Helena's POV…Helena held the side of her arm with one hand then circled the other across Roselyn's back, leading her inside."Did something happen?" she asked in the most nurturing voice she could master. It's not that she didn't care but she had never been the go to person when it came to emotional stuff. It seemed as if in just one week, she had been through more emotional moments than she had experienced in her entire life.'What am I supposed to do now?' Helena thought to herself. 'Get some tissue, her nose is running'. She got up and disappeared to the bedroom, grabbing a pack of facial tissues then returned and handed them to her." Thank you",said Roselyn before blowing her nose. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be bothering you with this"."No, no it's fine but you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."'Geez that came out wrong! Of course she wants to talk, that's why she's here dumbass', she thought to herself. "It's my boyfriend," Roselyn began before tearing again. He
Helena's POV….Even though she had countless gowns in her closet, Lexy insisted on them going shopping. They tried on many different types of stunning dresses and in the end she settled for a simple and elegant long dress with a slit in the middle while Lexy went for the long, red, femme fatale look with an open back."Do you think we should check on Roselyn?" Helena asked and Lexy rolled her eyes."Do as you wish," she answered uninterested.Helena took out the phone that Lexy had bought for her then dialled Roselyn's number. The phone rang many times before going to voicemail." Roselyn, hi, it's Helena. I've gone shopping with Lex for the prince's party tonight. We are now headed for the hair salon to get our hair and make up done, so if you want to join us, just come over".Roselyn didn't call back and she didn't come either so they completed the rest of the day without her. Night time came and the two of them headed for the ballrooms section of the palace.Glass double doors ope
Xander's POV…“She's so beautiful” Griff interrupted Xander. He stood on the balcony, his eyes focused down on Helena and he was fighting the urge to bridge the distance between them. She was dressed in a long, nude coloured, off the shoulder, glitter dress that stood out against the bolder flesh revealing outfits worn by the other women who. So subtle and elegant, he thought to himself with pride beaming out of him. "Keep looking and I'll gouge your eyes out", he warned Griff. Normally he would be joking but this time he really meant it. Her body was for his eyes only."Why are you getting so hostile? I thought you said she wasn't the one", confronted Griff.“It’s not her”, he insisted. He needed more time and once his embarrassing situation was resolved, he was going to announce it. “Are you sure?” asked Griff with a wide grin on his face. “Why are you still on about it? Didn’t I make myself clear? ” his words now had anger in them.“It’s just that ever since she entered the r
Xander's POV…Xander swallowed down the clogging in his throat then adjusted his tie, which was beginning to choke him."Do they know each other? Xander they know each other!!!" Griff stated the obvious, utterly excited."I can see that!" he responded, unable to cover his annoyance."Look, they're hugging! Awww that's a kiss!" Griff was so taken in by the scene that he looked like he was watching his favorite sport."Who's kissing who?" Priscilla asked, joining them."No one," answered Xander."Why did you bring Roselyn here, I thought I asked you to keep her busy??" Xander heard Griff asking his wife."I tried but someone sent her a message telling her about the party and I couldn't lie," she answered.Helena looked up directly at him and Xander felt his palms begin to sweat. They were discussing him. What were they saying? He moved his jacket out of the way then slid his left hand in his pocket while the right remained holding his glass."What are you going to do?"Griff asked him,
Helena's POV..His mouth covered hers, demanding and she squinted her eyes tightly in a deep frown, trying to free herself. She tried to lift her knee up to crush his jewels but it felt unbelievably heavy as if a weight had been pressed down on it.His lips applied pressure, forcing hers open and she felt his tongue sliding in, lashing against hers. He kissed her over and over again until she felt her resistance begin to break. 'No, I'm not doing this', she stubbornly convinced herself. However, when he pulled back, his wild, desire filled eyes searching hers, she found herself glued and unwilling to walk away. He tore off his jacket and ripped off his tie but she just stood there, breathlessly watching him.He went back in, this time less forceful and she circled her arms around his neck, welcoming him. She could still feel the heat of her anger behind her ears and in her chest and it heightened her lustful desire. His tongue created pleasure with its friction, his body rubbing h
Helena's POV…Helena hesitated, took one step forward then stopped again. She couldn't face them, not now, after…She let out her breath then closed her eyes."It sucks, doesn't it? I should have done something to stop her and now it's too late", she heard Roselyn's voice."Yeah, I'm also at fault for not doing anything", added Lexy."But you know what? The more I think about it, the more I feel something isn't right . I think those two knew each other, otherwise it doesn't make sense", she continued." No you're wrong!" Roselyn defended"Use your common sense for once. Why did she get that angry then? You don't humiliate someone like that if it's not personal."Lexy was right. Her reaction was completely self motivated and she hadn't put a thought towards Roselyn. If she had, she wouldn't have slept with him straight after." You're just jealous of my relationship and my friendship," Roselyn attacked."Jealous?? You think I'd be jealous of chasing after a guy that doesn't want me?" Le
Helena's POV…Nomatter how much she tried to justify it, it still felt inexcusable. Had she been faced with Roselyn right now, would she be giving the same excuses?"Honestly, Helena, I don't care about your little situation with miss high and mighty. Those are issues that you probably need to discuss with her. What I'm interested in is how you did it."Helena was confused for a second. Was Lexy implying that she was the one who had seduced Xander?"I didn't do anything! He got someone to lock me in and then he just started kissing me. I refused at first but he kept on and on," she tried to explain but Lexy cut her off."Stop! Don't give me any details! Geez, why would I want to know that?" she asked, causing Helena to blush. "What I mean is countless women have tried to get his attention and have failed, including that Roselyn friend of yours. Not only did he allow you to publicly humiliate him but he also rewarded you for it? I can't wrap my head around that,"she continued.Countl
Xander's POV…He could feel his breathing becoming heavy as he searched her eyes, needing to hear the right words from her. Why had she discarded their union so callously? Did she not see how devoted he was to her? How much he couldn't exist without her?"They had me bound and I couldn't escape". She choked up the last bit and began to sob again. "They had you what?" he asked thinking he had misheard her."I tried so hard to awaken but I couldn't," spoke with a pained expression recalling her ordeal.Her words felt like embers igniting a burning flame in his chest.In an instant his body transformed into the monster that he was, placed her down on the couch next to him then stood up and walked to the balcony door."Who?" he asked, ready to take flight."Who would dare???" he roared, his voice echoing in the distance.She was taking too long to respond. He needed to know now so that he could unleash untold horrors on them. She moved towards him then embraced him from behind, trying
