Aria later supported Henry to arrange the clothes inside the wardrobe, and did the other cleaning together. The room had been glowing and everywhere in the room had been properly arranged as Henry wanted it. The day had changed and it was evening already.
Since morning that Henry had arrived, he didn't step out from his room. Maybe to just go downstairs and spent sometimes with his family. Even before they would finished arranged the room and did the cleaning, they had tried.
Henry was lying on the bed; rest his chest on a pillow and on a video call with his girlfriend. His girlfriend was a firm actress and among the famous actress in industry. She was in a location, shooting a movie. She was the one that called Henry on video call, told him to stay with her on video that the place was so boring for her. Two of them had been on video call for the past two hours, that Henry was watching nothing than the activities going on in the location.
"Baby, you are back. The makeup is still in your face, are you going back?" Henry asked and as he was staring at his girlfriend.
"Still have like two scenes to shoot" she said as she sat down on a chair and rest her back. The name of the lady was RILEY.
"Well done baby, I hope you have eaten. They have given you food?" Henry was talking when Aria came out from the bathroom, and wearing a long nightwear gown. She had been inside the bathroom since just all because she was shower.
"Do anything you want silently, I am on call" Henry said silently to Aria and as he used his left hand to cover where the speaker is in the phone.
"This place is so boring, everyone here is so irritating" Riley said, carried a small bottle and drinking the juice that she poured inside it. Riley was yellow in skin tone, normal in stature and beautiful in her own way.
"You are still on this call. Don't even see the person that you are talking with, just different people working that someone is seeing" Aria was saying as she was walking to the bedside. She climbed the bed, lying beside him and pulled her face to his phone.
"Oh, she has showed up" Aria said and moved more closer to Henry. Henry looked at her and quickly focused to Riley.
"She is beautiful with the makeup. Hope she is beautiful like this without the makeup" Aria didn't keep her mouth shut, just continued talking and asking irrelevant questions.
"Why is her surrounding like this? Is she an actress and is she in a location? Because I use to watch behind the scenes and this is how their environment always looks like. Answer me now, is she?"
"Can you just keep quiet, and leave this place" Henry said with loud voice and he had covered the speaker.
"Go and sleep or get yourself busy with something" Aria looked at him as he said so and she had got angry. The way she was talking she didn't allow Henry to even hear what Riley was saying.
"You are carried away, is anyone there with you?" Riley asked and looking at him.
"Nobody is here. I just looked at the laptop that I am charging maybe it's full" Henry replied and moving the cameral round the room.
Aria got down from the bed, walked to the another side of the bed and climbed on it. She lay on the bed, drew the blanket to herself and used it to cover her body. She made herself comfortable, facing the wall and wanted to sleep.
"What are you doing?" Henry said silently to her, but Aria did as if she didn't hear him speaking.
"Love, let me call you back in few minutes. It's like a maid is at the door" Henry lied just to hang up from the call. He put the phone down as he pressed the red button, and faced Aria.
"Hey! Hey!! What are you doing? Sleeping on my bed" He said as he drew the blanket down from her body.
"What happen? Where am I supposed to sleep?" Aria said with low voice as separated her hands.
"On the floor, that is why I put two blankets on the chair for you. Spread one on the floor and use the second one to cover your body---"
"I can't sleep on the floor" Henry was talking while Aria said with low voice.
"But you have to. It's not possible to be sharing the bed with you; so from now on know that it's on the floor you will be sleeping while I own the bed" Henry said.
"Maybe we should know how to be sleeping together on this same bed or you should be sleeping on floor. I can't sleep on the floor, I will be having body pain" Aria said.
"I should sleep on the floor in my own room" Henry said with loud voice, and looked at her with a kind of look on his face.
"Oh!!" Aria did and yawned at the same time.
"I am feeling sleeping. You know what, put your head at where my legs are and let's do it vice verse like that. Let's be sleeping like that. But if you know you can't, maybe you should be sleeping on the floor—"Aria was talking when she yawned again.
"Let's do that, good night" Aria felt asleep. Covered herself with blanket and scattered her body on the bed.
"Seriously, you mean I should sleep on the floor—"Henry was talking while he heard Aria snoring.
"Huu! Huu!!" Henry did with regret and as he looked at Aria. He picked one of the blankets on the chair with anger and laid it on the floor. He picked his phone with the second blankets and lay on the floor. He unlocked the phone, and calling his girlfriend back.
*********
The man who was the opponent to Aria's stepfather was with their party chairman and at the chairman's office. The man was sitting on one of the chairs at the front of the old man. The old man had have grey hairs all over his body and with his looks, he had been over 60years of age.
He was the most powerful man in the country and a popular politician that people know. He had been one of the presidents of the country before, and now a popular party chairman. Nobody can dare to wave away his order or authority and his party was a kind of party that politicians always wished to join.
"I have called Shadow, he will be here soon" the old man said with gentle voice.
He carried the bottle of Hennessey and pouring it inside the cup. He poured little, covered it and put it down back on the table. The man was just looking at chairman and waiting for Shadow. The name of the man was Sani Yahaya.
Sound of the door opened and closed. A young man who was one of the old man bouncers entered into the office, and walked a little close to them.
"A young man is here to see you Sir, he said his name is---"
"Let him in" The man didn't allow the bouncer to end his statement before he said loudly. The bouncer turned back and leaving. The door opened again after few minutes, and the man called Shadow entered.
He was wearing white suit, including the inner shirt and the hat that he was putting on. Everything on his body was purely white, even including the mask on his face.
Nobody knows Shadow in person because he always used mask. Even the politician that he was working for, none of them had seen his face before. Shadow greeted them with respect, drew the chair out from the table and sat down on it.
"When I heard that you are in the country, I didn't believe until now I am seeing you life and direct" the old man said. Shadow was just looking and didn't utter a word.
"But we haven't called you, so why are you out?" The old man asked.
"You didn't, but another person did" he replied, and looking scary.
"How can someone called you and you will accept. That doesn't make sense" Mr. Sani said.
"You are working for us, and we are the only one you should be working for. How can someone else called you and you can't turn down the offer. You belong to us and you supposed to be with us and working with us forever" The old man said.
"Don't know that what you are trying to do is dangerous to you and to us. We own you and you belong to us"
"It's anyone that first called me out that I will work for. This is business, and always accept it" Shadow said.
"But this is not trading, and that is why you should be wise. You can't be working with us for many years, know all the secret of this party and say now you want to go to another person. It's not possible, and it can't be possible"
"Listen to me Shadow, go and terminate that your offer with that person. Terminate the offer, and come back to us" the old man said.
"With all due respect Sir, the offer cannot be terminated. I serve the first person that first called me out. Also, no any law or contract that bond two of us together or says I should be working with you for life" Shadow replied, and got up on his foot.
"The secret of this party remains undisclosed, Sir and trust me with it. That is just the law 'First comes, first serves' nothing to do" he said with respect.
"I will take my leave now" He turned back and walking out of them.
"We need to do something Sir. Party needs Shadow" Mr. Sani said as the door closed. The old man just carried the glass up, rolled it with his figures for some seconds and drank it once.
