Chapter Thirty
When mother Pauline and Mr. Rogers faced each other, things got so intense and I felt like things were about to go wrong but actually they didn't.
Mother Pauline turned to me and excused herself but Mr. Rogers couldn't let her go so he followed and me, well I had to stay here with Gale.

Mr and Gale looked at each other for a while before he started laughing leaving me so confused, " It's funny how you just woke up and caused two elders to fight " he whispered in between laughs and some how I felt so guilty but also angry at the same time.
Gale seemed to notice as he stopped laughing and looked a t me in question, he moved close and took a seat besides me.
"Am sorry that I back home late " he whispered and I lifted my eyes up at him, I was so scared when I turned around and came face to face with that man.
I looked at Gale " what took you so long ?" I asked the only thing that has been nagging me, he took a seat in front of me and sighed out loud
"At least I came back in time, right ?" He replied and my eye brows twitched, my lips in a thin line by now I knew Gale enough to know he was hiding something from me.
"That doesn't answer my question " I whispered faintly looking away from him towards the hospital window, the screws in my head kept turning in search for what he could be hiding.

"I can't give you that answer now " He replied, placing his hand under my chin and bringing my gaze back to his " Do you trust me ?"
I looked at Gale for a while, though I seemed a little hesitant to reply but that didn't take away the fact that I trust him more than myself, with a small sigh I nodded in reply.
"Thanks " with that he pecked my lips, I could see the eagerness to have more in his eyes but did nothing maybe because I was still in a hospital after that assassination attack.
"Gale " I whispered holding his hand tight in mine, from the beginning I was afraid of darkness but now I felt lime it's going to come back at me rougher than usual "don't go "

Was all I could whisper and I know he could sense the fear in my voice, I was really so afraid of being attacked once again and maybe more. Gale placed his hand on my cheek and I leaned in to it's warmth and that peace I yearned for was right there in the arms of my soon to be husband.
"You wouldn't mind if the police ask you a few questions "  he stated and my now closed eyes flew close in fear, I shook my head not sure if that would help in any way.
"I can't " I replied closing my eyes once again " now it's really scary to remember can I at least have a few days to settle mentally with what happened "
I could feel Gale's gaze but I didn't open my eyes nor try to understand the emotion he expressed, good enough he didn't say anything and just pulled me on to him.
I held tightly on his shirt like my whole self depended on it and he didn't seem to mind as he held me so close, it was I realised that I can't wait to marry this man.
I was so sure that being with Gale was the best decision have ever made, he was my comfort and my peace or how I love him.
The room door opened once again and we pulled apart, I opened my sleepy eyes expecting to either see mother or Mr. Rogers but it was none of them.
Maggie stood in the door way with someone I didn't feel like seeing, me and Gale looked at each other before placing a kiss on my forehead and standing up.
"Hey Sweetie " Maggie said as she moved forward and sat in front of me, she took my hands in hers with the outmost care " how are you doing now ?"
I smiled at her "Am fine Maggie " she was really like a mother to me and I appreciate that she loves me as her own, I knew that if my death occurred she would be one of the people that will miss me.
I was really so afraid to die and thinking of the time when I couldn't feel the air fill my lungs was really scary, I shook my head in shock while pushing my thoughts a side.
"Who dared to this ?" She questioned and I wasn't sure how to answer that question, it was also bugging me but I was afraid to voice that out yet.
I hadn't reached that stage in my profession when it had become so dangerous for me to be alone and if this was really an attempted assassination then why or maybe it was a robbery.
Seriously a lot had happened and am not sure if any of the two was the real reason but sincerely if am to remember well that man's face, he was so intent on killing me.
"I don't know " that's the only answer I could give Maggie right now but that didn't mean I was about to give up on my investigation.
"Don't stress yourself now, the doctor suggested you rest " she added with a smile and I frowned, the way she said that made ms curious for some reason.
I was starting to feel like a delicate vase that would break at any minute from now, I looked at Gale then back at Maggie with questions in my eyes.
"Oh you haven't told her yet " Maggie said directing this question to Gale and now am sure that if they don't tell me what's going on right now I would be throwing them out of my room.
"No " Gale whispered pushing off the wall and walking towards us, it was now I remembered that Maggie had come with Rebecca who was starting to feel out of place.
How could I have forgot that she's in the room but why did Maggie have to bring her here after everything she had done to me and Gale, I fazed out as Gale and Maggie chatted on.
I looked at Rebecca in question and I was sure my gaze was making her uncomfortable but sincerely she isn't one of those people that I had expected to see while am in trouble.
You know how people say it, to know those that love you sincerely is when you're in danger but I don't think Rebecca falls in that category.
"Why are you here ?" I couldn't stop my self from voicing that out, she turned to me and so was every one else.
Maggie and Gale looked at me and tried their best to keep me calm, I turned to them.
Maggie's grip on my hand tightened a bit and Gale looked at me with pleading eyes, it was as if I would jump from this bed any minute from now and attack the precious heiress.
"Can you give us a minute " I whispered and they both looked at me in shock.
"Love you..."
"Please " I whispered cutting off Gale's sentence, Maggie looked at Gale then back at me before letting my hands go.
"We're right outside if you need anything " she whispered and Gale looked at me, you could see that his hesitant about leaving but I need to find out a few things on my own.
"I will be fine " I whispered to Gale and he looked at me for while and I gave him a smile, he sighed and nodded. I almost beamed when he agreed, he placed a kiss on my forehead and then turned and followed Maggie out.
Finally it was only me and Rebecca, I turned to her giving her my full attention " what are you doing here Becca?" I questioned right away.
She took a step forward towards me " how are you ?" She asked pushing strands of her hair behind her ear.
I turned to to look at her in shock, it has been a while since Becca asked me that and truly am not sure how to feel about this at all.
"Am fine " I whispered looking away and she nodded in reply then it was all silence between us, I didn't know what to say and am not sure what was really going on in her brain.
" I didn't come here to make any trouble for you, I was so worried when I heard what happened to you " She added and I looked up at her in shock once again.
"You were worried about me " I couldn't stop but ask once again, this conversation was getting more and more surprising for me "I don't believe you "
Rebecca turned to look at me when I said that, she didn't show any sign of being hurt by what I had just said and I guess that's so okay for me.
"I can't blame you for that, I also can't trust my self " she added and I lowered my eyes with a smile.
"Am glad you know that so let get back to business " I said then lifted my eyes to Rebecca once again, she shifted a bit and pushed strands of her brown hair behind her ear once again.
"Why are you here Rebecca ?" I asked, I no longer had enough energy for this. I felt a wave dizziness hit me hard and the urge to lay back became strong.
"I see your tired so I won't waste much of your time, it's about work " she stated and I looked at her curiously, she reached in her purse and pulled out a brown envelope placing it in front of me " the management asked me to deliver this to you "
I took the envelope and tore it open, inside there was a folded white paper. I looked up at Becca before in unfolding it and well I was being fired from the firm.
I froze in shock then lifted my eyes to Rebecca in anger before folding the paper again " It's easy Amelia, leave Gale for me and I will give you your job back "
She whispered and I looked up at her, I couldn't be surprised at all cause let's be serious. In this country power and money do the ruling.
But I can't lower my self to beg like that especially now that I know am far richer than her, with a smile I replied words that I know won't allow her to sleep at night
"You're far outdated Rebecca, am not that Amelia Rose that can beg any more but the one that's going to destroy every inch of you " And with that I turned to the other side and lay down.
"What do you mean ?" I heard her voice but just closed my eyes ready to nap.
"Am talking to you " she roared and that was enough to alert Gale and Maggie that came running into the room.
I can't tell you how they managed to take her out of the room cause I was lost in my own world.
Silent tears fell down my face and it hurt so much, I loved my job so much.
I could have work alone in the first place but I always yearned to join that firm and worked hard for it and she really took that away from me because she's rich.
