All Chapters of The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Helmut, after his wife had disappeared, took it upon himself to investigate her life, wishing he could understand her. To be able to make things right this time, so he understood Aitana's fear. A girl who had had to be hospitalized for several years where her treatments had ruined her family.'It was because of her illness that her parents accepted my father's help in order for her to marry me' Helmut says mentally.'Aitana, maybe it's just part of a protocol. Ariana will be fine. Don't lose hope' Helmut asks and Aitana nods as she watches her daughter slowly wake up."Mom" whispers Ariana and immediately Aitana places her hand on her daughter's covered arm. Winter had caused sheets to cover Ariana's body up to her neck. So, it was only when she pulled her hands out of the sheets and took her mother's hands that she felt her cold hands and saw how on her arms there were faint purple and red marks."Here I am, honey," says Aitana trying to control her urge to cry as she understands why

Helmut looked for some hint of a joke. Because to him, it was impossible for such a strong person to have such an aggressive tumor. It was impossible in his mind that the woman who survived leukemia as a child, and even passed the test of her curse and cured him, now had a tumor in her head.Stunned, he stepped back, as he saw Aitana's calm look, as if she had not told him that she was going to die. That his chance of survival didn't even exceed ten percent. "This is not a good time to joke, Aitana," Helmut says in a brittle voice."I came back here for you. I came back because I need you to take care of the children when I... die." Aitana says and Helmut brings his hands to his head as he looks everywhere but at the woman who has graphically dropped a bomb on him that prevents him from breathing normally."Please tell me it's a lie," Helmut pleads with her."It isn't. I went to the doctor today. Basically my tumor is pressing my brain against my skull to get some space. The headache

While I wait for the medicine to take effect, Eugene enters the room where he watches Ariana sleep, whispering to her about the adventures they will have when she wakes up. Cleo, even though she knows who he is and how I met him, watches every single thing he does as if he were Ariana's watchdog."Cleo, you should come home. Your son needs you." I whisper and she denies."My son is at school, he arrives after six in the afternoon. So, I can stay longer." Cleo says always looking over to where Eugene is."I need to meet with Helmut. Help me with that" I ask knowing we are not done talking."Ma'am, don't put me in such a difficult situation, I don't want Mr. to kill me for reminding him where you are. Because yes, most of the time he prefers not to know where you are let alone, what you have" Cleo says and I sigh deeply. "When I wanted him to disappear from my sight, he went almost every day to my house. But, now that I need him not to disappear, he does. At some point can we agree?" I

The nurse comes in and immediately, they begin to attend to her while I watch everything they do to her. Although they ask me to leave, I beg to stay and not to disturb. But, the cry of seeing my daughter moaning and asking me to stop the pain, makes me leave the room in tears.My physical pain is nothing compared to the pain that her weak voice asking for help causes in me. I try to take a deep breath and it is when I hear my son's voice, that I look up trying to be strong."Mom, is everything okay?" asks Albert and I would like to tell him that, yes it is, but, Ariana's whimpers had my lie discovered. So, I am honest with him."Ariana is going through a time of pain. She has a fever too, so, she's being attended to." I whisper."She will be fine. Ariana is strong like you, mother," Albert says and I nod smiling. "Who did you come with, dear? I think the butler was resting today and you had classes all day" he murmured and my answer comes almost immediately."Good afternoon, sorry t

The woman's pallor disappears for the blush that turns to her cheeks as she understands what is going on. So, I take a step toward her to clarify that I am not in a relationship with Helmut. But, apparently, he knows what I'm going to say, because he gets in my way."It's time to rest, come in, please" Helmut says and I sigh deeply."I thought you would still be running away and drinking, Mr. Baumann" I say staring at him."If you don't want me to drown my sorrows in alcohol, I won't, Mrs. Baumann" Helmut says highlighting the last name I haven't had for years."I am not the s..." I start to say, but, Helmut takes me in his arms in such a way that I must cling to his arms to keep from falling."What the hell is wrong with you!" I ask in surprise, while the pain in my head makes me hold my head with my freeing hand."You shouldn't walk so much, let alone spend your valuable time with people who are not professionals. Honey, we'd better get the kids out of that school, they seem to hire
