Sold To A Billionaire

Her Cousin

TODAY is the day that she chooses to talk to Helios. Zoe called him earlier to come over. It was quite demanding, but she was still afraid to go out because there seemed to be danger awaiting them outside. And Helios never disappoints her because the man came minutes later after the call. Zoe then invited the man to their garden. She left her daughter to her mom and dad. “How’s your day?” she asked. “Fine,” he replied without breaking their eye contact. She then suddenly drank from her glass of juice. “Hmm…” she put down the glass she was holding. “I asked you to come because I have something to tell you.” He crossed his legs and rested his arms on the armchair. “About what?” She gulped, and her heart started to pound fast as nervousness outgrows. “About Hela.” “How about her?” She sat properly. “Wait—are you mad?” Helios heaved a deep sigh. “No, I’m just exhausted.” “Did I pick the wrong time? Are you busy? Did I bother you?” she asked. “I’ve got piled of documents to review and sign, but it’s alright.” “I’m sorry if I bothered you.” It’s almost six in the evening, and maybe he needs rest, and I just called him out of the blue. “No, it’s fine. Just... just tell me why you called me. You have something important to tell me, right?” “A-About Hela...” “How about her... hmm?” She gulped two times, got her glass of juice, and drank it. She heaved a deep sigh. “Will you believe me when I say—” “That you want her to call me ‘da-da?” she cut off. Her eyes widened. “Uhm…?” “I’m scared, Helios! I am scared that you might not like her… me. Because in the first place, you are

married—I know it’s just forgery, but in the eyes of the people, you’re married to Chloe….” Helios punches the iron table. “Bullshit!” “Helios? Zoe?” “Mommy.” “Auntie.” “Are you fighting?” Zoe shook her head. She was about to say something when she saw the woman beside her mother. “Amanda?!” Helios and Zoe said in unison. “How... how did you know her?” she asked. “Daddy!” exclaimed the shrill male voice. The kid ran and hugged Helios’s leg. Helios was not able to move immediately because of astonishment. Zoe began to shed tears. And her mom was shocked too. “What’s going on?” “Aunt, he’s my son,” said Amanda. “And why this kiddo fucking called me daddy?” said Helios furiously. Just the sight of the woman’s face makes his blood boil. He wants to pull out the gun on his waist and shoot the woman’s head. But he controls his temper because Zoe is there. “How did you know that fucking bitch!” Zoe shouted at Helios as she pointed at her cousin. “And how do you know her too?” Instead of answering her question, Helios asked her to. “She’s my fucking cousin!” Zoe replied. “All this time, you’re the one who impregnates her. You’re the father of her innocent child that she wants to abort. It was you!” she pushes Helios. And the kid who’s hugging Helios almost trips, but Helios grabs the kid immediately, which makes Zoe’s lost her temper even more. Zoe shook her head. ‘It really hurts! I am hurt!’ she thought. Her vision is getting blurry. She can’t handle the pain anymore. She can’t bear it. She was ready to settle everything. She crumpled his blouse on her chest. Her breath was getting heavy as her visions were still blurry. The next thing she knew, she passed out. When Helios saw the unconscious Zoe, he immediately went to her and was about to pull out hisThis is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

gun when Mrs. Levine screamed and slapped Amanda. “Look what you did to my daughter?! Does hurting me wasn’t enough that you still need to come back here?!” asked Mrs. Levine before she turned to Helios. “Helios, carry Zoe to her room. Hon, call our doctor.” Suddenly, Millie came and tried to calm Iris because she might have had a heart attack. “Iris… calm down. I will handle this. Look to your daughter upstairs. Where’s Hela?” Millie suddenly asked. “She’s with—make sure to fix the mess that bitch done for!” she said as she pointed to Amanda. “Yes, yes, just... just stay away from here.” Mrs. Levine then listened and walked inside. … “What do you want this time, Amanda?” “Aunt Millie, I… I didn’t abort my child.” She lifted his son, who was now covering his two ears and was crying silently. “But why did you come here again? Didn’t I drive you away before? And I don’t want to see you in my eyes,” said Millie, pissed but trying to calm herself. Amanda kneeled in front of her father. “Aunt, forgive me. I know I have been wrong and a bad person and a cousin. Aunt, I was just forced to do this.” “What? I don’t understand you,” said Millie. “Aunt—” “Stay away from her, Aunt. She’s dangerous,” said Helios as he cut in. “Helios. Just stay on Zoe’s side.” “Yes, Auntie, but not until I plant a bullet in her head,” Helios said and pointed the gun he was holding at the back of Amanda’s head. Millie’s eyes widened. On the other hand, Amanda started to tremble. She hugged her son, who was still crying. Bodyguards from a distance also went closer to him. “Tell me, who ordered you to ruin this family?” he cocked the gun and pressed it to the back of Amanda’s head.

Millie, who was still in shock, still tried to stop Helios. “Son, what are you talking about? She’s my best friend’s niece. Whatever her fault is, we can discuss it.” Helios’s grip on his gun tightened. “No. This girl just wants to lure you out to bite her bait. Don’t get fooled.” “Can you explain to me what the hell is going on?!” Aunt Millie shouted. She’s clueless. And she couldn’t understand what Helios was saying. “She works for someone who wants me dead,” said Helios. “Dead?” “Aunt… Helios, I can explain. Please, I want to help. Please, hear me out,” Amanda pleaded. “You double-faced bitch. You think you really can fool me?” asked Helios furiously. Millie held Helios’s hand, which had a gun, and pushed it away. “Let’s talk about it. and Amanda, what are you talking about?” “One wrong move, a bullet will be planted on your head,” Helios said and left the garden. “Secure the area!” Helios said to his men. He went to Zoe’s room again. The girl is still unconscious. Mrs. Levine stood up and approached him. “What’s going on, son?” “It’s a long story, aunt. I’ll explain later. Let me have some moment with Zoe,” he said and kissed her daughter’s forehead. “All right, Hela and I will stay in our room. Let me know when she’s awake.” Helios just nodded. Mrs. Levine and her daughter then went outside. He went closer to Zoe and stared at her. The doctor they called didn’t arrive yet. He then freely examined the gentle face of Zoe. He caressed her soft cheeks and gave her a peck on her lips. He holds her hands and presses them. “I’m sorry, and I love you,” he whispered as he kissed the back of her hands.
