A Love found in Affliction

Chapter Twenty Nine

Double Update!

Aaron walked into his office and sat down. He rubbed his eyes and leaned back in the chair. He had so much to deal right now. Olivia’s murder came as a blow for him, completely took him off guard.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

“Hey man. I am sorry. I heard about Olivia.” Jeremy said as soon as he answered the phone.

“Yeah. Thanks man. I need you to come over as soon as possible.”

“I have both the files ready. You want me to bring them in?”
