Chapter 5
Hurt was visible in Harry's eyes which raged Amelia up. She grabbed Liam's arm roughly, turning him around and facing her.
"Yes. She broke the engagement. But you know, we don't care. It's better not to have unfaithful people around us. Only bad times will tell us who's sincere and who's not." Harry smiled lightly, hearing his sister's words.
Liam clenched his jaw before taking a step closer to her, but she didn't step back, just stared at him with the same intensity and challenge.
"You're playing with fire, darling. I told you, didn't I? I told you to come back to me. I told you I wanted you back, and if you didn't come, you would face terrible consequences. But you just don't seem to understand, huh."
"I would rather face the consequences than be with trash like you. I made the mistake of being with you once. I wouldn't make that mistake again." She snapped at him, making him angrier.
Suddenly he grabbed her waist, pulling her against his chest. Her hands fell on his biceps as she gave a hard push on his arms but nothing. He was stronger than her.
Harry tried helping his sister, but instead, Liam's men held him back. Amelia gritted her teeth, giving hard tugs on his biceps, but rather, he leaned closer to her face.
"I want to hate you so badly. But I just don't seem to do so. I love you so damn much. I thought I could live without you, but I was wrong. I can't even sleep without you being beside me. I don't know what to do anymore. I want you back, Amelia. Just stop being stubborn and creating problems for your brother and to yourself and come back to me."
He said, tightening his grip on her waist but only getting hard pushes on his arms. "Never. Let go. I said, let me go. Your touch disgusts me. Let go, Liam."
She raised her voice struggling in his arms while glaring at his dark gaze. His eyes twitched hearing her words. Disgust, she feels disgusted by his touch now. He scoffed.
"Really? Isn't this the same touch and man you used to love madly?" He said, pulling his free hand up and caressing her cheek, but she jerked her head away from him.
"Right. I was used to. I used to. Not anymore. Now let go of me." She said she was struggling, but Liam seemed to enjoy her squirming figure in his arms after five months. He never thought that staying away from her for a few months could become this horrible for him.
"Liam, let my sister go, you fucker. Let her go." Harry yelled at the heartless man standing there staring at his Ex-wife, who was busy glaring at him and trying to push him away.
"You want to know how I felt when I came to know you harassed my sister, Harry? You deserve to feel what I felt." Saying that he slammed his ex-wife's body on the near wall before hitting his lips on hers right away.
Tears started streaming down from Amelia's eyes. Her struggling becomes intense. She started thrashing in his arms, but he had no effect. She started hitting his chest continuously.
He grabbed her wrists and pinned them beside her head on the wall. She closed her eyes in shame and disgust. Her brother's voice was echoing in the whole room.
Harry was crying, yelling, and thrashing in men's hold to get away and help his sister but in vain. Men looked away from the scene, not liking how their boss treated the woman. After all, they had their sister and mother too.
"Punish me, Liam, not her. She's innocent. I beg you. I am not lying. You will regret this, Liam. You will regret this. Please stop." Harry screamed out, still struggling.
Liam finally broke the kiss and placed his forehead on hers, breathing crazily. While Amelia was crying hard, she never thought that one day this man, the same man she loved with her everything could assault her like this.
His actions tore her apart. Opening his dark orbs, he stared at her face for some time before letting her body go. She fell on the floor, breathing painfully.
Guilt rose in his veins as soon as his ex-wife fell on the floor crying badly. But soon, it faded away when his eyes fell on Harry, who was also on his knees crying while staring at his sister.
"Tell me how it feels. It hurts right. That's how to hurt me when I saw my sister's torn clothes and battered figure, bastard." He punched Harry making Amelia cry out even more.
Suddenly, he was again harshly turned around by a hand on his arm. And a sharp pain rose upon his cheek.
His ex-wife, for the first time, slapped him.
Chapter 6
Third Person's POV
Liam's face turned around rapidly when a soft hand came in contact with his cheek, leaving a hard slap there. Amelia's eyes were bloodshot, and cheeks were soaked in tears, and her lips were bruised up because of his kiss.
She breathed sharply before having enough of his nonsense. The things he was doing were beyond disturbing, not only for her but for her brother too.
He was mentally torturing her brother, and she could see that it was indeed working. The way Harry dropped his head in defeat showed how disturbed he was becoming.
"Out!"
She growled lowly making him turn his head towards her. His sharp gaze met her disgusted one. He internally winced, seeing so much hate in her eyes for him.
"Get out, Liam Stone. You already had done enough. I am going to put a restriction order on you now. Today, you have crossed your limits. Get out of my house."
Liam glared at her before taking a step closer.
"Two days. I am giving you two days. I am ready to take this case back. Even Rose and Luna have no problem. But your brother has to marry my sister. And you, my darling, have to come back to me. You have to be mine again."
Amelia looked at him in disbelief before scoffing out. "Neither my brother nor I am going to accept these rubbish offers. My brother wouldn't marry a sly fox."
Liam was about to snap at her, but she held her hand up, motioning him to shut up. "And I wouldn't come back to a scumbag like you ever again. Now see yourself out, and tomorrow, you will get a restriction order."
"You will regret this. I will make you and your brother regret it." Liam challenged her, which she only returned with the same intensity.
"Do your best, Mr. Stone."
Liam gritted his teeth before storming out of the house. His men followed him, leaving Harry crying on the floor. Amelia instantly went to her brother.
Liam's hands, mind, and whole body were itching to grab Amelia and bring her with him. He wanted to force her to come with him back. His days were becoming dark, and nights were restless without her.
A small bundle of happiness he had once in his mansion, he lost her. She was the one who made that four walls building into a home, their home. But now, it is apparent. Everything had been destroyed.
The emotions her eyes flashed for him were beyond redemption. He knew that no matter what he did now, he couldn't win her love back, but he still wanted her with him. He was selfish. He knew it and didn't want to lose her for a lifetime.
Indeed he will make her realize the truth behind his warning. He will give her pain. But he will make sure to heal that pain when he gets her back. He trusts his sister blindly and will do anything to bring justice to her pain.
Even if it's meant to make those siblings' lives a living hell and their every moment a painful second, he will. He will do anything to see the people in pain who cause tears in his sister's eyes.
Amelia consoled her brother. He was a mess after Liam left. The next day she contacted her lawyer and sent the restriction order to Liam. Liam burnt in a fire when he read the document.
No one can keep him away from his love. That's what came to his mind, but again he didn't rush anything. He wanted to wait and let her go to him by herself. He wanted her to break the order.
A few weeks went away like a cloud of dust. Harry's mental health became worst. He started having nightmares and hallucinations. Amelia appointed a psychiatrist for him, but he refused to cooperate.
Amelia was doing her best to save her brother - to do anything in her power to save her brother and bring justice to him. But then it happened, more chaos entered their lives.
After the trial of Harry's case, it was assumed that Harry might lose the case as they have nothing to prove that he didn't assault Rose.
Amelia couldn't help but feel immense loath and disgust for the man she used to adore so much when Liam bought their lawyer. Liam offered a handful of money to Amelia's lawyer, and he dropped the case accepting the money.
Liam was using his power in a highly wrong way. He did everything to make them lose this case, even using dirty methods. But Amelia refused to accept defeat. She was fighting everything for her brother.
"Harry, where are you. Come here. Dinner is ready, and I made your favorite pasta today. Come on." She heard no response from him, so she decided to check on him.
As soon as she entered the room, she felt air knocked out of her lungs when she witnessed her brother's body on the floor. Blood was rapidly oozing out of both his wrists.
One horrified scream filled with pain and shock left from her lips. She screamed his name while running towards him. Tears started streaming down her eyes.
"Harry, Harry. My brother, what have you done? Please, God, don't let anything happen to him. Harry, please hold on. Nothing will happen. Please. What have you done?"
Chapter 7
Third Person's POV
She cried, whispering numerous words. She took the help of her neighbor, who helped her take her brother's body to the hospital as they had a car.
They took him to the operation room right away. While she sat there crying her heart out. Her white shirt was full of her brother's blood. Her hands trembled to see his blood freeze on her skin.
"You can't leave me. You can't. Please don't leave me." She kept on praying for her brother's healing. She paced back and forth to control her breathing that was coming out hard.
Finally, after two hours of the operation, the doctor came out, making her almost jump on him. He sighed as sadness was all over his face.
"Your brother's condition is still not stable. We are trying our best, but it seems like his body has given up. It's like he's running away from responding to us. We can't say anything for the next 24 hours. Pray for him."
With that, he walked away, leaving the shattered sister behind. Amelia cried for the whole night. She wasn't able to take even one wink of sleep. All she could do was cry and weep at her brother's condition.
The clock kept on ticking, and no one came to her. She was all alone, fighting with everything. She stared at the room's door where her brother was kept. He was still under observation.
Finally, 24 hours later, the news that made her hurt more arrived.
"I am sorry, Ms. Kale, but your brother is in a coma now."
Hearing the doctor's words, Amelia fell on the chair, numb. Her heart stopped beating, and her breathing halted. She didn't feel her own body anymore. Her soul was ripping out.
Her brother, her only family, her baby brother were on the verge of death. The doctor clearly said they had no idea when he would regain his consciousness. It may be months, years, or maybe never.
This thought made her lifeless. She cried, kissing her brother's pale hands again and again. Why are innocent people always punished, especially for things they never did?
Liam, his sister, and his mother were getting away with every poisonous act. They tried to win this case with dishonesty, while Amelia attempted to end it fair and square. Then why can't they do the same?
She knew her brother was becoming depressed. She knew how much he was suffering, but she never thought he would become suicidal. She never thought he had lost his strength that he gave up.
ONE MONTH LATER…
Amelia tried her best to earn money to handle her expenditure and her brother's hospital bills. She took the money out of her bag before heading to the reception.
"Hello. I am here to pay Harry Kale's monthly expenses." The nurse nodded and started checking the computer, but soon a tiny frown appeared on her face as she faced confused Amelia.
"But Ms. Kale, your brother's expenditures had been paid. Here is the copy of the receipt." Amelia abruptly grabbed the chit, and soon anger flooded in her veins reading the name on it.
Liam Stone
How dare he? How could he? She clutched the note, turning her knuckles pale in anger. Her blazing gaze met with a nurse who seemed confused and horrified by Amelia's sudden change.
"Give it back—the money this man had paid for my brother. I want to withdraw that money. Kindly give it back to me and take this money." The nurse didn't know what to say or do, but she decided not to interfere as it was not her business.
Amelia clenched the envelope in her hand before stomping out of the hospital. She was burning in rage. How can someone stoop so low? He already had done more than enough, and now he's showing pity.
She reached his company - the same place where she had beautiful yet horrible moments. Ignoring a painful feeling rising in her chest, she strolled towards Liam's office.
"Wait, Mrs. Stone, wait. Sir asked me not to let anyone enter." His secretary tried to stop her.
"It's Ms. Kale. Do not forget that." With that, she took quick and significant steps towards the office, ignoring the stunned girl.
She slammed the door open, meeting with the most disgusting scenario. She was beyond disgusted and felt ashamed that she was once this man's wife.
There he was, having his moment with a girl. She was on his table while he was busy fucking her like a mad man. Liam was half-naked while the girl was only in her undies.
They both stopped when Amelia slammed the door open. They both got startled, and instantly Liam stopped his actions. The girl squealed in surprise, getting away from Liam and grabbing her clothes to wear them.
She ran away from the room that Liam had in his office. It was a secure secret room that only a few people knew about. Liam also covered himself while Amelia was looking away from that disgusting scenario.
His secretary didn't dare enter as she already knew what he was doing inside.
"Amelia you. What are--" His words got cut as Amelia threw the envelope on his face along with the receipt.
"What do you think of yourself, you piece of shit? Do you think we are playing a game here? Do you find this funny? Do you find my brothers and my condition funny? You think I would accept money from a man who's responsible for my brother's condition?"
