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.
