Thirty more minutes and he arrived at her place and walked up to her door and stopped when he overheard voices from inside.
Realizing who it could be, his stances changed almost immediately as he gave a sharp knock and having realized that the door wasn't exactly locked. he pushed against it and went inside.
The scene before him wasn't exactly as he had imagined it to be as he found Aria seating across from Henry, her head thrown back and laughing at whatever nonesense he was saying to her.
The chattering voices came to stop as both head turned to stare at him when they noticed his presence, with shock clearly written on both their faces.
"Frank!" Aria had exclaimed before she got up on her feet and rushed to his side.
"Sorry to interrupt your little moment but I needed to come see my girlfriend"
Sarcasm was clearly evident in his voice as he turned and glared at Henry who only cleared his throat and got back his feet
Henry's POV I couldn't help but lean back against the door the moment I walked out. Eavesdropping is not my thing but I was curious to find out what that guy really thinks of me. I am no fans of his so I don't expect him to be any one of mine. We are clearly not on the same page even though our choices in women are such a coincide. "I don't mean to sound controlling but I don't want that guy around you especially not behind closed doors" I heard him snapped at her making every hair on my body stand up straight as I reached back for the door knob to push my way back in only to realize that I'd be overstepping my bounds. Darn!
Weekend came rather quickly as it had both Aria and Frank dressed in a matching white polo shirt on a blue jean while waiting for Sandra to show up with Daniel as planned before they can all set out for his mother's residence.Sandra showed up with Daniel after a whole hour of waiting as she kept adjusting Daniel bag pack with a scowl."Remember what we talked about okay? Be a good boy and i will come get you later" he repeated to her son over and over again."Okay mom"She gave him a kiss across the cheek before Frank pulled him close."I will give you a call when we get back" Frank told her and she answered with a nod.The sun was shining like never before when they finally set out on their journey toward Ikeja from the island.It was a long drive to the Okoji's resident given how heavy traffic was at the moment.Aria was nervous as she sat in the passenger seat but she had to be reminded that, this day wasn
*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
Ever since the incident that happened with Daniel, Sandra has made sure to keep her son away from anything that has to do with Aria. She was either around to keep an eye on him or she won't let him close to her at all.Frank on the other hand was starting to have this growing need to be with Daniel and for that reason, He too was starting to spend time with Sandra without even realizing it.Frank has somehow managed to get her to agree to allow him have Daniel over at his place at least once or twice in a week.After closing from work that Friday. He decided to dropped by at Sandra's apartment to pick Daniel just as he had promised.He has been there a few times so he knows the route by heart. The door was wide open when he arrived and after knocking with no reply, he let himself in.The living room look pretty disorganized with toys littered all around on the floor and trail
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
