Just have dinner alone, please?" Massie nodded and left the room. I quickly locked the door and jumped back on my bed, clutched on to my pillow and started whimpering. I couldn't believe that the one responsible for ending the joy in my family is Davis's father. He knew from the begin and I guess that's why he can to my village years ago."I won't forgive you Davis..I won't." I said as I slide down my bed and slowly drifted to sleep
Helena's POVEarly the next morning,I had a dream. In my dream I saw my late father and brother in a dark room and my father was asking me to go away and take care of my sisters and mother.

I prepared for the day and went into The kitchen to prepare breakfast."Oh,oh," Massie said as she walked into the dining room, seeing me setting the meal on the dining table. "You're awake quite early..""It's past 7am Massie,"I said glancing at my wristwatch."Oh yeah...you know I thought someone was raiding our kitchen when I was in my room but then I thought and hoped you were the one... making breakfast..""Well..that's what I did..""Hm, ""C'mon sit.. let's have breakfast."

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 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
