Ex-Wife novel Chapter 21

Author Pov

"Wakey wakey little guy. Come on Alex wake up." Amelia cooed that sleeping Alexander who stirred in his sleep waking up steadily.

Instantly after opening his eyes a small smile made its way to his lips watching his angel right in front of his eyes smiling at him. He wrapped his arms around her neck making her pull him up from laying position.

He heaved his head on her shoulder as she gently pulled him on her lap. Smiling at his tired figure Amelia patted his head.

"Come on Alex get up. Today is Sunday. Remember we decided to spend time in the garden." Hearing that Alexander shot his head up smiling widely at Amelia.

"Oh yes. I can't wait." Saying that he jumped off her lap running towards the bathroom. Amelia chuckled at his retreating small body disappearing in the bathroom. She took his clothes out and settled them on the bed.

Soon Alex came out and got his clothes before again going to the bathroom for a shower. Amelia decided to arrange his room. Alexander weirdly doesn't like to play with toys. He's a strange kid. He only prefers playing physical games.

After the shower, Amelia got him ready for breakfast. As she was brushing his hair Alexander did nothing except to stare at her with smiley eyes which indeed made Amelia curious.

"Why are you looking at me like this Alex." He grinned before kissing her cheek.

"You know I never thought that we will meet again but mom was indeed right. She told me that my angel will one day come again. And indeed you came." Amelia sighed again hearing his words.

She was confused that why he kept on saying that they had met before when they didn't. She kept on ignoring his words thinking that he might had confused her for someone else but now she was getting impatient.

"Alex why are you kept on saying that. We didn't meet before that day right." She asked him placing the comb on the bed. He suddenly looked sad hearing her words.

"You still don't remember me." He said looking at her with his big blue eyes making her sad. But she had no idea of what he was even saying.

"We have met before angel. You met me when I thought that I lost everything. Your the one who again made me feel that I still have something for whom I want to live." Amelia looked at him stunned at his words. The little guy does know how to use words properly.

"Wait." He ran towards his wardrobe making her curious. After some minutes he came back with something. He motioned her to open her hand by forwarding his tiny fist.

She did what he asked and smiling he opened his fist letting the hidden thing fell on her hand. She looked at her hand and instantly her eyes widened seeing the thing.

It was a wooden hand-made flower.

Finally, the realization hit her. Her lips parted in shock as she finally remembers him.

"You. You were that kid I met 2 years ago in that garden." He smiled widely nodding his head.

Flashback

There on the bench a little kid under the heavy rain was sitting feeling several kinds of pain in his heart. He was letting the rain soak him. He was crying continuously but the heavy rain made sure to not made it obvious.

How can he do that? That was the question roaming in his mind. A five years old kid wanted to question his father that why he was trying to replace his mother with someone else.

But that wasn't the question bothering him. What was hurting him that his father forgot the death anniversary of his mother. He didn't come to her grave. He didn't visit her on the most important day instead he went with another woman.

His tears kept on streaming down and now it started hurting his eyes at how rapidly the rain was hitting him.

Soon his tiny head snapped towards his side feeling someone's presence. He saw an umbrella above his head and a slightly wet body sitting on the damped bench beside him.

As soon as he looked at the woman only one word left from his heart. Angel. She indeed looked like an angel to him. With her white dress, swirling slightly wet hair strands, and pale skin. She stared at him with a small smile.

"What happened Lil guy. You shouldn't sit in this rain. You will catch a cold." She asked him with a small smile.

Alexander wanted to tell her that he's not alone. His bodyguard and driver were there but he said nothing just stared at her with his innocent doe eyes.

She placed a hand on his wet hair caressing his hair. "What happened why are you crying." He was surprised that even in that heavy rain she read his eyes easily.

"My Mother. Today is her death anniversary." He mumbled pronouncing few words wrong but Amelia got his sentence sighing heavily.

"You know Lil buddy. Life is just like that. We all one day have to go. Just the difference is some people will go first and some later. Your mother is in a better place now and trust me she will be very sad seeing you like this."

He looked at her with his innocent gaze. "Always smile when you think about her because she should be a reason for your smile, not your tears. Hmm." Alexander's lips curved into a small smile nodding his head.

Suddenly she pulled a small beautiful white handcraft flower. Grabbing his tiny pale hand she placed the flower in his palm before smiling at his cute frowning face.

"Here. My brother made this for me. He said whenever you feel said just hold it tightly and close your eyes remembering the best moment of your life smile will eventually make its way to your lips. And you know it always worked. Now I am giving this to you. Try it you will feel better."

He again nodded his head. "I have to go now. Remember my words Lil guy." With that, she patted his head for the last time before walking away. He stared at the wooden flower before doing what she said.

Closing his eyes he remembered the best moments of his life. And indeed it worked replacing his sadness with a small smile.

Flashback End

"After that night mom appeared in my dream and I asked her that I want to meet you again. And you know she said one day my angel will be with me." Amelia breathed out still processing what happened.

Indeed she remembers that she gave her one of the precious treasures to some little sad boy but she didn't remember that it was Alexander. Indeed the world is so small.

She smiled at Alexander giving him the flower back. She slowly engulfed him in her embrace making him close his eyes.

"You will never leave me, right angel."

"Yes, I will never leave you, Alex." He smiled hugging her tightly. While Amelia kissed his forehead.

She never thought that she will meet that little sad guy again and that be in this way. Or that Lil guy will ever remember her. Maybe it was his wish to meet her again dragged her in front of his father.

Life indeed takes unexpected turns.

Xander Pov

After having a shower I decided to check on my son. I couldn't even for a second get my father's words out of my mind. That old man indeed knows how to play with people's minds.

I wish I could leave the past behind and move on with Amelia or I wish I and Amelia met before in some good circumstances but again life always likes to play and mine is doing the exact.

Today was Sunday so my father decided to sleep for some time while I knew that Amelia wouldn't let Alex be a lazy guy and sleep all day so he must be awake till now.

I was wearing loose sweatpants and a white loose shirt as today I had no office work. I wanted to spend my free time with my son and. Yeah with my wife.

It's kind of still weird for me to address Amelia as my wife when all my life only girl I wanted to give that title was Mia. Shaking off my thoughts I entered my son's room only to freeze in my place.

There she was again taking away my breath. I still couldn't get her beautiful self from the party away and now this. My heartbeat started accelerating against my will taking her figure in my head.

My wife stood in front of a window, looking like an angel. She was wearing a white skirt reaching to her knees and a beautiful sweater which made her look so squishy. Her hair were looking little wet from below like she just took a shower.



She turned around towards me holding a book in her hand. Her face was bare she wore no make-up and still looked so angelic.

Now I know why Alex calls her angel.

"Xander." Again her sweet voice hit my eardrums making me gulp. Why I always become so nervous around.

"Amelia. Good morning." She smiled at me making my heartbeat go crazy. What is wrong with me well that's the question I am asking myself every day now.

"Good morning. If your here for Alexander then you should go to the garden. We decided to spend some time in the garden today." I nodded my head with my usual blank face and emotionless eyes.

"Amelia I wanted to say something." She nodded her head taking steps towards me. She held the book near her chest looking at me with her beautiful innocent eyes.

"Thank you. Thank you for convincing my father. He came last night and we talked, solving our conflicts and that's because of you." She was at first surprised before smiling at me.

"I didn't convince him Xander I just advised him. I am happy that you two are on good terms now." I took a step forward.

"Why Amelia. Why did you defend me when you didn't even know what I have done, why he was so upset with me. Then why." Smiling she shook her head.

"I didn't defend you, Xander. I just asked a father to at least talk to his son. I did no big thing." She said shrugging off.

"Ironic how yesterday you were so barbaric about not interfering in each other's matters and then in the night you backed off your own words," I said with a small smile this time which brought few giggles out of her lips.

"Well, you did so much for me then why can't I do a little for you." I frowned at her words making her chuckle.

"I know Xander you were the one pursuing people to buy my company's shares. Did you think I wouldn't know that?" She said smiling while I stood there like an idiot stared at her not knowing what to say.

I wanted to help her but didn't want her to know but now what she clearly got me red-handed.

"So you were returning a favor," I said with a blank tone yet I could feel sadness in my veins I thought she cares.

"No. I just don't know. Last night I saw the pain in your eyes for the first time Xander and I just wanted to help you." This stopped my breathing. She cares. She does.

"Well don't worry it's not a big deal, I am happy that I could help you. I think I should go now Alex must be waiting." Saying that she started taking steps towards the door.

I don't know what happened to me. I don't know why I did that. But I knew one thing that I had no control over my body, my senses anymore.

Before she could grab the knob of the door I yanked her arm turning her around and pinning her against the door. The door got slammed shut and I let my body dominate hers.

Her eyes looked at me in surprise. She parted her lips to say something but I did something which I never thought I will get the strength to do.

I smashed my rough lips against her luscious ones pulling her in a desperate kiss.
