Pierre’s Pound Of Flesh Maria's POV The next few weeks after the meeting with Helena, Ailene and Sebastian at his penhouse was like a rollercoaster. I was going from one court session to the other, interviews, meetings and even had to release a press conference. At the end, Pierre was convicted and given some time in prison. Sebastian ensured that he served the time alloted for his crime. That night, we decided to celebrate and Ailene invited me and Helena to her house, as well as Sebastian and Keith. We saw an almost empty apartment when we arrived. “Where are the guys?” Helena asked Ailene. “Keith said they were here already.” “They had to go get boxes of chocolate and other items.” Ailene replied then turned on the scented candles that were spread all over her living room. “Ohh, I love this setting.” Helena cooed as she stepped forward. A low table was placed in the living room with thick blankets spread around it. There were also cushions spread around the tab

Dinner Before The End Helena’s POV “Tell me again what Keith said.” Maria looked at me as if I was acting in French or some other language she did not understand. “He said we have to go for a special dinner. It's special so I have to make an effort.” “What does that even mean, Helena? You always make an effort. You always look good.” I shrugged and tried on another gown. “What about this? What do you think about this one?” She looked at me for a while then said. “Nahh, I liked the previous one better.” We continued that way until I finally picked out a gown, shoe and other necessary accessories. I had no idea what Keith was taking me to but he sounded different so I did what he wanted partially because of curiosity. Sometimes, I still felt like Keith was with me because he wanted something serious. For a while, I started feeling like addressing the real reason why I didn't indulge in serious relationships. I also knew that if I embarked on that journey, I would c

The Woman He Wanted To Forget Keith's POV I stood for a long time after Helena left staring into space. The idea seemed like a brilliant one when it came to me but now I feel so bad that I had disrespected her choice. At that moment, Sebastian's question about Helena came to my mind. So Keith, as I was saying, are you sure you want to do this thing with Helena? Do you really think she will change because of you?” From the first moment I laid eyes on Helena, I had liked her a lot and even went after her because she was the only woman who had made me forget. Frustrated at all that I was going through at that moment, I brought out my phone and dialed her phone. I finally reached out to the one person I wanted to forget. “Are you at home? Can I come over?” “Yeash, sure. Are you okay, Keith?” “We’ll talk when we see.” I said then turned on the ignition key of my car and drove towards my real heart’s desire. “Keith, what’s going on? Are you alright? I sensed when I ans

New Beginnings Or New Troubles? Maria's POV I stared at Helena as she quietly stared her cup of coffee. She had been quiet since she got back from dinner with Keith. No, she had ranted madly when she came back that I was scared she would wake up Nathan.After that day, she had been very quiet. I gave her some space because I knew that she wanted to process her thoughts and make her decisions but I felt like it was time to talk to her. “Are you alright, darling?” I asked her, grateful that it was very early in the morning so we didn’t have to prepare Nathan for school yet or ourselves for work even though I had a big opening to prepare for. “Yeah, just in my feelings.” “When was the last time you talked to Keith?” “That dinner night.” “Oh, wow! Has he tried to reach out?” “Yeah, but I don’t want to talk to him. What he did was crazy.” “That means you are not sad and quiet because of Keith.” I stated the obvious. “Uhnn hell no, I am not. I am just thinking about t

Hard Discussions Helena's POV I took confident steps towards Keith's office. My firm had an update meeting with his firm, and I was initially supposed to work with someone from his team but I got an email a few days ago indicating that I would be having the meeting with Keith instead. I smiled and shook my head as his secretary led me inside his office because I knew that he was behind the switch. It was his way of seeing me since I declined all of his invites. I didn't do that out of spite or anything, no, I just need some time to heal, and know me, not just me but my emotions as well. Keith turned from his wall to ceiling window and stared at me quietly with an unreadable expression in his eyes. “Keith.” I called out then cleared my throat. “Helly.” He breathed out after a while, as if he could not believe that I was standing in front of him. “Please sit.” He gestured as if just realizing that he had been keeping me standing. “Before we proceed, I'd like to know

Timeless Moments Maria's POV The door beeped and opened and then Helena came in with her signature scent rushing inside before her. “Lena, it's good you came home early. I am about to go crazy picking one of these for Sebastian.” I said while looking down. “How did your day go by the way?” She sighed and slumped down on the chair in front of me. “My day was good. I officially ended my relationship with Keith Bolt.” “Oh my!” I reached across the table and grabbed her hand. “How was it?” “To be honest, Maria. It felt freeing. I felt like I finally released him, and I told him to go be with who his heart really yearns for.” “You did that. You told him to go and be with Ailene?” “Yup. It's about that he did something and not hungrily stare after her like some starved kid.” I knew she was telling me something serious but then I bent forward and laughed. “I don't even know if to call you savage or strong.” “What do you have over there?” She said, nudging her head towards

Corporate Suspicions Maria's POV “Maria, my girl, I thought I was badass with men but your level of badass needs to be studied. The birthday series you did for Sebastian, man, you had a grown man excited and blushing like a high schooler.” Helena cooed on the call. We had to work after Sebastian’s party so none of us had really gotten the time to sit down and talk about it. Helena and I had some free time this morning so she called to talk about Sebastian’s reaction and mannerisms towards me during the party. “Oh my! Helena!” I replied and then laughed at her choice of words. “Yeahh, he couldn’t help himself during his birthday party—that he kissed you in front of those men and women. You are lucky that it was a private party and none of that kissing scene made it to the media. The buzz would have deafened us all.” “Tell me about it.” I agreed and laughed, thinking about Sebastian’s party. During and even after the party, he couldn’t take his hands off me, even though

Surprise Wedding Maria's PoV I couldn’t stop thinking about the conversation with Sebastian a few hours before I was discharged from the hospital. Nathan and I had stayed for five days and in all that time, Sebastian had attended to and taken care of us as if he was on some special mission to do so. Immediately after I opened my eye on the first night, he gave me water, called the doctor to examine me and when they were done, he got me food and other essentials and then apologized for how he had behaved in the past weeks. We had talked a lot after that time and I felt relieved to know that my ex-step mother had been arrested alongside Cassandra. I felt bad for Cassandra but she also knew that the consequenced of her actions would come. During one of the conversations, Sebastian informed me that he knew about my pregnancy and also that he was the father and that he wan

Final Crackdown Maria's PoV “Hey! Hey!” Cassandra shouted as the man moved closer to me. “You don’t get to harm her, so go back to your position.” Cassandra moved closer to me and started untying the ropes on my feet. “What are you doing?” The man asked Cassandra. “Dancing on a private jet, what the hell does it look like I am doing?” She replied him rudely as she continued to loosen the rope around my leg. When she was done loosening the rope around me, she stood up and said. “My mother wants me to bring her to the other room. We need to teach her a lesson before we move out.” “But your mother didn’t mention such. I didn’t receive any instruction as such.” The man responded with a deep frown on his face. I could see that he was trying to connect the communication device in his ear.&nbs

Family Reunion Maria’s PoV I woke up with a start, and all that I could hear for a while was my throbbing heartbeat. ‘What is going on? Where am I? How did I get here?’ I asked myself as I looked around the dimly lit room. A subtle movement caught my eye, and I turned to see Nathan lying on the floor beside me. At that moment, a flood of events that led us to this place rushed into my head. The thoughts made me gasp and look around in fear. ‘Oh my god! Have we been kidnapped again? Who brought us here?’ Pulling on strength that I didn’t have for some unknown reason, I moved slowly towards Nathan and shook him softly. “Nate, Nate, wake up baby. It’s momma.” “Momma?” He asked weakly and I saw that his eyes were barely open. “Oh god! What’s going on?” I asked

Shocking News Maria's PoV My body had been feeling funny for a while but I thought that it was probably stress. It was weeks after we came back from the conference in Paris and when I came back, I had more work to do because my company was in the scaling phase. Two days ago, Aiva invited Helena, Nathan and I to breakfast at Ailene's penthouse. It was a beautiful time but I became sick again when I got home. Helena suggested that I go to the hospital and see a doctor but I refused because I already suspected why I was feeling sick. After we left the house in the morning, I dropped Nathan off at school, visited the nearest pharmacy to pick up the equipment that would confirm or refute my suspicions. After that, I texted Helena to come straight to my office because I had something important to show her. I waited for Helena to come to my office before taking an

Girl Time Aiva's POV I smiled when I heard Maria's hearty laugh as she listened to Ailene's joke. Helena was at the other end fixing Nathan's buttons which had come off while he was playing around with the huge toy car that Sebastian had bought for him while he stayed here with Ailene and I. Upon my request, they had visited a few days after they returned from the conference that took place in Paris. “Here you go. Breakfast is ready, everyone.” I dropped the full jug of juice on the table that was already filled with a variety of food and wine. I also instructed the maid to take Nathan to the smaller table nearby and feed him because I was certain that me and the girls may have adult conversations. “Mom, I told you that Maria also saw the man with the huge jacket. He gave everyone a good laugh during the conference.” Ailene turned towards me with laug

HelVINI Helena's POV I couldn't get over the excitement and joy when Maria was given an award after her speaking session. When she got to her seat, she texted me to meet her in the bathroom and while there she cried until she was too tired to, then I reworked her makeup. By the time the conference was over, she was exhausted and wanted only her bed. Ailene bought her food and escorted her to the penthouse. “Helena Montoya, I look at you and Maria Bellucci and I can't help but see two very phenomenal women charting paths in their various fields.” Vini had nothing but praises for me and Maria when we settled down for dinner after the conference. “Thank you, Vini.” I gave the wickedly handsome man a bright smile. “Where's Maria?” Vincenzo asked, looking up from his phone for the first time since we sat at the table “Maria was a little tired after the conference so she called it a night early.” “And we all leave Paris tomorrow morning.” “Yeah. We leave first thing in

Flowery Moments Maria's POV My heart banged wildly as I rushed back to my penthouse after exiting Sebastian's room thinking that I would turn around and see him coming after me. “How could you do that, Maria? Come on, how could you do that?” I repeated to myself over again as I walked back. My body still trembled from Sebastian's touch and longed for it but my brain was seriously beating my body for betraying us. How could I just jump into bed with him after months where he ignored me and didn't even care one bit? How could I just jump into his bed after the naughty tantrum-like behaviour he displayed when I was with Vicenzo? I opened the door to the penthouse and when I entered, moved straight to the bathroom. “Are you alright, Maria?” I turned to see Helena on the sofa and she looked as if she had been waiting up for me. “What's the time?” “It's five AM.” I sighed resignedly and slumped down on the sofa in front of Helena, then bit my lip to prevent from cryi

Burning With Jealousy Sebastian's PoV The endless meetings concerning the annual business conference were taking their toll as usual. I was moving from one meeting to the other with the top guns so I hadn't even had time to ask if Maria had arrived or if she was settled in the penthouse. I wanted to give her the best experience while she was in Paris, so I instructed my other pilot to bring her down to Paris with my other private jet and I also instructed the host that when they arrived they should only be given the best. The meeting I just came out from lasted for hours. Don't get me wrong, it was meetings such as that one that placed me on a higher pedestal than businessmen of my age but it was long and I was tired physically. When we came out of the boardroom, my physical exhaustion changed to anger and burning jealousy when I saw Maria with some other guy. The guy was pleased to see me and I didn't mean to be rude but I was burning too much with jealousy to even thi

The Annual Corporate Conference Maria's POV The journey to Paris was more enjoyable than the last time because I was not treated as a first time speaker but a seasoned writer. Helena and I were taken to Paris with a private jet and when we arrived, we were lodged in one of the best penthouses in one of Sebastian's highrise buildings. When we entered the penthouse, Helena whistled and turned to me. “At this point Maria, I doubt that all of this is because you are a speaker. You were a speaker last year and we didn't get all of these.” I folded my arms and then raised my brow “Really? Why do you think we were given this type of treatment then?” “Isn’t it obvious? Sebastian of course. We came in his private jet and now we are in one of the best apartments in his highrise buildings.” I chuckled and shook my head. “You of all people know that Sebastian doesn't give a damn about me so yes, he may be the owner but it could have been that the panel decided that it had to be that
