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
IT WAS ten o’clock in the evening when Helios got home. Zoe’s friend is still in the house, and both decided to do a sleepover. Hela Selene was already asleep upstairs. She’s with their maid named Bea.Helios went home not alone. He’s with this guy named Ali, together with Grant and Calyx. She smiled when she saw the reaction of her friend, Cindy. Cindy spits the water she’s drinking when she sees Calyx.They were busy watching when the men arrived. Cindy is at the edge where she back faces the main door—she didn’t expect the arrival of Calyx.Helios approached her and kissed her on the forehead. “Where’s Hela?” he asked.She was about to answer when Cindy and Sam started to tease her. They’ve repeatedly been saying the words, ‘long table’. At the same time, Helios's companions began to whistle.She shook her head and smiled. Then she looked at Helios again. “She’s already asleep. What took you so long?”Helios sat down beside her, and he put his arm around her. He leaned the back of
THE NEXT day, Helios and his friends leave early. Cindy and Sam decided then that they would stay for a while.“You didn’t come down last night, huh, Zoe? What did you do inside the room?” asked Cindy, carrying her daughter. After bathing her daughter and dressing her, Cindy immediately took the little girl.“Yeah. You left us with those jerks downstairs,” Sam complained while busy tying her shoelaces.Zoe was delighted that Sam could get along and erased the awkwardness.Zoe just shook her head and returned things to her daughter’s bag. “We just talked,” she replied.“Really? Just talking… no touching?” asked Cindy.She rolled her eyes and shook her head.“Ah, that’s why there are hickeys on the top of your left chest and neck?” asked Sam and grinned.“Oh. My. Gosh! Is that hickeys?” uttered Cindy and laughed along with Sam.At that time, she wants to be swallowed by the ground. When she finished, she acted as if she was not affected by the teasing from her friends.“We will be going
HELIOS went out early to visit Grant’s twin brother, but those guards outside Gunner’s room were already dead when they arrived. They didn’t see any gunshots because all his men were drugged to death, and Gunner was missing.“Damn that, Bill!” Grant murmured as he punched the wall.Ali approached him and touched his left shoulder. “Calm down, Grant. Don’t let your rage eat you.”“How the shits I can calm down? He took Gun—he took my brother!”Helios then let Ali calm his cousin. He massages his temple. Bill is getting on his nerves.“He already found out that we knew his plan and Gunner’s betrayal! And I’m sure he’ll kill Gun! That psychopath will think that Gunner talked about his plans to us. Fuck!”"We need to go back," said Helios."Where to?" asked Calyx.“At home,” Helios replied and twitched the doorknob, and went out of the room. He pulled out his cell phone and called someone to remove the corpses inside the room before the police could see them.When he hung up, his phone ra
“I’m begging, Bill. Please, let us go. And please, let me hold my daughter,” Zoe pleaded.Her heart was almost broken because of the constant crying of her daughter, who Bea was holding. They give her milk in the bottle, but her daughter is still dependent on her—she’s breastfeeding the child.How cruel will they be?“B-Bea, please, let me hold my daughter! Let me go!” Her voice was cracked, trying to hold back her tears. “Let me go… let me go,” she said, almost whispering.Bill just laughed while he could see her suffering. What a demon!“That’s right. Feel my wrath, Zoe—Helios’s kryptonite that can serve to be the source of his death,” he said and devilishly laughed along with her daughter’s loud cries.“L-Let me hold my daughter…” she said weakly. She felt dory for her daughter, who won’t stop crying.She doesn’t know where they are. They were immediately blindfolded when they saw the driver on their way to Batangas. When those demons removed their blindfolds, they saw tall trees.
