Chapter 6

“Oh…..grand ma it is just that he has been working late most of the days and I was afraid to stay at the house alone. I feel so lonely, do you mind if I stay for some days?”  Nora thought that after a few days, she would have found her own place and she would comfortably move out and fend for herself. It shouldn’t be that difficult if she had made her mind to leave Daniel.

“In that case you are welcomed to stay as long as you need to “Lucy said.

Then again the door opened and Natasha Wilson came in. Natasha was Daniel’s mother and she also thought that Nora was a good woman. She adored her and never agreed with what Daniel was doing.

At her age, she was still a celebrity who tuned heads whenever she passed on the streets. Both the woman and her husband were blessed with good looks. No wonder Daniel was so perfect in every way possible. Women would lust after his looks whenever he went.

“Hello Nora” she greeted as she kissed her on the cheeks.

“Hi Natasha, it is good to see you” Nora forced a smile on her face, she knew that Natasha was a keen, observant woman and she could definitely tell that something was wrong.

“I brought some sea food from the market and I was going to prepare it for dinner. Hurry up and go put your luggage in your room, I want you to join us.” The woman already knew what happened and she didn’t want to bother Nora with so many questions. Besides, she didn’t want to discuss with her in to details because Lucy was also there.

 Nora took the opportunity and went straight to their room. It used to belong to Daniel but now it was all empty and void without his presence, any way she will get used to it. His scent was everywhere, reminding her of what she has decided to leave behind. Whenever she looked around, there were his things.

She took his coat and smelled the cologne in it, it has been awhile since it had been washed but still the scent was so strong, so addictive just like her love for him. She felt that this love for him would take centuries to go away but she will fight with everything she has got to be free of him.

Staying in the room wasn’t going to be easy but she will be strong. She was determined to move on and make herself happy even without Daniel, he wasn’t the air that she breathed.

After Nora left, Natasha took her phone and called his son” Daniel, come to the house this moment. What the hell did you do to your wife? I really ask myself if you are really my son. Why are you this heartless?” His mother’s angry voice could be heard clearly over the phone.

Daniel frown his face in disgust, he couldn’t believe that Nora went and reported him to his mother when she was the one who asked for a divorce. The woman was so shameless, after clinging to his side for all those years, what else did she want from him?

 But what was wrong with Nora?

“Mother, I am busy now. I don’t think I will be able to make it” Daniel said over the phone. It happened that he had gone to visit Aria in her house. And the woman was lying on his laps listening to what his mother was telling him.

After Nora left he felt angry, he needed to talk to somebody and he knew that Aria will listen to him. She was good in that department and she had made him feel good in the past. He wanted someone to pour out his heart to. Living with someone for 3 years and then she suddenly wakes up and request for a divorce was a little overwhelming for him. He didn’t even understand why.

Aria knew that Natasha hated her but that will never make her give up on Daniel.

“I don’t care, I just want you to appear in front of me or I will go and tell your grandmother everything. Don’t think that I am stupid. I know that the shameless woman came back and that is why you are stressing your wife.”

Daniel knew that his grandmother had a heart condition and so it wasn’t good for her to receive such news abruptly. He couldn’t believe that his mother was threatening him with this, his face got so dark and he wondered if his mother ever loved him.

However he had no choice” I am on my way” he said and cut off the phone conversation with his mother immediately.

Aria didn’t like Natasha’s insults but in front of Daniel she was going to act. That was the only way of actually capturing his heart all over. His family will one day regret ever looking down on her like this. She will step on all of them when she had managed to become Daniel’s wife.

Daniel wore an apologetic expression as he explained that he had to go right away “Aria, I am sorry I have to go, my mother requires my presence immediately.”

The woman put on a pitiful face “I understand but please come as soon as you have finished with her. You know I have missed you this 3 years and I need your company more than she does. Nora has already had her time with you and now it is my chance. Remember you promised to leave her so that we can get married. “

He caressed her jaw and looked at her lovingly” just wait for me patiently, I will come back soon”

She nodded obediently as she muttered coquettishly “In that case, I will be patient, just make sure that you convince Nora to divorce you so that we can get married soon, I can’t wait for us to start a family of our own. You have to believe me, I really didn’t mean to come in between your marriage but I need you” she said with a sweet voice.

“I will have good news very soon, please try not to think about it too much, it is not good for your health.” Daniel kissed the tip of her forehead and then left.
