"Congratulations." Amelia turned towards her husband who looked at her blankly yet with a soft gaze.

She smiled widely nodding her head.

"Thank you." Suddenly her smile turned sad one when she remembered her brother. Xander sighed

heavily understanding her sudden change.

"Don't worry he will get better soon." Amelia shook her head before taking a seat on the sofa. She was

in Alexander's room who was showering and she was waiting for him.

Alexander doesn't like when someone showers him. He always says that he's a big boy now and he

doesn't want anyone to see him naked especially the female gender. Amelia at first laughed hearing

him but then understanding him she allowed him to shower alone.

"I don't know. I want to be happy. But it still feels so empty without him. Why. Why it has to be him. He

was the warmest person anyone could meet. Then why." Xander sighed before sitting on the bed.

"Sometimes love makes us do things we don't want to." Amelia shot him a look of disbelief shaking her

head.

"Are you kidding me? Your saying after all of this Rose was in love with my brother especially after all

the damage she has done." Xander chuckled coldly before staring straightly into her grey eyes.

"Exactly. She was in love with him and still is. But the heat of the moment made her do something she

didn't attend to but when she realized it was too late. Her love was intense. Not everyone's love is

butterflies and sweets. Some people love beyond any limits. Hers was like that but the way she chose

only brought destruction which she realized late. Too late."

Amelia stared in his blue icy cold eyes trying to understand what to say next. His eyes were cold but

the sadness behind didn't do anything to hide. It was almost like he was in the place where Rose was.

"Her love was intense but remember her guilt will be beyond the intensity. She was wrong and she

understood it the hard way." Amelia leaned forwards placing her elbows on her knees without breaking

eye contact.

"You can't name an obsession as love." This time Xander clenched his jaw as his eyes darken. He

leaned forward as well copying her action.

"If it was an obsession then I don't think regret would have made its way to her heart. If it was an

obsession then she wouldn't have confessed everything in front of the whole crowd. If it was an

obsession she wouldn't have let him go."

Amelia breathed out still staring at him while he did the same. She was curious that why his eyes

turned this much hard hearing the word obsession. Why he was even trying to defend her. When he

can see how much damage she had done.

"Angel." Amelia instantly broke the eye contact turning towards the Lil guy who came out of the

bathroom dressed up in loose pants and an oversized shirt. His hair were messy as they were wet.

She smiled at him before picking him up and walking towards the dressing table to brush his hair.

Alexander let her as he loves how she always dry and brushes his hair.

Xander sat on the bed stared at his wife and son getting ready. Today was his son's birthday. He

wanted to arrange a grand party for his son but Alexander refused to have any party because of two

reasons.

First, he had no good friend so he didn't want to invite anyone. Second, he hates all the luxury and he

wanted to spend his time with his angel. And as it was his birthday so Xander without any word obeyed

his son's request.

Amelia and Xander decided to keep the marriage hidden for some time as they still weren't sure of how

this news will make an impact on Amelia's reputation.

She again had started working on her father's company to save it from bankruptcy. Liam had stopped

interfering of course he had left no reason to. There was no news about him. After the trial, he almost

disappeared in thin air.

Xander secretly helped Amelia's company as well. He didn't pay the debts as he didn't want to show

that he was helping her but only convince some shareholders to invest in her company.

Xander knew that if the news of their marriage went out it will leave a bad impression on Amelia's

company as it was only 10 months of her's and Liam's divorce and the news of marriage can put some

questions on Amelia which he didn't want to. So he decided to hide this marriage till they will find a

better time.

"You know Alex today your angel made the dinner only for you. Everything is your favourite. I am

jealous." Lily said with a pout earning a peck on her cheek by Luca who was also present there.

Luca wasn't only Xander's one of the trusted employee but also a good friend. Lily and Luca were the

only people Alexander was ever been comfortable with that's why Amelia invited them.

"Aunt Lily I am mad at you. Angel told me you're going back." Alex said with a pout glaring at Lily

earning a chuckle from Amelia.

"Sorry, buddy what can I do. Your uncle Luca is forcing me." Luca stared at her in disbelief for lying so

easily while Alex glared at him.

"What can we do Alex. We have important work there." Luca said with a sad smile trying to convince Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

him but Alex only glared at him making him glare at his wife who just shrugged off innocently.

"Alright, Alex it's a fine baby. I am with you right. Your angel wouldn't leave you." This earned a wide

grin from the Lil guy who scooted closer to her laying his head on her chest.

"Promise." He questioned innocently.

"Promise." She whispered in his ear making him smile widely.

While Xander sat there witnessed everything. His face was blank but the love and softness his eyes

were screaming were enough to tell how much he was adoring the duo.

Soon Luca joined him and they started their conversation while Lily joined Amelia and Alexander. Even

though he was talking to Luca but not even for once his eyes left his son and Amelia's face. He was

admiring them and it was clear.

"She's beautiful isn't she."

"Yeah. wait what." Luca cracked up staring at Xander who snapped his head towards him breaking

away from his night dreaming.

"I said she's beautiful and you said yes," Luca said while wiggling his eyebrows.

"I didn't mean in that way you prick." Luca chuckled staring at him with a small smile.

"There is no lie though Xander right. I mean she's beautiful, strong, and a kind-hearted woman. What

more any man can wish for." Xander sighed before looking at her smiling face.

"Yes she is everything you just said and that's the reason. I don't deserve her." Luca's smile faded

away and sadness flooded in his veins.

"Sometimes you need to let the past go Xander." This time Xander chuckled sadly before turning to

Luca.

"Even if I try to let it go it will never leave me. It will always be by my side in the shape of my son." He

said making Luca sigh.

This time Luca went silent as he knew Xander wasn't wrong. Alexander's presence will never let him

forget his past. His painful past where he lost so much. His one mistake. The blind mistake he made is

still haunting him to this day.

Only. If only he could bring that time back. If only he could stop himself that day then maybe. Just

maybe the things would have been so better. The regret and pain will never leave him and he

embraced it.

"What did you think for the future then," Lily questioned Amelia who stared at Alex playing with Luca.

While Xander went to his office as he said he had some important work to do.

"I don't know but right now all I care is about my brother and my father's company. I need to rebuild it. I

need to bring it to the point it was before." Lily nodded before caressing Amelia's arm.

"Have you thought about your and Xander's relation? I mean you and him--" Amelia cut her words

turning to her.

"Lily. What are you saying? What relationship. I and Xander are together only for Alexander nothing

else. And I also don't want to create any relationship with Xander. I am happy seeing Alexander happy

and that's enough."

Grabbing Amelia's hands Lily turned her completely towards her. "Are you kidding me? Your just 27

years old Amy. You need to think about yourself as well."

"Lily I already had enough I don't think I have more strength to try the same relation I got so badly hurt

from. Liam was and is in my heart Lily. No matter how much I try to hate him I can't, I love him. I still do

what should I do it's just not easy to forget the man I love for more than 10 years."

Tears blurred her gaze as she continued, "I still day and night question myself that why he did that. If

he loved me or maybe loves me then why. He broke us so easily. I don't blame him for the things he

did. He's a brother and I am sure if I tell Harry that I was assaulted he would have done worst. But

cheating. Why. I can't forgive that. I can't."

As soon as tears escaped her eyes she instantly wiped them away. Lily as well wiped her tears away

that spilt out hearing her pained voice. Her voice was telling how painful it was for her. It is for her.

"Don't worry Amy time will heal everything," Lily whispered side hugging while Amelia nodded taking a

deep breath.

"It will. Right now my main concern is my brother, only him." Lily nodded with a small smile.

"Don't worry our prince will wake up real soon." Amelia smiled at her nodding her head.

After some time they all headed towards the dining table for the dinner and night away and Alexander's

simple and yet memorable birthday ended as well.

1 week later.

Amelia sighed before plopping on the sofa of her apartment. Today she asked Alexander that she had

some important work so she wouldn't be able to spend a night with him.

And it wasn't a lie. She had some office work to complete and she knew it might take all night. She

sighed grabbing her laptop and working on it. It was nearly 11 pm and she was working consistently for

hours.

Placing her laptop on the table she decided to make a coffee but stopped when she heard a doorbell

ringing. She frowned who could be at this time. She questioned herself before walking towards the

door.

Opening the door her eyes froze and her frown deepens after her grey eyes met with those familiar

green ones. Her hold on the knob tightened as well as her jaw.

"Liam."
