Chapter 40 His death
“If you are right then someone did this to us, someone gave him a drug that he didn’t normal take and your papa trusts everyone in the house, he took it, before leaving the house for his meeting, they also knew that he will get hurt and when he did get hurt, all your doctor wanted to do was make sure is your papa is fine and he did what he has to do, when he thought he did the right thing by fixing what he has done, your papa should has been fine.” Adrian stated.
“We were gone for a while leaving him all alone, I took a bath, you left to take care of things.” I breathed out. “He was- no.” I whispered so low clutching my heart.
Was
It’s not a term I would like to use to address my father, it didn’t sit right to me, I could still see his face
My papa.
I watched as Adrian headed toward the drip and he took the bag, it was remaining little to nothing.
“Are you going to-“ I asked and he nodded, I needed to be right, because I know my papa would never leave me or his own accordance, I know that my papa would fight to be with me, he could never give up so quickly.
In some minutes, a guard walked in and Adrian handed him over the thing before he had to leave.
My breath hitches when I headed toward my papa
“They took your time away, they cut our time short, I don’t forget papa and I have no desire to ever forget, I will make the person pay for what they have done.” I breathed out.
I didn’t want to see him like this, I wanted him to be awake, to tell me that no one tried to kill him and I am wrong, to tell me that he is alive and he will take care of everything.
I sat beside him, holding his hand softly.
“I know you never wanted me to be close o the mafia but papa, this is something I has to do, I have to defy you to be able to get what I want, and I am sorry I have to do this.” I breathed out.
“Elara.”
“What?.” I yelled when I realized what I had just done, I am not meant to yell, I didn’t even think I would yell. I stared at him when he inched closer to me. “Are you going to help me? Or will you say I am crazy, I am desperately trying to find answers.”
“Someone did this and we will find out who it was.” He said and I nodded. “I will have the guards pull up the footage of everything that happened yesterday and this morning when we both left him all alone, but Elara, you need to prepare.”
“For what? I can’t deal with anything.” I breathed out when he held my other hand, I didn’t want to fight, I didn’t want to argue, I didn’t even have it in me to yell at anyone anymore.
“Your family.” He said and my heart sank, I hate that he is right.
“They are going to fight for this, fight for the throne and try to make me suffer, they will want to take everything away won’t they, they won’t care that papa is gone, they will be happy that he is gone, they will be happy that he is not here and they know I ma weak.” I breathed out as he stared at me.
“You are not weak Elara, and you are going to show me that.” He said and I nodded.
I didn’t want that to know that papa is gone, at least not yet, I didn’t want any one of them to be here, I know how chromatic the house is going to be, how much they hate me and how they have been waiting for this to happen.
I didn’t even want to think about any of this.
I found myself resting on Adrian chest, we both sat on the floor and y hand was on papa
This is not how I pictured I will be awake, I had though it would be better, I had thought papa will be awake.
“You know, papa would always say, I would never leave you Elara, you are going to get tired of me, one day when I am old, wrinkly and I can’t take care of the mafia, you would say now you will take care of me but you will get tired of your old papa.” I smiled, snorts pulls out of my nose.
“He loved you, he always did, you were his purse possession, I know you thought he cared for the mafia more, but you have no idea what it looks like when parents only care for the mafia.”
“Tell me about yours.” I breathed out, and I felt him stiff, I wanted to listen, o needed to hear him talk, I needed to take my mind off things, because right now, I felt like I was about to lose my mind.
“You don’t- they didn’t care for me or anyone except Henry.” Hw said,his tone filled with bitterness as I stared at him. Who is Henry? I wanted to ask yet I didn’t.
I didn’t want him to cry, I didn’t want him to feel pain.
“How and when did you meet my papa?.” I asked.
“At a shipments delivery, he got stuck in Italy, because of the storm and o offered him a place to stay, he was shocked, he thought I wanted him dead but I knew better, I took care of him, my maids and everything and he knew he could trust me, the first time I aww you, it was a picture in his wallet and he didn’t let me look longer than three seconds.” He said and I smiled
That’s my papa, a strong man.
