Revenge and Redemption: Aaron's Tale of Resilience Chapter fifty-seven
Helen knew she couldn't do this alone. The worst seemed to have passed, but from now onwards, she just could not deal with all of this on her own. Just then, her phone began to ring, and seeing that Tracy was the caller, relief washed over her. “Hey,” she said. “I know it’s early but I just thought to check on you. How are things going with Aaron? Sorry, I missed your call a few minutes ago?”At the mention of his name, and her care, just when she was about to reach out to her, her throat constricted again. She couldn’t hold herself back as the sobbing began again, and it didn't stop for a while. When she calmed down, she told her all that had happened with Aaron. She listened in silence at the other end of the call. Aaron was in the middle of a supermarket trying to figure out what to buy for Helen in case she woke up. He already got a few comfy Pyjamas, and sanitary pads because she was bleeding so much when he took her to the hospital. He wondered if it was just her monthly flo

"Those pictures you saw of him kissing his wife, his ex-wife rather, she was behind those pictures. According to him, she tried to kiss him in a public place and she had planted a photographer who took the pictures." She took a slow breath and continued. "When you saw him with her, he didn't invite her over. She came to tell him that she wanted him back and when he told her he had moved on, she kissed him without his consent. Helen, I don't know what to make of all this. Aaron isn't one to be petty. He won't just lie. Please listen to him. His ex-wife has many reasons to want to come back to him. She's fighting to be with him. I think you should put up a fight too."Helen froze, the announcement jarring her into a stupor. “What are you talking about?” she breathed.She tried to recall what she saw and realized he struggled to break off the kiss. But all her brain could interpret at that moment was the fact that he was with another woman. “Aaron’s on his way right now to the hospital

Aaron was conflicted as he watched her. He stood away from her door but positioned himself in a way that gave him a clear view of her. She sat in a sullen silence, her head lowered and seemingly deep in thought.He didn’t know what to feel. On one hand, his heart burned with malice that she’d kept her pregnancy away from him, and for so long. She was now almost two and a half months along, so that meant that she had most likely been aware of the baby even before he had arrived in Chicago. Maybe it was why she had fallen sick and taken the day off when he had first arrived there. Maybe that was why she had initially tried to push him away.His head was swirling, and he didn’t know where to begin. He heard approaching footsteps and lifted his gaze to see it was a nurse. She wore a cautious smile on her face. "Sir, I'm sorry but you can't be allowed in there. The patient needs some rest and has asked for us not to let anyone in".What the hell was the nurse talking about? "Well... She

She gazed at him and from nowhere, her eyes filled with tears. A drop fell before she could turn away. “I’m sorry,” she said with a nervous laugh. “These damn hormones keep pushing me out of balance.”He gave her the time to recover and reached forward to place his hand on hers. That little gesture he could see, greatly encouraged her.“I’m not ready,” she answered. “But I doubt that I’ll ever be. And since… I’ll never consider any other options, I don’t have a choice but to be ready do I?”He was well aware of the alternative options that she was referring to. “Did you consider getting rid of the child?” he asked.“Honestly, I didn’t. Even though at the time I didn’t know if I would ever see you again. We had gotten involved and parted ways in a not-so-peaceful war” Her laugh was bitter. “I didn’t even know if I should reach you or if you may want to have anything to do with me, not to talk of a child. So no, I didn’t consider anything other than having the baby, and then you showed

He couldn't wait to get home as he'd had a hectic day.He was about to walk towards his car when a distinguished-looking man in his late fifties approached him. The man extended his hand with a warm smile and introduced himself, "Mr. Churchill, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm William Harrington." Aaron knew who he was. He was the owner of the Novelty Network and its numerous spinoff affiliates including Novelty Magazine and the Tastemakers line of licensed cookware, grimaced.Aaron offered him a firm handshake, reciprocating the smile.

Early morning sunlight seeped through the curtains, casting a warm glow in the room. Aaron lay in bed which was tangled in a mess of sheets. His phone buzzed loudly on the nightstand. He groans and reaches out, fumbling to silence the annoying sound. Some days Aaron missed the heavy landline phones. The kind you could slam forcefully to hang up on someone. Pressing a button, no matter how angrily, just didn't have the level of fuck you he looked for in ending a call like the one disturbing his sleep. It was just six a.m in the morning and he intended to sleep well into mid-morning or early afternoon. Helen was beside him, her long hair sprawled across the pillows. She stirred slowly, her hand seeking refuge under Aaron's arm. She groggily called out to him. "Baby, turn off the phone." His finger hovered over the phone's screen. He hesitates for a moment, contemplating whether to answer the call or not. The caller had been calling non-stop for the past five minutes. He finally deci

Aaron's meeting with Novelty Network CEO, William Harrington, was in twenty minutes, and he was sorted in his office. He has thought long and hard about the offer and decided that since he didn't have much office work to do, he would probably join the reality TV show. Helen thought it would be fun to be on television so, why not? He heard a soft knock on his door and his Secretary came in."Sir, Mr Williams Harrington is here." She said,"Send him in."A moment later, Williams strolled into the office, looking very excited. He always looked excited. They shook hands and he sat down on the seat across from him. "I presume you've gone over the email we sent you?" He asked."Yea yea. I have. And I must say, this is totally out of my league. It isn't something I ever thought of doing at all. But, I've given it some thought, and well... I could give it a try.""Perfect! This reality TV series follows single successful men and how they date their partners. You can decide to use your real

Aaron drummed his knuckles against the tabletop as Helen sighed heavily. "Listen, I don't know what else to tell you." He burst out. "They're not the same."Helen pressed her lips together. She was fully made up for the cameras, the heavy, pancake makeup hiding the lovely glow her skin had developed these past few days. Seeing that glow was one of the best things about sharing a room with her. The other best things included seeing her bare toes peeking out from under the crisp white sheets as she slept diagonally across the huge bed, listening to her mumble herself awake before she realized he was listening, and watching her brush her hair away from her neck before she twisted it up into that bun she always wore.But thinking nice thoughts about sharing a room with her wasn't how this scene was supposed to play out. From behind the cameras, Catherine, their director, mimed snapping her fingers at him and then drawing her finger across her throat. He rolled his eyes and sighed.Right.

Ariel stood by the desk, watching Lucas with an air of suspicion. He seemed to be acting strange and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. “Mr Churchill left a while ago," she said, her voice carefully neutral. Lucas’s brow furrowed and his lips pursed in thought. He seemed anxious, almost twitchy, and it set her on edge. “Is there anything you'd like me to tell him when he returns?" Lucas paused, his expression unreadable. “No, there's nothing," he said, his voice tight. “Thanks” Ariel nodded, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right.

"The press conference has been getting a lot of positive feedback, sir," Ariel said, looking at the numbers on her screen. “Views are well into the millions, and the comments have been overwhelmingly positive." Aaron looked up from his laptop, a slight smile playing on his lips. “That's great to hear," he said, his voice warm with approval. "You did a fantastic job putting that together." Ariel blushed at the praise, feeling a rush of pride. "Thank you, sir," she said, her voice full of gratitude. "I'm glad to be of service."As Aaron looked at Ariel, his eyes caught on a small bump in her stomach. It was barely noticeable, but it was there. And it reminded him of Helen when she was pregnant with their son. He remembered the joy he had felt, the anticipation of becoming a father, and then the thought of having another baby with his ex-wife. He pushed the thoughts away, not wanting to dwell on the past. But they lingered, just beneath the surface.Ariel cleared her throat, breaking t

As Anna sipped her wine, she couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. She was surrounded by opulence and luxury, but she knew that the man she was with was evil. Henry studied her, his eyes narrowing.“You only ever visit when you need my help," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "What do you want from me this time?"Anna's fingers curled around the stem of her wine glass, and she took a deep breath. Anna smirked at Henry's words, allowing him to bask in his pride. He dared to imply that she was weak, without even saying it outright. But Anna knew better. She was a woman who had been through hell and back, and she wasn't about to let an old man like Henry tell her what she was or wasn't."It would be the other way around, Mr. Neville," she purred, a faux smile on her lips. Henry's eyebrows shot up in confusion. He wasn't sure what Anna was getting at.“You're the one who needs my help," she said, her voice cold and confident. Henry couldn't help but laugh. "You've got to be kidding

News reports of Dragon's image flashed across the screen, the word "WANTED" in bold letters underneath. A reward of a billion naira was offered to anyone who could provide information that would lead to his capture. Grandpa Adolph shook his head, a look of concern on his face. "That's an awful lot of money to put on a murderer's head," he said, his voice heavy with worry. "What if someone gets hurt in the process?""I know it's a lot of money," Aaron replied, his brow furrowed. "But we have to do everything we can to bring him to justice and also whoever is instructing to kill. He's a dangerous man, and we can't let him get away with what he's done. I know it's risky, but it's the only way we can make sure he's caught and punished for his crimes."Grandpa Adolph sighed, knowing that Aaron was right. But he couldn't shake the feeling of dread that was settling over him. He knew that this was only the beginning and that things were about to get much worse. “I hope you know what you

“Sit down, boy” Henry barked, his voice filled with irritation. Lucas was pacing the room, his hands running through his hair, his face pale and drawn. He looked like he was about to have a panic attack. “I can't," Lucas said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I can't calm down!" Lucas exclaimed, his frustration spilling over. "Your lackey killed someone! The plan was to beat him up, not to shoot him !" He glared at Dragon, who stood sheepishly next to Henry.Henry's face hardened, his eyes blazing with anger. "So, are you guilty?" he demanded, his voice cold and unforgiving.Lucas looked down at the floor, unable to meet Henry's gaze. The truth was, he was guilty. He had been a part of this, even if he hadn't intended for things to go this far. But he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud. "The inspector deserved what he got," Henry sneered, his words dripping with hatred. "If he dies, it's a win for us. He won't be able to tell anyone what he knows." Dragon nodded ea

Roger, one of Henry's men, ushered Aaron into the mansion. The sound of splashing water filled the air, as Henry swam in the pool. The old man Neville has been having a good time since he came out of jail. “Mr. Churchill, it's nice to see you again," Henry called out, his voice carrying over the water. “Care to join me for a swim?" Aaron felt his temper rising. He wasn't here to socialize with the enemy. He was here for answers. “I’m not here for a swim, Mr. Neville," he said, his voice tight with anger. "I'm here to ask you about Dragon." Henry's expression turned serious suddenly, worried, and anxious in a rush but decided not to show the fullness of his anxiety, and he got out of the pool, dripping water onto the marble floor. A maid brought Henry a towel, which he used to dry off his dripping hair and body. His boxers were soaked through, revealing the outline of his genitals beneath the thin fabric. Aaron averted his gaze, feeling a bit uncomfortable.Henry seemed obliviou
