~ Helen’s POV ~

A knock on my door woke me from my sleep.

I blinked against the day light spilling through the thin curtains and stayed still for a moment, groggy and half dreaming. My limbs felt heavy, and my mind was still swimming in the warmth of rest and the lingering memory of the night before.

Another knock, softer this time.

"I'm coming," I called out, my voice slightly hoarse from sleep.

I rose from bed slowly, stretching as a soft yawn escaped my lips. My muscles were still a bit sore, but the ache was pleasant…a sweet reminder of everything that had happened.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by the sight of Lisa, holding a wicker food basket in her hands.

"Good morning," she greeted, stepping in with a knowing smile.

"Morning," I replied, waving the sleep from my face and welcoming her in.

“Your breakfast,” she said, walking over and placing the basket on my small table near the window.

“Thank you,” I smiled, genuinely grateful.

She nodded politely, gave me a brief gla

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Better died

    ~ Mena’s POV ~The doors flung open to Sebastian.His countenance more stained than his shirt. That bitch’s blood was all over it, ruining it completely.She’s worth nothing compared to how much that shirt costs, and yet, she had her pig blood all over it. Disgusting.“Where’s Mom and Dad?” I asked quickly, noticing they weren’t behind him.“They’re on their way,” Sebastian responded, voice low but firm. Still, something was laced in it… something I couldn’t place.She’s bewitched him, obviously. That’s why he’s walking around with the look of mourning on his face.And if anyone asks, who is he mourning? A pig. A curvy ass pig from the dirtiest slum known.My parents walked in moments later, their faces pale, though not as pale as Sebastian’s.“Thank goodness you’re back,” I said, walking up to them.“You guys need rest from all this…” I began, but stopped as Sebastian shot me a death stare.Not surprised. “Sebastian, go get rest,” my mom said softly.He nodded slightly and took the

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    They have no idea

    ~ Sebastian's POV ~Minutes passed, each one dragging like a blade over my chest, as the nurses and doctor hovered over her fragile body, their eyes darting between machines and monitors, voices low and technical.I stood behind the glass doors, heart pounding against my ribs like it was trying to break free. Every beep from those machines felt like a punch to my gut. Every movement they made over her felt like a reminder that she was slipping further from me.Please, Helen... breathe… Just breathe.“She will be okay, you should go have some rest.” My dad’s voice cut through my torment like a dull knife. He placed a hand on my shoulder, calm and composed….completely unaware of the storm raging inside me.Rest?How could he say that? How could he even suggest it?I can’t rest. Not while she’s unconscious. Not while her chest rises and falls with struggle. Not while the one person who carries my light is barely clinging to hers.My happiness is tied to her, woven into every breath she t

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    In grief

    ~ Sebastian's POV ~My shattered heart pierced deeper with each passing second, each tick of the clock drilling into my soul like a curse I couldn’t undo. The silence around me isn’t peace…..it’s punishment. A cruel, swaying emptiness that echoed with everything I feared to lose.I kept my gaze locked on the emergency ward door, refusing to blink, refusing to breathe too deeply….as if doing either would make her disappear. My mind was a blur, thoughts crashing against each other like waves in a storm. Holding on to one hope… to see Helen. To see her open those beautiful eyes and call my name.Suddenly, the doors flung open, crashing my breath back into my lungs. And there she is…Her fragile form lay on a rolling bed as nurses rushed her towards the ICU. Machines beeped in urgent rhythm, wires tangled around her pale wrists, and the color that once lit her cheeks had completely vanished.I stood to my feet quicker than I ever thought possible, my legs moving before my mind could proce

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Hopefully she dies

    ~ Mena's POV ~The rage I saw in Sebastian’s eyes was something else… something dark, untamed, and terrifying. It sent a chill down my spine, but I quickly masked it with a scoff. What was all the fuss about?She’s just a maid. A damn maid.Yet somehow, she has him wrapped around her little, trembling fingers like some pitiful damsel in distress. I don’t get it. What’s so special about her? Her tears? Her innocence? Please. That girl reeks of manipulation. She knows exactly what she’s doing.And still, the house was in chaos. Sebastian throwing punches like a madman, the police arriving in a whirlwind, and all because of her. Because some other lowlife from her pathetic class wanted a taste of her.That’s all it was. Just one of her kind trying to do what they all do…feed on scraps, take what's not theirs. Maybe he got tired of waiting for her to open her legs willingly and decided to help himself. What’s the big deal?And now she plays the victim. Of course she does. Now that she has

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Poisoned

    ~ Sebastian's POV ~I drove back to the hospital, my heart more shattered than ever.The engine roared beneath me as the wheels spun over the road, but my mind wasn’t in the car. It was with her. With Helen. Her name echoed in my skull with every beat of my heart. The memory of her lying there, pale, broken… poisoned—was tearing me apart from the inside out.I needed to see her awake.I needed to see those eyes again….the beauty in them that made everything else disappear. The way they held me without touching, the way they softened the rage in my chest, the way they looked at me like I was more than this cruel world made me out to be.I spotted my parents as I approached the emergency room. They were seated side by side on those uncomfortable hospital chairs….rigid, cold, and colorless. But what gutted me was the look on their faces.Their expressions... It was like a mirror of my soul…drained, shaken, broken.My heart clenched harder.I quickened my pace, ignoring the pounding in my
