Fernando’s POV "Where are you right now?" I asked as I shrugged my jacket on before slipping my feet into a pair of slides.I was working on an important document when Helen's call came in.She sounded so mad and vulnerable at the same time, and her tear-stricken voice broke me into pieces."I hate them so much. You were right about him, Fernando. You were right about him. He's a fucking manwhore and I hope he gets an incurable infection one day. I really shouldn't have agreed to date him. I brought this upon myself the moment I started dating him. He's such a terrible person. But y-""Hey, hey," I said gently as I climbed into my car. "Take a deep breath and relax, okay?""I-I can't," She hiccuped, and my already-broken heart dissolved into powder."Please try to do it for me, baby," I was so worried that I didn't realize that the pet name had slipped out."O-Okay, here I go," She gritted out as her breathing gradually steadied into a soft rhythm."Are you good now?" "Yes, thank yo

Helen’s POV I gazed at my reflection in the mirror with a wide grin mauling my lips as I thought about yesterday.Fernando and I had fucked throughout the evening till dawn.In one instance, he had even held me up against the wall with my limbs tucked into a door strap while he pounded my pussy hard and heavy.Gosh, just thinking about it almost had me frothing lustfully at the mouth.I wanted a rerun of last night's wild sexcapades.The dick was so good that I temporarily forgot all about Lucy and Lucas.It was only when I came back to my place this morning and stepped into the bathroom that the horrifying images of them fucking had slipped into my mind.The blazing hatred that I felt toward Lucy had dimmed to a dull ache in my chest, and as for Lucas, I still felt nothing toward him.I had also blocked Lucy's number after waking up to two hundred missed calls from her.Her negativity and betrayal wasn't needed in my life."Okay, let's stop thinking about them," I muttered to myself

Helen’s POV "This atmosphere is quite refreshing," I sighed, running my hands through my hair which had been cut into a shoulder length bob. Two days ago I had spontaneously decided to visit the salon and get a haircut, simply because I felt like it.I had also dyed my hair into an onyx color."Yeah, both you being here makes it even more refreshing for me." Fernando threw me a smile before he bit into his hamburger.We were currently out on a picnic date at a park, with many families sitting around us on blankets.The atmosphere was really lively and filled with pleasant aura.The last time I went on a picnic date was with Lucy and Ethan for Lucy's birthday.Gosh, thinking about still made me livid with anger, but to an extent.Although a tiny part of me badly wanted to forgive her and settle things, thinking about how she had told me that I was trying to ruin our friendship irked me even more.Lucy was nothing but a fucking snake who felt that she was right.She was a horrible per

Helen’s POV "The camelia-scented candles are my bestsellers," Jasmine, a friend and the owner of the candle shop that I was currently in boasted. "They sell out immediately I restock them. They are simply wonderful.""Yeah," I acquiesced. "My son loves it. On nights when he's too tired but doesn't want to sleep, I just light one of the candles and he falls asleep almost instantly. They are really good."Earlier today, Fernando told me that his secretary at the headquarters resigned some days ago, and without thinking, I told him that I wanted to replace her.He had just darted me a look before shaking his head, clearly not taking me serious before heading back to his office.I had decided that I would tell him that I was being serious when I got home later."That reminds me, it's been a while since I last saw Lucy. Has she left the country?" Jasmine asked, as she wrapped my order, which consisted of two camelia and five dahlia scented candlesticks.I stiffened at her question, but th

Helen’s POV "Miss Helen?" Lilian, the head maid of Fernando's household called as she stepped into the living room.My annoyed expression instantly transformed into that of elation tinged with surprise."Oh my goodness, Lilian! How have you been?" I gasped as I wrapped the elder woman in a hug."It's been so long, ma'am and I've been doing well," Lilian uttered, when I finally released her. "You look even prettier now, ma'am.""Oh, please. Don't flatter me." I muttered, and motioned toward Ethan whose face was shyly buried in Fernando's chest. "That's Ethan, my son."Her eyes widened into orbits as she stared at him. "You were pregnant back then.""Yeah, but I didn't find out until after I left the country. You know what, it's a really long story and we still have more than enough time to catch up, so I'll tell you then." I uttered, to which she nodded in understanding."Alright, ma'am. I'm really happy to see you again. You're welcome back home and Ethan's a really cute child.""Tha
