Helena stood in the room with her suitcase open in front of her. Some of her clothes seemed to be scattered on the big bed, as well as some other necessities that she had to put in the suitcase. Occasionally, she looked out the window, where the mansion's garden looked green and beautiful.“Miss Helena, what else do you need?” asked Vania, the maid who assisted Helena during her stay at the main house.“I don't know, I'm confused,” Helena chuckled in disbelief. “I haven't traveled like this in a long time.”“I'll help you and make sure you don't leave anything behind while you're abroad.”“Thank you Vania.” At least Vania's words relieved her. “Don't forget my hairdyer. In case it's not provided there, I'm too lazy to find a new hairdryer.”“Yes, Miss Helena.”Hanry entered after knocking on the door.“Papa?” Helena looked surprised not by her father's arrival but by what was in his hand. “Let me carry it. Why don't you ask the servants to bring it here?” Helena grumbled. Hanri brough

“Good evening, Mr. Hanry and Helena,” Alaric greeted in a polite tone. He was waiting for Helena and her father to come out of the hotel for dinner. As per his promise to take them to one of the recommended restaurants not far from the hotel where they were staying.“The police chief isn't as busy as I thought,” Helena said with a laugh. She thanked Alaric for his concern just before he invited her to get into the car. Her father was already inside and sitting comfortably.“I've been busy but I've put in a lot of time to entertain you. When else will you visit this place?” Alaric laughed lightly. “Or are you planning to visit again?”“I don't know yet.”“Or... you, Mr. Hanry? I feel very honored to meet you in person. Many of the things I've heard about the Edison Group being what it is today are all thanks to you.”Hanry laughed. “I haven't kept up with the Edison Group for a long time. My son is doing well, I'm just an old man waiting for my bank account to fill up with the company'

The next morning, Helena woke up feeling much lighter and calmer. In fact, if Helena were to be honest, it was one of her best mornings ever. Waking up to a window with a beautiful, serene view of the city. The air was cool and made Helena feel at home on the balcony of her room.Today Helena planned to visit a museum that exhibited some famous artworks and if she was lucky, Helena wanted to bring one of them (if it sold) for her collection or to gift a client who loved artworks. It was for the benefit of her company as well since Helena did not rule out gift-giving as a strategy to make the partnership work.“I think it's time for me to go,” Helena said as she organized her small bag. She didn't want to leave anything behind. Today her father was not accompanying her. There was an invitation to lunch with an old acquaintance and of course, they discussed some important matters. It wasn't that Helena didn't want to be involved but she wanted to make the most of her time in Switzerland

“Are you sure I don't need to accompany you?” asked Michael with a doubtful look. Today, Helena had asked to be taken to meet Vena, Michael's mother. I didn't know what they were going to talk about, but Helena didn't seem to want to share it easily. Her excuse was to personally deliver the gift she had bought in Switzerland, especially for Michael's mother.“Yes, I'm sure.” Helena smiled meaningfully. “Oh, come on. Don't give me that look.” Helena's hand just reached out and touched Michael's cheek. He immediately closed his eyes to feel the tenderness Helena was offering him. He grasped the hand tightly and gave it a few light pats.“The last time you saw my mother, you decided to take a week's vacation to Switzerland. Sounds familiar to me, doesn't it?”Helena laughed. “That's just you thinking too badly. I went on vacation with Papa, nothing bad happened and in fact... I came back with full confidence. You should be grateful that I went on vacation, right?”Michael frowned but cou

“Do you like it?”Helena could only stare at the sample ring that Vena pointed to. The twinkle on Vena's face was truly happy. She couldn't resist whatever Vena did to her this afternoon. Including dragging Helena into one of the most famous jewelry outlets.“Isn't this too much?” asked Helena as she gazed once again at the ring Vena had chosen. A diamond with an exquisite luster was set in the center. It was crafted from number one quality white gold with such precision that whoever wore it, was mesmerized. Just like Helena who couldn't take her eyes off the luster of the ring she was still trying on.“Nothing is too much if you use it, Helena.” Vena rubbed Helena's shoulder lightly. “Would you like another model?”Helena let out a long sigh. Today was definitely going to be a long day to spend with Vena. Helena hadn't forgotten the conversation that had taken place at Vena's house shortly after the woman had asked her assistant to contact some of her acquaintances.“No! We should st

“It must be really hard for you to keep up with Mommy,” Michael asked as he gently rubbed Helena's temple. They were on their way back to Helena's house after having lunch together. You can imagine how Vena dominated the conversation during the meal - especially when it came to Helena and Michael's wedding preparations.“It's not inconvenient, it's just a bit much,” Helena complained with a deep sigh. “You can hear what she's saying, can't you?”Michael laughed. “Forgive my mother for being so over the top. She's just too happy that we're finally getting married, darling.”“I know.” Helena leaned back comfortably in her passenger seat, while Michael was still giving her gentle strokes that made her feel calm. “That's why I didn't protest the many things your mother recommended. Except for the wedding dress. I wanted to customize it to my taste.”Michael smiled widely. “Whatever you want, just do it. I don't mind.”“Even if I bankrupt you just because of the wedding preparations?”Mich

“Are you sure you're coming home tonight?” asked Helena with a sad face. Tonight's banquet was a warm and friendly affair. And many things were discussed together to reach an agreement about the preparations for her marriage to Michael.Andreas' family had left 30 minutes ago, but Helena didn't realize that Wilna was also preparing to go home. Helena thought that her best friend and assistant had chosen to stay overnight and that they would have an exciting conversation about the wedding preparations.“I have to go back,” Wilna said with a big grin. “Lily just got back from New York. I don't want to miss out on all the fun she'll have when she has her event there.”“You're right.” Helena nodded in understanding. “I'm sure she has plenty of stories.”“If you need me to help you with the wedding preparations, I'm always ready to help.”Helena smiled broadly. “I know I can count on you.” She gave Wilna a warm hug. “Let me know when you get home.”“Okay.” Wilna returned the hug immediatel

“Did you have lunch with Michael?” asked Wilna, carrying some of the files Helena had corrected.“Yes.” Helena smiled broadly. “What about you?”Wilna shrugged. “I don't intend to leave the office this afternoon. I don't know, I feel so lazy.”Helena laughed. “What are you lazy about? Aren't you the one who gets excited more often because of lunch?”Wilna spluttered. “Thomas said he was coming to the office. He brought lunch.”“Ugh!” Helena smiled widely. “Do you have something to hide?”“Nothing,” Wilna replied immediately. “Aren't you used to seeing us eat lunch together anyway?”“Thomas bringing you lunch is the difference,” Helena said, snapping her fingers. “But I'm happy with how your relationship is progressing.”“I don't have any relationship with Thomas,” Wilna evaded.“I'll wait for your confession,” Helena said as she grabbed her small bag. She had made sure she had her cell phone and a few other essentials. “I'll leave first. If there's anything you want, let me know immed

“Have you made up?” asked Wilna half-jokingly. This Sunday morning Wilna was already at Helena's main mansion. Ever since Helena decided to marry Michael, the woman had returned to her main house. Apart from making the wedding preparations easier, Helena also wanted to be near her father. Keeping the middle-aged man company, making up for the time wasted taking care of things including Nakia.Helena only gave an annoyed glance. “I don't really want to be angry or ignore him.”“But?”Helena scowled. “Why should I have a best friend like you? I can't hide anything from you.”Wilna laughed with satisfaction. “So... why are you like that?”“I don't know.” Helena shrugged. “I don't like that woman. I feel like I've been transported to the day I knew Tiara.” She looked down sadly. “Temptations from third parties always come at unexpected times. Learning from that painful experience really sucks.”Wilna took a sip of her hot tea as she looked at Helena sitting in front of her with a troubled

“Wilna! Are you still in the room for long? What time is it already?”Aunt Merry's shout made Wilna, who was still struggling with her make-up and hair to make it less messy, speed up her preparations. “Yes! I'll be ready in a minute!”“You've been waiting for Thomas.”Wilna's movement in combing her hair stopped. As soon as she realized Aunt Merry's words. She accelerated her activities to get ready before leaving for the office. Wilna rushed out of her room with her hair half done, wearing a casual blouse and trousers. But her steps stopped at the dining room door when she saw Thomas sitting at the table, sipping coffee while reading the newspaper.“Mr. Thomas?!” she exclaimed, her eyes rounding. “What are you doing here so early?” It was an unusual sight for Wilna to see. How the man, who was already well-groomed in a navy suit, sat comfortably among his family.It was nothing compared to the reception of her family, especially Aunt Merry. The middle-aged woman looked so happy with
