Chapter 14
Helena's POV
I was rushing to the café and was about to cross when I heard a feminine voice hollering my name. I turned back staring at the girl with raven coloured hair and grey eyes heading towards me and I smiled and screamed "Massie!"
"Helena!" Massie said and hugged me tightly.
I was so happy to see massie .She is my childhood friend. She left Adelphi (our village)two years ago but I never knew she was in New York.
"How have you been massie..."
"Cool..you didn't tell me when you came to New York..."
"Ooh I just came to New York four weeks ago...I've missed you
Charles's POVI got into my car parked behind the café reminiscing on how Helena turned me down and how I spoke to her. I felt unhappy for what I said and her silence then was what was bothering me immensely. I pondered on what she would be thinking of me now. "A crazy mean jerk as always," I said aloud and banged my right palm on the steering. Why would I care? I have always been like this and that won't change. I suddenly came down from the car and I headed to the café to tell her to be back home quickly. As soon as I got there, I saw her sitting with a guy, having a meal with him and speaking with him. A tinge of anger ran through my veins as I watched her, my fists clenched. She didn't want to have coffee with me a while ago saying she was on duty but now she's having a meal and chatting with a guy."What a fucking sl
Helena's POV it really wasn't a hell of a day today, I had gone to do a big delivery for a company doing night over work and shockingly Davis had dropped by and offered to do the delivery while I just escort him to the company and take the payment for the order since the delivery guy,Cade had taken a leave for today,so the manager accept and wanted to pay him for his willing service but to my utmost surprise Davis only requested a day off for me for Friday and before I could say a word the manager agreed to his request. I wonder what Davis was planning to do that day. I got home at 10pm. and walked into the house. I was stunned to see Charles pacing around. He stopped, sighting me and grunting. "you really love coming late and keeping me up right,?"
Helena's POVI can't believe Charles was staring at me at the moment through the rolled down window of his car. Holding the steering firm with his big hands,he beckoned at me to come in and I snarled, letting out a loud his as I continued walking down the road. Who does the guy think he is?my saviour? or my life changer?. He sent me out and now he's here wanting to take me home. I bet he has some new plans beneath his sleeves. I refuse to follow that selfish egocentric jerk. Looking above my shoulder with the corner of my eyes,I saw him driving slowly behind. I Increased my pace and he suddenly sped up when I was far away , swerving his car ahead of me which blocked my way then the car came to a halt. He looked at me and beckoned at me to get in again,this time with a stern look and I looked away thinking
Helena's POVThe next two days were not much of a ruckus between I and Charles until Friday night. Davis had actually taken me out for sight since I had the day off,all credits to him. We went to different places in Manhattan,we played video games and took so many pictures throughout the day. Davis had insisted on dropping me home, when he felt there was no hope of me getting a Uber within and I gave in to his request after his incessantly pleading. His power bike came to a halt in front of Charles house gate and I came down. without saying a word he followed me inside and was about to go further when I stopped him. I didn't want Charles to see him and cause a scene which I might not be able to control."Huh so Davis,this is where I stay for now...I squat with someone."
Helena's POVThe next day, I didn't bother to prepare breakfast, I was about to leave for the cafe first when I stopped by in front of Nanny Rita's room, hearing her humming,I knew she was in. I wanted to see her but just ended up walking away and out of the house. I got to the café,took my monthly salary,tucked it into my bag and left, Ignoring Rae who was waving at me. I went back to the mansion,took my prepared luggages and left without saying a word or dropping a note for Nanny Rita let alone bidding her goodbye.Massie's POVI wonder why Helena asked for my address last night. She sounded worried even though she tried to hide it. I was changing the bed sheet in
Charles POV- Few days laterFew days later,the detective came to my office with the envelope containing Helena's infos.I opened the envelope and my eyes widened seeing it's content .I couldn't believe what I'm reading."She is a low class girl from Adelphi. She has a family... Her blind mother and sisters live in a cottage in the outskirt of Adelphi. She moved to New York a month and two weeks ago. Her dad and brother died in a ghastly road accident." The detective explained and I raised a brow in shock. I guess she must have respected her dad so much. No wonder she couldn't tolerate me insulting her father by saying he didn't installed the right values in her."She came to New York to get more money and train h
Charles's POV"What the heck... Why is it..""Chill." I turned the knob several times but the door didn't open. "What's going on...""Oh... Shit... You slammed the door, didn't you...""Yeah...

Charles's POVI carried Helena out and placed her at the centre of the café for fresh airI shoved the people who were about to form a circle and tapped Helena's cheeks."What happened to her?" The green eyed guy asked as he reached us, kneeling beside Helena and everyone started murmuring. I cast a glare at him wondering where he was before."I will get wa lolter," He said and left. I glanced at everyone staring at me and brought my face closer to Helena's face."I just have to do this," I muttered and covered Helena's mouth with mine then I blew air into her mouth and she opened her eyes and gasped.&n

Helena's POVCharles has been acting strange towards me. He was always moody because each time we saw, I always brought up his mom matters. If I tell him to reconcile he would get mad at me and leave. I really didn't see any success in my plan but I was happy because things were going well with Davis and Massie. Massie had changed big time. She wasn't the shy Massie I knew. She had confessed her feeling to Davis one day when they went out and that cut Davis off guard. He turned her down but she knew he was hiding
Helena's POV"When I arrived, I found out that my beloved John was dead",she continued after a brief silence." I knew Charles wouldn't want to see me and... I realised that he was in love with you. I have been following him for the past three weeks and I realised that you both shared a great bond... I knew that you would be the only one to unite my son and I... So I'm asking you," she paused and held my hand. "Please follow me to see my son. I have lost my husband and daughter and I don't want to loose the only one I have..""No need to ask," I said and wiped away her tears. "You have suffered a lot to save your family... I
Helena's POVThings were going smoothly for Charles and I. I had already gotten a job as a part-time cook in a café opposite Massie's pharmacy which was great for both of us. We spent much time with each other. Sometimes she comes to have coffee in order to chitchat with me and other times I do go to her pharmacy when she am less busy and so is she. I was preparing to leave the café one certain day when Massie called me."Hello,Helly...""What's up Massie? Are you hom
Charles' POVI woke up the next morning and stretched my body. What happened last night flashed my mind and I sighed. I must have gotten Helena upset by yelling at her. I guess she has left. I was really famished and I went downstairs. I went to the dining room and stared wide-eyed at the different types of dishes on the table. What's going on now?"Tada!" Helena shouted behind me and I turned around and glanced at the jug of milk in her hand."Good morning sleeping head," she teased as she dropped the jug on the table."This...?""I ha
Charles' POVI could feel that Helena was staring at me as I was driving. I glanced at her and she quickly looked away and I smirked."I'm sorry," she said with a sullen expression. "I didn't care about you today...""Aarrgh!" I yelled as I halted and turned to face her."You did that on purpose right...?""You were annoying ... And I wanted to make today special for Davis. I'm sorry for turning down your request for us to go on a picnic. I already had today planned," she pouted and I giggled ."What...?""You're ju

"Beef and carrot stew with rice for you," she said placing a plate in front of me. "Baked penne with cheese and vegetables for you too," she said and placed another bowl in front of me. "And Hungarian chicken soup with Mexican meatballs," she said and placed another bowl and
Helena's POV Charles walked towards us and stared at Davis sternly."It's improper you know... You think I will stand by and watch you go out with my girl?""Hey jerk...""Hush baby doll.. you didn't tell me you were going on a date with him. You refused to go out on a picnic with me for him?" He grizzled."He's my best friend and I was just going to give him today as a belated birthday gift... Don't get the wrong ideas...""Are you bo
