Influence (2)

Heading to a balcony, Helena sighed hating this feeling brewing inside of her, is this some sort of trace from the old Helena, or it is coming from her. She cupped her face in frustration tying to get her emotions in check.

"Annoyed"? a man walk towards her with a smile that once imprison her in a feeling called love.

Ethan with his hands in his pocket slowly approaching Helena that was froze when she saw him in the flesh in front of her.

"For your information, she fell on purpose" he casually starting a conversation with Helena that still stood motionless.

"Hmmm, if i did not know you have an amnesia, i would think you remember me my love" he snorted with an evil sneered completely the opposite of Ethan she knew back in the other world. She came back to her senses when she felt his aura is completely screaming dangerous and not the kind Ethan she is used to.

"My love?" she scoffed genuinely puzzled. Does this Helena cheated on Daniel?

"I am not sure if you can be trusted anymore? the rest believe you have been compromised since you married your target. I have to see it for myself to confirm it" he crossed his arm next to her while looking at the grand metal frame glass door leading to the banquet hall.

Helena brains works as fast to decipher his words, and she came to a conclusion the old Helena wasn't a simple person to begin with, her instinct telling her to walk away, but she has to know about it, compromised means danger, she is fully aware what a compromised agent be dealt with back in the Cabal. If the Cabal is inherited by Daniel per Cael, and what organizations is Helena currently in?

"Remind me what i forgot, perhaps i will know about it" She light her cigarettes and blowing the smoke hiding the eerie feeling in her.

"This is new habit love, i didn't think i would see a day of you smoking so casually"

"Nonetheless the great Hell is alive and well, i was worried for a second when i heard you were pushed by Rebecca" he raised his hand trying to touch Helena's cheek, she subconsciously evade it.

"I don't remember who you are, and this is not the place to do anything funny" she stood her ground.

"Continue to be meek, you are showing your real self, our plan wont continue if you don't hold yourself back" he handed her a USB drive and walked away and disappeared among the crowd that still gathering with Daniel and Miranda newly joined by Molly.

At the hall..

Molly smiled and waved her hand to everyone and apologize for the misunderstanding, which is Miranda fell by herself and it has nothing to do with Helena. She saw earlier from afar Daniel making his way towards the commotions only to encounter Miranda pale face.

She believes Daniel has threaten the heck out of the Teo family for the sake of that lowly Helena, she rushed to do a damage control preventing Daniel to be impulsive and to drag the stupid Miranda that acted without her brain.

Cael that was nearby had been following Helena overheard the conversation between Ethan and her. He needs to go to her right now before she watched the USB drive given by Ethan.

Fiddling the USB drive between her fingers she saw Cael making his way towards her, with his short legs in a tuxedo he looked completely adorable, Helena didn't noticed the smiled on her made Daniel that secretly eyeing on her smiled as well, he watches her from far after Molly came and took Miranda away dispersing the crowd.

Cael held Helena's hand that held the USB and looked at her with a distress in his face, he was worried Helena will be influenced by Ethan especially this Helena were once in love with the man. Ethan in this world was not the same with the other Ethan. This Ethan is ruthless and dangerous, Cael truly did not expect she will be approached after a year, the amnesia did not deterred the group away.

When he had a talk with Helena on the breakfast morning, he left the details of who she really was, Old Helena confided in him together, that was why the two were inseparable back then, they had each other to lean on.

"Mom, whatever you do after you watch the video, i will still love you no matter what, but i wont be on your side to go up against my father" he shook his head with a tear dripping on his chubby cheek.

"what are you talking about, and don't call me mom" she pinched his chubby cheek fully aware what he had meant. The USB contain some sort of clues about the old Helena and Cael seems to be fully aware of it.

"we will watch it together, remember we are a team!! despite your short legs, you are useful" her index finger moving up and down pretending to scrutinized Cael in front of indirectly calming him from losing his composure.
