Dinner from hell (5)
She went back to the hotel feeling as if her heart has been shredded into thousand pieces.
If the Mr. Wright is the one and only Wright he ever knew than her life is currently repeating the cycle, each life time gives a similarity yet different in so many ways. She sat on the balcony with overlooking the harbor, this Ethan is not the Ethan she knew. He was gentle, adorable, kind-hearted man. This Ethan is dangerous.
Then it dawned on her how Daryl is so casually mentioning his name without showing any sign of misspoke, based on her observation, he deliberately disclosing too much information to her during their meet. She chuckled, they wanted to see where she stand either she will run her mouth towards Daniel or not.
She knew better than to give up her only card to him, only when he agreed to take her mother out of the country safely that she will disclose who is after him.
Beeping sound was heard coming from the door, Helena turned to see Eleanor is back carrying bags of her instant haul today.
Walking in shaking her head, she dig through all of the bags to take out every dresses her mom has bought for her.
"Mom, isnt this a little too much? You are aware we are slightly broke right?" she continue digging the bag looking for any dresses she might take an interest.
Eleanor grinned to her ear and went to the refridgerator to retrieve a bottle of water.
"your dad is broke, not me" she giggles like child that is amused of their own tricks.
Helena hand retracred from one of the bag, she spun to look at the mischievous Eleanor.
"Motherrrrrr... Who are you? Soo sneaky!" she squinted her eyes amazed at how many tricks are hidden in her mom sleeves.
"No tricks, these are my inheritence from my maiden family, i barely spent it"
"Does Els.. I mean does dad knows about it?"
"He does, but he never ask for it"
Nodding her head slowly, Helena continue digging through the bag and found a beautiful floral printed dress. Its simple but beautiful enough to make a statement. The dress flow reach just right after the knee, the neckline exposed the collarbone yet keeping the chest area intact without showing any cleavage. The sleeves cut untill the arm right above the elbow.
"I love this one, thanks mom". She hugged her mother and kiss her on the cheek.
"By the way Helly, Gianna Anderson is not simple to deal with, remember that"
"Mom, im just going for dinner as a friend, nothing serious"
"Yeah right, Daniel is never involved with any woman before, and yet he is bringing you to family dinner"
Helena's steps halted, she forced a smile hoping in time she can tell her mother the truth. Daniel knew she is just another person that was sent to spy on him, she knew he must have hated her.
She took a deep breathe and walked into the shower to get freshen up and ready for the dinner.

"Disconnect the video monitor" Daniel instructed the security personel since he figured Helena is getting ready and he doesnt want anyone to even see an inch of her smooth skin.
"Yes boss" they nodded in unison keeping only the voice surveillance.
Taking out his phone he dialled Armano that is currently in the basement interogating the two man Helena met with earlier.
"Any reason why she wants them to tail Elster Lee?"
"No boss, just report of his daily activity" Armano spoke on the other side of the line.
"Keep them and send someone to follow Elster and keep feeding her the information"
"Yes boss, this men they are either incompetent or she is just inexperienced, the father gladly disclosed everything as long as we paid him more, he is willing to betray her, the son on the other hand is a little bit more tight lip"
"I see...." his lips tugged to a side realizing Helena played them rught into her trap.
"She fooled us, she wants us to get them because they are incompetent, she knows i will sent someone better to watch Elster Lee and give her better informations, and she knew we are watching her"
"You might be right, she went out today and manage to shake our people loose from trailing her, boss.... She is dangerous"
Armano do not have a good feeling of this.
"Boss, i dont think inviting her for dinner isna good thing"
"Are you doubting me Armano?" his face darken from the blatant disrespect Armano indirectly uttered to her.
"Boss, you know thats not what i mean, i just dont want you to fall for her trap"
"Let me deal with her, ill see you in an hour"
He hang up and is excited to dance with Helena in the game she plays. The more dangerous she is, thd more it ignite his fire, thinking of her smooth soft lips kissing him, he wants more of her, and he will trap her and shackled her to his soul if thats what needed to bound her to him for eternity.
Snapping himself from his obsession with her, he went took the long cold shower to calm himself before he end up ravaging her as soon as he sees her.
Armano looked at the two men and scoffed in disdain, retrieving his jacket on the metal chair he left the basement to return to his quarters and needed a shower before sending Daniel to the Manor later. He wont let Helena out of his sight, he will never trust her. That cunning woman might have stole Daniel's heart, perhaps that is why he has been lenient towards her. Then he will become Daniel's rationality, by keep reminding him, she is the enemy.
