Chapter Thirty One

Helena’s eyes were bloodshot red and it seemed like she’d been crying before now. Arms fooled under her breast, I knew there was trouble lurking behind that look but I pretended I hadn’t noticed the anger in her face.“Hey babes, you are here already. Mom’s gone. I said. I was nervous but I had to maintain a steady voice while talking to her. Maybe she didn’t hear anything, maybe she just came downstairs to check on me since I had taken so much time, I thought but I was far from the truth when the trouble finally hit me.“Do not touch”. She said and yanked her arms off my hand the moment I tried to touch her.“Babe, what’s wrong?” I

HELENA'S POV It was 6:00 o'clock already when Alex came into my room to see if it was almost set. He had on just his shirt and trousers. He was half dressed himself.

I answered.He walked slowly behind me and stood, I could see him from the mirror in front of me. I brushed my hair to one side and began to peg them with hair clips."Please hand me that hair dryer, I told him.
