Revenge and Redemption: Aaron's Tale of Resilience Chapter twenty nine
Twenty minutes later, the clouds hovering above her head brought down rain. Helen was on her way up with the Senior Project Manager, Abel, and Henry. And she was the center of attention for her half-dead look and rumpled clothes. She wanted to bury herself in the ground.“Kudos for not taking the day off,” Abel said. “I know how you feel right now. I was with you all through last week. I couldn’t even attend the RFP meeting. Thankfully, I have you to save my ass.”Henry gave him a hard look and so did she, but she couldn’t show her contempt for him outrightly since he was above me. She, however, allowed her mind to vent enough to say exactly what it wanted to. Well, fuck him for not taking the initiative to let her remain at her desk. They arrived at the VP’s office and were invited to sit in his little lounge area. Henry and the rest took their seats, while Helen stood by the corner.“Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a lunch meeting with the CEO in a few minutes and couldn’

He stood there, silently observing her, and her appearance was nothing short of miserable. At that moment, it felt as though the entire world had ceased to exist. His heart raced, and he struggled to maintain his composure. The Chief Medical Officer continued to speak to him, his words a distant hum in the background as all he could manage were polite smiles and nods. Then, the door to the room swung open, and her team emerged. Surprisingly, she wasn't among them, and a wave of relief washed over him.The prospect of meeting her again was unsettling, for it meant that she held the power to determine their next encounter. Given their complicated history, he didn't anticipate her being as enthusiastic about their reunion as he was. There were so many things he wanted to learn about her, and he had traveled a long way just to be near her. If she didn't make an effort to meet him, it would be a disappointment.Contemplating meeting her halfway, he grappled with the notion that his prid

Helen headed straight to the bathroom in a daze. She needed a minute to herself to process what had just happened, or even thirty seconds but knew she wouldn’t be able to get it. Alvin came after her and although she tried to increase her pace as quickly as she could without flat-out running, his long legs and shrill voice called out to her. “Helen! Helen!”She turned around to face him. He withdrew with a hiss of breath through his teeth. His reaction crushed her even more and brought tears to her eyes. Aaron had seen her this way! For the first time in more than a month, they were seeing each other again, and she looked like a homeless stray cat. She wanted to bury herself in the ground.“You met the new CEO?” He asked excitedly. “How was he?Does this mean no one else from their team had gotten to meet him?, She wondered. “I didn’t meet him,” she replied. “I just ran into him on the way down from the VP’s office. They’re going to have lunch.”“Oh, alright then,” he said. “He’s su

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

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
