Blake’s POV“Okay, so where the hell did he say that my wife is? Is she at a hospital getting treatment or what?” I quickly asked, hoping that my worst fear hadn’t come to pass.If someone had noticed something to call the police, then it means that she at least has to be attended to.“Umm, I do not have concrete evidence on that now, but I can assure you that he will be thoroughly investigated as soon as he is brought in. My men just apprehended him now and I am calling to keep you updated on what is going on.” The Chief said.“thank you. I would be coming to the hospital right away.” I stated.He started to protest against my coming, but I didn’t bother to listen to him and simply ended the call.“Blake, where the hell are you going to?” Isabelle asked me as I stormed away from her.Like the piece of trash that she was, I ignored her completely and continued walking.“Blake, I am talking to you.” She grabbed my arm and I was forced to shoot her a very hard glare.“Don’t you ever dare
Helen’s POVBright lights kept flashing in my head, hurting every nerve in my body. I could hear numerous shouts, yelling at me to come back or freeze. The confusion was so loud, hurting my brain until finally I felt the heavy pain that pushed me down to the floor. The shock of hitting the ground did something to my brain and my eyes shot wide open. Sweat was drenched all over my body and I felt so hot. My eyes saw nothing except for a white wall and even at that, it was so hard for me to process what I was seeing.“Oh, my God. You are finally awake. I am so glad that you are awake.” A feminine voice said and I craned my neck to see an elderly woman by my side.She looked kind and welcoming, but even at that, I was really scared to face her. I didn’t know who she was or what she was doing besides me. There were a lot of questions that I needed answers to, but my mouth was too heavy to move at all.“Can you hear me?” She asked when I didn’t reply to her for a while.Slowly, I nodded m
Helen's POV "Where the hell did you get this photo from?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen where she was brewing a cup of coffee. She turned around, faced me, and accessed me for a few minutes. "Umm, that is my son's photo. Is anything wrong?" She asked and walked closer to me. I studied her face as she walked closer to me and I had to admit that the resemblance was indeed there. They looked so alike."What is your son's name?" I asked, trying to be certain that we were indeed talking about the same person. It could be someone else who looked so much like him. I didn't want to raise my hopes only to have it dashed again."Umm, I don't think you need that information. Can you just go and lie down, please? You would wear yourself out and that is not good for your health." She said, For someone who had kept me at her house instead of taking me to the hospital, she had no right to tell me what was good for my health or not. "You had better tell me what I need to know before I do
Blake's POV I lay on my bed, staring deep at the light bulbs overhead. I knew I shouldn't be staring into bright light like that, but I did not care. My life would end pretty soon, I may as well ruin my eyes and other parts of my body. There was nothing for me to be bothered about. Every day, I kept thinking of the best and perfect way to die, and yet, I never seemed to do it. It wasn't that I wasn't able to do it, I sincerely just wanted Travis's trial to be complete and give Helen the justice she deserves. I feared that if I killed myself, he would manage to bribe himself out of this case. She had no one to fight for her except me and I had failed her badly already. The only way I could give myself some success was to ensure that the bastard gets the death sentence. Despite all the torture and interrogation he has been through, he has refused to tell us where her body was. Even at that, he refused to admit to killing her. It was a psycho play and as much as it was annoying me,
Helen's POV A loud shriek escaped my mouth as the speeding vehicle almost crushed Blake's mom and me. I was about to go to the driver's side and yell at him when I recognized the car and Blake chose that moment to step out of his car. "Helen?" He called out.His face was riddled with the most shocked look I have ever seen in anyone and I was certain that mine mirrored his shock too. "Blake." I managed to whisper when we were standing mere centimeters away from each other. I could feel the warmth of his body and the heat from his breath. I didn't know what I was expecting when I met with him, but I wasn't expecting to be this overwhelmed by his presence. My entire body was shaking and my heart was beating so hard that I feared I was collapsed from the intensity of it all. In one swift movement, he wrapped his arms around me, bringing my body flush against his hard chest. I equally wrapped my hand around him, feeling the warmth of his body and enjoying every moment with him. Being a
Blake's POV I stared at Helen and even though I was certain that she was telling the truth, I didn't want to admit to it. My mom was long dead to me. There was no point in even acknowledging her existence. It still wasn't clear to me how she was able to reach Helen and even get familiar enough with her to come here, but one thing was certain. She was never coming back to our lives again. Not with the evil she had meted out on me and my father. Everyone had a great story to tell about their mother, but not me. Never me. She just had to be the most selfish woman ever. It was still a surprise that she had not tried to come into my life way before now. I had always expected her to come back with some sob story begging for my forgiveness. Well, now she had come, but it was not in the manner I had assumed it would ever happen."Blake!" Helen yelled, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Are you going to tell me what I need to know or not?" She hissed.I stared at her and let out a breath. "Hel
Helen's POV "So, she is indeed your mom. God, she wasn't lying after all." I yelled out animatedly, suddenly feeling so upbeat. Every form of tiredness I had in me suddenly eased off and I sat upright on the bed. Blake forced his gaze away from me and stared at his father."I don't know what you are talking about, Dad. Helen, however, has successfully returned home. That is all that matters. You should be glad that your daughter-in-law is back home." He said. The older Mr. Robinson eyed me for a moment and let out a long, slow hiss. Pain shot through me at his actions, but I quickly replaced whatever it was I was feeling with anger. He was the scoundrel of the earth. He didn't deserve any of my respect and with all he had done to that old woman, he deserved to rot in the deepest part of Hades. "Well, hopefully, when she gets to the police station, she will tell us what exactly happened to her and how she disappeared. For now, she should relax and enjoy herself." The elderly man s
Blake's POV "What's wrong?" I asked as soon as I found Helen and Dad staring awkwardly at each other in the small space. "Nothing. I was just catching up with Helen. She seems perfectly well okay. I think I will get going now. Have a nice day." Dad said and walked out of the small space. "What was that about?" I asked Helen as soon as Dad was gone. "He was asking about your mom. I am certain that he wants to harm her. Please, you need to go and help her." She said and tried to get up from the bed. A low chuckle escaped from my mouth. Dad going off to hurt the woman who had given birth to me was not something I would put past him. She deserved it. With all that she fad made me go through while growing up, she definitely deserved to suffer a bit. "Blake, stop laughing, and let's think of a way to help your mom." She pleaded."First of all, my dad is not some psycho who goes about hurting people. I am certain he would just want to warn her to stay away from me. You don't know what t
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
