My Scumbag Ex Regrets after Seeing My Hot New Husband

Amelia's POV

She instantly hugged me tightly, almost jumping on my body, earning a huff from my lips.

"Lily. How are you? You came back." She pulled back and stared at me with a glare. I was left stunned when I witnessed a tear escaping her eye.

"Hey. Lily, why are you crying?" I gently wiped her wet cheek, making her grab my hand.

"You were going through all of this alone. You didn't even care to inform me. Come on, Amy, aren't we friends? I thought we were like sisters."

"Yes, Lily, you are like my sister. How can you even question me about something like this?" She shook her head before grabbing my wrist and pulling me into a garden near the hospital.

"Tell me, Amy, why am I not informed about all the pain you're going through alone? It's even been six months since you talked to me. Do you have any idea how worried I was? But you know your ignorance did a good job. That I decided to visit you and finally came to know about everything."

I looked down. I wanted to tell her. She's the only one with whom I could share my pain, but in all of this mess, I forgot about her.

"I am sorry, Lily. Forgive me. In all of these problems, I forgot to tell you this. I am sorry." She shook her head, grabbing my hands.

"Don't be. I can understand. Yes, I was upset, but I can understand that it's not easy to handle everything, especially on your own. Tell me about our little boy. How's he doing?"

I shook my head as tears gathered in my eyes. "No progress. The doctor is saying it seems like he had given up. And…"

My throat tightens as a sob gathers in it. She instantly pulled me in her arms. And within seconds, I burst out crying.

"I can't do this, Lily. I am losing my strength every second. Liam had destroyed everything. What should I do, Lily? I sobbed, clutching her jacket as she rubbed my back.

"That bastard. Don't worry, Amy. I am here for you. We will fight for our little Prince." Shaking my head, I broke the hug and wiped my tears away.

"The lawyer had already told me that there are no chances of our victory. Liam had done everything in his power to win this."

"I don't even have a job anymore. I need money for my brother, to pay for the lawyer, for my basic needs. Liam is trying everything to make me beg from him. I do not want that to happen."

"And you wouldn't," she said, grabbing my shoulders and staring straight into my eyes.

"I want to help you. But I am nothing against the Stones. We need someone who could show him his place, someone who could help you financially and with your brother's case? And only a powerful person just like Liam can do it."

I stared at her telling her that we didn't know any influential people except Liam, but instead, she gave me a small smile.

"You trust me, right?" I nodded without any hesitation, making her grin happily with my answer.

"So, listen to me. I know one person who's not only powerful, but many people worship him. Don't worry. You don't have to do anything wrong. He's Luca's boss, and I heard he needs help with something. I can't explain everything because I think it's better if he explains it to you. I will send you his address."

This sounded cryptic as I was about to accept an offer from a man I did not even know.

But do you have any choice? A voice in my head taunted me as I sighed heavily again. "Amy, you said you trust me, then do this. He's the only man who can help you to fight against Liam."

I looked up at her curious eyes before nodding my head, making her smile gratefully. I know Lily will never let me do things that could harm me. I trust her.

And I am ready to do this. I will do this for my brother, parents, and myself. I have to do this.

"Alright, let's go somewhere. We have a lot of catching up to do. I missed you so damn much. Even Luca was asking about you."

Lily and I were friends from diapers. We are like sisters. But when I got married, she also found the love of her life, Luca. That guy was the most polite man I had ever met. He was so much in love with her.

Lily had to move away with her husband as Luca got a job away from home. I did miss her a lot. We called each other almost every day, but after all this mess, I forgot about her.

The next day I got Lily's message. I somehow knew this address. It is near the company of the Stones.

I reached the place Lily told me. A small yelp left from my lips when a small body got slammed against my legs. I instantly kneeled, helping the little guy to stand up.

"Hey, little boy, what are you doing alone here? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to run on streets?" I said, dusting his dirty clothes.

I tilted my head in confusion when the boy kept on staring at me with a weird gaze. He held a writing board in his hand, and when I asked him once more, he remained silent. Instead, he began to sketch something on the board. Initially, I was puzzled, but as he completed the drawing, I recognized that it was an angel.

He pointed towards the angel he had drawn and then directed his finger towards me. It took me aback. Could he possibly be referring to me as the angel?
