Zoe’s POV

I was surprised when I saw Helios in our small living room soon as I got down.

“I thought you would send your driver? I didn’t know that you’re the driver now,” I said, more of a tease, and put my sling bag on.

Helios stood up and walked towards me, arching his brow. “You’re just seeing me as your driver?” he asked. His voice is deep and chilly.

I gulped and glanced at my mom to seek help, but she just crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Seriously?

“Nope. I see you as an angel who shines attractively,” I said, waiting for his reaction. Still, he’s stern.

Hmm… what will soften his cold heart at this moment?

Maybe…

I walked closer to him abruptly, tip-toed, and crashed my lips into his.

Bingo!

I saw his shocked expression and my mother’s little snickers when I moved away.

I glanced at her and winked. “Gotta go, mom. I will call you later,” I said and dragged the hypnotized Helios.

Soon as I opened the door, I saw his broad and veiny hand twisting the doorknob.

    Zoe’s POV“So, you pretended to be my wife?” This was Helios’s first question soon as he got back to the waiting area. As per the doctor’s advice, the Don needs to wait for another hour before they will transfer him to his private room, and here is Helios, sitting beside me, teasing me.I frowned and looked at him. “I left with no choice. I want to see your father too. And you just left me there,” I said and glared at him, making him smirk.“You see, being my wife has the perks—”“Stop with it. I will only hold it for this day. It’s fake, okay? Fake.”“Why don’t we just make it real.”I arched my brow as I met his gaze. “We already talked about this, Hel. Am I going to repeat it again?”Helios took a deep breath and sighed as he shook his head. “No. I’m just trying—”“Court me first—”“For real—”“That’s what we talked for. Convinced me more. It’s not that I am playing hard to get but makes me feel not just to like you but to love you instead, Helios.”Helios smiled. “I could feel th

    Zoe’s POVI waited for Helios to come out and busied myself with scrolling his phone. I have never used one of these for the time being, so I need to get familiar with its features, and it’s not that hard to memorize or use it.Minutes passed, and he was not still coming out. I heard a growl in my stomach. Then suddenly I remembered that he had ordered food. Guess I need to wait for the delivery. While waiting for more minutes, I saw a person carrying a red square box, and he was heading in my direction. However, two guards stopped him and instructed him that he couldn’t go any further.I stood up and walked towards them and smiled at the guard who turned to see me. “Excuse me, is this the food for Helios Lincoln?” I asked the guy, and he nodded.“I’ll get it,” I stated.He then put down the big red box and grabbed the bag of food tubs inside. The guard on my left reached for it, making me arch my brow.“Hand it over to me—”“I’ll help you out, Mrs. Lincoln,” he said, making my eyes

The Lincolns are really rich. However, I really wonder why they need to hire too many bodyguards. Don Lincoln is not the President of the estate, so why?He killed the former President—ugh, here I am again, judging. I don’t know the whole truth nor the other side of the story, so I can’t pinpoint who’s who. But rumors had it, Don Lincoln killed the President.The old man is still treating me coldly even if I told him that I was just joking the other day. Helios introduced me as his secretary at the same time, the woman he was coaxing. And will be his future wife.Wife?That sounds perfect every time he’s saying it.

    Zoe’s POVHelios struggled to open the door because of my height and without him breaking the kiss. I don’t want to cut this intense feeling that is growing between us, so I just let him do what he pleased at the moment. And when we got inside, he walked us towards his desk and let me sit.His roamed around my shoulder down, on its way to my back, until it reached the side of my bum.A moan slipped out of my mouth when his lips moved down to my neck. I closed my eyes and held onto his shoulder as his kisses moved down. He was about to pull the tucked-in of my blouse when we both heard a knock on the door.I gasped in horror and pushed him away, making him glare at me.What? I mouthed and pointed to the door.“Fuck,” I heard him curse before he fixed his hair so as his suit. I saw the frustration on his face making me smile and bit my lower lip. Wrong timing.Whoever that person is, I’m sure, he or will receive Helios’s wrath.Sorry, not sorry then. An incident like this can’t be av

And also see mom, who’s ready for work. But until now, she’s still not leaving. I wonder why.I climbed downstairs and frowned when I saw her holding my phone. “This keeps on ringing, and it shows Helios. However, I didn’t dare to answer it. I don’t want you to get upset because you look UPSET,” she said and gave stressed the word: upset.I pressed my lips and reached for my phone. Mothers really know best.“What happened again, Zoe?” she asked. Guess she smelled misunderstanding again. I shook my head and smiled. “Nothing, mom. Don’t worry about me. It’s just that I am not really comfortable staying at his house,” I replied; much to say, I lied.“Zoe,” my mom walked towards me as she grabbed her bag from the coffee table, “you’re still young and confused.

And Chloe has nothing to do between us.”“Your father is against my closeness to you—he may not tell it directly, but I can feel it.”Typical elite parents who dislike lowly people. “He can’t control my life. I can make my own decision. So, please, I don’t want you to overthink—”“I am getting your father’s approval too.”“Then you’re saying you don’t want to marry me?”I pressed my lips and shook my head. “I like you—”“Then let’s get married….” I was about to open my mouth when he continued, “—privately.”My eyes widened, and it seemed like my ears were bombarded with a booming sound that made me deaf. My thoughts took me away from him, and I couldn’t think straight. Why does he need to rush things?

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.

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
