He stared on for a few seconds, finding it difficult to believe his eyes. He rubbed it constantly to be sure he wasn't dreaming but then it didn't work. He thought of something else and decided to pinch himself. He drew a portion of his skin and immediately felt the pain, yelping like a drenched dog.*Hi Jacob! What's up with you? Why are you acting all strange and weird? Are you alright?" The person asked with a confused grimace, wondering what had come over him. Jacob swallowed hard and clenched his hand into a fist. "What are you doing here? Why are you here?" He shot at her with a thick frown adorning his face. He wasn't in the least excited to see her and if he was to be honest with himself, then he wanted her to leave at once."And what sort of question is that, Jacob? Am I not welcome here anymore? As at the last time I checked, I was still very much welcome here and in your life and I don't think that has changed from the last time!" She said with an e
Jacob heaved a sigh of relief with a Smile forming on his lips the moment he heard the shutting sound of the door. He was glad that he was finally able to get rid of chastity and her unnecessary pesters. He was'nt what he would be able to do if Aria didn't arrive at the moment she did. He couldn't understand why it was difficult for her to understand that he didn't love her anymore and that he had moved on. There was nothing that was going to change that especially now that Aria was there to care for his son. It was fifee when it was onl he and his son but then he wouldn't want her to feel uncomfortable at the least by chastity's presence. He walked to one of the chairs and sat heavily on it, running his hand through his hair. Aria stood in front of him and refused to move an inch away from where she was standing. Jacob didn't notice it at first because he was lost in his thoughts but then he rose his head and was shocked to still see her standing there
As Aria stood still, listening to Bianca who did nothing but try to speak the entire while, she felt a strong urge to strangle her across the phone if only she could but then it wasn't possible one bit. . She would clear her throat and want to speak but then she would end up saying nothing. Aria kept up with it at first but then she couldn't any longer. The anger in her grew such that she felt a strong urge to cut the call on her.""Are you going to speak or you'll keep pissing me off more? I'm extremely upset at the moment and instead of trying to pacify me, you do nothing but add to it." She snapped at Bianca, taking her by surprise. She hadn't expected that her friend would get Sao upset at her."I'm sorry Aria. I didn't mean to make you upset any more. It's just that I don't know what to say. When you spoke to him about it, what did he say about it, or didn't you?" She went on to ask, rather inquisitive. Aria was silent for a minute before she brought
A knock was heard on the door just at that moment, disrupting Adrian's thought. He paused for a few seconds, wondering who it could be. He rolled his eyes with Indifference, shrugging his shoulders as well."I'm definitely hallucinating things," he thought. The knock came again and this time, he couldn't help but rise to his feet."And who's there?" His voice was thick and filled with upset. The last thing he wanted was disturbance from anyone, most especially from Aria. He pulled the doorknob at once, "what do you…" he stopped abruptly."Good day sir." A voice greeted him. It wasn't Aria as he thought. Running his hands through his head, he felt a surge of guilty sitters through him."Good morning Mrs. Evans." His voice was husk and rather unfriendly.."Good morning sir. I'm sorry to bother you but are you perhaps busy sir?" He was confused and found her question weird.His creased brows, "No, I'm not so busy. Why do you ask?""I was
Aria was speechless and couldn't get the right thoughts through her head no matter how hard she tried. She didn't know what to say even though that was exactly what she wanted."Are you sure you're not wrong about this, sir?* She went on to ask, trying to be sure. She wasn't ready to her excited only for it to appear false later on. She remained still as she awaited Words from him. "And am I a child that I do not know what I want and what my heart wants?* His voice was soft and filled with so much affection. Aria felt euphoric, a bright Smile breaking out on her lips. She wanted to run into his arms and lock him In a tight embrace but dshr refrained from doing so and instead, bottled up the excitement she felt."Are you just going to keep mute? You're not going to say anything about it?* Jacob went on to ask. He looked pretty shy which was quite weird for a man who had had sex twice with her."Should I honest sir? Can I speak?""I asked that you s
A loud honk was heard from outside the House, alerting the both of them. They stopped abruptly, staring at each other. "I think the school bus is here already," Aria announced, her eyes Flickering continuously like it was being controlled by a switch."Are you sure about that? I don't think it's the school bus. You must have heard Wrong." He mumbled, Hesitant to leave Aria."Let me go check it out," she announced and rose from the bed without sparing a glance at Jacob who didn't seem so happy with her leaving. She turned the doorknob and sauntered down the stairs as quickly as she could. As she went, she reminisced on the moment she had with Jacob and couldn't but blush. She rolled her eyes with excitement, giggling as she went. She was almost by the floor when she heard a knock on the main door."I was right after all. Daniel is home already." She seemed rather pleased and couldn't wait to see him. He was such a cute and adorable boy that it would be difficult for anyone not to l
Aria could swear that she had never seen Jacob as agitated as he was since she had. Known him . He seemed quite worried for his son and nothing else seemed to matter at the moment."He's going to be alright. You should calm down, sir." He stared at her for a second and could see the care and affection that sat in them. He smiled, a weak smile it was though."I know he's going to be alright. I'm just worried for him. He's too young to be going through so much pains and suffering. I can only imagine how he must be feeling at the moment.""I understand you very well and I feel the exact way you feel but we just have to be hopeful. Daniel is a strong boy. I'm sure he'll be able to overcome the pain. I'm very sure of that," Aria said in a cool and reassuring voice, placing her hands on his shoulder."You know… I feel I should have them sued for negligence!" He said suddenly, taking aria by surprise. She glared at him with a confused grimace, wondering what he was talking about."By them,
silence enveloped the room as they wondered who it was that was knocking by the door. A frown had etched itself onto Aria's face as she fixed her eyes on the door, waiting for whoever it was to walk in but no one did."I think I should go check out who it is. I don't think it's the doctor.""Yeah, I don't think so too. The doctor wouldn't linger for so long before coming in," Jacob said in agreement and immediately, Aria rose from where she sat, dragging her feet against the tiled floor. She was approaching the door when it flung open, revealing chastity.Jacob's face turned sour the moment he set his eyes on her. "What are you doing here and why are you here?" He snapped, his hands Clenched into fists. "Well well, I heard our son had an accident and immediately rushed here to see him."Jacob was confused and kinda laughed with a Devilish grin laced to the corners of his mouth. "What son? When did Daniel become a son to both of us? He is my son and not our son." His voice echoed th
Jacob burst into a long round of laughter that echoed through the Room. Aria stood still for a few seconds but soon began to feel Irritated by his laugh. He noticed she wasn't having and stopped at once."I'm sorry if that got you upset but then I couldn't help it. Didn't you say you kept him to bed before you left here?""Yes I did and I even told him why it was important he goes to bed immediately but still, he went on to do as he wanted." Daniel sat on the floor, staring at the both of them with a wide grin Laced to his brows. He couldn't understand why his nanny had such a thick frown on her face but then, he didn't look bothered by it. "But I thought I explained to you why it was important you sleep? You had a long day and it's important you relax yourself, right?""Yes, you did Nanny and I'm sorry for disobeying you but I couldn't fall asleep and I couldn't keep staring around. Decided to play with some of my toys. Did I get you upset, Nanny?" Ha asked, sounding so guilty and
Jacob couldn't help but stand still, staring at her with Great admiration. He loved the courage she spoke with but then he just couldn't get the thought that she wasn't ghim right out of his head. What did she want to do to someone who has a gun on her and can easily shoot her if pressured."Do I have anything on my face?" She asked with a frown laced to her brows, wondering why he had a long Stare fixed on her. He batted his eyes continuously and then flashed her a smile that revealed his dentures."No no, not at all. I was just admiring you. You look really cute, you know?" His voice was cool and have her goosebumps. She blushed a bit, lowering her gaze from him."Thanks for the compliment sir. You look great as well." She muttered in a low whispering voice, fiddling with her hands.Jacobs face turned sour and he appeared to be upset with her. She wanted to speak but lacked the right words to say. She cleared her throat instead and raised her head to him. "But I already told you
Jacob got into the house a few minutes after and was surprised not to find Daniel and Aria in the sitting room. He stared around for a few seconds before a thought struck him. "She must have taken him to bed already," he thought, running his hand through his head. He wondered why he hadn't thought of that before then. He was about to go up when he felt a strong urge to get a drink. He sighed, a deep sigh that revealed the exhaustion that had eaten deep into him. His eyes Flickered continuously as he found his way to the dining room where st a water dispenser. He flipped with it and immediately, water came rushing from it until the cup in his Hand had filled up.He stared at the cup for a few seconds and then gulped the content down in a few seconds. He slammed the cup on the dinning table as he remembered what the security men said to him. He still couldn't wrap his hands round the fact that chastity had come to his house with a gun. He also couldn't understand what she had come to
Aria was all smiles and full of joy as she walked inti the house with Daniel who was jumping all over the place like he had won the lottery. They both had a smile on their faces, one that made them look more radiant than they were.Daniel turned his head and noticed his father was coming along with them. His face turned sour with pouted lips."What happened to you? Why are you looking this sad?" Aria asked the moment she noticed the expression on his face. She lowered herself to his height, placing her hands by his cheeks."Where is daddy and why isn't he here already?" He looked quite Disturbed and though Aria felt a strong urge to laugh, she had to control her laughter with a bright smile Laced to her brows."Don't tell me you miss your dad already? We've been here only for a few minutes and without him. Come on, he'll be here soon. I'm sure he's trying to get something fixed out there.""Are you sure about that, nanny?" He asked as he wasn't satisfied with the explanation she gav
Jacob stared at his son and his Nanny as they played together and couldn't help but wonder how they had managed to build such a strong bond within the short while they've been together. As he stared, he smiled and couldn't control the excitement that was sizzling through him. His doctor friend noticed the expression on his face and gave him a light tap on the shoulder."I think I should leave now. I'll have someone bring the discharge documents as soon as possible so we can get done with all the formalities and my big boy can go home already.""Yeah. That's so much pal. I really appreciate your effort. I should see you around, right?""Yeah, sure. I'm in the country now and you've got nothing to worry about," he assured and they both burst out laughing after Which the doctor left the room. Daniel moved his eyes to his father, shooting him a questioning look."What is it? Why are you staring at mt way son? Have I done anything wrong?" Jacob couldn't help but ask when he noticed the e
Hell hath no fury like chastity at that moment. She continued to pace through her House like she was extremely troubled. Her Hands were Clenched into fists and the expression on her face scary enough to kill anyone's morale "I think you should calm down a bit. Relax, chastity," her friend who was seated on one leg Tue Kong couches said to her in a cool relaxing voice. She could understand her but then what she couldn't understand was why she was acting like the entire world had suddenly crumbled upon her."Don't tell me to calm down. You need to see the way Jacob treated me on both occasions I went to see him.." she paused to catch her breath, deciding it was best she sat down. She was still pissed and there seemed to be nothing capable of calming her down."How did you treat you?" Her friend seemed enthusiastic to hear what happened as she had quickly adjusted herself on the chair she was seated on. A deep breath from chastity and all went silent like a solemn service was being obse
Aria became a bit uncomfortable as she stood there. She wasn't sure who it was Jacob was referring to and the very last thing she wanted to was to her her hopes up. They had only met about a few weeks and here he was discussing marriage. "I'm sure he's talking about someone else. Perhaps he has someone else he's seeing." She thought to herself, rubbing her feet together as she stood."Sir Jacob…" she called, disrupting their conversation. Jacob raised his head to her with a frown. His lips were also Pouted Awkwardly like he had swallowed a bad pill."You wouldn't stop referring to me as sir, right? I did ask that you stop it." He said and he didn't look like he was joking about it. Aria swallowed hard and managed to clear her throat."I'm sorry about that.. Jacob. Is that fine now?" "Yeah. It's more than fine. So what is it you want to talk about?""It's nothing much. I Wanted to ease myself and I didn't want you searching around for me once I'm out.. " she explained, stuttering a b
