"I want you to find everything about Rose Stone and Harry kale case. Don't skip even one bit of information. Get it." The man nodded and went out while Xander sighed leaning his back on the seat.

It's been a week when he got married to Amelia. And he was beyond grateful for making that decision. Amelia proved herself again and again by caring about Alex like a mother.

But what worries him was her continuous getting weaker because of all the tension. She was trying to find even a minor evidence that could help to make Harry's case in her favour but nothing. She was helpless.

Xander knew she asked him to not intervene in this matter but he was done watching her fighting on her own. So he finally decided to step in after listening to the lawyer that the chances of winning this case are none.

He wanted the best for the woman who did so much for his son. Harry's condition wasn't getting better either. He was making no progress which was breaking Amelia even more.

After a few days, Xander's private investigator came with as much as information he could get.

"Sir, from the information it was obvious that Mr. kale has always been loyal to his fiance Kelly. His relation with Ms. Stone was like friends. It was confirmed from some of Mr. Kale's school friends that Ms. Stone once confessed her love to Mr. Kale but he refused her proposal and tried convincing her to move on which Ms. Stone did."

Xander frowned before nodding to the man motioning him to continue. "Ms. Stone never had any romantic relationship with anyone. But it seems like she started distancing herself from Mr. Kale when he got engaged with his ex-fiance Ms. kelly."

"There was nothing much I could find but I found this." He placed a file in front of Xander which he instantly opened up.

"This film proves that Ms. Stone called Mr. Kale that night at her house the night he was accused of assaulting her. And also I found this message it says that Ms. Stone was depressed when she called Mr. Kale."

Xander read the file before sighing heavily. "Any camera or something which could exactly show what happened that night." The man sighed shaking his head in denial.

"I tried my best Mr. Storm but I couldn't find any more proofs." Xander again examined the file and then his eyes fell on one message sent by Rose to Harry. And the message was quite creepy.

"I know in your eyes I am still a kid. A little girl who can't match your expectations but I swear love just one chance and I can prove that I can be a woman for you." Xander sighed heavily after reading the message. It was clear that they can use the message but that thing still doesn't justify him assaulting Rose.

"Damn she's obsessed with him." The man nodded his head agreeing with him.

"It's obvious sir Mr. Kale doesn't seem to be wrong. It's like he was indeed set up by her." Xander slammed the file on the table before scrunching his nose in disgust.

"That's why I hate these women. All they know is how to get what they want. Selfish and deceivers." Xander seethed out making the man sighed heavily.

"I want Rose Stone address. I know how to end this shit." The man nodded before pulling Rose's information out and settling it on the table which Xander took it right away.

After reading the file he went out of the office heading to his destination. This is his last hope. He knew tomorrow's trial will finally decide the fate of Harry. It was almost Do or Die situation for him.

He had no idea why he was doing this but he wanted to help the woman who did so much for his son. After so many years his son finally has started to smile, laugh and behaving like a normal kid.

And it was all because of her.

Finally reaching the destination he knocked at the door. And finally, a petite woman with a pale and tired face came out. She looked at him with a confused gaze.

"Can I help you?" She asked him with her weak voice.

"I want to meet Rose Stone." She stared at him for some seconds before nodding her head.

"I am Rose. What can I help you with." She questioned staring at him in confusion.

Xander was shook after the revelation. She is the woman who did that vile act. How can so innocent looking woman do something like this? She looked too much fragile for someone who could do something so vicious.

"Can I come in?" She hesitated but finally let him in. He motioned his bodyguards to stay out.

She offered him to have something but he replied with nothing. He stared at the apartment. It was hard to believe that one of the famous billionaire's sister was living in this small contracted and deserted apartment.

"What you want to talk about." He turned around staring at her with disgust.

"Don't you want to know how Harry Kale is doing?" Her eyes suddenly widened hearing that particular name. Xander chuckled at her horrified face.

"What happened. Are you afraid of finding something which might increase your guilt than it already is now?" She looked down as she couldn't look up anymore.

"Love is weird. It makes a man to do the things he never thought of ever doing. Love doesn't teach deceiving acts. Evil thoughts and harmful games. Is this what you call love that you have for Harry. The man who treated you with only respect you destroyed his character. Is this love, Rose."

He witnessed her taking a sharp breath as her knees wobble. Tears started streaming down her eyes. "Please s-stop. I am already dying second by second. I--"

"Oh no, you don't have to die. You have succeeded in ruining your so-called love. His fiance broke the marriage already believing your accusations. You should celebrate Rose. You should throw a party now."

She shook her head letting out few sobs. He chuckled. "Pathetic. Aren't you. Victimizing your lying self."
