Ch-7: Anger

The villa, now brilliantly lit up with dazzling lights, was bustling with people. Joshua, surrounded by many other businessmen, was enjoying their flattery. Empty words or not, it did feel good to stand on top of all others.

Seeing Noah arrive soon after, he excitedly went up to him.

"Hey! Long time no see Noah! " He greeted enthusiastically.

"Yeah well." Noah replied without much expression.

"Well follow me quick." Joshua urged eagerly. Noah followed him without much concern, and on the way asked his secretary whether Helena was ready via text message.

"So did you really get your hands on Helena?" Joshua asked excitedly upon reaching a secluded VIP lounge.

"Yeah. She got dealings with Helden and is now pretending to be amnesiac." Noah replied without divulging details. Joshua knew of his animosity towards his maternal uncle. Knowing him, Joshua stopped talking further through the topic and changed it to business talk. 

"So..when is she coming?" Joshua asked after a while. Some time had passed and it was soon going to be dinner time. He hoped he could taste his desert before that. 

"Should be here in a minute. I just asked my assistant. Oh....don't let your kinks destroy her mind. That's all I'm going to ask of you. She has work to do for me." Noah instructed seriously. His only concern was about Helena being driven crazy by Joshua's "plays". That's what he called them at least...though they were nothing less than torture. He had, what people termed as, sadistic kinks. Way too sadistic. That was also why the brothel, at which Helena used to work, refused him even a single night with their most famous product. 

So, now that Helena was in the hands of his close friend, Joshua was obviously more than excited. That brothel just held up too many excuses and rules for him to get his hands on her. And he didn't really want to flaunt his power to get his hands on a woman....that also a prostitute. 

It was better if it was effortless. Just like her value- worthless. Except her body, she had nothing else going on for her. 

Well that's basically how anyone else like her was viewed in this society.

In the car, Helena watched as the scenery swiftly passed by. Her mind was completely blank and her eyes were weirdly lightened up. The brightness in them was a bit unusual and ferocious. It was like...she wasn't in her usual calm and steady state.

In the darkness of the evening, her cold smile went unnoticed by the assistant sitting beside her. 

"I told you right? Let me take care of it now."

Reaching the villa, Helena swiftly got out of the car and waited for the assistant to show her the way. The assistant noticed something was amiss but didn't dwell too much upon it.

" So who am I to serve tonight?"

"You'll meet him soon. Follow me now."

Walking through a long corridor, Helena finally stood in front of a well furnished door. There were no voices that could be heard around the area. This part of the villa seemed completely private.

The assistant knocked on the door and a deep voice commanded from inside the room, "Come in." 

Opening the door, Helena saw a dimly lit luxurious room with expensive furnitures giving off their characteristic luster. In the far end of the room, two men sat leisurely while talking business.

As Helena was assessing the situation, Noah was observing her too. Seeing her dressed in a seductive red dress, he felt a strange itch in his heart. She was indeed a beauty. A lethal one at that.

Helena walked in nonchalantly and headed straight to the man he had never seen. Speaking in a lustful voice, she teased, "Well well I got a handsome one to serve today i see~". 

Hearing her beautiful voice, Noah could hardly believe his eyes and the scene in front of him. As Helena spoke, she boldly sat on Joshua's lap and initiated a hot sticky kiss.

In the dim light, as their lips separated, a faint thread of their intermixed saliva could be seen shining brightly....almost glaring for Noah's eyes. 

Looking at Helena acting like a completely different self than her usual quiet and timid one, Noah felt like laughing out in rage. Sure enough he guessed right! This woman was clearly pretending to have amnesia in front of him! 

But why did she stopped pretending all now? A fairly rational question calmed him for a moment.

If she was going to pretend... wasn't it better for herself to pretend to the very end?

While Noah was pondering over his confusion, Helena who was boldly being intimate with Joshua couldn't help but smirk.

Any emotion was good...as long  as it's not indifference.....
