HELENA'S POVBeing in a place we're you aren't wanted or needed is a different level of humiliation. I knew Alexander's mom would want to fight back the moment she finds out I am the person who had exposed her secrets to her son. It was meant to be between my dad and I but the pain of not having a mother figure and the bottled up anger made me let the cat out of the bag. Now she is willing to fight her son for taking a different turn from what she had planned. The only reason I am still here is the love I have grown for Alexander over the last couple of months. I had to tell my dad everything that has happened in the past weeks. I felt guilty for not letting him know all along. Alexander has fulfilled his part by confronting his mother and letting her know about our relationship and the pregnancy. Even though she is in total disapproval at this point. Nevertheless if things turn out sour I would just leave a different area with my child. Out of the reach of anyone including my father.

Chapter Forty Three
ALEXANDER'S POV.In summer the day starts early. Moreover, in the mid year it's not excessively testing to try and contemplate advancing up beyond timetable to participate in the dawn. At first the sky becomes white, then a red dawn flares on it, birds begin to quaver in the foliage of trees. The sky is at this point pale, and not yet blue, as in the day. Then a significant red sun begins to slither out from behind the horizon. It rises quickly. Likewise, the higher it rises, the more unassuming it becomes in size. Besides, the sky light blue before our eyes, it turns out to be more wonderful, blue, warming up with the sun's bars. It's getting light as in the day, and simultaneously it's exceptional. The morning air is clear, great and new. People and vehicles have not yet sorted out some way to get dust. Likewise, the street is new, there is no early evening force and dullness. If at the present time you go out into the street, at first you are not used to shivering you will shiver,

Chapter Forty Four
HELENA'S POV. Since the last time Alexander's mom came haunting her son in his house I haven't seen or heard from her. I was at peace and blessed my God for having to sleep peacefully without the fear of being bagged on by a woman who loves to manipulate and control other people. Even though Alex and I had our own share of a little misunderstanding we didn't mind sharing the same space after all that's what lovers do; forgive, right?. It was a hot Friday afternoon and Maggie wasn't coming for the weekend. She had taken her off for.the week as usual. Alexander had told me he would return home before I could get my little fingers to do anything around the house. I believed him because I was lazy as hell and needed some rest myself. Alexander's love has turned me into a really lazy woman and each time I complained about it he would say I am the queen of his heart and queens are created to be pampered. I can tell you mine is excess. I remember on one of the nights I had complained of ac

Chapter Forty Five
ALEXANDER'S POVFrustrations are unavoidable, and the way that we adapt to them is in many cases an extremely important occasion in our lives. I never for one day imagined that Helena would do this to me. My mom had called me that there was an emergency at home. I should hurry. She didn't tell me why even after I asked. With fear I asked my driver to speed up so I could reach home on time. I was panicking, scared and didn't want anyone to be hurt. My mind raced through a lot of things I couldn't place but never thought about having another man on my bed. I raged and fumed. The Young Man had run out of the house."How could Helena do this to me mom? I asked a rhetorical question. I was expecting her to give me an answer but she did anyway."Son, I told you to stay away from her but you wouldn't listen now see?" Look at the shame she has brought upon us. Our name is going out on all billboards by morning. Have you seen it now?" My mom began to scold me like some kindergarten child."How

Chapter Forty Six
HELENA'S POVI couldn't pick out what exactly had happened to me on that said day. I couldn't give an explanation of what the man was or what he did to me on to bed. I guess j was too weak or two drunk to remember anything. I figured there was someone involved in this conspiracy. I couldn't help wondering why I have been filmed half naked on the bed with a total stranger. The thought of this whole mess makes me ponder on my life and why I had decided to come this far with Alex. If I had stuck to the rules all these unexpected drama wouldn't surfaced the way they did. No one would believe me. Alex doesn't even want to see or hear of me but the good thing is he hasn't asked me to leave yet. This right here would have been my worst nightmare. My dad barely fed him a three square meal so adding a pregnant woman to his burden would break him. I had no idea how I was going to come clean since Alex doesn't believe me. I cried my self to sleep everyd mother night and hoped that he would come

Chapter Forty Seven
CHAPTER FORTY SEVENALEXANDER'S POV.Today has been one hell of a stress for me. Merging the stress from work and the storm raging at my home wasn't just a thing for any weak man. I was drained emotionally and otherwise. I tracked my mom down to her executive office on the fifth floor of Solara Helixia, our family company building. It was nearly noon, and sunshine streamed through the floor-to ceiling windows of the ultramodern, European-styled office. The desk was a stark white, plastic with rounded edges. no drawers and a Plexiglas top that reminded me of my kindergarten days. The chair matched, molded plastic with white vinyl cushions. While the white shelf unit behind my mom held numerous impressionist glass objects and paintings which she'd likely paid a fortune for.Her computer was a bright white flat screen with a sleek marching keyboard, there wasn't a single piece of paper in the office. The only splash of color was a metallic abstract painting, in aqua and silver on the si

Chapter Forty Eight
HELENA'S POVAfter I shoved the envelope on his chest I went upstairs. I already knew what he wanted to say and I didn't have the time for that. I was disappointed at him and if no one would believe me he would have at least had a little trust for me. I walked majestically to my room and sat on the bed. I brought out my phone from my bag and dialed Gabriel's number. It wasn't even up to a second the phone started ringing he picked up. I wanted to tell him I was home and also to be sure if he was okay and home too. " You good?""Yes I am. I'm home actually, I called to say that". I told him over the phone."I'm just a few miles away from home. Thanks for checking though Gabriel said. We had nothing much to talk about since we had just spent the entire day together.I am exhausted, I need to catch some rest, I informed him. He quickly agreed saying he would call back later. I thanked him and got up to ease myself. Urinating every two seconds was something I was already used to. I went

CHAPTER FORTY NINEThings were beginning to go well for us and thankfully I have decided to brass myself up to any standard. Not even an external enemy would be able to stand me at this point. To my mom I will always be her boy and do as she says but she was quite mistaken. She has tied me around her fingers for too long. Helena and I decided to go on a beach house trip. This is something she had always wanted to do. I hadn't visited my beach house in about two years since I wasn't really a fan of the sea salt smell thing. It was a Saturday. The evening sun rose from the left horizon. It was in the evening , around 6pm; Helena and I were sitting on the beach, looking at the sea and the sun, and with Helena beside me fully dressed in her beach wear and hat.
