Trust is an unbreakable bond that runs deep like the bond shared by the family. In this story my friends had taken a turn for the worse and, according to my favorite opinion, had no detour back to normalcy. “ What did he say?” Helen inquired from Aaron the moment Henry was out of sight and hearing distance. Aaron could tell that their feelings, towards the sudden repentance of Henry, remained mutual. “You don't believe in his abrupt change in character, do you?” He asked Helen the obvious, and she answered with a sharp nod.

“Neither do I trust your bodyguard.” Her eyes shot lasers toward Lucas's direction. Aaron had underestimated Lucas and here he stood, gallantly, and in a position to feed him to the den of lions. “Neither do I,” Aaron replied. He had a casual meet-off with Suarez, he and the detective were bonding up. “Do you have plans for the evening?” He would rather not be left alone to sulk, a taste of Helen on the side would do him some good. Let's not forget the mind-blowing

    Anna had become a ghost in the Churchill mansion, only appearing when necessary, and this evening was no exception. “Do you intend on telling Grandpa Adolph about this?” Helen inquired from Aaron, who needed a nice shower and good night's sleep…the place where the knife dug into his skin, scarred, and left a cut that would never be forgotten in a hurry. “For now, he should be less aware of my activities, it will keep him safe from harm's way.” Left for him, he did not want the old man to be involved in his business one bit. It put him at risk of the faceless killer who murdered without an iota of mercy. “He is the only family you have left and the closest thing to a parent that I have as well.” Aaron loved that grey—headed man, he always turned up for him and fought battles Aaron felt handicapped to take on. Anna decided to turn herself into a temporary housewife in the meantime. Emily had gotten lost in the wind alongside baby Ryan. She played around with some ingredients, tossing t

    Anna feigned exhaustion as she slowly retreated to her room, away from the watchful eye of Andrew. But it was all an act - her real purpose was to make an urgent phone call. With trembling fingers, she dialed a familiar number, her heart pounding in her chest. “Come on, pick up," she whispered under her breath. The call went to voicemail, and she was filled with rage. "You bastard!" she hissed, slamming her fist against the wall. "How could you ignore my calls at a time like this?" She knew that Lucas was her only hope of escaping her current situation. ********** Aaron was determined to protect his family, no matter what. He had already lost so much, and he would not let anything else slip through his fingers. So he decided to bring his wife and son home, along with their loyal nanny, Emily.

    Aaron, buried in his work in the office. For a little while he couldn’t concentrate, the fact he could have numerous enemies out there without his knowing. It felt like they were coming from different dimensions. Was it Anna who wanted him back so badly and would do anything to get him back even if it took the initiative to harm whomever he loved, she would do it, or Henry Neville who wouldn’t stop the recurrent threat towards his life and his family because of how he had taken everything from him. Lucas was another case, he wasn’t so sure who the man was any longer.Ariel walks in on his thoughts. “Sir, you have a package” a beige small-looking box, held carefully in Ariel’s hands.“Who is it from?” Aaron asked with so much caution. His thoughts went wide again. Was it from his enemies?“Leave it right there, you can go” The petty package was dropped carefully on Aaron’s desk by Ariel, she hoped it wasn’t something that would harm her boss as her presence was now absent from his of

    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

    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
