Ashina Warren

My sorrows wouldn't stop me from working and live the rest of my life worrying. All that happened has a reason why it did and am going to try to leave them behind. I have to move on with this life even though l don't know where it's leading me. As old as am l don't have a child who will inherit my properties that l worked so hard to achieve. My heart aches badly to even think about it. 

I needed few documents about the company. Since Eric isn't my heir, l needed to transfer all my properties back to my name. I had to go home and then contact a lawyer for the changes that needed to be done. 

My wife never contacted me to know what am upto since that discussion we had.l clearly knows that she does not care for me at all. Nevertheless l choose to forgive her. But l will call for the divorce for sure. We have spent many years as husband and wife. Anyway it's not like l can bring back the hands of time.lf l could, l will have stopped my father from forcing the marriage on us. And this a lesson to learn by the way. And of God gives me a chance and get kids before my time is up in this world, l won't force them to marry the person that they don't love. This kind of betrayal hurts like being thrown into hell fire. 

Once l reached home, l went to my study for the documents. I needed to have a word with Eric before making another decision.So l decided to break the news to the twins today. I was about to knock on his door. But my hand froze in the mid air. I couldn't  do so when l heard the conversation inside. I was so settled and panicked at the same time. No way was this happening. Like seriously :::.... 

"Am sorry but my heart belongs to someone else. To another man and he is none other than your dad. "

The words rang in my ears repeatedly that for a moment l didn't know what to do. I stood at the door completely dumbfolded. What is really going on????? I couldn't help but ask inwardly. 

Okay that is another heart attack. Ashina broke up with Eric because she has feelings for me. I couldn't help but thinking about it again and again. What does she mean?

Now come to remember the first time we met she was looking at me with lust. Even though she is too beautiful like an angel, l pretended that l didn't understand the meaning in her eyes. Am a handsome man l can't deny that. And many women have been on their best efforts to seduce me. 

But am a one woman gentleman. I have been nothing but faithful to my wife. Look what l get in return. Betrayal!Seriously!.Honestly speaking l avoided her because of her age and being friends with my Edina. And being in a relationship with Eric, l never knew it until today. 

The window of my study is facing the garden. I was still pacing in the study confusingly when l heard a commotion down in the garden. Edina was furious quarrelling with Ashina and Eric stood at the side saying something. 

I went outside the house straight to the garden. But l guess l was late. Ashina was holding her cheek crying bitterly. For some Un known reasons l felt bad seeing her in that condition. 

And before l could outter a word, she fleed towards the gate. 

What happened? I asked Edina and Eric pretending to be ignorant about anything. 

Edina looked at me suspiciously and later asked;Dad do you have anything going on with my best friend? 

No! What is it? I inquired. Eric and Edina gazed at each as if contemplating of telling me or not. She damped me now professing to have feelings for you. Eric said through gritted teeth. I don't know it must her one sided love but l have never promised her or do anything that gives her hints of love from me. I responded after a little silence. 

That bitch. She want to become my step mother. I thought she was my friend but l think she was aiming at you dad. Edina spoke with anger. 

It's okay the both of you may be after some time she will come to her senses and come back to apologize. I coaxed the two of them. In fact my mood was chaotic. My wife needs a divorce and then a young girl comes out confessing her love for me bravely. Should l be happy about it? Or it may be a trap. 

After having few more words with Edina and Eric, l went back in my study to deal with my work. But l couldn't concentrate. My mind could only remember the girl's words the looks she gave on our first meeting. 

The day went quickly and l was just like that. The next day after lunch l was at my company dealing with work related issues when l received a call from Mr. Warren. I thought that he will talk business because we had signed a corporation contract recently. But he instead asked me the where abouts of his daughter. 

Ashina Warren has apparently been missing for one day and half and it's all because of me. What's going on in this little girl's head? 

I ended the call after informing him that l don't have anything to do with his daughter. I promised to check her whereabouts for him.Am not scared of him but l don't want to create enemies especially with my business partners. 

I immediately thought of checking where she is  so l called for my detective to do the work. It's easy for him to check things out. Ashina is just girl she wouldn't go far away from home. At most she is hiding somewhere. May be with friends. I left for home. 

I called Edina to get some information about her. But she only have Edina as her friend. We called her number and it was switched off.

What happened to her dad? Edina asked looking at me. With the look in her eyes, she is just curious of why l ask the information not concerned that something might have happened to her best friend.

She run away from home. It has been a day and half. Her parents are worried. The contacted me to inquire about her whereabouts. I answered her calmly.

What trick is she playing Edina furiously asked. Am not sure either l replied her.

I sat in the living room waiting for the news of Ashina's whereabouts but it never came to almost four hours.

It was when started to get dark when the detective told where she is. A motel. I quickly went out of the house. Edina and Erick where not in the living room or any where in my sight of view.

It was an hour drive from my house to the motel. Asking for her room number was as easy as eating ants. I knocked on the door and it opened after few seconds. 

The girl stood in front of me suprise evidenced I into her eyes.
