Grabbing her arms he harshly pulled her closer. Amelia instantly held his biceps to keep a favourable distance between them.

"Answer me. Why didn't you tell me this? Why." He again questioned but Amelia's tongue seemed to tie up. She parted her lips but nothing came out.

"Answer me fucking answer me. It's killing me, Amelia. I beg you to answer me. Where is our child? Amelia please." Amelia gulped seeing him begging her.

Gently removing his hands from her arms she with her trembling legs took a seat on the sofa behind her. Liam did nothing except stare at her.

"Yes, I was pregnant." Liam stopped breathing for a second as soon as those words left her lips.

He took a step back in horror when she looked up only for her teary eyes to come in contact with his stunned ones.

"I came. I did come to tell you. But everything got messed up even before I could do so." One tear escaped her eyes remembering the day. She wiped it chuckling out in sadness.

"I got to know about my pregnancy the day Rose accused Harry. I wanted to tell you but everything just got messed up and I got no time to share this matter with you."

Liam was frozen in his place. He licked his lips staring at her as she continued her words.

"The matter wasn't just of few words that 'Liam I am pregnant' no. It was more than that. When the doctor told me about my pregnancy she suggested an abortion. She said that because of my past accident my body is still too weak to give birth. But I still wanted to give birth to our child so I begged her for a solution."

Liam slowly stumbled back and fell on the bed. His tongue got tied as no words were making out of his lips.

"You do remember I fell from stairs once when I was only 11. That incident was the reason why my body was still too weak. After my begging doctor told me that I need relax and peaceful environment. If I want to give birth to a healthy child and don't want to lose my baby then I have to take good care of my health. No tension. No stress. Only peace and relaxation. She even forbid me from doing any house chores or other work as my body was too weak to carry a life in me."

Her lips wobbled as she clutched the sofa material remembering that dreadful day. She let the tears stream down her eyes as she continued to remember the painful day of her life. The day she lost everything.

Flashback

The day Amelia came to Liam's mansion when they both got divorced. That day she wanted to tell him about the child.

She wanted him to know that all this stress and tension can put their child in danger and she can't afford it. She already had a terrible health error the night he called her nothing on call.

She wanted to give birth first to a healthy baby. She knew she has to be with her brother and she will be with him but she wanted Liam to lessen her worries so she could relax her mind a bit.

But everything went down when she witnessed him in the arms of another woman. And what left her more shattered was his no effort to stop her from divorcing or from leaving him.

He remained frozen on his spot but said nothing. No sorry. No apology. Nothing. That time she forgot about the purpose she came to him. She forgot about her pregnancy instead the only thing she could remember was his betrayal.

As soon as she exits the mansion. Somewhere in her heart, she wanted him to run after her. She wanted him to beg for her forgiveness. To cry for her. But nothing. He didn't come. He didn't even look back.

She walked in the street lifeless. She wanted to cry but no tears came out. All she felt was emptiness. She was beyond hurt to feel anything.

Suddenly a sharp pain hit her head along with her chest. She found hard to breathe. Using her trembling hands she held the wall of the side of the road and stood against it.

Her blurry gaze blinked multiple times so she could clear her view but nothing. The pain kept on increasing and all she could do was to hold herself from crying out.

A small yelp left from her lips feeling a sharp pain in her abdomen. And instantly she realized what was happening. Tears started streaming down her eyes rapidly.

"N-no." She whispered to herself and tried hard to walk.

"Hey, are you alright?" She heard a faint voice of a man but all she remembered was failing to hold her body up and letting it fall.

When she opened her eyes again. She found herself on a bed in a hospital room. It took her proper minutes to remember what happened. Realization soon drowned in her as she placed her palm on her stomach.

The doctor entered the room and smiled sadly at Amelia. She shook her head letting the tears once again embrace her cheeks.

"M-My baby." The doctor sighed heavily.

"I am sorry Ms Kale. I told you stress and tension can cause miscarriage and because of excessive tension your body couldn't take the stress and because of weakness, you miscarried. I am sorry."

Amelia shook her head bursting out in heavy tears. She wailed out making the doctor soothingly held her shoulder.

At the time she needed someone the most but all she got was no one at her comfort. She spent all day alone in her misery. Even Harry didn't know about her miscarriage because at that time he was in jail and Amelia was trying for bail.

Flashback End.

"I wanted to tell you. I blamed you in the start after losing our child. I wanted to hurt you so badly. Trust me I cried every night cursing you and your sister. But with time I understood that it was no one's fault. Seeing you and Rose getting worst than what I cursed for you to have. I realized that I don't have to hurt you more. The guilt and regret were enough to punish you."

Till now Liam was crying too. He was sitting on the bed with his face soaked with his tears. He was hearing her every word and all he could feel was pain and pain.
