Frank could see the question in his searching eyes as he stood beside his mother. His brown eyes that was almost hazel was looking at him with keen interest which only reminded him of himself when he was little and very much curious indeed but other than that, he can't seem to find any other resemblance of his on the little boy.
Daniel was brown skin and fairly handsome with full lips. He was not more than five, yet he looked like he was older than his actual age.
Frank didn't bother to look at his birth certificate that he was presented with. All he wanted was the paternity test results.
He walked over to wh
**"Hello lovebirds"Both Aria and Frank had raised a questioning brow at her direction not sure if she was referring to them or not.Sandra reached forward and pulled out a chair for herself and settled down beside them on the table with a smile sprayed across her face.Aria knew she was the same lady they had met at the book launch and also the same one who also happened to be Frank's ex fiancée. What she couldn't understand was her reason for inviting herself over to their table and even worst, acting as though she was welcomed.Frank on the other hand looked more than just bothered by Sandra's presence at their table. He was visibly enraged even though he hasn't said a word to her. The little twitch and unconscious tapping of his left foot against the tiles floor was like a ticking bomb waiting for explosion.Aria had noticed the cynical look in her eyes t
"I guess you have confirmed the test result for yourself as well?" Sandra's eye narrowed with amusement as she sat across from a fuming Frank who arrived at her table not long ago."Just cut the crab and tell me why!_why now? Why did you keep him a secret until now"She gave a careless shrug and just leaned back against the chair."You can say it's because Daniel has grown up to realize that Samuel is not his real Dad or that I want to be a good mother to our son by telling him the truth. It hasn't been easy keeping him a secret all these years you know?""A good mother you say? How did you raise him for five years while another man was claiming to be his father? That sound like a terrible mother to me if not despicable" Frank spat angrily at her.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared into her calculative ones.All he could see was the lies that lay bare behin
It was around 40:30pm when Aria got home that evening after all the things she had to endure earlier that day. She was mentally exhausted as her mind haven't had a single rest with the thought of Frank and that woman.She couldnt even get much work done at the office as she barely struggled through most of the manuscript she was overseeing. Thank God it was Friday_she could easily go through the rest at home before monday and so she took them along with her when she closed for that day.With her brown leather bag in one hand and the file containing the manuscript in the other, she stood facing her door while struggling to insert the key through the keyhole which was proving to be difficult due to the amount of load in her arms.Still faced with the task of unlocking the front door, she accidentally dropped the key in the process as well."You have got to be kidding me right now" she groaned out in frustration."Let me get it for you"
* Aria woke up the next morning with a splitting headache as she lazily reached for her medicated glasses seating across from her right on the lamp stand before dragging herself to the bathroom to do her morning routine. She couldn't sleep throughout that night as she kept turning and tossing the length and breadth of the bed. Aria was practically restless even when she finally thought she had closed her eyes and shut off her mind and was sleeping_she woke up with a scream. She had nightmares of that woman snatching Frank away. Staring at her reflection in the vanity fair mirror that hung facing her on the wall, she pulled off her glasses and squeezed her eye lids closed for a moment. Opening it again; she could see how disoriented she was looking. Her hair was packed into a messy bun in the middle of her head. Her eyes were pretty red and swollen, thanks to all the crying from last night. Dark visible bags circl
Aria stood with wide eyes. Her mouth slightly agape as her eyes narrowed in on the unexpected scene before her.Her eyes darted from the little boy seating by the corner watching whatever he was interested in on TV while Frank stood not two inches away from the woman in red facing his butler Larry.Her eyes blink a few times as the ongoing scene registered in her mind and suddenly everyone went still like a song on a pause, every single head was turned at her direction.What was going on?Was she intruding on something?Doesn't seem like it but the presence of damn woman at his house so damn early in the morning was definitely not the kind of scene she was hoping to come home to.She took a step closer and stood before Frank. Her expression giving her thoughts away as she low key asked him what could be going on and why in the world was that woman in his house.Did she spend the night there?"Look who
* Aria stood by the window with a slight frown on her face as she watched Sandra pulled her son towards her red Sienna car. Aria would truly hate to think that she was an awful mother to the kid but she couldn't help but think she was being that way because of the situation she was involved in. She was still deep in thought when she felt Frank's arm wrapping around her from behind as he began to place light feathery kisses along the side of her neck while biting slightly at her earlobe and causing a wave of shiver to explode down her spine. Moving her neck to the side to give him more space. he continued to trail hot kisses down her jawline before turning her around to nimble on her lip. Aria seemed to have forgotten the worries in her head a while ago as she continued to moan and melt against him like hot chocolate. Her knees were wobbling on the floor before Frank carried her over to the chai
** (written in Henry's POV)I placed a little knock against her door and just kept waiting. I know she is in there. I saw her come in earlier so am pretty sure she is around.I thought I even heard laughter from in there.I waited for another more minutes and before I heard footsteps approached from inside. I quickly pushed myself off the wall as I straighten up a bit and even adjusted my collar. I don't even know why I bother when she won't even notice.The door finally came apart to reveal a pretty face staring back at me and it wasn't Aria.Was I at the wrong door?Can't be_have been here countless time so who is this lady? Well before I could ask who she was, she threw the same
The moment Henry walked out the door. Aria turned to her friend with a knowing look as if to say 'start talking'"What?" Asked Lizzy faking ignorance"You know what Lizzy. Do you want me to ask or you will just save me the stress and just tell me?""I should be the one asking the questions Ari, not you" she countered back."And why is that?" Asked Aria with a raised brow."How come you didn't tell me you have a real life Idris Elba for a neighbour huh" she snapped back."An Idris what?""You know, the movie star with a body to die for?""Yes I do actually but how is he my neighbor?" Still confused.Lizzy couldn't help but shake her head at her best friend clueless act."Are you blind Ari? Didn't you notice that chunk of a man that just left your apartment?"Aria looked over h
