In Love With The Heiress

Chapter 36

"No, this is a joke." She murmured. This can't be true. She thought. The images she had seen was something that couldn't be described with mere words. Franklin was in the picture, but he wasn't alone. He was with a woman and together, they were with three kids.

They were all wearing clothes sown out of the same color material. Aisha knew that this had to be family, Franklin and his family. It excluded her as it meant that she was not part of this family.

And yet throughout the five years of their relationship, Franklin had never shown signs of being with another woman.

"Driver, turn the car immediately, and go back to where we came from." Aisha wanted to shout at the driver but couldn't. He wasn't Franklin but even then, he was a man who may have betrayed so many other women.

"Driver are you deaf?!" She shouted, "Come on will you turn the car and go back?" She had to shout because to her, the driver like Franklin and all other men were alike. They could and may have all betrayed their actual partners. The driver stopped abruptly and turned the car and headed back to Franklin's law firm.

Aisha was enraged and had to go back and confront Franklin in person. She was hoping that what the pictures showed was a big fat lie. She held her breath as she kept staring at the photo. How could she not know this about him, throughout the years that they were together?

"Honey, are you listening to what I am telling you?" Franklin had just received a visit from his wife. She had come because she wanted to know what progress he was making in regards to what they had discussed.

Franklin wasn't paying attention as he was still shocked at the gun that had been pointed at him. He was deep in thought over it, convinced that Aisha had sent someone to warn him to stay away from her. But he needed money that he knew, only Aisha could give him.

He had decided to send his family abroad, with pressure from his wife, who had found out that he was betraying her with another woman. That woman she discovered, turned out to be Aisha. And so she was eager to take their three children and leave the country. By sending her and the kids abroad, Franklin had planned to stay back, hoping to continue his relationship with Aisha.

"Honey can I have your attention, please?"
"What is it, Vera?" He asked with annoyance. His wife was shocked by his response. She wasn't against him seeing Aisha since she knew about the affair. Aisha had the money and all she wanted from him, was to play his card right with Aisha, so he could get some money out of her.

"It seems you are not interested in our project anymore?" She insisted.
"What are you talking about?"
"Aha, Franklin? Didn't we discuss something?"
"Well, I almost got shot for trying my best. If you want to proceed go ahead." Franklin's wife got up and picked up her bag and left his office. Aisha had come into the studio, full of anger, headed straight for his office.

"Ehm, madam sorry but do you have an appointment?" Aisha ignored the receptionist and barged into Franklin's office taking Franklin by surprise.

"Aisha, didn't I tell you that I don't want to have anything to do with you?"

"Good, as always you know how to clean your hands and pretend like there was nothing between us." Franklin was shocked that she was still reminding him of their common past.

"Aisha since you sent your thugs to harass me, how can I even acknowledge the fact that we even had a thing for each other?"

"What about this?" Aisha put her phone down on the desk pointing to the photo. "And how do you explain this type of thuggery, Franklin?"

Franklin peered into the phone as if he was looking into a microscope. Seeing the image of himself standing awith his family baffled him. He wondered how Aisha had obtained the photos.
