Helena's POV
"I'm happy your father has finally freed you from that marriage's bondage. This calls for a celebration" Oscar jabbered even more excited than i am. I chuckled as we made a toast and i giggled.
"C'mon lets' go to my house and celebrate more" he suggested and my smile died instantly.
"I'm free right? But why do i feel guilty of something? Why am i so afraid of George's reaction? He has approved right" i pondered inwardly
"You look moody, everything okay? Having a second thought? " Oscar asked solemnly and i blinked a few times
"Why am i worried that George would be disappointed if he found out what i was up to with Oscar? "
I dangled my car keys nervously as i spoke
"Not at all" i answered trying very hard not to cry
"Do you love him? " Oscar's question came like a shock in my ears. I wasn't expecting that question from any angle. But at the same time i was so lost and confused in the question. Do i really love George? I get it, i'm just feeling bad for him, i mean i will be divorcing him soon
"Let's just go to your house" i snapped and stood then he smiled.

I woke up with a migraine as my head banged and ached in many ways. I only get such severe headaches when i take lots of alcohol. I didn't take any alcohol yesterday..
"Wait...... Yesterday? " i shut my eyes wide open as i glanced around the room. I spotted my clothes littered on the floor
"What the _____? " i looked underneath me and gaped. "No... No, this is not what i'm thinking!" I looked beside me and found OSCAR peacefully sleeping beside me. My chest panged loudly as tears began to fill my eyes.
"Helena what were you thinking when you decided to follow your ex to his house in a gloomy night". Tears streamed down my eyes as i jumped out of the bed gathering my clothes together
" Babe you're already awake. So when are we getting married?" he yawned and i gaped furiously
"There's not going to be any bloody wedding" i rasped squirrelly as my tears never ceased. I quickly wrapped my clothes around myself pedantically. But this is definitely not a small thing, i have gotten myself into a disgraceful mess
"What are you trying to hide Helena? " he asked and pouted his lips gleefully. Fresh tears creeped its way down my face
" Oscar you're a bas*ard! You're an evil bas*ard! I'm still married" i groaned and his face darkened in anger
"What do you really want Helena? Last night you were soo happy, celebrating merrily, forgetting you are a married woman" He blunted. I dressed up quickly and chucked a pillow to him raging
"Stay the hell away from me, you son of a bit*h" i cursed and stormed off.
"What am i going to tell George? Would he even believe me after i lie? I just disappointed dad and i hate myself for it

I drove into the compound anticipating the worst but all i wished for was not to see George first. I got down from my car shivering in fear and as expected i ran out of luck because the very first person at the entrance was George. He was staring at me uncannily as i walked to him fearfully
"Geo.... George i can explain ___" but he cut me off cranky
"That won't be necessary at all Helena" George tried to mask his emotions that still etched on his face "I already know but what baffles me is why you slept there. So you reconnected back with your ex Oscar and i'm now your fool right? "
