Helena's POV
I went to empty the filled waste bin at the cafe's kitchen before getting ready for the day work and I turned around after doing so to head back to the cafe but staggered back almost screaming when I Saw Charles behind me.
"You're sick or something hm?you almost made my heart jump out..""Am..sorry."he apologized and I shrugged and looked away. "Um..""What do you want?" I asked trying hard to seem mean but he just gazed at me. "Hey,"I scoffed."get out of my way if..""Are you okay?". He asked strangely to my surprise ."Am fine... you've got no right to ask me that and.."Yes I know,"he said looking away."but I just wanted to make sure you're fine after knowing everything..""Well.. yes"I said without having an idea of what he was talking about. "What are..""I will leave then..maybe thHelena'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. "Something went wrong at the cafe..?or..""Am fine Massie,I just want to be left alone now... please.""Okay..um.i'll call you when dinner is ready soon...""No..am not hungry. 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 woke up,bathed in perspiration. I held my locket before dragging my feets out of my room to the bathroom. 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." Massie sat opposite me and we prayed before digging in to the meal."You're cooking skills seems to be getting great Everytime..." Oh,
Davis' POVA week later;I was in my room accessing some new brought by our company's manager Cole when mum walked in."Mum...""Son you have been busy since this morning..""All thanks to your husband.. i have been damn busy ever since he came back from Italy..""You know it's your fault. 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... Now in order to punish you he's
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
Massie's POV It was 8:15 am when I walked into City Choice hospital and I walked to the receptionist. I inquired about Charles' ward and she directed me. I walked into the ward and saw Helena sleeping beside Charles with her head on the stead."Helena... Helena,"I called softly and tapped her on the shoulder and she woke up. "Come outside," I beckoned to her and we both left the ward."How is he?""Still unconscious Massie. He was shot right through the chest.""Don't worry, he will be OK...""I hope so," Helena said with a worried look."Go home and freshen up..""No. The doctor said he will regain consciousness this morning and I know he will. I want to see him regain consciousness before I go..""Hey girl.. Don't expect him to wake up and see you in this state..""What do you mean..?""Because right now... You stink," I said and she scowled."Just go freshen up and come ba
Helena's POV"What's wrong?" I asked Davis as I rushed into ward."Do you know..?" He rushed out of the room and took out his phone and put a call through someone before I could finish my statements."Mum.. Kimberly had an accident! Get to Rochester, she is admitted into City Choice Hospital. Come quick," he said and hung up as he walked back in."Davis do you know her.. She..""She is my sister.. My younger sister Kimberly," he dropped the bombshell and I just stared at her wide eyed. Davis' POVI knew Helena was shocked after I told her that. I hid the truth from her unintentionally that I had a sister and it was Kimberley and that she was also the one driving the car that almost took her down."Huh..." I cleared my throat. "Excuse me," I said and went out of the ward again. Twenty mins later, my mom and dad rushed in to the hospital,led

I huffed as I walked up to Nanny Rita who gave me a broad smile and a warm hug."Nanny it's...""Thank you dear for saving my Charles' life..!""Huh.. He was the one who saved me," I muttered and Charles scoffed."Who saved whom..? I saved her Nanny!"Charles booasted."Huh... Must you blabber all the time?" I asked and he gave me a wide look."OK... You saved me..""Better!" Charles said. I glanced at my phone and sighed."I have to leave now..""You just came silly.. Why want to leave all of a sudden?" Charles said almost yelling."Nanny is here... I want to go take permission from my manager... And I will be back in few hours and moreover... Nanny and you need catch up..""Pfff... Catch up? Did I go to another country for a year? You talk as if it's our first time seeing each other since a year.."
Charles POVI stared at Helena for a while before grinning like a fool."I hate to admit it," I said and stared at her from head to toe."but ,you alwayslook pretty "she blushed. She looked at me from head to toe and chuckled."You don't look bad either. The hospital clothes you perfectly," she said and burst into laughter and I sneered.Oh shit! I came out in this hospital clothes. I was worried because of Helena. I didn't even realise I was clad in this dim- coloured hospital clothes. I stared at Helena who was laughing hysterically. I couldn't help but feel ashamed."OK... I will stop it now," she said and her laughter ceased. "So now...?""Let's start dating Helena..""What?!""Yes... Let's start now..""Charles...!""What? I can't wait... I'm impatient... Let's go out now..""In this outfit of yours...?""I'm less concerned about that... You look all dolled up, so what's the big deal w

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
