"Why would you treat a lady like that! That attitude is disgusting and I hate it. She is my friend and colleague, I invited her for coffee and you Interrupted and humiliated her in front of everyone? How could you?" Jay questioned Clara. Clara flared up "wow! You should be ashamed for lying. Coffee and you were holding her like that? I saw how she threw herself at you and you fell for it" she snapped back at Jay. Jay looked at Clara surprised. He tried to talk to her but she wasn't buying any of his words. "If you keep acting this way Clara, I would be disgusted. What the hell are you blabbing?. It is obvious you hate a thing against Helma. Sort it out and don't try to accuse her of nothing. For heaven's sake, you just humiliated that lady. Don't you feel bad?" Jay asked Clara fustrated. He walked out of the cafe and Clara chased after him. "What about our date Jay" Clara asked softened. Jay looked at her coldly " there is no date! You ruined my day and embarrassed m
Clara stopped at the door and turned around "here your phone" she said extending the phone to Helma. Immediately,she dropped the phone deliberately "oops it broke" she said with an evil smile and walked away. Helma picked up her broken phone and locked her door. She laid on her bed motionless. She had no words or no tears anymore. She laid down and allowed her tears flow down her cheeks. She never imagine it would be so difficult to cope with Clara. Helma tried to sleep, she tossed around her bed for hours. She went downstairs to fix herself some warm milk to help her sleep. Helma stood in the kitchen turning the warm milk from the sauce pan to a glass when she noticed a huge shadow. Helma frightened, turned around to see the shadow. It was Donald. She sighed in relief. "Somebody is having trouble sleeping" Donald's deep voice echoed in the kitchen. "Make that glass two" he commanded heading to the dinning table.Helma placed the two glasses of milk on a platter and walked to the d
Being hitted on the head, Helma woke up in shock. She saw Donald standing away from her. She immediately rushed back to searching. She finally checked the last roll on the shelf and found a file. She brought the last file to Donald. Donald looked at her and returned back to his work. She stood in front of Donald tired and lazy. She tried to talk when he called her. "Helma, I will take your broken phone as an excuse. You were supposed to contact the janitors today miss" he looked at her disappointed. "Must I remind you of everything miss?" Donald snapped angry.Helma's looks changed at the reminder. She over slept and forgot about the janitors. "I am sorry sir, I over slept" Helma apologized. Donald chuckled holding a pencil. "look her miss, I don't plan to pay an over sleeping staff" he said. Helma looked around confused. She didn't know what to do, either to call the janitors now or fix a booking for tomorrow. She thought about her phone, she needed to get it fixed before she could m
"Pisssss" the pressure cooker whispered in the kitchen. Helma chopped vegetables for dinner. She checked on the lamb on the pressure cooker and returned to the vegetables. Forty minutes later, Helma was done with dinner. She made lamb stew and pasta. She smiled fulfilled at the nose blinding aroma from her meal. She served her plate and walked to the dinning. She sat down to eat after a long day when Clara walked down the stairs all dressed. She wore a red bodycon dress and a black stiletto heels. She walked down the stairs majestically with her purse and heavy makeup. Helma stared and returned to her meal. She bad just one bite when Clara started walking towards the dinning. "Don't I look pretty?" Clara asked sarcastically smiling. Helma looked at her and nodded and returned to her food trying to avoid further troubles from Clara.Clara leaned on the dinning table "oh. Thank you so much. You know Jay will never settle for some cheap bitch. You should take that as a warning" she said
Jay and Clara cuddled in the sofa muching popcorn and watching a movie. They giggled at the funny scence happening on tv. Jay kissed Clara's cheeks and she blushed. "Jay, are you officially my boyfriend now?" She asked pouting. The question struck Jay. He has never been a responsible boyfriend all his life. He only took his jobs seriously and not romance. He liked Clara but he didn't know what to tell her."I don't want to hurt you baby. I don't think I can ...." He said but Clara kissed him before he could finish his words. Jay held Clara's waist and kissed her passionately. "Yes. We are dating" Clara decleared happily kneeling halfway on him. Jay prayed silently that he doesn't loose his job soon. He smiled faintly and thought of what Donald would do to him if something happens to Clara. He shaked his head to get rid of those absurd thoughts that filled his mind.Beep beep beep. Clara's phone rang. She looked at the caller and it was Donald. She exchanged glances with Jay and whispe
Donald stared at Jay sternly and it caused Jay to sweat in his palms. "I have seen you before and it was not at the office it was at a cafe, giving flowers to my personal assistant and secretary" Donald said and Jay's facial expression changed from being tensed to confused. "are you dating my sister and Helma? " Donald asked. Jay nodded "no" several times before his lips moved."I am seeing just Clara sir. Helma.... Your assistant and I are just colleagues. The flowers were just to make her smile. She was stressed that's all sir" Jay defended sincerely. Clara came in with pineapple juice and Oreo cookie for Jay. Donald smiled at Clara. "You should go freshen up mama. Jay and I were just having a good conversation" Donald said smiling brightly. "Awwwwn. Getting along already" Clara said messing Jay's hair. She went upstairs leaving them alone. "Back to our conversation young man, you better be honest with your words. And try not to get my sister pregnant" Donald said standing up. "He
Helma smiled warmly at Mary and continued her chore. At breakfast, Donald had few bites as usual and left for work. Helma ran after him in her plain sky blue paints and white sleeve. Peter drove Donald and Helma to work unlike the previous week when they went to work in different cars. Helma held her abdomen and squeezed her hands from cramps. Donald would stare at her and look away when she tries to look back.At the office, Helma took Donald his coffee and returned to her desk. She sent out mails to clients who had meetings with Donald on Thursday and Friday rescheduling the meeting for the other week. Her clock beep and she took some files along with her to the board room. Donald fixed a meeting with all the staff at the headquarters. She got to the board room to meet Jane and other female employees sitted. Most of the starred at her with envy and spite.Five minutes later, the staffs were all sitted in the board room waiting for Donald to begin the meeting. Donald cleared his thro
Days passed so fast that Helma almost lost track of time. After dinner on Wednesday evening, Mary and Clara returned to the sitting room to watch their novella series. Donald muched on the grape fruits in front of him and stopped Helma who was heading upstairs. "Sleep on time tonight, we have an early morning flight tomorrow" he said returning to his plates. Helma nodded and walked upstairs. She has almost forgotten about the trip. She entered her room and started packing her bags. She put in her underwears, lounge wears and two nigtees. Her pjamas were still in the laundry basket. She put in her cooperate wears and heels. She added other necessary items and went to bed early. She woke up at 6am and started preparations for her trip with Donald. She brushed her teeth and switched on the heater.Stepping out from the shower she met Donald suited sitting in her room. She was surprised to see him. Donlad looked at Helma from her hair to her toes. He admired the beauty in front of him
Epilogue One week later, Donald could stand on his own without support. He could walk around with clutches as his aid. Donald was discharged from the hospital after cross examinations and x-rays performed on his dislocated joints and Bones. Helma and Clara helped him to the car and drove home. Donald got home and inhaled. "Damn! I miss this place. I got sick inhaling bleach and disinfectant" he said causing everyone to laugh. Donald had lunch with Clara, Mary, Helma, uncle Billy and Andrea. It was a fun day for Donald, his uncle had teased and pranked the hell out of him. After the long day, Donald and Helma saw the couple to their car. Uncle Billy and Andrea were staying at their penthouse some kilometers away. "Get those feets walking soon boy, this old man needs a vacation from work" uncle Billy winked before driving off. Helma tried to take Donald inside, but he insisted she walked with him around the garden. Helma helped him sit at the bench in the garden, before sitting besid
Helma was downstairs with Mary making dinner when her phone rang, it was Donald. "Hey..." Donald said softly. Helma blushed and responded hi. "Where have you been?, It's 6pm already and I can't see you anywhere" Donald nagged like a child. Helma chulked and promised him she was bringing him Dinner soon. Donald hissed and pleaded with her to hurry "can I get fruit parfait for dessert?. Come quick, this weird nurse is creeping me out" Donald whispered.Helma hunged up and started making parfait for Donald. "somebody is finally getting her nails messed up" Mary teased. Helma and Clara had ordered a private pedicure section while the interior decorators were working. After getting her nails done, Helma had refused to ruin it by making dinner with Mary. She offered to keep her company instead. Helma laughed at Mary's words and continued chopping. "You love him Helma" Mary said out of the blue. Helma dropped the knife surprised at Mary's direct words. Mary nodded her head and resounded it
The Doctor followed Helma and examined Donald before leaving. Helma stood beside Donald holding her tears. She was excited and moody at the same time. The doctor came with another doctor who was a middle aged man. "Good morning Mr Donald, I am Dr Simon and we will walking through your recovery process together" he introduced with a smile. He examined Donald and hit his pencil hard on Donald's bandaged leg. Donald hissed in pain in response. The doctor nodded and removed his glasses, he turned to Helma and asked if she was family. Donald nodded and held her hands. "Ok then, you had a minor fracture at your left shoulder and a dislocated leg bone. You will be fine in no time I promise" Dr Simon announced smiling. Donald nodded and requested for water. The doctor nodded and walked out."You didn't sleep mama. You are having dark circles" Donald said trying to sit up but he hissed in pain. Helma immediately helped him to seat up. She adjusted the hospital bed with the control which helpe
Clara went with the nurse , who took a blood sample from Clara and ran a test. Clara returned to the waiting room and tried to calm down Helma. Helma had sweats all over her body and her eyes swollen already. The nurse got back and inhaled "miss, your blood group does not match with his. We need to get another donor" she stated. Helma cleaned her eyes and responsed quickly "me. I can donate mine. I am a universal donor" she said rushing to the nurse.The nurse nodded and asked Helma to follow her. She ran the same test on Helma and it was a match. Helma sat down on a bed and the nurse connected the necessary equipments for the transfusion. An hour later, she was adviced to rest for a while. Clara walked into the room Helma was and sat on the chair beside her. " Are you alright? " Clara asked softly. Helma nodded weakly. Clara kept quiet and looked at Jay who gave her a nod to go ahead. " I am sorry for everything Helma. I am sorry for putting you in danger and for bullying you" Clara
"Huh". Helma turned back at Donald who was frozen at that spot. Donald asked again and Helma nodded. Donald asked the sales rep to get it out and he added it to the cart. Helma smiled cutely at Donald and kissed his cheek. Donald took Helma to the heels section and Helma's moth dropped. "This is the designer section Donald" she said. Donald signaled for the sales rep and asked him to get Helma's shoe size.Donald watched Helma gush over the everything that was introduced to her as smiled satisfied. "Donald" Helma called his attention. "This will go well with the cream dress Clara got last week" Helma asked admiring the heels. She asked for a size 9 of the same shoe and added it to the cart. Donald quietly go to the purse section and picked any purse he liked. He added it to the cart and continued shopping. They got to the pay desk and Helma's mouth fell open at the amount on the screen."Princess, relax daddy's here" Donald chuckled. Donald handed his card over to the attendant. The a
At dawn, Donald and Helma had breakfast and left for work. Ten minutes into their drive to the office, Peter noticed a car trailing behind them. " Boss, it is happening again" Peter said turning to Donald. Donald nodded and smirked. Helma stared confused and looked at Donald." It's your boyfriend! He wants to kill me " Donald said almost laughing. She turned back and noticed a car trailing behind them, she immediately looked at Donald worriedly."Don't panic, he can't do anything! It's the second stage of depression. Anger! " Donald said causally. Helma panicked and texted Kelvin " can you stop already!!!" But there was no reason from him. They got to the company and Helma stepped out from the car nervous. She didn't want Kelvin to create a scene here. Donald patted her back and nodded it was ok. They got inside through the elevator through the garage. Helma had no idea that there was an elevator there. Donald had a broad smile throughout the day. Helma could not understand what was
"Come here baby" Mary gently placed Helma in the kitchen stool. She sat down facing her and nodded softly for Helma to continue. "I don't know but I think it's the best decision" Helma said almost whispering. Mary held her hands and asked Helma if it was because of Clara she has made this decision, but Helma nodded no. Helma took another sip of her juice and opened up to Mary. She told Mary about yesterday's event, how she met Kelvin and how Donald interfered and has refused to say anything to her since yesterday. Mary smiled softly and held her hands. "Can you tell you a story?" Mary asked Helma who nodded. "There were two friends who were so fond of each other, one day they got a doll. It was the latest edition and they both got the one each. One day, one of them choosed to leave her doll outside without caring for it because she saw a new edition on a billboard.Her friend took the other doll in, cared for it, and changed her appearance. The other friend waited for weeks and the l
"Who is this man Helma?" Kelvin asked in range. Helma's heart ranged. She wasost a second. Donald turned to her expecting a word from her, Kelvin kept asking who Donald was to her, in reflex she resounded "my boss". Helma's reaction broke Donald's heart. He expected more than an employee relationship with her. Donald chuckled nodded his head and turned to leave. Helma ran after him calling him back.Kelvin ran after Helma trying to get her attention. Reaching outside, Donald entered his car and sat down with a heavy heart. He hit the steering and chuckled bitterly. Helma crossed over and Kelvin stopped her immediately. "Hey wait. Can't you see this Helma, your boss is taking advantage of you. Isn't it his sis that is bullying you?" Kelvin said catching his breathe. Helma looked at him confused. Kelvin held her hands and tried to explain to her."Why is he so protective of you? He even called you his wife! Are you sure he is not assaulting you? Those rich brats are the closest descript
"That was not the question I asked" Helma blasted without remorse. Kelvin inhaled softly and replied her "I had to. I had a lot on my mind and I had to" he stated. Helma nodded and looked away without talking to him. Kelvin asked Helma where she was staying after informing her he came over to her place few days ago, but it was already occupied by an African couple. Helma reluctantly replied and told him the estate she was living in.Helma's response struck Kelvin. "What?" He replied in shock. "How did you...." He added before Helma interrupted him rudely. "And I have also cleared the mortgage payment. You sold the house without my consent, left us in debt and ran away. Well Kelvin, I have cleared it up too" she said angrily. Kelvin bowed his head sincerely ashamed of himself. He tried to hold her hands again to apologize but Helma was not buying it."Helma, I made a terrible mistake. I wish I could turn back the hands to time. I was stupid. I was just a hor*y bastard trying to satis
