Helma walked downstairs all dressed up for her first day. She wore a navy blue straight skirt and a patterned white sleeve. She walked downstairs with her hair tied up as pony tail. She smiled back immediately Mary held up her hands to her jaw and gushed at her. Donald and Clara turned to Helma's direction from the dinning table. Helma, walked shyly to the sitting room. Donald couldn't take his eyes off .Helma Clara noticed her brother's divided attention. She frowned her face "Hey!! You are drolling over nothing" clara yelled. Donald had an apple and left with Helma for work. Mr peter smiled at Helma as he helped her get into the car. Helma smiled weakly as soon as she entered the car with Donald. She opened her mails and saw the schedules of Mr Donald. She set a 10mins reminder to each schedule. His first meeting was with the resource management team 8am. The twenty minutes drive to the office was occupied with silence. Helma prayed silently for her first day, she kept repeatin
Helma closed the window blind, shut the system, switched off the lights and walked out of her office. It has been nine hours already. She stood outside Donald's office and waited for Donald come out. She waited for 5 minutes and went inside his office. Donald sat on his couch and stared at Helma. "I have been waiting outside your office for ages sir, we have closed for the day" Helma said with a frown.Donald chuckled at Helma's protest. He watched her grumble and said a thousand words under her breathe. "Come sir" he commanded making room for her in the coach. Helma sat down without looking at Donald. Donald noticed the perfume she wore. He has been perceiving it all day. "If you keep smelling like this, I wouldn't be able to control myself" he whispered leaning towards her neck. Helma looked at him surprised."Is something wrong with my choice of perfume sir" Helma asked controlling her breathe. She couldn't understand why this young man was always putting her on edge. "Vanilla and
Donald returned to his room smiling widely. He laid on his bed feeling fulfilled and happy. He has never enjoyed the company of any woman since his mother's death. Donald tossed on his bed thinking about Helma. He smiled at the thought of her silliness. Helma smelled like his mom and loved green just like his mom. Donald's thoughts were Interrupted by a buzz from his phone. It was from work.Clara laid on her bed in pink pj's and a sleep mask. She got up from bed at the buzz of her phone. She yawned while picking up her phone. "Hello" the voice sounded so familiar. Clara pupped eyes widened at the sound of voice. "Jay? Jay? Is that you?" She stutters. Jay and Clara talked for almost ten minutes. Clara giggled like a love struck teen. She played with her hair and would smile at anything he says. Clara floated in space. She had butterflies. At dawn, Helma woke up to join Mary fix breakfast. She wasn't as nervous as she was the day before. Mary and Helma fixed fried potatoes, eggs and c
Donald woke up at 3am and went to the library. He sat down and went through the company's record, growth, stocks and previous trade partners. He went through the list of employees, hired and sacked. He smiled when he came across a familiar name. Christopher. Christopher was his first personal assistant and secretary. He was more than an employee, he was a brother. Unfortunately, Christopher decided to emback on monastery. He became a monk. He went through other files and found the names of other hired secretaries. None of them lasted a three months. The male secretaries would inflate figures to earn extra and the females would always try to get to Donald's bed. Donald would eventually get them to his bed but will get rid of them the next morning. In his words "such behavior are not healthy for business". He went through the list and smiled again at Helma's name. His beautiful one night stand.Donald sat on couch in the study and went through the stock files. His attention was div
Saturday morning, Helma supervised the janitors. She instructed and kept an eye on them. She made breakfast and asked Peter to call the siblings for breakfast. Clara came downstairs and looked at Helma with contempt. Clara hated her guts each day, she went to meet up with her friends to device a way to kick Helma out of her brother's life. Donald came down for breakfast and smiled warmly at Helma. During breakfast, Helma reminded Donald of their dinner by 9pm and the mail sent in by Franco groups. " Sir, you are 10mins late for gym, we are attending Paul walker's dinner party by 9pm. Franco groups also sent a mail. They are scheduling a meeting with you on Monday morning 10am. She reminded. Donald Nodded and continued his meal. Helma freshened up and went to the salon to get her hair and nails ready for the party. She didn't want to embarrass Donald looking like a bag of potato at an influencial meeting like this. Immediately Helma walked to the salon, she met Clara and h
Donald walked out of his shower and stood before his mirror. He had a sack on his chest. He has never felt bad for scolding anyone before. A small voice kept reminding Donald that he did something wrong. He puffed out the air in his mouth and got ready for the party. He wore a black suit and unboxed the gift Helma got for him. It was an emerald colored tie and a cufflink. He smiled at the present and wore it. The tie matched perfectly with his suit. He styled his hair with a comb and wore his perfumes. He walked downstairs and stood by the stairs waiting for Helma. Helma hurriedly wore a black stiletto heels, a white dress that flared from her bellybutton with a one should sleeve, Emerald jewelries, and a black purse to match her heels. She applied a light make-up and fixed her ruined hair. Helma walked downstairs with her heart raising. She hasn't attended a dinner party before let alone a sophisticated one. She exchanged glances with Donald who was dumbfounded at the sight of her.
Helma had a forced smile on her face throughout the event. She greeted Donald's clients warmly and fought hard to forget everything that has happened earlier. From Clara's clash, to Tina's embarrassment. Donald checked his watch and it was already past 11pm ."we should get going princess" he said standing up. Helma nodded and immediately felt the pressure to use the rest room."I am sorry sir, I really need to use the restroom quick" she responded in a rush. Before Donald gave his permission, she left in a haste. On her way to the bathroom, she pumped on a family figure. "I am sorry sir" she muttered. Helma looked at the person in front of her and froze. Her urging bathroom pressings disappeared."Kelvin" Helma stutters. She could barely recognize him. He wore an expensive suit and a diamond ear ring. Kelvin stood with his hands in his pocket and stared at the dumbfounded lady in front of him. "Are you done staring, you should close your mouth! You are drolling miss" he spat at her. H
Helma stepped out of the shower and tried her hair. She applied her face lotion and picked her sheep pjamas she got from the mall. She hanged Donald's suit on the couch and arranged her bed. She switched off the bedside lamp and her door went opened. It was Donald. He had a sky blue pjamas on. "Can I come in Helma" he asked with a soft cold voice. Helma nodded and he locked the door. "I...... I... I mean, I didn't mean to hurt you. I was..." He stuttered and Helma completed his words "upset". Donald sat on her bed and looked at the sheets trying to avoid her gaze. "I shouldn't have yelled at you the way I did. I couldn't control myself. The thought and sight of seeing you in the arms of another man got me angry" she blurted out. "I am sorry you had to go through all that today. From the bully to everything. I am sorry I put you through all this" Donald apologized with sincerity in his voice. Helma smiled plainly and stared at him "it is not your fault sir. You should apologize" she
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
