Helena's POV…Roselyn tried on a few outfits, each one bolder and slinkier than the other."No, I don't like any of these," Helena frowned, shaking her head from disapproval.Lexy came holding a black, lace dress that only covered the underwear then held it in front of Roselyn."You should try this one. Show him all of the right spots", Lexy encouraged Roselyn, handing her the dress.Though the dress was very revealing, Helena had to admit that it was beautiful." What are you trying to do?" Helena asked Lexy, as soon as Roselyn disappeared in the dressing room. Lexy was really gnawing at her nerves."I'm trying to help her to get laid. You don't want him so don't be selfish", Lexy answered, shutting Helena up.Even though Lexy's words pricked her, she was right, she didn't want him. "Don't bare your fangs at me!" Lexy rolled her eyes at her."Huh?" Helena paused then quickly covered her mouth with her palm when she realised what had happened.She hadn't felt anything thus hadn't rea
Helena's POV…..The next morning, Helena woke up to Lexy's continuous knocking and she reluctantly dragged her feet to the door ."Do you have to wake me up so early?" she complained, stifling a yawn and moving to the side to allow Lexy to walk through. She had slept late, tossing and turning thinking about Roselyn and Xander and had switched off her phone to stop herself from calling like a madman."Hurry up and get dressed, you have a guest", Lexy informed her.Helena gasped, her tiredness instantly disappearing." Is it a man???" she asked, already making her way to the bedroom."I don't know, a message just came through to get you," Lexy answered.It must be Aaron, he had come for her! She hadn't expected him to find Tithen so quickly and for him to come right away. It was too soon and she hadn't yet formulated an escape plan.She raced to the bathroom, quickly washing her face and brushing her teeth then changed into a dark green maxi dress.It didn't take long for them to leav
Helena's POV…She sadly watched the palace from the side mirrors as the car moved further and further away. 'This is the last time. I'm never going to see him ever again' she thought to herself, unsure of what she was feeling. There was this numbness, this foreign feeling as if it were only a dream."Who was that guy?" Aaron asked her, interrupting her thoughts."Which guy? " she asked, knowing exactly who he was referring to."The guy who was being possessive? Why did he behave that way?"Aaron was asking because he had become suspicious and she failed to find the courage to tell him. They had been together for five years and confessing that it only took three months away from him, for her to jump into bed with someone else felt like an insult."Aw that guy? That's the crown prince of Tithen. That woman Roselyn, the one who escorted me outside, is his girlfriend", What was wrong with her? How come, from the time she got here, she had told one lie after another? Had she turned into
Helena's POV…' Aw God, what have I done??? She questioned after Aaron was long gone and disappeared. This was Aaron she had just kicked out, not some random guy who was looking to get laid. She scrambled for her phone, her fingers fumbling as she dialed his number."Please pick up!"she begged when the phone kept on ringing continuously.She tried a few more times but he ignored only replying to her with a text.I THINK YOU NEED SOME TIME TO YOURSELF. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU 'VE DECIDED ON WHAT IT IS YOU WANT.What did she want? The answer was screaming right back in her face but she couldn't accept it. If she were to return to him right now, what would she do about Roselyn and about Aaron?The next day, after a dreamless night, she made an early start to her day, intending on going to J and J investments to see if she could get a reference for another job. She had just finished taking her shower when she noticed a note sticking out from under her pillow, the exact same way she had foun
Helena' s POV…That night, after shopping for a few supplies at the local grocery store, she removed her shoes before entering her apartment..She felt too lazy to make a proper meal so she just made a chicken and mayo sandwich and a cup of hot chocolate to warm herself up.She made herself comfortable on the couch before grabbing the remote and clicking on the on button.Before Eaglesdale, this had been her daily routine that she always looked forward to, coming back exhausted from work and having that quality time where she unwound. Why did she now feel so desolate and isolated? She felt unbelievably lonely after having spent all of her time surrounded by many people.Had she been back at the palace, Lexy would be seated on the other couch right now and maybe Roselyn would be there too. But it wasn't Lexy or Roselyn that she was craving. She wanted to see his handsome face one last time, to feel his touch on her skin and to lie on his chest and watch tv while doing it. She dozed off
Helena's POV…From the hospital, she drove to her apartment, with Aaron following behind.As soon as they arrived she led him straight to her bedroom and took out the notes from one of the drawers."Here, take a look at this," she stretched out her hand to Aaron to give him the papers.Instead of taking the notes from her, he grabbed hold of her hand and squeezed it moving closer to her."I miss you Elle. I miss you so much", he expressed, passionately looking into her eyes.She pulled her hand away, dropping the papers on the floor before subconsciously wiping her hand on her clothes as if to wipe off some dirt. Aarons gasped and his expression quickly turned to hurt." It's as if you've become someone else", he said, creasing his forehead then turning away from her to hide the pain." I need time. Can you please be more understanding?" she begged him, feeling hurt as well. She didn't know why her feelings for him had completely disappeared. Okay she knew why but she felt with more ti
Helena's POV…Night time came and as promised Aaron returned early. "Aaron, I need to go back to Tithen," she informed him as soon as he sat down for dinner. The table had been set outside, on the gazebo ,near the pool area.She had been on edge throughout the day, jumping at every sound and looking behind her shoulder."Elle, come on! Don't say that," he brushed her off."No, I need to go like now! Can you please arrange a flight for me?" She begged. She didn't want to be here anymore and the only person that she knew who could make everything okay was Xander."Are you being serious? Did something happen while I was gone?" he asked, looking concerned."Yes!!! Aw God I need to go", she insisted, getting on her feet."Please take a seat and calm down. What happened?" He pulled her back to her seat and she anxiously looked at him.She didn't know where to begin. It wasn't only about the fact that she had spooked the daylights out of herself but she needed to get back to him. "A few h
Helena's POV..She held on tightly as he soared into the sky, his chest heaving and she could feel the heat from his boiling anger. She had done this to him. Her hands began to caress the back of his neck and she grazed the skin on his chest with her teeth before sucking it hard. He inhaled, tensing his muscles and she could feel as if his speed increased until all she could see was different shades of color. She stopped taunting him, burying her face in his chest and holding him close. It took only an hour to get to the palace, surprising her and he transformed as he laid her wobbly feet back on the ground. "Xander I", she tried to speak but he grabbed her by her hand and began to walk briskly with her. The palace seemed deserted when they crossed the foyer and she had to half run at some point to keep up with him.They entered the elevator and as soon as he pressed the 6th floor, he pounced on her, giving her the hardest and most passionate kiss she had ever experienced in her en
