Ex-Wife

Author Pov

Amelia's body stood rigid against the door while Xander pushed his hard chest against hers even covering the tiny distance that was left between them.

Her eyes were wide as saucers as his lips stayed still on her lips. The book in her hand dropped down on the floor with a thud.

She was shocked to her core as she never even in her wildest dreams thought that Xander will ever do something like this. She never thought about him in that way till this moment.

Xander after proper seconds moved his lips slightly before closing his eyes steadily properly feeling her soft plump lips against his. His one arm slowly went to her waist as he wrapped it around her.

Her system finally started working when she felt the pace of his kiss increasing. She instantly placed her palms on his chest to push him away but instead, Xander himself parted his lips away from hers.

She finally let out a shaky yet heavy breath out which she was holding in. Xander's chest was heaving back and forth as well. He indeed broke the kiss as soon as he felt her trying to push him. Even though he didn't want to but he still had to.

He slowly heaved his icy gaze up meeting her grey stunned ones. They both stared at each other breathing out. Their noses were still brushing each other's while they kept their eyes connected.

"W-What did you---" Amelia stammered trying her best to not yell at him.

"I want to say something, Amelia." He rapidly said gulping down. His voice was clear and loud. He knew he might get a lot of curses from her after the stunt he pulled so he decided to express what he wants.

"Amelia. I know what I am going to say might seem ridiculous to you but I still want to say and want you to at least consider." Amelia still stood against the door trapped between his arms waited for him to continue.

"It's been 4 months that we got married. I know this marriage was for Alex. But Amelia. I..." He gulped down before taking a deep breath.

"I want to give us a chance. Our marriage a chance."

Her breathing once again got halted hearing his words. She was too shocked to say anything so Xander continued his words.

"I like you Amelia I do." He whispered breathing against her lips.

"I know it's hard for you and trust me it's hard for me as well. We still have 8 months and I just want you to know that from this very moment I want us to work out and I will try everything to convince you and if in the next 8 months I couldn't be able to win you then if you wanna end this marriage I wouldn't stop you."

Letting his words out he took few steps back freeing her from his trapping while Amelia stared at him still processing what he was saying.

"I know my sudden confession had shocked you but I wouldn't force you. You can take your time. I just want to try this marriage. I want us to work. I don't want to see you as just Alexander's well-wisher. I want you to be my wife and a mother to my son for real. I want us to be a family."
