The Estate was pretty large as it has other wings and quarters for workers. They met the gardener at the back heading towards their direction.
"Have you seen Daniel? My son"
"He is at the back" he answered. Pointing them further ahead.
"Why didn't you send him back to the house when you saw him" he asked the man who only offered more apologise.
"I'm sorry sir" Said the gardener again with an even more apologetic look.
Instead of wasting more time getting angry at the man. Frank took off with Aria trailing from behind.
They rounded the next block. The one farthest away from the main house and closed to the fence securing the whole building and found him bend over at the back close to some iron spike lying on the floor while rubbing at his eyes as he snob in pain.
They both rushed to his side as he turn him around to access him.
"Daniel! What happened to you?"
His right wrist seemed to be bleed

It was an awkward drive with Sandra seating in the passenger seat while dressed like a two penny stripper waiting by the side walk."Why do you have to go out dressed in this manner?" Frank had to ask out loud and earning himself an eye roll."In what manner?"He couldn't help but sigh in deeply."Look am not judging you okay? Am just trying to understand why you have to go out like this""How i choose to dress is non of your business and if you are tired of giving me a ride, just drop me after the next turn and you two can be on your way without having to deal with my presence any further" she snapped back at him and just continued chatting with her phone.Only God knows who she was texting.Frank would want nothing more than to get rid of her no doubt but he couldn't excuse the fact that she was the mother of his kid and also worry about how her

Aria sat in the passenger seat with her face turned towards the window while Henry drove towards home in silent. Her shoulders seemed to be shaking as she quietly cried out her frustration and anger.She could feel her heart squeezing within her chest over and over again as tears continued to pool at her eyes before rolling down her cheeks.He did it again.Frank has hurt her again.This time, it hurt more than she could absorb and just push aside as if it's nothing. Because the pain she was feeling at that point was real. The tears in her eyes were not fake_she was hurting like never before.Every time he did something to hurt her. She told herself to stay strong and not to cry and each time she found herself crying again.The shock inhis eyes when he realized she was watching him says it all. Frank wasn't expecting her to catch him in the veryact like s

Aria couldn't sleep through out the night as she kept drifting in and out of sleep. Her mind is obviously occupied with the thought of Frank and that other woman.She woke up the next morning with throbbing ache in her head and some part of her muscle as well which was as a result of her endless tossing and turning throughout the night without finding any peace of mind.She crawled out of bed and walked into the bathroom with a loud yawn before stretching some of her aching muscles.She didn't even bother to check her phone for messages. she was pretty sure and beyond doubt that, Frank endless messages and missed calls would be waiting to greet her the moment she does hence her need to avoid it.While in the bathroom,she tried not to look at her reflection in the mirror either while she carried out her morning routine .Aria was sure she won't like whatever would be sta

*The next week that followed_saw Frank in a different phase as he found himself buried in more work than he would have loved to indulge himself in. He barely had time to do anything else as his new work schedule had him in a tight leash.Their annual Board member meeting was coming up real soon and he has too many documents to oversee while making sure everything was perfectly in order for their new group of investors.Martha who happens to be his new Assistant was far from being efficient. In fact she was the exact opposite of what an assistant is supposed to be.He doesn't even know why he was still keeping her around but one of these days, Frank is sure to find a replacement soon enough so he can gladly transfer her to serve in another department since he can't even fire her as usual.Yup...He has changed ever since Aria happened.The thought of asking Aria for he

Aria woke up the next morning with a split headache as she grudgingly rubbed her eyes and reached for her glasses. She couldnt recall how she got to bed last night but she was grateful she woke up in it and not under a moving truck because her bones sure feels like she has been hit by one.Her headache was getting stronger by each passing second as she kept trying to recall any detail from the previous day without any luck.The last thing she remembered was someone hovering over her followed with a loud noise in the background.Her throat felt dry as she gave a loud yawn and a full stretch before she finally climbed out of bed. She was on her way to the bathroom when she heard noises coming from her kitchen.Aria took a d-turn and walked right back towards the kitchen. She stood with wide eyes as she stared at the unfamiliar figure moving around in her kitchen.She adjusted her glas

"Can you explain to me what that guy was doing at your apartment so damn early in morning? And please for the love of God_ do not lie to me. I want the absolute truth"Frank had demanded while staring at her straight in the face. His face had no expression making it more difficult for her to read. But one thing was certain, Frank was enrage. His little finger hasnt stop twitching since he pulled them out of his pocket.To think that she couldn't remember a thing makes her even nervous as she stood under his questioning gaze.Squaring her shoulder a bit, she took a deep breathe as she looked up at him and hoping with all her heart that he could see the truth in her eyes and believe her words."Henry had to stay here last night because i had a crisis even though I can't remember half of it." she explained calmly taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart."You trust him that much that you rather let him stay the night with you

1763 word(s)Published~wave of relief ~*Aria arrived very late at work that very day but was lucky not to have received any query. Her boss was still in a happy mood which was why he didn't pay mind to her rushing through the hall way like a deer before she quickly dashed into her office and locked herself in with a sigh.She settled down in her winged chair before reaching for her bag to grab her cellphone. She had sent Frank a message on her way to work and was hoping for maybe a reply but was disappointed when she checked her message box and including her WhatsApp and saw nothing.Frank must have read it through his notification without opening it. He was still furious at her and she can very much understand why as she sat there with a solemn expression and biting down at her bottom lip in anxiety.Aria realized just how careless and stupid she has been but being a cheat is definitely not one of those things and she ough

Wings Of Change ~Epilogue ~
Seven years has gone by so quickly_and nothing has changed with the Okoji's as they seemed to be growing side by side and deeper in love with each other with each passing day.Frank was still the perfect husband and father to their daughter. Even his staffs at the office could swear that he was now a better boss than what he used to be. With the new promotional policy that include a fat cheque and family trip to vacation outside the country during the holiday season was enough to make him the best employer of each year.To say everything was moving on well was an understatement. Their lives was close to being perfect.Aria on the other hand would visit her parent occasionally with her daughter so she could get to meet her cousins and grandparent. She decided to quit her job at the publishing firm at some point just so she could focus more on spending as much time with her family as she possibly could while taking up writing as a side hobby.Her litt
Wings Of Change ~soft skin ~
Thirty minutes later, Frank walked into the private room where Aria was admitted and placed little Evergreen who was still sleeping in her carrier on the sofa right beside the bed.Feeling overwhelmed and emotional, he plopped down beside her on the bed before caressing the soft skin on her cheek.The heart monitor was beeping as if it was counting her heart beat on a steady repeat. Her oxygen tube was sticking out of her nose uncomfortably. Aria chest was barely rising and falling under the sheet she was nicely tucked into.Aria looked more asleep than in a coma. Her thick mass of brown hair was brushed backward and hidden under a blue hair net to avoid getting in the way.Her skin look really pale without getting much sunlight as she has been kept in that room for way too long now. The white curtains covering the window was half drawn to allow only a bit of air into the room.Frank took hold of her IV free hand in his and gave it a little s
Wings Of Change ~not guilty ~
*Frank felt awfully uncomfortable as he sat between his mother and best friend in the nearly filled courtroom with a clenched jaw that clearly expressed his dislike for being there.He rather be home with his daughter or at the hospital with Aria but that moment was because of her and missing out on the final court hearing against her captor was not an option he'd like to consider.To think that Henry was pleading not guilty to all the charges levied against him, causes every blood running through his vein to boil with anger and the hair on the back of his neck to stand on edge.Henry has no single act of remorse in his heart not even after all he has done.Aria was in a pitiful condition because of him and it would be over his dead body to see him walk out of there, a complete free man. He already made sure of that by hiring one of the best attorney he could find.His lawyer, barrister Roland_ has assured him that Henry wasn't gettin
Wings Of Change ~bloodline ~
Frank sat with blood shot eyes as he searched Sandra's face for anything that proofs that all she had told him was nothing but pure lies from the pit of hell but the more he looked at her, the more he realized it was nothing but the absolute truth.His hands was balled into a tight fist by his side with muscles trailing the walls of his neck at the shocking revelation.Frank was beyond livid at that point as he was struggling against whatever anger that was coursing through his veins at none other than himself."How?" He growl at her."It's all started when you left for London and your father offered me a job to be his secretary. I thought he did it because of how close we were but sooner than later_I found out his real reason for doing it" she took a pause before she continued. Her eyes barely meeting his due to the shame and guilt that was all too visible to the eyes."I tried everything possible to resist him but not for long because you were go

**It's been two whole month already and Aria still hasn't woken up from her coma. Even though the doctors had assured Frank over a month back, that her chances of waking up was pretty high but even at that, she still hasn't shown any sign of waking up other than the little twitching of her hand that had occurred more than twice during his frequent visit.The doctor had explained it to be her reflexes but Frank would rather not give up on her recovery_reflexes or not. That was the only proof that she was still in there and could also hear him talking to her too.Frank made sure to visit every single day as the hospital was practically his second home at that point. He spend most of his time there beside her bed and making sure she was getting the treatment she needed.He wanted to be right there when she wakes up. The first person she looks at and have her know how much he has missed her and finally be able to see her beam her charming smile at him
Wings Of Change ~racing heart ~
Frank had arrived with Aria back at the hospital some minutes later and refused to leave her side even for a second as he was mounted protectively by the door of the theatre.Both his mother and friends stood beside him in silent. No one was willing to say any word out loud as their head was hanging low in silent prayers for everything to turn out well.They had endured so much during this few days and couldn't bear to face any more than they already had been made to go through."She will be alright man" Kelvin had assured him with a gentle tap to his already tense shoulders.Frank only gave a small nod in acknowledgement. Probably too overwhelmed to say anything as he continued to glance ahead.Lizzy stood by the far left beside Frank's mother with tense shoulders. She could barely look Frank in the eyes when she was let in as well. Her guilt was eating away at her grief.Lizzy couldn't believe she had played a part in her friend's misfortu
Wings Of Change ~contractions ~
**Frank continued to pull relentlessly at his restraint over and over again while trying to break free and reach for Aria who had passed out cold on the bed at this point.She hasn't lifted a finger since Henry had abruptly left her on the bed and hurried out the door without a word.Frank knew something has gone wrong and was dying to get to her and began dragging the chair he has been tied to across the floor in a bit to get to her. Even though he kept calling at her, he wasn't sure if she could even hear him which only fueled his need to break free.He was half way across to her when Henry returned and rushed over to her side on the bed and scooped her into his arms for a moment before placing her back gently against the bed."What's happening to her" Frank had hissed angrily at him but Henry gave no reply as his only focus was on Aria and getting her to respond somehow.He cursed under his breath a few times after he felt

*Aria has no idea how long Henry has been gone but she knew he'd be back soon and had to move faster. She hurried back to the bathroom and searched for anything sharp but found only an old toothbrush stuck at the trash can and quickly retrieved it.Breaking off the edge against the hard floor, she rushed over to the door and began to use the edge to pick the locks in hope it would come off.She could feel the hard imprint of the locks pressure, pressing against her palm but she was far from giving up.It was either now or never.She was half drenched in sweat and her own tears by the time the lock finally came off. Her joy was short lived when she felt another wave of pain shot through her and making sure to draw a wail of agony from her lips.The contraction was becoming more frequent than normal. She noticed the warm liquid trailing down her thighs and knew her water has broken.The inevitable was about to happen and
Wings Of Change ~sick bastard ~
*"So where are we travelling to" Aria had asked Henry out of the blue still munching on her chicken.A little smile creep up across his face at her question. He wasn't expecting it but he was happy she was showing interest in his proposal.He was expecting her to resist some more and not agreed readily. But either way he was eager to give a reply."We can travel to anywhere you like. Just say the word and we are out of here" he spoke enthusiastically."So you are telling me that you'd throw away your career and whole life just to run away with me?""Not exactly but for now, yes!. We can always settle somewhere and I could start up a clinic there" he explained with a thoughtful look in his eyes.Aria only replied with a small nod. Still deep in thought. She was processing a lot at that moment without giving away anything.If Henry was willing to give up everything then it could only mean one thing. He won't hesita
