"What are you doing here," Amelia questioned crossing her arms. She was sitting in her office busy with her work when her Ex-husband decided to pay a visit.

"I just came to meet you." He said shrugging making her annoyed.

"You're under restraining order Liam. And my one call, you will be arrested for trespassing the order." She said with a smug face making him sigh.

"Exactly. Retraining order Amelia. You want to be away from me this badly." His turned soft in sadness making her sigh.

"Look Liam you and I aren't a couple anymore. At least try to move on with your life. You're not getting anything from me. I already forgave you right. And that's the only thing I can give you because something like us can never happen again."

Hearing her words Liam's heart broke into million pieces. For the past 4 months, he has been killed by the burden of mistakes every second. He wanted to redeem his mistakes but that one question never left his heart.

Will she be able to accept him again.

And her every move was making it obvious to him that no. She will never be able to accept the man who caused her and her brother so much pain.

What was he thinking? Even if the accusation of his sister were proven right still he had no right to torture his ex-wife. He lost the chance of proving his love to her after all he let another woman warm his bed when his wife was struggling to meet her both ends.

He stopped meddling in her business matters. He even started to help her to grow her company once again. He knew what he was planning or going to do will only make her despise him more but that was the only way to be closer to her.

"I am not here for personal talk Amelia. I am here for the professional matter." She frowned at him but didn't say anything. He slowly took a seat in front of her.

"You have a debt to pay Amelia." He said hiding the smirk that wanted to appear on his lips but he restrained himself. Amelia's eyes expanded a little.

"Debt what debt as long as I know we have nothing to owe each other or our companies." He shook his head.

"No Amelia. I think you have forgotten after our marriage I invested a lot of money in your company and you demanded to keep that money as a debt. I never mentioned it before but I thought you must have remembered."

Amelia sighed heavily remembering the time even after her refusal Liam invested a heavy sum of money in her company as she was struggling financially and she had promised to pay him back taking the money as a debt. They both never really mentioned that money so she forgot that matter.

But how. How can she forget this much big of a matter? She should have paid him back a long time ago but if only she had remembered it. Sighing once again she stared at Liam with suspicious eyes.

"Well yeah, I have a way. You don't have to pay me money." Amelia knew this man isn't after the debt. He's just doing this so he could win her back and the thing that was bothering her what he's planning.

"I want to buy few shares from your company and the debt will be clear." Amelia closed her eyes poking her inner cheek. She knew it. She knew he's planning something. This cunning bastard.

If Liam bought the shares of her company then he can visit the company whenever he feels like and no one can stop him. And the amount he's paying for the shares will make him one of the VIP shareholders.

In this way, not even a restraining order can keep him away. Because this company will have his shares and the court will never blame him for visiting the company. In this way he can meet her anytime he wants as she's the owner and now Amelia has to take her complaint back as well because the contract has been signed after she filed the complaint.

"Fine," Liam smirked satisfied and Amelia held the cell phone before calling her lawyer and taking the case back. She knew she had no other option but to tolerate this man. But right now her main concern was Xander. She just hopes that he would understand her without being possessive.

"Amy. I --"

"Amelia. My name is Amelia especially for you Liam. Get this thing in your thick skull." She said making him sigh heavily.

"Come on now I can't even call you Amy." He exclaimed in frustration.

"Yes you can't and it will be better if you address me as Ms Kale during work Mr Stone. If you're done get out." Liam gritted his teeth glaring at her.

"I swear Amelia if you kept on pushing me away I will end doing something to myself. Your playing with my mind and It's getting hard for me to tolerate our ignorance." She scoffed.

"Oh please Liam Stone. Don't give m--" Her words cut short hearing the ring of her phone. She picked up the call before shooting him a glare.

"Hello, Ms Kale I am talking from *** Hospital. Your brother Harry kale had a heart stroke a few minutes ago and his condition is extremely critical. Please it will be better if you would come to the hospital as soon as possible."

Amelia was frozen in her place before dropping her phone that met with the floor. She without any care grabbed the car keys and dashed outside. Liam was stunned at her sudden panicked figure.

He yelled her name few times but she didn't even spare him a glance making him worried as well. He ran towards his car seeing her flee away. He followed her and was left too shocked seeing Amelia for the first time driving so fast without caring about anything.

Reaching the hospital his heart started beating faster. He joined the puzzles and instantly fear crept in his heart. No Harry will be alright right. He gulped down trying to assure himself that nothing will happen to him.

Amelia instantly ran towards the receptionist. "My-My brother Harry kale where is he." She asked with her trembling voice. She seemed like she will burst out crying anytime.

"He's in the emergency room, Mam. The stroke was really serious that's why the doctor took him in an emergency right away." Tears ran rapidly down her eyes as she ran towards the emergency room.
