Chapter 30: First Villa in L.A.

After returning from his uncle's house in Edmond, Oklahoma, Aaron lazed around his penthouse in Los Angeles for two whole days. The contrast between the fast-paced, tech-driven city and the slower, relaxed life in Edmond lingered in his mind. He had spent time with family, made significant improvements in their lives, and now it was time to focus on his own next step. His penthouse, though luxurious, felt small and insufficient for the kind of life he wanted to build going forward.

Aaron leaned back on his sofa, tablet in hand, aimlessly scrolling through the usual news feeds and real estate apps. He wasn't in a rush. After all, with his newfound wealth, he could take his time to find the perfect home. His uncle's café and new house had reignited his desire to secure a place for himself, something spacious and serene, where he could relax and feel like he was truly at peace.

But what would that look like?
