HER UNDYING LOVE ✔

Chapter 26

ALEXA'S POV:

I woke up in the arms of Daniel. His face looked so peaceful and more beautiful when he's asleep. I got up gently from the bed to have my bath.

After doing my morning business, I blow dried my hair and put on a sweatshirt and pants before walking out of the bathroom.

"Why didn't you wake me up to join you" I was startled a bit hearing his voice

"You looked so cute and innocent, I didn't want to wake you" he run his hands in his hair. It should be illegal for someone to look this hot in the morning

"I have to go to work" he stated looking at me expectantly. Um.......am I missing something, why is he looking at me like that

"I've heard you" i said, wondering why he was still standing in  front of me.he rolled his eyes

"You're supposed to say 'please baby don't go, I want you to say ' or something along the lines to make me stay" I laughed

"You can go, I won't miss you that much" I wrapped my arms around his neck smiling sheepishly at him

"Really now?" He quirked his brows "go out with me tonight" my smiled flattened a little

"Are you sure? What if mother needs something" he pulled me closer than before

"I'm the one you're married to not her. So, your duties are to me got it?" I smiled nodding in agreement

"Be ready, by 8pm" he said before leaving me with a breathless kiss

I decided to go spend sometime with father, and ask for his advice on working in my father's company with Ethan. I went to his room only to see him sleeping peacefully on his bed. Awww, he looks so cute, like father like son.

I decided to put a glass of water by his bedside just in case he becomes thirsty. Why would he be sleeping so early in the morning? I touched him so I could wake him up to go have his bath.

I tried waking him up but he didn't respond. Oh my God! What's happening? I put my hand on his neck to check for pulse but there was none. I placed my ear on his chest to check for heartbeats but, like earlier, there was none.

I let out a loud shrieking sound as fear clasped me. I ran to my room and got my phone, I dialed 911 and stated the emergency, I called Danny and told him what had happened. I ran to call everyone else in the family

No, this can't be what I'm thinking, he was already recovering, why would he suddenly end up dead? No it's unacceptable. Within ten minutes, the paramedics and all the family members were here. I wrapped my hands around Daniel the moment I saw him.

"He'll be fine Alexa, he has to he" he whispered in my ear, sounding like he was trying to convince himself

I tightened my hands around him seeing mom, Samurai and Anna were all shedding tears as mom pulled them into a hug. Goose bumps covered my body as hot tears streamed down my face when the doctor covered dad with white cloth

"Why are you covering him doctor" Anna asked. She wiped her tears and went to uncover father

"I'm very sorry Miss Clemonte but, we...we couldn't save him" she fell on the floor beside him and rested her head on his chest as she cried bitterly, Samurai lost consciousness and the nurses immediately ran to her to take her to the hospital while Mom yelled hysterically shaking the doctor who gave us the news to save her husband immediately.

I could not contain the sob that escaped my mouth. I started crying so hard, the pain of losing a parent was so unbearable. Daniel couldn't move, it's like he was in a state of shock, his eyes just remained glued to his lifeless father.

*~*~*~*

It was truly a tragic day for our family. After dad's corpse had been taken away, mom and Anna had gone to the hospital believing something can still be done to save him. Samurai was already admitted in the hospital, it was remaining Daniel and I in the house.

He still wouldn't move, or say anything, he couldn't even shed tears. I was getting so worried about him

"Danny please say something, anything" I pleaded with him but all he said was

"Do you know that for years, I resented my father for not looking for me and for leaving my mom and I when I was still a boy. I grew up just fine without him but, I never knew how important it is to have a father in one's life until he came back. I have only been reunited with him for a short while only to have him taken away." He sighed

"I totally understand how you feel but, you need to release the emotions you're feeling, it's not good to keep your pain pent up inside" tears streamed down my face as I saw him holding back those tears in his eyes

"Would crying bring him back?" His words broke my heart. He got up and went to the bed. He didn't say or do anything else.

I was still sobbing on the floor when Ethan and Suzzy came. I quickly ran into his arms as I poured out all my emotions. I have lost a father again and don't know how to conceal such pain. It reminds me of losing my parents as well.

"It'll be alright baby, I promise" he cooed in my ear as he carried me to sit on his lap.

"I'm so sorry Alex, for what happened" I got up from Ethan's lap and hugged Suzzy tightly.

"I..(hiccup) don't know (hiccup) how to make Daniel feel better (hiccup) he won't let out his pain" she wrapped her hands around me again

"It's okay, just give him more time to come to terms with what happened" I nodded crying some more. They stayed for a while before going as Suzzy wasn't feeling well.

I didn't know how long I had cried, but it was dark already when Anna came home. She ran up to me and hugged me.

"He's really gone" she whispered so lowly but I heard her

"I'm so sorry Anna, so sorry" we both cried in each other's arms

"Where's Daniel?" She asked

"He's still in shock, he won't even speak to me anymore" she smiled weakly

"Please understand Alex, out of all of us here, he's the one who hasn't spent enough time with....father. He's hurting the most"

"I know, I just....wish he'll open up to me, he's pain is also my pain. I'm so worried about him" she side hugged me

"He'll be fine, we all will" she muttered

*********************************

Losing a loved one is a very terrible experience, especially a father. I couldn't hold my own tears when writing this chapter because I know and have felt the pain they are going through right now😭😭😭
I just pray his Mr Clemonte's soul rest in perfect peace
