Ex-Wife

Chp-27

"Amelia listen to me," Xander exclaimed following her as she took fast steps towards her room ignoring

the man who was desperately trying to gain her attention.

After he announced her as his wife. He dragged her to his car and drove back to the mansion. They

exchanged no words instead just stayed quite busy in their thoughts. Xander knew that he, in his anger

did something which wasn't his sole right to do so.

He told Liam about Amelia being his wife without asking her and he knew he did wrong but his anger

invaded his sanity when Liam was kept on trying to show that he had no rights over her. On his wife.

As soon as they reached the mansion Amelia ran inside completely ignoring him but he refused to take

her ignorance and ran behind her.

Entering her room Amelia went inside rubbing her face with her palms looking frustrated. Xander

followed her in and closed the door looking at her.

"Amelia." He called her name making her look at him in anger.

"Do you have any idea what have you done Xander? He was already sick and brutally injured. Did you

really had to do this?" Xander let out an irritated sigh removing his tie.

"I know I shouldn't have done it without asking you but that bastard was getting on my nerves. I tried

but I couldn't hold myself back." Amelia looked away sighing heavily.

"Tomorrow this news will spread like fire. I am sure news channels will be fired up." She exclaimed

completely irritated.

"Then that's good. We don't have to hide our marriage anymore." Amelia shot him a look of disbelief.

"You don't understand. Do you." She took few steps towards him.

"Liam isn't only injured physically but he's damaging himself mentally as well. He's guilty. Too much

guilty for what he did to my brother and to me. His guilt isn't letting him move on. He's stuck on the

same spot from where his mind isn't letting him move forward."

"And this desperation can turn his love into something else which I don't want it to. I wasn't taking care

of Liam because I want to give him a chance or want to get back with him Xander. I want him to make

his mind move on just like I have made mine. But you. You just have to ruin everything."

Xander stared at her for some seconds with his blank gaze. "Ruin Everything? I telling your ex-

husband that your my wife is ruining everything. Our relation is ruining everything. Really."

Amelia's eyes widened at his words as she shook her head "I didn't mean that way, Xander. It's not

about our relation or our marriage. It's about how this news will impact Liam's mental state." Xander

scoffed.

"From what I am seeing Amelia. It's not only Liam who's not willing to move on it's you as well. And

you're proving it by running behind him back again and again." Amelia was about to say something but

got interrupted by the ringing of her phone.

Pulling the phone out of her coat's pocket she picked it up right away as it was from the hospital. "Hello.

Yes. What. Yes yes, I am coming." Hanging up the call she was about to run out of room ignoring

Xander.

But Xander wasn't having it. He pulled her back by her arm. "Who was it. What happened." Amelia shot

him a glare.

"It was from the hospital. They said Liam had a panic attack and during the attack, he lost his balance

and fell on the wooden table which resulted in ripping the stitches on his stomach apart. He had lost a

lot of blood and they asked for my presence. See Xander I told you his mental state isn't stable but you

just couldn't understand it."

Snatching her arm from his grip she ran towards her car. She was in so much hurry that she didn't

notice Xander following her in his car.

Entering the hospital she met with the Doctor and was left stunned hearing that they are short of blood

for Liam as his blood group was rare.

"What's his blood group." Amelia flinched jerking around only to find her husband standing there with a

stoic face looking at the doctor and completely ignoring her presence.

"It's O negative Sir." Doctor replied.

"I am O negative you can take my blood." Amelia looked at him in surprise but he refused to spare her

even one glance.

The doctor agreed right away and the nurse took him in. Amelia stared at his back while praying for

Liam to be ok. She knew in some way she had hurt Xander. And how foolish she was that she didn't

even notice that her ignorance was hurting him this bad.

She promised herself that as soon as she will get news of Liam being alright she will talk to Xander and

will explain to him the reason for her continuous ignorance.

After sometime, Xander donated the blood and Liam successfully came out of danger. The doctor

informed Amelia who looked at the way from where Xander had gone to give his blood.

"Doctor where is my. My h-husband." The doctor smiled at her.

"He left. After giving blood. He drank a glass of juice and felt better so he left. I thought he must have

told you." Amelia awkwardly smiled at the Doctor nodding her head.

"Yeah, he did. I forgot. By the way when Liam will wake up." She questioned.

"We can't say anything but we are hoping for him to wake up in the next 12 hours. Let's see." She

nodded and the doctor left.

Her mind again went to her husband. A small smile appeared on her lips remembering how even after

showing his dislike towards Liam he still donated his blood just to save him.

She decided to meet him. She knew she will have to come back tomorrow again to meet Liam and

explain everything. She didn't want to leave him alone in his most vulnerable time. Maybe Xander's

confession might help him to move on.

Finally reaching the mansion she met with Alexander who ran towards her. "Angel you came I just

finished my dinner. Dad also didn't eat today he was looking tired." Amelia smiled at him hiding her

sadness.

"Yeah, he had a lot of work today. Let's go to your room hm." They both played for some time and

finally, Alexander fell asleep. Amelia didn't eat anything and the same goes for Xander so she decided

to bring food to his room.

"Xander." She gently opened the door while holding a tray in her hands. She slowly placed the tray on

the side table only to find her husband standing near the window.

"Xander I brought dinner. Let's eat something." He said nothing except to keep on facing her with his

back. His silence was scaring her.

Walking towards him she placed her hand on his shoulder making him turn around looking at her with

his blank gaze.

"Xander I--"

"I am sorry Amelia." She froze hearing his words.

"I know I shouldn't control your life. I shouldn't make decisions for you. I am sorry but it's just I couldn't

stop myself. Anger and jealousy are something on whom I have no control." He took a step closer to

her as she stayed rooted to her place staring into his eyes.

"But I am also tired, Amelia. It's been nearly 8 months of our marriage but I can see there is no place I

have succeeded in earning in your heart. I am tired of trying on my own. Marriage is a relation that can't

go on one sided Amelia."

"I think it's finally time for you to make up your mind and decide. I am giving you a choice and time." He

gently and carefully placed his palm on her cheek.

"Tomorrow when you will go to meet him I want you to decide. I wouldn't stop you if you want to end

this marriage and chose him."

"Xander l---" She tried saying something but he placed his finger on her lips.

"Shhh. Listen to me. And only me Amelia. Make up your mind. We only have 4 months together but

from now on I wouldn't pester you. I want you to accept me with your own choice. But if you still want to

go back to him then I wouldn't stop you as well. You have every right to make a decision."

Removing his finger from her lips he leaned forward kissing her forehead making her close her eyes

feeling his warm plump lips on her flesh.

"I am here waiting for you. But I wouldn't stop you from having what you want. I just want you to be

mine with your soul and mind. If you want to be mine and you have to prepare yourself to be mine with

your everything but if you want to leave me then I wouldn't stop you as well. Because."

"I respect you. And I don't want to be a reason of your humiliation because of my over possessiveness.

Thats why I am leaving this decision on you." With that, he threw her a last glance walking out of the

room.

Amelia remained frozen in her place debating on what she should do.
