Ex-Wife novel Chapter 19

Author Pov

Slamming the door open Amelia entered Xander's office making him startle at first but then he blankly looked at the file that she threw in front of him on the table.

"You seriously filed a restraining order against Liam." She questioned making him sigh out. He leaned his back on the chair before crossing his arms against his chest.

"Yes, I did." He emotionlessly replied making her look at him in disbelief.

"And who asked you to. I just came to know about it when your lawyer asked for my signature. What's the purpose of doing this Xander."

This time he stood up from his seat walking towards her. "Then what do you want to do then. Did you have any plan then? I mean isn't it obvious that man isn't stopping and there is something needed to be done so for some time he would stop all these shits."

He completed his words standing in front of her. She pinched the edge of her nose pissed off at his actions.

"I am not saying that what you did was wrong. But you do know that this matter is related to me and my permission should have been taken before making this decision. I am tired of you trying to control my life, Xander."

Xander didn't say anything he can easily see how angry she was. This was the first time he had seen Amelia being pissed off. And he weirdly was enjoying it.

"Yesterday whatever you said I ignored it because I don't care. But I think my ignorance is giving you wrong hints. So let me clear it well for you Mr. Storm."

She took a step forward leaving almost no distance between them. Xander's eyes moved down a little so he could keep eye contact with her.

"I am not yours. I married you and became Mrs. Storm for only Alexander. I am your wife and I do respect our relationship. I will never let another man touch me when I am committed. But what commitment we have. It has nothing to do with you interfering in my matters Mr. Storm. Remember we had decided to not intervene in each other's matters. I am doing it but your not. And I swear if you have some limit then I do too."

Xander's lips twitched a little from the side while amusement filled in his eyes maintaining powerful eye contact with her. She wasn't intimidated by him today instead she was trying to intimidate him which he liked a lot.

He liked his wife having control over him. Weird.

He bowed his head down a little so he could come face to face with her. She didn't back away instead let him lean forward.

"And what's your limit Mrs. Storm." He whispered against her lips and for a second Amelia was shook but again she reminded herself to not let him empower her.

"You wouldn't like to see it Mr. Storm."  She whispered in reply and this time Xander left surprised at how confidently she replied and again he liked seeing this side of his wife.

"Last time Xander. Stop interfering in my matters. Especially Liam's. I will personally handle him. And about this restraining order, I am signing it because I don't want him near me but do remember I wouldn't stand you making decisions for me without asking me in future."

She said with a stern tone and hard gaze. Xander blinked nodding his head making her step back from him sighing out.

"Goodbye, Mr Storm." With that, she walked out of his office making him sigh out.

"Goodbye Mrs. Storm." He whispered to himself staring at the closed door.

"This woman is dangerous. Really dangerous." He mumbled shaking his head. He couldn't believe he found her hot. But she looked damn hot indeed.

Chuckling at his thoughts he went back to his work but not for once Amelia left his mind. He always had this weird fetish of having a woman who could stand in front of him without any fear.

Mia was always a sweet and innocent type of girl. Xander had been always the dominant and intimidating one in their relation. But still, he loved her beyond anything. He knew somewhere in his heart the need to be loved is still there.

He just wants to be loved. For once. He wants someone's touch on him without any greed or hesitation. He wants someone to show him that he is not alone. There is someone whose right beside him in his darkness trying to lighten up his dark life.

But maybe he was cursed to live like this. And can he blame someone? Wish he could but he knew better than no one's responsible for his empty heart except himself.

"Angel today grandfather is coming I am so excited." He said happily clapping his hands while Amelia smiled at him caressing his hair.

"And what about your grandmother," Amelia questioned and instantly smile fell from Alexander's lips replacing it with a sad look.

"My grandmom is not alive. She died before I was even born." Amelia instantly felt guilty for questioning him. The topic seems sensitive to the little guy. She gently pulled him on her laps and he without any protest placed his head on her shoulder.

"It's ok Alex. She's in a good place. Always pray for her to have peace." He nodded his head smiling a little. She kissed his forehead making him snuggle in her neck.

"Angel where is your family." Amelia stiffened a little before relaxing her muscles and continuing caressing his back.

"My parents went to the same place where your grandma is. And I have a younger brother Harry." She said with deep pain. Alexander excitedly looked at her.

"I have an uncle. I want to meet him. Why don't you bring him here." Tears formed in her eyes but she held them not wanting Alexander to see her crying.

"Huh for what," Amelia asked confused at Noah's sudden words.

"For taking care of him. Alexander was always an introvert type kid. But when I met him this time I couldn't believe how much he was changed. He started playing. Talking more than before and even smiling like he never did before. And it's because of your care and love."

Amelia smiled nodding her head. "Of course every child wants love and attention. But I wouldn't take the whole credit. Xander has been doing everything to put a smile on Alexander's face. And I can see the main reason for Alexander's happiness is Xander's continuous attention."

Noah's smiled wavered a little but didn't fade away. He nodded his head and Amelia showed him his room but before she could go.

"Noah I wanted to say something." Noah nodded his head.

"Like I said. Every child craves love and attention. Don't do this Noah. You have a child too. Your son is yearning for your attention." Noah's eyes harden as he sighed heavily.

"You don't know Amelia what he has done. I--"

"Your right I don't know. But I know that he yearns for one look of affection from you. From his father. I don't know how grave a mistake he has done but I know one thing that you have punished him enough. His eyes look lifeless like he has no will to be happy again. Don't do this to your son Noah."

She breathed out pausing a little. She can see that her words were affecting him as his eyes soften a little.

"You already had pushed him to the edge of his breaking point and in the dining room, I could see how he was holding himself not to cry out. His eyes were screaming for your attention only one look of care from you. I don't want you to forgive him if he doesn't deserve to. But at least don't put him in this much loneliness."

"Don't push him this deeper that in the end you wouldn't be able to get him out even when you want to."

Silence crept in the room only to be broken by a meek whisper of Amelia "Goodnight."

With that, she walked out of the room leaving the man stunned and shocked on his spot.
