last update Last Updated: 2025-01-11 23:38:29

Helen’s POV

Blake’s car rolled to a stop in front of his large company’s building. It was Monday and the start of a new week, however, I was still reeling from the heady kiss he had given me at Dominic’s party.

He had refused to say a word to me about the kiss after the party and honestly, I had not bothered to ask him about it, but I was still reeling. It had been nice and heady, stirring a hunger in me.

A hunger that persisted till now and I wished I was bold enough to ask him to satisfy my hunger.

“It is the start of a new week and you had better be on your best behaviour this week. We have managed to stay married for a full week, don’t make me regret my sacrifices in the past week.” He said before opening his door and coming out of the car.

There was no time for me to reply to him, so I nodded, opened my side of the door, and got out quickly. He was gone before I could come out of the car and I let out a deep breath, knowing I was all alone.

Well, maybe it was a good thing. T

    Blake’s POVI still felt it. The sharp intake of air from her nose when my lips clamped on hers, the shudder that passed through her body, and the harsh beat of her heart while I kissed her. She responded to my kiss in a way no woman ever had. I couldn’t take it out of my head and all I wanted to do right now was hold her and kiss her again. “Don't be silly, Blake. All of this is a ploy from her to get you to fall in love with her. Don’t let it happen.” The voice in my head admonished me and I nodded in agreement. She was a woman, a snake and none of her actions could be shrouded in truth. All women were constantly scheming and I wasn’t ready to let her get away with it. A knock came on my bedroom door, pulling me out of my wonderland. I stared at the door, wondering who the hell was there at this time.It was late in the night and I wasn’t expecting anyone. But then, it was only me and Helen at home, so it was obvious who it was. “What the hell do you want?” I barked as I pulled

    Helen's POV I walked into my office the next day to meet Dominic sitting at my desk with a not-so-good expression on his face. Alarm bells went up in my head as I instinctively knew that something was wrong. "What is wrong? You look so terrible this morning." I voiced out as I closed the distance between us, setting my bag on the table just beside him. I was still too shy to tell him about last night. Well, it was all my fault and I couldn't help but blame myself for taking his advice in the first place. "You can not keep on working for me." He said, causing my blood to freeze.For a moment, I just stood, watching him as his words echoed in my head."What the hell do you mean by that?" I demanded when the initial shock from his words had eased out."I mean that starting from today you are no longer my secretary." He said. "Why? What did I do wrong? I have tried to do my job to the best of my abilities. If I have done something wrong, please pardon me and I won't do it again." I p

    Blake's POV I watched Helen walk into my office with little timid steps. Her body was taut with apprehension, and I could swear that she was so scared of being here right now. Well, she had better be scared, because this wasn't going to be an easy ride for her. I had every intention of making her time working for me as unbearable as possible and I would get my revenge for what she had done to me last night.No woman has ever turned me on as she did last night. No woman had made me want to go crazy with need as she did. She hadn't done much to seduce me, and maybe that was where all the magic lay. That little innocence on her face almost made it seem as though she was scared to be naked before I had done me in."Get a grip on yourself, man. That was last night. You should be over it. Don't give her the chance to gain control of you." The tiny voice in my head admonished, causing me to steal my gaze at her. "Good morning, Mr. Robinson. I was told I was to resume here today." She said

    Helen's POV My entire body shook as I managed to get settled down at my new job. Of course, Blake just had to make a statement with me. The way he had spoken about putting Skylar in her place did a number on me. It was almost as though he was saying no one was worthy enough to be around him and I wondered just why he would think so. Maybe it was due to his riches, but even the richest men are still associated with people. It was clear he had problems with people, women in particular. From the way his dad had spoken earlier, I was certain one or both of them had been hurt by women. But how hard could a woman hurt him for him to turn out this way? I didn't know why, but all of a sudden, I wanted to get to know the real source of his troubles and offer my help in getting him healed. It would be a painful hell for someone to live with such a kind of hate in them and I wanted to free him. Despite all the evil my parents did to me, I haven't allowed myself to live with hate for them.

    Helen's POV "What the hell do you mean by the deal can't hold?" I heard Blake talking into the phone as I stormed into his office. His eyes raised to see me walking up to him and his already angry face hardened. "Hey, I am going to call you back." He said and ended the call. "What the hell are you doing here?" He barked at me. I flinched at the harsh tone of his voice and the courage with which I had stormed into his office evaporated into thin air. "I am talking to you, aren't I? Or are you deaf? Why the hell did you barge into my office that way?" He barked at me again and my body began shaking at this point. "I... I..." The more he walked towards me, the more scared I became and I desperately wanted to get saved from him. "Can't you talk? Oh my God. You repulse me. Just get the hell out of my office now before I do something silly and terrible to you." He warned. I nodded my head shakily and when I arrived at the door, I suddenly froze, recalling the motive and conviction I

  • Enslaved By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 29

    Blake's POV I watched her walk out of my office with her back hunched over. The pain in her eyes had almost gotten to me, but I was made of steel and had refused to get affected by her pain. She had brought all of this up on herself and I wasn't going to let myself be blamed for something I had no control over. The moment she was out of my office, I plopped down to my ergonomic chair with a thud and felt a little pain race up my spine. Letting out a deep breath, I looked at my computer and got back to work.Her analysis of me was oddly correct, and I wondered how she was able to figure out that I had a deep-rooted issue with women. I wouldn't agree with her choice of words about me hating women, but it didn't change the fact that I couldn't ever bring myself to trust women. Memories of that fateful day filled my head and no matter how much I tried to forget it, it always came up, strong and dominant in my head, filling me with so much pain. "Enough!" I hissed and faced my compute

    Blake's POVI let out a breath as soon as it was time to get off work. For hours, I had sat at my desk, debating how best to navigate clinching this contract with Mr. Michigan without blowing off too much money. My rivals were offering a whole lot, and the only chance of pushing them off was to bid twice higher, and honestly, that wouldn't sit well with my company's board. The board was filled with dishonest envious old men who would do anything to take over my position as CEO. They picked at every action of mine and tried to find faults where there were none. "You will figure this out, Blake. You just have to give yourself some time." I said to myself and grabbed my effects. Helen was waiting for me by the door. Our eyes met as soon as I stepped out and she immediately hid her gaze.Seeing her suddenly resurrected the embarrassment I felt when she successfully fixed my trackpad despite my doubts. She made me look like a fool. Even though I had finally admitted she was no fool, I

    Helen's POV We stepped into the gala venue and the breath was almost seized from my lungs.If I thought Dominic's party was magic, then this was certainly heaven itself. The decor, despite being less than Dominic's, was more intentionally done. The theme of the party, however, made me very giddy, and I wondered if our brief encounter with the dogs had motivated him to bring me here.It was a fundraising gala for sick dogs. Beautiful pictures of saved dogs were displayed on several screens and I couldn't help but be taken in by the beautiful work this group was doing. How the hell didn't I know about them? The fact that I was an ardent dog lover was enough reason for me to know who these guys were. But then, it wasn't my fault. With my parents, there was no way in hell I could have a life outside of all the numerous jobs they had laden me with severally. "What the hell are you doing here?" My mom's voice pulled me out of my wonder stare and I craned my neck to see my mom and dad wa

    Blake's POV "Wait! Wait! Wait!" Dad's eyes sparkled with shock as he faced me fully, focusing all of his attention on me. "So you mean to tell me that Dominic is accusing me of lying again, Helen? You mean the one person you called your best friend has the nerve to belittle my person?" Dad asked."No, Dad. That isn't what I meant. He didn't accuse you per se. He just mentioned that he had overheard you talking with the accountant to send some funds to Helen's account. He had simply mentioned that to try to rationalize why there was a transfer from the company's account to hers." I said, trying to save Dominic from the wrath of my father's anger.Moreover, at this point, Dominic's words had checked out with Oscar's revelation. I just needed Dad to admit to this, and hopefully, I can find a way to ensure the FCI killed the case, and we could all go back to our normal lives."Oh? And where did he overhear this conversation? How is he certain it was indeed me he saw?" He asked. I let o

    Blake's POV "Well, I haven't heard a word about this from my dad, but I will make my findings and get back to you. Thank you for telling me this." I said, after processing his words. He had no reason to lie to me. He was my best friend after all. His accusation against my dad may not be true, but it didn't mean that I wasn't going to check it out. If the accountant had made that transfer to her account, he had better tell me why and who had authorized the transaction. The money was no longer in Helen's account as it had been moved to a crypto wallet long ago. Our company didn't pay money into crypto accounts as they were hard to track and trace. With the amount of funds my company dealt with, it would be very dangerous for us to make such transactions that were hard to trace. "Fine. Do what you have to do, but always remind yourself that Helen is no thief. She is an honest woman and the best you would ever get out there." He said and walked out of my office. He had not left the o

    Blake's POV "What's wrong man? You look so stressed out right now." I said to him immediately that he was seated opposite me on the chair. "I am stressed out, but I am more worried about you." He said and fixed his focus on me. I let out a sigh and relaxed against my chair. "It's nothing to worry about. The authorities would thoroughly investigate these allegations against Helen and the company and I am certain the truth would come out soon." I said to him, trying so hard not to think about how badly these allegations were affecting us. A lot of brands and companies we were working with were already reaching out to us, asking sensitive questions. I could hear the distrust in their queries, and if this case wasn't well handled, we could lose a lot of deals, and I wasn't ready for that to happen. My dad and I have worked so hard to bring this company to where it currently is. There was no way in hell I was letting anyone take what belonged to us. "Don't you think the authorities

    Blake's POV I woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. My eyes had a hard time adjusting to the light and I feared that something terrible must have happened to me. I looked around and through my foggy haze, I saw that I was in my bedroom. Slowly, memories of last night drifted into my head, and I let out a painful groan. I had gone out and gotten drunk when I knew I was coming home to a house without Helen. The urge to call her and beg her to come back home was so strong and it took everything in me not to fall in for it. Gaining enough momentum, I sat upright, and only then did I notice the body beside me. "Jesus!" I yelled out in shock, wondering who was lying beside me. I didn't remember calling Helen and asking her to come home with me, so who could be lying on my bed right now?My scream startled the person and she jumped awake. My fear immediately morphed into anger as soon as I realized it was Isabella lying beside me. "What the hell are you doing here and on t

    Isabella's POV I glared at Blake's housekeeper who had been keeping tabs on me ever since he left. She had voiced out to me several times since he left that I needed to leave the house, but I paid her no heed. This wasn't her home and there was no way a lowly maid like her would try to tell me what to do. The other maids who worked under her had all kept their cool and avoided me, but she was trying to act as though she owned the house and could do whatever she wanted with it. "Ma'am, I do not want to get into any trouble with Mr. Blake Robinson. I am certain you heard his warning before he left. Can you please leave now? My boss can be pretty unpredictable, and he could come back here anytime. I do not want him to get angry on seeing you here. He is currently going through a lot and would appreciate whatever rest or break he can get." She came over to me one more time and asked. If she wasn't so old, I would have said she was trying to score Blake for herself. Well, even if that

    Helen's POV I laid on the same small thin mattress I had managed while living with my parents. Despite not sleeping on this old thin mattress for months, my body had quickly acclimatized to it, knowing fully well that it was the only mattress my parents were willing to offer me. I was lucky to have a roof over my head and was currently thinking up plans on how to make a living. My account has been frozen by the orders of the FCI and knowing my family, I was bound to have it really bad surviving. My phone rang for a second and went off, grabbing my attention. I picked it up and found a missed call from the last person I ever expected to call me.My fingers shook as I stared at the words I had used to save his number, My World. He was my world and had made my life worth living, even if it was only for a few months. Well, not until now that he asked me to leave. Staring at my phone's screen, I wondered why he was calling me. What did he want to say? Did he want me back home? I wonde

  • Enslaved By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 135

    Blake's POV I sat on my bed, lost in thoughts. The numerous happy memories Helen and I always had in this room flooded my head. All I wanted right now was to be with and rest my head in the cocoon of her hands. I always enjoyed laying in the bosom of her breast, but with the current situation of things, it was impossible. "She is gone, Blake. Get a grip on yourself and get to work." I pulled myself out of the reverie and looked down at the tie in my hand. Helen had always tied my tie whenever I was heading to work. Her absence was a strong blow to me and I was having a hard time adjusting. I finally managed to get the tie on and picked up my office bag. "Have a nice day at work, Mr. Robinson." Felicia waved at me with a pitiful glance. Was Helen's absence this bad on me? God, I needed to get a grip on myself.I pulled the front door open, and the sight that greeted me caused a deep, sour scowl to appear on my face. "Why the hell are you acting as though you have just seen a gho

We looked so good together and I wished he could see exactly what I saw."Very soon, Isabella. Very soon, you will be together with the man you love." I motivated myself.I was about to slide to the next batch of photos I had created when my cell phone rang. Of course, it was my mom calling and I scrunched up my nose in disgust. Dad has been using her to pester the living hell out of me and I was super tired of being berated. They wanted me to come back home and I did not. Being at home would be a constant reminder that Helen was living my life and I didn't want that. "What do you want?" I barked into the phone as soon as I answered it. "Can you just stop being so harsh and unkind to your mother? What's with the attitude?" She reprimanded."I am being harsh to you because you are being unkind to me. If you are calling about berat

    Helen's POV I wasn't surprised by my mom's words, but I at least expected her to show some empathy to me. I was the reason they still had a roof over their heads. She may hate me, but according to the law, I was her daughter, and she ought to take me in. "Mom, you can't say that. You are my mom. This is my family home, I should be welcome here." I said, hoping to change her mind. "You are my daughter, but it doesn't mean this is your home. You are married now. Your home is wherever your husband is. Why aren't you with your husband?" She asked.My eyes dropped to the floor as I gathered the courage to tell her the truth. "Blake asked me to leave," I confessed. "What?" She screamed and burst out into laughter. "You don't mean that, do you? Oh my God, your dad needs to hear of this." She chortled harder, laughing like the maniac that she was. "Mom, this isn't something to laugh about. Someone is doing something sinister to my reputation and my life. We need to stick together to fin
