Blake's POV My eyes shot red hot as I walked down the stairs heading to them. When my housekeeper stormed into my office to tell me Helen's mom was a nuisance, I didn't believe her. It was one thing for the Davies to try to use their most beautiful daughter to control me, and it was completely another to come into my home and start a fight. I wasn't letting that happen and when I heard their agitated voices, I knew it was time for me to come down here and put an end to this. "Oh, Blake. Thank God you are here. Your wife is such a clumsy fool and I must deal with her before she does something silly that can ruin your reputation along with ours." Mrs. Davies smiled brightly at me, taking on an almost innocent stance. I immediately picked up the pretense in her actions and I was grossly disgusted by her. "Really? What has she done and why are you hurting her in my home?" I demanded as I walked over to Helen and placed a protective arm around her. "Well, you see, Helen here is an u
Blake's POV It wasn't going to cost me a thing to use Helen until I found my sexual satisfaction in her, but I didn't want to give her the conviction that she could control me. Her body easily turned me on and knowing women, it was easy for her to weaponize her body. She was already trying to achieve that with me and the only reason she was unsuccessful was because I wasn't giving her so much attention. "Boss, where do you want me to take you to?" Mr driver appeared out of nowhere and asked me as I assessed the best nondescript car to take out. I didn't want much attention, and a regular-looking car was the best way to keep myself sane. I shot the bastard with a heavy glare and he took a step back. "Hand me my keys now. You can take the day off." I hissed and yanked my keys out of his hand. "Yes, boss." He answered and moved away. "Hey," I called out and he paused."If any of my security detail asks you about me, you don't know anything." He was shocked for a second and nodde
Blake's POV My body was jerked back into consciousness with a heavy splash of water. I blinked my eyes numerous times as the water rolled down my face and into my eyes, making it super hard for me to see and make sense of where I was.I tried to move, but my legs and hands were bound to the chair I was seated on.Was this a kidnap? Who was foolish enough to kidnap me? "Where am I?" I called out as I jerked harshly at my binds, eager to free myself from them."You really should stop tugging hard at them. You are only going to end up hurting yourself, and I don't want that for you." A familiar voice hissed at me. I blinked rapidly and my vision cleared out rapidly. The same bulky man who had earlier knocked me unconscious was standing before me. He had an evil smirk on his face and I could tell he was enjoying this well. "Who are you and what do you want? If you think kidnapping me will make you rich, you are wrong. Sooner or later, my security detail would find out that I am gone a
Helen's POV I dabbed some healing balm on the bruises I had sustained during the fight with my mom. The joy I had experienced watching Blake defend me was now fully replaced by a grime feeling. He had not defended me because of love. It was all an act to him and I wondered what was true and real to him. I didn't know what he felt towards me. Was it love or hate? Well, I was never really going to know. "Just endure all of this for the main time, Helen. All of this will be over soon." I encouraged myself and closed shut the balm container. Blake was yet to come home and I convinced myself not to be worried. He was mad at me for reasons best known to him. He could be anywhere and with his level of wealth, he would always be safe.I had just laid my head on my pillow, ready to retire for the night when a knock on my door jerked me upright. My heart jumped up my throat as I wondered when Blake had arrived home and what he was looking for in my bedroom. The few times he had come to my
Helen's POV "So what if Miss DuPont is living in his old apartment? There is no way that woman can hurt him. She is very petite." Blake's dad said and I almost rolled my eyes at him. There were a lot of ways things could go wrong with their meeting. She was mad at him when he threw her out of the office and I had strong reasons to believe that she must have done something to get back at him."Sir, this little piece of information means a lot. This could be the breakthrough in this case. He could be with her for all we know. If he isn't with her, we can at least question her to know what he was doing there." Jeffery explained. Mr. Robinson didn't look pleased with that explanation and I wondered why. He ought to be grateful that we were making headway in this case. Skylar may not look dangerous on the surface, but I have been around evil people long enough to know one couldn't judge evil people by their appearance alone. Her threats to me the day I took over her position danced in
Helen’s POV“Where the hell are you all going?” Skylar complained as we filed into her house.“Mr. Robinson, please talk to me, what is this all about?” She turned to Blake’s father, but he ignored her.“Can someone please talk to me?” She asked, but I ignored her."Miss Skylar, you need to calm down. We are just here to ask you a few questions, nothing else. Just cooperate with us, and we will be out of here soon.” Jeffrey calmed her down.Her eyes darted at everyone in the room, but they rested on me for a minute longer. Her look at me was heated and almost devilish, but I maintained my cool and sat down, refusing to let her get me angry.“Fine. I just hope this fool here hasn't done anything to harm my Blake.” She hissed and plopped down to one of the empty chairs.Everyone stared at me accusingly and I swallowed hard, doing my best to keep my emotions in check. There was no way I was letting her raise a reaction from me. I was more than that and I was interested in showing that fa
Helen’s POV“Did you hear that?” I asked the guard who had come out with me.“Ermm, yeah. I heard something but I think it was too mute for me to make sense of what it was.” He concurred.Without wasting a second, I stormed back into the apartment, startling everyone in the room.“What the hell is wrong with you, Helen? You scared everyone.” Mr. Robinson Snr complained after he saw it was just me.“I heard a thud and a small call for help from the apartment beside this one. I think we should go in and check it out.” I said.Jeffrey looked past me and at the guard who had been with me. “Is that true, Phil?”“Yes, boss. I can not make sense of what was said, but we did hear something.” He concurred.“Oh my God. You are just too dramatic Helen. No wonder Blake hates you so much and thinks you are dramatic. That must just have been my neighbors at it with their drama once again. You do not have to worry yourself with them.” Skylar hissed in annoyance.Everyone, including me, stared at her
Helen’s POV“It could have been rats, okay. Look I haven’t been here for a very long time. There is no way I can know what the hell goes on here all the time. Cut me some slack please.” Skylar hissed and stepped out of the empty apartment. There was something off and suspicious about the way she was behaving. She wasn’t telling us everything and I needed to force it out of her. “Alright, this is a dead end. But if he is on this floor, then he is in one of these apartments. We just have to search hard.” Jeffrey said and with a flick of his hand, the members of his team filed out of the apartment. “I have to ask you three to wait in Mr. Blake’s old apartment while my team and I handle this search.” Jeffrey faced Mr. Robinson Snr, Skylar, and I. “No. I must be a part of the search for my son. Moreover, I can not stand the bickering of these ladies. They might talk my head off before you find my son and I can’t afford that.” The old man hissed, eyeing Skylar and I. “Fine. Come with u
Blake's POV I walked into the garden area of Helen's parents' home. The last time I was here was when I had come to get married to Isabella. Who would have thought that day would turn out to be so dramatic and that I would get the absolute love of my life on that same day? Well, I was accepting the fact that some miracles were unplanned, and Helen was a beautiful unplanned miracle in my life. Mr. Davies was waiting for me, seated at a large table with fruit baskets on it. I could tell he was having breakfast here and with the array of beautiful fruits I saw arranged here, I didn't mind joining in. Hopefully, with the prospect I was coming here with, I didn't doubt he would be inviting me to breakfast. Even the hardest of men fell to my charms and offers. "Good morning, Mr. Robinson. It is so nice to have you here." He greeted me warmly as he got off his chair and offered me one beside him."Good morning, Mr. Davies. Your bubbly spirit is so contagious this morning. I like that. W
Isabella's POV I walked into the penthouse with a scowl etched on my face. Blake had just managed to outsmart me and I felt so foolish. How could I have allowed him to outsmart me in that manner? I was supposed to be at the top of this game and calling the shots, but instead, I had to foolishly spill out truths to him and now, he had a recording to use against me. "Welcome back, ma'am. Can I take your bag?" The housekeeper asked as she bowed before me. I shot daggers at her, refusing to allow her as much as touch me. "I am so sorry ma'am." She said and stepped away from me.My blood was boiling and my mind was raging. I needed someone, anyone, to pour out my anger on, and maybe she was the perfect culprit. After all, she had handed Helen her handbag this morning. She was the reason Helen had been able to leave the house without me hurting her as much as I wanted. "What the hell is your name?" I faced her with a grim look on my face. She faced me and smiled lightly. "I am Felicia
Helen's POV I watched my father-in-law walk out of Blake's office with a glare in his eyes. If looks could inflict bodily harm, then he would have scalded my skin with the intensity of his gaze."I see that you have my son wrapped around your thumb like a piece of toy. Don't worry, huh? I would deal with you at the right time and you would not have any power over him." The man sneered at me. I stared at the man wondering what he was talking about. I hadn't done anything wrong, especially not with Blake. Isabella was the only reason Blake and I seemed to be at loggerheads, but now, he had found a solution to her and she was leaving. "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about. Do you mind explaining what I may have done wrong?" I asked the man, but all he managed to give me was a hard painful glare. "I am not explaining anything to you. You are an agent of the devil and I will not stop until I save my son from your grasp." He hissed and walked away, leaving me all dazed and confu
Blake's POV We were neck-deep in our kissing when my office door swung open. Thinking it was one of my employees, I didn't bother to raise my head or acknowledge their presence. Everyone knew not to disturb me in my office and while I was having fun with my wife."What the hell is going on here, Blake?" My dad's voice boomed in the office, causing me to jump away from Helen.I raised my head to see him standing a few meters away from us with a deadly glare in his eyes. "Good... Good..." Helen stammered to my dad as she hid behind me.I felt the shame oozing from her and felt responsible for it. If I had listened to her advice for us not to make love in my office, none of this would have been happening. "Just shut up and don't say any more words, please." Dad eyed her callously, as though she was a piece of dirt."Good morning, Dad. Why are you here?" I asked my dad as I placed a protective arm around my wife.Helen raised her head to glance at me, but I kept my gaze on my dad. I w
Blake's POV "And what makes you think I can not just go out and debunk all of your lies?" I asked her, hoping to get more out of her. "Come on baby. Even if you go out to debunk my lies, no one will believe you. The best way you can protect your back is to do everything I ask you to." She hissed and sat upright from my table, clearly tired from all our talking. I could see that she was more interested in having sexual fun than in talking about this. Well, I had all the details I needed, so there was nothing to worry myself about. "Unfortunately for you, Isabella, I can prove to the world just how much of a terrible snake you are, and you helped me to achieve this," I smirked at her."What are you talking about?" She raised a brow at me with a playful smile dancing at the corners of her lips."Well, because you forgot that there is something called a sound recorder and most phones have it." I brought out my phone from my pocket and waved it at her. Her face went ashen on seeing t
Blake's POV I sat at my office desk drumming my fingers nervously on my desk. Helen's push played relentlessly in my head, almost driving me crazy. How the hell had I allowed things to go south between us? Was it really just Isabella, or did she have something against me, something she didn't want to talk about? I was still lost in thoughts when my office door swung open. "I am not in the mood for your apology. Kindly just give me some space." I hissed without raising my head to look at the door. "Who made you angry baby?" A different voice from Helen's answered me, and my eyes snapped up to see Isabella sashaying her way over to me. "What are you doing here?" I asked in surprise. "Can't I come over and see my baby? Moreover, why are you in such a foul mood? I recall you being super excited before leaving the house. Is it that foolish sister of mine? I would have her dealt with this instant." She hissed and tried to storm out of my office, but I caught her hand just in time an
Helen's POV I arrived at the office and immediately let out a tired sigh and I dropped my bag on the table.Despite all my pet talk to myself so I wouldn't get mad and angry, I was still vibrating from the exchange with Isabella. Her negative energy was affecting me badly and I just didn't know what to do. If things continue this way, I might be forced to leave Blake's home without his permission. He had a lot of houses and I was sure he would have no problem with letting me stay at any of his free houses."Hello, honey. I am so sorry I had to run. Your sister was grating at my nerves." Blake dropped a wet kiss on my cheek, and I flinched away from his touch. "What's wrong?" He asked, noticing the foul look on my face. "It's nothing," I mumbled and brought out my laptop.Work was the only thing I could think about right now. It was the only way I could keep my mind away from all the negative thoughts my sister had put in my head. "Nope, this can not be nothing. You are hurt by so
Helen's POV "What is making you look all surprised?" Isabella asked as she resumed eating. I stared at my sister and my hand tightened around the edge of the table. How could one person be a truck of destruction? She held so much negativity in her that it affected everyone around her. "Nothing." I hissed and dished out some bacon and eggs from the large bowl."And who said you can eat on this table?" She hissed at me. I stared at her in shock, wondering where else she was expecting me to eat. Blake may have agreed to let her stay in this house, but it didn't mean that she had the right to treat us however she wanted to. "Isabella, this is a dining table, and I am well within my rights to eat my breakfast here. Now, this is a beautiful morning and I would not like for us to ruin it by getting into a fight.”“So please, allow me to eat in peace." I said to her and immediately dug into my food. Unfortunately, I never got to take a bite of it as Isabella pushed my plate away from th
Helen's POV I lay beside him with a satisfied smile on my face. It had been many blissful rounds of lovemaking, and I felt whole and sated. Things may not have gone the way I had wanted, but his lovemaking had brightened my night. "Would we have to keep on doing this whenever we need to make love?" I asked, trying to figure out how to navigate the new dynamics Isabella's presence had created. "I don't want us creeping around as though we are criminals. You are my legally wedded wife, and I can make love to you as much as I desire. But your sister is one hell of a crazy bitch." He hissed. "I am so sorry about her," I said."Hey, you don't have to be sorry. Your sister being silly and crazy is no fault of yours. I can just imagine how terrible my life would have been if I had married her. Gosh, it would be hell." He sighed dramatically.A small smile lined the corners of my lips. I wasn't the only one who was frustrated by my sister's presence and it made me feel a bit better to see
