Aaron's sex appeal had to be considered the best according to Helen's perspective. His taut muscles, his well-sculpted face and hands that looked like they could outweigh the weight of the world, and let's not forget his wet hair that hung on his face like a second skin.

He had her mouth watering for a taste of his lips on hers. Damn, Aaron looked like a nice dose of sex on the beach.

“Don't stare too hard, I can tell you for a fact that he wasn't this hot. He just moved with the grandeur.” Anna teased, she caught Helen ogling Aaron, with her mouth slightly wide open.

Defending herself from this sweet crime, felt senile. “Food is ready,” Anna announced in her signature sing-song voice, which garnered her a stare-down from Aaron.

“What?” She mouthed to him, he had to hide his disdain for her sudden switch in characters until she clicked in again and went rabid on them. “I don't trust her.” He mouthed back.

Truth be told, Helen did not trust the charade she displayed, but it was

    Anna dressed for work, after a year of absence and three months of being bedridden, she was faced with different emotions all coming to her at once. Dressed in her beige attire and her pistol safely tucked in its unpredictable hiding spot in her pants, her heels clanked loudly on the floor as she announced her presence with her appearance.“Goodness, ma'am, you look breathtakingly rogue.” Emily whistled in appreciation before handing her her usual dose of coffee. “Thank you.” She held its warmth in her grasp before sipping from it. “Now, I feel alive.” She cooed at the cup of coffee like it answered all her questions for the day. Helen enjoying her cup of coffee was disrupted by Anna, whose presence and aura were always calm before a raging storm.“My, where are you headed to?” She inquired from Anna, waiting for her cup of coffee from Emily, who took her time making a cup for her. “Oh, I'm headed to work,” Helen replied with a sweet smile. Aaron walked in, in all his handsome glo

    Anna chewed on her nails, antsy and restless that her plans went southward. It was obvious that the two saw through her facade and did not believe her charade. “Where the fuck is my coffee?” She growled at Emily who hurriedly offered her what she wanted. Now, this was precisely what she wanted. Someone who quickly did her bindings without hesitation.The bitter taste of the coffee nearly choked her. “Wtf!” She yelled. The little girl did that on purpose. Helen, enraged, threw the glass on the wall. It took her every ounce of self-control she possessed not to bash her head on the wall. “Emily darling.” She stared, as Emily walked towards where she stood, unafraid of what was going to become of her. “I guess you don't like me much?” She questioned Emily, who decided to put up a bold front instead of scurrying away.“No, I don't. Stay away from the lady of the house and my boss. You are even ---” Emily did not get to complete her sentence before Anna descended on her with all the pen

    “She has some broken ribs and a red eye, which is medically diagnosed in two ways. A fall from a high place, or the former.” Doctor Miller spoke, as she examined Emily thoroughly in the confines of her room, with both Anna and Helen in attendance. Anna looked like she could cry a river as she wiped her face with the back of her hand. “Emily, are you sure you fell?” The doctor asked in disbelief.Yes, Doctor Miller voiced Helen's assertion. Anna could be the culprit, but nothing was certain unless Emily spoke out. What was she scared of? “I fell.” Emily refused to change her narrative, leaving them with nothing to work with. “I'll prescribe pain relief medicine and a good night's rest. Be careful when you walk on the staircase, the Churchill mansion can be a lot.” Dr. Miller tried to defuse the tension in the room with some comic relief.“Is she alright, doctor?” Aaron inquired from Doctor Miller, who drew him to the side, away from listening ears. Helen returned to Emily's room, her

    Anna could barely sleep a wink, tossing and turning on the bed, she put on her see—through nightwear and headed to the kitchen for a late-night snack. The intention was not to take out her aggression on the little girl, but at the same time, had no regret whatsoever for her actions. The barroom stood slightly opened, which caused her to retrace her steps and head towards its direction.Aaron and Helen were inches from tearing their clothes apart, a scene she most definitely did not want to witness. Her intrusion was noticed as Helen gave her a stare-down from head to toe. Grateful for her attire that came in handy, at the right time. “Are you hungry?” Helen asked Anna who only wanted Aaron's attention at this point. He kept his poise and stare fixated on Helen, who looked hot and bothered just by merely looking at her. “How is she?” She evaded her question, not in the mood to wine and dine with the enemy. “She'll be fine. Dr. Miller instructed bed rest, and that is what she will

    “Boss, we have a problem.” Harold, the company's information assistant, informed Lucas who just arrived from the bank soliciting an extension of payment of the loan he had acquired from the institution. Everything was falling apart, and it happened with quick and immediate effect without remedy.“What is it, Harold?” Lucas raced to his office, Harold right behind him, keeping him updated on the question he asked earlier. “We have some guests and things are not looking so good.” Yes, Lucas noticed the eruptions and endless murmurs from the workers, who did not hide their anxiety that reeked in the air.This had to be some kind of nightmare, this was not happening. Lucas needed to wake up from this bad dream. He turned to the left and the people who stood in the corner all looked blurry and almost non-existent. “Richard, Richard” and with that, he choked on his fear, coughing out loud into the dimly lit tiny rathole.Anna's hands, still raised in the air for another hit, fell to her s

    “Mummy, Emily?” Ryan tried to call out to Emily, who usually came to get him up from his cradle each morning. “You miss Emily, don't you? Yes, you do.” She placed her mouth on his stomach as she tickled him. Ryan rewarded her with a loud baby babble, which in turn had Helen laughing.Finally, those CCTV cameras were going to be installed today… Helen took Ryan, to his one true love, Emily, whose eyes lit up at the sight of Ryan. “Oh, Emily, I brought someone.” Helen presented to Emily her gift, which she smiled into its face, lifting it like it weighed nothing. She looked better and the awful purple, around her eyes, had become a little faint. “You almost gave me a scare yesterday. I still find it difficult to believe that someone as meticulous and as careful as you are, tripped and fell. A high place. It doesn't sit well with me.” Helen's mode of getting her to open up still failed to garner the response she expected. Emily still stood on her previous testimony, not distorting or

    Anna had a feeling Mr. Henry Neville had something to say to her behind closed doors and looked forward to their next meeting. He was an interesting man. Lucas's somber mood and lack of speech made her wonder if he was preparing himself for his day of reckoning, or probably considering taking flight or remaining rooted to fight like a man.“Your uncle is responsible for the shooting that caused Helen to be in a state of coma, he is one bad chunk of an alpha male.” She could not hold back how impressed she was by Mr. Neville. Prison life looked good on him as well, and he appeared to be receiving loads of preferential treatment. “He runs the prison as well… I can tell from his robust appearance.” She concluded. Anna heard of his prowess in the Churchill empire, his famous succession plan that ended up down the drain due to Aaron's arrival. The man's hatred for Aaron ran deeper than she could fathom. He was the best pawn in her game. He would blindly walk into puddles without think

    “Ariel, thank you for coming at such short notice.” Aaron needed all the help he could get, the company's 100th anniversary was around the corner, and he needed to dust out the old shelves of the Churchill dynasty, especially those that came before him. “It is a pleasure, sir.” Ariel brushed his gratitude aside, maybe she felt indebted to his act of kindness, he had no idea.The day went slowly, with all the preparations overwhelming him and Helen in Helen's absence, Aaron and Ariel multitasked. “The event should be hosted with love and strictly on invitation. A large crowd is a bad idea.” He spoke while Ariel did the jotting. In between talking and typing on his system, he accessed his secretary, she looked way better than the last time he saw her. No visible baby bump, but he knew first hand, it would eventually appear.“You took my advice.” He applauded her for doing as he instructed. The office was rowdy as preparations for the event at hand had already begun.Aaron could feel t

    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. She watched Lucas leave her desk, there was something up with the way he asked for Aaron’s presence Finally, she couldn't take it anymore, so she made a straight dial towards Aaron. Helen could feel the warmth of Aaron's body as he wrapped his arms around her. She let herself relax into his embrace, feeling safe and protected. “Are you hurt anywhere?"

    "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
