Ex-Wife

Chp-6

Amelia couldn’t believe that the messed up man in front of her is the owner of this and many other

companies. His dark brown hair was messy. Eyes were darker than dark. Few buttons of his shirt were

open and the tie was on the floor and the same goes for the coat.

While his sleeves were rolled up revealing tattoos on his one arm. But his gaze was showing

something different. They were dark and emotionless but the hardness was clear in them especially for

her.

“I am sorry. I didn’t know that you are.” He interrupted her shaking his head before heading towards his

seat.

“No problem. Take a seat, Miss. Kale. So we can start the discussion.” She nodded before taking the

seat in front of him carefully as she stepped on the broken glass.

“First I want to confirm. Why are you accepting this offer? What’s the purpose.” He asked her not

looking at her and opening the drawer.

“I want money. For my brother’s treatment and to handle the case.” Xander nodded his head before

placing the file in front of Amelia.

“I don’t care what’s going on in your life Ms Kale. The only thing I want from you is Honesty. I want you

to be honest in your work.”

“I understand Mr Storm but. What I mean what I have to do.” Xander sighed remembering that Lily

didn’t tell her anything.

“You have to be a caretaker of my son. In every way possible. You have to take care of him as your

son.” Amelia internally sighed in relief as the work wasn’t big enough moreover Alex already have

some liking towards her.

Xander gulped before blasting a bomb on her head. He was quite unsure that if she refused the offer

after his next condition but he needed to do it.

“And you have to marry me.”

Amelia’s head shot up within a second as she stared at the man with wide eyes and parted lips. Has he

lost his mind? She wanted to scream on his face but decided otherwise.

“What are you saying, Mr Storm. What does taking care of your son has to do with marrying you.” She

questioned earning a blank look from him.

“This.” He said pointing at the file in front of her. He motioned her to read it and she did.

She was shocked after reading the file. It was the will of his late wife. In that will, it was written that if

Xander has to keep the custody of Alexander his son. He needs to remarry otherwise he will lose the

custody after Alexander will become 7 years old.

What the...

What is this nonsense? How can she put this kind of condition? Alexander is Xander’s son then why

doesn’t he have any right on his custody. This doesn’t make sense. It is also stated that if Xander didn’t

marry before Alexander become 7 then his whole custody will be in hands of Alexander’s

grandparents.

And Xander will lose the right to even meet the child. God, what was wrong with that woman when she

was making this will. This will doesn’t make any sense.

“I know it’s confusing and quite ridiculous too. But you don’t know the whole situation that’s why it’s not

making sense to you. But to me, I know the reason why my wife did that.”

I glanced at him before reading the clause. It says that it’s in Xander’s hands who he wants to marry

and how he wants to pursue the marriage. And if the marriage failed then its in his hands and his

spouse if they want to separate but no divorce can take place in the first year of the marriage.

I closed the file and looked up meeting the eyes of the curious man who seems to wait for my answer. I

don’t know anymore. Marry him. That’s just impossible. I mean I don’t know this man plus I just god

divorce a few months ago.

Even though my feelings for Liam had started to fade away but still marrying someone else and All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

creating the same relation again scares me.

“I know what are you afraid of Ms Kale. But you don’t have to. I have no interest in this marriage as

well. Next month is my son’s seventh birthday and I don’t want to lose him. He’s the only one I have.”

I looked at him with a frown. But this file says Alex do have grandparents. He seemed to understand

my frown and chuckled.

“Yes, I do have parents but they had left me when I got married without their permission. They didn’t

approve of my marriage with my late wife and left me. But that’s not important thing here. The important

matter is I want my son’s custody as soon as possible.”

“But why me. I mean you just met me. You can marry a person you know or the one you can trust

without any doubt not a stranger like me.”

I saw something flashed in his eyes but it faded right away as he leaned forward to the table keeping

his blank gaze locked with mine.

“That’s why. You answered your question, Ms. Kale.” I frowned at his words as he didn’t break the

emotionless eye contact.

“You are a stranger. You have no greed. You already told me that you only want money for your brother

and his ongoing case. Moreover, you just got divorced from a man you still love.”

This stopped my heart. I gulped blinking few times as I still didn’t look away from his emotionless icy

orbs.

“You don’t care what I have. You don’t care how handsome I am. You don’t care who I am. You only

care about your brother’s treatment and victory in that case. Isn’t it Miss. Kale?”

I so wanted to tell him that I don’t love that sick bastard but I know it will be a lie. If removing the love

from one’s heart that was buried for so many years this easy then life would have been so easy.

I still love Liam. I do but I have left no heart to forgive him or to think of having any relation with him

again. He lost me the day he decided to cheat on me. He lost me the day he signed those papers. He

lost me the day his ego won against his heart.

“You don’t have to worry Ms. Kale. Our marriage will only be for my son. You will be his mother. Give

him your love and care. We will be married only in papers. I have no right in your life matters and you

have no right in mine. Our marriage will remain only as a contract.”

“I wouldn’t force you in anything. I am ready for this because I can see my son already likes you. And

this marriage will remain still only for him. But if you ever want to leave this marriage I wouldn’t stop you

but in the first year, you can’t. The choice is yours.”

I stared at the table blankly. What should I do? I never even imagined that one day I will think of giving

the place that Liam owned for years to someone else.

Why Liam why. What have you done? What have you put me in? That now I am this helpless to accept

this stranger for the sake of my brother.

I am feeling like selling myself for money. Clutching my fists. I bit my lip stopping myself from bursting

into tears I don’t want to be weak. I have to be strong. Yes, Amelia, you have to be strong for your

brother. For his dignity. You have to be.

Looking up into his emotionless eyes I took a deep breath before nodding my head.

“I will do it. I will marry you. And.”

I turned my head towards sleeping Alex and mumbled my next words.

“I will be Alexander’s mother.”
