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

*Frank was still deep in thought when he felt his phone vibrating and followed by Aria's name popping into the screen. He didn't bother to read it but instead_ he flipped the screen over.He walked around his table and settled down on his seat with a deep scowl on his face. The cracking sound within his palm only announced his level of anger when he unknowingly snapped his pen into two without realizing it.The last time he was that enraged over sometime was when he was left without a bride. He swore never to feel that way again until Aria creep into his life and eventually took over his heart as well.His anger was directed more at that bastard who took advantage of her meekness for weakness.Frank knew right from the onset that he was up to no good around her. The sinister look in his eyes whenever Frank would notice him looking at her has always been prove enough to dislike the guy with every fiber in his bone.Two hours la

Aria waited with anxious feet back at her office. she kept glancing at her phone for anything that indicate that Henry has actually had a talk with Frank but nothing.She waited another whole hour with no single call or text from neither the two before she finally ran out of patience and decided to take the initiative and call Frank's number but it was busied just about immediately.The thought of redialing was left hanging as she was no longer sure of what could be going on.Maybe Henry is still yet to go talk to Frank she thought with a deep sigh as she leaned back against the chair with too many thought rushing through her mind.Aria couldn't help but feel like a fool for trusting Henry to do this one thing for her as she kept blaming herself for being so vulnerable and dependent on someone who doesn't even know the gravity of how she truly feels about loosing Frank.She glance at her wrist watch and realized that it was almo

Henry's POVMy face hurt like i have just been hit by a moving truck. I think it's broken even but everything is worth the pain.No pain no gain right?You might think am a psychopath for doing all I have done but what choice do I have? In life you fight to get what you want and everything is fair in love and war.Did I feel pain when Frank had hit me? Of course I did and it took everything in me not to fight back. I could already see how it will all end for the both of us.I let him win in order to claim the prize. He made it easier than I thought he would. All I had to do was provoke him enough to hit me and it worked like magic.Aria showing up right when she did was the universe way of patting me on the shoulder.Yes I do deserve it no matter what you might think or say_even though I feel like shit with my swollen face_my heart is gladden beyond doubt because I know am this close to winning her over.Ari

Aria was back in her apartment feeling like a huge load has just been lifted off her shoulder as she lay coiled up in the cushion like a ball.It was just a few minutes after 9pm_Aria's head was filled with thought of Frank as it kept flooding her mind and drowning the little voices in her head telling her to call him and talk it out.She hates the fact that he didn't believe her and even more that she couldn't do anything to prove her innocence.Aria was heart broken with the way things have gotten and wished she had had that talk with Henry earlier than now because none of what was going on would have happened.A single tear roll down her cheek even though she promised herself not to cry again. She just couldn't hold it in no matter how hard she tried.She let her arms slipped around her petite figure in a bid to comfort herself as she was visibly shaking even though the room was pretty warm. She missed having Frank look at her so l

Frank was too tired to fight back or break free from the tight grip around his arm as he finally allowed himself to be pulled back on his feet before being led away towards the stair ways leading up to his bedroom.He only had to take two staggering steps before he missed the next step and went crashing down towards the floor but instead of landing on the floor as expected, he landed on another body which lay beneath him.Frank couldn't get back up even when he tried. I mean not when he is suddenly entangled with the pound of flesh rubbing herself so well against his trigger point while getting lost in those seductive eyes that were staring at him. The more he stared into those pair of familiar eyes, the more he was getting lost in them.Shaking his head a few times to get a grip on himself, he diverted his eyes towards the couch at once before struggling to get back up but before he could do that, Frank was suddenly rolled over while she lay on to

Aria was driving in a speed of light with only one destination in mind. Her feet slip off the gas pedal a few times as she kept trying to get the car to go even faster while maneuvering through the busy lane that was filled with yellow commercial buses that were very much in her way.She needed the speed but no matter how much she pumped the gas, it still couldn't go any faster than she already is. Her nose flared in anger as her grip tighten a little more around the steering wheels.The nagging desire to bang her head against the steering at some point just to ease the frustration swelling up in her chest when another bus had crossed her lane without any notice was getting stronger.Her throat burn in anger as tears threatened to stink her eyes but yet no tears made it down her cheeks. she was too upset to allow her emotions to spill over which only reminded her to keep calm with every deep breath she took.She couldn't wait to do the

Frank has never felt so anxious in his entire life before as he sat there waiting for the doctor to finish reading through the file in his hands before having that talk with him.As the clock tick by with no respond from the doctor who seemed to have forgotten he was even there_had Frank feeling more anxious than ever.He couldn't believe he was seating right there at that moment while the doctor was taking his bloody time to speak to him about what could possibly be wrong with Aria while on the other hand_ he could have been seating right beside her bed and making sure she is really alive and well."Doctor? Do I have to seat here all day or you are actually going to explain what could be wrong with my girlfriend" he paused for a bit before taking a deep breath to collect his racing thought. "..Is she going to be okay or do I have to take her to another hospital"The doctor only shook his head as he reached over and place the file agai

Aria sat against the bed with both her hands grabbing the sheets hard. Her nose flared in anger with her heart breaking in the worst way ever.She was pregnant and alone!The word alone was scary enough but she wasn't going to allow herself fall apart just yet. She needed to be strong for the little soul growing right inside of her even though it likely going to end up without a father.She let her arms circled around her midrib as she began to bawled even more into the sheets covering her laps over and over again.Aria sat in that same position for a while before she felt two strong arms wrapped around her in comfort.The relief that overcame her was immediate and so overwhelming as she quickly leaned back into his arms a little more with her eyes closed.She let him hold her for a while with neither of them saying a single word before a thought crossed her mind."Why did you come back?" She asked through hiccups and sn

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

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

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
Wings Of Change ~psycopath ~
*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
