Revenge and Redemption: Aaron's Tale of Resilience Chapter hundred twenty one
Helen's ward was empty, but the side door in the foyer that was ajar meant she did not flee the scene out of fear of the unknown.Helen stood in the foyer, basking in the cold air that even caused Aaron to shiver. He picked out one of the rainbow-colored blankets and headed towards her direction. She shook a bit, oblivious to her environment, she failed to notice when he came in.“It's cold out here,” he expected her to move in sync with his hands on her shoulders, but Helen remained rooted to the ground, where she stood. “Why do I have to be the victim, facing different misfortunes at a time, it isn't fair.” Aaron had never seen her in such a state of devastation, he wanted to ease her of her burden, make it all go away, but Helen had become a fountain of pessimistic thoughts.“Look at me, I want you to remember that you always scathe through whatever situation you find yourself in. You've been different shades of optimistic vigor ever since I met you. Don't let something like this,

“I ordered Chinese food, what do you want on the menu?” Aaron slightly knocked on Helen's door as he spoke to her without invading her private space. She kept mute, not replying to his question. He tugged on his hair, ready to break the door open if she did not let him in.“Helen, I'm coming in.” He announced again, this time around, the door opened with a click. Helen looked disheveled, and underneath her eyes, had prominent eye bags. “I don't eat Chinese.” She finally responded to his question. That was one of the biggest fallacies she could come up with. Who didn't eat Chinese? “How about chicken and chips with a glass of cold beer?” He made a salutation sound in the air, but her dead-on stare still did not change.“I just need a good night's rest, Aaron. Let's talk tomorrow.” Before he could say anything, she shut the door back with a click. Aaron stood in front of the door, perplexed and disturbed by Helen's behavior. “I'll be right here whenever you need me.” He spoke into the

Aaron woke up with a throbbing headache and his head was placed on one of the cushion pillows on the hard floor. He tried to recall what had transpired in the early hours of the morning but came up blank. All he could recall was gushing out his heart to Anna. Fuck! He just did what he would not have done on a normal day.“Good morning.” The sing-song voice of Anna had him rising to his feet. Still blinded by the effect of the liquor, he held his throbbing head in his hand. The crackling sound of scrambled eggs and the fresh scent of coffee filled his nostrils. “You woke up quite early, I expected you to sleep straight into the afternoon. You are a light sleeper.” Anna bent down on the floor he was subjected to for the night and smiled…“ I made breakfast.” She whispered, in her smile-laced voice.It took Aaron a while to take cognizance of his environment and stand on his feet. “How did I get here?” He asked in blankness. He could barely remember a thing. “It took me a while, but I

“Gus, any news?” A call from Gus came in not too long after Helen exited the threshold. Aaron held onto the rail, hoping that Gus found some dirt on Lucas. His gut instinct told him that whatever occurred, behind closed doors, had Lucas's name boldly imprinted on it. But he needed enough proof to vindicate Helen.“Nothing so far, but, I asked around and found out Lucas returns to the quarters later than the others,” Gus reported, a hint of mystery in his voice. Aaron wanted to get to the bottom of this. So far, the media and their voluptuous appetite were yet to get a hold of the deets surrounding the arrival of the FBI and ambulance. But, a single sniff would send their senses on overdrive.“Follow him closely, Gus, I trust your intuition.” Aaron had to give Gus his well-deserved accolades. Gus was going to get to the bottom of the mystery that plagued the Churchill mansion. Aaron returned to the dining area and found Anna enjoying her meal. “I made a plate for two,” she offered A

"ew evidence has been found, Mr. Churchill.” Aaron listened with rapt attention to the newest development in the murder case of Julian Sullivan. Inspector Suarez continued in his grumpy voice, “His neck has lots of bite marks that show he either was bitten by a rabid dog or we have a wild human being on the loose.” Inspector Suarez informed Aaron, who found it difficult to believe such a gruesome death was meted out to an innocent fellow.“I need Helen to report to the station.” Inspector Suarez finally hit the nail on the head on why he called. Suarez had to perambulate for a while before saying his main reason for calling. Helen was needed back at the station, for further questioning. His heart went out to the lady who had to go through such a rigorous process. Suarez's gut instincts never lied, it had stuck with him all through his years of service and this time around, it pointed to Helen as a victim of circumstance.Helen kept her head high and shoulder higher as she walked in

After three whole days, yet no call from Gus, Helen had become a shadow of herself and even Emily walked on eggshells after the fake falling, and well-battered face. A lot was going on, and the weight of it all had begun to take a toll on Aaron. He heard that wealth came with a series of responsibilities, but this was by far not the dream.“What are you deep in thoughts, son?” Grandpa, Adolph, snapped him back to reality. He stared at the golf field and the golf in his grasp, an excuse that would satiate the old man's curiosity, Aaron thought of, but came up with nothing. Grandpa Adolph was oblivious to what had transpired in the Mansion, and Aaron wanted it to stay that way. “It's nothing, Grandpa, just some problem at home with Anna.” He used Anna as bait to get the old man off his tracks“Hmm.” Grandpa Adolph, gave him a straight-up, eye-locking stare, waiting for a well-described explanation. Saved by his phone that buzzed in his golf shorts, he excused himself from the golf a

Gus appeared to have fallen off the radar, there was no sign of him, nor did he report back since the last time Aaron had a conversation with him. He wasn't the type to fall off the surface of the earth or flee the scene. Aaron tried his number again, but it ended up in his voicemail. “Daddy, play.” Ryan beckoned on his father to come help him with his new toy house. Emily had taken a leave, in the bid to visit her family that requested her presence. She deserved a leave of absence to recuperate and recover from her ordeal at the mansion. The CCTV camera above Ryan's nursery, blinked red, which drew Aaron's attention to the red eye that watched down on them.With Ryan placed on his shoulder, he headed to the CCTV room. Only he had access to the lock and knew the passcode, which prevented other outside and external forces from breaking in and deleting important visuals. Aaron played the video to the day of the incident, watching each cam closely. Nothing, there was nothing out of

Aaron's standpoint at the wailing figure of Julian's mother, prevented him from offering his condolence to her. Call it guilt, but he placed logical reasoning over his conscience. “Mi Hijo!” She cried aloud, her shaky figure, a sign she would soon be admitted to the hospital ward if no one did anything to separate her from the lifeless form of her son.“Bring him back, bring him back!” She helplessly flailed her hands in the air at the mortuary attendant, who stood still, welcoming her painful advances. “Miss Sullivan, I need you to be calm in situations like this, I promise you to get to the bottom of this,” Suarez spoke in a voice that would send the actual culprit into hiding. Aaron, for a minute moment, admired his audacity.Soli Sullivan could not believe in her wildest dreams that her son had become a corpse. His jarred neck and agape mouth showed her how many affiliations he had to withstand. When Suarez approached her for an autopsy, she blindly signed the papers, not acce

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.

"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
