Chapter 11
Amelia POV
So early in the morning, I was still deep asleep after the previous day’s house madness after seeing another guy. Still, in deep sleep, my buzz woke me up Immediately. I quickly got up to check who it was for me to see it was the phone number of the nurse who was at my father’s Ward.
” What could happen for her to call me by this time?” I asked myself still trying to clear away the sleep from my eyesight before I could pick up the call it had already ended. I just kept the phone back on the bedside cupboard trying to lay my head back on the bed. As my head hit my pillow my phone buzzed again making me hiss and pick up the call with anger in my voice.
” What is it? Haven’t I cleared all the whole Bill’s?” I passed question after question to her as she tried to calm me down.
” I know it’s so early to call you but there’s something important I have to tell you,” The nurse said through the phone as Bryan immediately stood up from his sleeping position and gave a glance at me.
” Why make a call so early when you are meant to be sleeping?” He asked as I pretended no one was even saying a word to me. ” Animal,” he said the word and lay his head back to sleep meanwhile the nurse was still on the phone.
” Tell,” I instructed quickly.
” Your Dad”
“What’s wrong with my dad? Don’t tell me something is beginning to wrong with my dad?” I kept on asking these questions immediate fear grew within me immediately. My heart began to pound so quickly that the sound could be heard loud and clear. The anxiety of how the nurse said the word my dad was something I became sacred of at that same spot.
” Madam please keep calm” The nurse kept saying these words as I kept on panicking through the phone which made Bryan wake up once more hiss and leave me alone without a word.
” Okay,” I took a deep breath in and out and asked.” How’s my dad?”
” Your father kicked the bucket,” the nurse said as she cut off the call in one second.
” My father is dead,” I said with confusion all over myself. ” My father is dead” I screamed out with tears rolling out of my eyes like a waterfall.
My scream made the whole house aware something bad had happened to me making almost all the people at the mansion come into my room including my father-in-law and Bryan.
” My father was someone that I would never forget in a hurry. My father was a good man to me and a perfect structure of a good husband” I said with tears rolling down from my eyes as Mr Smith came closer to me with a sad look and the rest of the other’s faces looking down the floor but when this was going on Bryan got happy about this. He derives joy from my pain, he was more heartless than anything that could be compared. I felt deep pain concerning my dad’s death and he was extremely happy about it even though he wasn’t laughing at how he looked at me and behaved plus his smirk could say everything so clearly.
“Father-in-law, what have done to deserve all this at this time of my life” I cried out as Mr. Smith held on to my hands with sadness on his face already.
” I know losing your dad is hard for you but you still have to stay strong for your mother,” Mr Smith said as he cleared my eyes tears keeping me on his shoulders as Bryan just smiled.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
” Bryan, come tell your wife sorry; she needs you at this moment more than anyone, else,” Mr. Smith said to Bryan who just came closer to me and sat beside me with his always nasty look at me. I simply just ignored him and kept on crying while remembering my post-life activities with my father. And now my father’s surgery wasn’t successful I regretted marrying who I am already married to. I got married to him to pay off my father’s hospital bills but now, no longer a father nor an enjoyable marriage just from one level of suffering to another higher level. I just can’t imagine myself without a father.
” Sorry though,” Bryan said as I turned my head around and gave a look at him which came with a hiss immediately as he placed his hands around my waist and pinched me so hard that I couldn’t even shout but just endure the pain he placed in me around.
” I think we all should leave and keep her here all alone,” Bryan said as his dad looked at him while the house help present were already leaving one after the other. Mr Smith gave a cruel look to his son as I stood up from the bed I stayed on all this while.
” Where are you off to?” Mr Smith asked immediately as I was about to walk out, from the father and son.
” I want to go meet my mom so we can prepare to pay for the mortuary bills,” I said as I wore my footwear properly.
” No need to do that, me and Bryan would settle all that today ” Mr Smith stood up to meet me as I tried walking out of the door that was fixed in my room and that off Bryan.
” Thanks, Father-in-law” I hugged him with tears hanging in my voice Bryan immediately stood up and came close to me and his father.
” So don’t cry anymore, I would happily accept to be your new father,” Mr Smith said to me.
” B… But”
” No, No, No. Please I would not want you to reject that at all please accept the offer” Mr Smith said giving me a peck on my forehead before he walked out of the room which Bryan immediately followed him . Before Bryan could leave the room arena he turned back.
” For stressing me today when I come back I would deal with you” Bryan said that giving a naughty look to me and left.
