Helen’s POV "The camelia-scented candles are my bestsellers," Jasmine, a friend and the owner of the candle shop that I was currently in boasted. "They sell out immediately I restock them. They are simply wonderful.""Yeah," I acquiesced. "My son loves it. On nights when he's too tired but doesn't want to sleep, I just light one of the candles and he falls asleep almost instantly. They are really good."Earlier today, Fernando told me that his secretary at the headquarters resigned some days ago, and without thinking, I told him that I wanted to replace her.He had just darted me a look before shaking his head, clearly not taking me serious before heading back to his office.I had decided that I would tell him that I was being serious when I got home later."That reminds me, it's been a while since I last saw Lucy. Has she left the country?" Jasmine asked, as she wrapped my order, which consisted of two camelia and five dahlia scented candlesticks.I stiffened at her question, but th
Helen’s POV "And we're home," Fernando mused, as we climbed down from his private jet.We were finally back home to America, my land of birth and tribulations.I just darted him a smile before properly covering Ethan's head with the hood of his sweater.He had slept throughout the whole flight and was currently still asleep.Yesterday, Ethan had made me promise him that I would wake him up when we landed, but as I watched him slumber peacefully, I knew I couldn't.I would make it up to him by taking him on a tour of America in the future."Welcome home, boss and ma'am," Two suit clad men bowed to Fernando before one of them grabbed our luggage and made for the car."Thank you, Arnold," He answered. "Give me the key to the Maserati.""Yes, boss," He handed Fernando the said key while darting me stealthily curious glances.I had never seen those men before.Fernando had probably employed them after I left."I think Ethan's starting to wake up," Fernando beamed, gently bouncing Ethan wh
Helen’s POV "Miss Helen?" Lilian, the head maid of Fernando's household called as she stepped into the living room.My annoyed expression instantly transformed into that of elation tinged with surprise."Oh my goodness, Lilian! How have you been?" I gasped as I wrapped the elder woman in a hug."It's been so long, ma'am and I've been doing well," Lilian uttered, when I finally released her. "You look even prettier now, ma'am.""Oh, please. Don't flatter me." I muttered, and motioned toward Ethan whose face was shyly buried in Fernando's chest. "That's Ethan, my son."Her eyes widened into orbits as she stared at him. "You were pregnant back then.""Yeah, but I didn't find out until after I left the country. You know what, it's a really long story and we still have more than enough time to catch up, so I'll tell you then." I uttered, to which she nodded in understanding."Alright, ma'am. I'm really happy to see you again. You're welcome back home and Ethan's a really cute child.""Tha
Fernando’s POV "This place is nicer than I thought it'd be,"Helen mused, as we entered my office together.Smiling, I muttered. "Really?""Yeah," She said, placing her bag on the desk. "You know what, just kiss me."Although I was quite taken aback by the sudden change in direction of our conversation, I didn't want a second further to fulfill her wish."You're too fucking hot, doll," I muttered, placing her against the glass walls of my office while she hooked her legs around my waist.A throaty whimper escaped her as I unzipped her dress and slid my hands down her smooth, naked back before cupping her fat ass cheeks.Gosh, I could already feel precum leaking my pants.I couldn't believe how turned on I had become within a short while.Helen really made me discover new things about myself everyday.For example, I had discovered that I had a pregnancy kink while we were fucking in the shower.I had mistakenly rambled about how I wanted to pump her full with ny cum while her belly was
Fernando’s POV "Has mother come to visit you yet?" Roman asked, as he poured some vodka into a glass cup and handed it to me."What do you think?" I hummed, taking a small sip of the alcoholic drink.Roma and I were lounging outside on the porch, basking in each other's presence and trying to catch up on what we had both missed on in each other's lives after five years.Two days had passed since his impromptu arrival. And although he had his own place, he prefered to hang out at mine.He had also taken a liking to Ethan and never wanted to leave his side at times. Helen and Ethan were currently out, running an errand at the mall."So she really came huh?" He scoffed. "What did she say?""What do you think?" I reiterated, which made Roman poke my sides."Not funny," He huffed. "Be serious.""The same old tantrum, what else? When she saw Helen and Ethan, she went livid and almost began a long rant but I cut her short and warned her against insulting them," I said. "She still thinks th
Fernando’s POV The moment Bethany uttered those words, I instinctively glanced at Helen whose stare was rooted into space.Her hands were also tremoring badly and the sorry sight of her made something worse than guilt curl around my throat."Go and sit down, my dear," Mother said do Bethany who was gently caressing her stomach with a shit eating grin on her face. "You shouldn't be stressing yourself in this condition."Bethany nodded, darted me a flirty smile and turned to do as mother said, and the guilt churning within me transformed into vitriolic anger tinged with venomous hatred."Get the hell back here!" I spat, and she froze as the grin on her face disappeared. "Who the fuck do you think you are to barge into my house and act like a queen?""Stop yelling at her, Fernando," Mother glared at me, as Bethany came to stand beside her again. "She's carrying your child and my first grandchild for heaven's sake. Do you w-"Her statement riled me up and I shook my head fervently while
Helen’s POV "By the way, Anita called. She said something about wanting to talk things out," Roman uttered, as I along with Lilian and some maids set the table."Baby, come and sit down, they can take care of the rest," Fernando muttered for the umpteenth time, and I darted him a glare before veering my attention to Roman."Oh, really? That's great news, Roman! So what are you going to do now?" I asked, truthfully happy for him.Although he always tried to hide his heartbreak, it was extremely obvious, into a stranger, that he was merely faking it.The Roman and I knew from five years ago didn't dissociate at every opportunity he got.He was bubbly, funny, and chatty.Now, he mostly sat in one spot whenever he came over to our house and stared into space as if searching for something that was only visible to him.Thankfully, he was always in high spirits whenever he played with Ethan."I don't know," He said. "I mean I've waited for the past four months for a news like this and now t
Helen’s POV Today was finally d-day.As in the day that the real truth would come to light.The day I would know if Ethan was getting a step sibling.And I was more than anxious.Hell, I was on the verge of a great panic attack as I sat in front of my dresser mirror, my hands clammy with sweat and tremoring with trepidation.Fernando was currently in the bathroom while Ethan had gone to school.Roman had traveled back to Italy to work things out with his beloved, two days ago, which meant that I had no one to rant to.Despite the fact that Fernando had reassured me on multiple occasions that everything would turn out well, I just couldn't help the sinking feeling of uncertainty that had built a home in my heart.I hated the feeling so much.I hated feeling so lost and scared like a sick puppy.Fernando didn't say it but the way he stared at me with so much sadness in his eyes nowadays, made me feel so pathetic.But I guess I just couldn't help my feelings."Petal, are you coming with
