Connected By Fate [Completed]

Chapter 30

A white light shone before my eyes. It was so bright, it was all I could see. Everything was so bright, I might even go blind. The brightness was too overpowering, and before I could think another word, blackness consumed me.

I am alone. I am forgotten. I have no one. No support. Nothing.

I hear the voice of someone calling out to me. Begging me to wake up. And so I push through. And slowly open my sleep-crusted eyes.

"Amber?!" I hear someone shout and I am immediately pulled into a hug. Pain spurs in my lower stomach region and I am quickly placed back down onto the soft surface.

"Oh, baby, I'm so sorry I didn't protect you. I'm a lousy mate who doesn't deserve you! You got stabbed! I could've helped you!" The male voice shouts again.

Everything rushes back into my mind. The whole betrayal situation came into my head. How they gave me up to a man who obviously hated my family and wanted to kill me. He already killed my father and no one seemed to care! Everyone was too damn caught up in saving themselves. How Malcolm managed to stab me in the stomach and not kill me slipped my mind and I honestly don't know how he didn't actually kill me. But, my mate, my hero saved me. And that meant I owed him. And i know exactly how to do that.

"No. Don't say that. You saved me and my life. You are my hero and mate. You saved my life Liam." I praised him, because he deserved it. He deserved the world.

"But you could've died. He could've killed you and it would have been my fault for leaving you." He said. Although my eyes were still closed, I could tell he would have the most heartbreaking expression right now.

"But we didn't know. No one knew except my family. And that's why I got hurt. Because of the brother I loved more than anyone. The sister-in-law that I looked up to. And the mother that was my world. That was my family. The loving family who I trusted. But, in the end, they all betrayed me. Even though I would be killed in the betrayal. They still went through with it. The people i grew up with, who 'loved' me. Who raised me. Who taught me. Who watched me grow. They were the ones who nearly killed me. They are the ones who were at fault." Tears fall out my eyes. But no noises. No hiccups. No wails. Nothing.

"I hate your family for this. Especially that 'woman' you called mother." Liam was mad and I could tell he wanted to kill them.

"Liam?"

"Mmm?" He hummed.

"Please don't kill them. Let them live with the betrayal and guilt. They will realize the wrong they caused harmed someone who was supposed to be protected by them." I begged and persuaded him.

"When did you become so wise Amber?" Liam laughed and kissed my temple. And as soon as he touched me, I opened my eyes and kissed his plump lips.

His eyes opened in a shocked way but not long before he kissed back. I want to say all the pain went into that kiss but it didn't. I was too hurt to lean in and fully kiss him.

"I have food for you that you have to eat." Liam smiled at me as he picks up a tray with a bowl on it.

I looked around me to check the surroundings. We were in the boot of Liam's car. It was a cozy mattress on the bottom of the boot. I had a blanket over me and I could see that Mike was driving. Liam was holding the tray over to show me that porridge was in the bowl. I hate porridge! But, I am hungry, so I thanked him and he started to feed me by spoon.

It was cold and disgusting, but I needed to eat, so I ate it. It tasted like paper mache it was that bad. But, I appreciate Liam going out of his way to feed me and provide food.

"So, Harry, since you're a doctor, what is going on right now with Amber? Is she going to be okay?" Liam asks him.

"Well, she is going to be fine. Thankfully, Malcolm hit no vital organs. He missed her kidneys and her stomach. You are lucky to be here but imagine if this situation was worse." Harry says from the backseat of the car. He turns back around and keeps looking out the window.
