Ex-Wife

Chp-5

Amelia Pov

“I am sorry Ms. Kale but we are trying our best. Your brother seems like he just don’t want to wake up.”

Sighing heavily I took those painful words in check.

Nodding at him I stared at my brother’s body laying lifelessly on the bed. IVs were attached to his body.

I am also running out of money now.

My ex-husband is doing everything in his hands to destroy us. To make me helpless but I can’t. I can’t

give up I have to be strong for my brother.

“Don’t worry brother. Your sister wouldn’t give up like you. I will fight till my last breath. I will.” I said

kissing his pale hand before taking a deep breath and walking out of the hospital.

I don’t even know where should I go now. I don’t even have a job anymore. Our parents business was

already quite small and Liam did a good job in destroying it.

I can only work for a week or hardly a month in any kind of place as I always get fired and I know who

is behind all of this.

After two weeks we again have a trial and the case is just kept on going against us. I can’t believe Liam

can ever play so dirty. I feel ashamed that once I loved that man more than myself that I even forgot my

worth.

“Amelia.” I got startled hearing my name. A familiar face appeared in front of my face making me smile

a little.

She instantly hugged me tightly almost jumping on my body earning a huff from my lips.

“Lily. How are you? You came back.” She pulled back and stared at me with a glare. I was left stunned

when I witnessed a tear escaping her eye.

“Hey. Lily why are you crying.” I gently wiped her wet cheek making her grab my hand.

“You were going through all of this alone. You didn’t even care to inform me. Come on Amy aren’t we

are friends. I thought we are like sisters.”

“Yes, Lily you are like my sister. How can you even question me something like this.” She shook her

head before grabbing my wrist and pulling me into a garden near the hospital.

“Then tell me Amy why am I not informed about all the pain you’re going through alone, It’s even been

6 months when you talk to me. Do you have any idea how worried I was? But you know your ignorance

did a good job. That I decided to visit you and finally came to know about everything.”

I looked down. I wanted to tell her. She’s the only one with whom I could share my pain but in all of this

mess, I forgot about her.

“I am sorry Lily. Forgive me. In all of these problems, I forgot to tell you this. I am sorry.” She shook her

head grabbing my hands.

“Don’t be. I can understand. Yes, I was upset but I can understand that it’s not easy to handle

everything especially on your own. Tell me about my Lil boy. How’s he doing.”

I shook my head as tears gathered in my eyes. “No progress. The doctor is saying it seems like he had

given up. And.”

My throat tightens as a sob gathered in it. She instantly pulled me in her arms. And within seconds, I

burst out crying.

“I can’t do this Lily. I am losing my strength every second. Liam. He had destroyed everything. What

should I do Lily? What.” I sobbed clutching her jacket as she rubbed my back.

“That bastard and bitch. Don’t worry Amy I am here for you. We will fight for our Lil prince.” Shaking my

head I broke the hug and wiped my tears away.

“Lawyer had already told me that chances of our victory are none. Liam had done everything in his

power to win this. I have no proof. Nothing.”

“I don’t even have a job anymore. I need money for my brother. For lawyer. For my basic needs. He’s

trying everything to make me depended on him. Which I don’t want to.”

“And you wouldn’t.” She said grabbing my shoulders and staring straight into my eyes.

“I want to help you. But I am nothing against Stone’s. Especially Liam. We need someone who could

show him his place. Who could help you financially as well as for your brother’s case? And only a

powerful person just like Liam can do it.”

I stared at her telling her that we don’t know any powerful person except Liam but instead she gave me

a small smile.

“You trust me right.” I nodded without any hesitation making her grin happy with my answer.

“So, listen to me. I know one person who’s not only powerful but many people worship him. Don’t worry

you don’t have to do anything wrong. He’s Luca’s boss and I heard he needs help with something. I

can’t explain everything because I think it’s better if he does so. I will send you the address and also

the timing.”

I looked down biting my lip making her sigh. How can I all of a sudden just accept any person’s help

that I don’t even know?

But do you have any choice? A voice in my head taunted as I again sighed heavily. “Amy you said you

trust me then do this. Because he’s the only man who can help you to fight against Liam.”

I looked up at her curious eyes before nodding my head making her smile gratefully. I know Lily can

never decide something for me which could harm me. I trust her more than my own life.

And I am ready to do this. For my brother. For my parents. For myself. I have to do this.

“Alright let’s go somewhere we have a lot of catching up. I missed you so damn much. Even Luca was

asking about you.”

Lily and I were friends from diapers. We are like sisters. But when I got married she also found a

boyfriend. Luca. The guy was the most polite man I ever met. He was in so much love with her. And

soon they got married as well.

But the irony Luca got promoted to another country and that be in a higher position. She had to move

away with her husband. I did miss her a lot. We called each other almost every day but after all this

mess I forgot about her.

Luca wasn’t some rich guy that’s why I don’t want him to get involved with a sly fox like Liam. He’s a

respectful salaried person as well as Lily. She works as an employee too but what makes their

relationship beautiful is their unconditional love for each other.

The next day I got Lily’s message and the address was of some company. The company was actually

near Liam’s. After meeting my brother I walked towards that company.

A small yelp left from my lips when a small body got slammed against my legs. I instantly kneeled down

helping the little guy to stand up.

“Hey, Lil boy. What are you doing alone here? And that be running on streets. Do you have any idea

how dangerous it is.” I said dusting his dirty clothes.

I tilted my head in confusion when the boy kept on staring at me with a weird gaze. I opened my mouth

to ask him something but instead, he whispered.

“Angel.” I raised my eyebrows as an amused smile appeared on my lips. This is the first time someone

called me this.

I gasped out when he suddenly slammed his tiny figure in my arms making me hold him. “Hey, hey

what happened.”

Instead of answering he held me more tightly burying his face in my crook. What’s with this boy. How

can he be so comfortable with a stranger? His parents need to keep a keen eye on him.

“I knew it. My angel will come again. Mom told me my angel will come back.” I left more baffled what

was he even saying.

I tried to tear him away from my body but he held me more tightly. “Please don’t leave me again.

Please angel.”

His little whisper melted me right away. Suddenly I felt like I become a mother. Shaking my head I

picked the boy up. He seems to be 5 to 6 years. But the question of why he was running on road and

that be alone.

“Alright tell me where your parents are. I wouldn’t leave you now tell me. They must be worried about

you right.” He hummed before pointing at the huge building. I frowned it was the same company Lily

sent me an address of.

I walked inside the company and met with numerous people busy with their work. I decided to

approach the receptionist as the Lil boy refused to tell me further details.

But before I could take a step ahead someone almost jumped on me. The girl was breathing heavily. A

small sigh left from her lips like she was relieved. Her eyes were stuck on the guy in my arms. Maybe

she’s his mother.

“Young Master. Where were you? Boss is going crazy, lets go.” She tried grabbing him but he held me

more tightly whimpering.

“Hey hey stop grabbing him. Can’t you see he doesn’t want to go with you? Tell me where his father is I

will take him.” The girl finally looked at me.

She gave me a rude stare before nodding her head and asking me to follow her. After a century we

finally reached his father’s office.

The girl seemed too scared all of a sudden. We heard shouting inside the office. “Go inside with him. I

have something to do. Bye. Be careful.” With that, she ran away but the Lil guy didn’t even budge.

I knocked on the door. “COME IN.” I flinched that unnecessary shout of some hulk inside.

I entered the office and almost gasped at the mess. The beautiful office was ruined. There was even

broken table.

“WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT. SAY IT.” He yelled startling me but the guy in my arms still seems

unaffected by all of this.

The man suddenly turned around and as soon as his eyes fell on the guy he let out a heavy breath and

ran towards us. No jumped on us.

Startled I took a step back. He didn’t even care to acknowledge my presence and gave his full attention

to the Lil boy. But in doing so he forgot to see that we had no distance left which made me extremely

uncomfortable.

“Alex where were you. Do you have any idea how worried I was? LOOK AT ME ALEX.” I again flinched

at the man’s way of handling a kid.

But the Lil boy didn’t react not even a bit. It was almost like he was used to it. The man again yelled at

him and this time tried to grab Alex but I took a step back.

“Don’t force him. This way you will make him more stubborn.” He finally turned his head locking his

dark gaze with mine.

“Who are you.” His deep voice questioned me. I spared the glance at the guy who seemed to travel to

his dreamland.

What the. How can he sleep after all this man’s yelling? The man also noticed Alex snuggling more in

my embrace and sighed with a frown.

“I am actually here to meet someone but then I found your son outside and he wasn’t ready to leave

me.” The man threw me a nasty glare with a frown for no reason and then nodded.

“Who you want to meet.” I gently laid the Lil guy on the couch the only thing that looked quiet better in

the office right now before turning to him.

“I want to meet the owner. I am Amelia Kale. He had an appointment with me.” As soon as I finished

my words something flashed in his eyes.

A smirk appeared on his lips as he nodded his head. “You’re at the right place Ms. kale. And you’re

talking to the right person.”

I frowned but then realized the meaning of his words. He stared at me almost like studying me.

"Xander Storm.”
