"Do I really have to attend this party?" Amelia asked pulling the spectacles away from her eyes and
looking at the old couple sitting in front of her.
"Yes, Amelia. This party will be beneficial for your business. You can meet new business persons and
maybe even get new shareholders." Amelia looked down thinking about the old man''s words.
"Amelia I know why are you hesitating." Amelia looked at the woman with a frown. Why would she
hesitate? She just wanted to spend time with her brother tonight.
"It''s because of Liam right. I know you both are divorced but it''s fine Amelia I mean after all Harry got
his justice and now you need to move on." Amelia''s frown faded away and irritation covered her
features.
This is the thing she hates the most about her ss women. They will never let the chance to irritate or
taunt others go. There was no need to mention Liam here but no. Why this woman even came here.
"Moreover I wanted to introduce you to my son. You remember Ryan right. He was sad for you and
Harry. I am so happy my poor boy got his justice and now I think you should try to move on as well. I
mean I heard Liam was having an affair after your divorce with his secretary. I think you should---"
"That''s enough Nina." Mr Simmons finally decided to stop his wife''s bullshit before it goes too far. He
could see how hurt Amelia was when she mentioned Liam''s affair right after their divorce.
Everyone was shocked after the revtion. People always envied Amelia and Liam''s love life. It wasn''t

a shock to know that they got divorce but the most petrifying news was his moving on this fast.
Mrs. Simmons looked down in embarrassment while Amelia stared at her nkly. She refused to give
this woman one ounce of satisfaction. She knew why was she bullshitting all of this.
Ryan Simmons. One of the famous yboy. He had a huge crush on Amelia when she used to study
with him in the same ss. He tried hitting on her many times but she told him that she''s already
engaged and except Liam she can''t even think of anyone else.
Ryan was heartbroken and also quite angry at her. She was the only girl he ever thought of starting a
real and serious rtionship with but after Amelia''s rejection, he wanted to prove to her that he''s a
better man than Liam can ever be.
He went overseas for higher studies and indeed he became one of the sessful businessmen but he
waste in her matter. Liam and Amelia already got married and he was again left heartbroken but
what Amelia liked about him was he never tried to interfere in her marriage. He epted her being
Liam''s silently.
Ryan also got engaged with someone but now she was confused. Wasn''t he supposed to marry his
fiance? Why Mrs Simmons seems this desperate to make her meet Ryan again when everything has
ended a long time ago.
"It''s fine Mr Simmons. I think you should know that Mrs. Simmons that what Liam do after our divorce is
none of my concern. He can do whatever he wishes I am no one toment on his life matters
anymore. So kindly do not discuss his matters with me. After all, you can see I am his Ex-wife. Not
someone you should gossip his life with."
This time Mrs Simmons looked away in embarrassment. Amelia was indeed right. Telling about her Ex-
husband''s affairs especially the one she loved so much is not something decent thing to do.
"Moreover I am going to this party for my business and only for my business. I have no wish to meet or
to get involve with anyone if it''s not for business. Mr. Simmons I would love to meet the people who
could help me build my business back. That''s why I will for suree tonight."
This brought a wide smile on Mr. Simmons lips as he nodded his head. They discussed the business
for an hour before they both left. Amelia always had treated Mr. Simmons like her second father as he
never left her side. He was the only shareholder of herpany who didn''t give up on thepany
and left her side.
While Mrs. Simmons has always hated Liam. She wanted to make Amelia her daughter inw. Amelia
isn''t only famous for her beauty but also well known for her higher studies. Amelia was a topper in her
time and her every degree contains a golden star.
This girl is a gem and Liam was a lucky man who got her. Not only her but her love. Soul and
everything as well. But life indeed takes unexpected turns.
After finishing her work she went to her apartment. She called Alexander and was surprised to hear
that he was going to meet his grandparents. She thought they don''t meet Xander or his son but Xander
cleared her misunderstanding that they don''t meet him but they are extremely in love with Alexander.
Amelia quite felt bad for Xander. She had no idea why they refused to meet Xander when they love Mia
and Xander''s creation. Only God knows what''s the truth behind all of this.
Amelia got ready after wearing a ck gown that reached her ankles. She tied her hair in a messy bun
before applying a little makeup. She was trying to find a matching ne when something fell on the
floor making her huff out in annoyance.
She crouched down and grabbed the fallen thing but everything stopped. As soon as she opened her
palm she felt a storm of memories hit her hard. It was a bracelet. Beautiful chained bracelet with a
diamond heart dangling in the middle.
She stood up steadily staring at the beautiful thing. She remembered this gift very well. It was the first
gift Liam gave her on their first month anniversary.
"I want to capture this memory in this beautiful heart because I want you to remember this night and my
words every time you will look at this bracelet."
Indeed she still remember that night like it happened yesterday. She loved and cherished this bracelet
for years but now she epted that indeed that memory is only a memory now.
Slowly sliding the bracelet back in the box where she ced everything Liam gave her. She wanted to
give these things back. She wanted to move on but how. That was the question she asked herself day
night. How. Just how.
She wanted to know how Liam moved so fast. She wanted to know the magic so she could move on as
well. She closed her eyes and again Mrs. Simmons taunts echoed in her mind.
Why Liam. Just why. Why did you make a joke of our love? How did you forget your Amelia so easily
how?
Opening her sad eyes she took a deep breath and finally found a matching ck ne before
sliding it around her neck.
She knew she''s going to face more mockings and taunts tonight. After all Liam had given them a hot
topic to discuss now. And she without having any fault also going to be a target of those free
gossip groups.
Telling herself to be strong for her father''spany. She finally went to her car and drove towards her
destination. She had visited Mr. Simmons house quiet times so it was easy for her to reach there.
She mentally groaned in annoyance when she witnessed a few cameramen and reporters in front of
the mansion. She motioned the guard to park her car after taking a deep breath she started walking
towards the hallway only to get attacked by the reporters.
Just like she expected every question was rted to her divorce and Harry''s case. Only one reporter
asked her about her purpose of attending the party. She did nothing except throwing them a small
smile and wishing them a good night.
Reporters sighed in disappointment when they found no interesting words from her that could use for
new highlights or headlines.
Entering the hallway she sighed in relief and in a second Mr. Simmons approached her weing her.
She met a few business partners before finally getting something to drink.
"Amelia." She closed her eyes for some time. She was highly irritated now. Putting on a fake smile she
turned around.
"Ryan. It''s been a long time." Ryan nodded before grabbing her hand and cing a soft kiss on the
back of her hand. She smiled at him pulling her hand back. Again he and his creepy staring habit.
"I see you didn''t change. Still staring like a creep." Ryan chuckled at her words before taking a ss of
wine from the waiter.
"What can I do. I can''t help it. Your looking beautiful as always. Who can say your same age as mine?
You look extremely young." She threw him an offended look.
"Hey what do you mean look young? I am just 27 for God sakes. I am young." This made himugh a
little. He found her irritated looks cute like always.
"Well let me clear you. Don''t try hitting on me. I am not interested." Ryan almost choked on his wine
after her words.
"Woah beautiful hold on. I know I used to behave obsessively over you but now I am a grown-ass man.
And I have a fiance already. And let me tell you, you may be beautiful Ms. Kale but she''s still prettier for
me."
Hearing his words brought a genuine smile to Amelia''s lips. She was relieved and also quite thankful
that he finally found someone better and moved on.
"I heard about your divorce." He said with a serious face making Amelia sigh as well. But again Ryan
did what he''s good in.
"See loss of not choosing me. Ha jokes on you." He said sipping the wine with a proud look. While
Amelia threw him a nasty re.
"Your such a bitch." She hissed in disappointment. She expected him tofort her but this man.
"My pleasure beautiful." He said yfully making her look away clearly annoyed by him.
She looked around and in a split moment, she felt like air knocked out of her lungs meeting those
stormy blue spheres staring straightly in her stunning grey ones.
She didn''t expect him to be here. But then she remembered Mr. Simmons is also a shareholder of
Xander''spany as well.
Her eyes slight expanded when Xander started strolling towards her with powerful steps without
breaking eye contact with her. In few seconds he was right in front of her.
"Mr. Storm. How are you." Ryan spoke up finally interrupting their staringpetition.
"I am doing well Mr Simmons. Please call me Xander." They both shook their hands as Ryan nodded
with a small smile.
"Call me Ryan Xander. Mr. Simmons is my father. I feel old." He said chuckling earning a small smile
from Xander. Amelia sucked on air when Xander''s icy gaze met hers.
"Hello I am Xander Storm." She stared at him with confused eyes but then realized no one knows they
are married. Stupid Amelia.
"Hello, Mr. Storm I am Amelia Kale." She shook her hand with his. She witnessed his eyes darken at
her words. She had no idea why he looked so intimidating all of a sudden.
"If Ms. Kale has no problem. Can I have an honour of a little dance with her?" Her tiny hand was still in
hisrge one as he didn''t let her go.
"Of course. Amelia you should get to know Mr. Storm more. I am going to my fiance. I all of a sudden
want to dance with her as well." Ryan eximed happily before turning to Amelia and whispering in her
ear.
"Don''t let this chance go. Mr. Storm can help you with yourpany. He can be a powerful shareholder
trust me." With that, he threw a wink at her and walked away.
"Xander I --"
"Shh. Let''s go." With that, he pulled her on the dancing floor before grabbing the juice ss from her
and cing it on the table.
Before she could protest he ced her one palm on his shoulder and grabbed her waist pulling her to
his chest. He extended his other hand and having no option she ced her hand in his straightening
her position.
She gasped a little when he squeezed her waist a little pulling her closer. Her hand automatically slid
from his shoulder down to his bicep to stop his pressure on her waist.
"Stop squeezing my waist, Xander." Xander looked at her with a frown.
"Why." He questioned nkly.
"Because. Because it tickles. I am ticklish." This earned a chuckle from him. Her ears turned beetroot
making her look adorable.
She looked away in embarrassment but again gasped a little when this time he pulled her waist closer
to his chest. Her grip on his bicep tightened as she started breathing heavily because of the close
proximity.
His breathing was now hitting her nose. The difference between their height wasn''t much. Amelia was
always known as a tall woman. She was 5.8ft while Xander was 6ft the same as Liam.
And her wearing heels almost covered the difference between them leaving only a 2ft distance. But
still, her tiny waist was enough to make her look small in his muscr arms.
"Look at me." She looked up meeting his eyes which never failed to intimidate her.
"Always look in these eyes when you talk to me Mrs. Storm." Her body stiffens a little hearing his
whisper. He leaned to her ear connecting their chests.
"I hate when you call yourself kale. You''re a storm now. My wife." She shivered in his arms at his raspy
whisper at the end.
"You''re looking beautiful Amelia. But do remember." He pulled back keeping his face extremely near
her knocking the air out of her lungs.
"Your Amelia Storm. Xander Storm''s wife."
This stopped her breathing. Because this time he called her his wife instead of Alexander''s mother.
