it was my first step of my revenge towards my sister.“I think we need to sit down because I can tell by reading your face that it’s an explosive discovery,” He narrowed.“Yes, Xavier.” I said and we sat down on the marble bench of our garden. We cancelled our

[ Adeline ]The fresh but humid air of a new country touched my face when we landed on a private air strip in Navarra.It was already noon, the sun was hot and scorching but I felt good to be away from home for a while. Xavier was right behind me, he placed his hand on my waist.“I think you’re really liking this place, don’t you?” He asked me, I couldn’t see his eyes because of his shades but I knew he was teasing me since I am not a big fan of warm places.“I want to see our villa first then I’ll shower and eat something and then I’ll sleep for a while I couldn’t sleep for whole night. I hate being on height.” I yawned since it was a very tiring and uncomfortable journey for me even though it was a luxurious private plane owned by Linwoods.“You have a lot of complains, Mrs. Linwood, I’ll arrange a spa and massage for you if you want.” He said and opened the car door for me which was already arrange for us.“No, thanks, I want my privacy intact and to be honest, I don’t like body ma
