Helena's POV
"Please hold I'm coming, I will be right there; please tell them to wait I'll be there in a...oops!" I exclaimed as I fell to the ground after bumping into someone and spilled the paper cup of coffee I was holding on him and he pushed me to the floor.
"Hey you worthless dog! How dare you! Are you blind?!" Charles Donald, a 6 feet 3 build and handsome man bawled dusting his suit. I've read this man in many magazines and I've heard a lot about him, he's famous for being one of the richest bachelors in New York; but I never knew he was like this, a rude and arrogant guy. I'm ready to give it to him now since he asked for it.
"Hey you buddy, you are the worthless one here. You got your eyes up while walking. You even pushed me to the floor but I let it slide."
"But for me, I won't, not until you get me another suit and a pair of shoes because the coffee you spilled on me has stained whole outfit"he said firmly.
"Oops, I'm sorry but I have to rush now."I said and was about to go when he grabbed my arm refusing to let go until I compensated him for his ruined outfit which I unintentionally ruined with coffee. I tried to wriggle free until I was fed up and I yelled. "Let go!" I slapped him across the face with annoyance and cast an unintentional look at passer-by staring at us in front of the mall. I glanced back at him fiercely,pushed past his two bouncers standing behind him and left then the bouncers made an attempt to chase after me.
Charles's POV
"Let her be," I said and left with annoyance back to my car and I zoomed off.
I got home and went into the house still thinking of what had happened earlier. I was in my room reminiscing when Nanny Rita came in. She was my nanny.
"What happened?" She asked looking anxious. "You look tensed. Did you bump into a tree dear?"
"Nanny, it's worse than that. But you know what, I'm gonna pay her back no matter what. Get me my special coffee while I go freshen up right now," I said and went into the bathroom furiously.
Few days later- Helena's POV
When the commercial bus stopped at the front of a snacks store, I came down to grab a piece of hamburger from the store and after paying the seller. While scarfing the burger, I heard yells and I turned back to check what was going on. Across the road, I saw a man whose back was faced to my direction lashing out at an old man. I wondered what was going on and it seemed serious. He immediately grabbed the old man by the collar and I rushed to the other side of the road to stop him from causing any harm to the old man.
"Let him go!" I said as I came in between and pulled the old man out of his grip. Then I caught a clear view of the impolite young man's face. It was the same guy I had bumped into few days ago at the mall, the arrogant Charles Donald.
"So it's you again," he said with a smirk.
"Yes it's me. How dare you do this to an old man?! Didn't your momma teach you manners huh?!" I bellowed at him.
"Stay out of this, this is none of your business," he scuffed. "This old worthless fool damaged my car's headlight and to top it all, he gave my car a scratch."
"Dear it was a mistake," the old man caught in with a faint voice and in tears. "I was in a haste to see my wife. She is waiting for immediate treatment in the hospital that's why I was rushing there to pay the required fee for her treatment."
"To hell with your wife!" He scuffed.
"Hey, he said it was a mistake. Don't you get it? He was in a rush!" I said furiously.
"It's none of your business. All I know is that this man is not leaving here until he pays for the damage," he said.
"Please sir let me go and see my wife; you can take my car."
"Your car? Is this a car," he rhetorically asked with a sneer. "Even if I sell this crap of a thing you call a car, it will not get me up to 50 cents. It's totally crap..."
"Then let it be," I cut in sharply and to the old man I said "Go, I'll pay for the damage." The old man thanked me gratefully and went into his car then drove off. I turned to the jerk and caught him staring at me with a smile plastered across his lips.
"So how are you going to pay for the damage Mother Theresa?" He asked me. He was mocking me.
"Well you're rich guy so just turn a blind eye over it."
"Oh! Look at her. You mean I should turn a blind eye to my headlight being broken huh? And you let the stupid old go without paying me like you are a super rich icon right?!"
"You know, God values humanity and you..."
"Oh cut the crap and give me my money! Right now you acted like you were a heroine in a sci-fi convention, but, should I tell you something; you should have played better. I knew that you had no money and your efforts to conceal that was so ill-conceived."
"Hey just hold it! How much does it cost for the damage?"
"Well, to repair this and polish my car would cost 150 bucks and nothing less. So, do you have it?"
"What! So much? Honestly I don't have that cash..."
"Then follow me," he said and grabbed my arm, pushed me into his car, he entered and quickly drove off.
Charles's POVI came to an halt in front of the police station and stepped out of the car."Hey get out," I said and she stared at me as I opened the door"Why did you bring me here?" She asked getting out of the car."You're asking me that?""Yes I am.""Well, I'm here to file a report against you for assault and trickery.""Assault you?" She said and chuckled. "When did I?""Oh! It seems you've forgotten. What happened when you met me at the mall? You slapped me and that's assault.""Hey that's defense okay. So when did I trick you?""A moment ago. You tried to trick me into freeing you from the debts you acclaimed from that old man; and that too, using God.""Hey I didn't do that okay!""Whatever, follow me!" I said, grabbed her wrist and turned around only to see a police man standing in front of us."What are you guys doing? This is a police station not a place for quarrelling."Actu
Helena's POV I was tidying up the kitchen because Tina, Bella and Claire had gone home when he badged in. I felt like punching him for what he did earlier but I held myself."Follow me," he said and gripped my wrist outside of the mansion to the abandoned store room beside the main house."Here will be your room.""But it's dark in here.""A lamp is in. On it you will find a matchbox, find it or sleep in darkness," he said and continued "hope you like it, Helena," he said and was heading back to the mansion when I yelled him and he stopped."Are you doing this? Is this your way of revenge? Is it because I insulted you?" I asked but he just smiled and and went inside ignoring me like a fool. I got inside the room, it was filled with dusty appliances and materials which seemed to be long used. I sat on the cold floor and I suddenly fell asleep. I had not gone deep when I felt something moving on my arm and I screamed and j
Charles's POVI was heading to my office when I saw Helena seated beside my office with a lunch box. I ignored her and went into my office."Hey you arrogant jerk!" Helena yelled at me as she barges into my office which scared the life out if me. I can't tolerate this. I stood up. "Are you insane?!" I yelled."You are the one insane!" Helena retorted furiously. "You just ignored me and came in!""You... Worthless!" I held her wrist tightly, pinning her to the closed door"Let go of me!" She wriggled then I let go of her."Why are you here?""Question!!" She blurted and placed the lunch box on the table. "Nanny Rita said I should give you this.""So?""I'm off," she turned to leave but stopped and turned back to me. "I want to ask you for a favor.""Hmm. Talk!""Actually I have a work, I mean I can't stay at your home morning till night.""Whatever! All I know is that I will have my dinner by 8:pm s
Charles's POVI could see the shock in her eyes. How could I say that to her? I just blurted it out unknowingly but I have to accept the worst fact which is that Helena is fun to be with. She has only spent a week with me but I seem to get attached to her. I really can't be like this though I employed her in order to pay her back for the insult so I will do it."I won't have coffee with you!" Helena said almost yelling. Yeah, that was what I wanted to hear."Are you sure?" My inner man said. "Didn't you wish she would say yes? Trying to be mean!""Shush!" I shunned him. "I have to do this". I glared at Helena and she did too and turned to leave when I threw the cup of coffee to the floor averting the eyes of the the rest customers towards my direction."What do you think of yourself you worthless fool!""What?!" Helena exclaimed surprisingly and she glanced at all the customers staring at us. "Why...""Clean it up... Its your job," I
Charles's POVI was kinda guilty for her condition. I don't know why I feel like I'm anxious. I went to work after breakfast. I couldn't stop thinking about Helena (only God knows why). I was restless. I went to the cafeteria later in the day and saw her serving customers sluggishly. She was looking more pale than she was this morning and was sweating even when the air con were on. She bumped into a customer who almost raised his hands at her. What a psycho! She glanced at me and I opened my mouth to say hi but she turned her back at me and went to the counter, she must be really angry with me. It wasn't her fault, all I displayed was nothing but what a cruel person would do. I was indeeed heartless. She wasn't wrong. Well I also wanted to get my revenge on her so why am I looking back? Why am I having pity on her? This isn't me. I never bothered taking a sit and I left. It was 7:45 pm and I drove
Helena's POV"OMG! I have this big room all to myself for two weeks," I muttered to myself and stood up.This is real!" I pinched myself and ran into the bathroom. Oh! It was magnificent. It was even more beautiful than the biggest house in Adelphi. Yeah, Adelphi it's my home town, the village I grew up in with love mixed with sorrow. Where all my misery started too. I don't want to remember the dreadful pasts for I gotta be strong for my family. I am in dire need of money to further my sisters education and cater for their needs. After dropping out from High school, I started doing various odd jobs to earn a living. To hell with things turning worse there(Adelphi). I have to come to New York; my dream city to realize my dream and also find my comforter, Davis. I really wish to see him, I miss him so much. Davis Wayne was my friend back there in my home town. He came into my life months aftermy father and elder brother died."Oh no, I don't want to th
Helena's POV * * * *"Holy shit!" I scoffed as I came back to reality."Oh gosh! This was his plan! Damn it!" I cried smacking my forehead with my palm. "But I still need the $2000 so I will just tolerate the pipsqueak," I shrugged and left. I entered the scooter and drove off. I got there fifteen minutes later due to Rae's faulty scooter and I got down and took the delivery from the scotter handle bar.I dipped my hand into my apron's pocket and got hold of a can beer. I brought it out. "Lucky me!" I thought and I opened and immediately gulped down the beer as I walked to the gate."Oops!" I raised my head up to see who it was. I was shocked to see who it was. Oh my God! This is my long gone crush, Davis. Yes, Davis. I stared at him speechless. I couldn't believe I would see him soon. I thought of what he would do now and my
Davis's POV * * * *"Sir, are you connected to that lady?" Cole asked again but I didn't reply. "Sir Davis!!""Hey! What the hell is with you screaming!" I yelled jolting back to reality after Cole's scream. "Gone nuts?""Sorry sir. I thought you were far from here in thoughts. What's wrong sir? The lady we met earlier seemed to have left you absent minded. She really cast a spell on you sir.""Nah! You know.. she just... Just forget it!""It was shocking seeing you few minutes ago ready to give up on this huge deal for her; like she was a fairy that you got to meet only once on Earth.""She is more than that," I muttered and Cole glanced at me."Well Mr Henshaw would have waited. He wouldn't be impatient to strike a good deal neither will he be stupid to conceal the deal just because of his impatience. I guess he's a bit sensible and reasonab
Helena's POV A month later, Davis and Massie got married. After a week,I and Charles went to see them off at the airport. The were going to Paris for their honeymoon. That was so sweet of them. "Have a good time Massie," I said and pulled her into a hug. "Take good care of Davis..." "Really! You should say that to her. She's going to pester me throughout our st
Helena's POV Few days after Massie had returned from Adelphi, she rushed into the house and gave me a tight hug."It finally happened Helena... Davis and I have started dating... Davis and I have started dating... We went to our first date today...""Wow... Oh my gawd! You never told me something was already popping up.""I never knew... Today he came to my pharmacy and said we should give our love a try... He said he liked me and we went on our first date today. Tomorrow we will go on a
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
Davis's POVI glanced at Helena who walked up to use,along side Massie with two large tray of nice foods."Here we go," Helena said as she placed her tray on the table together with Massie."Macaroni and cheese with vegetables for my beloved vegetarian Massie," she said and placed the bowl in front of Massie who already sat down. "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
