The Millionaire Obsession ✔ (Completed)

Chapter 21: One last night

  It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure - Ernie Harwell

Serra pov 

It has been one whole week since Jamaica & Peter funeral.  Jamaica was buried right next to  Vincent &   Peter was buried right next to Mathew who was his son and lost his life during an attack in Afghanistan  .  The funerals were not only attended by close family members but also friends & whole town . Henry left right after the burial . It was pretty hard for him . He lost the love of his life . They were planning to get married soon & Henry was planning to purpose her  the following day . But I guess it was something written in destiny and you can't change your destiny  . Anna had stayed pretty strong through out the burial . She put on a brave face and refused to cry ,but behind close doors of her room her screams of pain & agony could be heard .As she smashed anything in her sight

As for me I felt like an empty shell . I sat in a corner of my room . Cuddled in a small ball . I refused to get out of the room when people came to see me . I couldn't help but feel guilty after all it was my fault. She took bullet for me . How cruel was it that I was alive & she was dead.

" Love please eat . You will get sick .You have to take your medicines. " Roman pleaded with me . He brought me food  everyday in hopes that I will eat something but I didn't feel like eating.  I had lost my appetite. I focused my eyes on the picture in front of me . Refusing to look him in eyes . Afraid that I will break down again . But my face was wet again and I was sobbing as he held me in his arms . Rocking my weak body.  Kissing the top of my hairs .

She refused to eat anything.  She had been the same since the funeral. The doctor said that she needed to eat in order to stay strong but she refused to listen to me or anyone.  She refused to get out of her room . Its not like I didn't try to feed her . I forcefully tried to make her eat that resulted in her vomiting everything.  I was sure she would fall ill if she don't  take her medicine. She was sobbing again as i held her close to me . After she stopped.  She closed her eyes and cuddled in my arms . Her head resting on my shoulders.  She closed her eyes. When I was sure she was asleep . I put her in the bed covering her small body with the comforter . I kissed the top of her head & sat besides her watching her sleep so peacefully . With her tiny hands  in mine . It brought a smile to my face . I kissed her lips and her hands one last time before leaving her alone in her room. I didn't want to leave her alone instead hold her as she slept . But I had to do something very important.

I went to Peter house .I knocked on the door. "Coming". A weak voice answered.  The door was opened and in front of me Peter widowed wife stood . "Hello ma'am "I said sadly. 
She opened the door wider letting me in . 

"Do you need water or anything? " she asked as I settled on the sofa on her porch .

"Nothing ma'am . I only came to see you . I know its hard for you . Your loss is too much and I know even if I try to fill it nothing is much to replace it . I am sorry.  Peter was like a father to me , he was there when I needed him . Yet I couldn't protect  him . I failed him . Please forgive me . The person who  did this I trusted him so blindly and yet he repaid me like this . I don't know what to say what to do ?   I wish I had listened to Peter's warning . Because of me 2 people lost their precious life . So many people lost their families.  Its  all my fault "

She hugged me tightly "Its okay Roman its not your fault.  You are only a human . God made us like this we don't know whom to trust and what to do . You loved Allen as a son . You did what was expected from a son . Don't destroy your life believing that what happened was all your fault . You saved so many people.  You saved Serra. Be proud of yourself and of What you did" .
