AFTER DINNER, Zoe and her daughter went to her room, and Helios followed them. She then told the man to watch over her daughter as she took a shower. The man agreed, and he played with her daughter while waiting for her.“Da-da,” said the little girl, and Helios smiled.“Can you say it one more time, sweetie?” asked Helios tenderly.The little girl giggled and tried to reach Helios’s face. Helios then moves closer to her daughter. “Da-da!”Helios laughed. He took the child out of her crib and lifted it. He kissed the child on the cheek, and the child imitated what he did, which made him even happier.The scene was melting Zoe’s heart. She had just come out of the bathroom and was wearing her nightgown.“You seem to have fun?” she said.Helios turned around and faced her. At the same time, her daughter is leaning on the man’s shoulder.“I think her first word is da-da,” he said.Zoe smiled. “Yes, and it’s kind of frustrating. I was the one who carried her for nine months… took care of
DUE to the death threat that Helios has been receiving, he convinced Zoe and her family to leave California and get back to Manhattan. At first, Zoe didn’t like the idea because her aunt’s café was in Cali, but considering the danger, she then agreed, and they couldn’t believe that Helios put them in a private subdivision, and they got the chance to live in a mansion.A red Ferrari stopped in front of the mansion. The men in black ran to the front gate. They pulled out their guns and aimed at the vehicle.Zoe, who is currently in the control room of the mansion, is also worried. She walks back and forth as she looks at the monitors. She’s worrying that the person inside the expensive red car might be a suicide bomber or what. Coincidentally, Helios isn’t there yet. Helios said that he needed to attend an important meeting in Brooklyn.Her eyes widened when she recognized the person who got out of the car. “Open the gate. Do not shoot,” she said with her authoritative voice. The men ou
“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 man looked at him sharply. He stood up and recklessly cocked the gun and aimed it in front. “Why are you asking so many questions? Huh?” the man shouted.The guy raises his two hands. “Chill, I’m on your side.”The man who was holding the gun laughed and touched the head of the gun to his face. He kissed it.‘Crazy,’ the man thought as he saw how he kissed the tip of his gun.“Get out of here. I might lose my temper and kill you,” the man said, and he followed.“I’ll repeat. I’m on your side. Whatever your problem with Helios—Whatever you
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
HELIOS’S bodyguard opened the passenger seat; Zoe then entered. Helios handed over her daughter and turned to the driver's seat. They look like a happy and complete family; the difference is that they still have many unsolved puzzles and problems. 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. Care to share it?" she asked.Helios started the car engine and turned the steering wheel to the right. "I don't want you to be involved—yes
ZOE WATCHES how Helios puts their daughter to sleep. All the emotions she had seen in the man's eyes were genuine. She knew that Helios really loved her and their daughter. 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,
GRANT’S car seemed to be on fire because of its speed on the way to his twin brother's condo.“Dude, slow down. You might bring us to an accident,” complained Ali.Grant did not answer and quickly turned the vehicle into the location of his brother’s condo.“That fucktard was getting on my nerves. Shitty traitor!” he exclaimed with annoyance.When he parked his car, he quickly went inside the building. Ali ran to catch up.“Don’t be in a hurry. You might regret what you can do.”“That asshole deserves to die,” he said.“Helios order, just teach him a lesson and find out what is his reason and their plans—"“My eyesight is getting dark, and I can’t promise that I will leave that man unscratched.”Ali shook his head in disbelief. Grant stepped outside it when the elevator opened and walked towards his twin brother’s unit, followed by Ali.Grant almost broke the doorbell of the unit due to his violent pressing. His right hand pulled the gun from behind and hooked it up.“Dude, find out
IT WAS six in the afternoon when her friend Cindy called, saying they would visit their goddaughter. However, Hela didn’t get baptized yet. She plans to, but she wants things to be fixed first before her daughter is baptized.According to her friend, Cindy, she will bring her new friend. The news gives her excitement. She was happy that Cindy had started to grow her circle. Whoever Cindy’s friend will be her friend too.Well, she understands why Cindy seldom visits them. She is so damn busy with her new environment. She then let their maids prepare food for them. Cindy told her that she wanted Adobo and Creamy macaroni. Zoe knew why. Cindy and her cooking skills… suck. Cindy is not into cooking or cleaning. She has never been a wife figure—which she always teased her. Well, that friend of hers seems not to have the plan to marry. Cindy was so immersive at her work right now. And she doesn’t know if Cindy was having some hot steamy night with other men… or to Calyx? She did it a
