Chapter 155_ The phase 1
Jason placed the luggage into his car and turned back to Amelia and Aidan with a small smile..
“I can’t believe this is goodbye..”
“It’s goodbye just for now.. you have every right to live your life the way you want it” Amelia replied..
Jason turned to Aidan and ruffled his head a bit “I think I will miss you the most little man… Don’t trouble your mum okay?”
Aidan nodded, he was happy that Jason was finally leaving which means his real dad will come for his mum..
“Are you sure that you both will be okay?” Jason added to receive a nod..
“Aidan and I will be staying with my mum and dad for a while.. you have nothing to worry about..” Amelia assured..
Jason pulled in the two for a brief hug, he was really going to miss them… they were almost like his real family..
“Take care..” he murmured before going into his car..
Amelia and Aidan waved at the moving car till it vanished from their sights..
“Thank goodness that he is gone now” Aidan murmured..
“What was that?” Amelia asked..
Aidan shrugged and turned around walking into the hotel building….
.
Karl’s smiling face fell as soon as he saw Amelia walking into the living room with a boy, he stood up in surprise… he wasn’t expecting her to show up and that too in his house..
Amelia flashed him a small smile “Hi Karl.. long time no see”
Karl snapped out of his daze when she threw herself into his arms…
“Amelia… you…..
“I know you are mad at me.. you can hit me as much as you want after all you are my older brother” Amelia blabbed…
Karl held her shoulder back as he stared at her false tears..”You still haven’t changed” he jested and pulled her back into a tight embrace…
Aidan had a worried look on his face, just when he was happy that Jason was gone.. another mister appeared out of nowhere to steal his mummy..
Karl returned his gaze to the little boy who was glaring furiously at him… he felt a chilly feeling run down his spine.. no doubt he had the same chilly gaze as his father..
“Looks so much like his dad.. and by the way Amelia you’ve got a lot of explaining to do…”
Karl stopped a servant and pointed at their luggages “Prepare a room for them”
Amelia stared down at her feet, she just couldn’t pretend to forget what she did all those years ago to Karl and his mum…Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Karl… I’m really sorry for what happened all those years ago…
Karl placed a finger on her lips..”Forget about all that.. I once tried to kill you remember? so let’s say that we are even now”
“Karl!! where is my pizza?!!”
Karl and Amelia shuddered slightly as the voice reached their ears..
Karl pinched the space between his brows, who knew that having a pregnant wife like this would be so difficult?
“was that Clara?”
Karl nodded with a sigh, he had forgotten to place an order for the pizza she asked for..
Clara came out from her room rubbing her baby bump..
“You are such a monster Karl! I asked for a pizza and you couldn’t get it for me!” Clara lashed out irritably totally oblivious to Amelia’s presence..
“Honey It skipped my mind, I will place an order for one right now”
Clara squinted her eyes at him for a while to see if he was telling the truth..
“Fine! order one!” She yelled out irritably..
She turned to leave when she noticed a lady in the room, her eyes widened when she recognized her to be Amelia, Karl’s half sister..
Her eyes rounded in shock “Amelia?”
However Amelia’s eyes was fixed on Clara’s baby bump… Clara embraced Amelia warmly..
“Clara you and Karl are expecting?” Amelia asked to see Clara rubbing her bump..
“Yes we are..” Clara’s eyes fell on Aidan who was oddly quiet as if examining his new surroundings..
“Your son? he is Mr Grayson’s carbon copy.. I will be so upset if my baby eventually ended up looking like Karl” Clara said with a pout which Amelia found funny except for Karl..
“What why?”
Clara rolled her eyes “Well for starters.. I don’t want my baby to look like his irresponsible dad who couldn’t even give me what I needed the most”
“But the pizza is on its way”
Amelia chuckled moments like this reminded her of her endless bickering with Liam….
.
Amelia heard a knock on her window, she glanced at the time but it was already late.. and which normal person would want to come in through the window?..
She picked up the purple colored umbrella at the back of the door and held unto it firmly approaching the window in slow steps…
She swiped the curtain open and saw a figure leaning on the balcony, without wasting any more time she used the umbrella against whoever that was…
“Thief.. thief.. you dare try to break into my home? I will show you” She yelled using the umbrella on him.
The masked figure jumped into the room while Amelia chased him around with the umbrella hitting him at every chance she got..
“Stop it.. I’m not a thief” the voice came out breathless..
However Amelia wasn’t having any of it, she pulled off the mask and gasped in shock..
Liam groaned out loudly as he remained on the floor.. “I told you I wasn’t a thief”
“You?!”
She used the umbrella on him again “How dare you break into my home?”
Liam cursed silently as he helped himself from the floor, he staggered for a bit and collapsed on the bed..
Amelia dropped the umbrella and pushed her loose strands of hair behind her ears, she stared at his still body and panicked slightly…
“Did I kill him?”
A knock came on her door which startled her for a bit, she rushed to the door and was surprised to see Karl and Clara outside her room with a worried expression on their faces…
“Is everything alright in there?” Karl asked trying to peep into the room..
Amelia blocked his path smiling weirdly “What makes you think so? it’s so late why are you both here?” she inquired..
Clara squinted her eyes at Amelia “We clearly heard you screaming thief..”
Amelia itched her head and laughed out loudly “Thief? oh yeah my bad.. that was actually….. a play! yes a play.. I was rehearsing for it.. don’t mind me I’m so silly”
Karl sighed, he had thought that a thief had actually broken into his house so late at night but it turned out to be a false alarm..
“Okay if you say so… goodnight once again” Clara said with a yawn..
Amelia smiled at her “Goodnight”
She closed the door and walked towards the bed but Liam was not there anymore, she walked towards the window that was slightly opened…
“Where is he? did he leave?” She murmured to herself…
She closed the window and turned around only to crash into a hard body..
“Were you sad that I left?” his voice came out hoarse..
Amelia pushed him to the bed which earned another groan from him..
“Don’t you ever learn?” Amelia asked obviously irritated…
Liam remained still on the bed “Are you still trying to play dead? hahaha very funny” sarcasm evident in her tone.
Few minutes passed by and he wasn’t moving his body yet…
“Liam are you alright?”
An hour later
Amelia paced around in the hospital lobby, she hope he doesn’t die or else she would spend her life in jail… No one knew she was at the hospital apart from the male servants who helped her to sneak Liam out of the house to the car…
The door to his ward opened and the doctor stepped out with Liam..
The moment she saw Liam coming out her eyes rounded in shock…
