CHAPTER 7

" Dad,are you alright ?,Amelia asked her father because when she walked into the house she saw him lying lifelessly on the floor in the sitting room,but he didn't answer her,she quickly took out her phone and called the family doctor who told her he was on his way.

Don't leave me now dad she said,you are my only support and I really need your help right now,I am all alone.do you know that Alexander has another family,I don't even know what to do.

What happened ? the doctor asked as soon as he came in because the door was open and there was nobody to answer him.I don't know Amelia replied,I just came him now and met him like this on the floor.

The doctor quickly checked his heartbeat and gave him some injections,but he and Amelia helped mr Carlos to the bed,as she was about leaving she saw that a hand was holding her hand tightly,she looked up to see her father looking at her with a sad face.

She quickly hugged him and asked if he was fine,the doctor called her outside and gave her the news that her father was poisoned and he didn't have much time again,Amelia could do nothing but continue crying,deep down she knew who poisoned her father and why he was poisoned.

She thanked the doctor and walked back into the room looking dejected,she sat beside her father and narrated everything she found out to him and also told him about his situation,her father held her hand tight and apologized to her,he told her he already knew about it but he couldn't tell her because he was trying to protect her.

He asked her to pick his phone and call a number,when she did,a foreign man appeared on the screen, apparently he was her father's trusted lawyer,after giving out some instructions and showing her to the man,he gave up the ghost but not before telling her not to sign any documents brought by anyone and also thanking her for been the best daughter any one would wish for,he also told her not to trust anyone,to take her son and go far away because his life was in danger

Amelia couldn't stop crying,she had earlier called the cops and also requested for an ambulance to take her father to the hospital,there she was met by the maid whose son was also in the hospital due to an accident.amelia asked her why no one was at home and she explained that she received a call that her son had an accident and Mr Carlos gave her permission to go. the maid Mrs Beatrice blamed herself for leaving the house if not nothing would have happened to Mr Carlos but Amelia told her not to cry that even if she was at home,what would have happened will still happen.
