A few days later
Helena took out a piece of paper located on the nightstand. He was glued for a moment to the black inked writing that read the letter from Arthur. The message read; I must return to London. There are some things I need to do. Take good care of yourself. I'll be back in Paris one week later.
Helena read the writing over and over again. His heart was suddenly uncomfortable, was this not what he wanted. Two days ago he kicked the man out, even in hysterical times, Arthur received all the insults from him that were out of control. There were probably countless how many nail scratches on the man's arm when trying to calm himself down.
For some reason even though her circumstances had been better, but Helena still felt the aura of someone who wanted to eliminate her. And that's what makes him feel scared all the time and his soul feels threatened.
"What are you doing standing there?" Steve's heavy voice jerked Helena, making the woman jump in shock and hurriedly put the piece of paper back on the nightstand.
"You surprised me Steve!" helena sat herself on the bed. "What did you bring?" And his gaze fell upon the tray Steve had brought.
"Suster leave food for you." Place the tray with some food on the table. "They say you're still afraid of them."
"Yes, slightly. I don't know why it's so hard to make myself the way I was before" his great-granddaughter let out a frustrated breath. He wondered why the fear was still controlling him and happened suddenly.
Steve smiled at the smile. He walked closer to the bed. "It's okay, you'll recover soon. Just wait a little while."
Helena nodded doubtfully, she hoped so. But very afraid if at the time of hysterics, he will hurt others. By injuring Arthur accidentally made him feel so guilty.
"Don't think too much, it's better to eat it while it's warm." Then Steve gave some food after putting a small table on Helena's lap.
The woman held the hand of Steve who wanted to help her eat. "I can do it myself Steve. Thank you for helping me so much" he said, slipping a smile.
"Don't bother me, Helen. We've known him for a long time. I would feel so guilty if I let you go like this." Steve's smile was full of sincerity. If it were just another woman, it might be easy to be tempted by Steve's handsome face. Especially when the sapphire blue eye bead is staring, it will make anyone melt made. But unfortunately from the past until now, Helena has no feelings for Steve other than friendship.
Helena pinned a smile and started eating her breakfast. Despite being stared at so closely by Steve, Helena was indifferent, as if unaware of the gaze of the doctor. Already long ago he did not give hope to Steve, because it would not be able to return the feelings of the man. Moreover, at that time he kept the love only for Mikel, but even though he was not with Mikel, he would not be with Steve. Steve was a good man and a good friend.

The day passed so quickly, not noticeably since Arthur's return a week ago. The man had not visited Helena again, but did not give up supervision of the woman. Arthur will take the time to see the iPad, where the woman he loves is just pensive every day. So that makes Arthur becomes unbearable and wants to fly to Paris immediately. But he could not return to Paris, because he had to take care of some work that was delayed, and take care of something important.
This afternoon Arthur had just returned to the company after meeting with Jorge Bonham as planned. Just about to enter the lobby, the voice of a stranger called out to him. Both Arthur and Darren turned their heads in unison, finding Chris walking hurriedly over.
"Speak in my room!" Arthur knows the purpose of Chris' arrival to his company. Especially if not to talk about the results of disguise while in Bonham Company.
They were in Arthur's room. The position of Chris sitting opposite Arthur, making it easier for Arthur to stare and talk to him.
Arthur just put down some of the map sheets that were collected. The note is a financial report manipulated by Jorge after considerable corruption. The old man tried to cover different financial differences every year.
"This evidence is more than enough to further bring down the Bonham Company. The old man must take responsibility for his actions for corruption in his own family's company." Arthur is not out of thought with the stupid actions done by Jorge. If caught doing corruption, it is certain that Jorge will suffer a big loss to his company.
"Areally Ar, Bonham Company does not belong to Jorge but to a man named Jonathan. I don't know who Jonathan they're talking about!" Chris' story that had just been known by him and Darren made the two gasp and meet each other.
"What do you mean?" arthur asked for more information known to Chris.
Chris did not immediately answer, he took out a voice recorder and immediately pressed the play button to listen to what the sophisticated small object had recorded.
"No. I don't want to lose the Bonham Company. There must be a way to stabilize the financials and stocks that suddenly just decline."
"You're too stupid Jorge. You should have moved Jonathan's entire assets in your name from the start!"
Arthur recognizes Jorge's voice, but not the voice of another man who is chiming in on Jorge's speaker. Arthur would not ask Chris anything before listening to the entire recording.
"You think I didn't do it?! I've done it before, but it was rejected by Jonathan's trust lawyer. The son of a bitch just wanted Helen to hand over the power of attorney to transfer all of Jonathan's assets."
"Arghh...." The voice of Jorge groaned in frustration. "I don't want to know, you should be able to help me move Jonathan's assets including the Bonham Company. All this time I've been paying you so much money to be my lawyer. This time I don't want you to fail again."
"I'll try Jorge. Make sure Miss Helena isn't married until I manage to manipulate everything. One more step, all Jonathan's assets you can control. But if Miss Helena is married and the certificate falls into Richard's hands, you will no longer have the opportunity to take control of Jonathan's assets because all those assets will fall to Miss Helena and Miss Helena's descendants later."
Pips
The voice recording was cut off. Arthur fluttered with a fisting. His heart burned with emotion listening to the conversation of the two men.
"I never thought that Jorge wasn't much different from a parasite." Darren's sarcasm made Chris turn to him.
"You're right. The man was already removed from the Bonham Family card, that's why the entire asset became on Jonathan's behalf. But could Jonathan be part of the Bonham Family?" Chris was puzzled, as he was not told the true genealogy of the Bonham Family. All he knew if the successor to the Bonham Company was Jorge Bonham was nothing else.
"Jonathan is Jorge's younger brother. In other words, it's Miss Helena's real father." Darren ignores Chris' curiosity. Sure enough, Chris was so shocked to hear that when Darren told him the whole story.
"She's a very poor woman, Der. How could it have such a sane uncle. Even ruining his own nephew with such a dangerous drug, and the worst again killing his second wife." Chris shook his head in surprise. Living in such a cruel world, it is not uncommon for humans to have properties like Jorge.
"Wife's husband makes no difference, Chris. They are both insane!" cibir Darren is upset.
"Ah, you're right." Chris agreed with Darren. Jorge and Margaret one package. Even their daughter named Caroline was down to the nature of her parents who were not self-knowing and so greedy.
"Der??" Arthur, who had been silent and thinking aloud, began to open his voice. Darren turned his head toward Arthur, and Chris. "Turn everything and make sure the Bonham Company falls into the hands it should. And you're Chris!" His eyes then turned to Chris. "For a very lucrative contract of cooperation, the manipulation of the contents of the letter into a power of attorney of Bonham Company became in the name of Helena Bonham. Ah no, not Bonham but Helena Romanov!"
"What??!" Both Darren and Chris were suffocated in shock.
"Ar, you're not kidding, are you?" ask Chris to make sure.
"Der, you take care of my full papers and Helena, give them to the civil and embassy records!" Arthur does not comment on Chris' words and assigns Darren to take care of his marriage to Helena. And that answer represented Chris's distrust.
"You sure of your decision, Ar?" This time it was Darren who was hesitant. He is the same as Chris who wants to make sure first.
"In my life, I've never been this sure, Der!" Firm and clear. Arthur's answer represents his determination in making decisions.
"All right, I'll take care of everything." Of course Darren fully supports, because he can see how great Arthur feels for the woman. Arthur will not make a big decision if his feelings for Helena are just a joke.
"And I will soon make a contract of cooperation, so that the Bonham Company belongs to your woman, ah I mean your future wife." Chris chuckled slightly, correcting his words.
Wife-to-be?
Ah, somehow hearing it made Arthur's heart rustle. But the man was very good at hiding his expression.
Arthur just nodded. Problem solved and only one more problem. That is talking about his decision to his parents who will definitely make them shocked.
