Blake's POV The moment my phone pinged with a debit alert from Helen's first purchase, my mouth hung open. No, it wasn't because of the price of goods she had bought, nor was it because she was really spending my money. What shocked me was how she had figured out the pin to the card. I had gotten that card earlier on to give to her so she could use it for her running around. However, I had held onto it, hoping to teach her a lesson with it. Using her day and month of birth as her pin had been a good idea since I was getting the card for her. However, I was really surprised she had figured it out on her own. Maybe she wasn't as stupid as I always believed. More debit alerts had come in after that and I could tell she was having a swell time shopping. The last one, though, had come in just as I was getting into our suite. Funnily enough, the money she was spending from my card was nothing compared to what my celebrity girlfriends usually spend on themselves in one outing. I could
Helen's POV I felt so naked with him staring at me. My eyes were fixed on the floor, doing their best not to get in contact with his. I knew him well enough to know that the worst way to get all heady with the need for him was to look into his eyes. "What's that dress over there?" He asked and my head snapped up to see him pointing at the pile of clothes I had on the bed. "What dress?" I asked, wondering which of the dresses he was interested in. "The one with the pinky stones. It's glittering. Looks interesting." He said. I immediately recognized the dress he was talking about. It was the first dress I had bought at the store, the dress that had revealed my birthday was his ATM card's pin. I was still lost on how that was possible. Was it a coincidence, or had he deliberately set my birthday as his pin? Why would he even do something like that? I knew he was unpredictable, but at the same time, I least expected it from him. It was so unreal, especially with the attitude of hat
Helen's POV The next morning, I was all smiles as we moved to the poolside. Blake was in a really good mood and he had been nice to me ever since we woke up.All I could hope for was that he kept on being this nice to me. It was blissful and kept me at ease. This was the most at ease I have been in a very long while and I loved it. "Someone is looking good this morning," Valentina said as soon as she saw us. She was dressed in a bikini and a light kimono over it. She had an exotic body, and I had to confess that if I were a man, I would be drooling over her. "Good morning, Valentina. Thank you so much for last night. I feel so much more confident in my clothes." I waved at a nice beachwear she had insisted I got last night. "Oh, it's the least I could do for a sweetheart like you." She brushed my words aside and shared pleasantries with Blake. Whatever bad blood between the both of them was completely gone now. Blake could be a little nasty when he was mad at someone and I was
Blake's POV I watched her pack our bags and my blood chilled. It was happening. It was really happening. The last two weeks we spent here were the absolute best. I hated to admit it, but as soon as I had fallen into her seductive charm, I had something to look forward to daily here. It has been so freeing to relax around a woman. And now that it was time to leave, I suddenly regretted that decision. She had grown on me and knowing women, that was such a terrible thing to happen."Alright. And we are all packed." She announced excitedly as she zipped up the last of our bags. I stared at her happy face and nodded unenthusiastically."Come on, what's wrong Blake?" She asked and wrapped her hands around me. She dropped a wet kiss on my face and it took everything in me not to flinch. God, I must have let her cross a lot of boundaries that she felt it was right to kiss me as she wanted. "Are you sad we are leaving? You don't have to worry. We can always come back here. It would be fu
Blake's POVI let out a breath as soon as our plane touched down at the private airport where I kept my plane. With each mile, we put between us and the resort island, the more distant the beautiful memories we had at the resort faded from my memory. I was finally going back to my normal version and I needed to keep myself sane. Whatever happened at the resort had to remain at the resort, and I hope you keep things that way. "Have we landed?" Helen asked as soon as our plane touched the ground. "Yes, we have landed," I answered her. "Okay." She got up and came behind me to wheel me out. She paused for a long while and echoes of my words to her before we got on the plane danced in my head. I didn't need her to help me out of the plane and I wondered if she was going to keep up with the energy. Finally, after a while, she took. A deep breath and began wheeling me out herself. I couldn't just believe it. She was helping me out even though I told her I didn't need her help? Was she
Helen's POV I almost jumped out of my chair when I heard her say Blake would be able to walk once again. This was the best return present one could get and I was so excited."Now, don't get too excited. You have to get an MRI scan to determine if you are in a fit position to go in for the surgery. If you are cleared for surgery, we will operate and if things go well, you should be up on your feet in no time." She said to Blake."Well, then, what are we waiting for? Let's do this." I said excitedly.Blake shot me a gaze, but I didn't care. I would be the happiest person in the world to see him on his feet. There was nothing I would want more than to have him on his feet again. That way, I won't have to wait on him all day and his grumpiness would reduce.Blake was prepped and led to the scanning room. His dad and I waited while he got scanned. I watched the doctors and the radiographers say something to each other. There was a bit of heated tension in their conversation, and I wonder
Helen's POV I walked into Blake's hospital room with small ginger steps. I couldn't explain why, but I was suddenly so nervous all of a sudden. Could it be because I have been so used to him lying weakly on the bed?"You have got this, Helen," I whispered to myself as I finally stepped into the room to see him lying on his bed with his eyes closed shut. "Blake?" His dad called out immediately after he entered the room, waking my husband up. Blake's eyes blinked wide open and he was staring at us with a small smile on his lips. "Hey, Dad." He greeted me lightly. "I am so glad you are awake. How are you doing right now?" His father ran a hand down his face. "I don't feel much. It seems like my bones are sore, but I am hopeful.""Everything is going to be okay." His dad replied."Hey, man. Helen called me over. I am super glad you are okay." Dominic said and gave him a nod. Blake exchanged a look with his dad and I could hear the silent anger in both men. I didn't intend to cause
Helen's POV I slumped on my bed as soon as I got back to his penthouse. It had been weeks since I laid on this bed, and I was so grateful to be back. Who would have thought that I would be back up at the hospital after returning from the trip with Blake? The doctor had confirmed that his surgery was indeed successful and with a good physical therapist, he should be walking perfectly fine in no time. I was glad that his life was finally gaining back its beauty and excellence, and I wished the same for myself.Valentina's words about me having a purpose danced in my head and I knew she was right. Very right! In no time, Blake would be on his feet again and he might have no beds for me ever again. He might be even more cruel to me and treat me in the worst way possible. I needed something to keep me sane through his abuse, and the only thing I could hold onto was a purpose, just as Valentina had proposed.Taking a deep breath, I walked over to my wardrobe and picked up the copy of the
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

Blake's POV I stared at the screen of my phone, not believing that he had ended the call on me.I was working way harder than he could ever imagine to ensure that his crimes were cleared, and he returned Helen to me. There was no way he could kill Helen. I still had some time, roughly about 5 hours. I dialed his number again, but unfortunately, it didn't go through. My heart was beating at a thousand beats per minute and this rate, I was certain it would burst and I would die.Travis might be a shrewd man, but at least, he ought to respect his words. The timeline he had given to me wasn't up yet, so what the hell was he up to? As many times as I tried to dial Travis, his number didn't go through and I knew I was fucked.He might be killing Helen at this point and I wished I had opened up to the chief of police earlier on. At least, with all the details I would be able to provide them, they could have figured out where he is at this point."You are such a foolish man." I hissed at m
Blake's POV "Mr. Robinson, you know this is impossible. There is no way I can help you to do what you are asking for." The chief of the police force said to me as he stared at me from his chair. We were separated by a very large table, but with the level of anger I was currently feeling, I was certain that I could overturn this table on him at any moment."Sir, I get that what I am asking for is quite difficult to achieve, but I believe you can make all of this go away. How much do you want me to get it done? I promise you I can pay whether it is what you are asking for." I said to the man in a fit of desperation. Words could not explain the level of desperation in me. I was desperate. Very desperate. What the hell was wrong with me? My dad would hate me for this, but if it was necessary, I did this to help Helen out of the grip of that bastard. I was the reason she was in this situation. I needed to make this sacrifice for her. The elderly man opposite me let out a breath, lean
Helen's POV "And there we have it. Your man has agreed to do my every bidding. I guess it isn't so hard to get to him after all." Travis beamed at me and ran his fingers down my body.My skin crawled, having him touch me like that, and I really wished that my hands were free enough for me to bite him or slap him away. He was a disgusting piece of shit and I hated everything about him."Why do you have your nose scrunched up like there is a smell in the air? Please, don't tell me that you don't appreciate me touching you?" He asked and wrapped his palm along my neck, making me feel so claustrophobic."Can you please just stop touching me?" I begged and faced away from him.I was having a hard time breathing and coupled with my disgust for him, I just felt as though I was going to cave in and faint."You should be glad that I am touching you. You know you are worthless and way beneath any billionaire's level. You should be filled with joy and gratitude that a man of my caliber deemed i
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 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
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
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
