Daddy's New Associate

Chapter 53

Alexander stood proudly, looking around, he looked to his right where Jeremy stood smiling broadly excitement flowing from him. The atmosphere was one of anticipation and excitement, his own heart beat was deafening. Alexander never expected to be this nervous this day was bound to happen but wasn't too soon he just was shaking. the outdoor setting had was enchanting, she was right, it was perfect. The lush green grass beneath his feet and the floral decorations everywhere which not only beautified the place it added a light aroma. He inhaled deeply getting a whiff of the scent, he closed his eyes making a mental memory of this moment. He heard an abrupt movement of the congregation and he knew it was time. He heard a few gasp, he turned slowly and his eyes were blessed with the most breath taking, soul shakig sight. Her. She walked up the aisle slowly in tune with the music, his throat tightened at the floor length dress, decorated with jewels along the bustline and body. The bottom flared with a beautiful train following behind her. He felt warm tears flowig down his cheeks, he whipped them away as he could see her smiling behind the veil. Jeremy patted his back supportively, she was almost infornt of him, his face was hurting from how broad he was smiling, he never felt this happy in his enire life. She got before him at he lifted the veil, but who he saw beneath the veil wasn't who he was expecting, he frowned in confused as he searched the congregation helplessly. Destiny smiled at him as he pastor began the ceremony. Alexander heard a familiar sobbing, he continued to search util he found the source. He saw Anabella also in a wedding dress standing at the end of the aisle,

"Please come back to me" was all she said, when Alexander's eyes opened franticly.

Alexander body's ached as he looked around his new environment, the wedding he saw was all a dream, his breathing was labored as he surveyed his surroundings. A pungent order tickled his nose and he scoffed at the scent, the peach walls around him looked unfamiliar. he felt a pulsing pain in his leg, he sat up to inspect it when he saw it hanging above him, and his senses were coming back to him slowly when the sobbing from his dream continued, a wild head of hair was laid on the edge of the bed as she held his hand,

"Dear Lord please bring him back to me" she pleaded between tears. He was in so much pain he tried to move his fingers but his hand felt limp. After a few moments of fighting his own body, he finally returned the tight grip she had on her hand. At the exact moment she lifted her head quickly finding his eyes, he saw her take a moment to breathe as her tear-stained face glowed with happiness,

"OMG!" she jumped from her seat forgetting he was in an accident and threw her body on his, "You're awake" she hugged his body as he winced in pain, "oh shit sorry" she sat on the edge looking at him

"What happened?" he asked a little groggy, she cupped his cheek smiling,

"You're awake" she whispered, he chuckled before feeling a sharp pain that made his face crinkled,

"I know but what happened, I don't remember anything"

"At all?"

"The last thing I remember was seeing you come out the elevator at the part-" he frowned, "How did I get here? What happened to my leg?" she just stared at his beautiful face before giving him a passionate kiss, "Ana" he whispered, "What happened?" she giggled forgetting the initial questions,

"You got hit by a truck, and broke your leg in 3 places" she stroked his face as she spoke,

"I don't remember anything at all"

"Well you were drunk" she rolled her eyes, even at this time she couldn't believe he actually left in that state, he could see the worry on her face,

"I'm really sorry, and I mean for everything"

"You dot have to-"

"Yes I do, and I have a lot to tell you" he cupped her face bringing her lips to his, "Ana, I know we started off-" she shushed him,

"We don't have to do this now. When you're better"

"No, I kept so much from you from the start just let me tell you everything" he held her shoulders from his position,

"Ok we can talk only if I get to stay with you" he nodded his response.

Anabella stood, and Alexander caught glimpse of someone else in the room. It was his father. Victor was motionless, only with the periodic rising of his chest,

"Why is he here?" he asked her scooting around to give her room on his left side. Anabella paused looking at him awkwardly, she didn't want to tell him, even though he didn't like his father, no one wants to hear their parent is dying. He stared at her expectingly,

"I have some bad news", she got into the small bed next to him, "Your father has stage 4 cancer" she whispered, avoiding eye contact, she finally looked at him. He looked completely stunned, he just looked between her and him, "he doesn't have much time, the doctor said he has been going untreated that they really cant do cant do anything at this point just let him live out the rest of his days" she finally said getting in bed next to him.

Alexander remained silent he couldn't believe his father was hiding cancer from them. He wondered why they had the money, he would've gotten the best care money could buy. He shook his head feeling the warmth of her body next to his, she was still in the gown and the flared bottom took up most of the space but he wouldn't have given it up for the world.

A doctor came in to give them a rundown of the surgery, the put 2 steel rods, 2 pins and 2 screws in his leg, his recovery time would be about 10 weeks because of the bone and muscle damage, Anabella assured she would take care of him. He had to stay for a few more days so they can make sure there were no complications. Anabella laid on his chest as she drifted off to sleep, she hadn't slept in hours and the doctor did say he should rest so they both did.
