**Helena's POV**

Weeks has passed, my life was still in shambles thanks to that bitch. Every day, I maintained my facade, hoping for some excitement. The encounter with Ray Manchester had left me restless. My mind couldn’t shake the image of his handsome face and enticing voice. I had to make him mine.

Every morning, I would dress meticulously, hoping today would be the day I crossed paths with Ray again. I attended every business event, every social gathering, and frequented his favorite haunts. Yet, he was nowhere to be found.

Whenever I see someone I'm interested in the past, I always get them, I always get my man, and it won't be a different this time around. Even if he's cold and distant, maybe the most heartless man in New York i need to make him mine it's going to be my man because he is already my man it just matters of time.

I needed to make a plan. Perhaps I could convince Daddy to organize a charity ball where all the investors would show up. This way, I could see Ray ag

    I left my room for my mummy's room. I needed her help with this. "Mommy, can I come in?" I asked after one knock. "Of course, baby, do come in." I went straight to her, knowing that coming into her room at this time of day meant daddy would stay longer in his study, as he usually did every night. "Do you need mummy's help with anything?" she asked. The best approach in this matter was for me to be calm. That way, I could get her to do anything I wanted. She loves me a lot and gives me whatever I desire—she's my mummy, after all. "Mummy, your Helena is hopelessly in love," I began, using the most innocent voice I could muster. "Really, baby? My baby is in love. Wow, who is the lucky guy?" I couldn't help but blush when mummy said it like that. "W e e e l l l........ I met him in Daddy's office." "I hope he’s not working there," she interrupted with a displeased look. I'm sure she was assuming I was talking about some lowlife with no money. "Of course not, mummy. He

    "I can't believe I forgot that. What if she's already pregnant? But on a second thought, it's not possible. It's not possible to get pregnant within one night. And if we did, wouldn't that be a great idea? It would be the best way to make mine forever. There were so many weird thoughts in my head, I'm definitely a gone man. My way of thinking has changed when it comes to her; I always lose my rational thinking. I know it's not possible to get pregnant within one night, but my brain and heart seem to be fighting with each other. I always think with my brain in the past, making decisions with one's heart is something weak and irrational people do.construe emotions as a motion, making decisions.Am I one of them now?I need to stop this nonsense; it's getting out of hand. I am weak when it comes to herI love her, And when it comes to love, you aren't better off being rational about it. I may want her to be pregnant, but it should be what she wants as well.

I’m certain now that our married life will be filled with bliss if she agrees though. After brushing we went straight to the shower together, I took the body wash and wash her myself which she didn’t disagree with. She enjoyed being served. h m mm that’s interesting Maybe her love language is act of service which she herself may not know yet, perhaps I could identify every emotions for her instead.

    "Do you need help with your revenge plan” I don’t need to know what's on her mind but If she wants me to take care of someone, I'll gladly do it. But I won't act without her instruction. “If I need help, I'll ask for it.” Well I will have to wait until she asks “By the way, don't forget the birth control on your way to work. Or better yet, let me get it for you.”I went out of the walk-in closet to the bedroom. I sent a text to Drake to get me a birth control pill as well as my outfit for the day. Few minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I walked towards it to open it, and the maid handed me what I needed. 'Thank you,' I said.“You're welcome, young master,' she he replied. 'Is young mistress ready? Would you and young mistress prefer to have your breakfast here or come down for it?”I could sense her fear as she spoke. I'm used to people fearing me, even when they're just speaking to me. Growing up, I got accustomed to people feeling intense fear around me."Is your cloth h

    Helena paced her room, fuming. It had been days since she had access to her card and her dad kept trying to push to ball due to lack of funds and there was still no resolution. Every attempt to access the funds had been blocked, leaving her charity ball plans in jeopardy. She knew who was behind this, and the thought made her blood boil.The answer came later that evening. As she was sitting in the living room, her father entered, his face etched with frustration.“Helena, it’s worse than we thought,” he said, sinking into a chair. “Liliana has tightened her grip on the company’s finances. She’s the one blocking our access to the funds.”Helena’s jaw clenched. “I knew it. That bitch is doing this on purpose. But why now? Why block the funds when we need them the most?”“She’s trying to weaken us,” her father replied. “With no access to funds, we can’t host the ball or make any significant moves. She wants us to look vulnerable, unstable.”But how did she even know about the whole ball

    “Helena, love…” James called out. “Yes, Daddy?” she answered, lifting her head from what she was doing. "Have you sent all the invitations out to the investors?" he asked. Helena looked up, a bit confused, not sure what to say. “Well, Daddy, I sent two to three different invitations to Manchester,” she replied. James frowned slightly. "We want all the big names in New York City at the party. Ray Manchester has never shown up at an event like this before. He may be important, but he never shows up. You should know these things. Make sure every other investor is invited. This is about us making a comeback, about getting the funding back. And besides, I don't know where you got the funds from…" Helena’s heart raced as she scrambled for a convincing response. She couldn’t afford to let her father know about the arrangement with Mr. Blackwood. Thinking quickly, she put on her best reassuring smile and changed the whole funds topic. “Daddy, I understand how important this is,”

    Ray gazed intently at the invitation card in his hand. He had been invited to a charity event, which was unexpected. Typically, he usually receives invitations to business gatherings, not charity functions. In the past, he wouldn’t have considered attending such events, but this was different now. His baby girl was part of the family hosting the charity, and he had recently discovered they were unaware of his underground dealings with them.Ray sensed there was still more to uncover, and he couldn’t wait to learn more. Viktor had done his part; now it was time to instruct Derek, his assistant and hacker, to dig deeper. Something must have happened right before Lilly was born to make a father hate his own daughter.Just then, he heard his baby girl’s voice behind him. “What are you looking at so intensely?” she asked.

    Before either man could respond, there was a knock at the door. A moment later, the butler stepped in with a polite bow.“Sir, Miss Ana has arrived. She requests an audience with you.”Grandpa Manchester smirked, already anticipating the tension this would stir. “Let her in.”Mitchell turned to him sharply, eyes blazing. “Father, can you stop using Ana to bother your grandson already? He has enough on his plate without you constantly dangling her in front of him like some sort of temptation.”Grandpa Manchester merely raised an eyebrow, clearly unfazed by her outburst.Mitchell pressed on. “Making him look like a cheat to his wife isn’t going to help anyone. The world already believes he’s divorcing Liliana for Ana. Do you have any idea what that could do to her, especially now?”Andrew crossed his arms, nodding in agreement. “She’s right, Father. If you keep pushing Ana into this, you’re only adding fuel to the fire. Liliana is already dealing with the revelation of her true identity

    Mitchell stared at her father in disbelief. “Wait… you know Evelyn Altee?”Grandpa Manchester let out a low chuckle, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest of his chair. “Know her? Oh, Mitchell, everyone in my circle knows Evelyn Altee—though most wish they didn’t.”Andrew, who had been silently processing everything, finally spoke up. “What do you mean by that?”Grandpa Manchester leaned forward, his expression darkening. “Evelyn Altee isn’t just some ordinary woman. She was once one of the most cunning and unpredictable players in high society. Some saw her as a tragic figure, others as a ruthless manipulator. But one thing was certain—wherever she went, chaos followed. And I can one forget the woman who made one of the Russo men break away from his family all in the name of love “Mitchell scoffed, crossing her arms. “Well, that explains a lot.

    Helena turned to her mother, stunned. Even she’s taking his side?Matilda’s expression was unreadable as she nodded. “Stay off the media. Don’t make things worse.”A hot, bitter rage bubbled inside Helena’s chest.Are they not satisfied with what they’ve done to me these past few weeks?She clenched her fists. “Do you guys even care about me?” Her voice cracked with raw emotion. “Neither of you picked up my calls. You just handed me over to the Russo family, locked me away like I was some prisoner!”James’ eyes darkened, his patience wearing dangerously thin.Matilda’s lips curled in irritation. “Helena—”“And now you want to do it again?!” Helena shrieked, her face twisted in frustration. “You want to control me like some puppet? Just say you hate me and be done with it!”Tears burned in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.She knew it.Ellen had been right.They didn’t care.They never had.“You’re both horrible!” she spat, her voice cracking as she cursed them both under her

    James’ patience was hanging by a thread.“Woman, have you lost your senses?!” His voice echoed through the room, laced with sharp disbelief. “Or are you seeing things that aren’t there? Who the hell is this Master you keep calling me?”James looked at her like some lunatic, what up with her?Matilda’s breath hitched. The moment the words left his mouth, it felt like ice water had been thrown on her.James took a step forward, staring at her as if she were a stranger. “I don’t remember promising you any of those things. What are you even talking about?” His fingers curled into a fist at his side. “Matilda, I swear, if you’ve gone crazy, now is not the time for it.” What does she has do be a bitch when not needed.For a moment, Matilda only stared at him, disoriented. The pounding in her head grew worse. The name had slipped out so easily, so naturally—had she really lost herself that much?James exhaled sharply, rubbing his temples. “What happened to my wife? The woman who loved me? Wh

    “They would have what?” Ellen cut in smoothly, arching a brow. “Fought for you? Demanded your freedom?” She tilted her head. “Then why haven’t they?”Helena’s throat felt dry.Ellen sighed again, shaking her head. “Sweetheart, you need to understand… They’re done. They don’t know what to do with you anymore. You’re a problem they can’t solve, a burden they’d rather not carry.”Helena’s nails dug into her palms.No.That’s not true.But hadn’t she already asked herself the same questions? Hadn’t she felt that quiet, suffocating doubt creeping in every time another day passed without a visit?Ellen watched her, eyes glinting with satisfaction as the walls of Helena’s resolve began to crack.“You know I’m telling the truth, don’t you?” she murmured, reaching out to trail a finger along Helena’s jaw. “They left you to me, Helena. Because I’m the only one who truly knows what’s best for you.”Helena clenched her teeth, shaking her head. “That’s not—”Ellen gripped her chin firmly, forcing

    Helena stretched her arms above her head, a lazy smile tugging at her lips. The realization that she was finally going home filled her with relief, but there was something else—something unsettling. A weight in her chest that she couldn’t quite place. Over the past week, she had rediscovered herself in ways she never thought possible. Ellen had opened doors she never dared to approach before, and now… could she really just walk away?The thought of returning to her old life—where she was ignored, treated like a fragile inconvenience—made her stomach churn. Here, in this confined space, she had felt something new. Something exhilarating. Something dangerous. And if to be sincere she has never noticed that her parent treated her in such manner, this is all thanks to Ellen opening her eye and making her see the reality of things.I shouldn’t feel this way, she told herself. Ellen kept me locked up. She took my choices away.And yet… hadn’t she also given her something no one else ever h

    The search was relentless.Every street. Every alley. Every backroad and hidden passageway in the city.Nothing.It was as if Lilly had disappeared into thin air.Ray stood at the edge of an empty intersection, his hands clenched into fists. His chest rose and fell in heavy, ragged breaths.Five hours.Five agonizing, tormenting hours.No leads. No clues. No sign of her.Ray pressed his fingers against his temple, trying to stop the pounding headache threatening to split his skull.His mind raced with worst-case scenarios.What if she was hurt?What if she crashed?What if someone else found her before they did?His heart clenched painfully. No. No, she’s strong. She’s smart. She wouldn’t let anything happen to herself or the baby.But then again…Lilly was in control.And Lilly was reckless.Goddamn it, Lilly. Where the hell are you?Just as Ray was on the verge of losing his mind, his phone rang.Jerry.Ray snatched it up so fast, he nearly dropped it.“Tell me you found something,”

    Ray’s heart dropped the moment he saw her.Lilly stood beside the car, her back to him, her hands clenched at her sides. The trunk was still open. And inside—An unknown stranger that he couldn’t recognize but he wasn’t seeing his face properly.Ray felt his breath hitch.What the hell am I looking at?“LILLY!”His voice cut through the eerie silence of the empty road, but the second Lilly—or rather, Lia—heard him, her body stiffened.Then—she bolted.Straight for the driver’s seat.Ray’s eyes widened in pure disbelief.“LILLY, STOP!”He ran.His feet pounded against the pavement, the rush of adrenaline surging through him like wildfire. Too fast. Too reckless.He barely made it to the car before the door slammed shut.She was leaving.Ray banged on the window, his voice desperate. “Lilly, don’t do this! Open the door!”But she didn’t.Her hands trembled on the wheel. Her breathing was uneven.And then—she floored it.The tires screeched as the car lurched forward.Ray barely jumped ba

    David had felt fear before. He had studied it, manipulated it, made it his weapon. He had seen it in countless eyes—victims, test subjects, even his own colleagues when they realized what he was truly capable of.But this?This was different.A moment ago, she had been trembling. The fear had been thick, suffocating. It had been delicious.But now—Now, the woman standing before him was nothing like the fragile thing he had expected.Her eyes burned with something primal. Something wrong.The bloodlust radiated off her in waves, curling around her like a living entity. Her lips were curled, not in fear, not in pain, but in something far, far worse.Rage.David had always considered himself the puppeteer. He pulled the strings. He dictated emotions, controlled his creations.But the thing before him?She was not under his control.And she knew it.Lia’s lips parted, her voice a whisper—low, sultry, dripping with a wicked amusement that sent a shiver down his spine.“Come on.”David’s b
