chapter 20

"Shhhh.." Xenith tries to make Emily quite but as she continued to push him he tilts her head upwards and leaned for a kiss taking her to the bed whilst kissing muffling her voice making her gasp for air...he let go of her sweet candy-like lips, adjusting a pillow under her head and gets up pulling the duvet from beneath her legs covers her up...he smiled at her shocked expression and kissing her forehead whispers, "Good night, dream about me" and goes away switching off the lights beside her, settling himself on the couch and turns facing Emily who was still in disbelief as to what's happening with her...she turned around but to her luck, she saw Xenith looking at her, "Crazy" she mutters and turn to her left to avoid those gaze overflowing with love for her making Xenith laugh at what she spoke as he could hear her in the silence of the room even her breathing that turned normal signalling him that she slept. Thus sleep overcomes him too and he goes into a deep slumber.

It’s been days since the incidents the cops are trying to find out Mathew but he has gone underground which makes everyone suspect a big conspiracy. Xenith and Zain are trying their best to find out Mathews real motive behind the kidnapping whereas Marshal and Messie are not spitting out the truth as to why they did it, who is backing them and where is Mathew??? All, the questions are left unanswered as both the mother and son are thick-skinned, laughing out at every question the cops asked them… Everyone is sure that there is a big hand behind them as the country’s best criminal lawyer is standing for them and trying his best to save both of them. Marshal or Messie don’t have that much money to hire a small scale lawyer too than who can be the person who can hire a lawyer for them because if that person is doing this then it means that he or she is trying to save him/herself. Xenith and Zain have started to investigate the matter personally as they fear that Mathew can be a big trouble for them and also they tightened the security around the mansion…Jamie is hating that she is all the time surrounded by the guards and complains about it all the times and her sweet fights with Zain has become a mode of amusement for the whole family while it’s the other case for Emily who has been overly protected by Xenith.

Xenith mostly stays back home whenever he doesn’t have important work at the company while Zain is taking care of both the companies. Xenith and Emily relation is progressing like baby step as Emily is still unsure about their relation whereas Xenith never leaves a chance to show out his feeling and love to her. He grabs every chance to get intimate with her and his kissing have risen a level higher which have left Emily baffled as she never imagined Xenith to be such a big tease and romantically involved while, on the other hand, Xenith gets amused seeing Emily in that state and it became his hobby to tease her, cornering her at every chance he gets.

“Something for you” Xenith sits beside Emily who is working on her laptop and flung few sheets of paper in front of her

Emily looks at him with inquisitiveness and then examining the paper in his hands, “Finally you are divorcing me” she without taking the papers from him states seeing the legal document in his hand

Xenith huffs annoyedly, “In your dreams, why the heck you are always bringing this topic up and can’t be happy for what you have or is it you like to mess with me” he throws the paper on her laptop, “Read it and stop assuming things that won’t happen ever” and looks away

Emily is now used to his changing temperament which changes like the weather so without arguing further she takes the document and read it, “I got Jamie’s custody” she squeals in joy reading the front page and looks at Xenith with happy tears in her eyes, “Yes, you got it” Xenith answers her wiping the tears away as she was in disbelief, “You know I have been trying to get it still long and almost lost all the hope…You won’t believe how much Steven tried but they won’t buzz and now Jamie was with me I totally forget to take her in legally” she expressed her feelings which Xenith hear patiently as it was for the first time that she expressed her emotions openly and shared something with him but to his lucky stars Emily hugs him whispering “Thank you” which makes the blood rushing through his veins and his rasing heart was beating so faster that Emily also could hear it…Emily realizing what she did back off muttering “sorry” in a low voice as Xenith didn’t hug her back as he didn’t expect Emily will hug him, he realized his mistake and pulls Emily in a hug now confusing her…Breaking the hug they both were in a daze as what’s happening with them while Emily has gone a shade of pink which was an indication that she is blushing and now shyly trying to cover it with her hands as Xenith eyes are not leaving her for a moment even.

Emily diverts herself from the piercing gaze of Xenith and reads the whole document which makes her frown and the smile on her face vanished, she turns towards Xenith who was still observing her and looking at her intently, “Why your name is also included as Jamie’s legal guardian along with me and why you have a need to involve yourself into it” she inquired 

“Because the lawyer suggested that this way it will be easy for you to get the custody” Xenith replied shortly leaving out the important details which Emily understood after being with him all this time, “Did the lawyer suggest you or you suggested him to do it so that you can use Jamie against me in future” Emily misunderstanding his motives alleges Xenith which makes him round his fist and tightens his jaw showing his anger but Emily stayed in her position unaffected

Xenith rubs his face with both hands to calm himself down, “Why the hell you always thinks of me that low…how can you even think that I will use an innocent baby to get you or even drag her in my messed up life” he questioned her roaring as it became hard for him to calm his nerves as he feels that Emily never believes him 

“Off course you can because if I will ask for divorce than you can use these legalities against me, indirectly using Jemmie and it’s not like I don’t trust you but every time it’s you who create a situation that I need to question you” Emily in the same angry tone replies clearing her point and thoughts

Xenith scoffs at her, “Seriously, you just think from your point and why is that you are stuck up on taking a f****** divorce…You know what do think whatever you want, I don’t care and also let me know if you don’t want this I will ask the lawyer to let it go as I have brought it for you to sign but I don’t think now you will require this anymore and you can ask your trustworthy friend Steven to do it in your ways” he takes away the paper from her hand crushing and tearing them into pieces throws them in the dustbin, leaves the room angrily banging the door shut which makes Emily flinch and scare at the same time.

"How can he thinks that I am wrong or I am really accusing him" she mumbles to herself as to why they always end up like this and in a frenzy ruffles her hairs pulling them, "arrgghhh...
