Chapter 25


    Amelia''s POV


    I groaned as I woke up with an headache. I don''t understand why I have such a headache. That''s when


    I remembered fromst night.


    Me getting back my memories. Xavier tried to kill me. His own mate. How could he do that? I am his


    mate.


    But the worst part, I still don''t see him as a monster. The past week, the person who I know, he was a


    different person. The man I always wanted him to be.


    I don''t know who is the real person. All of this just giving me a headache. I hear a knock and asked the


    persone in. It was Ang.


    She came in giving me a small smile. I return the smile back. "How are you feeling now?" she asked as


    she sat next to me.


    "Well I feel like I have been ran over a bulldozer. And don''t get me started on the headache." I said as


    she chuckled. She gave me some water as I gulped the water.


    "Why don''t you take a shower ande. We''ll talkter." she said as I nodded my head and went to


    take a shower. I have no idea what Ang is going to ask me.


    And am I able to answer them? I had so many thoughts. But I got rid of them and quickly showered and


    put on my white shorts, Baby blue tank top and grey hoodie.


    My hoodie smelt different. I shrugged it off and went to see Ang sitting in the same ce as just


    now. She smiled once she saw me.


    She stood up as I walked towards her. "You ready to talk about, everything?" she asked to make sure I


    was ready.


    I pondered on that thought. Am I ready? I don''t know really. But I got to do it sooner orter. The faster I


    get over it, the faster I can move on.


    I nodded my head at her. She smiled at me. "Lets go to Xavier''s office. Everyone is waiting there." The


    moment she mentioned Xavier''s name I tensed.


    "Hey its going to be ok. I promise." she said holding my hands. I just nodded my head. "Come on." she


    said tugging me. I followed her like a lost puppy.


    As we stand outside his office, his scent hits me, making me tense. The very scent that used to bring


    me so much happiness, scares me.


    With onest deep breathe, I entered following Ang. As I entered, everyone''s head turn to me.


    Including his.


    "Amelia." he whispered sending shivers down my spine that I barely heard it. I looked at everyone,


    offering a smile, except him. I tried to avoid eye contact with him.


    Truth be told, I was scared. I don''t know what am I supposed to expect, hate or love? So the best


    option I coulde up with is to avoid him.


    My mum, dad, Nathan, Noah, Avery and Jason was there along with him. I slowly made way to them as


    my mum pulled me into a hug.


    "How are you, honeybee." my mum asked making everyone chuckle. "I''m fine mama." I said giving


    everyone there an assuring smile. Except for him.


    "Why don''t we all take a seat and then you can tell us what happen?" Nathan suggested as I nodded


    my head. We all took a seat in the couch.


    Except for Xavier. He stood rooted to his spot. Everyone was looking at me, waiting for me to exin.


    But before I could tell, Nathan started to talk.


    "Before you can tell us what happened, let me tell you what we know." Nathan said and I nodded my


    head. Its better that way.


    "After that day you were kidnapped, we received a link to a live video. When we clicked that, the


    witches showed you, how bruised up you were.


    We immediately had people tracing you down. We saw everything, Amelia." Nathan said as he was


    almost on the verge of breaking.


    Ang helped to calm him. After taking a deep breathe, he calmed down. "After the man hit you, you


    weren''t breathing. We thought you died.


    When we finally came to the location, there were ashes. The witches imed it was you and we had no


    other choice than to believe." he said. I got confused.


    "What man? I thought it was," I paused hoping they would catch what I said. I saw Xavier body tense


    from the corner of my eyes.


    "It wasn''t Xavier. They had a spell on you, making you see the man as Xavier." Nathan said making my


    eyes go wide.


    I don''t understand. Why would they do that? What kind of sick minded people do that? I was still in


    shock. I don''t know what to say.


    I decided to tell what happened after that. "Xav- I mean the man didn''t hit me. The witches cast a spell


    making me unconscious.


    When I woke up I was beside a riverside with no memories of anything except for my name." I


    exined. They nodded their head.


    "Wait whose ashes were those then?" Avery asked. I had the same question. We all started thinking


    whose ashes those were.


    "It was the man''s" Xavier spoke. All of us nodded our head, as what he said made sense. We stayed


    quiet after that not knowing what to say.


    "Well, we should get going. Take care of yourself, princess." My dad said as the both of them stood up.


    I nodded my head and hugged the both of them as they left.


    Slowly everyone started to leave, after bidding me farewell. Now it was just Xavier and me in the room.


    My body was still cautious of him.


    I don''t know why, but the image got stuck in my head. His face, the face that tried to kill me. I know its


    not him, but I still can''t get rid of that image.


    I was so deep in my thoughts, I didn''t realise him taking cautious steps towards me. When I realised


    that, my body automatically stiffened.


    I don''t think he realised that as he continued to take slow steps. Once he was nearer, he crouched next


    to me. Slowly he took my hands into his.


    I flinched, without intending too. "Hey, its ok. I am not going to hurt you." he promised. I nodded my


    head. And slowly retreated my hand back.


    I saw the hurt in his eyes when I did this. But I just couldn''t take the image out of my head. I wished I


    could. But it just keeping back.


    "I am sorry. I just can''t get the image out of my head." I said honestly. "What do you mean?" he asked


    confused. He still managed to look cute. I got rid of that thought.


    "You killing me." I said slowly. His body stiffened when I said this. Before he could say, I spoke. "I know


    its not you. But that''s the image in my head." I said.


    He nodded his head in understanding. "There is nothing for you to be sorry about. Its not your fault. It


    was mine. It was all mine." He said abruptly standing up.


    "If I didn''t behave the way I did, if I just epted what I felt for you. If I didn''t tell those words, you


    wouldn''t have gone into the woods that day. You wouldn''t be kidnapped."


    He ran his fingers through his head frustrated. He came and sat next to me and took my hands. "To tell


    you the truth, I had feelings for you, little one."

    His confession made my eyes wide. "And I was scared of that. I build this wall around my heart not


    wanting to let anyone in.


    But you were easily breaking those wall, without even realising. And that scared me. After my dad and


    my mum left me, I thought eventually everyone will leave me.


    And I thought you would too." he said looking at me sadly. I wanted tofort him. But no words came


    out. I just stared at him.


    "I know you won''t forgive me. But-" "I forgive you." I said abruptly. His mouth was wide opened. "W-


    What?" he asked unbelievingly.


    "I forgive you long time ago for all of those. I was never angry at you to begin with." I said honestly. And


    I meant all of those.


    "How? Why?" he asked me still staring at me shocked. I just shrugged my shoulders. We became


    silent after that. I stood up to leave when he stopped me.


    "I meant all those words, before you got your memories. Every single words."
