Ex-Wife

Author Pov

Standing on the balcony of his son's room Xander stared at the garden below with his blank gaze. What did he even expect from her? Did he expect her to choose him over the man with whom she was in love for almost 10 years?

Only he knew how he restricted his mind to show any kind of harsh action when he brought her back to the house. He wanted to scold her. Show her that she's his now. But again what's the use of doing that.

Will he be able to keep her with him when her mind was full of her ex-husband. He knew a kind hearted woman like her was only being generous by visiting that man and helping but was it only her generosity or something else.

When he came back after donating his blood to Liam. It took him a lot of time to relax his mind and finally make a decision. Indeed he didn't want to let her go but at the same time didn't want her to stay with him without her will.

He doesn't want her pity. Or her being the guardian of Alexander. He wanted her to be genuine with him. He wanted her to make up her mind and finally hold one hand.

Travelling in two boats always leaves you with nothing. And he didn't want her to do something like that. He wanted her to choose one ship on which she's willing to be for a lifetime.

And maybe that ship wasn't his.

Amelia went to the hospital in the morning and it was almost midnight but she still did not return. As tomorrow was Sunday so Alexander wanted to meet his grandfather and Xander send him there.

There wasn't even one second when Xander didn't wait for her to come back but she didn't. Maybe she decided to give Liam a chance.

He wasn't angry. He wasn't hurt. He wasn't disappointed. He just felt empty. Again when he decided to give his life a chance he once again lost the reason of doing so.

"I wish you a happy life, Amelia." He whispered to no one and looked down at the garden one more time when suddenly.

"I know I will be happy with you Xander." He froze in his place feeling two tiny arms wrapping around his hard torso making him stunned.
