Helena's POV…She sat on the chair across from him, staring at him with the most deadly intent. Her blood was boiling but she felt helpless and unable to fight back." Eat up, your food is getting cold," he ordered her, picking up her fork and knife and placing them on her plate for her.'You want me to eat? I'll show you eating!' she thought to herself. How had she been so wrong about him, thinking he was a good man? She had spent a good two weeks with him, locked up in a cabin and yet never had a clue.She had to be the worst judge of character."Go ahead, eat!" he urged her when she just sat there looking at it.She took a deep breath for encouragement, grabbed her fork, stuck it into her fried egg and shoved the entire thing in her mouth. Her mouth was stuffed full when she began to chew it , fighting the urge to gag. Nomatter what, he was not going to win by making her submit to him.His eyes looked at her briefly then he continued with his food as if he hadn't seen anything.
Helena's POV..Warm morning rays burst into the room, torching her eyes and Helena stired back to life.'Aw hell no! Hell fucking NO!!!Why???' she cried inwards, facing the ceiling. They were both stark naked, his head next to her shoulder and his one arm lying flat across her chest. Was she getting dumber by the minute or was something else going on? Why is it that she couldn't remember?This had to be his doing.Yesterday, just twenty four hours ago, she had made it clear to him, never to touch her ever again. So why was he disrespecting her and acting like a sex starved maniac? He should just go and be with women like Roselyn who were dying to be with him.Grabbing hold of Xanders arm and shoulder, she shoved him with all of her might, her legs kicking him at the same time. 'Don't touch me means don't ever sleep with me ever again!!!' she yelled, pushing him to the edge of the bed.Because he was caught unaware, he fell backwards with a loud thud, taking the sheets along with hi
Xander's POV…That night he returned home late and when he did, he found her in the kitchen making dinner. The knot in his chest tightened when he noticed that she had put on his clothes and she smiled at him, taking him by surprise.'What are you plotting?' he questioned, looking at her with suspicion.The last time he had seen her, she was screaming her lungs out at him and now everything had suddenly disappeared?"Hey," she greeted him and he ignored. This is the greeting that should have woken him up this morning and yet she had chosen to disgrace him instead. Now it was too late. Nomatter how much she tried to be nice, she couldn't undo what she had done.He made his way to the bedroom, took a shower then came out dressed in his pyjamas. 'I'm not going to eat her food', he told himself as he took a seat on the bed, switching on the tv.The truth was he was famished. He had gone to a restaurant to have dinner there but for some reason had failed to get past the first bite. Still
Helena's POV…The next day she woke up expecting to find herself in bed with him but smiled when she was alone on the couch. Thank God the message had finally gotten through and he was now staying away. Had he not kidnapped her, she probably would still be caught up in emotions trying to figure out what to do about Roselyn and this decision to part with him would sting a little. It was good that he had shown her his true colors and had assisted her by forcing her to be here. Right now, her mind was made up and if she turned out to be pregnant, she was going to raise his baby by herself.She thought more about what her next step should be. For starters, she couldn't afford to lose her temper again like before. If she wanted to increase her chances of escaping this maniac, she needed to pretend as much as possible to be tolerant and understanding. He had after all saved Lexy, which meant it had paid off and she knew that if she continued this way, she might have a chance at convinci
Helena's POV..They arrived at the palace by midday after a terribly long drive back . Xander had bought them food along the way and she was still munching on some snacks when the endless palace building came into full view.Did she really have to return here? She had only wanted to grab her backpack then leave but now she was being forced to stay here. Her eyes began to search everywhere, looking for any sign of Roselyn. What if she suddenly bumped into her while walking with Xander? How was she going to explain herself? Should she maybe phone her to find out where she was? She took out her phone, began to type a text but then deleted it midway. Why was she so anxious? She didn't have to walk with him.She took her time in exiting the vehicle, allowing Xander to disembark first. "Go, please go", she spoke to herself silently praying for Xander to walk ahead but he didn't. He circled the truck and stood right outside her door watching her ."Aw Come on!" she muttered, tempted to sta
Xander's POV…After doing a few inspections, Xander walked in long strides, Gerald keeping close behind, headed for the 6th floor. 'This woman is going to be the end of me', he thought to himself. She had continuously embarrassed him infront of Gerald and he had grown tired of it.As soon as the elevator doors closed, he pressed on the floor button before taking a glance at the older man's straight face. 'Geralds mind must be running with all sorts of imaginations', he thought again, feeling judged and very self consous. " I didn't kidnap her, she's the one who came to me", he suddenly said.'Why am I explaining myself? Why do I care about what he's thinking?' He regretted opening his mouth. He always maintained a professional relationship with his staff and had never crossed any lines before."I beg your pardon, your highness?"Gerald asked as if he had been interrupted from thought." Nothing," he answered before stepping out of the elevator.They had just stepped into the hallw
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
