“MAN! What’s wrong with you? Why did you kill them? Are you insane?”

The man smiled. “They deserved it. It was just a simple task, but they failed to do it. And that woman, I gave her a chance before to get closer to Helios, what did she do? She gave up! A coward! The same goes with that asshole! Useless creatures. And that Amanda, she’s really pissing me off!”

“What’s really your plan? And what did Helios do to you… that you’re acting this way?”

    THE NEXT day, her mom and aunt flew to California without telling her goodbye. They were already gone when she woke up. She hit her head. They had thought of everything. She was also not surprised to see Helios swimming in their pool.Helios said, "Good morning."“You’re early. You don’t have work?” she inquired. She doesn't want to see Helios naked as much as she can, but her eyes and body won't let her.She grabbed the towel from the top of the lounge chair and held it out to Helios. “Get up there. Let's have some breakfast."He shouldn't show his body just yet. She turned her head. She narrowed her eyes when she saw their two maids, who she thinks is about her age, peeking and laughing. When they saw her, the two of them left.Helios grinned. It seems like Trinity doesn't want other people to see his body.“Don’t worry, my body is only yours,” he joked. Even though it's true, all of him was for Zoe only."Shut up! Get up there!” Zoe said, then sped off.When Helios saw what Zoe did

But they always believe that those things have an end.“Why did you say that we’ll eat at your restaurant? What’s your plan?” Zoe asked.Helios turned to her and grinned. “It’s bait. I’m sure your sister already tips the information to her boss.”“What? What if they will blow up your restaurant? You still have your employees there. How about the innocent people eating there?” shocked, flustered Zoe's face. Yes, she understands Helios’s plan, but what if innocent people will get hurt because of it?"V Reseau was closed since yesterday," Helios answered, and she was expecting that."You really have plans.

Despite all the challenges they've been through, Helios shows her how he truly feels. She can't question his feelings for her anymore. If he asks her for marriage, she won’t hesitate to say yes.She smiled when the man successfully laid their daughter on her new bed. They’re in Helios’s room, which happens to be the master’s bedroom. There’s a room built for their child, but she’s still breastfeeding Hela, so she can’t let her child alone inside the room.Helios turned to her and went closer.“You may take a shower if you want to,” he said.She let out a soft chuckle. “How about you?”Helios smirked. “Is that an invite?”Her eyes widened when she realized what he meant. “Crazy,” she uttered and stood up. “Do I have dresses here? Undies… brassiere?”Helios pointed to the walk-in closet next to the bathroom.“Thanks,

How are you, my brother?” asked Bill as the muzzle of the gun still aimed at Helios.On the other hand, Helios remained calm that even if he wanted to blow Bill’s head off, he couldn’t because his loved ones were inside.“I’m not your brother,” he replied emphatically.The man laughed. He put down his gun, and his men pointed theirs at Helios.Zoe wiggles and tries to speak even though Helios can’t understand them. Helios glanced at her, and pity registered in the young man’s eyes.
