A loud phone ringing voice interrupted the beautiful, peaceful sleep of the lovely couple on the bed in each other arms.

Samantha nuzzled into Johnson warm chest as she heard the phone ringing in her room which is disturbing the couple from their peaceful sleep.

​​

Johnson turned around as he hugged Samantha listening to the phone ringing sound.

Johnson opened his eyes and looked at Samantha nuzzling her head in his chest as she the phone ringing which is disturbing her.

Johnson looked at the sound and saw Samantha's phone ringing on the bedside table.

Johnson slowly grabbed her phone from the bedside table without disturbing Samantha again.

He saw the unknown number on her screen. Johnson frowned as he looked at the screen.

"Samantha." Johnson called as he shook Samantha.

"Umm... " Samantha replied as she tried to open her eyes.

"Your phone... It's ringing for a while." Johnson said.

"Keep it aside... I don't want to take any calls now. I am sleepy." Samantha replied making Johnson chuckle.

"Maybe it's important. Answer it and then sleep. No one will wake you up again." Johnson said as he kissed Samantha's forehead making Samantha smile brightly.

"Fine." Samantha replied as she got up from the bed keeping her headboard.

Samantha took the phone from Johnson's hands and frowned looking at the screen as its unknown.

Samantha sighed as she swipes her fingers answering the call.

"Hello, Samantha Julie speaking." Samantha said on the phone and the reply from the other side made her widened her eyes.

Tears started falling down from her eyes as soon as she answered the call.

Johnson frowned and sat up straight as she saw tears rolling down from Samantha's eyes.

"Samantha." Johnson called as she shook her.

"What happened?" Johnson asked as Samantha dropped her mobile from her hands as a loud sob came out of her mouth.

"Samantha." Johnson called loudly and Samantha looked at him with tears.

"What happened, Samantha?" Johnson asked as he wiped her tears away from her eyes.

Just then, a loud knock on the door interrupted them.

Johnson looked at the door and then Samantha who is still crying. Again, a loud banging sound made Johnson look up at the door.

Johnson got down from the bed and walked towards the door.

He opened it and saw Alexi, Liam, Noah, and Andrew on the door.

"Sam." Alexi said as a tear rolled in her eyes.

Alexi moved Johnson aside and stepped inside the room looking at Samantha.

Alexi ran towards Samantha and hugged her tightly while Samantha sobbed in her arms.

A tear falls down from Noah and Andrew as they both saw Samantha crying.

"What's going on? She got a call a few minutes back and that's it." Johnson asked with a frown.

"Annie is no more... She passed away with Cardiac Arrest a few hours back." Noah answered making Johnson eyes widened.

"What?" Johnson asked with his eyes wide.

"Yes... We just got a call too." Andrew answered.

"Peter... Peter... How is he?" Samantha asked with tears as she got up from the bed.

"He is downstairs..." Samantha didn't let Noah finish and started running downstairs.

Everyone followed her. Samantha runs downstairs and looked at Peter crying on his knees as she got down from the last stair.

"Sam..." Lucy said looking at Samantha with tears as she hugged Peter.

Samantha slowly walked towards them with tears kneeling down in front of Peter.

"I... I... I lost... Her." Peter said as he cried out loud.

Samantha cried as tears fall down from her eyes.

Cassandra walked around and kneeled down hugged her daughter tightly to her chest while Samantha sobbed in her arms.

A tear falls down from Damon eyes as he looked at Peter and Samantha.

Even if Damon wants to adopt Peter he doesn't want Peter and Annie to be apart from each other but he didn't expect this to happen. Not so soon.

Annie just signed the adoption papers yesterday and Damon, Lucy was on cloud nine.

Damon still remembers what Annie said to him and Lucy when to meet her.

"Thank you so much for coming in front for adopting Peter. I don't expect you guys to adopt him after what Leo did to Samantha. I hope, you take good care of him and love him as your own son." Annie said to Damon and Lucy.

"Calm down... Peter." Lucy said with tears.

"How... She... She left me too." Peter said with a loud sob.

"Sam, calm down... We can't do anything." Cassandra said to Samantha and she nodded as she wiped her tears away.

Samantha looked at Peter and again a tear falls down from Samantha's eyes.

She wipes her tears away and looks at Damon and Liam.

"Can you look after the funeral preparations?" Samantha asked Damon and Liam.

"Yes." Liam answered and Damon nodded his head.

Liam and Damon walked out of the house and Samantha walked towards Peter kneeling down in front of him.

"Peter... She was one of the strongest women... We really appreciate her braveness... But, we can't help with this. She left us... We can't do anything now. We just have to pray her. So, she rests in peace." Samantha said and Peter looked up with tears.

Lucy moved aside and Peter hugged Samantha. They both cried in each other arms as Annie was so close to Peter and Samantha!

"I am sorry... " Samantha said with tears as she hugged Peter tightly.

"I am so sorry!" Samantha replied again with tears.

"You should be strong. For her... For yourself." Samantha said as she cupped Peter's face in her hands and he nodded.

Samantha wiped his tears away and hugged him again.

Later, Samantha got up from her feet and walled upstairs... Seeing her in tears, Johnsom followed her upstairs.

Samantha reached her room and falls on her knees crying out loud.

Johnson walked towards her and kneeled down in front of her hugging her tightly.

"Cry as much as you want... Let it out." Johnson said making Samantha sob in his arms.
