Capítulo 60: The Only One Who Can Help You
Gale's mind was in a state of shock and her eyes widened when she recognised the man before him. She looked perplexed, unable to believe that she was seeing Liam sitting right before her eyes.
'Is it really Liam?' she mused, blinking her eyes several times to make sure she was not hallucinating. She pinched her hand and felt the pain. She was not dreaming or hallucinating. It was really Liam.
"Liam," she murmured once more. It was really Liam, sternly looking with a hint of contempt in his eyes for her. Gale's eyes unconsciously welled up with tears. It was really him. Liam…
How many years had passed already since she last saw him? Five, six or seven years? She lost track of time already. She felt happy, yet she was filled with a wave of fear, not understanding the reason for his presence.
Gale's eyes drooped down, and she wished the ground to eat her wholly at that point. She imagined meeting Liam someday, but not even in her wildest dreams she had imagined that she would meet him in the kind of situation where she was in right now.
The man who made her his most precious possession at a time and offered his life, his happiness and everything to her was standing before her eyes. And her miserable state was nothing she could be proud of or anything that she could show off to him about.
'Why is he here today? Is it to mock me and show me how miserably I ended up by not choosing him?'
"Are you here to mock me? To laugh at my situation I am in now?" she whispered, voice shaking. Her body too was shaking in mixed emotions because this was the last thing she expected to happen. She clasped her hands tightly below the table to control her trembling.
Liam's eyebrows lifted hearing those words from Gale before a disappointed grin appeared on his face.
"Dumb you always were, but did you become deaf also after staying for a few days inside the bars? Or have you lost your sense of judging people completely? Didn't the officers brief you about your pro bono lawyer coming over?" Liam snapped.
Gale's face paled then she whispered, "You mean you will handle my case? The pro bono lawyer who offered to take up my case?"
Liam did not answer, but his silence confirmed it. Gale gulped and added, "But why?"
She bowed her head down, looking at her hands. Her head shook and she could not dare give even a proper look at Liam. After all those years of no contact and keeping no news of each other, he suddenly showed up in front of her like this? What else did he expect her to say? Isn't he here to slap her with retribution of the bad karma she obtained by making him sad?
Liam's jaw tightened. He hated it when Gale bowed her head like this. She was still so weak. She had not changed much! No wonder she happily stepped in the trap laid for her, without seeing it coming. She was an easy scapegoat for the culprit. She had no one to defend herself since Gale was an orphan, a nobody in their eyes who could be used to get their aim.
"Why? You want to know why? It is simply because I'm the only one who can help you at this point of time. You married for money one day and look where it landed you today." Liam hissed with a clenched jaw and Gale wanted to cry out loud but suppressed herself.
Liam was right. She was probably facing retribution for breaking his heart, but he was wrong on one thing.
"I married him because I loved him too, Liam. I still love Gilbert," Gale defended, trying her best to control another tear from falling, recalling the tragic ending of Gilbert always gave her pain in her heart. Gilbert was her everything.
She bit her lips, afraid that her words were like an axe cutting through Liam's heart again. It had been years already since she first met Liam in her country. Gale drifted back to the time when she first met Liam.
She worked as a waitress in one of the beach resorts at the Capital City of country V. She accidentally bumped into Liam and spilled the drinks on her tray at him. She had never met a man as handsome as him. Tall, mysterious and masculine. He looked so prominent and dignified.
He was not staying in their resort, but she often saw him picking up a VIP guest booked at their resort. She felt bad for accidentally spilling on his shirt and spoiling it, so she bought another shirt that day and gave it to him when he came next time.
Liam was an aloof man, but she caught his attention by her simple caring gestures, like offering a treat of a cup of coffee as an apology as well for the unpleasant encounter. Well, she always served him coffee she noticed he liked before even ordering it whenever he was at the restaurant.
She had a good and harmonious relationship with him, and eventually they became a couple. She was so happy seeing him smile and laugh whenever he was with her. For some reason, Gale wanted Liam to be happy. They kept meeting and remained as a couple for almost two years.
Liam was her first man whom she shared everything with. He knew all her dreams because Liam was always there by her side, supporting her in all her endeavors.
She knew little about Liam. He was always secretive and didn't like to speak about himself and his family. They were a couple and Liam was very protective of her, but she was sometimes afraid of talking to him as his replies were always short and whenever she asked about him, he stiffly refused her answers... but she felt secure whenever she was with him.
He was from country D and he would often leave whenever his Boss needed to get back, but most of his time was spent on her.
She was not aware of who Liam was at that time, but he said he was into a small business.
Gale knew how Liam loved her deeply. He had already planned everything for them. He was so sincere and genuine to her to the point that he proposed marriage and wanted to bring her to his country to meet his family but she told Liam that the two of them should still wait because she felt she was not ready for the marriage.
Everything seemed so perfect until Gilbert came into her life like a hurricane.

Capítulo 61: Someone He Deserved
Gilbert was like Liam, young, handsome and very nice as well… The only difference was Gilbert was from a very rich family, the CEO of an enormous company unlike Liam whom she thought was only a small business unit owner.
It was a struggle for her because she loved Liam, but somehow she was feeling the same way also for Gilbert also.
Gilbert gave her a sense of security just like Liam, and he was quite possessive over her. She had started liking being with Gilbert, though she was in a relationship with Liam at the same time. She never thought she would come to the point of loving two men at the same time.
She tried to suppress her feelings for Gilbert since she knew it was not right because she was still in a relationship with Liam. But Gilbert pursued her, even after knowing she was still in a relationship. When Liam was gone for a long time for a trip to country D, she spent most of her time with Gilbert.
That time when Liam came back, he again proposed to her for marriage, but she had come to the point of confusion of her actual love that could last a lifetime with him. So she turned down Liam's proposal of marriage for the second time, saying she wanted space and time to think.
Liam was very much disappointed and asked her for reasons. So she told him everything he needed to know and honestly told him about her feelings for Gilbert.
Liam was taken aback by her replies and it took him a few moments before he believed her words, but yet he gave her enough time to sort her feelings out. During that time Liam kept a distance from her and on one side where he felt heartbroken, she still was not that broken and most of her days were still spent with Gilbert who never left her confused mind alone and still pursued her inconsistently.
Gale thought for a very long time. She analysed her life and realised she liked Liam, but her relationship with him was limited to sharing his point of views and his possessiveness for her. He was no doubt a good boyfriend, and he was very loyal and loving too, but her delicate heart was very much afraid of making him angry and didn't know how to stand his anger whenever she disobeyed him. His anger and stubbornness along with his rudeness was something that Gilbert gave medicine for.
Gilbert was not only head over heels in love with her but also cared about her opinions about each and everything she did. He started involving her in his business decisions and made her feel like his most important family ever since he proposed marriage to her. She had to admit one day that what she wanted in life was not only security and love from a person, but a complete involvement in his life as well. Something Liam was not able to give her the feelings of till now.
Then Gale's heart chose the gentle, sweet and charming Gilbert in the end. She would not be a hypocrite to say that she did not consider Gilbert's status as a factor at that point of time.
Liam thought she chose Gilbert merely because of the difference of his status with Gilbert's in her eye. He was so furious and Gale knew Liam hated her to the core for leaving him at the point where he had planned his life with her.
The last words she heard from Liam when she met him to give him a reply was, "Just do one thing… Make sure you don't have a miserable life, live well and happy."
And she confidently replied to him with, "I will live a happy life Liam so please make sure you do that too."
She and Gilbert became a couple officially, and when Gilbert proposed marriage to her, she happily accepted it. Gilbert was from the country D too, so she settled with him in this country. Here, she found everything she never had in life, unending love, luxury, a loving husband and a complete home with Gilbert.
Later, she found out about Liam's true identity and saw him on the news. She was really sorry for him and she hoped that Liam could find someone he deserved and be happy like her. Even if she found out about Liam's status before, Gale would still choose Gilbert over him for a few obvious reasons.
It was true, falling in love always started with emotions, but you always learned later whom you could grow those emotions with. Sometimes, love ends when you could not grow your emotions and start getting blocked in relationship matters. The love where you had the chance to grow in a sense of your emotional dependence mutually was probably the true genuine love.
Gilbert had registered their marriage as soon as she came to country D with him first before doing the wedding ceremony until Gale was ready to come in front of the public as his wife comfortably. She was happy with him for years and then he decided to do a wedding ceremony, saying he would want to give her a grand wedding and wanted to start a family with her, where he could proudly announce to the whole world that she was his wife.
But Gilbert was killed soon after their wedding ceremony. She was completely broken and was so devastated that she felt her world had crumbled without him.
She did not know how everything happened, but all she knew was that she was not the culprit. How could she kill the man she loved the most in her life, the man who gave her everything and a family, a complete life... for anything in this world?
Gale snapped back to the present and heaved a long-frustrated sigh with a sad smile on her lips before she met Liam's eyes. She could see pity in those eyes. He pitied her condition.
