IT WAS two o’clock in the morning when Zoe regained consciousness. She was surprised when she saw who was holding her hand. Seeing his face brought back the pain she felt last night. She pulled off her hand from Helios’s grip.

Helios then sat straight when he felt her move.

“You’re awake,” he said in a hoarse voice.

“No… you’re just dreaming,” she replied sarcastically.

“Look, baby... that kid is not my son. Amanda is just using the young boy to ruin us,” he explained.

She averted her eyes. She doesn’t like the emotion she sees in Helios’s eyes.

Helios grabbed her left hand, but she just hid her hand at her back.

“I want to be alone. If… if you don’t mind,” she said in a low voice.

“I won’t leave you, not until you hear me out,” he pleaded.

“What else do I need to know?” she looked at him. “Does the truth I heard wasn’t enough?”

She wants to cry. She fucking wants to cry. But it seemed like her eyes were tired of letting go of the tears.

“That’s why I’m sitting here, beside you. If yo

    ZOE LOVES the game, pretending. But right now, she can’t guarantee herself if she wants to act like she and Amanda were okay. Because literally, they’re not.It irritates her how Amanda moves, talks, and even smiles—it seems mendacious. Fake. If only she didn’t give respect, she might have knocked her cousin down and kicked Amanda’s ass out of the house.Amanda must be thankful that she’s trying to control her temper. Zoe may loathe her cousin, but not the little angel beside her. Amanda’s son had nothing to do with her mother’s mess.The kid is innocent. His mother is not.“So, where did you stay when you were cast out of here?” Zoe emphasized the words’ cast out.’Amanda then looked up and put down the spoon she was holding, and she smiled at her.‘Bitch.’“I was in Paris.”Zoe was fed up with her daughter first before turning to her sister. “So, you were enlightened not to end the life of your innocent child, am I right?”“Zoe!” Iris and Millie uttered in unison.She shrugged her s

    THINGS HAPPEN unexpectedly, and there’s no doubt about that. But all we could do to blend in is to accept the fact that we can’t bring back what was already happened. All we have to do is move on because that’s how life goes. The world is round, so in your life, we may sometimes in the top, and we may sometimes be below. We may experience all-day happiness, and we may share all-day sorrows. We must always look on the bright side. That’s all we can do to help ourselves to move on. Accept. Move on. Life circulates. Then it will produce peace and harmony.Life is more challenging when we struggle. And Zoe realized all things within when Helios told her to trust him.Since the day that day, the guy has always come along. He always visits them after his work.

Yes, Helios smiles a lot in front of her dau

    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.

    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.

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.

Let’s get you out,” he said. “Don’t let them escape. Take all of them out of this building!”They were about to leave when Amanda screamed. Her sister’s attention was on Beige. Helios turned to them.“Sir, the bomb in him is activated,” one of the assassins said.“I told you. I’m not a fool, Helios!” shouted Bill, who the two men were holding.Her eyes widened as she trembled because of fear. The timer is only one minute and twenty seconds.

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. And his heart pounded fast when he saw his daughter lying on a wooden table, sleeping as Bea patted her.“Do you like what you see, Helios?” asked Bill.Helios turned to Bill. “No. Let’s end this. Let them go, and you can have me. I’m the only one you need, right?” he said and gritted his teeth.Bill

    “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.

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.

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.
