"So to save their relationship from Amy's evil clutch, I came back to city S and now I'm clarifying about the most unbelievable truth of my life to you all...
Now it's on all of you if you guys would forgive me or not. But one thing I can assure you both Lucy and Henry. I'll not let Amelia create any problems in your life. You both will live happily like you're doing now..
Even if that means that I've to stay away from you guys." At the end, Andrew's eyes were full of tears as he thought of the pain he had to suffer again if his friends disagreed to forgive him again.
Everyone was silent for a moment as they needed some time to digest all the truth in one day.
They too couldn't able to believe that their friend Amy who they thought of their own sister could do that to them.
Although Neil was aware of the truth from one year ago but still hearing it from Andrew, it pained him more than ever.
Reuben too was very much shocked to know this bitchy side of Amelia. It was paining him to even think that how much more Amy could fall low in her act just to get what she wanted. Veronica was rubbing his palm, trying to control his emotions...
Whereas Henry didn't know just what to say or how to react. Such a big blame was put on him but he was thankful to Lucinda who had proved him innocent without letting him know anything though they were not even near to being a couple then..
He tilted his head towards Lucinda and looked into her eyes lovingly. He intertwined their fingers together while Lucy gave him an assured smile.
Right that moment, something hit Henry like a bolt of fire!!
Frowning a little, he asked, "Lucy.. That day, when we were eating in our home and I told you about Amelia calling me. You suddenly got tensed and started asking me that if I would ever leave you or not..
Was it because of this? You were insecure about Amelia's dirty planning and plotting. You already knew what she was about to do with me that night, which is why you got scared, right?"
Lucinda reluctantly nodded her head and said, "Yes.. After that day, I always had a fear inside me…what if she come back and try to snatch you from me once again...
But now I don't fear her at all. I know how much we love each other and no force could separate our strong love strings…
Even yesterday in party, she tried to threaten me to leave you but I gave her a good reply about it. I showed Amy the actual place of her in our life. So don't worry, love. I don't have anymore insecurities in my heart regarding you."
Henry smiled at her which she returned with her own but they failed to notice that someone was utterly silent from the moment Andrew was done with his talking..
Mrs. Jones was burning in anger inside her heart and she didn't want anything at that time apart from slapping the shit out of her daughter.
And finally, she did so…
Getting up from the couch, she harshly pulled Amelia up from her seat and gave her a tight slap on her cheek.
Amelia didn't expect the slap to come so suddenly from her mother. So she was taken aback with the force that Mrs. Jones had put on the slap. She fell on the floor, hitting her arm lightly on the corner table.
But that was not the end of it. Mrs. Jones again pulled her up harshly and gave another tight slap on Amy's right cheek.
Blood started to ooze out from the corner of her lips along with fresh tears from her eyes.
Gripping her elbow harshly, she jerked Amy's body a little and shouted on her, "I didn't know that I've gave birth to such a despicable woman. I've never thought that my sweet little Amy would grow up to be an evil woman who would try to destroy other's life..
I'm feeling ashamed of myself that I'm your mother. From today onwards, I don't have any daughter with the name Amelia Jones. I just hate you.."
"Mom.." Amelia cried in front of her mother as she was too much hurt with whatever she had just said.
"Don't you dare call me Mom. I already have warned you. I only have one son Andrew and my daughter-in-law Lisa who will fulfil the loneliness of me not having a daughter." Mrs. Jones screamed at her.
Amelia then looked at her friends and begged, "Please guys. Forgive me for just once. You at least understand my situation. I love Henry, that's why I did those things."
Veronica sarcastically chuckled at her and said in disgust, "You call this love? Love doesn't mean to force yourself on Henry and later defame him..
If you would have really loved Henry then you'd be happy to see him with the person who brought colours into his life. You were nothing but just a selfish and overpossessive girl."
She then turned towards Andrew and scolded him, "And you my dear brother… Didn't you just promise us few hours ago that you'll never leave us again. Then how could again speak about going away from us?"
Veronica's anger alarm had already started ringing aloud. And everyone knew that it was not the time to trigger her wrath more if they didn't want to get burnt into her fire.
Reuben knew the process of cooling down his fiance's anger but he didn't do so. After all that Amelia really deserved this...
Whereas about Andrew, he would not stop her but join her in giving a good piece of mind to him.
"You know what, Andrew! I thought that you think of us as your own brothers. But I think, I was wrong about that. You never had treated us as your brothers. Because if you had, then you wouldn't have done that..."
