The Billionaire Mafia
A Center of Attention
Arthur and Helena are already on the London Eye or Millennium Wheel, the observation wheel or better known as the highest Bianglala in Europe and the largest in the world. The London Eye revolves around the banks of the River Thames and one of London's most famous tourist attractions. The tourist attractions became one that was favored by Helena.
If you are sad usually the woman will visit the London Eye and ride the Ferris wheel to enjoy the City of London from a height, but this time he did not ride it because Arthur had warned himself not to be at height during pregnancy.
"We can come here after you've given birth." Arthur rubbed Helena's head, understanding her disappointment. But he still will not let Helena ride the reanglala. He will grant anything as long as it does not endanger the life of his wife and two fetuses.
Helena nodded faintly. He also understands the prohibition of the husband and should not be selfish just because it is concerned with his wishes without thinking about his safety.
"Are you angry, hm?" Arthur asked to be sure, because Helena just nodded without even acknowledging.
Helena shook her head. "No. I'm not mad." Despite saying no anger, but Helena put on a sour face with pursed lips.
"Why not smile?" Arthur seduces his wife, leaning slightly closer to Helena. "Look, your beauty will be gone if you put on a face like that." Even deliberately nudging Helena using her elbow so that his wife can smile.
Helena clucked and threw her face the other way. Trying to hide her twitching lips in a way that held back a smile. Since when was her husband that smart teasing, isn't it usually flat expressionless, she thought.
But it felt like Helena could no longer bear to not smile. Something rare found Arthur who began to tease and it was only shown to himself.
"I just found out that an Arthur can flirt." And Helena retorted. It's weird, isn't it, even he barely believes it.
"What have I been like all this time, hm?" Arthur rattled Helena's hair in a fit of rage.
"Usually you put your face on like this." And Helena put on a cold, flat face of Arthur with no expression. Both of his eyes were made to sharpen with eyebrows that swooped upwards. Rebellious alone made Arthur chuckle a little, Helena's face was so adorable according to him.
"Am I like that in your eyes?" Arthur asked to make sure. It was impossible for his face to be like that in the eyes of others.
Helena nodded in confirming. "Yes, you're creepy" she said slightly shuddering as she recalled how Arthur had treated her. "But not anymore. Your face is warmer and it's only shown to me, I'm so happy." Helena slammed into Arthur's arms. Her voice was so exuberant as if it really illustrated the woman's sense of pleasure for having been a woman who could see Arthur's sweet side. In an instant, Helena's mood improved. Indeed, women who are pregnant always have a mood that is easily changed at any time.
Hearing Helena's words, Arthur thinned both corners of his lips, returned Helena's embrace and rubbed his wife's back. He was well aware of his attitude and only put a warm face to his family and after marriage he certainly had to act warmly to his wife.
As the sun sets, Helena and Arthur leave the London Eye. Along the way they walked towards the car park their hand links did not come off. Some visitors there looked enviously at the couple. Of course they recognize the figure of Arthur and feel amazed at the other figure of a man who is famous for his cold attitude and cruel side in business.
While driving his car, Arthur occasionally steals a glance at Helena who is exchanging messages with Christy. The woman indeed exchanged messages with her assistant every day just asking her boutique state, Carl Valentine.
"Why see me like that?" Of course Helena shamed when in an intense gaze by her husband. Even the woman covered her face with the two who were still clutching the cell phone.
Arthur chuckles. Though he just stared at it, did not mean to make Helena embarrassed like that.
"Nothing." Arthur smiled, his hand outstretched through Helena's hair, then refocused his attention to the front of the wheel.

Two days later
Arthur's car arrives at the Bristol Harbour Hotel. The valet opened the door for both. Followed by Darren who refused to open the door. He was used to being independent for what was opened the door.
"Welcome Mr and Mrs. Romanovs." The two valet officers greeted kindly with a respectful bow.
Arthur and Helena nodded. The two enter the hotel with Arthur's hand wrapped around Helena's waist. Before following in the footsteps of Arthur and Helena, Darren turned to one of the valet officers.
All three were greeted by two hotel staff and their duties led the way of the members of the British Chamber of Commerce to the ballroom.
Although no doubt the figure of Arthur but the rules still have to be run. Anyone attending the association event must present an invitation to prove the authenticity of the invitation with a gold-plated BCOC logo. Security there is really awake because the present are big business people every foreign country and of course minimize uninvited guests.
After conducting a series of Arthur checks, Helena and Darren are welcome to enter. Instantly the two towering doors were wide open with the red carpet stretched out as the main welcome for the business people present.
A boisterous voice began to greet Helena's sense of hearing. For the first time ever, she came to an event like this. He was just a designer, a big event like this of course he never went and of course he never got an invitation.
It turns out that a lot of business people who come, including Helena know it, but some of the many are still foreign to him. Because all this time he did not follow the news about young entrepreneurs out there.
Instantly Arthur and Helena became the center of attention from both women and men. Of course they will not miss the two famous couples who a few months ago held a massive wedding reception that was so electrifying. How not, only someone from the Billionare Family is able to hold a wedding party on a cruise ship with invited guests around 4000 more. Of course there is a sense of amazement because for the first time Arthur brought a woman who was none other than his wife.
"How are you, Sir Arthur?" Mr. Aldof greeted Arthur and extended a right hand to shake his hand. Although their company never cooperated, but they often greeted each other at the meeting of the association.
"Good news" said Arthur flat as usual. "How is Mr Aldof himself?" tanyanya. In the business world asking each other the news is a formality to establish familiarity.
"My news is good too." Mr. Aldof replied with a smile. Then his gaze turned to Helena who was standing next to Arthur. Well-favoured. The word is appropriate for Helena. "Hallo, Mrs Romanov how are you?" sapanya friendly. They had just met each other so it would be rude to just call names. But honestly wanted to feel like extending a hand, but he paused because of Arthur's gaze as if he had warned him.
"Good news sir" replied Helena. Of course because he did not know who the man in front of him was. He can conclude if his age is not much different from Arthur.
Aldof nodded. But wait? her gaze turned on Helena's protruding belly, which could not be hidden by the black long-dress off shoulder dress worn by Helena.
"Is Mrs Romanov pregnant?" ask to confirm his curiosity.
Helena nodded. "True Sir."
"Well, congratulations, Mr. Arthur and Mrs Romanov," cried Mr. Aldof was pleased with the news.
"Thank you." Both Helena and Arthur answered simultaneously.
It seems that from now on Helena began to have to get used to being the center of attention and being the subject of conversation every eye who saw it. It was indeed not something new to him, as he was used to being stared at like that when introducing his designs. But fashion shows and attending business associations are two different things.
Arthur and Mr. Aldof are still having a small conversation and of course Darren is involved after Mr. Aldof asks Arthur's confidant. But their words were immediately distracted by the presence of two couples who were certainly no less stunning.
Yeah, Mike and Elie. Both of them looked handsome and beautiful with matching clothes colors. Elie appeared graceful with embroidered and sparkly the length of the black dress.
