Ex-Wife by Mirah Selim (paper ebook reader TXT) 📕

Amelia sighed heavily sitting on the bench. She stared at the beautiful pond in the garden. All she could do is to think of what will happen when she will tell this to Xander.

It's been a month she confessed to him and they both started their new journey full of love. Alexander knew for a long time that his father had married his angel and he was happy for them. They both shifted to Noah's house and after that, she came to know about a lot of things.

She always wanted to ask Xander that why Alex's custody was not in his hands when he was the legal father. Xander answered that in the papers he was Alex's father but the custody was solely under Mia's name and before her death, she made that will.

She also came to know that Noah indeed married for the second time after his divorce from his first wife. They have no idea where that woman is. But Noah was happy with his second wife.

Amelia was excited to meet her but then Xander told her that she died a year after Mia. Amelia could see that how much Xander loved that woman. His eyes held respect and sadness for the woman.

Alexander also considered Noah's second wife as his grandmother. Everything seemed too good to be true for her. But eventually, she accepted that indeed she had her own beautiful family and she didn't ask for more.

But fate had decided something else. Suddenly she remembered those words again.

"Congratulations Mrs. Storm. You're 3 weeks pregnant."

If she says she wasn't happy then it will be a lie. She was overwhelmed with happiness. She wanted to be a mother again. And now what she wishes was coming true. After losing her first child she was depressed. Beyond broken. But after so long she was finally getting that happiness back.

But she was afraid as well. She had told Xander about her miscarriage and he comforted her. He knew her body is too weak to carry a life in her. And She could see how much careful he was nowadays with her.

It was obvious he didn't want her to carry a child. He was afraid to lose her. But even after all the care and protection she still got pregnant. And it was her recklessness indeed she forgot to take pills when they made love while confessing to each other.

Placing her palm on her stomach she smiled widely. "Don't worry baby. This time your mother will do anything to bring you to life." She knew it will be hard but to her luck, this time the doctor also hadn't suggested her abortion instead she said.

"You're health seems better than before Mrs. Storm and to be honest I would like you to go with the pregnancy. But this time you have to be careful. Perfect nutrition. And no stress will be helpful."

Amelia was quite thankful after hearing her. And finally decided to do anything to give birth to her child. A child that will be hers and Xander's. The man she loves.

Smiling she shoved the last piece of the hotdog in her mouth and wiped her hands with the tissue. She finished the juice as well and decided to buy lunch for Xander. She wanted to meet him. She wanted to tell him right away she couldn't wait any longer so she decided to visit his company.

Suddenly she frowned. Why did she never went to his company before? That was true she never went to his company after their first meeting. Suddenly she felt nervous. It was hard for her to gather strength and tell him about him going to be a father.

She entered the company holding a shopping bag. She was wearing dark sunglasses and a beautiful light brown shirt and with black pants which complimented her long legs perfectly. Amelia had always been a fan of simple and dull colour outfits.


 

(Amelia's outfit. You can imagine yours if you don't like it.)

She was in her business attire as she had to go back to her company after meeting Xander. And before going to the hospital she went to her company as well. Even though Harry was handling the company but still few work was still on Amelia.

Everyone stared at the woman with a dropped jaw. Who could say the woman was almost 29. She still looked like she's in her teenage days. And utterly beautiful. Her powerful walk and curt nods to the workers who were greeting her made her seems so intimidating.

Her steps or posture didn't faze for even a bit. She walked towards the elevator and without any change in her attitude, she pressed the floor button.

A guy stood behind her gulped watching her standing in front of him tall and stiff. The woman was too intimidating. He thought indeed they were fated to be each other. Xander and Amelia had something in common. Their intimidating aura.

Finally reaching the floor she walked towards his office and came in face to face with the same girl who once came to her office. Rhea. Xander's secretary.

"Oh hello, Mrs. Storm. I am sorry I didn't know you were coming or I would have informed Mr. Storm." Rhea said in a professional tone with a gentle smile. Amelia nodded still looking at the woman through her dark shades.

"You can wait in his office he's in a meeting right now. I will inform him about your arrival as soon as he will be done with the meeting." Amelia nodded as Rhea escorted her inside with a polite bow.

"I actually wanted to apologize." Amelia removed her glasses staring at her.

"Last time we met I am sorry for that. I used to admire Mr. Storm a lot. Please don't get me wrong. Listen to me first." Amelia gritted her teeth when she used the word admire. But hearing Rhea's panicked voice she calmed herself.

"I still admire him a lot but only as my boss and hardworking person. Nothing else. I am sorry for the misunderstanding last time. I didn't know he was married. I am really sorry. I hope you would understand that I am only his secretary and nothing else." Rhea said with a sincere smile making Amelia return it with a small one.

"It's fine Rhea. I can understand. Don't worry. Your young and soon you will find someone far better than Xander even though for me no one's better than him but still." Amelia joked making Rhea chuckled.
