HELENA by Midnight Stories

Chapter 1

Even if life was a mess for her, Helena
Montana knew she had nothing to do to stop
the bad egg lead before her eyes as she walked
down the glass stairs , her grandmother Mary
Montana and brother Jake Montana stood at
the living room center as many gifts were all
over the place, moving closer to them they
smiled at her and she hugged them after
greeting them.
"Mother why all this gift ? Helena asked
looking at the many gifts laid before her eyes .
"Oh my child , they are your wedding gifts,
you know Dion Leo wants the marriage as soon
as possible" Mary said happily.




Helena became sad, but she just put a smile
on her face to hide her hurtful eyes, she
watched as Mary gave her a wedding cup.
"Take a look at this dear " Mary handed it to
her it was a white little mug,she stared at it
with a scorn on her face, jake knew his sister
so well, he knew she wasn't happy about the
marriage.
"Isn't it beautiful dear? Mary asked smiling
cheerfully.
"Well mother what's a mug doing in a wedding
gift ? Helena asked .




"Common Helena , it's from your soon to be
husband, he has put it into your gifts so you
could have drinks with it, a special tea mug
for you " she said touching her cheek .
"Don't you like it Helena? Jake asked even if he
knew she would lie and say "no"
"No, of course I like it,i was just wondering"
she replied putting her best fake smile on her
face .
Jake needs to think of a way to help his sister
out, he can't watch her marry a man she has
no feelings for and far older for that matter .
"I will drop it now granny, I need to go too
my room" Helena said trying to drop the cup,
but it slipped from her hand and landed on
the surface of the ties floor , it broke into
million pieces, she looked up at her brother
and mother who's faces held shock .
"Oh my god, what have you done, you broke
your wedding cup" Mary said
"It was a mistake mother " Helena said .




"Don't stress about it dear, am sure Leo will
get you another one , I will tell him this one is
broken" Mary try to confort Helena smiling,
Helena looked at Jake and walked upstairs to
her room, as she heard her grandmother
Calling on their servant Jane to clean up the
mess.
Once she reached her room she went and sat
on the bed, can she marry Leo? He was older
than her by far , she couldn't let out all shes
feeling, her grandmother is pushing her into a
loveless marriage, she was just 25 and Leo is
45 , 20 years older than her, the gap was too
much , if she could fly, she will fly away and
run for good , no love , no spark , no
attraction, but Leo shower's her with lots of
gifts, showing her he loves her and will do
anything for her , tears fell from her eyes .

Standing up from the bed she walked to her
window and looked out into the city , her
fingers playing with the necklace around her
neck, she looked down at it , it was the
pendent given to her by her father Jackson
Montana, she thought about when he was still
alive , he had handed it to her when she was
18, it's been 7 years already but it's just like
yesterday, he had encouraged her to do the
things that are right , to follow her heart and
let no one lead her to the wrong part , to
deceive and hurt her ,she was his favorite,
little daddy's girl , buy her things take her out
, buy her her best novels , her mother too was
an epitome of beauty and she got her beautiful
looks from her, she died in a car accident, and
her father later got sick and died, it was a
painful memory , her grandmother and elder
brother Jake are the only people she has as
families now, and now her life is about to
crush before her eyes marrying an old man,
whom there was no love for , her tears rolled
more.




The door opened silently, still deep in thought
she didn't know when Jake entered.
"You don't want to do it right ? He asked .
Helena quickly cleaned her tears with shaking
hands as she heard her brothers voice, she
turned to face him.
Jake knew she was crying cause her eyes were
so red,he hates to see her in such condition
and it breaks him.
"Jake I......" She tries to say but he moved
closer to her .
" You can't keep crying like this Helena " he
said staring at his sister .
"I know you don't want this marriage and
believe me when I say it hurts me too , please
Helena , if you don't want to do it then don't "
Jake said .
Only if it was easy .
"Jake it's too late already, there's nothing i can
do , the wedding has been fixed, two days
from now I will be marrying him , I don't think
there's anymore chance " she said solely.
Jake held her at arms length and spoke his
mind .
"Run away " he said , that moment Helena's
eyes shoot up looking at Jake bewildered what
he had said .
"Run away? She asked .
"Yes , run away , go away from here and don't
return till everything is okay again , trust me I
know you wouldn't want to be tied down with a
man you don't love and mostly far older than
even I am, or don't you want to be free from
him? He asked .
"Of course Jake, but where do I run to ,I have
no friends what do I do then ? She asked .
" I have a friend who lives in new York, I can
tell him am sending you over , and he will be
nice to you " Jake said .
Helena's eyes widen.
"His a guy? She asked .
"Yes, but his my bestfriend, his not bad, he
has his own money and power inheritance
from his parents, but he doesn't live alone, his
grandmother stays with him and his cousin
sister of course, they are nice people you will
be comfortable staying with them, and once
Alexander knows your my sister , then they will
welcome you whole heartedly" Jake said .
Helena couldn't help the smile that crept it
way upon her face , she will run away , yes .
"So tell me Jake , when do I leave? She asked .
"Tomorrow night , I will speak to Alexander
right now " he said .
"Wait Jake , but tomorrow night is gonna be
the night to my wedding day " she said giving
up hope that she won't be able to run away
then.
" Helena stop ranting about this Marriage stuff
if you want to save your ass, tomorrow night
is best for you to leave " he said she nodded
quickly.
"Okay Jake , I trust you " she said .
"You should get some sleep now, I know you
must be tied " he said kissing her forehead.
"Thanks so much jake, I love you " she said
and hugged him .
"I love you too" he said kissing her hair , they
pulled apart and he winked her she chuckled as
he turned and left the room.
Helena was so happy, Jake aways comes to her
rescue even when they were still much younger
, he could beat anyone who bullies her, and
she Chuckled remembering how he had
punched a boy bullying her when she was 7
and him 10 , and he was scold by mother but
dad always encourage him to beat them up if
they messed with her , she laughed,her dad is
really a funny man .
Now she will just have to patiently wait for
tomorrow night, she can't wait to get out of
here and be free from this nightmare which is
Leo.
