Dying.

Helena stepped on the gas pedal leaving the Anderson Manor compound, she connected her phone Bluetooth to call Daryl that has been waiting on her.

"Hey, sorry i am late, something came up earlier. Im on my way now, send me your address."

"Sure, see you in a bit."

She skipped the part where she beat up Alice Vaughn that possibly broke her nose. She thought since Alice could benefit the rhinoplasty, she actually doing her the favor to get it done. That way, no one can mention her plastic surgery was done for vain.

The pink Camarro she drove split the silent night, the streets that was busy with cars and the bustling of town and people during the day are now empty, only decorated with twinkling lights and stars in the sky. Once in a while a chill breeze touches her skin since she rolled her window down.

She never gets the chance to appreciate anything in her surrounding in the two previous life she lived. Constantly being on alert for possible threats deprived you from appreciating life leisurely.

She finally learns a great deal after being reincarnated twice. How foolish was she back then, the Cabal might be a nuisance in terms of giving her the life she wants, regardless of how, she needed more, she refused the help Lorenzo and Raymond offered to her to spite them.

She might not be able to live the life to her heart desire, but she can at least make an effort to find a way to at least enjoys it. She noticed her mouth spoke of freedom and normal life, but deep down she craved the danger, she craved hostility and chaos, it is part of her. She is Chaos.

Seeing Daniel today almost made her crumble, Ethan was like a honey, but Daniel...he woke her, she was attracted to him because she knows he can handle the type of life she wants. Him matching her energy excites her the most. His eyes were filled with nothing when he saw her today, she knew he didn't know her in this life, but it tugged her cold heart when she saw him starring emotionless. Nonetheless, it is better than hatred. We all know how that went before.

She can manage her facade when she was undercover, it is a fake life created without an attachment for to live like a performer, except she is weak with her own feelings. that what had caused her in each timeline she lived. She loses her rationality when it comes to her emotions, when you grew up being surprised for years without any love, and care, it became an addiction to want to be validated. She should have listened to Soraya her friend also her therapist.

Her car parked in the underground area at the condo Daryl lived, he had given her the passcode to the underground parking and elevator for her to use. She might be awful with her feelings, but she is very alert with her surroundings. As much as she knew Daryl and this Helena is friend, she would not let her guard down ever. Arriving at the condo, she enjoys being in the high rice building, something about seeing everything from the top made her felt in control.

Pressing the bell, Daryl opened the door from the inside with a dejected reactions while his eyes are not able to hide the sorrow he harbors. Helena has an inkling of what is going on, it is possible relating to the issues he wants to talk to her about.

He stood at in front of her, hand still holding the door and his eyes are slowly pooling with tears.

"Aren't you going to invite me in at least before we start the melancholy of life drama?"

He wiped his eyes from the tears he almost spilled and pulled her in for a hug. They just both stood there hugging, no words are said, no movement, just two friends holding each other.

Helena held his trembling shoulder and make him looked at her.

"Tell me what is going on?".

He instructed her to wait for him at the balcony while he went and retrieve a brown envelope, 2 whiskey glasses and a bottle of Whiskey.

"I ran your blood on the day we went to the hospital, but since the MRI showing no abnormal brain activity, i never opened the result of the blood test, but then .... seeing you so acting so different, i figured i needed to investigate more and consult with a neurologist to see something that i might missed." He felt like a lump stuck on his throat from uttering his next words.

"And then?" Helena eager to know, she worried that this Helena is suffering from brain tumor and she will die again. She had just reunited with her mom; she does not want to lose her.

"Your brain...the neurologist flagged that you have a small cerebral edema, since i let the lab ran your stomach content, urine and blood the day you were admitted, i checked the report and you were exposed with a large number of arsenic. That explains changes in you"

"Is that why you are crying?"

He nodded.

"Do you have Dimercaprol to give it to me?"

He shook his head..

Sighing.. she gulp her glass of whiskey.

"Then starts Chelation therapy tomorrow. We can start crafting my treatment plan tomorrow and we shall see from there".

He thought the same thing, but that's not what is bothering him, the fact that she has arsenic in her body, its impossible to inhale that much amount of arsenic unless its ingesting.

"Helena, someone out there is trying to kill you!" He said his worst fear. He didn't think Helena has an enemy that willing to shed blood. Sure, she can be mean, but most of the time, she is the one that get bully because of her temper she ends up losing her mind and acting irrational.

"Looks like it"

She is collected and calm, both of them talked about the amount of trace they found in her blood. She is all too well familiar with arsenic because that is her specialties at the Cabal. At the same time, she knew she won't die, but that explains the headache she experienced and nauseated this past week since she woke up.

Alas, the bigger problem is someone has been feeding her poison and that can only mean her suspects are the entire people in Lee villa.

They talked about the reversal of the toxin, and Daryl was amazed of how genius Helena is explaining to him the treatment plan she wanted to bring up to the doctors tomorrow, disregarding the fact she is too knowledgeable in scientific research. He assumed her brain chemical has been altered, perhaps that might be something related to it.

At the Vaughn Villa.

"Brother, i am sorry! she was insulting me, i did not mean to create a commotion!" Alice spoiled behavior enrages Aaron that has been calm since Daniel told him he won't pursue the matter more. Seeing her bratty Un remorse attitude sparked the rage once again. He felt utterly humiliated when everyone absent there finds out she willingly hurting herself just to frame Helena Lee.

"You insult Molly Mane and you framed Helena Lee!!!!! Alice., Cade took an interest to Molly, they came together to the banquet, what makes you think you can do that?"

"I didn't think much! I'm sorry okay!!!!" She sat on her bed sulking.

"I don't know what else i need to do with you, i will tell mother and father to find you a husband, so you can stay out of trouble!" Aaron stroking his hair that hung on his forehead. His nose flare from the flame within him.

"NO!!!!, i don't want to marry anyone else, i want Daniel! you know this!!!, i rather die than marrying someone else!".

"You need to stop this madness! Daniel do not like you! He sees you like a younger sister and no more than that! You need to stop!"He snapped at her hoping senses can flow right into her small brain.

"No!!! I will make him want me!! Look at my nose now! That Helena b...ch bully and hurt me, i want to teach her lesson! you must take a revenge on her! or i will!!" .

"Do not do anything i can't saves you from Alice, our alliance and connections are limited, it will be foolish to do anything, and also I am leaving, i cannot handle you like this." Giving up, he walked out of the room not looking back before he loses his temper at her. They have spoil and allow her to get everything she wants. Now all of the Vaughn family is paying for their actions.
