Chapter 156: Meeting Amelia Again.

Alexandra's gaze was fixed on me for a while before a sigh escaped her lips, "Because I don't want you to suffer because of their greediness. You don't know, but you have a soft spot in my heart and I can't see you suffer. That is the reason I want you to come clean. Even if you don't tell me. It's fine, but be careful when you show your powers. That was the reason I tried very hard to be your instructor in the facility. I will let no one touch you."

My steps came to a halt as I focused on her. Her words stunned and moved me. Is she still thinking about me? But what about the forces?

"What happened?" She waved her hand in front of me.

My body quivered for a moment. "What about the forces?"

Her brows furrowed. "What about them?"

"What about your loyalty towards forces? If something were to happen to me, what would you do?" I asked her as I observed her reaction.

Her brows relaxed when she heard my words, "Don't think too much. Even though I spent my life around the forces but my whole life, I pursued Power. That was the reason I searched for everything about that person. I wanted to get free from these shackles." A smile formed on her face as she patted my cheeks.

I fixed my gaze on her for a while before nodding. "I don't think I would be having these many people in my life who would care about me."

She smiled as she stared ahead, "Don't you think life is very peculiar. We don't know about the future. But our thirst and interest drive us towards our goal. In the journey, you would encounter many people, but a few could move you. My life was like this. I grew up watching people pursuing power and my ambition grew. I wanted to reach the apex but during my journey, I learned many things, met many people. I was so busy that I forgot that I was also a human and humans have desires. Until you came into my life. Even though when you appeared, I just considered you as an object that would be useful to Forces. Since I was in charge of the facility, it was my duty to give them potential candidates." She sighed and looked at me.

"Leave it. Things will get more complicated." Her eyes drooped down.

"What complications?" My brows were raised when I heard her words.

She looked up in the sky, "There are many things but," she shook her head and looked at me.

"Leave it. But you have to take care of Tanya. Even though she is very strong from the outside, she is very fragile. I have read her history, and she has many emotional scars in her life. Don't disappoint her and you even have Olivia in your life. She is a good girl but a little naïve, you have to care about her feelings." She stopped while her eyes stared at me.

"And I also know about Isabella. Even though she said nothing to me but I know her. I don't know what she has done to you to be upset with her, but she is a pitiful girl, spending all of her life in the forces, just like Tanya. But she has a family to take care of. I hope you would give her a chance."

I smirked, "What about you?"

She was stunned when she heard my words, but she shook her head. "What about me? I don't know and I am too old to think about it. Anyway, I think we should go back." She swiftly diverted the topic.

My eyes stared at her for a while before I nodded and went back to the hotel.

As soon as we returned to the hotel. Alexandra went to her room, lost in her thoughts. Many thoughts swirled before I sighed and entered my room.

Tanya was still sleeping soundly, her eyes fluttered continuously as if she is lost in a dream. A smile formed on my face when I looked at her.

I sat on the bed while my gaze was fixed on her. Unconsciously, my hands caressed her face before I kissed her forehead.

I lied on the bed while my eyes stared at the ceiling. Too many things have changed in my life. Many unexpected things happened and I am here now. Now there are many people in my life whom I cannot leave alone. They need me and I need them as well. 

Thinking about the people, Amelia's image flashed in my mind. Even though she didn't reciprocate my feelings, she has helped me a lot and I still remember the promise I made to her. At least I would repay her debt. Since I know about Adrian, I should inform her. 

But calling her in the room would alert both Tanya and Alexandra. They both are strong women and I don't want to expose anything about the village currently.

I stood up and left the room. As soon as I left the room, my gaze scanned the hall before I left the Hotel again.

As soon as I stepped into the lobby, the man sitting at the desk woke up again. His eyes fixated on me as he asked confusedly,

"You are going out again?"

I nodded and smiled. "I am still not feeling sleepy and thought of taking the walk alone. To be honest, I have never visited a place as good as this."

The man's brows were raised when he heard my words, but then he nodded, "It's true. This place is Divine. No place in this world could compare to this. But you have to be careful. These mountains are Dangerous,"

I nodded when I heard his words; I think he doesn't know about me. 

After taking a last look at him, I left the hotel. Soon after, I stood alone in the silent road. The chirps and noise insects reached my ears as I closed my eyes and called out to Amelia.

I stood there for a while, but there was no movement. Doubts raised in my heart. Is Amelia angry at me? But what if she is angry? But suddenly, everything became silent, and a voice reached my ears.

"You called me?"

I turned around to see Amelia in her primitive clothing, standing at a distance. But it surprised me to see had a haggard look on her face. What happened to her? Was she thinking about me? Did her heart change? 

But instead of asking about that, I nodded and said, "Yes, I called you."

She stood at her place while her eyes were fixed on me. Many complicated emotions appeared on her face when she heard my words, "What happened?"

"I have news about Adrian," I replied without even wasting a second.

And as soon as she heard me, her eyes went wide, and she was rooted to the spot. Suddenly, she disappeared and appeared in front of me, and grabbed my shoulders. 

"What news? Is he still alive?" She asked loudly. I could feel the excitement in her voice. I laughed mockingly in my heart. What was I thinking?

My lips curled and shook my head and freed myself from her grasp.

"You don't have to be too excited. Yes, he is still alive and living happily," I replied while my eyes were fixed on her.

Tears started streaming down her face as she heaved heavily, "How is he?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. But I know that now is he working for the forces and is one of their trump card against fighting the outside world."

I stopped and looked at her. A smile formed on her face while she wiped the tears from her hands. She looked at me and asked excitedly, "And?"

"And what do you want to know?" I asked and moved backed away. Even though I want to deny it. But a hint of jealousy rose in my heart. Why is she concerned about that man? Didn't she realize that he was fooling her all the time? He wanted to go out and explore the world. Can't she see? Is she blind? But I sighed in my heart. Who am I to question this? I hardly spent some time with her, compared to him, who grew up with her. It's obvious that she is worried about him. I can't expect the same thing from everyone I like. They have their own life and I have to respect that. Sometimes I feel that I am too petty to think about these things. Not everyone would become part of my life. Life is a journey. Many people would come and go. Only a few would stay with us. 

Suddenly, I felt as if a tremendous burden lifted off my heart. Suddenly, she shook and asked me again, "Any more news about him?"

My thoughts returned, and I looked at her and nodded. "Yes, he is married and has two wives and kids. That's what I know about him."

She froze when she heard my words, "What did you say?"
