Blake's POV Despite all the words from the officers that Dominic wasn't allowed to see visitors except his lawyer, I was able to convince them to let me go in and see him even if it was for a few minutes. This had to be one of the perks of being rich. You could go wherever you wanted with no fear and get whatever you wanted. "Here you go, sir." The young officer led me to the visitation area. I sat behind the glass and in no time, Dominic was led out with handcuffs in his hands. In a million years, I would never have thought that Dominic would ever be in this kind of situation. With the new pieces of evidence that had come to light, I now knew for a fact that my best friend wasn't a good person. How could I have made such a bad decision for a friend? Did he ever care about me, or was he only drawn by my money? It didn't make sense for him to stoop this low, especially since he was also born into wealth. "Why are you here again? To make silly accusations at me?" He asked with a s
Blake's POV "Helen?" I couldn't stop myself from calling out her name. This was the first time I was setting my eyes on her in days. My body was shaking with a nervous kind of energy and even though she had come here to talk to Dominic, I wanted to pin her against the wall and let her know just how much I have missed her. "Blake?" She called out in shock, staring at me as though she had just seen a ghost. I saw the hunger in her eyes and it did something so unimaginable to me. I really wanted her and the look in her eyes told me she wanted me to. If Dominic had tricked her into scamming me, I was going to make sure that the bastard paid for it. "What the hell are you doing here?" She asked after a few quiet seconds had passed between us. "I just got out of a discussion with Dominic," I said and watched her reaction closely."Oh, my God. You are such a god sent." She said and my heart tore seeing the relief on her face. "How is he? How is he taking all of this? I was so shocked
Helen's POV "You know, what? I am certain of this. You and Dominic really do have something going on. He might have tricked you into it, but you definitely have something going on." Blake said, disrupting the silence between us. My eyes blazed hot at this statement. There was absolutely nothing going on between Dominic and I. He was only a concerned friend whose benevolence I wanted to repay."Blake, you are mad at us, and I understand that, but believe me when I say that nothing is going on between Dominic and me.”“Anyway, this isn't why I am here. I am here to see Dominic and I would appreciate it so much if you can make that happen. The officers here are telling me I am not allowed to go in and see him." I said, hoping I would be able to draw out that favor from him. If he could spare a few minutes to talk to me, then it meant that he still had some feelings for me and I better use that to my advantage here."Unfortunately, I would not be able to help you with that." He said.
Isabella's POV I smacked my lips together, testing the new makeup products I had bought for myself from my shopping spree.With Blake out in the market now, I needed to make sure I left no stone unturned in getting him back into my life. He deserved me. We were meant to be together, and with his father's plan currently rolling, he is bound to fall into my arms anytime soon. "You would get him, Isabella. You are the only woman for him." I said and stood up, revealing my full length in the mirror.I may not be as curvy as Helen, but I was more than certain that I looked way hotter than her. She didn't have the confidence and seductive gaze that I had. Men were simply beings, but she still didn't know shit about how to pleasure a man. I was a pro and I would give Blake everything he wants in a woman.I was still admiring myself in the mirror when my phone rang. As usual, it was my mom. It worried me a bit knowing that the only person who bothered to call my phone was my mom. None of
Helen's POV I graced the microphone with a smile on my face. I had no interest in doing any of his, but Blake had insisted that we do. He said it was important that we cleared our names. The FCI had already given a report to say that Dominic was behind all the fraud in the company. I wondered just how much Blake had to push forward to make them drop my name from the case and pin it on Dominic. I knew for a fact that Dominic was innocent of all charges. When Blake had told his dad about this press conference today, the old man had gone berserk on hearing that he and I were back together. That only further convinced me that Dominic was right. The older Mr. Robinson didn't like me and he may do even worse right now to make sure that Blake and I are never together. I still couldn't understand why the man hated me this much and hoped with everything in me that I would never ever fall into any of his traps again. Just as I was about to speak, my eyes caught a very familiar body frame f
Helen's POV My eyes fluttered wide open to be greeted by dark, dank, and dusty surroundings. I couldn't say exactly where I was, but I was certain this was not a place one was meant to be at."Where am I?" I asked no one in particular as I tried to get up from the chair I was seated on. Unfortunately, my body was unable to get up as ropes were tugging at different parts of my body. "What the hell is going on here?" I asked no one in particular as I tried to free my hands from the ropes keeping them bound behind the chair. But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't free myself or my hand. My feet were also bound, and I could not feel them at this point."What is going on, Helen?" I asked myself and tugged harder at the ropes. Images from the press conference flooded my head, and I recalled my sister showing proof of her and Blake being together. A sharp pain stung my heart and I quickly blinked back the tears that were threatening to run down my eyes and embarrass me. I was
Blake’s POVI paced from one corner of my sitting room to the next. This wasn’t happening. It couldn’t be happening. There was no way in hell Helen could be missing, not when I had finally managed to get her back by my side. Yes, I had intended to punish her and keep her far away from Dominic, but as it stands now, it seems other forces were trying to keep her far away from me. As soon as Jeffery, the head of my security team, had come to inform me that Helen had been kidnapped, my mind had immediately gone to Dominic. They might have planned this so she could get away from me and be with him as much as she liked. However, my brief conversation with him showed that he had no idea of her kidnap. My current suspect was Isabella and Dad, but they have refused to say a thing, both of them maintaining that they know nothing of what is currently going on. “You know, Dad, if you don’t tell me the truth, I am going to report you and this little lying whore to the police,” I growled at my
Blake's POV "Helen?" I called out in both fear and relief.The fear was because I didn't know what the hell she was currently going through and the relief was because she was still alive. The fact that she had not run away from me also filled me with relief."Blake, I..." She never got to finish her sentence to me because the phone was quickly taken out of her mouth. "You both sound very excited to be hearing from each other," Travis said. I gritted hard on my teeth as my palm curled harder around my phone. Adrenaline and anger were quickly rising in me and I couldn't wait to put this bastard in jail where he belonged. For months, the police had been searching for him. And now, he had the effrontery to kidnap my woman and call me. Well, this time around, I was more than ready to kill him if I had to. I had yet to get justice for what he had done to me, and now, he wanted to do the same to my wife. That wouldn't be possible. "Let my wife go this instant, you bastard, or else, I
Blake's POV I stood in front of the altar watching her walk over to me. This time around, I was certain there would be no Isabella to crash the wedding, nor my father to make silly scheming plots. This was just me and Helen, saying our vows and tightening the bond that held us together.My mom, her dad, Dominic, Elizabeth, and Felicia were all in attendance. It was a small ceremony composed of all the people that mattered. This was exactly what she had envisioned and I was super glad that we had managed to bring it to life. "Hey." She beamed at me as soon as I clasped my hands in hers. "Hey," I replied to her and led her up to the altar.We both faced each other and even though we were surrounded by quite a few people, she was the only one I could see right now. God, my entire world is composed of her. It was so interesting how I had gone from not caring about any woman at all to caring about one woman so much and the little life she was growing within her.Yeah, you heard that ri
Blake's POV I quickly parked in front of the shelter Jeffery had sent me the location of. The police were still on their way according to their last report. I was advised to stand down and wait until they got here, but I just couldn't. This was Helen we were talking about for God's sake. I was not ready to let any harm come to her. My private security was with me, and that was all the protection I would need. I could hear the sounds of gunshots, and I was certain it was Jeffrey and the small team he had brought here to work. "Sir, I would need you to stay here in the vehicle while we go out there and assess the situation. As soon as it is safe for you to come out, I will let you know." The head of Helen's bodyguards said. I shot the man a harsh glare, reminding him that all of this was half his fault. If only he had ignored all her silly warnings and stayed with her, none of this would be happening. "Fine, you can come with us, but you need to stay behind me at all times." He wa
Helen's POV "Please just let me go. I promise you that I would not say a word about this to anyone." I said after the bodyguard was done tying me up. "Unfortunately, that is not possible. Blake and all the security agencies are already looking for you. If they find you, they would hound you for the truth and you would sing like a canary. I can not afford to have you rat me out to the police." The old man said. "I won't mention your name. Look, we can pin it on Isabella. I will tell them I managed to escape from her and that will be all. Please, just let me go. Remember that I am your son's wife." I said and quickly regretted that. He hated the fact that I was Blake's wife. I was supposed to be a constant source of irritation for Blake and not the woman whom he loves with his all. It was crazy and annoying all at the same time. "Well, I never wanted you to get married to my son in the first place. Moreover, with what you have done to Isabella, I think it is only fair that you suff
Helen's POVI fretted as I watched my sister go unconscious beneath me. I grabbed her hand and tried to wake her up, but she wasn't responding. I could not tell if I had killed her or not and I felt really bad. "Helen, you need to get a hold of yourself. You didn't kill her. Even if she is dead, it is not your fault. You are simply trying to escape." I said to myself, trying to calm my racing heart down. How quickly everything had changed was still a surprise to me. Who would have thought that the reason why my sister hated me so much was because I was pretty and good? All my life, I had thought I was not good enough and it was the reason why they all hated me. Well, now I know the truth and if I managed to escape from here today, I would never listen to her again. "You would not have been in this situation if you had just listened to Blake," I said to myself as I walked towards the door that led out of the bunker. The path leading to it was slant, helping to make it easy for on
Isabella's POV I walked from one corner of the bunker to the other, thinking of the best way to kill Helen. I had not expected that Blake would be so swift in his search for Helen. I had assumed that I would have enough time to torture her well enough to make her death memorable. But with Mike's call, I had to rush all of this, and it would no longer be any fun for me. "You know, instead of prancing from one corner to the other, you should kill me and get done and over with this." Helen hissed at me from behind me. I turned around, faced her, and brushed my teeth."You are funny, you know that right? You are my prisoner and I can do whatever it is that I want to do to you. You have absolutely no right to tell me what to do. If I want to kill you, then I will kill you right now and here." I hissed at her, my hate for her multiplied in multiple dimensions. "Then kill me now and get done and over with it." She spat at me. I touched the thick, slimy liquid she had thrown on my face
Blake's POV "So what exactly is it that she has against you that would make you release her from prison when she had tried to kill your son?" I asked him. He was my dad and ought to have my back all the time, so why was he betraying me? Did he hate me so much that he was willing to work with my enemy? "Something against me?" He raised a brow. "Oh, please, stop acting like I am a fool. I know you well enough. You would not free her if she didn't have something incriminating against you.”“Trust me, Skylar isn't so valuable to you that you would free her for no reason. She must have something against you and you must tell me what it is right now." I hissed at him."And if I refuse to tell you?" He raised a brow."Trust me, Dad, you don't want to cross me." I threatened. He sighed and fell into his chair. "Fine. We were lovers. She managed to get a couple of recordings against me and threatened she would leak them out to the public if I didn't help her. Now, there you have it. That
Blake's POV I sat in a nondescript van a few meters away from my dad's home watching him. I couldn't shake off the feeling that he knew something and was willing to stay here until I finally got the information from him that I needed. With Jeffery's help, I was able to slip a bug into his home, but that hadn't turned anything out yet.It didn't cover everywhere in the house, and I couldn't tell if he had found the bug and was simply keeping it shut so as not to implicate himself. My dad was a smart man and one needed to act smartly around him. My phone vibrated in my pocket, and I pulled out, eager to get some updates. The police had been informed, Helen's security team was searching for her and my private investigator was on the move. I was expecting an update from all three teams, and thankfully, it was my private investigator calling me. "Please, tell me that you have found that bitch." I hissed into the phone. "Yes, we have and I have her here with me. I will send you our loca
Helen's POVMy eyes fluttered open and pain exploded in my head. I tried to place a hand on my head to manage the pain, but I saw that I could not lift my hands. My hands were tied to my legs with a tight rope. I was lying on my side and couldn't exactly say where I was, except that everywhere was dark and I was in motion. The last thing I recalled was walking into the bathroom with Isabella. Isabella! I thought and my eyes popped wide open. Where the hell was she and what had happened to the both of us?"Isabella?" I called out, but there was no response. I shut my eyes, trying to recall what the hell had happened and how I ended up here. A bump caused my eyes to snap open, pulling me out of my focused state. It was so hard to stay focused in this state, and I wondered where I was being taken. The fact that I could not recall a thing only managed to get me so annoyed and I wanted to run mad. "Who the hell are you and what do you want with me?" I hissed and banged hard on the ro
Blake's POV "I am so so sorry about this sir. I don't know how all of this had happened. She went out to the restroom with her younger sister and since Mrs. Robinson had given me and my men a firm warning never to follow her to the bathroom, we decided to keep our distance. I am still very much clueless on how the hell this happened." The head of Helen's security said to me the moment he walked over to me.I glared at the man and even though I could see the regret and pain in his eyes, I jerked him by the collar and pushed him into the wall. His negligence had just cost me so much pain and there was no way in hell I was letting this go as just some innocent mistake. He had hurt me, and I was going to make sure that he felt every ounce of pain I was feeling."You had one job to do, only one freaking job and you had to mess that up. Isn't that silly? I thought you were a professional, I didn't know that you were a big clown. God, I regret ever working with you.”“Just pray, pray with
