AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Thirty Eight
HELENA’S POVThe day of the award has finally arrived. I had mixed feelings about the whole but deep down I was sure that everything was going to be alright no matter how complicated everything would be. Today Alex and I were already in love. At least he would not give me that disdainful look when we are out together as a couple. To us whatever will do tonight would be an act of love but to Alexander’s mom it would be a mere act of pretense and public display of affection. I was grateful to God for giving me such a privilege and opportunity to carry the child of a young multi millionaire. We have finally been discharged from the hospital and I was thankful. Alex wouldn’t let me do anything since the doctor advised him that I should eat as much as I eat. I have not had much appetite for the past couple of days and so he had added a few drugs that would boost my appetite. “Why do you treat me like a baby?” I asked himYou are my baby, that’s why he said with no expression on his face.

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. While I tried to arrange my hair in a sweet style since I couldn't go out to get it fixed."You're almost done?"Yeah! 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. He turned to his side, his eyes landing on the dryer which I had carefully placed on the corner of the bed. He picked it up and handed it to me."I'm almost ready, I told him.Okay, let me grab my jacket then" he said and tapped my shoulder twice. I continued with what I was doing. I also needed a little makeover. It wouldn't take me time to fix something up on my face so I pulled out my little version of a makeup kit and began to apply the kits on my face. Before Alex returned back to the room I

AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Forty One
HELENA'S POVBeing in a place we're you aren't wanted or needed is a different level of humiliation. I knew Alexander's mom would want to fight back the moment she finds out I am the person who had exposed her secrets to her son.

Now she is willing to fight her son for taking a different turn from what she had planned. The only reason I am still here is the love I have grown for Alexander over the last couple of months. I had to tell my dad everything that has happened in the past weeks. I felt guilty for not letting him know all along. Alexander has fulfilled his part by confronting his mother and letting her know about our relationship and the pregnancy. Even though she is in total disapproval at this point. Nevertheless if things turn out sour I would just leave a different area with my child. Out of the reach of anyone including my father.

AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Forty Three
ALEXANDER'S POV.In summer the day starts early. Moreover, in the mid year it's not excessively testing to try and contemplate advancing up beyond timetable to participate in the dawn. At first the sky becomes white, then a red dawn flares on it, birds begin to quaver in the foliage of trees. The sky is at this point pale, and not yet blue, as in the day. Then a significant red sun begins to slither out from behind the horizon. It rises quickly. Likewise, the higher it rises, the more unassuming it becomes in size. Besides, the sky light blue before our eyes, it turns out to be more wonderful, blue, warming up with the sun's bars. It's getting light as in the day, and simultaneously it's exceptional. The morning air is clear, great and new. People and vehicles have not yet sorted out some way to get dust. Likewise, the street is new, there is no early evening force and dullness. If at the present time you go out into the street, at first you are not used to shivering you will shiver,
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Forty Four
HELENA'S POV. Since the last time Alexander's mom came haunting her son in his house I haven't seen or heard from her. I was at peace and blessed my God for having to sleep peacefully without the fear of being bagged on by a woman who loves to manipulate and control other people. Even though Alex and I had our own share of a little misunderstanding we didn't mind sharing the same space after all that's what lovers do; forgive, right?. It was a hot Friday afternoon and Maggie wasn't coming for the weekend. She had taken her off for.the week as usual. Alexander had told me he would return home before I could get my little fingers to do anything around the house. I believed him because I was lazy as hell and needed some rest myself. Alexander's love has turned me into a really lazy woman and each time I complained about it he would say I am the queen of his heart and queens are created to be pampered. I can tell you mine is excess. I remember on one of the nights I had complained of ac
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Forty Five
ALEXANDER'S POVFrustrations are unavoidable, and the way that we adapt to them is in many cases an extremely important occasion in our lives. I never for one day imagined that Helena would do this to me. My mom had called me that there was an emergency at home. I should hurry. She didn't tell me why even after I asked. With fear I asked my driver to speed up so I could reach home on time. I was panicking, scared and didn't want anyone to be hurt. My mind raced through a lot of things I couldn't place but never thought about having another man on my bed. I raged and fumed. The Young Man had run out of the house."How could Helena do this to me mom? I asked a rhetorical question. I was expecting her to give me an answer but she did anyway."Son, I told you to stay away from her but you wouldn't listen now see?" Look at the shame she has brought upon us. Our name is going out on all billboards by morning. Have you seen it now?" My mom began to scold me like some kindergarten child."How
