The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 50
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 everywhere, tearing me from the inside out and impossibly loud in the silence of the office.And it came from him. Barron.The one person I had started to—I shut the thought down instantly.“What did you just say?” I asked with my voice coming out quieter than I expected.He didn’t answer. That made it worse.I stared at him, waiting. Watching. Expecting something, anything. Maybe some sort of clarification, correction. Or a bloody explanation.But nothing came.The silence stretched.“What do you mean by that?” I asked again, firmer this time.Still nothing.My chest tightened as the questions in my head grew louder. Anger.“You’re just going to sit there and not explain yourself?” I presse
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 49
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 me as he didn't respond. Told myself I didn’t need to wait. That I wasn’t expecting anything.But I stayed.Then the sign appeared.Paused. Disappeared.Then came back again.I pulled my brows together slightly.Then finally—B: Hey.That was it. After all that time.I tilted my head slightly to my side while just staring at the screen.Normally, he would add something. A question. A tease. Something that gave us something to talk about.Tonight… nothing.I guess it's my turn tonight. So I shifted on the bed, pulling one leg under me.Me: How was your day?I started out with a simple question. Safe and neutral.The typing stuff came again, quicker this time.B: Fine.I blinked. That was… s
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 48
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 in my hands as I walked towards the roadside, glancing at the address again.It was far. Too far for something that sounded so casual.A small crease formed between my brows as I flagged down a cab.Why would she send me all the way out there?I didn't get an answer, but I got in anyway.The ride took longer than I expected as the further we went, the more unfamiliar everything started to look. The usual city noise faded as things got quieter, and the roads grew less crowded. Different.I stared out the window, absently tapping my fingers against the package.What is even inside this?It wasn’t heavy one bit, and didn't feel fragile either. It was just… there.I thought about opening it.
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 47
Tessy’s POVThe plan was already in motion. All I had left was to get the guy.I remember how he was literally over her, nervous the moment I came into the conversation.What is it about her anyway? Why do they all want her?Whatever it is, getting him would make everything worth it.I paused in the hallway for a second, pretending to check something on my phone while I tried to remember clearly. Yes—John from, I think the Sales department. Helena had introduced us that day and I could still remember his face pretty well.He’s tall, yes. He's got a neat beard too, and kept stealing glances at her even while we talked. I had seen it. He definitely had a thing for her.Perfect.I started walking towards the sales wing with my heels clicking softly against the tiled floor. The office was still buzzing with the usual end-of-day energy as people packed up and printers hummed along with the low conversations floating around. I moved with purpose but not too fast. The last thing I needed
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 46
Helena’s POVMy breath struggled to make its way out as my eyes dropped dangerously to his lips, then up to his eyes.Neither of us said a word as we both got ever so close.So close, so close, then—A loud sound rang out from underneath us, startling me as I jumped back.Barron wasn't too shaken, he just leaned back, reaching for the phone after a second.Beads of sweat formed over my head and dropped down my cheeks.I wasn't even aware if he had made the call or not, all I knew was that I spotted his hand coming towards me and shrieked immediately.“I'm so—sorry, I think—I think I need to go,” I managed to say, reaching for the door.“Helena, wait—”But I was already pushing the door open and stepping out.“Helena, you don't have to leave this way,” he whispered.“Thank you for tonight, Barron. Thank you for inviting me,” I muttered in response through the window.He nodded slowly and I waved back at him before walking towards the door.I had just left the hardest moment in my life,
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 45
Helena’s POVThe room felt heavier the longer I stood there.Like the air itself carried weight.I stepped closer to the bed slowly with my eyes fixed on him.He looked… smaller. Weaker if I dare add.Nothing like the man I knew.My chest tightened as I reached for his hand again, holding it gently.“I’m here,” I whispered, then his fingers shifted slightly under mine.Then, after a moment, his eyes flushed open slowly.“Helena,” he said faintly and relief washed over me immediately.“How are you feeling?” I asked softly, leaning in.He exhaled weakly. “Still here.”A small, shaky smile slipped onto my lips. “That’s enough I guess,” I murmured.For a moment, silence settled between us again.Then his gaze sharpened on me slightly. “We need to talk about it.”My chest tightened instantly.Of course. I should have known he'd bring this up at once.I swallowed hard. “Grandpa—” I started softly, but he didn’t let me finish.“I need your decision,” he cut in weakly.I looked down at our jo

Helena's POV I could see it now. Could see what everyone was oozing about. It was everything and more worth being all so freaked out about.It was a stark contrast to what happened below and tripled my expectations.To say the executive level was something else would be an understatement.It was
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 12
Helena's POV I froze, turning to the screen of my system before I could do otherwise.Tessy's unceasing teases instantly became a thing of the past as I read the title of the message.AN INTERNAL MESSAGE.I frowned slightly before reaching out and tapping it open. Immediately it did open, the subj
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 10
Helena’s POVI stared down at the screen for far longer than I should have.Usually, I wouldn't attend to messages by this time, but I felt some form of obligation to respond.So, I stared at it for a moment longer before unlocking it.B: You’re still awake?Against my will, a small smile tugged at
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 8
Helena’s POV“I didn’t realize the office was still occupied.”The voice came from the door just opposite where I sat, startling me as my shoulders stiffened instantly.I knew that voice, how could I possibly forget it. I turned too quickly as my chair rolled fast against the polished floor, only b
