AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Twenty Four
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR.We drove home in silence as he held my hand all through the journey home.Damn, Alexander has got the hottest look ever. The moment we got to the house he held me by the waist as we climbed the stairs to our rooms. I wanted to go mine but Alexander wouldn't let me. We struggled and giggled for a few minutes then he succeeded in trapping me against his door. He smiled at me, his smile was so genuine it made my heart skip. Lost in my thoughts I stood there looking at his face beams with a kind of beauty I hadn't seen. Alex was a sweet soul hiding under the mask of an arrogant and ruthless young man. He is a perfect description of do not Judge a book by its cover. I squirmed under his gaze for a moment, feeling confined as I stood compressed in front of him. I clasped my hands, fiddling with my thumbs as I avoided his eyes. "Helena," He began, "are you afraid of me?"No", I quipped.He continues, beaming at me this time. You're not going to stand there looking at

HELENA'S POV.We woke up exhausted together on his bed. Alexander had worn me his T-shirt when I slept off in his arms. The sun poured through her window. One more day had unfolded, carrying with it new expectations and goals. The gleam of the first light saturated her room. Helena scoured her blurred eyes and strolled to the window. There was a silvery sparkle overhead. The main beams of daylight illuminated the room in its vastness. The sunrise tune of melodic birdsong floated in as the rising sun cast a ruddy tint across the morning sky. Brilliant fingers of daylight adorned the scene. The blue sky was speckled with fleecy white mists that floated languidly in the delicate breeze. The periodic yelping of cars and reeving wheels could be heard from meters away. Dappled sun radiated through the trees, making baffling shadows."Good morning sunshine". Alexander said to me. He was out of bed earlier than I had expected him to be. Good morning sweet. He came over and pressed a kiss on

Helena's Pov The moment my dad said that my eyes and ears shut open. I panicked and could no longer understand what he was saying. Was he just cooking up words to make me hate Alexander? I doubt it."Dad what do you mean?" I panicked.I barely knew my mom and I have lived all my life in her absence. I was raised by my dad who had fought for me every single time. This was the only favour he had asked from me and here I was getting a detailed explanation to cause of my late mother's death. I knew Isabella was mean and heartless but to a point where she ocd take another humans life was what I didn't understand. What could have caused the rift? From the pictures of my mom that I had seen in my dad's drawer she looked like she couldn't lay a finger on a fly. Why would Isabella want to eliminate the life of a poor woman who had not done anything thing to her. I waited patiently for my dad to give me the entire story about my mom's death. This wasn't going to be funny but I was determined t
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Twenty Seven
I was exhausted from all the days’ trauma. The sorrow of losing a mother at a very young age had just hit me today even though I cannot remember what her face looks like except I picked up any of those pictures we took when I was much younger.“So what are you going to do about that now dad?” I asked him as I began to wipe the tears from my eyes. “I don’t know yet but she mustn’t go unpunished”."Helena, you have to leave now, I do not want them to kill you like they killed your mom. I know she cannot do that because she knows it would spill the truth to the entire world if she did. But you have to go back home. Alexander must not know you were here". He told me coldly.“Okay. Daddy but I miss you really. That house is always strange to me and I can never accept that dungeon as a home”. I sat for a few minutes then handed him a little envelope containing a few dollar notes. Alexander had gifted me before leaving fir work in case I needed to get anything for myself but I figured it wo
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Twenty Eight
ALEXANDER’S POVSince the very first day I made love to Helena I knew she had been abused or something bad must have happened to her to make her want to abstain from sex for so long. She was unusually tight but when we finished I didn’t see any blood on my dick or on the bed indicating that I had just broken a fresh hymen. Sao when she told me the reason behind her shyness towards me whenever we made it, I felt so sorry for her. I want to be there for her. To protect her at all times, as much as u can. She was soft and had a kind heart. These days getting a woman with such qualities is not so easy and I strongly believe that if she’s given an opportunity to prove herself in a more formal situation with more tasks at hand she would deliver. She was smart and only needed a little grooming to push her to the limelight of the kind I wanted for myself. Well my mom hasn’t known yet that she gave me a treasure to value and keep for myself alone. This was almost a week since she last had that
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Twenty Nine
ALEXANDER’S POVI called a meeting with the chief security officer at the office and told them the situation on ground. I didn’t literally tell them I was being threatened by some unknown person but I saw the need to urge them to be alert when on duty because I do not want anything going with any staff at the moment. I know you’ll be wondering what happened to me. Why have I suddenly changed? Well love happened. The few weeks I spent with Helena at the hospital has taught me a few things about love and how to treat people. Firstly, that humans deserve to be treated right and two that we all deserve love and second chances. Well’ I know for sure I have wronged a lot of my staff in one way or the other and even the ones I had fired for no just cause. I cannot go begging and pleading with them for forgiveness so this is the only way I can show them how deeply sorry I am for how I have been treated like I was a monster. I told them to man the gates at all times and always be alert. After

HELENA’S POVWe were still asleep when we heard the bang on the front door. We both rolled out of each other’s arms. I laid on the bed and stretched myself while Alexander went by his window to check if any car had pulled in while we were still asleep. Shit! He jumped back to the side of the bed."You need to go to your room as soon as possible". He told me and began to jump quickly into his clothes.“What’s the problem?’ I was confused and panicked all at once."Mom is here” he finally answered.Fuck. Shit!I jumped out of the sheet naked. I ran over the other edge of the bed to get my clothes. I didn’t bother to put them on. As I raced out Alexander grabbed me by the arm and kissed me, then told me to stay in my room.I got this baby. Just wait for me” he said and hurried out too. I got to my room and wore my big pajamas like I had always done when I was first brought into this house. The banging on the door didn’t stop until Alexander had opened up.'Since when did you remove my
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Thirty One
ALEXANDER’S POVI have to be honest. This was the first time since I have been with Helena I am seeing her pack up so much anger. I bumped into her just by entrance. She had probably been eavesdropping on my conversation with my mother. You know how petty women came be, jumping into conclusions without actually wanting to find out the truth of the matter. Helena’s eyes were bloodshot red and it seemed like she’d been crying before now. Arms fooled under her breast, I knew there was trouble lurking behind that look but I pretended I hadn’t noticed the anger in her face.“Hey babes, you are here already. Mom’s gone. I said. I was nervous but I had to maintain a steady voice while talking to her. Maybe she didn’t hear anything, maybe she just came downstairs to check on me since I had taken so much time, I thought but I was far from the truth when the trouble finally hit me.“Do not touch”. She said and yanked her arms off my hand the moment I tried to touch her.“Babe, what’s wrong?” I
