AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Thirty
HELENA’S POVWe were still asleep when we heard the bang on the front door. We both rolled out of each other’s arms. I laid on the bed and stretched myself while Alexander went by his window to check if any car had pulled in while we were still asleep. Shit! He jumped back to the side of the bed."You need to go to your room as soon as possible". He told me and began to jump quickly into his clothes.“What’s the problem?’ I was confused and panicked all at once."Mom is here” he finally answered.Fuck. Shit!I jumped out of the sheet naked. I ran over the other edge of the bed to get my clothes. I didn’t bother to put them on. As I raced out Alexander grabbed me by the arm and kissed me, then told me to stay in my room.I got this baby. Just wait for me” he said and hurried out too. I got to my room and wore my big pajamas like I had always done when I was first brought into this house. The banging on the door didn’t stop until Alexander had opened up.'Since when did you remove my

ALEXANDER’S POVI have to be honest. This was the first time since I have been with Helena I am seeing her pack up so much anger. I bumped into her just by entrance. She had probably been eavesdropping on my conversation with my mother. You know how petty women came be, jumping into conclusions without actually wanting to find out the truth of the matter. Helena’s eyes were bloodshot red and it seemed like she’d been crying before now. Arms fooled under her breast, I knew there was trouble lurking behind that look but I pretended I hadn’t noticed the anger in her face.“Hey babes, you are here already. Mom’s gone. I said. I was nervous but I had to maintain a steady voice while talking to her. Maybe she didn’t hear anything, maybe she just came downstairs to check on me since I had taken so much time, I thought but I was far from the truth when the trouble finally hit me.“Do not touch”. She said and yanked her arms off my hand the moment I tried to touch her.“Babe, what’s wrong?” I

ALEXANDER’S POVIt’s been a week since I last had an argument with Helena. She has deliberately locked herself up in her room for the past seven days and only come out to get what to eat when I am gone to work. I had to call Maggie to resume work after the first few days of our argument because Helena has refused to come out and even when she finally does she wouldn’t talk to me. She was giving me the silent treatment which was killing me deep down. I felt like thorns were plunged into my skin, piercing my body every single time I tried to make things right. It wasn’t my fault that all of this happened anyway but she had to make me suffer for the sins of my mother. I had still had to make sure I put all protective measures in place just to make sure she is safe even when I am away for work just in case she wants to out on her own or something. She isn’t allowed to go out on her own but I know Helena too well, once she’s resisted from doing what she wants she would tag it as being cage

ALEXANDER'S POV James had a way of making me strong with his words I have always hoped to be stronger than my father but the obstacles around me were beginning to get really tough. I didn't know how to go about my fears right now. I haven't really had fears in my life except for the faer of my mom since I was kid but right now everything hits differently I think I would just go with James advice.

HELENA'S POV I had only gone out to get a few things I would be needing. I had run out of soaps and a few other toiletries I needed to get for the house. Normally, I wouldn't have gone by myself but because I was so bored at home I had to take the risk to get to the shop. I told the driver where I was going and we began the journey. We had driven just a few miles away from the house when I noticed the driver stealing glances through the rear mirror in front of him. He had noticed the strange vehicle behind us and since I was at the back u didn't notice anything. I was busy on my phone watching a TikTok live show of my favorite celebrity Steve Harvey. I only looked up when I heard the driver say to me."Ma'am I think we are being followed".And then he took the left turn instead of the one on the right. He was smart enough to quickly call some security agents. I didn't know that we had guards watching us as well. With the speed I thought I was going to lose my life at that point. I w

ALEXANDER'S POVMy eyes shot open at 6:00am as usual. I didnt have to look at the clock to know if it's 6:00am. I've always had the urge to wake up once its 6am and it has always been accurate. I took the duvet off me, slide out of my bed and began my daily routine beside my bed. My pillows perfectly alligned and carefully laid on the bed, shelfs pulled, tight ,and my duvet folded just right. I nodded to myself when i saw the finished outcome. I walked over to my bathroom for the next chapter of my morning routine, it was a ritual i never missed; i brushed my teeth, washed my face and showered. I grabbed the outfit i put together last night and got dressed in it. My hair and makeup are always the last on my list as i do not want any colours or powders spilling on my dress. I wore my dress shortly after and took my time to do my makeup so it's out finely each time. I nodded at the superb job and examine it on the mirror dresser. I finished my look with a high ponytail, and heels whic

HELENA'S POVWe thanked the doctor and left. By the time we got back to the ward. Zayn's breathing was already going back to normal. All of this was my fault because he was sweating heavily during most of the lights. I had thought that it was only normal to keep up the A/C although I try as much as I can to regulate it when it's getting too chilly. Zayn always had beads of sweat on his head and so I adducted the no woody method for him, unlike his Identical twin Zahir who never had sweat and was always calm even when the heat it much.loved my boys and maybe after these experiences, I would know just how to observe and even care for another child.

I felt the sudden surge of wanting to be more influential. I managed to creep myself out of bed. I was not going anywhere today. The several hours of standing and dancing on a yacht in the middle of the sea were now telling me badly. My entire feet hurt the moment I woke up.I searched around the bed and didn't find Alex. We had agreed to leave the boys with Bella so Alex and I could have some time to ourselves.

HELENA'S POVAlex and I continued to dance. We swerved in the same rhythm for about fifteen minutes after taking our vows. This was an awesome moment for me. I knew life would be much easier and smooth now that we have done things the right way. Alex was hard-working and I too gradually grew into a great woman. For my company at least a year I should be able to boast of twenty to twenty-five employees. I had a few contracts I needed to close after the entire celebration."Have I told you you are beautiful?" Alex asked him. His hands were on my waist."Do you mean today?" Yes,"Well, you haven't told me that today"."Helena Alexander Stone".I blushed. My cheek burned. I pressed MY cheek against his chest. I felt warm and protected in the arms of my own man. "So, what now?""What do you mean now? HE asked as he chuckled. He paused and stared into the crowd."Are you expecting anyone?" "Not exactly"."You the last time we got married an enemy showed up so I was just checking to see i

HELENA'S POVTwo weeks later I had suddenly become friends with my best friend's girlfriend Cherry. Cherry would be the sister I never had. She did everything with professionalism and the fact that she would be my best friend's wife in a few months makes me want to draw her to me forever. We've had a few dinners at home together and she has always helped with picking out the best decor and designs we would use for my big day. I have known her only a few weeks but I must say that she is truly an angel. Gabriel needed a woman like her around him. She is so re-spirited and loving that I wished she was my friend from the very beginning. She sure knows her job and does it with so much enthusiasm. "With the way you vibe so much with your event planner, one would think you too have been friends from Genesis" Alex had told me on one of the days I was so excited talking about how good she is with her job and how I couldn't wait to see all she was going to do at the wedding.

HELENA'S POVI slept off on Alexander's chest. This has got to be the most horrible night of my life. I was exhausted by the time the sun hit my face from the window. Baby Zahir was awake too. He gave me a welcome smile. I pinched his little cheeks softly and then I suddenly remembered that we had spent the night at the hospital. Alex was awake all through. I was sure he was finally swept off by sleep at the very nearly hours of the morning after being a strong watch to me and the kids. On this part, I was vulnerable and soft. I could barely take good care of myself and talk more about adding extra humans to my list. My hair was a mess. Erect like grasses of the field the strands stood. "Good morning my love," Alex said and kissed me on the cheek. "Good morning baby" I kissed back. Then I realized I had been sitting on his lap for a long time. I got up and proceeded to check Zayn a bit. To my greatest surprise, the young man was fully awake. He has changed mine for today I don't k

HELENA'S POVI managed to stay calm. With Bella by my side, I was sure I would be strong through the process. She held baby Zahir while I paced the private room back and forth waiting for the doctors to come with feedback or something we can hold as the sole cause of this sudden illness. We've been in the hospital for about forty-five minutes. Alex showed up just in time. I was holding my little boy's hand when he pushed the door softly and peered his head into the room. He searched it to be sure he was in the right room before coming in. I took in a deep breath of relief and walked over to him. I buried my head in his chest as he hugged me. His cologne, a scent I was already used to replenishing my nostrils left me with a sense of protection and hope. I was more than happy he had shown up even though the results of the numerous tests would be available.Thank God you're here". I told him. He quickly ran his hands on my shoulder and kissed my head."I ran here as soon as a store call
