Helen jumped to her feet as Aaron burst into the room. He was angry, and she was afraid of what he might do. As he strode towards Anna, his grip tightening on her arm, Helen was frozen in place. Helen didn't know what to do or say. She wanted to help, but she was afraid of making the situation worse. Helen’s mind had raced to what Emily had told her about what had happened that night, though she didn’t see the culprit like she had said it was definitely someone from the mansion and Anna wasn’t far from being the prime suspect. Spilling anything to Aaron right now could cause chaos and more there was no valid evidence to prove anything.Aaron's words were like a punch to the gut. "You killed Julian, didn't you?" he demanded, his face twisted with rage. Helen's heart was pounding as she waited for Anna's response. Anna wasn't the type to show remorse. She was a tough cookie, and she didn't seem to care about the consequences of her actions. Even as Aaron confronted her, she didn't seem
The smell of disinfectant and antiseptic stung Anna's nostrils as she lay on the hospital bed, waiting for the doctor's verdict. She couldn't remember the last time she had been in a hospital, let alone had a medical examination, probably when she had lost her child. The sterile environment and the sound of beeping machines only served to heighten her anxiety, she wasn’t so anxious because she knew she truthfully had a baby for Aaron. “Mr. Churchill," the doctor began a sense of gravitas in his tone. "I've confirmed that she is indeed pregnant, and according to the tests, she is approximately three weeks along." Aaron's face darkened, his features twisting in anger. Anna dared to sit there, a smug look on her face, as if she had accomplished something great. It made Aaron's blood boil, and he struggled to maintain his composure. Aaron's face was a mask of anger, and he could barely find the words to express his rage. All he could think about was how Anna had taken advantage of him
"There's a ticking bomb," Ariel explained to Aaron, her voice trembling with fear. "We don't know how long we have before it goes off." The words hit Aaron like a punch to the gut. A bomb in his company? It was unthinkable. But as he took in the scene before him, he knew it was no joke. The workers were huddled together, their faces pale and drawn. He could see the terror in their eyes, and it struck him with a sudden sense of responsibility.Shit! Aaron asked no further questions from Ariel, Aaron rushed towards the company but was stopped in his tracks by one of his security guards. "Sir, Aaron, please don't go in! It's not safe!" the man pleaded, his voice full of concern. Aaron seethed with anger, his frustration palpable as he glared at the assembled security guards. “Do you think I pay you to stand around and do nothing?" he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “I’m the one who's paying your salaries, and you can't even protect my company when it's under threat? Do you know
Lucas glared at his uncle, as he paced about the room angrily. “You nearly killed me!" Lucas exclaimed, his anger bubbling to the surface.“I work in that company, you know! I could have died!"Henry just shrugged, unconcerned. “But you're alive, aren't you?" he replied with a flippant tone, smoking his huge cigar. “You should be grateful that Dragon was there to get you out,” Henry said, unable to hide the resentment in his voice. Aaron slammed his hands on the desk, causing the room to go silent. The tension was palpable as everyone held their breath, waiting to see what would happen next.“A fake bomb? Really?" Aaron said, his voice filled with disbelief and anger. “Henry Neville is messing with the wrong person," he added, his gaze fixed on nothing in particular.Suarez remained calm, despite the hostility in the air. “There's no evidence to prove that Mr. Neville was responsible for this so-called prank," he said, his tone firm but measured. Aaron now fixed his gaze on the inspec
The night had fallen quickly, shrouding the mansion in darkness. The ordeal today had stressed everyone to the core. Most especially Helen who had fallen asleep tiredly. Aaron had walked up to the nursery, Emily still awake, Inside the nursery, still tending to Ryan, she was wide awake and fussy. She looked exhausted, her eyes red and her shoulders hunched with fatigue.Aaron checked the time, it was past her stop time for her nanny duties.“Sorry to scare you Emily” Aaron felt apologetic, he saw how the lady was startled by his sudden presence. “Go get some rest I’ll take over from here.” Emily stood up adhering to his orders. “Did Anna come home?” He asked before she stepped out of the door. “No sir, I haven’t seen her since you took her to the hospital” Emily answered sharply. “Thank you. You can go now”Anna was such a sly, Aaron thought. He had forgotten all about her in the hospital which allowed her to escape to heaven knows where, in Lucas’s arms maybe. He didn’t care about
“The Churchill company is a safe institution," Aaron said into the camera. “And whatever happened yesterday may have been the work of my business rivals." Anna scoffed as she watched Aaron speak on TV from the comfort of her living room. She knew that his words were a load of nonsense, and it was laughable to think that he could blame this incident on his business rivals."Business rivals, my foot!" she exclaimed, rolling her eyes. “He's grasping at straws, and it's pathetic." Anna was still Lucas had kept Anna in the dark about the bomb incident, but she knew his uncle, Henry Neville, was behind it. The old man had always resented Aaron's success, and she was sure he wouldn't stop until he saw him fall. If it wasn’t him then it was a new enemy, probably the one Aaron had lashed to her about.Anna still felt a mix of emotions about how Aaron had left her in the hospital. On the one hand, she was glad to be free from him for a while. On the other hand, she was angry and hurt that he h
A heavy feeling of guilt settled in the pit of his stomach. Aaron had betrayed the woman he loved. Anna was the cause of all this or probably he could blame himself for consulting his ex-wife for a talk. Dr Miller had called up Helen in Aaron’s absence, and the DNA test results to prove the paternity of the unborn baby Anna was pregnant with were ready. As much as he tried to talk to Helen while they sat waiting for Dr Miller in the office. Helen had refused to speak to him, her face stony and unreadable. He could feel the anger and pain radiating from her, and he knew he was to blame. "Helen," Aaron called out, his voice soft and pleading. But there was no answer. Just then, Dr. Miller entered the room, a file in her hand and a stethoscope around her neck. Her dark ponytail swished against her back as she walked. “Miss Anna will be here in no time”. "You called her?" Aaron asked, his voice cracking with emotion. "Why would you do that?" Dr. Miller was unfazed by hi
"You've got a lot of potential, son,” Henry Neville said, addressing the young man seated opposite him on the veranda of his home. The man merely grunted, making it clear that he was not interested in Neville's compliment. “I didn't come here for compliments," he said, his voice tight with anger. “I came here to get revenge for my brother's death. You said you could help me, right?"Henry Neville remained silent for a moment, considering his response. He knew that this young man was dangerous, driven by a thirst for vengeance that could not be quenched. But he didn’t mind, he was going to be a good asset to destroying Aaron.Dragon behind Henry shifted, tensing as if ready to strike Julian’s younger brother. But Henry raised a hand, motioning for him to stand down. “There's no need for violence Dragon," he said, keeping his eyes on the young man before him. "I understand your frustration, but we can resolve this without resorting to threats or violence." “You don't understand any
