Through out their four hours drive, Helena didn't say a word. 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.

Helena's POVI rushed into the house few hours later and saw Massie at the sitting room. I ignored her abd walked into my room. She walked in few minutes later and stared at me on the bed."What's wrong Helena?" She asked with a confused expression and I shook my head with a forced smile.

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."

If you hadn't slacked in the past few weeks all this wouldn't have happened. You forgot that you are the CEO of the great Hurley Delight Designs. This is nothing compared to much work you will do when your father retires and put the company in your name... He's just preparing you for the future..""I doubt... He's just using me nowadays to get deals.. from top modelling companies.""No son.. your father isn't using you...""Nop. he's made my life hard..""It's because he found out that you were not paying attention to the company and you left home when he travelled...

Davis's POV I was racing after the car and I got a glimpse of the driver whose face was covered with a mask. I put my right hand through the small window winded down to take off the mask and see the face of the driver when the car swerved and I fell to the ground with my bike taking along a golden pendant and a half broken chain with the letter K on it. I got on my bike and zom6med off to the house back. I walked into the house after I parked my bike in the garage. I hollered Kimberly's name as I got inside and I rushed to her room and saw her polishing her nails."Hi brother... Look at my nails..""Why did you do that?" I said as I gripped her shoulders standing her up. "How dare you attempt to kill Helena!" I yelled and my mother and father rushed in."What's going on dear?" My mother asked softly as I railed my fingers down my head."Speak now...""I didn't do it O

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
