"Congratulations." Amelia turned towards her husband who looked at her blankly yet with a soft gaze. She smiled widely nodding her head.

"Thank you." Suddenly her smile turned sad one when she remembered her brother. Xander sighed heavily understanding her sudden change.

"Don't worry he will get better soon." Amelia shook her head before taking a seat on the sofa. She was in Alexander's room who was showering and she was waiting for him.

Alexander doesn't like when someone showers him. He always says that he's a big boy now and he doesn't want anyone to see him naked especially the female gender. Amelia at first laughed hearing him but then understanding him she allowed him to shower alone.

"I don't know. I want to be happy. But it still feels so empty without him. Why. Why it has to be him. He was the warmest person anyone could meet. Then why." Xander sighed before sitting on the bed.

"Sometimes love makes us do things we don't want to." Amelia shot him a look of disbelief shaking her head.

"Are you kidding me? Your saying after all of this Rose was in love with my brother especially after all the damage she has done." Xander chuckled coldly before staring straightly into her grey eyes.

"Exactly. She was in love with him and still is. But the heat of the moment made her do something she didn't attend to but when she realized it was too late. Her love was intense. Not everyone's love is butterflies and sweets. Some people love beyond any limits. Hers was like that but the way she chose only brought destruction which she realized late. Too late."

Amelia stared in his blue icy cold eyes trying to understand what to say next. His eyes were cold but the sadness behind didn't do anything to hide. It was almost like he was in the place where Rose was.

"Her love was intense but remember her guilt will be beyond the intensity. She was wrong and she understood it the hard way." Amelia leaned forwards placing her elbows on her knees without breaking eye contact.

"You can't name an obsession as love." This time Xander clenched his jaw as his eyes darken. He leaned forward as well copying her action.

"If it was an obsession then I don't think regret would have made its way to her heart. If it was an obsession then she wouldn't have confessed everything in front of the whole crowd. If it was an obsession she wouldn't have let him go."

Amelia breathed out still staring at him while he did the same. She was curious that why his eyes turned this much hard hearing the word obsession. Why he was even trying to defend her. When he can see how much damage she had done.

"Angel." Amelia instantly broke the eye contact turning towards the Lil guy who came out of the bathroom dressed up in loose pants and an oversized shirt. His hair were messy as they were wet.

She smiled at him before picking him up and walking towards the dressing table to brush his hair. Alexander let her as he loves how she always dry and brushes his hair.

Xander sat on the bed stared at his wife and son getting ready. Today was his son's birthday. He wanted to arrange a grand party for his son but Alexander refused to have any party because of two reasons.

First, he had no good friend so he didn't want to invite anyone. Second, he hates all the luxury and he wanted to spend his time with his angel. And as it was his birthday so Xander without any word obeyed his son's request.

Amelia and Xander decided to keep the marriage hidden for some time as they still weren't sure of how this news will make an impact on Amelia's reputation.

She again had started working on her father's company to save it from bankruptcy. Liam had stopped interfering of course he had left no reason to. There was no news about him. After the trial, he almost disappeared in thin air.

Xander secretly helped Amelia's company as well. He didn't pay the debts as he didn't want to show that he was helping her but only convince some shareholders to invest in her company.

Xander knew that if the news of their marriage went out it will leave a bad impression on Amelia's company as it was only 10 months of her's and Liam's divorce and the news of marriage can put some questions on Amelia which he didn't want to. So he decided to hide this marriage till they will find a better time.

"You know Alex today your angel made the dinner only for you. Everything is your favourite. I am jealous." Lily said with a pout earning a peck on her cheek by Luca who was also present there.

Luca wasn't only Xander's one of the trusted employee but also a good friend. Lily and Luca were the only people Alexander was ever been comfortable with that's why Amelia invited them.

"Aunt Lily I am mad at you. Angel told me you're going back." Alex said with a pout glaring at Lily earning a chuckle from Amelia.

"Sorry, buddy what can I do. Your uncle Luca is forcing me." Luca stared at her in disbelief for lying so easily while Alex glared at him.

"What can we do Alex. We have important work there." Luca said with a sad smile trying to convince him but Alex only glared at him making him glare at his wife who just shrugged off innocently.

"Alright, Alex it's a fine baby. I am with you right. Your angel wouldn't leave you." This earned a wide grin from the Lil guy who scooted closer to her laying his head on her chest.

"Promise." He questioned innocently.

"Promise." She whispered in his ear making him smile widely.

While Xander sat there witnessed everything. His face was blank but the love and softness his eyes were screaming were enough to tell how much he was adoring the duo.

Soon Luca joined him and they started their conversation while Lily joined Amelia and Alexander. Even though he was talking to Luca but not even for once his eyes left his son and Amelia's face. He was admiring them and it was clear.
