George's POV
I kept myself pondering in my new living room as i stared at Helena's picture on my phone. I began doubting if it was love or pure obsession. Why do i love her more than before? Like i wouldn't last long without her being beside me. My heart arched as a twinge spreads round my body.
A tear dropped down from my eyes and landed on my phone's screen, i didn't even take notice of who was beside me all the while.
"Father why are you crying? Why isn't mom here with us? " i heard Betty's tiny voice from behind me. Without looking at her, i wiped my eyes and forced a smile on my face before turning to face her. I carried her up and gave her a peak on the cheeks
"You haven't gone to bed sweetie" i smiled but she continued looking at me
"Is mummy okay? Is she still angry with you? Did you two have another fight? " Betty asked too much questions the same time that i swallowed hard
"You see sweetie, your mom's fine and we might have had a little misunderstanding but that isn't what we can't handle" i teased her cheeks and she giggled "Mom will join us soon, she just has work to attend to" she nodded
"Okay daddy, can you please read me a bedtime story, i can't sleep" Betty requested and i chuckled hard. I knew she needed something but how long will i keep lying to cover up? Betty is 8 and too smart for her age.

Helena's POV
"Argh" i wailed as cold water rush down my face and soaked my body wet. I was seated on a chair with my hands backwards, i couldn't move anything part of my body because i was numb. My whole body arched, i managed to squint at the bright sun-like light. I wasn't familiar with the place so i shut my eyes opened.
I shuddered to see four mighty men with grumpy faces that scared the hell out of me.
"How did i get here? "
Tracing back my past memories, i remembered being bonked on the head, yes... yes i was being kidnapped. I tried to move my hands and legs but to no avail, they were tied up.
"Who___who the hell are you? Untie me this minute if you don't want to get arrested" i blustered and to surprise me they all laughed hard and loud.
"Outside this walls sweetheart" one of the thugs trailed his filthy hand down my face "You're a rich b*tch who can threaten anyone but in here we call the shots, so you either shut up or we shut it ourselves". I shivered to their threats, what do they want from me, fear continued to wash over me that i had to shut up and wait for the worst.
I started hearing faint footsteps coming towards us, the bright light was directed to my face so i couldn't see who it was until he closed in.
"Oscar? " my jaw dropped in shock
"Boss" the thugs bowed at him making me muddled, when his eyes met mine he smirked hard
"This life works in many funny ways don' you think, Mrs Helena Isaac" he smiles and i fumed
"You bloody bas*ard, let me go" i yelled with little effect and he snickered
"Fu*king shut up or i will order them to pull out some bullets directly into your skull" he rasped and tears streamed down my face. God what have i done to deserve this? Is it still karma? God please forgive me all my sins. I don't want to die yet and definitely not in the arms of the man i once cherished.
"Oscar just name what you want please, i will give it" i whimpered and he sniggered
"That's my girl" he caressed my body and i glared at him grisly "Get the documents boys". One of the thugs pulled out some files from a briefcase and placed it on my laps
" What-What are all these documents? " i quivered
"You don't have to know, just sign it with you and your father's signature" Oscar demanded but i resisted. He held my chin and in rage i spat on his face. He grimaced and wiped his face off then unexpectedly he slapped me and my lower lips bled as i groaned
"You will get nothing from me Oscar" i growled "Besides my father's signature is confidential". Oscar broke into a snigger as she stared right into my eyes and i just couldn't look back
" Guess i will just start with your father the old man" he paused with a smirk and i looked baffled and rolled my eyes. But what i heard next caused the world around me to crumble. "After killing him, then i will kill your broke a*s husband George and down to your lovely adorable kids right in front of you. And believe me before they die, i will tell them you were the reason for their deaths". I shivered upon hearing Oscar's threats.
If i didn't know Oscar before now, i would have vouch for him and swear with my life that he couldn't even harm a fly. But after seeing him now, i'm certain he would carryout his threats regardless of the consequences if he gets caught. With shaking hands and filling up eyeballs, i signed the documents.
"You are a devil Oscar" i grunted "You will never succeed with your evil plans". He chuckled and put back the documents into the briefcase
" I love you too babe and yes i will succeed" he winked at me then turn his gaze to the armed men "You can release her" and with that he left.
The men untied me and left as well, i couldn't move any of my body parts because they all screamed Pain. What really have i gotten myself into? My father will never forgive me if he finds out. I tried standing up but i only fell on my face, my whole body arched.
My ribs tightened to foresee the disappointment that would be imprinted on father's face, that's the worst pain i will ever feel in my entire life. I looked bleary as my mind went groggy
"I need to leave this place but how? " i gritted. I can't even move my numb legs.

George's POV
"I'm coming" i responded after hearing a deafening knock on the door. I wonder who the psycho is. Immediately i opened the door, my jaw dropped as i stared wide eyed. Helena saw me and fell over floppy, blood gushing out of her lips
"What happened to her? "
I quickly carried her up and took her into the living room as she continued repeating the same words
"Father i'm sorry" she continuously said
"Helena relax, who did this to you? " i asked perturbed but she continued repeating the word with tears in her eyes

Mr Julian's POV
I parked my car right in the front of my company only to find policemen blocking the entrance. People gathered and started taking pictures immediately they spotted me
"Officers what are you guys doing here? What's going on? " i asked as i scoured the crowd. They were all bearing faces of mockery and some of surprise
"Sir you're no longer allowed into this building" police 1 ordered and my confusion increased. They must be at the wrong place, this is obviously my company and building
"What do you mean? " i asked
"There's a restricted order that neither your daughter or yourself is allowed into this building and your other companies" a lawyer in their midst said sternly and i stepped back to know if this was actually some dream or prank
"You're mistaken, this building and my properties legally belongs to me" i said as i flailed my arms. Surprising me, the lawyer brought out some documents and showed to me. I couldn't see it clearly due to how blurry my eyes became.
"No.... No" i panted "This is a joke, this is a prank right? " i asked my mind muzzy.
"Your daughter Mrs Helena Isaac signed these documents, so your properties and this building now legally belongs to Miss Toni Warrick and Sir Oscar Griffin, so vacate this area" police 2 gruffed and i stared around me baffled. I winced as people began mocking me with their looks and giggles. How did it really get to this?
I sluggard down to my car but another police man scuttled to me
"Sir, you can't take this car along with you" the police informed ruefully. He happened to be one of the many young men that i saw through police school. But i can't remind him of that now, he's only doing his job. I handed the keys over to him and began lumbering to only God knows where shamefully.
