“What do you mean that I should vacate the mansion for you to stay?!” Mrs Xavier yells at her daughter. This is one of the few times she is having a fight with her daughter, and it's because her daughter has approached her with the most ridiculous offer. Selina rolls her eyes and runs her hand over her belly. “What else do you want me to do, mum? I can't find a good enough place in time, do you want your grandchildren to be born in a cheap hotel?” Mrs Xavier folds her hands angrily. “Why don't Damien find a bigger house for your family?? Isn't that what the husband is supposed to do?! You told me that the news about him was just a rumor! Selina, has your husband suddenly gotten poor?!” A hot flash goes across her face. “After all the expensive gifts that my husband bought you? How dare you, mum?!” “Selina, you are asking me to move into the servant quarters to make you and your husband comfortable enough. Does that make any sense to you?!” “Well, we all have made sacrifices.” S

Helen has given Damien a quit notice and this means that if he doesn't get out of the house in two days, she is going to kick them out. Damien didn't have just one house, but Helen took back everything! They didn't even have a shed to go to. Now, Selina wouldn't stay anywhere close to a hotel that is not the most expensive in the city, but Damien knows that will take what little money they have left. Helen also froze his accounts, so that means that he has a few hours left to find a way out of this mess, or else he is going to be fucked. Selina is just a few weeks away from her expected day of delivery. Damien has gotten rid of the Grimm family, and that's just one step towards their plan. Now, Helen has caused another trouble for them. Selina is not one to ask for help, but what's she going to do in a situation like this? She isn't putting all of her hope in Damien, he might return to the house in a few hours with no good news. She gets into the car that won't be hers in a fe

Elle let's out a gasp as soon as she sees herself standing in front of Mabel's house. Its a duplex, a medium sized one in an estate for retired people that love to have their peace and quiet, away from the business of the nearby city. In the history of the Shankly family and the August family (Helen's maternal family name), Mabel August is the most brilliant of them all. She holds one of the highest IQ in the world. She is an academic force to be reckoned with, but she has a downside, she has a social inability – crippling anxiety that is one of them serious cases in the world. So, although she has worked and make a lot of research, she never appear in public, and even though she performed a few groundbreaking surgeries, her anxiety grew and she retired to the comfort of her mansion. Her sister, the late Mrs Shankly, understood her sister's predicament and used the rest of her life to protect her. Luckily, when she died, Helen never forgot her Aunt. Mabel had many wealth of her

Leon goes to the venting machine with some snacks before he goes into the elevator. He is not going to his office, he is going to one of the floors of the hospital that was closed for a quick renovation. In one of the storage room, he put a bed and some makeshift necessities for it to become somewhere for someone to stay for a few days. He gently knocks on the door, using a secret rhythm, so that the person will know that it's him. Elle opens the door and smiles when she sees him. “Doctor Leon!” “Hey you, how are you?” He gets in and they lock the door. Her makeshift room is the size of a small closet, but she has kind of made it her own. She has been here for five days since her family were killed, and she looks better now. She was fine, and he treated her wounds, but she also suffered a terrible fever the last few days. It was just a manifestation of her grief of losing her family. She was so hurt that Leon got scared and wanted to take her downstairs to be admitted, but

Helen doesn't let go of the steering wheel, in fact she is contemplating on ramming the car into this bodyguard. “I am running late for a meeting, I don't have time for this.” Helen says from inside the car. “He won't take much of your time, Doctor, he just wants to talk.” Helen heaves. “You know, kidnapping is just embarrassing, even for a monster like him. I am not a doll that he can just pick up to play with.” “I'm sure the boss understands that, Doctor. I will relay your displeasure at how out of the blue this is, I'm sure he will do better next time.” Helen huffs. Next time? there won't be a next time. All that her parents have always told her about protecting herself rings in her ears, but she still grabs her handbag and steps out of her car. “I have only forty minutes to spare. He is not going to get more than that.” ******Alex Kane is in his house, going through some sketches that his architect left for him. He is tracing the fine lines on the paper when the bodygu

“It's done, boss.” Damien feels like a tight rope has finally snapped on the inside of him. It's not because he is feeling guilty for killing every member of his biological family, but because he knows that he has buried that part of his life, and no one will be able to find it. He smiles and looks out of the window. “Good. The balance will be wired into your account in a minute. Pleasure doing business with you.” He can't wait to tell Selina, she is going to be so pleased with him. Now he just has to make sure that Mister Alex Kane gets married to Helen, so that he can become the king he has always been meant to be. The door opens, and one of the interns that works directly with Helen comes in with a file. “Good morning, Mister Grimm. Doctor Shankly asked me to give this to you.” He bows slightly. Damien stands up with anger contorting the entirety of his face. “What did you just call me now?!” He slaps the innocent intern. The man has heard rumors about how Damien used to
