Well, well as you could expect Helen decided with her mother to make a move on their little problem. They had been putting the plan in motion since the day Damian left her at the restaurant to go after Elle. She had no problems walking on dead bodies to achieve what she wanted.
Helen and her family arrived at the party at 9 sharp, dressed in a black dress that would make her legs look long, with a generous cleavage and some silver stiletto. She accessorized everything with a set of diamond necklace, earrings, bracelet and a silver small purse. She had her hair in a bun so everybody could admire the back of her dress and her signature red lips. She was ready to slay in style. She started greeting people until she saw Melanie.
“Hello, Melanie! Great party, I love you decorations!” acting like she gave a f*ck about something else except herself and went to give her a hug. “Helen dear long times no see. How are you?” And that was what she had expected from her to ask. “Can you spare some minutes I really need to talk to you!” And she put the puppy eyes. “Of course, what is it dear?” And she took her to the study.
“Melanie I have no idea how to say it and I am really sorry to bother you and I don’t want you to change your opinion of me but...” And she started shading crocodile tears. “You know that I have been in love with your son since we were like 15 years old and you and my mom kept saying that we should marry even Michel told my dad that I will become part of the family soon.” She kept letting her tears fall, but her makeup was waterproof and it looked as impeccable as the moment she came. “You see a couple of weeks ago I meet Damian at one of your parties and we went home and we… You know.” And she acted like she was ashamed by it but in reality she wasn’t she liked lure man in her bed. “And now I found out I was pregnant and I don’t know what to do. I love him so much.”
Melanie was shocked, she poured herself a glass of whisky and kept listening. “You see I just found out and I was excited and I tried calling him many times but he ignored me. One day I runned into Damian at a restaurant and he was dinning with one woman that said she was the new family’s doctor. She left so we could have privacy but when I tried to tell him he started making a scene, being aggressive and threatened me. I don’t know what was wrong with him and left me there alone. I don’t know what to do; I am scared that if my family finds out they will kick me out.” But in reality her mother helped her to come up with the plan.
Melanie was fuming, she send for her husband and told him the same story and after she send for Helen’s parents. And again she told them the story. Her mother was a great actress and started crying fake tears as well. Michael on the other hand was not sold with the story; you see he had been talking with his son more often this couple of days since they were trying so hard to make the business legal. And he had been talking with her father about her becoming part of the family but he was talking about her marrying his elder son thinking that that will make him come back from his “vacation”.
But in all his talks with Damian he had only heard how he had found the woman he was going to marry and how Elle helped him with some of the crew problems. He took a sit in the desk chair and watched as his wife was making plans to marry his son.
After some time they heard a knock on the door and a man went in. “Mr. Damian had arrived madam, should I tell him to come and see you?” Melanie rose with a furious look on her face. “No, I will do it myself.”
And now we are back at the beginning, Damian walked in and invited Elle to sit in a chair near his dad. Him giving them an apologetic look. Helen was getting even angrier seeing that he had broth Elle. “Now mother can you explain to me what is it with this cheap circus?” While eyeing Helen and keeping his hand on Elle’s Shoulder.
“Cheap circus? You young man is time to grow up and become man. You will marry Helen as soon as possible. I don’t care what your excuse was but you are not getting out of this one. Your father and I are very disappointed in your actions. It’s settled.” Melanie was livid, Helen was smiling internally that her plan worked and Elle was heartbroken.
Damian squeezed Elle’s arm and with a cold and hard look on his mother said. “Mother I see that you did not learn anything from Faith’s situation. You are doing it again.” Elle did not know who she was but she could tell she was important for him since his eyes shined when he said her name.
“Don’t bring her into this. This one is all you, you left Helen pregnant.” Melanie roared. Elle’s heart was shattered. How was it possible? Not knowing how to react she stayed silent and refused to watch Damian in his eyes.
“I did no such thing and even so I don’t owe her anything. If I am the father of the child I will make sure to give him all that he needs but I will not marry any other woman than Elle.” Everybody froze. Damian looked at Elle loving. Michael was smirking proud of his son but the rest were having mix feelings.
“What did you just said? Since when are you two going behind my back? And you, I took you into my house and family for you to screw my son and to get his money, you little b*tch.” Michael rose on his feet and was about to tell his wife to shut up when Elle talked. “With all due respect, I have nothing to do with your problem but I am in a relationship with your son. We started it on my birthday, little over a week, not that I have to excuse myself to you. And for your information it was your son who came after me and he has respected me and did not had s*x with me yet.” Looking at Helen with accusing eyes. “So if she is pregnant believe me that it is not because he had forced her or played her, it was because she asked for it because he is a real gentleman.” Damian was smirking. Helen’s mom was ready to slap Elle.
“How dare you talk like that to my daughter you cheap slut? You have no right to be in here, this is a family business and you are not part of it. Get out!” As she was raising her hand to slap Elle Damian appeared in front of her roared an ungodly shout and stopped her hand mid air. “Don’t you even think about touching what is mine because I will forget who you are and break every bone in your body.” Helen's mom got scared, she knew what he could do and did fear him.
“Damian that is enough!” Screamed his mom. “You are acting like a cave man. You are the one who is in the wrong now. Get rid of Elena and do what is right.” Damian let go of her hand and with an unseen force he punched the desk. A breaking sound was heard and it was not from his hand it was from the wooden desk that was cracking under his force. The beast was out and was looking for blood.
“Mother to make it all more clear to you I will never in my f*cking life will marry this h*re.” And he pointed at Helen. “But if you want for the history to repeat itself I am fine with it, only this time no one will die but I will get out of your life and you can pretend I am dead. Even better for me, I won’t have to kill myself in trying to complete the promise. And for everybody to see what a h*re this sl*t can be, you had forgotten Helen that I have cameras in every f*cking room at my house I can show everybody what kind of woman you are and what happened that night.” Helen was white as a ghost, she had never thought at that.
“And if you are pregnant surely it isn’t mine since I never finished, you were not woman enough for me to satisfy me. So how the f*ck could I be the one to impregnate you?” Damian was spitting fire and hissing his every word. His veins were bulging and he was red as hell. The beast had won and he was about to pull out his gun to shoot someone when Elle took his hand in hers. That little gesture was enough for him to move his eyes on her and calm down. He squeezed her hand and took a deep breath.
Helen was livid now, seeing the whole scene. “Who do you think you are to throw me like I am garbage? If it weren’t for this b*tch we would had been planning our weeding anyway. Your father had settled it with my father long before I knew I was having your baby.”
That was the moment when Michael spoke for the first time he had seen the effect that Elle had on the beast of his son. “That is enough, I have heard enough. I had never discussed with your father for you to marry Damian, so stop pointing fingers. First of all, you all should be ashamed of yourself for trying this stunt in my house. Second of all, you will never be part of my family anymore and any of the ties between our families will be severed, except for the business ones. I may be an old-fashioned man but when it comes to money I don’t play.” Helen’s father let out a breath. “But Michael, darling this is unheard of.” He put a hand up and continued.
“For your information wife dear.” And he accentuated the word dear. “I have been talking with my son since the beginning and I know about his feeling for Elle. Elle dear, I am sorry for this sh*t show and in my family behalf I apologize. I am honored that you will be part of this family and hopefully you will not think ill of all of us. You are a wonderful young lady and I am in debt to you.”
“Michael, stop it! This is getting out of control. He will marry Helen and that is my final word, you had already talked it with her dad anyways. I trust in her word and I will support her and raise my grandkid.” “Melanie is your choice to be blinded by a joke of a family but go ahead. I am going to stay by my son, I trust him. But for you to know, Elle here is the one that saved your son’s life the night Faith died and had been helping our son at the warehouse long before they were together. And to top it all up he had fallen in love with her not knowing who she was.” And he gave Damian a pat on the back. “And the deal Helen was talking out, yes I did talked it with her father and I wanted her to become part of the family but not with Damian, I was talking about your first son.”
“Now son go and get the young lady a glass of wine, she needs to calm her nerves. Go and talk and I will meet you at the party. I have some last word to talk with them.” And he pointed even at his wife. “Elle dear please forgive us.” Damian noded, took Elle's hand and the two of them went out the door.
“Now, Helen I will give you one chance to tell me who is the father of the baby or I will make sure your family will lose all its money and power in this world.” Her father started to get restless he had thought that he would get out of there richer than ever but it backfired. “Answer him stupid girl I have had it with you and your stupidity. Tell him or I will beat it out of you.” For him money was much more important than his own family.
“Donald, how can you talk like that to your daughter can’t you see that this family humiliated her? And you, Melanie, how could you I thought you were my friend.” Melanie had nothing to say anymore she had realized that something was not so clear about Helen’s story and the fact that her husband was against her made her doubt everything she said. He was never against her, he would be by her side even if he knew she was wrong but this time was different.
“Time is up; I will call my lawyers right now and will start with the last hotel deal. It’s now or never.” Donald went and slapped her and she started screaming. “Fine, it’s not his ok. I don’t even know if I am pregnant but if I am its Ian’s. I meet him a couple of days ago and thought that if you would want some proof his DNA would match yours.” Melanie was in shock.
“Fine, the plan goes on. You will marry Ian and get the f**k away from this house. Your job will be to keep him alive and I will bury you in money. Now get out, I would like to talk with my wife.” Helen’s mother tried to talk some more but was hushed by Donald.
“Melanie, I hope you realized what you just did. And the fact that you were so adamant to go against me was the cherry on top. I think we should take a break. I need some time to think. We will go out pretend in front of the guests but the second they are out I am moving into the guest house.” She started crying, never in her life she imagined her man leaving her. “It’s all that girls fault, that Elle. I curse the day she walked into my house” Michael looked disappointed at his wife and said. “If I had any doubt of what I was doing you just proved me wrong. I can’t believe that you can’t see that she is your son’s salvation.”
In another part of the mansion Elle was drinking a glass of wine and Damian was scared, kneeled in front of her. She had not spoken a word since they went out. “Baby girl are you ok? Please forgive me I shouldn’t done that but I was angry. Please...” But she did not let him continue and put a finger on his lips. She then kissed him with such a force that took him by surprise. He gave in and reciprocate; kissing her like there was no tomorrow. After a while she spoke.
“That was intense, but I am here for you and I trust you. If you say that you are not the father I believe you but even if you are I will try to so my best to be there for you after all it all happened befor we started anything.” That was all he needed. He started kissing her face, arms, hands and every single one of her fingers. He knew she was something else but now she really did show him. “You know? A couple of days ago you said something to me but I think you did not realized it. But I think I do too. No, I know I do too.”
Damian smirked he knew it all too well. He had said it to her one night coming late from a long day. All day he couldn’t get her out of his mind and seeing her after a whole day he just blurred it out. He was afraid that she would run hearing that but she acted like nothing had happened and he accepted it like that. He took her face into his big palms and looked into her eyes and said. “I LOVE YOU, ELENA TEVIS!” she smiled at him and said. “I LOVE YOU TOO, DAMIAN MORETTI.”
