The next day, she went to work prepared. She vowed to look her best. Her outfit was a real green pantsuit and a white shirt that came straight from the dry cleaners. Her hair was in a fancy chignon, that she had only ever been able to pull off at two other times in her lifetime, and her makeup, although simple, was rosy and adequate to show she was back from the dead.

There wasn’t any doubt that she would meet him today, and when she did, she intended to be in the best possible state she could be in. She had no clue how their conversation would go, but she did know the only question she had for him.

What the hell was he doing here?

Later that morning however, she watched as Alvin was called from his cubicle across from hers, and requested to go up to the executive floor. He stared at me, now back to his usual casual attire of dark jeans and a dress shirt, his eyes widening with horror and disappointment. “I’m not ready,” he mouthed to her.

Neither was she, for whatever was happening r

    After the party was announced, the manager, Henry, came out of his office.“Marketing team two, you’re forbidden to attend this party. Your account is still a fucking, bloody mess.”The groans were deafening, and it made Helen look around to see if they had suddenly gotten more members than she was aware of. She realized then, that other employees were also grumbling on their behalf.“Just for tonight, boss,” Aarif called out.Henry was already heading back to his office. “Just for tonight, Henry,” Lee pleaded. “There’s pizza, tacos, and a barrel of red wine.”The floor erupted into excitement again, but Henry slammed his door shut behind him to the amusement of many. Soon, the chatter died down, and they got back to work.Later that evening, at just after 7:30, Helen headed down to the floor with Alvin and found it nearly half-filled with the employees. There was laughter and clusters of teams acquainted with each other hanging out. And, of course, the expansive table of food by the

    In her spacious corner office, Anna sat at her polished mahogany desk, an air of frustration surrounding her. She had been unsuccessful in reaching Aaron since their last meeting, and her attempts to contact him had been met with silence. Her mind raced with concerns and questions about the man she was determined to win back. The door to her office swung open, and a woman entered quietly. It was the same domestic staff member who had previously supplied Anna with information about Helen. Anna looked up, her expression a mixture of curiosity and impatience."What is it?" Anna inquired, her tone sharp and direct.The woman hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Ms. Anna, I thought you might want to know that your ex-husband left for Chicago a few days ago. He seemed quite preoccupied." Anna's eyes widened, and she leaned forward, her voice laced with urgency. "Chicago? But why? What's he doing there?"The domestic staff member sighed, knowing she was walking on thin ice but compelle

    “I-I came here to speak to you.” she finally said. It took all the courage she had. He didn’t even bother looking at her. “Go ahead.” The elevator door dinged open, and he got in.She didn’t move. “Aren’t you getting in?” He asked.She released a heavy breath. “Aaron,” I called, and the elevator doors began to close.His gaze was on her, and she thought that he would reach out to stop it, but instead, he remained in the same position, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pocket.The elevator closed, and she blinked. It took her a few seconds to process what had just happened, and then she realized he was leaving. She couldn’t believe it.“Dick!” she swore, as a surge of anger shot through her. She pounded on the downward button, intending to go after him.Finally, it arrived.She hopped on, but as she arrived on her floor, she stopped it and got off. “Fuck him,” she said, as her eyes misted at his cool dismissal. She returned to her desk and took her seat to calm down but

    Helen felt frustrated. She didn't need to use the bathroom. But she, however, needed to breathe well, away from him. She needed to stare at her confused visage in the mirror. What the hell was she going to do? To move them beyond this stage, especially as it now seemed that she had annoyed him to the point of a voluntary stalemate. She has always been a very likable and understanding person. She always tried to avoid having problems with people. Why then was she finding it difficult with Aaron? For them to proceed, she had to be the one to make the move, and the very thought made her limbs tingle with fear. Her head fell into her hands. What was wrong with her? Especially now, when there was so much more at stake between them, even though he didn’t know it yet. She gazed at herself in the mirror again. "What exactly do I want?" She spoke aloud. "Him in my life, or not at all?" She lowered her gaze as her hand rested on her stomach. She did want him in her life. She wanted him s

    He brushed the tendrils of escaped hair away from her face. “I have another request for you.” With his thumb and forefinger, he lifted her chin upwards so he could lock her gaze with his. “It’s been more than a month and a half. Any longer and I will cease to be able to function.”Helen's face immediately began to flush with heat as she processed what he was saying. Shy, she tried to pull her gaze from his. He wouldn’t let her. “Helen, I'm serious,” he breathed. “I need to be inside you. How about tonight? Anywhere you want.”Right then, what she wanted more than anything was to kiss him, hard and deep. So her hands lifted to hold the sides of his face. He didn’t wait. With a slant of his head, he crushed his lips to hers and she tasted him again. It was like coming home from a long, arduous, and very unnecessary journey. As his tongue dipped and stroked hers, she felt her knees begin to weaken, the fire he wrought in her heart, draining her entire body of the stamina needed to even

    She was already out of his arms and out of the stall. “Easy for you to say, you own the damn company.” she headed over to the mirror to check her disheveled, just fucked hair, and rumpled clothes. And if she looked enough, she could see reddened kiss marks on my neck. “Oh no!” she gasped.Aaron came up to the sink beside her. He wetted a handkerchief and began to approach her. “I’ll do it myself,” she said, not sure she could handle him touching her again. It felt like she was about to spontaneously combust, both from anxiety and ecstasy, and it was all too much, all at once.But he caged her, arresting her between the counter and his rock-solid frame until the only thing she could do was give in. She stared into his eyes as he lifted her skirt once again and slid her thong aside to cover it with his handkerchief.Her eyes fluttered closed, her breathing pattern now in short desperate spurts. When he was done, he arranged her clothes back in place and slipped the handkerchief into

    Despite her resistance, Aaron's hand stroked the bud of her sex, her hands on his shoulders to keep her somewhat stable.“Aaron… stop,” she said.Then he managed to slip her thong aside. He slipped a finger into her and then another. Her eyes rolled into their sockets, her lips falling open. “Oh,”she whimpered. “Holy fuck.”His phone suddenly began to ring. With a deep sigh of regret, he pulled his fingers out of her and banded an arm around her legs to hold her to him, before retrieving the phone from its handle.“Your four ‘o'clock is here, Mr. Edwards,” Joseph informed him.“Give me a few minutes,” he responded and returned it to the receiver. He rose to his feet, and kissed his girl, completely and wholeheartedly in love with the woman that she was.She hit him on the shoulder but then melted into the kiss till a loud knock on the door brought them both back to earth.“You’re going to pay for this,” she said, as she pulled away.“I’m looking forward to it.”“How did you even take

    Half an hour later VP Daniel had somehow managed to turn into a nightmare overnight. Today, they were focusing on establishing the demographic that would yield the utmost success if they directed their campaign toward them, and every single idea put forward by the members of the team had been rudely shut down.After an aggressive rant, the room was silent for a while, before Helen decided to speak. “Sir, based on my research so far, I think that young mothers would be a great focus.”For the first time since she had run into him earlier in front of Aaron’s office, he spoke to me, “And why do you think that? They have just heard that the majority of the demographic that consumes energy drinks are students and middle-aged workers. Where do young mothers come into this equation?”She wanted to give up right then, but she fought herself from rolling her eyes at him, and went on, "Gillette’s major demographic is indeed men. But during this past year, and especially after the controversia

    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
