ALEXANDER’S POVIt’s been a week since I last had an argument with Helena. She has deliberately locked herself up in her room for the past seven days and only come out to get what to eat when I am gone to work. I had to call Maggie to resume work after the first few days of our argument because Helena has refused to come out and even when she finally does she wouldn’t talk to me. She was giving me the silent treatment which was killing me deep down. I felt like thorns were plunged into my skin, piercing my body every single time I tried to make things right. It wasn’t my fault that all of this happened anyway but she had to make me suffer for the sins of my mother. I had still had to make sure I put all protective measures in place just to make sure she is safe even when I am away for work just in case she wants to out on her own or something. She isn’t allowed to go out on her own but I know Helena too well, once she’s resisted from doing what she wants she would tag it as being cage

ALEXANDER'S POVNow that I had managed to come clean with Helena the next was my mom. I know this is a really drastic decision but I didn't care about anything anymore. I would have to face my fears or they would help me ruin my life effortlessly. Even though Helena had forgiven me I have taken a decision to stay clean with her until this whole drama was over. It isn't new anymore to Maggie that I was in love with Helena. In fact when I asked if she knew anything about us she told me that she had liked Helena from the first day she was brought into my home as a wife and that she knew we would end up together eventually. Was my lifestyle that obvious? I mean even the house keep knew I wasn't nice to Helena. The war that might come after what I was about to do today would shake the walls of my home. As much as I loved my mom so much and didn't want to lose her, I have found love for the first time and I wanted it to stay for as long as I lived. Helena was fast asleep after the sweet er

HELENA'S POV I had only gone out to get a few things I would be needing. I had run out of soaps and a few other toiletries I needed to get for the house. Normally, I wouldn't have gone by myself but because I was so bored at home I had to take the risk to get to the shop. I told the driver where I was going and we began the journey. We had driven just a few miles away from the house when I noticed the driver stealing glances through the rear mirror in front of him. He had noticed the strange vehicle behind us and since I was at the back u didn't notice anything. I was busy on my phone watching a TikTok live show of my favorite celebrity Steve Harvey. I only looked up when I heard the driver say to me."Ma'am I think we are being followed".And then he took the left turn instead of the one on the right. He was smart enough to quickly call some security agents. I didn't know that we had guards watching us as well. With the speed I thought I was going to lose my life at that point. I w

HELENA’S POVThe day of the award has finally arrived. I had mixed feelings about the whole but deep down I was sure that everything was going to be alright no matter how complicated everything would be. Today Alex and I were already in love. At least he would not give me that disdainful look when we are out together as a couple. To us whatever will do tonight would be an act of love but to Alexander’s mom it would be a mere act of pretense and public display of affection. I was grateful to God for giving me such a privilege and opportunity to carry the child of a young multi millionaire. We have finally been discharged from the hospital and I was thankful. Alex wouldn’t let me do anything since the doctor advised him that I should eat as much as I eat. I have not had much appetite for the past couple of days and so he had added a few drugs that would boost my appetite. “Why do you treat me like a baby?” I asked himYou are my baby, that’s why he said with no expression on his face.

ALEXANDER'S POV.I just can no longer deal with my mom's overbearing attitude. What kind of a mother derives pleasure in seeing her son unhappy.I had just received my award as the youngest and wealthiest man in the world. I had influence, fame and Affluence in a world filled with men who had gone all gray in the system. My mother had worked so hard to get me to this position no doubt and I truly appreciate her efforts.When I got down from the podium we were asked to take pictures with the president and a few other ministers. It was only appropriate that I took a few pictures with my wife. My mom has been upset since then. She whine about it the entire te as we left the hall. I didn't pay her much attention as I wanted to go home in peace with my wife. She gave me a glare but I didn't care after all I was used to her attitude.I quickly opened the door for Helena to go in and then turned round to the other side. My mom ran in front of me and stopped me from going into the car."Alex
