MasukHelena's P.O.V The next day came quicker than expected, and it was the last day before the wedding. It was the bridal shower, the night the couple would let loose before becoming one. I got dressed and headed to the breakfast room. I took a seat and ordered pancakes and coffee. Theron, who had sat across the room, picked up his plate and joined me soon after. “Good morning to you too, Helena,” he said, smiling. I looked up at him. “Good morning.” I kept an expressionless face, but I knew deep down my breath fluttered. “How was your night?” He questioned. “It was okay”. “Just play? I was half expecting you to come knocking and surprisingly kiss me again,” he said. “I didn't know you'd get used to it this much”. “Who wouldn't?” He questioned. I rolled my eyes, and in that moment, a smile crept up my lips. He caught it. “Any other plans after this?” He questioned. “I would enjoy my afternoon till the bridal shower comes up. The bridesmaids and Lilith intend to go
Helena’s P.O.VTheron had his hands on my shoulders as he guided me to his car. When we arrived, he reached for the door and pulled it open. I climbed into the car and watched him shut the door. He walked around and got into his side of the car. He slipped the key into the ignition and turned it. The car roared to life, and soon we were on the street. I sniffed, desperately trying to fight the tears. My body jolted at Theron’s sudden touch. His hand had found mine, and I couldn't refuse it. I gripped it and slowly relaxed into the seat. I let the cool breeze touch me as he drove. I reached for my phone and searched through the contacts. There had to be a designer somewhere; after all, the clothes in Helena’s closet weren't bought in any random shop. Gotcha. I dialed the number, and it rang. “Hello,” I answered. “Wow, Helena Graves gave me a call; that's unexpected,” the voice replied. “Desperate times call for desperate measures”. “What can I do for you?” “I need a dress,
Helena’s P.O.VIt became increasingly hard to avoid Theron’s gaze, especially after what happened last night. We had gone our separate ways, and I expected him to ignore me, but right now he was staring me dead in the eye. I was the one glancing away, but every time my eyes found their way back to him, he was still staring. Everyone else noticed, but he still wouldn't look away. He didn't care what others thought, and that made it increasingly worse. I hated it. I scowled, and he chuckled. I rolled my eyes, and he would still chuckle. I only had a few minutes of peace when we got into the separate cars. My eyes were glued to the window, but my ears picked up the whispers and taunts from the other bridesmaids. Even Julia was there. I guess the whole she's no longer the chief bridesmaid was a part of the show. We arrived at the dress shop and got in. An employee named Audrey rushed to us immediately. “We've been waiting for your arrival. I can see the lovely bride,” Audrey smile
Helena’s P.O.V I just got out of a clean bath and put on a new set of pajamas when my phone rang. I paused and glanced at it. The word lawyer was written across the screen. I held myself back from rolling my eyes. I hoped he wouldn't tell me how incompetent he was. He rarely had anything good to say when he spoke to the former Helena. She had never been strict with him. There were even chances he tried to make her one of his mistresses. I had secondhand embarrassment from reading it. A shiver went through my spine, and I shook. I dropped one of my hands and let the towel fall onto my shoulder. I still dabbed my hair with my left hand while I reached for my phone with my right. I answered immediately; he blurted out, “Helena, we've got a problem”. There was no space between his words, and he spoke so fast that I couldn't hear anything other than my name and the word problem. “First of all, it's Miss Graves, and second, slow down when speaking”. “Yes, Miss Graves.” He took a br
Helena’s P.O.V“You are so jealous of Lilith; it’s sickening,” the bridesmaid said, irked, while I just stood there staring at the ground. It became increasingly impossible to contain my emotions. I had been hit multiple times, and it hadn’t even been a week. I took a minute, refusing to let them see how water welled in my eye. I sucked it up and turned to face her. “Why would I be jealous of her?” I questioned with furrowed eyebrows. “You tried to kill her,” the bridesmaid answered.I almost laughed. “Why would I waste my time doing that?” “You were the absent one when her allergy flared up. Everyone knows she’s allergic to peanuts and how she gets when she eats—”“Exactly.” I stepped forward and held her gaze. I was so sure she had something to do with it because she was so eager and insistent on playing the hero. She wanted to be recognized as the one who brought down the villain- me- but I would not give her that satisfaction. “Then where had you gone during the cake tasting?”
Helena’s P.O.V“Step aside!” I demanded, and it took his personal assistant a few minutes before she dropped her hands and stepped to the side. I reached for the doorknob and pulled it open. It was then that I understood why his personal assistant was stopping. It was quite an irritating sight; my lawyer was on his knees while his mistress sat with her unbuttoned shirt, holding onto his tie. “The fuck is going on?” I asked, to stop the craziness. Their heads shot in my direction, then they separated. Hands reached for shirts and trousers, buttoning and zipping. The mistress stood up and buttoned her shirt. She walked past me with her head lowered. “Miss Graves,” she greeted me before she got to the front door. I walked forward, then grabbed a chair and took a seat while I waited for my lawyer to collect himself. He groaned to clear his throat as he took a seat. “Miss Graves, I didn't know you'd be coming around,” he pointed out the obvious. “I didn't tell you, now did I?” I quest
