Ex-Wife

Chp-8

Xander frowned when he didn’t see his son on the breakfast table. Alexander used to appear on the

dining table before his father. But today he wasn’t present making Xander confused.

“Where is Alex” He questioned the maid who answered him still looking down clearly afraid to look up

in his eyes.

“Young Master didn’t wake up yet.” Xander frowned and concern filled his veins as he shot up from his

seat making his way towards his son’s room.

He was worried about what if Alex got sick because when he’s sick he sleeps this much. Alexander

always wakes up earlier and sometimes he doesn’t even take proper sleep which concerns Xander.

He opened the door of his son’s room and instantly stiffen on his spot. He felt his insides flared up at

the beautiful sight in front of him. He never thought he will witness something like this again.

Alexander’s whole body was shoved deeper into Amelia’s embrace. Her arms were under the Lil guy

holding him near her. His face was buried in her neck and small arms were wrapped around her tiny

waist.

They were looking like mother and son.

Xander took few steps closer to the bed. Even though they were two bodies but as they are entangled

together so they were occupying a small space in the middle of the king-sized bed.

He gently placed his palm on his son’s forehead sitting on the bed and sighed in relief when he felt his

temperature normal but then again if he wasn’t sick then why wasn’t he waking up.

His icy orbs went to his wife’s face who was breathing slowly and steadily. He without realizing stared

at her beautiful face without any hardness holding in his eyes.

Unconsciously he started inspecting her features. Her beautiful grey spheres were now closed. Her

wide eyelashes. Her brown hair scattered on the pillow while her shirt was slid off her shoulders giving

a proper view of her milky collarbone and neck.

He gulped and instantly snapped out of his not so innocent thoughts when he heard his son’s whimper.

Before he knew anything Amelia’s eyes fluttered open and met his.

Even though he wasn’t much closer to her but still he was sitting on the bed and Amelia was still not

used to his presence.

She was about to shot up from the bed but stopped when she felt Alex snuggling in her neck more. She

looked down at the Lil guy and smiled a little when he opened his green eyes.

He smiled widely. “Angel.” He jumped on her earning a huff from her making her back to hit the bed as

he was fully above her. Xander blankly stared at his son shaking his head.

Alex again laid on Amelia and turned his head witnessing his father sitting on the bed looking at him.

“Dad.” He instantly jumped on his father leaving Amelia. Xander caught him in his muscular arms

squeezing him as his son hugged him tightly.

“Dad you know I slept so well last night.” Xander’s lips curved into a small smile when he heard his

son’s raspy morning voice.

“That’s good son. Now get up. You’re already late for your school. Dad will drop you today hmm.”

Alexander giggled happily before jumping off the bed and running towards the bathroom.

Amelia was surprised to see Alexander doing his work on his own. He was almost seven years old but

still even at this age some children whine for the elders to ready them for school.

But Alexander has always been doing his work himself. He was a genius in studies but an introvert. He

doesn’t like the crowd or making friends. He likes to keep his self distance and privacy.

Because of this habit of his, he was often bullied in his school but he never really paid heed to it.

Xander was proud of his son for being so responsible even at so early age but he forgot to see the

reason behind it.

Amelia saw everything at how Alexander got ready on his own he even wore his tie when grown-up

men like Liam don’t know how to. Yes, Liam never wore his tie Amelia or his sister used to help him

with it.

But Alexander left Amelia surprised at how perfectly he got ready in just 20 minutes. But she didn’t fail

to notice the efforts and past pain behind all his success in getting these things.

She also did her morning routine and came down witnessing Alex eating breakfast. She didn’t change

her clothes only settled them properly as her shirt’s button was opened while sleeping.

“Angel come. Eat breakfast.” Amelia smiled caressing his hair stiffening him. Xander frowned at

Alexander’s frozen figure when Amelia caressed his hair.

“What happened Lil guy.” Alexander blinked multiple times settling a wide smile on his lips shaking his

head.

“Nothing. I was just never this good before Angel. Thank you.” Amelia didn’t know what to say so she

only smiled at him.

“Uhm I wish I could eat with you but your angel have some important work. So she has to go right now.”

Alexander’s smile dropped down making Amelia to instantly take a seat beside him.

“You’re leaving me again right. You wouldn’t come back right.” Amelia shook her head placing a kiss on

his forehead making him close his eyes at her caring touch.

“I will come back. Don’t worry I will not leave you again.” He opened his teary eyes as a small smile

appeared on his plump lips.

“Promise.” She nodded her head before bringing a glass of milk near his lips.

“Promise.” He smiled drinking the milk from her hand shocking Xander and even the maid standing

there.

Alexander hates when someone tries to feed him something. From the day he started to handle heavy

things he stopped the maid from feeding him.

He even once broke the glass when his father tried feeding him as he was sick. Lil dude has a lot of

temper. But Xander was shocked at how obediently he let Amelia feed him.

Alexander ran outside to reach his father’s car before kissing Amelia’s cheek. Xander was beyond

happy seeing Alex going to school with so enthusiasm as he never went to school like this before.

“Wait.” Amelia turned to look at Xander who called her before standing in front of her.

“Let me drop you. I know you’re going to the hospital.” Amelia shook her head.

“Oh no Mr Storm I--”

“Xander.” She heard his demanding voice halting her words.

“What.” She questioned with a frown.

“Xander. Call me Xander Amelia. Especially when we are alone.” She gulped when her name rolled

down his tongue.

“Yeah sure, so what I was saying is it’s fine I will manage. Thank you for the offer.” She nodded before

turning around.

But before she could step forward her arm was in a steel grip. She instantly looked up turning her body

towards the force startled at the unfamiliar touch.

Her grey eyes met with his icy storm ones as they were filled with anger and dominance.

“I wasn’t asking Amelia.” He sneered in a low yet threatening tone. Amelia frowned at his sudden

change of attitude.

“And I wasn’t bargaining Xander.” Xander’s eyes blinked at the way his name rolled down from her

sweet tongue as she tried to speak in a hard tone but his ears only heard a soft honey-like voice.

“Exactly because your not in a position to bargain. You’re coming with me even if it’s with force.” She

stared at him in disbelief.

Xander wasn’t going to threaten her or scare her but as soon as she rejected him he felt a pang of hurt

on his ego. He hates when especially women say no to him. He wasn’t used to rejections and her

sassy replies were burning his ego.

“I think you’re forgetting Xander. We are just married in papers. I don’t want anyone to see me with you.

And for the last time, I am not coming with you. And if so then do use force because I am sure Mr.

Storm wouldn’t like his servants and guards to witness him manhandling a woman.”

She slowly slid her arm out of his grip before leaning to his face a little in a mocking manner.

“Because it can raise unwanted gossips. And Xander Storm hates being a part of gossips. Isn’t he.”

She smiled a little at him before walking out of the house and waving at Alexander who was sitting in

the car.

Xander was stood there staring at the door with stunned yet amused eyes. Did that woman try scaring

him? A small chuckle left from his lips shaking his head. Only if she knew if he wants he can tell the

whole world that she’s his wife in a second and he doesn’t mind it as well.

After all Alexander will be on the ninth cloud but he was restraining himself for her. He didn’t want to

make this kind of decision on his own but if that woman kept poking his ego then he wouldn’t mind

doing it.

He walked towards his car while thinking about her little cunning action with amusement filling his

veins.

“One can play this Amelia. If you want then why not.”
