HELENA'S POV. Since the last time Alexander's mom came haunting her son in his house I haven't seen or heard from her. I was at peace and blessed my God for having to sleep peacefully without the fear of being bagged on by a woman who loves to manipulate and control other people. Even though Alex and I had our own share of a little misunderstanding we didn't mind sharing the same space after all that's what lovers do; forgive, right?. It was a hot Friday afternoon and Maggie wasn't coming for the weekend. She had taken her off for.the week as usual. Alexander had told me he would return home before I could get my little fingers to do anything around the house. I believed him because I was lazy as hell and needed some rest myself. Alexander's love has turned me into a really lazy woman and each time I complained about it he would say I am the queen of his heart and queens are created to be pampered. I can tell you mine is excess. I remember on one of the nights I had complained of ac
ALEXANDER'S POVFrustrations are unavoidable, and the way that we adapt to them is in many cases an extremely important occasion in our lives. I never for one day imagined that Helena would do this to me. My mom had called me that there was an emergency at home. I should hurry. She didn't tell me why even after I asked. With fear I asked my driver to speed up so I could reach home on time. I was panicking, scared and didn't want anyone to be hurt. My mind raced through a lot of things I couldn't place but never thought about having another man on my bed. I raged and fumed. The Young Man had run out of the house."How could Helena do this to me mom? I asked a rhetorical question. I was expecting her to give me an answer but she did anyway."Son, I told you to stay away from her but you wouldn't listen now see?" Look at the shame she has brought upon us. Our name is going out on all billboards by morning. Have you seen it now?" My mom began to scold me like some kindergarten child."How
HELENA'S POVI couldn't pick out what exactly had happened to me on that said day. I couldn't give an explanation of what the man was or what he did to me on to bed. I guess j was too weak or two drunk to remember anything. I figured there was someone involved in this conspiracy. I couldn't help wondering why I have been filmed half naked on the bed with a total stranger. The thought of this whole mess makes me ponder on my life and why I had decided to come this far with Alex. If I had stuck to the rules all these unexpected drama wouldn't surfaced the way they did. No one would believe me. Alex doesn't even want to see or hear of me but the good thing is he hasn't asked me to leave yet. This right here would have been my worst nightmare. My dad barely fed him a three square meal so adding a pregnant woman to his burden would break him. I had no idea how I was going to come clean since Alex doesn't believe me. I cried my self to sleep everyd mother night and hoped that he would come
CHAPTER FORTY SEVENALEXANDER'S POV.Today has been one hell of a stress for me. Merging the stress from work and the storm raging at my home wasn't just a thing for any weak man. I was drained emotionally and otherwise. I tracked my mom down to her executive office on the fifth floor of Solara Helixia, our family company building. It was nearly noon, and sunshine streamed through the floor-to ceiling windows of the ultramodern, European-styled office. The desk was a stark white, plastic with rounded edges. no drawers and a Plexiglas top that reminded me of my kindergarten days. The chair matched, molded plastic with white vinyl cushions. While the white shelf unit behind my mom held numerous impressionist glass objects and paintings which she'd likely paid a fortune for.Her computer was a bright white flat screen with a sleek marching keyboard, there wasn't a single piece of paper in the office. The only splash of color was a metallic abstract painting, in aqua and silver on the si
HELENA'S POVAfter I shoved the envelope on his chest I went upstairs. I already knew what he wanted to say and I didn't have the time for that. I was disappointed at him and if no one would believe me he would have at least had a little trust for me. I walked majestically to my room and sat on the bed. I brought out my phone from my bag and dialed Gabriel's number. It wasn't even up to a second the phone started ringing he picked up. I wanted to tell him I was home and also to be sure if he was okay and home too. " You good?""Yes I am. I'm home actually, I called to say that". I told him over the phone."I'm just a few miles away from home. Thanks for checking though Gabriel said. We had nothing much to talk about since we had just spent the entire day together.I am exhausted, I need to catch some rest, I informed him. He quickly agreed saying he would call back later. I thanked him and got up to ease myself. Urinating every two seconds was something I was already used to. I went
CHAPTER FORTY NINEThings were beginning to go well for us and thankfully I have decided to brass myself up to any standard. Not even an external enemy would be able to stand me at this point. To my mom I will always be her boy and do as she says but she was quite mistaken. She has tied me around her fingers for too long. Helena and I decided to go on a beach house trip. This is something she had always wanted to do. I hadn't visited my beach house in about two years since I wasn't really a fan of the sea salt smell thing. It was a Saturday. The evening sun rose from the left horizon. It was in the evening , around 6pm; Helena and I were sitting on the beach, looking at the sea and the sun, and with Helena beside me fully dressed in her beach wear and hat. While I had my floral shirt and shorts on exposing my thick straightñ legs. I enjoyed looking into the horizon of the sea where the sky and the water were merging together, how the waves were covering each other, and the sun that
ALEXANDER'S POV.How can you even suggest a thing as disgusting as this?" What do you want to deny? Didn't you grace her bed? Come off it Alex and stop acting like you never enjoyed rocking your chaft on her groins."Mom, I don't know what she told you but I have to tell you that Sophia is lying to you. I do not have a child with her.My mom scoffed. Arms folded across her chest as she swayed her head from left to right. She didn't even listen to one word I had to say.Yes, I had a few nights with Sophia but it was just a fling and that was way back. I couldn't imagine how my mom was able to dig out such a ridiculousPast. And Sophia never told me she was pregnant for me when we were together or even after we broke up so why now. Why the sudden news of me having a child with Sophia. I have been caught in the neck. A position I can't shift from or deny with just my word of mouth I needed proof." You can't force that child on me". I said as I made to follow her out of the deck. Then I
CHAPTER FIFTY ONEHELENA'S POV.I could no longer bear the pain of betrayal and humiliation from Alex any more. I mean this minute we are sweet and the next a storm is raving to destroy the sweet moment we have built. I have been a victim of tragedy all my life and now that things hadn't gotten out of hand was the best time to leave. But then again I was heavily pregnant. Who was going to look after me and the baby.I quickly packed my things and dialed Gabriel's number. He was always read to help and always available."Hey Helen"."Gabriel, where are you?"At the store, a few miles from your home"."I'm not home and I want you to come pick me up."Where exactly?".Thompson's garden beach house"."Oh! Are you there with Alex?" He asked. I could feel the smile forming up in his face as he spoke."With Alex, yes! But I don't want to be with him anymore please come take me away from here before they kill me""Helena, what are you doing?" Alex asked again.She didn't mind if his voice wa
