Revenge and Redemption: Aaron's Tale of Resilience Chapter hundred thirty eight
“Splash.” Aaron nearly caved in to the advances of his molesters as the iced water, sent him to Iceland and back. He could barely feel his tongue and his blurred vision, obstructed by a veil tightly placed on his eyes, made it difficult to decipher who his aggressors were. “Is it time to do what is necessary?” A singsong voice, jeered as Aaron heard the sharpening of a knife.“Any amount, name your price?” There had to be a Judas in their midst, if not, he was as good as dead. “What do you take us for? You are no different from us.” Someone in the background spat out and with that, another bucket of iced water was poured on him. “Who sent you?” A snicker and loud laughter followed his question. Aaron had a feeling he wasn't leaving here anytime soon. “In time you will find out. For now, hold on tight.” The approaching footstep of the person who spoke, in all his audacity, Aaron could tell, he was the gang leader and the ringmaster. There was silence, deafening silence, but not for l

“Is he dead?” Aaron, at this point, could barely keep his eyes open as he zoomed in and out of consciousness. He heard one of his aggressors ask, out of curiosity, his life status. “He will be, soon.” Another voice chirped in. The stale stench of smoke and the growling sound his stomach made, did not help his current situation as he craved a hot meal and a warm bath.“Open up!” A violent voice used the sharp edge of what he deemed to be a fork, to open his mouth wide open. Aaron, helpless and exhausted from their advances, let the mashed poison called food, slide through his tongue, into his throat. It was the opposite of the hot meal he dreamed of. “The boss will be here soon, you need to look presentable and very much alive.” The only voice that he had gotten acquainted with, finally spoke, Dragon.“Can you tell me the time you arrived at the scene, ma'am?” The police sirens blared out loudly, the crime scene of the kidnap had become a no-go area as a barricade was placed there.

“The masked men.” Aaron, numb to everything around him, just waiting for the time one of those rogues pulled the trigger, remembered one of the highest-grossing actors in the 1960s who played a part in the 18th-century horror story, the masked men. He wished he were Stewart Hart, one of the magicians who cast away the bad guys in a single swoop. Too bad, the world of fantasy remained in the genre of unrealistic imagination. Back to his reality, Aaron was parched and heavily doused in his sweat that had stuck to his skin and obviously stained his white tee shirt. “Water.” Aaron croaked out. He had no idea how long he was going to remain, as cited on the wooden chair that sunk deep into his butt. His plea was rewarded with a cold splash of iced bucket water. “You can drink as much as you want.” Dragon snarled into his face, the stale whiff of his breath causing him to stifle his nostrils.Lucas stood in front of the prison entrance, white snowflakes, cascading the area, a sign that Ch

“SOS.” Dragon alerted the rest of the vile crew of rogues as Aaron could hear the scraping sounds of metals and the hasty movements of those enclosed with him in the confined space that had become his hell. Aaron could feel himself being lifted from the wooden chair, his stiff behind sent him moaning in sheer pain as he got dragged out of only God knew where.“Count your blessings, but never forget, we will certainly meet again.” And with that, Aaron yelped in pain with the law of gravity set in motion, he could feel himself fly out of the car and land on a granite and coarse surface. The blaring sound of cars and honks did not help his current blindfolded situation. “Get the fuck out of the road!” He heard a man curse out.“Wait, isn't that Aaron Churchill?” Murmurs and gasps flew around him. Aaron weakened to the knees and struggled to stand on his two feet but to no avail. Helped by probably a good Samaritan, he was eased of the darkness accorded to him by his persecutors. His

Ever wondered why the guilty scathe through the earth, wandering freely and conscience-free of their actions? Yes, Aaron, high on the sleep sedative injected into his fluid bag, was plagued with that thought as he struggled to stay awake.As a man, society had made him a far stronger version than he dimmed himself to be. He feared the dark and even the slightest glimpse of sleep, had him fighting with science in the name of a sleeping sedative.“Tell me more about yourself, Andrew.” Aaron needed a form of distraction, and Andrew stood to be the best viable option. “Where is he?” Aaron could hear the panicked voice of Helen down the hallway even in his sleep-induced fuzziness. He had never heard her discomposed. In a different scenario, he would have thrown caution to the wind and filled her up with feathery kisses.Helen wanted to validate the authenticity of the news Suarez broke at the station. Henry was now on the loose and in the absence of no lead on the case and dead ends, Hele
Revenge and Redemption: Aaron's Tale of Resilience Chapter hundred forty three
The metallic taste of the sedative distorted Aaron's taste buds. The hysteric and concerned look on Helen's face, clouded his vision as he slowly opened his eyes to the sleeping figure of Helen, lying beside him, their hands loosely intertwined. “Sir.” Andrew made himself known to Aaron, who had no intention to wake Helen from her slumber. “Shh” he made a gesture with his finger to shut Andrew from further speaking.Helen awoke, to Aaron staring at her with an intensity she knew so well. The heat in his gaze, consumed her whole unorthodoxly. “You're awake?” She brushed her feelings aside as she lightly grazed his forehead with her palm. “Do I call the doctor?” She asked herself and without waiting for Aaron's response made to leave the ward.“There won't be a need for a doctor, all I need right now is you.” Aaron's words did the trick, as Helen returned to her side on the bed. The tiny bed could barely host his build, but he did not mind making enough room for Helen. She completed him

The discreet discharge of Aaron from the hospital and Suarez's persistent questions and drillings caused a headache to build up for Aaron, who wanted to see his little man and cuddle with the love of his life. “Can you put a hold on the questions? I have already told you all that I know.” Aaron barked at Suarez in obvious irritation. “Do you prefer a different investigator, or are you just playing hard to get Mr. Churchill?” Suarez retorted.“Do you need something? Maybe a cup of orange juice or a cup of decaf?” Helen offered to make him comfortable for the series of drills Suarez had prepared for him. The two seemed to have gained a ground of understanding, and Helen's quick compliance to Suarez's annoying tactics made him wonder to himself exactly what he missed over one week.“Mr. Churchill, I know this isn't the easiest of topics, and the incident must have been traumatizing, but your testimony is very crucial to solving the cases that have built up in a month.” Suarez pressed on

Things were not as they were again, Aaron could feel it down to his bones. The news of Henry Neville out of prison came as a shock to him, but he quickly got over it. The man possessed quite an amount of power that superseded that of any other conglomerate business empire and personality."I'm coming with you to work." Helen stood on her ground, fully dressed in a finely pleated suit, she prepared herself, ready to head out with him to work. Aaron did not have the final say on this, she had already made up her mind. "I have tons of upgraded bodyguards, there is nothing for you to worry about." Aaron tried convincing her to hold her horses but to no avail.Helen was yet to disclose all that had happened in his absence. First on the list, was his wacko ex-wife, who in all sincerity, caused Helen to shiver in anxious anticipation of her next move. One step at a time, she told herself. Aaron might appear to put up a tough front, but she feared the incident had shaken him up a bit. "I tho

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
