Charles's POV
I went back into the cafe after waiting in my car for over two hours and was directed to the back of the cafe to see Helena. I met her there leaning on the wall and staring at the sky,her eyes were watery. I stood next to her, gazing up at the sky too.
"Why are you here sulking Helena,?"
"Get lost..you always seem to bring an end to my happy life.."
"Is it because I exposed Davis..?"
"Not just that,I knew you did it to purposely hurt me. you want to see that stupid silly wretch break down before you and say :'you are right Charles,am a fool' Right?!?!"
"no,"I said
Charles' POVI left the café and stopped at where I parked my car. I can't believe her. She thinks I'm a stalker. "Aargh!" I yelled as I kicked my car tyre in rage."Why take out your anger on this poor stressed out tyre?" Davis said heading towards me and I sneered."You know if it was damaged, you wouldn't have been able to come here." he slipped his hands into his pockets and stared at me."What do you want?" I asked. "And why are you always hovering around Helena...?""Are you asking me that..? You don't know? OK, I will tell you," he said and touched his left ear. "I.. Love... Helena.. And that's why I had to co
Charles's POV It's been over a week since I last saw Helena after that night and I couldn't get over her neither did I have the guts to come see her at the cafe. The challenge Davis threw at me was still a hard thing to do because I had no idea whatsoever of how to do it especially when Helena sees me as a bad being. I was at the kitchen trying to make a burger for myself. I really didn't know how to make it and due to that I made a big mess in the kitchen. I scattered utensils on the floor and was about to pour a cup of flour into the hot oil to make something out if it which I can't name when I heard my name being hollered from the living room. The voice sounds like Helena's but I couldn't be sure for I know she wouldn't have come to my house. I hear footsteps advancing and I stood still, staring at the door until a figure showed up.
Massie's POVHelena left very early for work on Tuesday,she had come back late last night possibly because she went to see that jerky Charles,I assume. She didn't even have breakfast. I was preparing for breakfast when I heard a knock on the door and I rushed to check who it was."Oh... It's you Davis...""Hi.. Good morning...""Morning... Come in," I said making way for him to come in and he smiled and came in."Huh... Where is Helena?" He asked."She has already left since..""It's past seven..." Davis said, checking his wrist watch. "it's quite..""She wanted to
Massie's POVI shook my head with a faked smile, struggling to hold back my tears. Helena came out and walked up to us,she was looking so beautiful in a blue flare gown with bolts. I glanced at Davis staring at her with a lovely smile and chuckled.“you look great helly..”“Aww,thanks. Go get ready now”“umm,I have fever and I'll be going to the pharmacy.”“But it's Saturday” Helena reminded and I glanced at Davis.“ well I really need to go and grab some drugs to feel better.”“okay then.Take care friend.” Helena left with a gloomy face and Davis followed her behind after giving me a thumbs up. I knew she really wanted me to follow her but I can't. I rushed into the house and broke down. I really don't know how am going to forget Davis or stop loving him. I stared at the TV whimpering as images of him flashed my mind. &nb
Charles's POVI waited calmly till everyone stopped clapping and sighed. I gave a glance at everyone before clearing my throat, feeling a bit nervous for he first Time in my heart."I really want to appreciate Mr Hurt for inviting me to this special party of his and am glad to see all of you here. It's really great to be here..and to that I say kudos to the Hurt Empire"I paused as everyone applauded. "Am so glad to be here abd given this glorious opportunity to speak to everyone here and with wasting time I would like to say a few personal words about myself"I paused swallowing my spit."I was like an Oasis in this big world living my life with no great joy or happiness until a special one walked into my life in an unexpected circumstances. I hated her but unknowingly my hate for her turned to love which I couldn't believe. I started realizing that she's the woman,the perfect woman for me who's gonna lead me high and embrace my existence with her heart..I ne

She dosed off and I woke her up when I halted in front of the house."I guess tonight was hectic..and the long drive..my sincere apologies" I said as she came down from the car and chuckled."Don't always be a decent guy...it's okay. I enjoyed the drive and the party was nice...""Charles just had to ruin it for us. Sorry if what he did..""Please let's just forget it all. I will head in now. Am tired" Helena said and I hugged her before she went my inside. My phone rang and I checked the caller.it. was Dad. I hissed and got into the car. By the time I got home it was past 4 so I headed straight to my room only to see my dad seated on my bed. I chuckled. "So you're back..""Hm, keeping a tail of me...I request you leave..am tired...""

Huh is she home.?""No..so go away...""I will wait ...""Am not inviting you in okay?""No problem.

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
