"Sir, please reconsider," she had urged him, her voice laced with concern. "It's too dangerous to go alone, without your security guards. You're making yourself an easy target."

Helen stormed out of Aaron's study, her frustration reaching a boiling point. She retreated to her room, slamming the door behind her with a mixture of frustration and despair. She let out a scream of exasperation. Inside her room, Helen paced back and forth, her emotions swirling like a tempest. In a soliloquy that mirrored her inner turmoil, she muttered, "Who does he think he is anyway?" Her voice wavered with indignation. "Treating me as if I owe him something as if he can control my life."She sank onto her bed, the weight of the situation pressing down on her. The truth was, Helen hadn't secured a new job as she had let Aaron believe.Instead, she had just wanted to go as far away from him as possible.

"It’s killing me without you, Helen," Aaron said in a muffled voice. “I try, but I just don’t care anymore. One day with you is worth more to me than a lifetime without you.” Her eyes burned on him, but she didn’t say anything, and still he stared at him frowning. The hunger for him was growing in her like an obsession. She wanted him, more than she wanted her next breath. He could either live with her or without her and these past few weeks had shown him how poor the quality of life was without her. His voice deepened to a rumble, "I love you, Helen. Heck! I've loved you ever since I first saw you. I need you by my side to navigate this new life. I need you to keep teaching me everything I need to know. And above all, I need you because I love you so much, it hurts" "Then we might as well get married" She blurted out. He looked stunned; then he blinked. “Is that a proposal?”“No. It was an order.” Slowly tears filled her gray eyes, making them glitter-like and a smile began t

Chapter sixteen
Anna sat alone in her dimly lit room, the soft glow of her phone illuminating her face as she mindlessly scrolled through her social media feeds. Her once vibrant and expressive eyes were now clouded with sadness, and her radiant smile had faded into a mere memory. The room now seemed to echo with the hollowness of her heart. The wedding dress that hung in the corner served as a painful reminder of the day that had turned into a nightmare. As she scrolled through her phone, Anna's thumb hesitated over Lucas's name. They had shared so much, and yet, he had betrayed her in the worst possible way. She swiftly blocked him, determined to erase any trace of him from her life. Her mother's voice echoed from the other side of the door, asking if she was hungry. "I made Spaghetti bolognese. Your favorite" her mother called out but Anna simply ignored it. She wanted nothing to do with the world outside her room. She partly blamed her mother for the turmoil in her life right now, she partl

Aaron hesitated for a moment, his fingers trembling slightly as he held the phone to his ear. He took a deep breath, steadying himself before pressing the answer button. "Aaron, it's Anna."Aaron's voice held a trace of surprise. "Anna? This is unexpected. How have you been?"Anna felt a lump form in her throat as she replied, "I've been... not well, Aaron. I've been going through a lot lately, and I... I've been thinking about so many things."Concern filled Aaron's voice. "I'm sorry to hear that, Anna. Is there something specific you wanted to talk about?"Anna's voice wavered as she continued, "My life, Aaron, it's... it's falling apart. I can't explain it all over the phone, but I need to talk to you about something important."There was a pause on the other end of the line before Aaron responded, his tone cautious. "I see. Anna, I'll listen. I'm willing to meet with you and talk, but I have to admit I'm skeptical. After everything that's happened..."Anna interjected quickly, "I

The day had arrived for Aaron's meeting with Anna, and it coincided with an important business appointment he couldn't afford to miss. He had meticulously planned out the logistics, ensuring that he would be able to meet with Anna without drawing excessive attention to himself. That morning, as he prepared to leave, Helen lay on his bed looking like a contented cat. She watched him as he got dressed. "You sure you don't want me to come with you?" She asked. He gently placed a soft kiss on her forehead , their eyes meeting."Helen, I appreciate your support, but today, I think I can handle the meeting on my own. You've taught me all I need to know. It's something I need to handle on my own. How hard can it be anyway?" He chuckled. Helen looked concerned, "Are you sure, Aaron? I've always been there to assist you, and I don't want you to be alone if things get difficult."Aaron smiled warmly, "I know, Helen. I believe I can handle it. I promise I'll update you afterward." "Alright L
