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 POVMy body froze in shock as I watched her undress before me. There was a sexy wicked glint in her eyes that promised to give me the time of my life. Her brazen boldness was all too new to me and she didn’t look like the Helen I had known for the past month. Everything about her was different, exotic even and it made me want her in a way I didn’t know was possible.I would have lunged forward and grabbed her, but my legs refused to respond and I was left salivating with anticipation and hunger on the bed. My cock was as hard as a rock and I couldn't wait to bury it deep within her.“Are you ready for me, baby?” She whispered as she crawled on the bed, nearing closer to me.“Yes, I am. I am ready. Ever ready.” I mumbled, unable to get a hold of my feelings.This didn’t feel so much like reality; it all had to be because of how seductive she was.“Are you sure baby?” Her face was directly in front of mine and she grabbed my cock in a form grip, causing a gasp to escape from m
Blake’s POVI woke up the next morning to find her sleeping peacefully by my side. Her body was all relaxed as though my bed was all hers and her place was by my side. Well, technically, since she was my wife, her place was by my side, but there was no way in hell I was letting her get all cozy with me.With a hard slap of my wrist on her skin, I jerked her away.“It’s time to wake up. You can not do all you have to do if you keep on sleeping.” I hissed as her eyes blinked awake, adjusting to the bright morning light.She let out a deep yawn and I had to admit that she was really tired. For the past few weeks, she had been by my side at the hospital, nursing me. Now that we were back home, she continued with the duty and I was certain as hell it was tasking and draining.“Good morning, Blake.” She yawned a greeting to me and got up from the bed.“There is nothing good about the morning, Helen. Just go to the kitchen and fix my breakfast. I can’t starve because of your laziness.” I h
Blake’s POV“Breakfast is ready,” Helen announced as she walked into the bedroom rolling a tray cart.The aroma of scrambled eggs hit my nose, causing me to salivate. Was I always hungry around her or was there something so enticing about the meals she cooked?Her face immediately lit up as soon as she saw Dominic and a wave of jealousy hit me. She was never this excited to see me. Why the hell did she now have to light up on seeing my best friend? Dominic has been my best friend for years and I was certain he was never going to betray me and sleep with a woman I was officially with, but Helen was still a stranger to me and I could not vouch for her.“Dominic! You are here.” She squealed and grabbed him in a tight hug, her smile growing even wider with each second they hugged.“Yes, I am.” He murmured and rubbed his hand on her back.I watched them clutch tightly to each other for a few seconds and when I could no longer hold it in anymore, I cleared my throat loudly, sending my mess
Helen’s POV“Thank you so much. I am going to take that from you and Blake and I will discuss when we want to take this trip. Thank you so much.” I thanked Dominic as I took the tickets off his hand.This was the best wedding gift I was getting. Well, the only wedding gift I had gotten since I got into this contract with Blake.“You are welcome,” Dominic answered and glanced at his wristwatch. “Shot. I have to get going now. There is a meeting scheduled for this morning with the investors.” “Everything has been haywire since your accident man. Go on this vacation and come back stronger.” He bade us goodbye and left.“Do you see this? It is such a lovely location. How soon can we get there?” I gushed at Blake as I showed him the tickets.With a quick flex of his hand, he grabbed the tickets from my hands. “We are not going.”“What do you mean by that? Dominic gave that to us as a gift. You have to honor your friend's words, right?” There was no way he would want to waste his best frie
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
