"What are you doing Xander leave me," Amelia said desperately trying to get his hands off her wrist but Xander refused to do so. Harshly pulling her body in front of him he reduced the distance between them before letting her wrist go.

"What am I doing. What the hell are you doing Amelia? You came here to meet him. That bastard and that be on daily basis. Are you kidding me?" Amelia sighed heavily.

"Listen Xander. Your misunderstanding." Amelia tried convincing the seething man who did nothing except to look at her with his usual blank gaze but with a hint of jealousy was swirling in it.

"Misunderstanding. I can clearly see what you two are doing Amelia. For the past weeks, I am trying to get your attention like a desperate man but you kept on ignoring me and this. This was what you were busy in. Meeting your ex fucking husband without telling your husband."

Amelia rubbed her forehead using her palm. She was already tired of all the lecture she had given to Liam to make him realize that they both have to move on in their lives.

She felt quite defeated when Liam exclaimed. "Why are you pushing me away like this Amy. Can't you just pity me and give me a chance to at least court you. Try to convince you. Try to redeem what I did. Try to get ourselves back on track. Can't you."

She felt like someone had pulled her heart using a sharp yet slow knife giving her uncontrollable pain hearing his agonized cracked tone. If she says that her heart didn't throb in pain seeing his condition then it will be a pure lie.

She was devastated. For the first time after their divorce, she didn't try to hold herself back instead let herself broke down in front of him. She hugged him pulled him closer to her to comfort his sorrow.

His grief was wrenching her heart every second. He cried burying his face in her stomach while she did nothing except to let her tears trail down to her neck. Their eyes poured a heavy rain of their destroyed lives.

"And can't you pity me, Liam. Can't you see how much you're hurting me by doing all this? Your not only my first love Liam your my friend. My soulmate. My supporter. Your pain hurts me. Your cries hurt me. Don't do this Liam. Your killing yourself and murdering me as well. Please stop this."

She mumbled kissing his bandaged head making him wail even more. His one arm was tightly wrapped around her waist as he was kept on pressing his face in her flat stomach.

After him crying for God knows how long they both stayed in the same comforting position. After almost a year finally, Liam felt the comfort he craved for so long but he knew this comfort wasn't from his ex-wife. It was from his childhood friend who refused to leave him alone in his sorrow.

Without him realizing he dozed off on the bed making Amelia lay him down carefully. She stared at his sleeping face for God knows how long. She loves him. She still does and she knows it. But is love enough to join those broken strings back?

The answer is the same. No. His cheating had left a huge scar on her heart. On her soul. She lost the biggest blessing of her life after catching him finding comfort and peace in the arms of a woman that wasn't her.

Maybe it was a mistake that was the first thing she thought after relaxing her mind but when she heard about him having affair with his secretary. And even caught them in his office she lost the last string of her hope.

Yes, he didn't cheat twice while they were married. But was it so easy for him to jump in the arms of another woman just right after their marriage? She was devastated as well but she didn't seek comfort in others man's arms when there was no one stopping her.

Maybe she was too loyal for her good. Maybe she was too delusional for her betterment. Liam had no idea him sleeping with another woman had left a huge insecurity bomb in her heart.

Was she so easy to be replaced this faster? Was she so easy to move on from? Her heart. Her soul. Even her mind was attacked by numerous painful questions wherever she remembers how he was holding another woman in his arms just like he used to hold her.

And just when she started to move on. At least trying to move on he again jumped into her life telling her how much he loves her. He proved his regret. His remorse. His love in his every effort after the confession of his sister.

But wasn't it too late to do so? He already had disappointed her to the deepest in her heart. Maybe she would have let him court her so he could understand that his efforts are fruitless but she couldn't.

Not when she's now in commitment with someone else. Someone whose her husband now. Yes, indeed she's too loyal for her own good.

She couldn't just let another man specifically her ex-husband to pester her when she's already had vowed her life to another man. A man whose her husband now.

She gave Xander a chance and she will never back off from her decision after all she made that decision by betting on her heart and soul.

As soon as she exited his room she found her raging husband standing near Harry's room only to grab her wrist and pulling her into an empty room near the hallway.

"Wait don't tell me Xander your not thinking that I am cheating on you. Are you?" She questioned in disbelief.

"Aren't you in some way Amelia? Cheating is not only physical sexual contact Amelia. The most bitter betrayal is giving false hope to someone whose trying to enter your life with pure intentions." Amelia stared in his icy spheres as he continued his words.

"I know you love him. You care about him. But was it necessary to ignore me? Not telling me that you're meeting him daily. I am here trying to help you move on with me but I think I was too careless. Aren't I. From now you're not meeting him again."
