All Chapters of AGAINST THE TIDES: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I woke up to the smell of beacon and eggs. At first I thought I was back at my father's house in my little bed with soft pillows and fluffy socks on. I looked down and I noticed I was only wearing a shirt half way down my thighs. I had little memory of last night, I remember I had finished my food fast enough and went into my bathroom to have a good shower from all the weeks stress and the smell from the hospital and next thing I stepped out naked to find Alexander in my room and we began kissing and I woke up here.I held my head in both hands, "Morning Sweetness", A deep husky voice saidI took my hand away from my head and looked over to see Alexander standing by the door, he had only the underpants he had wore last night on. I surveyed his body with my eyes. I didn't notice the tray of food and the bottle of water he had in his hand at first."Hey, I smiled back, watching him walk up to me with the tray in his hand. He kissed my lip softly. I love you, he said."I kissed back, I

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR.We drove home in silence as he held my hand all through the journey home.Damn, Alexander has got the hottest look ever. The moment we got to the house he held me by the waist as we climbed the stairs to our rooms. I wanted to go mine but Alexander wouldn't let me. We struggled and giggled for a few minutes then he succeeded in trapping me against his door. He smiled at me, his smile was so genuine it made my heart skip. Lost in my thoughts I stood there looking at his face beams with a kind of beauty I hadn't seen. Alex was a sweet soul hiding under the mask of an arrogant and ruthless young man. He is a perfect description of do not Judge a book by its cover. I squirmed under his gaze for a moment, feeling confined as I stood compressed in front of him. I clasped my hands, fiddling with my thumbs as I avoided his eyes. "Helena," He began, "are you afraid of me?"No", I quipped.He continues, beaming at me this time. You're not going to stand there looking at

Helena's Pov The moment my dad said that my eyes and ears shut open. I panicked and could no longer understand what he was saying. Was he just cooking up words to make me hate Alexander? I doubt it."Dad what do you mean?" I panicked.I barely knew my mom and I have lived all my life in her absence. I was raised by my dad who had fought for me every single time. This was the only favour he had asked from me and here I was getting a detailed explanation to cause of my late mother's death. I knew Isabella was mean and heartless but to a point where she ocd take another humans life was what I didn't understand. What could have caused the rift? From the pictures of my mom that I had seen in my dad's drawer she looked like she couldn't lay a finger on a fly. Why would Isabella want to eliminate the life of a poor woman who had not done anything thing to her. I waited patiently for my dad to give me the entire story about my mom's death. This wasn't going to be funny but I was determined t

ALEXANDER’S POVSince the very first day I made love to Helena I knew she had been abused or something bad must have happened to her to make her want to abstain from sex for so long. She was unusually tight but when we finished I didn’t see any blood on my dick or on the bed indicating that I had just broken a fresh hymen. Sao when she told me the reason behind her shyness towards me whenever we made it, I felt so sorry for her. I want to be there for her. To protect her at all times, as much as u can. She was soft and had a kind heart. These days getting a woman with such qualities is not so easy and I strongly believe that if she’s given an opportunity to prove herself in a more formal situation with more tasks at hand she would deliver. She was smart and only needed a little grooming to push her to the limelight of the kind I wanted for myself. Well my mom hasn’t known yet that she gave me a treasure to value and keep for myself alone. This was almost a week since she last had that

HELENA’S POVWe were still asleep when we heard the bang on the front door. We both rolled out of each other’s arms. I laid on the bed and stretched myself while Alexander went by his window to check if any car had pulled in while we were still asleep. Shit! He jumped back to the side of the bed."You need to go to your room as soon as possible". He told me and began to jump quickly into his clothes.“What’s the problem?’ I was confused and panicked all at once."Mom is here” he finally answered.Fuck. Shit!I jumped out of the sheet naked. I ran over the other edge of the bed to get my clothes. I didn’t bother to put them on. As I raced out Alexander grabbed me by the arm and kissed me, then told me to stay in my room.I got this baby. Just wait for me” he said and hurried out too. I got to my room and wore my big pajamas like I had always done when I was first brought into this house. The banging on the door didn’t stop until Alexander had opened up.'Since when did you remove my
