Ex-Wife novel Chapter 15

Author Pov

"How could you Xander. How could you do this? I trusted you more than myself and you. How Xander how." The girl said crying. She palmed her face trying to believe that her most trusted person did this.

Xander stood there stared at her not knowing what to say or do. He gulped before trying to touch her but instead, she pushed his hand away and stepped back.

"M-Mia listen to me. I am sor--" Mia looked at him with sadness all over her gaze.

"What. What will you explain Xander? I never thought you can stoop this low. I trusted you, Xander. I trusted you." She said crying letting tears fell from her green eyes. The same eyes he loves the most but now he's the reason behind their sadness.

He again tried grabbing her arms but she stepped back shrugging his touch away. Xander's eyes started getting teary when she shot him a disgusted look making him visibly flinch with how much hatred she looked at him.

"I am sorry Mia. I don't know what happened to me. I am sorry I am so so sorry. I swear I will make everything right." She chuckled sadly before sitting on the sofa lifelessly.

"There is nothing you can make right now Xander. You destroyed everything. I will never forgive you for this Xander. Never." Xander's tears started falling when she refused to even look at him.

"Get out. Never show me your face again." She mumbled hurting him even more. He tried to say something but flinched away.

"I SAID GET OUT."

Xander shot up from his sleep sitting up on the bed breathing heavily. He looked around before closing his eyes taking deep breaths.

That nightmare will never leave him. That one mistake will always follow him like a shadow. How could he? Why did he become selfish? Why didn't he stop himself that night? Why.

He let his back meet the bed's headboard as he gulped the glass of water down his dry throat. He closed his eyes but then.

"I forgive you, Xander."

His eyes once again shot up as he stared at the wall blankly. No matter how much he tried to convince himself that he already had redeemed his mistake but the relaxation he never gets.

Peace was nowhere. Will things be different if he didn't make that mistake. Will she be with him. Right beside him holding him in her warm embrace just like she used to.

She was the only person who made him believe that there is indeed a little peace in his life. She was the only source of comfort in his life then why did he break her like that. She was his happiness then why did he snatch hers. Why.

He used to the thought that it's her forgiveness that he wanted the most but no. It was her. Only her. He wanted her. Her presence near him but he didn't even realize that he lost her. And in the way that she will never come back no matter how much he tries to find her this time.

"I am sorry Mia. I wish I could bring that time back. I am sorry." He whispered to no one.

Meanwhile

"Liam"

Amelia whispered making the guy look up and instantly her beautiful grey eyes met his forest ones.

"What are you doing here." She questioned with a hard tone. There was nothing for this guy to roam around her now then why is he here then.

Liam weirdly smiled at her and took a step forward only to stumble badly. Amelia instantly moved towards him making his body collapse in her arms. Her face scrunched up in disgust.

"You drunk Liam." She exclaimed in annoyance as he threw his whole weight on her.

She sighed dragging him inside. How much she wanted to throw him outside and walk inside without caring about him but God knows why did he make her this kind-hearted.

"Uff Liam get yourself together. Your so heavy." She cursed under her breath calling him multiple names only to gain few giggles from him. He was indeed heavily drunk.

"Ah." She yelped out being slammed against the door making it shut close. His weight eventually overpowered her making her collide with the door and his body as he pressed his body against her pinning her to the door.

She opened her eyes only to find him staring at her with longing holding in her beautiful eyes. He controlled his heavily drunk body by placing his hands on the door beside her head.

She was trapped between his arms. His bloodshot sorrowful eyes met her as they both said nothing except to stare into each other's eyes.

"Amy." He whispered near her lips making her heart jump in her chest. How much she wished the circumstances would be different.

How much she wished to still be Mrs. Liam Stone but no. She's now Mrs. Xander Storm and she can't change the reality. The reality of her being Xander's not Liam's.

She slowly placed her arms between them when Liam tried to lean more closer. He leaned to her face making her turn her face away from him.

"Liam let go of me." She whispered making him close his eyes as tears started leaving his eyes. She was so close to him yet so far.

He sniffed colliding his nose with her pale cheek. His tears met with her skin squeezing her heart painfully.

"I can't do this Amy. I am d-dying. P-Please, forgive me." She closed her teary eyes hearing his cracked pained voice.

Getting no answer from her he sobbed placing his lips on her cheek making her press her head against the door. His heart was bleeding witnessing her getting away from his touch.

"Don't p-push me away like this Amy. It's k-killing me." He sobbed out finally making her tears trail down her eyes.

He slowly dug his head in her crook. She clenched her fists feeling his tears falling on her skin. He was about to kiss her flesh but then.

"ENOUGH." She harshly pushed his chest away making him stumble back. He hardly controlled his body from falling on the floor.

Her teary bloodshot eyes met his as she looked at him with hurt evident in her gaze.

"What do you think Liam that after all the things you will come back and cry for forgiveness and we will be like before. You need to see the truth, Liam. We are divorced. I am not your wife that you can touch whenever you want. I don't want those hands. Those hands that chea--."

She stopped letting a cracked sob out of her throat. Liam's hands started trembling while his knees gave landing him on the floor. She was looking so broken and it broke him even more.

What have I done? This was a question roaming in his mind again and again. Amelia let out few sobs before staring at his kneeling figure. Tears were trailing down his eyes as well.

She tiredly slid down the door before sitting on the floor facing him. They both sat there in silence for God knows how long. Their silence showed their painful truth. 

The truth that they indeed were so close yet so far.

"I ruined us didn't I." He whispered making her stare at him blankly. He heaved his head up making eye contact with her emotionless gaze.

He nodded his head repeatedly when he received no reaction from her. Her blank yet pained eyes made him more ashamed than he already was.

Standing up with his wobbly legs he walked towards her sitting figure. Kneeling in front of her he placed his trembling palm on her cheek as again tears once again started forming in his eyes.

"Then I promise I will be the one to heal us as well. I promise."
