Chapter 22 The princess
I never thought I had it in me, I didn’t even think I am capable of doing what I had just done but she kept on talking and talking, I knew Alana liked to run her mouth and she didn’t have any decency and her parents didn’t care how she spoke to others, and it always annoyed me so much
But when she mentioned my mom, I lost it and I there a knife at her, it was done so perfectly that it handed on her chest as she screamed.
“Take care of your daughter Sam and warn her, she says another word about me or my mother or even Adrian, it would be the last thing she ever does, papa may not hurt any of you because of the promise he made but I will.” I threatened.
I never spoke to any one like that but having Adrian beside me, it gave me some type of confidence, one that I never thought that I had, and every one stared at me, papa has the biggest smile on his face
I know Adrain is right, I don’t owe any of them anything, I should not even care for any of them and this is the last meeting before the funeral. I need to be sure they will be on their bed behavior.
“Help me.” Alana yelled again and I rolled my eyes at her.
“This is who you want to hand over the mafia too, both her and her soon to be husband they are ruthless, he has no control over her, he is not stopping her form making mistake that will cost Hugh their lives.” Gabriella yelled and I rolled my eyes at her
What did she know about control.
We all know between her and uncle Jeremiah who has even more control and we both know that she would rather prefer it that way.
“Elara is capable of doing anything she feels like, she is not weak, she is strong ans she has an idea of what she is-doing, how she is doing it and she is smart enough to know right or wrong.” Adrian stated and I smiled
I guess this god for sakes dinner is over because I am sure no one wants to be a part of it anymore.

“You did good.” Papa smiled the moment we got to the house, the storm was a lot when we left and it made me feel scared but when I saw us pulling into the drive way, I knew he liked what I did.
“I am done with them papa, I never want to see them again.” I whispered, “they are not good, and Adrain is right, all they want is my downfall, your downfall and I can never let them ever see that.”
“I know princess.” Papa said and I smiled at him. “Go get Changed and we can all talk.”
I led him into his room when Adrian and I were about to step into our room.
“You share a bed.”
“We are not doing anything wrong papa.” I stated with a smile on my face, he should know I didn’t even consider Adrian as anything .
Yes seeing his body making me feel weak and have thought that I never imagined I could ever have, and when he is close to me, I ended up thinking of unholy things, he makes me want to fight, want to yell at other people , he wants me feel like I am stronger than want anyone could ever say, he makes me feel like I am not only a princess and I also have choices and I can do anything I like
But I don’t kno the real him, I don’t know his middle name, I don’t even know any thing about his family, I have no idea if he is the middle kid or the firs born, the truth is I only know what he shows me, other than that I have no idea

“When did it start papa?.” I asked when we settled in the living room, my eyes were on his, he didn’t mind talking about this in front of Adrian but Adrian thought this should happen without him which I did understand.
“A year ago, I got diagnosed and I started with the treatment, it was not good, because it’s horrible, there were things that I had to go through until I was told I didn’t have any hope left, the cancer left me for a couple of months but it came back again, this time even stronger.”
“You should have told me sooner.”
“I don’t want to scare you over nothing. I didn’t think it was serious. I didn’t think I will not be able to conquer it but I can’t, it’s too late now Elara.” He said and my chest tightened,
Papa didn’t cry, he didn’t show any emotion on his face, he had come into acceptance with his condition and he knew that, he didn’t have any choice but to believe, to come in accordance with reality no matter how much he hated it, how scared he was
But I can’t, I can’t accept it; this should not even happen to him, he is meant to be happy.
“Don’t cry for me princess.”
“I am going to lose you like I lost mama and I will be all alone, with no one, no one to call me princess, no one I can call papa.” I breathed out, my chested tightened, more tears streamed down my cheek as I stared at him and he instantly rushed toward me wrapping his hand around me as he pulled me closer to him.
“I don’t want to lose you papa, I can’t imagine that, you promised me that I will be happy but I can’t do that if I am not with you, no matter what you say. You know I can’t be happy without you.”
“You will be I promise.” He said.
