Helen's POV

"Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm here to tender my resignation letter." I said, outstretching the envelope containing the said letter.

Fernando steered his gaze from my face to the letter, without collecting it, causing me to bristle with irritation.

"How's Ethan doing?" He suddenly asked, to which I scoffed.

"My son's life is none of your business, Fernando," I said. "I don't see why you're asking me that question like we're close friends when we're not." I spat, sidling past him to place the envelope on his desk.

"Helen, please let's sort this out. There's no use bearing grudges toward each other forever. Let's iron out this issue with maturity." His husky baritone came out in a rumble, as he grabbed my arm.

"Let go of me," I glared at him.

"Oh," He said, withdrawing his hand from my arm. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that."

Ignoring his apology, I folded my arms across my chest and chortled mirthlessly.

"You want us to resolve this issue with maturity, huh?" I scoffed

    Fernando's POVI watched the confusion on Helen's face morph into trepidation as she began shuddering, even though the heater was on.Had something happened to Ethan?I had heard her ask the person on the other end of the line that same question before panic engulfed her."Oh, God," She whispered, fear conspicuous in her voice. "I-I'll be there soon." She stammered, before ending the call."Is everything alright with Ethan?" I asked, and she darted me look that was set in between hesitation and fear.I knew then that my suspicions were right; something had happened to the boy."I-I need to go now," She uttered, and dashed out of my office. I trailed behind her, ignoring the way people stared at me."Stop following me. I can handle myself." She yelled, as we both walked past the doors of the company."You are clearly not in the right condition to drive. Please let me give you a ride." I offered, watching her unlock her car."I don't need your help," She snapped, as she got in. "Just l

    Helen's POV"Oh, babe," Lucy cried as she pulled me into a bear hug. "I'm so glad that you're finally here."I could only weep harder as I buried my head into the crook of her shoulder.My entire body convulsed with dread as millions of scary thoughts raced through my mind, with the most prominent one being the thought of losing my son.I couldn't even imagine what I would do with myself if that happened.Although I hadn't expected him, Ethan had given my life a whole new meaning.He was the only reason I existed and got out of bed everyday.I was too far up in my head envisioning horrendous images that I didn't even realize that I had started hyperventilating until Lucy's voice rang in my ears."You're having a panic attack," She said, gripping my arms. "You have to stay strong for Ethan, alright?""Y-Yeah, I know," I nodded, still trembling slightly.Lucy regarded me for some minutes, worry tinged with pity evident in her eyes before looping her arms around me again."Let's go in,"

    Helen's POV "The doctor will see you now," A smartly-dressed young nurse said and promptly took her leave before I could utter a word.My heart jubbered in my ribs in anxiety as I shakily stood up from the bench."You are worrying again," Lucy uttered, taking my hand into hers. "Everything will be fine, my friend. I'm sure of it."In response, I managed to dart her a lopsided smile as we walked down the hallway to the doctor's office.Two days had passed since Ethan was admitted in the hospital and diagnosed with aplastic anemia.And in those two days, I had only eaten and taken my bath once, and even the food had been a slice of bread and a bottle of soda, nothing more.In all honesty, Lucy had forced me to perform both tasks because she knew that if she hadn't, I would have remained glued to Ethan's bedside checking on him every second.I had also not gone to work in two days nor had I called in to take a sick leave.It was then I remembered that I had tendered my resignation lette

    Fernando's POV "What's up, Roman?" I asked. "How are you doing? How's everything over there?""I'm alright and everything's good. How are you?" He inquired. "Have you managed to sort things out with my sister in law yet?"Scrubbing my face with my hand, I replied. "I'm just here. And by the way, she's not your sister in law anymore, Roman. Did you forget everything that happened?"My brother scoffed. "Of course, I didn't. I have an inkling that she will become my sister in law again very soon."I suppressed the urge to smile and only shook my head, while inwardly hoping that happened soon.But I knew the probability of a snail winning a marathon was far higher than Helen ever marrying me again.Hell, three days had passed since she resigned and rushed out of my office.Although I really wanted to visit Ethan at the hospital to at least know if what was wrong with him was serious, I held back from doing so, because I didn't want to worsen the already sour relationship between Helen an

    Helen's POV The moment I saw Fernando, my eyes widened theatrically into the size of saucers.I opened my mouth to utter a word but nothing but air came out."Helen?" He uttered, shock tinging his voice.Fuck. I thought, as I fiddled with my fingers.Why the hell was the deity never on my side?Why did I have to encounter Fernando at the damn club?Now, he was definitely not going to back down until he found out what I truly needed money for.Earlier that day when I had gotten an email stating that I had gotten the female bartender job, I had been so elated and relieved that I wouldn't have to bump into Fernando and be asked baseless questions.I guess I had forgotten that nothing in my life never went the way I wanted it to.And based on the way he had spoken earlier that day, it seemed like he was beginning to have some suspicions about Ethan's paternity.Calmly, I wiped my hand on my apron and spread my lips in a smile."Good evening, sir. What would you like to order?" I asked ag

    Fernando's POV "Good day, boss," Paolo's voice boomed into my ear from the other end. "I've gotten the information."Last night, after the whole fiasco with Helen, I had called Paolo and asked him to find out about Ethan's sickness."Good," I said. "So what is wrong with him?""He has aplastic anemia and needs a bone marrow transplant immediately. Both Miss Crawford and her friend tested negative, so neither of them can donate their bone marrow to him." He divulged. "His condition keeps dwindling as the day goes by." Running my hands through my hair, I sighed as I thought about the kind of agony the poor boy was probably in.And yet, Helen wanted me to stand by and watch our son wither into nothing.God forbid something bad happened to Ethan while I was still alive and breathing.My mind was made up now.I would help Ethan whether Helen liked it or not.Right now, the most important thing was for our son to get well. After that, Helen and I would iron out our issues."Okay, thanks f

    Helen's POV "Thanks." I said, as Fernando held the car door open while I entered."It's my pleasure." He smiled, before shutting the door and going over to the driver's sideAfterward, he stepped on the gas and we got moving.Fernando and I were currently on our way to the hospital where he would get tested to see if he was a match for Ethan..I had no idea what to think of our relationship anymore because when he pulled me into a hug earlier and I felt the enticing warmth of his chest, I had almost moaned.Yeah, you heard right.I had almost fucking whimpered at a mere hug with the man who had tossed me away like refuse at the mere sight of his ex-girlfriend.His scent hadn't changed; he still smelled of white musk and sandalwood tinged with cinnamon.And although it was quite hard for me to admit it, I had truly missed it.I had missed burying my nose into the crook of his neck and whimpering sensual melodies while he thrusted deeply and slowly inside me.The lascivious thought sud

    Helen's POV "How many hours has it been since the surgery started?" I inquired from Lucy, my gaze fixated on the "surgery in progress," that was displayed above the door of the operation theatre in red digital letters.The day of the transplant had finally come and although I was anxious about the whole ordeal, something inside me told me that everything would end well."It's been two hours, forty five minutes, and thirty seconds." Lucy muttered."The doctor said the surgery will take three hours max, so they should be out soon." I mumbled to myself, while frantically nibbling on my bottom lip.Before the surgery began, Fernando had reassured me that he would take good care of Ethan like he wasn't also getting operated on.It was probably the sedatives that had been talking. I thought, my lips spreading in a small smile.Then, the "operation in progress" light went off and I stood up abruptly.Doctor Nicole walked out first, her mask lowered to her neck, and her hair disheveled.Imme

    Helen’s POV "Oh my days, Helen," Anita squealed as the makeup artist put a finishing touch to my glammed up face. "You look so beautiful. Fernando is so gonna be smitten when he sees you. I mean more smitten cause let's face it, the man is so obsessed with you."I suppressed a smile as I stared at myself in the mirror, with a satisfied nod. "Thanks babe. Ethan's with his grandmother, right?""Yeah," She responded. "Do you want me to go get him?"The makeup had some exactly what I had instructed her to do; not a loud makeup but one that was minimal yet would turn heads when people saw me.Especially Fernando.Gosh, Fernando.Just thinking about him made my pussy wetter than a puddle.After sneaking back to my room last night, I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried and eventually had to stealthily trek to the bathroom to finger myself to an orgasm which wasn't as gratifying as the one Fernando usually have me.But at least it had kept me sated coupled with the thought that I

  • Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex   Pre wedding lust

    Helen’s POV I sighed for the umpteenth time that night as I burrowed into the blanket.Tonight was the night before my big day. And by big day, I meant my wedding day.Earlier that night, my bridal shower had taken place and it had been a really fun affair.However, two days had passed since I last saw Fernando and boy was I desperate to get dicked down by him.Due to some superstitions that Agnes had about it being bad luck for a bride and groom to be to see each other before their wedding, I had been forced away from him ever since we got to Paris two days ago.As if being apart from him wasn't bad enough, our rooms were located on different floors.With his being on the third floor and mine being on the first floor.It also didn't help that Agnes was making Roman's wife, who I fortunately got along with quite well, sleep in my room to prevent me from caving into the temptation of seeing my fiancé."Quit sighing and start sleeping, Helen," Anita yawned, from the king-size bed that

    Helen’s POV"Thanks a lot for honoring my invitation," Fernando's mother uttered as the three of us stepped into opulent sitting room.Just like the one at our place, it looked luxurious yet minimalistic.The dark brown coupled with notes of a creamy pastel color complemented each other really well.A grand piano was at the right corner of the room, with a black and white picture of Fernando and Roman hung above itThe both of them looked really cute in the picture and couldn't be more than seven and ten years old respectively.Seeing the picture made me realize how our son had a striking resemblance to him, even though he still had most of my facial features.You could say Ethan was a perfect blend of Fernando and I.I wouldn't lie though, the whole atmosphere was so awkward as I shifted my weight from one feet to another."It's fine, ma'am," I managed to smile as Ethan tugged at my hand."Are you her friend now?" He whispered but in the quietness of the room, it was loud."Ethan, be

    Helen’s POV "Come here, baby," I muttered, whisking an angry Ethan away from sperm donor before he could lay his filthy hand on my son.It wasn't like I would stand by if that happened though, I was merely taking safety measures."I see you got a miniature bratty version of yourself, huh?" Janet spat, and that sparked a bomb in my head.I was done being calm and composed.I was done with both my sperm donor and his wife's entitled selves."Get out," I spat. "And you have just three seconds to do so, before I call security to fling you out, you shameless hags. You've never cared about my wellbeing once in your lives yet you have the fucking audacity to come here and try to make it seem like I'm the bad guy here, huh?""Mummy said a bad word," Ethan squeaked, but I ignored him.Now wasn't the time to play along to his call out."You heard her, right? Or are your ears just for decorating your head?" Fernando bellowed from beside me, as he intertwined our hands together."Even you Fernan

    Helen’s POV "I could live here forever," I said, twirling on my heels, so that my eyes roamed across the vast grape and berry trees."Well, I hope you're ready to get bitten by ants then,," Fernando scoffed, grabbing my hand and twirling me around again, which made me giggle happily.Ah, life was so nice.There was no Bethany or Agnes disturbing my peace.After the whole thing was revealed, Lilian told me that Bethany had secretly moved to Malaysia via a cargo ship as she was so broke that she couldn't even afford an ordinary ship ticket.I guess karma really had a way of getting wrongdoers.Five months had passed since I moved back home and apart from the whole Bethany incident, everything had been moving smoothly.Roman and his woman had finally managed to work things out. According to Roman, they had even gotten married, some months ago in a low-key ceremony that was attended by just their friends.I had been quite saddened by the fact that I couldn't attend but seeing the loved u
