Helen, still hot and bothered from the kiss, found herself yearning for more. Her body had its thoughts and worked on its accord even when she fought the urge not to give in to her desires, it remembered what it felt like to be touched by Aaron Churchill. Helen touched her lips, reminiscing on the kiss.

“Snap out of it, Helen.” She pinched herself in the bid to concentrate on something else. A cold shower would be effective for dire situations of this nature. She headed to the master's bedroom and helped herself to an iced cold water bath. It did the trick and in seconds, she was back to her old self. She wondered who that hostile woman was, their energies not matching.

She went searching for her gist buddy and nearly had a head-to-head collision with Emily, whose eyes lit up at the sight of her. “Ma'am, you won't believe what in Bullock's name I just heard.” Helen, curious as well to know what Emily had to say, ordered her to lead the way. “Lead the way, Emily.” Without hesitation, t

    "A place of happiness, filled with laughter, love, and wholeness. Welcome to Aero Nat.” Helen read out loud the caption on the wall of the restaurant, mesmerized by the aesthetically perfect inscription.“Wait until you have a taste of their special cotton muffin dipped in honey.” Aaron levitated Helen's eager taste buds that already craved what was yet to be served. “Stop being a tease, Mr. Churchill.” She chuckled lightly, her eyes taking in the magnificent space.Helen was becoming a bit acquainted with Aaron's presence, the awkwardness, and hostility were reduced to a bare minimum. They were both ushered to the VIP lounge, the perks of being a Churchill displayed to its fullest.“Bonjour, monsieur et maman.” The waiter, without being told what to do, served a bottle of Chinese liquor served in a bucket of ice. This was Helen's first time seeing a good pleated bottle of Chinese liquor. Aaron, reading her mind, gave her the honor of having a taste of the heavenly liquor.“What are w

    Aaron looked forward to his meet-up with the boys, his safety was their priority and his well-being their sole responsibility. Little did he know, he was in for a big surprise. At the heart of the table, sat the last person he expected to meet. “LUCAS” The bodyguards that safeguarded the walls of the Churchill empire, all waited for him to make his opening speech. Aaron was not the type to wear his emotions on his sleeves, and Lucas wasn't going to stir up any type of reaction from him. “Let's do this more often.” The youngest recruit, Shawn's outburst, caused the rest to ripple with laughter. They were all having fun, enjoying their meals, except for Lucas who sulked. Aaron could tell that he had made more enemies than friends. No one cared to know what had him in such a bad mood as they all munched away, entirely ignoring him.After the meal, the next course of action required Aaron to receive a rundown of how the security team ran their day-to-day activities, reports of miscond

    “Mrs. Salvatore, we will meet again.” Mr. Lucas, Aaron's boss, happy to see Anna, helped himself to sit opposite her. Anna welcomed his company, her thoughts overwhelmed by the bills she had to pay.Yeah, she thrived well as the breadwinner of the family, but for how long. Left for her, she wanted to file a divorce from Aaron, but her father's dying wishes haunted her.“Mr. Lucas, come join me.” She offered, but he declined politely, in a gentlemanly manner. Anna, mesmerized by his aura and appearance, envisioned a life with him in it. She wished she could scream to hell and elope with him into the sunset. “You look disturbed, care to share?”He asked, concern eminent in his voice. His display of concern shook her and garnered a light blush from Anna, who welcomed his advances.“On days like this, I wish I could be single again, you know.” She blurted out. Lucas stared at her with an intensity that melted her and troubled her. Lost in his eyes, the urge to throw the table that stood a

    The bitter winter cold, the inner shakiness, and the scars that marred her body from her ex-lover tripled Anna's pains to a hundred degrees. Karma came to bite her in the ass, and it came in the form of Lucas. She wanted to be certain if Aaron was just fabbing to get her out of his hair or if indeed Lucas had become one of his lap dogs eating his leftover crumbs.Standing in the heart of the Churchill security section, she waited for the men to return from their assigned workplace. Her eyes scanned for the person she sought, but he was nowhere in sight, tired of embracing the winter air, she turned to leave. “Anna?” The voice of the man that stole her heart and tore it into shreds called out her name.With a deep sigh and a fully composed demeanor, she faced him head-on. “Lucas. There you are.” There was no need to pretend they met coincidentally, or she mistakenly waltzed into this side of town. “Aaron told you, didn't he?” He inquired about Anna, who sold her soul to the devil aft

    Helen had to accept that she had a psycho on the loose living under the same roof as her. Chills, yes, she could feel her toes curl up with fear. “Did you see the way she stared at Ryan?” She asked, fear as crystal clear as the chandelier hung on the ceiling, vivid in her voice.“Anna is harmless, yes she could have a loose knot or two, but she won't harm Ryan.” Aaron's poor attempt to rid her of her fears only worsened it. He sounded uncertain, and that triggered numerous questions from Anna, who only knew bits about the woman who came to mark her territory.“You never told me what happened to her, why she had an injury on her wrist.” Now was the time for Helen to be well-informed about Anna and get the full details about her history and why she was still heavily entangled with her ex. Aaron, ready to evade her questions, continued munching on his meal like he had not just witnessed his ex-wife go ballistic.“Don't you dare do that! As far as I know, she wants you and can stoop so

    “Pass the ball, Comrade, over here!.” The game of wits as a lucrative sport had begun, and Lucas had the ball in his possession. There were noises and hand movements in the air urging him to pass the ball, but this game was his for the winning. “Lucas, come on!.” One of the members of his team, frustrated, sighed and walked away from the pitch.The game went on and he scored a goal. “Goal!” He howled, pumping his fist in the air, but his victory was ignored as the rest of the team converged together for their lunch break. “If you keep up with this, you won't even have a place to lay your head at night.” Graciano, the head of sports warned, leaving him to toast to his stale victory.Lucas, parched, headed towards the water section. “I hear that Mr. Pompous once owned a notable company in Kingston.” The blonde whispered out loudly, making sure Lucas heard what he said. “Really?” The other gasped lightly as they both stared at Lucas in mockery. He ignored their jabs, emptied his can, an

    "There is a hole inside my green garden and in the hole, there are rats. Thread carefully, my child.” The warning of Grandpa Adolph, issued to her when she destroyed his greens, still plagued Helen like a second skin. Hell, was it quite a scare?She decided to visit him, being the only person she had a proper recollection of, she felt safe in the place she once called home. “Ryan, are you excited?” She asked her toddler, who held onto her with his little fingers. “Yes.” He cooed. “Helen, what a pleasant surprise.” Grandpa Adolph's gray hairs had spread around his hair, tinting it with a shade of white.“Ryan, my boy, come to Grandpa.” He bent to the level his back could permit him, his arms ajar, an invitation for his grandson to come to hug his old man. Ryan wobbled but still made it to his destination as Grandpa Adolph lifted him in the air. “What are you feeding this kid?” He teased, all the while blowing feathery kisses on his face.“Lady Grace, do we have some snacks?” Grandpa A

    “Sir, the board meeting is today.” His secretary reminded Aaron, who had a deadline to meet with. “I need a minute, have the hall prepped, I'll be there in five.” He ordered as he continued to type away on his system. Aaron glanced at his secretary and noticed how disheveled she looked.“Are you alright?” He inquired from his secretary, who looked like she lost a few pounds overnight. “I will be, sir.” She replied that her steps were weak, but she did good, I'm concealing it. Aaron never blurred the lines between his work ethic and the personal lives of his workers. He sighed and, with a shrug of his shoulder, typed away.“Sorry for being late, I apologize.” He announced his entrance with his apology. “Ariel.” He beckoned on his secretary to start the briefing, but she remained seated, staring into space. “Ariel!” He called her again, and with a jolt, she quickly stood on her feet and projected the screen towards his direction.Aaron was halfway in his speech when he heard a loud th

    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?" Aaron asked, his voice gentle but urgent. Helen shook h

    "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
