"Amelia listen to me," Xander exclaimed following her as she took fast steps towards her room ignoring the man who was desperately trying to gain her attention.

After he announced her as his wife. He dragged her to his car and drove back to the mansion. They exchanged no words instead just stayed quite busy in their thoughts. Xander knew that he, in his anger did something which wasn't his sole right to do so.

He told Liam about Amelia being his wife without asking her and he knew he did wrong but his anger invaded his sanity when Liam was kept on trying to show that he had no rights over her. On his wife.

As soon as they reached the mansion Amelia ran inside completely ignoring him but he refused to take her ignorance and ran behind her.

Entering her room Amelia went inside rubbing her face with her palms looking frustrated. Xander followed her in and closed the door looking at her.

"Amelia." He called her name making her look at him in anger.

"Do you have any idea what have you done Xander? He was already sick and brutally injured. Did you really had to do this?" Xander let out an irritated sigh removing his tie.

"I know I shouldn't have done it without asking you but that bastard was getting on my nerves. I tried but I couldn't hold myself back." Amelia looked away sighing heavily.

"Tomorrow this news will spread like fire. I am sure news channels will be fired up." She exclaimed completely irritated.

"Then that's good. We don't have to hide our marriage anymore." Amelia shot him a look of disbelief.

"You don't understand. Do you." She took few steps towards him.

"Liam isn't only injured physically but he's damaging himself mentally as well. He's guilty. Too much guilty for what he did to my brother and to me. His guilt isn't letting him move on. He's stuck on the same spot from where his mind isn't letting him move forward."

"And this desperation can turn his love into something else which I don't want it to. I wasn't taking care of Liam because I want to give him a chance or want to get back with him Xander. I want him to make his mind move on just like I have made mine. But you. You just have to ruin everything."

Xander stared at her for some seconds with his blank gaze. "Ruin Everything? I telling your ex-husband that your my wife is ruining everything. Our relation is ruining everything. Really."

Amelia's eyes widened at his words as she shook her head "I didn't mean that way, Xander. It's not about our relation or our marriage. It's about how this news will impact Liam's mental state." Xander scoffed.

"From what I am seeing Amelia. It's not only Liam who's not willing to move on it's you as well. And you're proving it by running behind him back again and again." Amelia was about to say something but got interrupted by the ringing of her phone.

Pulling the phone out of her coat's pocket she picked it up right away as it was from the hospital. "Hello. Yes. What. Yes yes, I am coming." Hanging up the call she was about to run out of room ignoring Xander.

But Xander wasn't having it. He pulled her back by her arm. "Who was it. What happened." Amelia shot him a glare.

"It was from the hospital. They said Liam had a panic attack and during the attack, he lost his balance and fell on the wooden table which resulted in ripping the stitches on his stomach apart. He had lost a lot of blood and they asked for my presence. See Xander I told you his mental state isn't stable but you just couldn't understand it."

Snatching her arm from his grip she ran towards her car. She was in so much hurry that she didn't notice Xander following her in his car.

Entering the hospital she met with the Doctor and was left stunned hearing that they are short of blood for Liam as his blood group was rare.

"What's his blood group." Amelia flinched jerking around only to find her husband standing there with a stoic face looking at the doctor and completely ignoring her presence.

"It's O negative Sir." Doctor replied.

"I am O negative you can take my blood." Amelia looked at him in surprise but he refused to spare her even one glance.

The doctor agreed right away and the nurse took him in. Amelia stared at his back while praying for Liam to be ok. She knew in some way she had hurt Xander. And how foolish she was that she didn't even notice that her ignorance was hurting him this bad.

She promised herself that as soon as she will get news of Liam being alright she will talk to Xander and will explain to him the reason for her continuous ignorance.

After sometime, Xander donated the blood and Liam successfully came out of danger. The doctor informed Amelia who looked at the way from where Xander had gone to give his blood.

"Doctor where is my. My h-husband." The doctor smiled at her.

"He left. After giving blood. He drank a glass of juice and felt better so he left. I thought he must have told you." Amelia awkwardly smiled at the Doctor nodding her head.

"Yeah, he did. I forgot. By the way when Liam will wake up." She questioned.

"We can't say anything but we are hoping for him to wake up in the next 12 hours. Let's see." She nodded and the doctor left.

Her mind again went to her husband. A small smile appeared on her lips remembering how even after showing his dislike towards Liam he still donated his blood just to save him.

She decided to meet him. She knew she will have to come back tomorrow again to meet Liam and explain everything. She didn't want to leave him alone in his most vulnerable time. Maybe Xander's confession might help him to move on.

Finally reaching the mansion she met with Alexander who ran towards her. "Angel you came I just finished my dinner. Dad also didn't eat today he was looking tired." Amelia smiled at him hiding her sadness.

"Yeah, he had a lot of work today. Let's go to your room hm." They both played for some time and finally, Alexander fell asleep. Amelia didn't eat anything and the same goes for Xander so she decided to bring food to his room.
