Aron...

I sat nervously in Lynn's office, my hands tightly gripping the edge of the chair. Lynn, the head of security and a close friend to President Johnson looked at me with concern and curiosity. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what I would reveal.

"Lynn, I don't even know where to begin," I started, my voice filled with uncertainty. "I...I think Zea might be planning something against the White House, against all of us."

Lynn leaned forward, her expression serious. "Tell me everything, Aron. Start from the beginning."

I recounted the events leading up to my discovery of the document—how Zea acted strangely, her secretive behaviour, and the moments of tension I had witnessed. I explained how I stumbled upon the document by chance, and though I hadn't confronted Zea about it, I couldn't shake the feeling that she was hiding something of great importance.

Lynn listened intently, her eyes focused on me, searching for any signs of doubt or deception. When I finished, a h

  • "The Cruelty of Fate: Zea's Never-Ending Quest"   Chapter 16 : Nothing concrete yet.

    Aron's Point of View.Corridors seem to buzz with activity as constantly as I wander through the White House; there is no waste of time, and everything must be done with a sense of commitment. Every step somehow resonant with the floors, and while the orderliness is palpable, I know the storm rages inside of me, or maybe it has always been there since I was chosen to become the chief of staff of the President but also a man straddling between responsibilities and scepticism. It is early morning, and the sun streams through the windows in the West Wing; the luxury of the Oval Office envelopes me as I enter. Facing away from the President, the First Lady scowls at him as he leans at the Resolute Desk, which also looks anxious and tired. “Aron, come in,” the President says, waving me to sit on the chair opposite her. His tone is instead composed, but I can feel the growing tension. "What do we have?" I sit across from him, and my thoughts are torn in different directions. I pause fo

  • "The Cruelty of Fate: Zea's Never-Ending Quest"   Chapter 15: 1 day left!

    The climate in the room rises as hours count down to a critical moment of our assignment. Moving around the ill-organized table covered in maps and papers, the team gathers, standing in the midst of the preparations. Jake is looking straight at me, and although it is only for a few seconds, I can discern a shyness that does not often show itself. “How do you even manage it, Zea?” Jake’s voice is soft, his face intense. This is the question that was raised by the character: ’’Can I have fife being a mother and a killer at once?’’ I keep the mask of tolerance and resolve, and looking at him, I feel drained but decisively steady. “It’s give and take, really,” I say calmly. However, my voice has a tinge of sadness. There is a constant oscillation between duty and love; every decision is a burden, and every choice is a revolution that echoes throughout one’s life. Jake nods again, they stare at each other for a moment as if to finally register what has been said. ‘This is the story o

  • "The Cruelty of Fate: Zea's Never-Ending Quest"   Chapter 14: He knows something

    The morning sun shone warmly through the windows, painting the room with a gentle golden hue. Aron sat at the kitchen table, sipping his coffee as he engaged in lighthearted banter with our child. The sounds of laughter and the clinking of utensils filled the air, creating a comforting backdrop to the start of the day."Come on, kiddo, finish your breakfast," Aron encouraged, a playful twinkle in his eyes. "We don't want to be late for school."Our child giggled, taking another bite of cereal before setting the spoon down with a satisfied sigh. "Done!"Aron grinned, ruffling our child's hair affectionately. "Good job. Now, let's grab your backpack and get going."As they prepared to leave, I stepped into the kitchen, a soft smile gracing my lips. Aron's presence had always brought a sense of stability to our lives, a steady anchor amidst the chaos surrounding us."Morning, you two," I greeted, my voice infused with warmth."Morning, Mom!" our child said, excitement dancing in their eye

  • "The Cruelty of Fate: Zea's Never-Ending Quest"   Chapter 13: Threads

    Sitting at the kitchen table, I absentmindedly traced the grain of the wood with my fingertips, my gaze fixed on Aron. He was deep in conversation with our child, guiding him through math problems. His smile seemed strained, his eyes distant – a telltale sign that something was awry. A gnawing unease settled in my chest, refusing to be ignored."Is everything okay, Aron?" The question slipped out, tinged with concern that I couldn't quite conceal. His gaze met mine, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before he masked it with a reassuring smile."Yeah, just a long day at work. Nothing to worry about," he replied, his tone steady but his eyes betraying a hint of hesitation.I nodded, trying to quell the unease that had taken root within me. It could be exhaustion, stress, or any number of reasons. But a voice inside me insisted that I delve deeper.I excused myself from the table, feigning the need to check on the simmering pot on the stove. As I stood before the furnace, my heart

  • "The Cruelty of Fate: Zea's Never-Ending Quest"   Chapter 12: Short Affirmation

    As I drove aimlessly through the winding roads, lost in the labyrinth of my thoughts, I never expected to find myself here. It was a place that held so much meaning, yet belonged to a different time, a different version of my life. The house, once familiar and comforting, now stood in the hands of strangers.Curiosity compelled me to enter the yard, drawn by an invisible force that guided my steps. A pang of uncertainty washed over me as I approached the front door. How would these new occupants react to a stranger intruding upon their lives? But something urged me to continue, to confront the memories that lingered within those walls.I entered cautiously, only to be greeted by an unexpected sight—a loving family, with the elderly grandparents surrounded by their joyful grandchildren. Their presence in this place I once called home was a bittersweet reminder of the passage of time.Summoning my courage, I approached the family, hoping they would allow me a moment to reconnect with th

  • "The Cruelty of Fate: Zea's Never-Ending Quest"   Chapter 11: Unveiling Secrets

    A wave of apprehension washed over me as I stood outside the grand doors of the president's office. My heart pounded in my chest, its rhythm mirroring the chaotic thoughts swirling in my mind. I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of inner turmoil, torn between my love for Zea and the weight of my duty to the nation.Every step I took towards that meeting room felt like a step further into the unknown. The image of Zea's face, filled with warmth and tenderness, flashed before my eyes, reminding me of the love we shared. But at this moment, I knew I had to put that love aside. I had to set it on the shelf, like a cherished possession, as I confronted the grim reality that awaited me inside those walls.The truth that Lynn has uncovered has shattered the illusion of the woman I thought I knew. Love must take a backseat now, for the stakes are too high. Lives hang in the balance, and I must do what is right, regardless of personal sacrifice.The president's request for this meeting echoe
