HELENA'S POVI knew from the start that Alex and I would pull through all of these storms. This was a minor game and I was certain we would win at the end. Every day I wake up in this mansion and feel the need to help, stay and fight for what rightfully belongs to me. Sophia had no place and she is the obstacle I would start with. It's been Two days since Alex went for the appointment for the DNA test. He had given me detailed information about how the appointment went and how Sophia suddenly became uncomfortable around him. Even though I was sure that the child is t for Alex I still wanted to see the defeat on her face when we would all finally see the result. I wasn't going to back down on tracing her and revealing her schemes. Nevertheless, I told them to think of ways to track her moves secretly.It's 4:50 pm, the evening is night and the sun is beginning to diminish gradually.

AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Sixty Nine
HELENA'S POV.I was sitting patiently waiting for Alex to return from work before going on my little dinner meeting with Sam.I was exhausted and fatigued but that didn't matter at this point. I had a whole shark to devour and I needed to execute that mission as soon as possible. It was a few minutes past six and Alexander had not returned. It was not so normal for him to come home so late at night. He was the kind of man that goes home immediately after he's done with work. I had no idea what he would want to eat when he got back. I called Maggie up to my room to go fix something to eat while I got ready for my appointment. I sat behind my dresser and stared blankly into the mirror. The red dress looks perfect on me. It was a red strapped dress and I always wore a coat over it. I searched my closet and pulled out my long coat. It had black and white petal patches on each side of the coat. It was my favorite coat. I slipped my hands into it and wore my shoes. Exactly how I wanted t

ALEXANDER'S POV. I took a stroll out in the words. In the early hours of the evening at 6 pm. Walking and humming sweet lyrics to myself. The dry leaves ruffled under my feet as I crushed them through each step with my shoes. I had walked half a distance deep into the woods when I began to see shadows lurking behind the trees. At first, it was one but within the twinkle of my eye, I had been surrendered by armed men. I couldn't move at that point. I became suddenly cold in the feet as a bead of sweat began to form heavily on my face. "You can't run away from me" the. The voice spoke out deeply. Each word echoed till it faded completely into the night.Who are you?" I queried."You know who I am, '' the man responded behind his mask. He had a dark mask on. I could only see his red bloodshot eyes from the tiny opening of the mask. I knew he had a gun but the best way to fight a battle was to be on the offensive and so I pulled out my little behind me but before I could even pull th
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Seventy One
HELENA'S POVI watched him flounce himself upstairs. I had the conviction to follow him but dismissed the thought and obeyed as he had said. I quickly picked up the bag he had dumped on the ground and packed up the items that had fallen out as he angrily threw the bag down. "My Steak," I said when I found it in the other bag. I sighed letting out deep relieving breaths and went over to the couch and sat. This was my time to enjoy myself. I also needed to be left alone. Nobody's anger was going to get to me. I had promised myself a few months ago and I wasn't willing to break that promise to myself. He was angry at whoever. I didn't care but why would he vent it on me? I pondered the reason for his anger and added one or two sentences from what I could make out of the words he spoke before he snapped. I quickly opened the steak and began to dig from it. Just the perfect taste as I wanted it. I had gotten so engrossed in my food that I was almost unconscious of my environment. The c
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Seventy Two
HELENA'S POV Just when I thought everything was going well. Even though we've had a series of clashes in the previous months. I had enjoyed only a few days of happy and quiet moments. Triumph usually comes after a war and so I believed that despite the feud my family is facing, if Alexander's we will both triumph at the end. I had slept over the reason why Sophia and Alexander's mother are bent on kicking me out of the house. For Sophia's plans, I have no idea but I knew she had some form of hidden agenda especially when I caught her bribing the doctor. That was by the way. It's been a week since the DNA test was conducted and we waited patiently for it. Since I had Sam working on Sophia's case I quickly indulged him to do a little digging into Alex's mother. Sam works with the FBI and tracing or tracking anyone shouldn't be a problem for him. The next time I met with him at our usual spot I had relief that he had a little news to give me. He had told me that Sophia was Derego's l
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Seventy Three
ALEXANDER'S POVAs we waited for the person to come in. I looked straight at the door with my eyes shining as bright as a new fire burning in the summer. It took a deep relieving breath when the person finally walked in."Mom". I called out and got up almost immediately."What are you doing here?" I asked as I motioned to meet her."Am I no longer welcome here too?" She asked to study everyone's faces. I blinked and twinkled the corner of my eye at her. It was a signal to let her know our matters and the rift between us at home shouldn't be discussed before our associates. She got the sign as usual"I didn't mean it that way, I mean you should have called."This is my company too" she reminded me as if I was some new staff member. I acted like we were cool and nothing ever happened between us a few days ago."Gentlemen, she greeted the other men seated after she had acted like no one else existed in the room except me."You're welcome, Mrs. Stone. They said in unison.She pulled out
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Seventy Four
ALEXANDER'S POVA day had gone by after I had that lengthy meeting with my partners. I had quickly gone on Channels Tv to apologize for the misconduct and violent activity I was involved in.I did it to defend myself I had said. And I made sure it was recorded clearly. The WWBAT had called in a few days ago that I tendered an apology for acting like a child in public thereby defiling the award and recognition conferred on me some months ago. The award brought me lots of contracts and foreign clients I must say. And if I still wanted to stay at the top I must tender an apology to superiors in the game. I didn't hesitate to do that. I assigned the task of drafting a good and convincing apology letter to James, my assistant, who did a great job at making sure that my apology letter had so much remorse in it. I was to read it before the entire cabinet. Hurriedly I did what I had to do before the entire house and I was freed. Not from my rival but from the only organization that would det

HELENA'S POVLife has a way of tossing things we do not need at us. The war between two humans can only be settled by them if they have the sole desire to do so. My decision to stay and fight with aAlex despite the feud and hatred going on in our families was a strong courageous step for me. It took the bones in my body all it needed to strengthen me on that decision. Every other plan I made to uncover the truth was hidden from him except for the DNA test suggestion which of course he had to know of because he would be fully involved in it. Detective Sam was doing a good job especially after I told him of Gabriel's confession about constantly seeing Sophia with a certain man and when I asked him to give me vivid descriptions it fell again on the same man Don Derego.He has come to stay I think- he's stuck like a plague; a cankerworm and wants to eat gradually yet deep into the marrow.
