The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 80
Helena’s POVI woke up before my alarm.For a second, I didn’t move. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, feeling that strange in-between state where everything was quiet but not peaceful. My body felt rested enough, but my mind… my mind had already started.It went straight to him.I let out a slow breath and turned my head to the side, pressing my cheek into the pillow like I could bury the thought before it fully formed.“No,” I muttered under my breath.I wasn’t doing this again. Not first thing in the morning.I pushed myself up, swung my legs over the side of the bed, and sat there for a moment longer than necessary, grounding myself. The floor was cool under my feet, something real.That was what I needed. Reality. Not whatever that moment yesterday had been.Not the way it had felt.I stood up before I could drift too far into it and made my way to the bathroom.The light was too bright when I flipped the switch, I squinted slightly as I reached for my toothbrush. The ro
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 79
Barron's POV “I feel peace.”The words brought a kind of silence in my head I hadn't felt in weeks. I didn't feel empty, I didn't feel numb.I just felt… quiet.I leaned forward on the edge of the bed, my gaze drifting past my feet, past the mart beside me, past the version of myself I had been carrying into every room like armor. It moved past the me in meetings, the me when making decisions. The constant awareness of how I sounded, how I moved, how I was seen.It used to feel necessary. Now it just felt… loud.Cause underneath all of that, beneath the control and the structure and the discipline I had convinced myself I needed—There had always been something simpler.I exhaled slowly, dragging a hand down my face. I didn’t need to think any longer. I already knew.I felt like myself when I was with Helena.The realization didn’t hit hard. It didn’t shake anything. It just melted into me. Soft and certain. Like the only truth I'd ever told myself.I didn’t feel like the man who me
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 78
Barron’s POVMy head snapped towards the door before I even registered getting up, my body already going stiff like I’d been caught doing something I shouldn’t.And for a second there, I just stared at the dark space. Then a thought dropped in. “Grandma?” I called and she stepped in further.From the way she was standing, she'd been there long enough to see me crumble, long enough to a part of me no one deserved to know. I grimaced, suddenly realizing how vulnerable I was.“How long have you been standing there, grandma?” I asked, pushing myself up from the bed, my voice coming out rougher than I meant it to.Her lips curved slightly, but not enough to call it a smile. “Long enough,” she said simply. “I’ve seen everything.”A breath left my lips as I straightened, dragging a hand down my face before looking away.“It’s nothing you need to worry about,” I muttered, already brushing past it like I could bury the whole thing under tone alone. “I’m fine.”“You’re not fine,” she argued.I
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 77
Helena’s POVThe rest of the day didn’t feel real.It moved, sure it did. The clock kept ticking and people kept talking when I stepped out. Phones rang from every corner while footsteps passed my door like nothing had happened.But I couldn’t find myself in any of it. I was just… there. Sitting, writing, typing, sorting out files and answering calls when they came.Like my body showed up, but everything else stayed back in that moment.He didn't call after that, didn't send a message. Almost like he'd been plucked out of the earth from there.My fingers hovered over the keyboard longer than they should have, my eyes scanning the same line over and over without actually reading it. Every now and then, I’d catch myself drifting again, my mind slipping back to it before I could stop it.The kiss.My lips pressed together unconsciously, like I could still feel his lips against mine if I tried hard enough. Like it hadn’t completely left.I swallowed and looked down at the file in front o
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 76
Helena’s POVHis lips touched mine, and with it, everything inside me came rushing out.And afterwards? My body went completely still, like it didn’t know what to do with it. Like it couldn’t process what was happening fast enough to react.A sharp breath got caught somewhere in my chest, my fingers twitching slightly against him as the shock settled deep into my bones.This isn’t happening. This isn’t supposed to happen.My mind scrambled to catch up, to pull me back, to remind me of every single reason why this is wrong, why this needs to stop right now—And for a second, I almost did. I almost pulled away.The thought came clear and loud, pushing hard against my chest, telling me to end it before it got worse, before it could go any further.But then—Something else turned deep within me, not anything loud, not anything too dramatic.Just an empty feeling that felt so much like peace. Like a quiet pull. Like a silent desire.And before I could stop myself, before I could even think
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 75
Barron's POV She didn’t move after I said it. Her fingers stayed still by the side of her now closed computer.Her eyes stayed on mine for a second longer than they should have, like she was trying to read something labelled on my head, something I couldn't remember putting up there. Then she blinked quickly, almost like she had to force it, and her gaze dropped back to the desk.I kept my hand resting gently on the PC, then slowly pulled back, resting slightly on the desk.She let out a small breath, a barely audible one, and nodded like she understood everything just from that. Like she was already bracing for whatever came next.“Okay,” she said, her voice quieter this time. “Then… what do you mean?”I didn’t answer immediately. Cause I was still trying to come up with something clean to give her. As of now, I had no explanation, no prepared line. Just a mess of thoughts that refused to settle into anything I could control.My jaw tightened slightly as I looked at her. She was s

HELENA’S POVThe word didn’t just land—it cut right through me.A whore? What? Since when? For a second, I didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. My fingers curled slowly against my palm as if I could physically hold the sound and crush it before it settled inside me.But even that didn’t work. It spread ev

Helena’s POVMy thumb hovered over the screen longer than it should have.The chat sat open. His name—B—stared back at me like it always did. Familiar. Easy. Safe.I exhaled softly and typed away.Me: Hey.The message sent. And I waited.For a second, I almost locked the phone and dropped it beside

Helena’s POVBy the time I stepped out of the office building, I was already checking the address again.I frowned slightly at my phone.Tessy had sent it earlier after our little talk in my office. She didn't add more details in it as she just kept saying it's important.I shifted the small package
