"I want you to find everything about Rose Stone and Harry kale case. Don't skip even one bit of information. Get it." The man nodded and went out while Xander sighed leaning his back on the seat.
It's been a week when he got married to Amelia. And he was beyond grateful for making that decision. Amelia proved herself again and again by caring about Alex like a mother.
But what worries him was her continuous getting weaker because of all the tension. She was trying to find even a minor evidence that could help to make Harry's case in her favour but nothing. She was helpless.
Xander knew she asked him to not intervene in this matter but he was done watching her fighting on her own. So he finally decided to step in after listening to the lawyer that the chances of winning this case are none.
He wanted the best for the woman who did so much for his son. Harry's condition wasn't getting better either. He was making no progress which was breaking Amelia even more.
After a few days, Xander's private investigator came with as much as information he could get.
"Sir, from the information it was obvious that Mr. kale has always been loyal to his fiance Kelly. His relation with Ms. Stone was like friends. It was confirmed from some of Mr. Kale's school friends that Ms. Stone once confessed her love to Mr. Kale but he refused her proposal and tried convincing her to move on which Ms. Stone did."
Xander frowned before nodding to the man motioning him to continue. "Ms. Stone never had any romantic relationship with anyone. But it seems like she started distancing herself from Mr. Kale when he got engaged with his ex-fiance Ms. kelly."
"There was nothing much I could find but I found this." He placed a file in front of Xander which he instantly opened up.
"This film proves that Ms. Stone called Mr. Kale that night at her house the night he was accused of assaulting her. And also I found this message it says that Ms. Stone was depressed when she called Mr. Kale."
Xander read the file before sighing heavily. "Any camera or something which could exactly show what happened that night." The man sighed shaking his head in denial.
"I tried my best Mr. Storm but I couldn't find any more proofs." Xander again examined the file and then his eyes fell on one message sent by Rose to Harry. And the message was quite creepy.
"I know in your eyes I am still a kid. A little girl who can't match your expectations but I swear love just one chance and I can prove that I can be a woman for you." Xander sighed heavily after reading the message. It was clear that they can use the message but that thing still doesn't justify him assaulting Rose.
"Damn she's obsessed with him." The man nodded his head agreeing with him.
"It's obvious sir Mr. Kale doesn't seem to be wrong. It's like he was indeed set up by her." Xander slammed the file on the table before scrunching his nose in disgust.
"That's why I hate these women. All they know is how to get what they want. Selfish and deceivers." Xander seethed out making the man sighed heavily.
"I want Rose Stone address. I know how to end this shit." The man nodded before pulling Rose's information out and settling it on the table which Xander took it right away.
After reading the file he went out of the office heading to his destination. This is his last hope. He knew tomorrow's trial will finally decide the fate of Harry. It was almost Do or Die situation for him.
He had no idea why he was doing this but he wanted to help the woman who did so much for his son. After so many years his son finally has started to smile, laugh and behaving like a normal kid.
And it was all because of her.
Finally reaching the destination he knocked at the door. And finally, a petite woman with a pale and tired face came out. She looked at him with a confused gaze.
"Can I help you?" She asked him with her weak voice.
"I want to meet Rose Stone." She stared at him for some seconds before nodding her head.
"I am Rose. What can I help you with." She questioned staring at him in confusion.
Xander was shook after the revelation. She is the woman who did that vile act. How can so innocent looking woman do something like this? She looked too much fragile for someone who could do something so vicious.
"Can I come in?" She hesitated but finally let him in. He motioned his bodyguards to stay out.
She offered him to have something but he replied with nothing. He stared at the apartment. It was hard to believe that one of the famous billionaire's sister was living in this small contracted and deserted apartment.
"What you want to talk about." He turned around staring at her with disgust.
"Don't you want to know how Harry Kale is doing?" Her eyes suddenly widened hearing that particular name. Xander chuckled at her horrified face.
"What happened. Are you afraid of finding something which might increase your guilt than it already is now?" She looked down as she couldn't look up anymore.
"Love is weird. It makes a man to do the things he never thought of ever doing. Love doesn't teach deceiving acts. Evil thoughts and harmful games. Is this what you call love that you have for Harry. The man who treated you with only respect you destroyed his character. Is this love, Rose."
He witnessed her taking a sharp breath as her knees wobble. Tears started streaming down her eyes. "Please s-stop. I am already dying second by second. I--"
"Oh no, you don't have to die. You have succeeded in ruining your so-called love. His fiance broke the marriage already believing your accusations. You should celebrate Rose. You should throw a party now."
She shook her head letting out few sobs. He chuckled. "Pathetic. Aren't you. Victimizing your lying self."
He walked near her before grabbing her chin in a gentle grip. "You want to know where Harry is. He's reaping for what he never sow. He's dying Rose. Your love is dying." Her eyes widened when she heard is words.
"Harry tried committing suicide. Don't tell me your brother didn't tell you anything after all he wasn't letting you attend any trial." She stepped with wide eyes shaking her head.
"H-Harry no. Your lying right. SAY THAT YOUR LYING." She grabbed his collar roughly shaking him but it did not affect him as he stood there like a rock.
"Say that it's not true I beg you please." He grabbed her wrists roughly before jerking her towards him.
"It's true Rose you succeeded in that famous line 'If he can't be mine he will be no ones' Doctors have already given up on him saying that he don't want to wake up. And soon his remaining alive system might give up as well. Congratulations your obsession won."
She shook her head falling on her knees as Xander let her go as well. "N-No please don't. I can't take this. I c-can't."
She cried harder clutching her head. Xander sighed before sitting in front of her.
"Tomorrow is the last trial and eventually your obstinacy and obsession will win. But remember one thing, Rose." He gently pulled her chin up making eye contact with her puffy bloodshot eyes.
"Love is the meaning to let your guards down and give up anything for the one you love. What you have isn't love. It's an unhealthy Obsession which eventually succeeded in destroying the one you exclaim to love."
With that, he walked out of the apartment leaving the girl to cry out in her misery. If Harry was dying every minute it was killing Rose as well. For almost a year she kept her mouth shut because of her fears.
But now she was ready. She was ready to face what she caused. Because she knew once she opened her mouth she will lost everything. Everything.
