AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Twenty Eight
ALEXANDER’S POVSince the very first day I made love to Helena I knew she had been abused or something bad must have happened to her to make her want to abstain from sex for so long. She was unusually tight but when we finished I didn’t see any blood on my dick or on the bed indicating that I had just broken a fresh hymen. Sao when she told me the reason behind her shyness towards me whenever we made it, I felt so sorry for her. I want to be there for her. To protect her at all times, as much as u can. She was soft and had a kind heart. These days getting a woman with such qualities is not so easy and I strongly believe that if she’s given an opportunity to prove herself in a more formal situation with more tasks at hand she would deliver. She was smart and only needed a little grooming to push her to the limelight of the kind I wanted for myself. Well my mom hasn’t known yet that she gave me a treasure to value and keep for myself alone. This was almost a week since she last had that

ALEXANDER’S POVI called a meeting with the chief security officer at the office and told them the situation on ground. I didn’t literally tell them I was being threatened by some unknown person but I saw the need to urge them to be alert when on duty because I do not want anything going with any staff at the moment. I know you’ll be wondering what happened to me. Why have I suddenly changed? Well love happened. The few weeks I spent with Helena at the hospital has taught me a few things about love and how to treat people. Firstly, that humans deserve to be treated right and two that we all deserve love and second chances. Well’ I know for sure I have wronged a lot of my staff in one way or the other and even the ones I had fired for no just cause. I cannot go begging and pleading with them for forgiveness so this is the only way I can show them how deeply sorry I am for how I have been treated like I was a monster. I told them to man the gates at all times and always be alert. After

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
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Thirty One
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

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.

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.

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.

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?"

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
