Harry straighten his tie and grabbed his coat walking out of the room. He wanted to reach the company as today was the important meeting fixed by Stroke Enterprises. He knew they will say yes and to his surprise, the designer agreed faster than he thought.

As soon as he reached the kitchen he sighed watching his sister making something for him. This woman. He thought shaking his head.

"How many do I have to you to not leave your house and come here just to make me food." Amelia chuckled shaking her head.

"My Lil prince no matter how many times you ask me to not I will still come to prepare food for you." He groaned sitting on the chair facing her as she placed a tray full of his favourite breakfast on the table.

"God stop calling me with that name already I am a grown-ass man now." She shrugged off telling him that his words don't affect her.

"I got some food from my house as well and frozen them in your refrigerator. You can heat the food and eat it. I will come again after three days to make you more. Ok, my Lil prince." She said patting his head.

This time Harry did nothing except stare at his sister with loving eyes. The woman still treats him like a baby. Preparing food for him. Dry cleaning and doing his laundry. Even sometimes spending days with him so he wouldn't feel lonely.

How much he wished for his sister's attention would be enough for him to be happy again. But it wasn't enough for his loneliness to fade away. Even though for some time he feels contented because of his sister and her children but it was still never enough for him.

His smile widened when he watched those Lil devils running towards him. He picked both of them up kissing their cheeks as they giggled.

"Uncle Harry we missed you." He smiled at the twin sister and brother who had the same eyes as their father and mother.

"Seb my boy how's school going and Lily my cupcake did you went to the dance class today." The girl nodded as her beautiful blue eyes shined with excitement. While the boy with electric grey eyes made a sulking face.

"It was so boring."

"I had so much fun." 

Both twins said at the same time making Harry giggle but the duo only glared at each other. 

Amelia had twins. Both Xander and Amelia didn't know till her 6th month which was indeed a surprise for them. They thought that the twins might be of the same gender.

Even Xander panicked as he was concerned about Amelia's health. She was already weak and the new surprise left him more concerned. He did everything in his hands to not let her have any tension.

But still, fate played them good and after Amelia's successfully delivery with healthy twins doctor said that she couldn't be able to conceive again as the delivery had left a huge impact on her abdomen.

Xander didn't mind even though Amelia cried because of the news. But he assured her that for him her being safe and healthy was enough which indeed warmed up her heart. And with time she accepts it and lived happily with her family. 

Because according to Xander they were a complete family. They don't need more to it. 

Xander named the girl Liliana. Because for him his little princess is like a beautiful lily flower. And Amelia always loved the name Sebastian as she used to read a lot of romance novels. So she gave his son the name of her favourite male lead of one of her favourite novels.

"Harry Uncle." Harry put the twins on their feet and smiled at the young man who walked towards him.

"Alex how are you, Lil guy," Harry questioned ruffling his hair who graned in annoyance.

"Come on Uncle stop calling me that." He said brushing his hair back.

Amelia shook her head muttering under her breath. "Like uncle Like nephew." 

"Alex" Amelia called him making him approach her as he smiled at her.

"Yes angel" 

"Where is your dad. Didn't he come to pick me up?" Alex sighed shaking his head.

"No angel he said he had an important meeting so he sent us with the driver." Amelia clenched her jaw.

"That irresponsible hulk. He's gonna get it from me. How dare he ditch me and left you and the kids with only driver. That be a new one. He's gonna sleep in the guest room tonight." She said angrily as Alex pressed his lips together not wanting to burst out laughing.

"You little snitch. How dare you lie to your angel." Amelia turned and sighed in relief watching her husband throwing glares at his son who innocently smiled at him.

"Sorry, dad it's fun when she scolds you but damn you came before she could call you." He said with a disappointing frown.

He yelped out when a light smack landed on the back of his head making him whin like a baby. Amelia glared at him.

"How many times I have to tell you to not make fun of your father Lil guy." He whined hearing the nickname but one glare from her and he shut his lips.

"God, you guys are so annoying. Just leave my house and go back to your circus, you jokers." Harry said making all of them glared at him. Even Seb and Lily glared at him even though they didn't know what he meant but they still copied their big bro's actions.

"Ungrateful brat," Xander muttered which Amelia agreed to make him sigh but he couldn't help but smile a little as indeed their presence lessens his pain.

Meanwhile

Rose dried her hair and wore a decent dress that she bought yesterday. She wasn't planning to buy a new dress but the CEO ordered her to buy something new for the meeting and also gave her a company card.

But Rose refused it and bought the new dress with her own money. It was a simple coat style short frock which reached below her knees as she stared at herself in the mirror.



(Rose Dress. If you don't like it imagine yours.)

Even though she prepared the presentation having almost no sleep but still the dress didn't fail to give her a beautiful look. Sighing she grabbed her silky locks before tying them up in a high tight ponytail.

she just applied a little bit of lip gloss and a bit of a blush as she doesn't like to use anything on her eyes. She never trusted herself when it came to crying. God knows when her senses and control gives up and the traitor tears took their chance to touch her cheeks.

Walking towards the kitchen she sighed heavily watching nothing special to eat. She forgot to buy the grocery. She was supposed to buy it yesterday but in all the tension and presentation mess she forgot to buy it on her way home.

She grabbed a pack of biscuits and filled a glass with milk. She ate the biscuits and drank the milk before walking out of her silent world.

This is what her life has become. For the past years continuously eating and living lonely she had got used to eating bland food. And wearing cheap clothes. 

Rose was never a girl who would like expensive stuff but still, she used to buy clothes from brands and eat food to her fullest. But the time has destroyed her appetite and her concern about wearing clothes.

In short, she has lost herself a long time ago.

Walking towards the bus she clutched the laptop bag tightly along with the file. It was hard to even think of facing the man she destroyed years ago but now she had given up on trying to run away. 

Who knows the way she had changed so much mainly her appearance in these years maybe he wouldn't be able to recognize her. And it kind of saddens her but at the same time makes her happy. 

He shouldn't remember the worst part of his life.

She let out a huge sigh watching the huge company along with the billboard beside. Harry's picture was printed and there was written. Kale's Textiles.

How funny it is. Living in the same country in the same city for years still, they never came face to face. More likely she never let him see her ever. She avoided going to any business parties. She avoided making presentations internationally so no one would be able to know that she's alive.

She once even refused the chance to be interviewed for getting nominated for the best designer but she couldn't win as she refused to cooperate with every offer that she got from higher companies. 

Fear. That was the only emotion that stopped her all these years to make her name wider.

Guilt. That was the sole reason she told herself that she doesn't deserve to have so much after all the damage she has caused the people she claimed to love years ago.

But for how long. Finally making her mind she decided to stop the hiding game and accept that now it's indeed a time to stop running from him.

She got startled when her CEO approached her with a smile and asked her to be ready for presentation.

Nodding her head she walked inside the meeting room with trembling legs. Clutching the files she entered the room but unconsciously sighed out when Harry's seat was empty. She almost sighed in relief thinking that he might not come. But.

"Mr. Kale Good morning." Her system froze as she heard his name and instantly the room temperature turned cold. Ice cold.

His aura indeed had changed so much. She could feel people greeting him as he marched with a powerful walk reaching his seat. Her eyes started getting teary but no. She refused to shed a tear. She can't turn weak all of a sudden.

"Mr. Kale meet Rosaline our designer she will present the designs." Rose didn't look up but she could feel a dark gaze freezing on her figure.

As soon as Harry looked at the petite girl standing near the door his breath stopped. His jaw clenched and his hands clutched the giant table. The look of his eyes was darker than the darkness itself. 

It was her. The girl he hates with his everything.
