Chapter Twenty Six
Even though I was so tired and sleepy I was finding it so hard to sleep. It wasn't because I was uncomfortable, for God's grace I had changed everything in our bedroom.
Anything that smelled like Rebecca, I removed it and some point thought I was mad especially when I was throwing out all the bathroom staff, I suspected her to have used.

But still I was finding it hard to sleep, I turned to Gale and he was already fast asleep. It was now when I started begging sleep to come to me but still no reply.
I sat up with a sigh and got off bed, there was no use in trying so why not think of something else at the moment.
I moved out of the bedroom to the kitchen, maybe something to drink would help. I looked towards the wine cellar, and then down at my feet.  I had never drank wine before but now I felt the need for it.
With everything going on through my mind, I wanted to forget just for a moment but I wasn't sure drinking would do me any help after all it will just bring it all back plus a hang over.
I continued to the kitchen, a glass of water will do. As I got the glass under the sink I had a phone vibrate from the living room, I paused and then frowned. That sounded like Gale's phone.
I thought he had it with him, I placed the glass on the surface and walked towards back to the living room. My eyes quickly searched around the place and it was on the couch we were sitting earlier.

It was still lighting up with the current call and I quickly moved to it, taking it my grip. I froze once again when the word Mom appeared on the screen.
The call ended right after and I was about to sigh out loud but stopped when the phone started ringing again. My breath stuck in my throat and I shuddered internally, Am not sure how my hands started shaking but they did.
I didn't know what to do, should I tell Gale or place the phone back where it was. But my fingers had a mind of there own, some how I tapped the screen and took the call.
For sure it was an accident, but there was no return.

"I heard you were leaving the country " A soft elegant voice came through from the other end and I felt like my heart jumped to my throat.
With a shaking hand I brought the phone to my ear, " Aren't you going to say anything " there it was again, that commanding voice that made me feel small.
"His sleeping " I did how I got the nerve to reply but I just did and am glad my voice didn't shake at all though it was small.
There was a long silence from the other end but I could still hear the deep breathing, anger could be smelled right from the other side of the phone.
"Amelia Rose, the girl that bewitched my son " I heard that voice once again laced with bitterness and it almost chocked me up.
I kept silent not knowing what to  reply
"What exactly do you want from my son ?" Mrs Hilton asked again.
I heard silent footsteps and lifted my eyes towards that direction, I saw Gale standing by the entrance of our bed room with his arms folded around his chest. His gaze fixed on me as I quietly held the phone to my ear.
"I want nothing " I whispered to Mrs Hilton and am sure Gale heard me.
" Amelia stop joking around, You're an orphan though you have some achievements they can't be enough but if..  you leave my son I will offer you more and make you one of the top lawyers in the country. I will give you a blank check and a house in one of the best villas in town and more "
I listened attentively to what she heard to say, with every word Gale took a step closer until he was standing right in front of me.  I lifted my gaze up to him and my lips stretched in a smile, seeing him here gave me confidence to fight for what we had. Am no longer giving up on this mine and I will fight to the end.
" Being Gale's mom you should be fighting for his happiness not trying to take it away from him and maybe that would help repair your relationship with him " I said softly my eyes still locked with Gale's " Your son loves me and I love him so much to let go "
I heard the silence from the other end and somehow it gave me urge to continue. I reached my hand out and touched Gale's cheek and he leaned in, his hand covering my small one.
"My love for Gale is not for sale, it can never be bought with anything in this world, I know am an orphan and am not worthy of him according to you but still he chose me " I added, Gale leaned forward and placed a kiss on my forehead. His arms wrapped around my waist and I smiled once again.
"Am sorry Mrs Hilton, I had almost lost your son today and am not willing to lose him again " With that I pulled the phone off my ear and held it towards Gale.
He took it from me and looked down at it for a while before hanging up, I again lifted my gaze to him and he smiled down at me.
He lowered his face to mine and feathery placed a soft kiss on my lips, a shiver ran down my spine and I threw my arms around his neck.
A shiver rushed down my spine and the butterflies in my stomach started celebrating, I moved closer to him as if our bodies could be stitched together.
My heart thudded harder in my chest as our tongues entwined, I feel home.
Soon our movements became intense and I started to feel breathless, Gale pulled away and placed his forehead on mine.
His eyes flew open and he looked down at me in a way that made me feel like am the most beautiful woman on thus earth. " Thank you " he whispered, his voice deep and husky.
I looked at him in confusion not understanding what exactly he meant, he smiled and then pecked my lips " Thank you for deciding to fight for me, for finally facing my mom " he added and I shook my head.
I wanted to tell him not to thank me at all, I was willing to do more just for him but it seems he had more to say. "Thank you so much for loving me Amelia, trust me it's one of the best gift in my life and I want to treasure it more than anything "
I looked up to him, my insides warm and fuzzy with every word coming from him. My heart drummed hard in my chest and I made sure he could see it in my eyes that he means the world to me.
"I want to live with you for the rest of my life, marry me Amelia. Be my wife, the mother to my unborn children let me marry you " he whispered the last words only for me to hear.
My breath hitched in my throat and my lips parted in surprise, of all things I expected him to say I didn't think of that even once until it was there right in my face.
"What kind of wedding do you want, I saved up some money that could help us if you say yes " Gale added and I felt my heart stop for a second or two. I looked at this man, my vision clouded with tears.
Until now I didn't have dreams of  a wedding ever taking place in my life, what kind of wedding did I want.
I couldn't tell cause it was now and with him that I started thinking about marriage " how about we go to the magistrate tomorrow and just sign the papers " I stated while in thought, Gale's lips stretched into a smile.
"Does that mean you have agreed to marry me " Gale asked, you could see and feel the kind of happiness he felt.
I nodded in reply and he suddenly let go, he turned back on me and I stood still confused before he burst into laughter, I internally sighed in relief.
Gale turned to me and before I knew it I was being lifted up in air with a shock and surprise scream "Thank you, thank you, thank you " he said as he turned around. It had been long since I last saw him this happy and it definitely made me one of the happiest ladies in the world.
Finally I was back at my feet but still in the arms of my love " Sorry I didn't prepare well for this proposal neither did I buy you a ring " he added and I giggled.
I didn't expect that talking to his mom would lead to all this, after everything about this day at least there was happiness at the end of it.
The darkness was back once again and it was really shocking me, I couldn't move not because I didn't but because I didn't know where exactly to head to. Gale had left once again without giving me a clue on where I was.
No matter how hard I looked I couldn't find the light out of here, Am I dead?
Is this the place where the dead go to or... If am still alive then what is the name of this place and how did I get here.
It was getting more and more confusing for me, the urge to stand up and move around was strong but I was so lazy to do so.
With everything going on in my life, I lost all the energy to even lift a finger. How I love him and now here I was waiting urgently for him to come back and maybe save me from all this.
For the first time in years I slept in, after all break up sex is the best plus a tiring day. I don't know if it should really be be called that cause seriously it happened after his marriage proposal.
I woke up with a smile, yes I was already late for work and today is busy day but some how I didn't mind.
I sat up and stretched out before looking around the room, it seems Gale had left already and well it's okay.
I got of bed and found my way to the bathroom for a shower, I knew I had to prepare for work but am so lazy to go.
It was the first time in my life to be so lazy to work, I always sacrificed my everything to have a better life.
Since childhood I was well aware that having a stand in the society wouldn't be easy, there was once a stage at school when I wanted to give up bit I knew that get a benefactor like K.C.R wouldn't be easy so I decided to continue no matter how hard it was.
All was because I yearned for the best and now here I was, already a graduate. Am one of the best new lawyers in the world, and I have a handsome doctor for a fiance.
I know my benefactor and then my father, at least I have a clue on my mom. I don't know why this gave a certain kind of comfort, no one can call me an orphan now. Is that a good thing or not.
I don't know if it would be possible but today I needed to talk to my mother, I want her to clarify a few things about all this that is going on.
But how will I be able to face her now.
