บท 33: CHAPTER 33
Enjoy your day guys.
Aria's mother was at her ex-husband's company. She was the one CEO there. She was the one managing all the property owned by ex-Husband who was Aria's father. It was his wealth that she and Aria's stepfather were living on. It was his money that they were spending on the campaign and other activities.
Aria's mother was wearing a lovely African dress which was gown. She dressed like a really politician wife. She used a long scarf to cover her neck and wear a turban on her head. She was walking at the walkway with a young lady who was her personal assistant.
"You have a meeting around twelve pm, ma. The meeting is schedule for the investors that are coming from England" the young lady was holding a book, and reading out her schedules for the day.
"You also have a meeting around three pm. That is with the board of Directors. The meeting will hold from three to six pm—"
"Three clock meeting should be rescheduled, I won't be available. I have a meeting to attend with my husband and this is important than anything" Aria's mother said as the lady was talking. The lady closed the book, and looked at her.
"But ma, this is fourth time the meeting is going to be rescheduled. I think you should give it chance this time. The meeting is to talk about the annual report of the company" she said in cool tone.
"For me to have been postponing the meeting that mean it's you that don't look for available time to put it"
"I tried Ma" the lady silent for few second.
"Ma, the political activities of your husband is taking most of your time than the company activities. That is why we are having issues with this meeting. This is annual general meeting and we haven't done it" Aria's mother stopped walking, and faced the lady.
"So are you expecting me to leave my husband's career for the company? Or which side are you expecting me to be more active?" Aria's mother didn't have time for the company or anything. It was her husband she was after and running helter-skelter for.
"I am sorry, Ma" the lady quickly apologized.
"Think of available time, and reschedule the meeting to—"Aria's mother was talking while a text message entered on her phone.
"DON'T LET THE LADY ENTER WITH YOU, MA" she read the text. They were standing at the front of her office and about to go in.
"You should go back, I have a visitor in my office" Aria's mother sent the personal assistant back. The lady obeyed that, turned back and going to where they were coming from.
Aria's mother continued walking. She opened the door of her office silently and entered. She met Shadow inside as she entered. He was sitting on a chair, and crossed his legs. He was the one that texted her.
"Good day, Ma" Shadow said. Aria's mother entered into the desk, and sat down on the chair.
"Shadow, welcome" Aria's mother said in cool tone. Nobody used to know how Shadow used to walk or how he used to get to their vicinity. If Aria's mother called him that they should meet somewhere being in the car or office. She would just meet him there, without having the knowledge how he got there.
"Let's make everything snappy, no time" Shadow said loudly.
"I want us to do something that will let Sani Yahaya redraw from this game so that my husband can win" Aria's mother said.
"Sani Yahaya is the strong candidate that my husband has. If he can step down from this game, my husband has been the winner"
"And what do you want Ma?" Shadow asked. Aria's mother silent, tabbing her figures on the table.
"Think of what we can do to make him step down. That is why I have you and that is why I called you. So think of what we can do" Aria's mother said loudly.
"It's always difficult for politicians to step down, unless we do it in a strong way. Do you free me to do anything I think of and which I believe it may work out?" Strong asked.
"Do anything you wish and know that it will work, that is why I have you. I just want my husband to win" Aria's mother replied.
"Okay ma, then be waiting for the result" Shadow stood up as he said.
"I will take my leave now, so take care of yourself Ma" he greeted Aria's mother with respect.
"Update me on any step you take and let it be a smart work. Even I trust you" Aria's mother said gently.
"I will ma" Shadow said, and going out. Aria's mother was looking at him going out. She placed her elbows on the table, rubbing the figures together.
"I will use my power as a woman to achieve this for you, Dominic. I love you and your happiness is mine" she was staring at his picture on the desk, talking to it and smiling.
"I am your backbone and I will always be" she rested her back on the chair, carried the bottle of wine and poured little inside the glass cup. She carried the glass, drinking and staring at the picture.

"Hold on, I am coming please" Lexie said loudly. She came down to the living room, going to the door to check who was knocking. She unlocked the door with key, pressed the handle down and opened the door.
"Grayson!" She said in cool tone. He didn't tell her that he was coming so she was surprised to see her.
"How are you, sweetheart" Grayson hugged her tightly. He was dressing lovely and cute. He was holding a nylon. He bought something for her.
"You didn't tell me you are coming. Always, come and sit" Lexie said as they separated from each other. Grayson sat down gently on the couch. Lexie sat down beside him.
"Since you have told me that you are at home, I decided to surprise you. I bought this for you" he put the nylon down on the couch.
"Oh! Thank you" Lexie showed her appreciation. She opened the nylon and brought out a lovey dress.
"Wow! This is beautiful, I love the texture" Lexie said with smiles on her face.
"It would have been my favorite if it's my best color. Is this the only color it has?"
"Not at all; it has different colors" Grayson replied.
"You should have asked for my favorite colors then. I really love this dress and I will appreciate it a lot if it's my best color. Can you change it? If you can, it will good"
"I can't change it because I love it. It's my favorite color, and that is why I picked it" Lexie looked at him as he said so.
"But you bought the dress for me, and if you want me to appreciate it, you supposed to pick the color I like" Lexie said gently. Grayson looked into her eyes, and with smiles.
"You have to appreciate it, because I love it" Grayson talked like she didn't have choice than to like it.
"Grayson, I will appreciate this because this is the first gift you will got for me. But next time, I may not accept it" Lexie said in serious tone, and she let him know that she meant what she said.
"Can you go and dress? I want to take you out" Grayson didn't say anything to what Lexie said.
"Alright, that mean I will use that opportunity to pick James from school—"
"Can't you send someone to go and pick him or the school bus should do that" Grayson interrupted Lexie as she was talking.
"If I tell the school to do that, he will be the only one at home. So I think we should pick him along and go for the outing together"
"That is crowd, I just want only you and I" Lexie looked at him. She was surprised to hear that.
"Because my son is joining us that is why you called it crowd?" Grayson saw that her looked had changed.
"I don't mean it like that, don't mind my manner. I just want it to be two of us" he said.
"I am sorry; maybe it will be another day. My son will close soon, and I must go and pick him. So, since you said you want only you and I, that mean it will be another day" Lexie put the dress down and stood up.
"Let me get you something to drink" she said and going to the kitchen. She didn't even wait for him to respond.
Lexie entered the kitchen, standing at the front of the fridge.
"It's obvious that he won't give my son the father figure I want for him" she started talking to herself.
"And I can't marry any man that doesn't care about my son. I can't" she said out loudly. She opened the fridge, brought out a drink. She took two glass cups, and going out.
