CHAPTER 33

HELEN

Maybe my head has been submerged in whatever for too long, or maybe the muffled sounds I heard were of someone else in the bathroom who was trying to say something to me.

I raised my head above water level and waited a few seconds until my eyes and heartbeat adjusted to normal, and then I saw the matron standing over me and looking at me with a queer look that said more than words could tell.

‘Urrhm, good morning?’ I said, and it sounded more like a question.

‘There is someone downstairs to see you,’ she said and turned to leave, but I still had questions I needed to be answered.

‘Me?’ I asked and waited for her to turn her back. ‘Who?’ I added quickly before her neck turned to face me.

But she didn’t say anything. She merely just gave me a, I-guess-you-are-not-especting-me-to-answer-that look and walked away.

‘Fuck’ I said aloud to myself and got off the tub.

I was as surprised and curious as I was worried.

Someone is here to see me?

I hope to God that it’s not Lucio

    HELEN‘Don’t you dare do anything stupid,’ He warned me, just some minutes before Alex walked in, and with one of his men following closely behind.He was getting out of his coat when he noticed the man standing beside me and paused in his action. He looked at me with curiosity and concern in his eyes before staring back at Parker.‘Hey, seemed like you got a visitor today. I didn’t know about that’ He finally said as he pulled the last sleeve of the coat from his left hand and handed it to the man standing beside him. Then slowly walked towards us, waiting for one of us to explain what was going on.To my surprise, Parker walked towards him with an extended hand and a smile on his face like a businessman trying to close a deal.‘It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Chief. I am Parker, and I have heard so much about you.Alex looked at me again, and when I said nothing, he took Parker’s hands in his and they shook hands like old buddies.‘It’s unfortunate, I have never heard anything

  • VENGEFUL HEARTS   LETTING HER GO...

    CHAPTER 32LUCIOAll through the ride home, I was dreading the myriad of questions Parker was going to have waiting for me while he sat in my study or even stood by the door, waiting for me by the time I got back home.But to my surprise, he was nowhere in sight as I trudged into the house and to my room.I had left earlier with so much annoyance and had hoped I would at least get something done.But I only just realized that I had made a very stupid mistake, as Parker had foreseen in sending her away.I looked around my room for anything worthwhile, for anything at all that made sense, but it was just my bed and a closet filled with suits and shoes. Apart from that, my life was empty, and unlike my father, I was going to die with no glory and no honour.I reached for the closest thing to my arm - the bottle of cognac by my dresser - and flung it as hard as my anger could carry against the wall above my bed, and listened to it shatter like the pain in my heart.I wasn’t even sure what

  • VENGEFUL HEARTS   I AM NOTHING LIKE HER!!!

    CHAPTER 31HELENWhy is he not here yet?What is going on out there? I kept asking myself as I shot up from the bed and paced the room again like a lunatic.I was losing my mind. Fear and anxiety was crippling my mind and I wished there was something I could do.It had been a while since I heard the noise from downstairs, and it had been exactly three long hours since I had walked out on both men. I had been waiting since then for that gentle knock on the door that would decide my fate.I wanted to be mad at him for keeping something like that from me. For treating me so right, even when I was just a gift bait for a business exchange. But it felt like he had made up for all the wrong, and it was not like I had any other choice.I looked through the window of my room towards the darkening garden, and I wondered for the umpteenth time if I should try my luck and run off. I might be really lucky now since every employee in the house whom I have met treats me with as much respect as their

  • VENGEFUL HEARTS   SHE IS COMING BACK WITH ME!

    HELEN‘Come on, you say it like I had a choice and chose to play it rough with the young man’ I said and laughed as I recalled the look on the waiter’s face when I gave him a piece of his cake after insinuating that I was one of those girls that love to frolic with older men for their money.‘I am sure he learned well not to joke with a diva,’ he replied, and I laughed heartily at his comment, not wanting to bury myself in the true meaning of what he meant.I stacked the cards and pushed them in front of him to shuffle, smiling mischievously as I watched him expertly shuffle the cards like a pro in a casino. I watched as the card followed his hands like the invisible thread that controls the puppet, wondering how none of it fell off while his hand was suspended in the air and the cards rained down from it.‘You are a brilliant lady, Helen, and you learn real fast. I wish I had known that before I challenged you’ he said with a playful smile on his face.‘Well, I am sure there is a lot

  • VENGEFUL HEARTS   CRUMBLING EMPIRE...

    LUCIOIt was hard to still look at my men the same way after what Parker told me the previous night.I looked at each person, wondering who was brave enough to dare think about taking me down, or which of them was working with an outside ally to bring me to my knees.I kept wondering if it would be Carlos. But I doubted that he would ruin years of servitude and loyalty over a mere woman.But I still couldn’t get the thought of him out of my head.The morning had brought some relief to my legs after I called in the family doctor, who checked it out and had me take some drugs and do some physiotherapy, but I still couldn’t walk around too much until I was well fit again.I just had to find a way to keep that away from everyone.‘The Lords want to meet, and soon’The abruptness of the message had scared the shit out of me, especially since my mind was far withdrawn from all reality, and it made me wonder why I was still accommodating the bastard anyway.‘I used to believe that at least o
