Helena's POV
Early the next morning,I had a dream. In my dream I saw my late father and brother in a dark room and my father was asking me to go away and take care of my sisters and mother. I woke up,bathed in perspiration. I held my locket before dragging my feets out of my room to the bathroom. I prepared for the day and went into The kitchen to prepare breakfast.
"Oh,oh," Massie said as she walked into the dining room, seeing me setting the meal on the dining table. "You're awake quite early..""It's past 7am Massie,"I said glancing at my wristwatch. "Oh yeah...you know I thought someone was raiding our kitchen when I was in my room but then I thought and hoped you were the one... making breakfast..""Well..that's what I did..""Hm, ""C'mon sit.. let's have breakfast." Massie sat opposite me and we prayed before digging in to the meal."You're cooking skills seems to be getting great Everytime..." Oh,Davis' POVA week later;I was in my room accessing some new brought by our company's manager Cole when mum walked in."Mum...""Son you have been busy since this morning..""All thanks to your husband.. i have been damn busy ever since he came back from Italy..""You know it's your fault. If you hadn't slacked in the past few weeks all this wouldn't have happened. You forgot that you are the CEO of the great Hurley Delight Designs. This is nothing compared to much work you will do when your father retires and put the company in your name... He's just preparing you for the future..""I doubt... He's just using me nowadays to get deals.. from top modelling companies.""No son.. your father isn't using you...""Nop. he's made my life hard..""It's because he found out that you were not paying attention to the company and you left home when he travelled... Now in order to punish you he's
Davis's POV I was racing after the car and I got a glimpse of the driver whose face was covered with a mask. I put my right hand through the small window winded down to take off the mask and see the face of the driver when the car swerved and I fell to the ground with my bike taking along a golden pendant and a half broken chain with the letter K on it. I got on my bike and zom6med off to the house back. I walked into the house after I parked my bike in the garage. I hollered Kimberly's name as I got inside and I rushed to her room and saw her polishing her nails."Hi brother... Look at my nails..""Why did you do that?" I said as I gripped her shoulders standing her up. "How dare you attempt to kill Helena!" I yelled and my mother and father rushed in."What's going on dear?" My mother asked softly as I railed my fingers down my head."Speak now...""I didn't do it O
Massie's POV It was 8:15 am when I walked into City Choice hospital and I walked to the receptionist. I inquired about Charles' ward and she directed me. I walked into the ward and saw Helena sleeping beside Charles with her head on the stead."Helena... Helena,"I called softly and tapped her on the shoulder and she woke up. "Come outside," I beckoned to her and we both left the ward."How is he?""Still unconscious Massie. He was shot right through the chest.""Don't worry, he will be OK...""I hope so," Helena said with a worried look."Go home and freshen up..""No. The doctor said he will regain consciousness this morning and I know he will. I want to see him regain consciousness before I go..""Hey girl.. Don't expect him to wake up and see you in this state..""What do you mean..?""Because right now... You stink," I said and she scowled."Just go freshen up and come ba
Helena's POV"What's wrong?" I asked Davis as I rushed into ward."Do you know..?" He rushed out of the room and took out his phone and put a call through someone before I could finish my statements."Mum.. Kimberly had an accident! Get to Rochester, she is admitted into City Choice Hospital. Come quick," he said and hung up as he walked back in."Davis do you know her.. She..""She is my sister.. My younger sister Kimberly," he dropped the bombshell and I just stared at her wide eyed. Davis' POVI knew Helena was shocked after I told her that. I hid the truth from her unintentionally that I had a sister and it was Kimberley and that she was also the one driving the car that almost took her down."Huh..." I cleared my throat. "Excuse me," I said and went out of the ward again. Twenty mins later, my mom and dad rushed in to the hospital,led
Helena's POV It was 8 am the next day when I walked into Charles's ward and chuckled seeing Nanny Rita"Nanny!" I huffed as I walked up to Nanny Rita who gave me a broad smile and a warm hug."Nanny it's...""Thank you dear for saving my Charles' life..!""Huh.. He was the one who saved me," I muttered and Charles scoffed."Who saved whom..? I saved her Nanny!"Charles booasted."Huh... Must you blabber all the time?" I asked and he gave me a wide look."OK... You saved me..""Better!" Charles said. I glanced at my phone and sighed."I have to leave now..""You just came silly.. Why want to leave all of a sudden?" Charles said almost yelling."Nanny is here... I want to go take permission from my manager... And I will be back in few hours and moreover... Nanny and you need catch up..""Pfff... Catch up? Did I go to another country for a year? You talk as if it's our first time seeing each other since a year.."
Charles POVI stared at Helena for a while before grinning like a fool."I hate to admit it," I said and stared at her from head to toe."but ,you alwayslook pretty "she blushed. She looked at me from head to toe and chuckled."You don't look bad either. The hospital clothes you perfectly," she said and burst into laughter and I sneered.Oh shit! I came out in this hospital clothes. I was worried because of Helena. I didn't even realise I was clad in this dim- coloured hospital clothes. I stared at Helena who was laughing hysterically. I couldn't help but feel ashamed."OK... I will stop it now," she said and her laughter ceased. "So now...?""Let's start dating Helena..""What?!""Yes... Let's start now..""Charles...!""What? I can't wait... I'm impatient... Let's go out now..""In this outfit of yours...?""I'm less concerned about that... You look all dolled up, so what's the big deal w
Helena's POV A week later, Charles had fully recovered. I stayed at his place to keep him company after he was released from the hospital. Due to my off and on presence at the café, I got sacked by the manager but still I cared less about that. All that mattered to me was Charles' health. After he recovered, we both went on multiple dates, we visited different places in the city and hung out in parks and cinemas. It was really fun to be with Charles. I felt so special with him around. After spending two weeks with him I decided to go home. He didn't want me to but finally gave in to my request after I promised to see him sooner again. He decided to drop me home but I insisted he dropped me off at the bus station. He did and we bid each other goodbye after a tight warm hug. I smiled as I watched him enter his car and drive off. I went ahead and got a ticket for a bus to Rochester. It was exactly
Davis's POV I was hanging out in a bar at night after work. It got noisy all of a sudden and I took a bottle and went up to the rooftop, fortunately for me no one was there so I leaned on the railing,staring up at the stars in the sky as I sip from my bottle."Hey.. look whose here.,"I heard a familiar voice and I look above my shoulder to see Charles walking up to me with a bottle of drink at his right hand. I chuckled and wondered what he was doing here."Am chilling..""At my spot light?""Well I never knew you bought this place..or maybe booked it tonight for you and your girl to hang out.""Well..I would but you know Helena won't come here..""How's she doing?""With me,she's the happiest woman ever."Charles said as he sipped from his bottle staring at me."You're trying to get me jealous,"I joked and we both laughed."Am an empty man now..lost a friend""Well.. I was in your place befo
