Chapter 2

Charles's POV

I came to an halt in front of the police station and stepped out of the car.

"Hey get out," I said and she stared at me as I opened the door

"Why did you bring me here?" She asked getting out of the car.

"You're asking me that?"

"Yes I am."

"Well, I'm here to file a report against you for assault and trickery."

"Assault you?" She said and chuckled. "When did I?"

"Oh! It seems you've forgotten. What happened when you met me at the mall? You slapped me and  that's assault."

"Hey that's defense okay. So when did I trick you?"

"A moment ago. You tried to trick me into freeing you from the debts you acclaimed from that old man; and that too, using God."

"Hey I didn't do that okay!"

"Whatever, follow me!" I said, grabbed her wrist and turned around only to see a police man standing in front of us.

"What are you guys doing? This is a police station not a place for quarrelling. 

"Actually I'm here to file a report against her for assault and trickery," I said.

"Don't mind him sir. It's nothing much," she snapped in quickly.

"Oh! She said it's nothing much so I think we can settle this dispute right here," the police officer said. "What happened man?" He asked me.

"Well, it's way much more than she meant," I said and I narrated all that happened to him.

"Sir, I really don't have money with me, but I can pay with another way."

"Really?" The police officer asked staring at her from head to toe.

"Oh! I don't mean that," she cut in understanding what his stare meant.

"I got a way," I interrupted.

"And what is it?" The police officer asked.

"The only way she can clear her debts is..." I paused and glanced at her. "If she can be my cook for a month. I'll take her service for my payment."

"What!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah. Or else I'll file a report and get that old man trashed by my bouncers for the damage he caused or better still file a case against him. And.."

"Fine I'll do it!" She yelled interrupting me.

"Okay. But still it comes with a condition, which is, that in that period of a month as my cook, you gotta live in my house."

"Yeah I got that okay!"

"Nice, so it's settled. You better keep your promise dear," the police officer told her and went back in to the station.

"You heard him right. Better keep to your word," I said and she sneered.

"So, you're coming with me now!" I said and attempted to grab her arm but she flinched.

"I got you okay!  Don't touch me or I'm gonna file a case against you for abuse!" She yelled and went into the car.

"As you wish!" I said and smirked. "She's going to hell now," I muttered to myself as I got into the car and drove off. At last I'm gonna get my revenge on her.

Helena's POV

I was puzzled and spellbounded when I got to the jerk's house. It was a beautiful and well designed mansion. The pillars and walls were made of marbled and galands were tied to them. The compound was decorated with different kinds of flowers as if it was a flowerist's shop. The garden area was tidy and very neat. It looked like a President's house (though I wasn't sure it was and still, I've never read a magazine about him being identified as the  President's son) and it looked magnificent. I was still staring at the building through the windscreen and the side view mirror when he opened the door and he snapped his fingers to my face jolting me back to reality.

"Daydreaming huh?"he teased."get down."he ordered and I got down of the car ignoring him then he started leading into the house. He suddenly turned around and stared me for a while then asked."your momma calls you what?"

"My name is Helena Boucher..."

"The name sucks but suits a deranged girl like you"he cursed then turn around and kept walking. I clenched my fist, controlling my urge to punch him then I started walking fast to keep up with him.

When I got into the house,I stared at every corner of the living room . It was really an heaven on Earth.Never in my wildest dream have I ever thought of coming to a house like this let alone spending a whole month in this house but still it isn't worth staying for I know this jerk won't let me stay in peace.

 "Tina, Julie, Bella and Claire!"he hollered and immediately the girls in uniform came to him after replying'yes Boss'. I assumed they were the maidservants.

"She will be the new cook..."

"Why employ a new cook son?"an old woman interrupted emerging from the kitchen as I presumed.

"Oh Nanny Rita,"he called as he placed his arm round her shoulder."I wanted to release you of the stress.so she will do the cooking."He said sneering at me.

   Charles's POV

I was so happy when I said this and she glared at me. I could see her intensified hate for me in her eyes and that gave me joy.

"So get her to start.And yes... please sew her uniform.."

"I don't need that"she snapped.

 "You would be working here miss so you have to put on a uniform..just like the other girls.so follow me and I will get you measured."Nanny Rita said.

 "Aaargh!I am not an officially worker here..."

"But,"I  paused as i came closer to her."you still gotta pay your debt and by so doing follow the rules here.got me?"

"Yes"she said with a faint voice.

"Am leaving now Nanny,back to the office.so get my dinner prepare before I get back and don't show her her room,I will do that"I said and stumped out.
