CHAPTER FIFTY ONEHELENA'S POV.I could no longer bear the pain of betrayal and humiliation from Alex any more. I mean this minute we are sweet and the next a storm is raving to destroy the sweet moment we have built. I have been a victim of tragedy all my life and now that things hadn't gotten out of hand was the best time to leave. But then again I was heavily pregnant. Who was going to look after me and the baby.I quickly packed my things and dialed Gabriel's number. He was always read to help and always available."Hey Helen"."Gabriel, where are you?"At the store, a few miles from your home"."I'm not home and I want you to come pick me up."Where exactly?".Thompson's garden beach house"."Oh! Are you there with Alex?" He asked. I could feel the smile forming up in his face as he spoke."With Alex, yes! But I don't want to be with him anymore please come take me away from here before they kill me""Helena, what are you doing?" Alex asked again.She didn't mind if his voice wa

ALEXANDER'S POV.Who the hell are you?I asked. Fixing my Gaze on the man who was standing in front of us. He was about 6 feet 3 inches tall with broad shoulders and wild eyes. He had his hair brushed neatly in a ponytail behind his back. He flashed a smile abroad and said nothing, puffing out slight almost invincible smokes from his cigarette. He was dressed in black suit and pants and as he stood there dragging in every smoke the tattoo on the exposed part of his chest seemed to broaden.I turned to James in awe and surprise then back to the man who has decided to remain mute in front of us."Hey look, you are not going to walk up in my office and act like you owe this place. I said. The man chuckled and puffed out another mouth full of his cigarette smoke."You must think you are smart". He said and took a few steps forward then paused at a short distance so Jane and I could get a full view of his huge body. " I asked a question and you haven't answered," I told him." Well you wi

ALEXANDER'S POVI was so pissed and angry. After all these months of trying to seal this deal, I get shoved into a corner by some intruder who just wants to bring me down at all costs. I have not been humiliated like this in my entire life. James and I drove home in silence and when I got to his estate I asked my driver to drop him off before taking the right turn to my mother's mansion. I wanted her to explain to me what was going on. She was about to have a meal by the time I arrived. Alex, you are here? She asked. She wasn't expecting me, sure I knew that. She examined my stern and rigid face for a while. I scratched my head and took off my suit jacket then pulled out the seat directly opposite hers and sank myself hopelessly in it. "You look tense and uneasy, what is the problem? She asked casually while she tried to maintain a balance between talking to me and cutting out a chunk of her chicken. "I am not a fine mother," I said in a calm voice. At least I had to give her t

ALEXANDER'S POVMy driver quickly took the next turn leading to the large parking lot beside the hospital. I needed to digest the gist I was having with James before going to the j side so I sat in the car as the cool Air from the air conditioner hit my skin. "Soon James sent a laughing emoji after going through the DNA test result Sophia had given to me. I had the perfect plan to disgrace her out of that house if she was not careful. I don't know what games she was playing and I didn't care. All I wanted was for her and that baby to disappear into thin air and never return to my life. She is my past and that's where she will remain. After staying for a while I came out of the car and went straight to the hospital. I had this hatred for the hospital since I was a kid and I hoped Helena would be out soon so we can go ahead and live our normal lives in peace. I woke up and took the left turn into a large hallway leading to numerous rooms harboring sick people both adults and ch

HELENA'S POVIt's been two weeks since I last left the hospital after the fight between Alex and Gabriel. I wasn't bothered anymore as I have decided to help Alex fight every hidden enemy in his life and including his mother as she is bent on making things difficult. Since I was already six months gone I was not allowed to travel very long distances. I have missed my dad so much and so I spoke to Alexander about letting him stay with us for a few days since he longer has his gardening job. I took the risk of letting him into our house and prayed Isabella doesn't show up because I was ready to fight her with every drop of blood I had in me. I have been way too quiet and soft for too long. Alex had assured me that this was my house as well and as long as I remained his wife this was my territory to keep. At least for some weeks, there hasn't been any occasion of threats and car chases. I would have had a little peace if not for that Sophia lady that keeps coming here every other day t
