CHAPTER 8

Mrs Beatrice continued apologizing to Amelia because she was still blaming herself in her mind but Amelia told her that the reason why her father died was because someone was administering poison to him,so he was still going to die even if it wasn't that day.

Beatrice was shocked,who could have poisoned him ? she asked,I don't know Amelia replied but I hope the police finds out and punishes that person,she then excused herself and went to her father's company not after giving Beatrice order that no one was allowed to see her father's corpse.

On her way to company,she tried calling her husband but he wasn't picking,she called her father's assistant in the office and organized a meeting,when she got there, everyone was already waiting in the conference room,there she announced the sad news about her father's demise.The board members were shocked because they still saw him looking hale and hearty during the party the weekend before.

They all consoled her and told her to count on them for anything she needed,she thanked them and went to pick her son from school,after picking him from school,she drove him straight to the airport and handed him over the person grandpa sent because they all knew that his life was in danger.

She gave him a necklace and told him everything without hiding anything from him and told him to take care of himself and not trust anyone. she promised him that she was going to go see him after she had sorted out his grandpa's burial.

He hugged her and promised her he was going to be a good boy and wait for her patiently,After giving her a reassurance that her son was in good hands,the unknown man took him away not without leaving someone behind to monitor and keep her safe.

Amelia watched them move towards the exit area,she couldn't handle separating from her son but she knew that it was what she was supposed to do to keep her son and her father's empire safe.

By the time she got back to the hospital,her husband was already there,on seeing her he hung up the call and went to hug her,she slapped his hand away and went to the doctor's office to sign and also make plans for the burial.

Alexander didn't think about Amelia discovering the truth,he felt she was sad because of her father's death that was why she was been cranky,he thought there was no traces of his crime because he made sure her father was dead before he left the house unseen. Blame it on the old man for finding out about my second family and my ambitions he thought to himself,if only he had just stayed silent as always,he had come this far to let any plan of his failed, Don't worry old man,I will try my best not to let your daughter suffer he said if she co-operates otherwise she will have to come and keep you company and also reunite with you all,he said to himself smiling.

He waited for his wife outside the doctors office and when she came out he tried to talk to her but the only thing she said to him was that she wanted to be alone,so she was going to be spending some time at her father's house and asked him to go home.

She told him that her son went for excursion so he won't be around,he nodded and apologized for not been available to pick her calls,he explained that he was very busy and that his phone was on silent mode that was why he couldn't hear the calls coming in.

She smiled and not him not to worry that when wasn't angry ,she only wanted some time for herself,he nodded and walked her to her car. After seeing the car drive out of the hospital,he walked back inside the hospital and went to meet Beatrice.

Thank you for a job well done he said to her,it is nothing she answered him,I am doing this so that my daughter and grandson can have a happy life she replied. do you think she suspects us ?,he asked Beatrice,no she doesn't suspect anyone Beatrice replied,she just know that he was poisoned and that is all.

What is next Alex, Beatrice asked,I can't wait for my daughter to come and take her rightful place beside you,she continued.It is just a little more time mother-in-law he replied jokingly.

What do you want us to do about Amelia and her son ? Beatrice asked, don't worry they won't serve as a threat and we can't touch them now you know so people don't suspect,Alex answered,we can always think of something.

Unknown to them Amelia was listening to everything they were saying because she had installed a mini camera to Beatrice necklace when she hugged her earlier, Amelia couldn't stop the tears from falling from her eyes.I am sorry dad she said,it is my fault that you were killed but I promise that those who killed you will join you soon she said.
