Helen's POV "So what if Miss DuPont is living in his old apartment? There is no way that woman can hurt him. She is very petite." Blake's dad said and I almost rolled my eyes at him. There were a lot of ways things could go wrong with their meeting. She was mad at him when he threw her out of the office and I had strong reasons to believe that she must have done something to get back at him."Sir, this little piece of information means a lot. This could be the breakthrough in this case. He could be with her for all we know. If he isn't with her, we can at least question her to know what he was doing there." Jeffery explained. Mr. Robinson didn't look pleased with that explanation and I wondered why. He ought to be grateful that we were making headway in this case. Skylar may not look dangerous on the surface, but I have been around evil people long enough to know one couldn't judge evil people by their appearance alone. Her threats to me the day I took over her position danced in
Helen’s POV“Where the hell are you all going?” Skylar complained as we filed into her house.“Mr. Robinson, please talk to me, what is this all about?” She turned to Blake’s father, but he ignored her.“Can someone please talk to me?” She asked, but I ignored her."Miss Skylar, you need to calm down. We are just here to ask you a few questions, nothing else. Just cooperate with us, and we will be out of here soon.” Jeffrey calmed her down.Her eyes darted at everyone in the room, but they rested on me for a minute longer. Her look at me was heated and almost devilish, but I maintained my cool and sat down, refusing to let her get me angry.“Fine. I just hope this fool here hasn't done anything to harm my Blake.” She hissed and plopped down to one of the empty chairs.Everyone stared at me accusingly and I swallowed hard, doing my best to keep my emotions in check. There was no way I was letting her raise a reaction from me. I was more than that and I was interested in showing that fa
Helen’s POV“Did you hear that?” I asked the guard who had come out with me.“Ermm, yeah. I heard something but I think it was too mute for me to make sense of what it was.” He concurred.Without wasting a second, I stormed back into the apartment, startling everyone in the room.“What the hell is wrong with you, Helen? You scared everyone.” Mr. Robinson Snr complained after he saw it was just me.“I heard a thud and a small call for help from the apartment beside this one. I think we should go in and check it out.” I said.Jeffrey looked past me and at the guard who had been with me. “Is that true, Phil?”“Yes, boss. I can not make sense of what was said, but we did hear something.” He concurred.“Oh my God. You are just too dramatic Helen. No wonder Blake hates you so much and thinks you are dramatic. That must just have been my neighbors at it with their drama once again. You do not have to worry yourself with them.” Skylar hissed in annoyance.Everyone, including me, stared at her
Helen’s POV“It could have been rats, okay. Look I haven’t been here for a very long time. There is no way I can know what the hell goes on here all the time. Cut me some slack please.” Skylar hissed and stepped out of the empty apartment. There was something off and suspicious about the way she was behaving. She wasn’t telling us everything and I needed to force it out of her. “Alright, this is a dead end. But if he is on this floor, then he is in one of these apartments. We just have to search hard.” Jeffrey said and with a flick of his hand, the members of his team filed out of the apartment. “I have to ask you three to wait in Mr. Blake’s old apartment while my team and I handle this search.” Jeffrey faced Mr. Robinson Snr, Skylar, and I. “No. I must be a part of the search for my son. Moreover, I can not stand the bickering of these ladies. They might talk my head off before you find my son and I can’t afford that.” The old man hissed, eyeing Skylar and I. “Fine. Come with u
Helen’s POV“Blake?” I called out in shock as I rushed over to him. He was almost unrecognizable, but the suit on him was the same one he had left home with. “What the hell happened to you?” I asked him even though he was unresponsive. There was something so lifeless about him that sent chills down my body. Could he be dead? No! There was no way that could be.“Blake woke up. Please wake up.” I pleaded as I tried to force him to come back to consciousness. “Let me call the boss.” The bodyguard said and dashed out. “Blake please wake up.” I continued pleading, and I clutched hard at him, but there was no response from him. “It’s okay, Helen. Let us take him to the hospital first. He is going to be okay.” Dominic tried to pry me away from him, but I didn't listen to his words. I continued yelling and begging for Blake to wake up but nothing did the trick. In no time, Jeffrey and his team arrived, and my hurt was nothing compared to their strength, they pried me away and took him
Blake’s POV“Yes, that is all that happened. Travis Greene was supposed to come back and finish me off, but I was found right on time.” I explained to the officers who were taking my statement. From their actions and demeanor, I could tell that they were taking my attack seriously. It was still a miracle how I was able to survive this. My greatest shock, however, was finding out that Skylar was working with him. Yes, I was aware of the fact that one could never trust a woman, but I never expected that she would stoop so low just to get at me. Conniving with my worst enemy to kill me was all too new and I couldn’t believe it. “Why did he leave?” The officer who was questioning me asked after scribbling some words in his notebook. “He wanted to take his time in killing me. He needed this to be a slow death. He wanted to revel in my pain.” A bitter taste settled in my mouth. “He had fired a gun at me earlier, but he missed and instead began to beat me up.”“Were there any actions or
Helen’s POVI returned to the private ward to find Blake, his doctor, and Dominic all exchanging pensive looks. There was a chill tension in the room, one that announced something was wrong. “Hello. Is something wrong?” I asked as I walked over to Blake’s side and placed a protective arm around him. He might not want me here, but I was hell-bent on caring for him. “Good day, Mrs. Robinson. I am just about to deliver some news to your husband.” She said,“What news?” I asked, wondering what was so serious to make everyone so tense and nervous. There was a sharp intake of air from her end and she opened the folder in her hand. “Mr. Robinson, your recent MRI results just came in. When you were first brought here, you sustained a lot of injuries to your body. You have been healing well, but unfortunately, there is an injury in your spine that would impair your ability to walk again.” She dropped. There was a thick tense silence in the room as everyone tried to process her words. “W
Blake’s POV“Easy, easy. Take it easy.” Helen said as she wheeled me into my penthouse apartment. I still had mixed feelings about returning here, but I had no choice. This was still my home, whether I liked it or not. I couldn’t live in the hospital forever. There was a business to run and my prolonged stay at the hospital was already making me feel terrible. However, the thought of living at Helen’s mercy now that I was back home left a bitter taste in my mouth. I couldn't make use of my legs and I was certain she would want to repay me for all the evil I had done to her before my attack.“Welcome home!” My housekeeper and maids all announced in high spirits when I was wheeled to the sitting room. There were fancy balloons with the inscription ‘Welcome Home’ on them. The entire sitting room was tastefully designed, but it didn’t intrigue me. If anything, it annoyed me and made me feel even more powerless. “Um, thank you so much everyone. I am sure Blake is super excited about t
Blake's POV We were neck-deep in our kissing when my office door swung open. Thinking it was one of my employees, I didn't bother to raise my head or acknowledge their presence. Everyone knew not to disturb me in my office and while I was having fun with my wife."What the hell is going on here, Blake?" My dad's voice boomed in the office, causing me to jump away from Helen.I raised my head to see him standing a few meters away from us with a deadly glare in his eyes. "Good... Good..." Helen stammered to my dad as she hid behind me.I felt the shame oozing from her and felt responsible for it. If I had listened to her advice for us not to make love in my office, none of this would have been happening. "Just shut up and don't say any more words, please." Dad eyed her callously, as though she was a piece of dirt."Good morning, Dad. Why are you here?" I asked my dad as I placed a protective arm around my wife.Helen raised her head to glance at me, but I kept my gaze on my dad. I w
Blake's POV "And what makes you think I can not just go out and debunk all of your lies?" I asked her, hoping to get more out of her. "Come on baby. Even if you go out to debunk my lies, no one will believe you. The best way you can protect your back is to do everything I ask you to." She hissed and sat upright from my table, clearly tired from all our talking. I could see that she was more interested in having sexual fun than in talking about this. Well, I had all the details I needed, so there was nothing to worry myself about. "Unfortunately for you, Isabella, I can prove to the world just how much of a terrible snake you are, and you helped me to achieve this," I smirked at her."What are you talking about?" She raised a brow at me with a playful smile dancing at the corners of her lips."Well, because you forgot that there is something called a sound recorder and most phones have it." I brought out my phone from my pocket and waved it at her. Her face went ashen on seeing t
Blake's POV I sat at my office desk drumming my fingers nervously on my desk. Helen's push played relentlessly in my head, almost driving me crazy. How the hell had I allowed things to go south between us? Was it really just Isabella, or did she have something against me, something she didn't want to talk about? I was still lost in thoughts when my office door swung open. "I am not in the mood for your apology. Kindly just give me some space." I hissed without raising my head to look at the door. "Who made you angry baby?" A different voice from Helen's answered me, and my eyes snapped up to see Isabella sashaying her way over to me. "What are you doing here?" I asked in surprise. "Can't I come over and see my baby? Moreover, why are you in such a foul mood? I recall you being super excited before leaving the house. Is it that foolish sister of mine? I would have her dealt with this instant." She hissed and tried to storm out of my office, but I caught her hand just in time an
Helen's POV I arrived at the office and immediately let out a tired sigh and I dropped my bag on the table.Despite all my pet talk to myself so I wouldn't get mad and angry, I was still vibrating from the exchange with Isabella. Her negative energy was affecting me badly and I just didn't know what to do. If things continue this way, I might be forced to leave Blake's home without his permission. He had a lot of houses and I was sure he would have no problem with letting me stay at any of his free houses."Hello, honey. I am so sorry I had to run. Your sister was grating at my nerves." Blake dropped a wet kiss on my cheek, and I flinched away from his touch. "What's wrong?" He asked, noticing the foul look on my face. "It's nothing," I mumbled and brought out my laptop.Work was the only thing I could think about right now. It was the only way I could keep my mind away from all the negative thoughts my sister had put in my head. "Nope, this can not be nothing. You are hurt by so
Helen's POV "What is making you look all surprised?" Isabella asked as she resumed eating. I stared at my sister and my hand tightened around the edge of the table. How could one person be a truck of destruction? She held so much negativity in her that it affected everyone around her. "Nothing." I hissed and dished out some bacon and eggs from the large bowl."And who said you can eat on this table?" She hissed at me. I stared at her in shock, wondering where else she was expecting me to eat. Blake may have agreed to let her stay in this house, but it didn't mean that she had the right to treat us however she wanted to. "Isabella, this is a dining table, and I am well within my rights to eat my breakfast here. Now, this is a beautiful morning and I would not like for us to ruin it by getting into a fight.”“So please, allow me to eat in peace." I said to her and immediately dug into my food. Unfortunately, I never got to take a bite of it as Isabella pushed my plate away from th
Helen's POV I lay beside him with a satisfied smile on my face. It had been many blissful rounds of lovemaking, and I felt whole and sated. Things may not have gone the way I had wanted, but his lovemaking had brightened my night. "Would we have to keep on doing this whenever we need to make love?" I asked, trying to figure out how to navigate the new dynamics Isabella's presence had created. "I don't want us creeping around as though we are criminals. You are my legally wedded wife, and I can make love to you as much as I desire. But your sister is one hell of a crazy bitch." He hissed. "I am so sorry about her," I said."Hey, you don't have to be sorry. Your sister being silly and crazy is no fault of yours. I can just imagine how terrible my life would have been if I had married her. Gosh, it would be hell." He sighed dramatically.A small smile lined the corners of my lips. I wasn't the only one who was frustrated by my sister's presence and it made me feel a bit better to see
Helen's POV I walked into my bedroom and as soon as I dropped whatever belongings I had left, my phone beeped. It was a message from Blake and I wondered why he was texting me when he was in the house. If he had something to say to me, he could easily come into my room and say it.However, the moment I read his message, my legs immediately became weak as juices pooled at my core. He knew how to put me in the mood, even through a text message, and there was no way I was saying no to his request.Gently, I put my stuff away and locked my bedroom door as I got out of it. With Isabella here, none of our personal effects were safe and I didn't want her snooping around what she had no business looking through.I walked out of the house and just as he had said, a vehicle was waiting for me at the parking lot. I got in and his driver drove me over to a hotel. I arrived at the room and true to his words, he was waiting for me there. "Hello, handsome." I greeted as I walked in. He was shir
Blake's POV I led Isabella to the spare bedroom upstairs. That bedroom had barely been used ever since I began living in this apartment, and I doubted the housekeeper had it prepared already. Well, I couldn't care less. Isabella was a thorn in my flesh and an avenue to stress her would be highly appreciated. "And here is your room." I opened the door and ushered her in. Much to my surprise, the room was clean enough with a laid bed. That was more than I could ask of my housekeeper. Well, Felicia was always ready for anything. I needed to give her some accolades for that. "Thank you, Mr. Robinson." She smiled brightly at me and dragged me along with her into the room.I rolled my eyes at her antics. If she was trying to seduce me, it wasn't going to work at all. "Isabella, I have to leave now. If you need anything, you can ring my housekeeper. She would make your stay here as comfortable as it can get." My tone was leveled. "But I want you to keep me comfortable around here. Don'
Helen's POV I stared at my sister in shock at her evil request. There was no way in hell she was really asking to sleep in the same room as my husband. That was not possible and I wouldn't be letting that happen. "Isabella, I may have given in to your whims, but that doesn't give you the right to come in here and try to tell me what would happen in my home. You would do exactly what I say and nothing else. Is that clear?" Blake hissed at her with a thick angry voice. I watched the veins draw out tightly at my husband's temple and wanted to tell him to calm down. Well, he had made this proposition, so we might as well pay the price for getting into her trap. "Oh please, Blake. You can not tell me what to do? I am way beyond that. You either allow us to share a bedroom together, or our deal is over." She hissed into his face, refusing to back down. The thought of the both of them sharing a bed tore at my heart. Even though I had watched him make love several times to Skylar, it sti
