29 - I'll kill you

The trip back to the Grupo Sol house was like a dream, Helena did not stop looking at the beautiful face of her lover, his perfect profile that looked seriously towards the road, from time to time he turned towards her with his resplendent smile with dimples. and at traffic lights he filled her with kisses on all parts of her face without leaving even one free of his mischievous lips. Helena had started to hate the green light, because that meant the kisses were over.

When they arrived at the doors of the mansion, her countenance changed, disconcerting the young woman, as if they were two completely different people living together in the same body. Helena was sure that she was in love with Ivan but she was still not sure how to feel about “Mr. White” that side of him was intimidating, without feelings, someone who had nothing to lose and would do very shady things to achieve power.

But before Mr. White disappeared with his father's men for whatever he had to deal with, she didn't leave without turning to face him one last time and sending him a small smile and winking in amusement. .

Helena stood there frozen and with her heart pounding, Ivan did not have to explain anything to her, the young woman understood that things had to be that way, because her mafia boss had to follow his orders and then, she would have a moment to be Ivan. again doors into his room.

"I see you're back with the little girl," was the first thing her father exclaimed when the young raven man entered his room, which had gradually turned into the common meeting room.

"She's going to be with me whether you like it or not," he exclaimed defensively.

The man did not even flinch at the threat from his son and quickly changed the subject.

-Tonight there is an important gala that you must attend, the Italians are going to be there, I need you to put on your best smile and fix things with them, we need them to expand our arms market abroad, we cannot be left behind with the Luna Group.

"I thought I had been a failure with them last time," the young man exclaimed, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, you were," he said without further ado, damaging the pride of his son. "But I'm weak. What image can we give of Grupo Sol if I present myself like this?" Also, today I have to stay in the clinic until tomorrow to do all my tests, I need you to take care of this so no one finds out about my hospitalization. Can you do it? Or do I have to start training your little brother?

-No!-He raised his voice taking a step forward.

“No, Nick can't be part of this whole rotten world.”

"Okay, I'll do it," he said, lowering his head, knowing that he had no choice. For his brother he would even sell his soul.

"Don't disappoint me this time," she said, gesturing to her personal bodyguard to escort her son out of the room. Once he was out, she looked suspiciously at her man. "Today I want you to be with me." he.

-Mister?

-Don't worry about me, I want you to keep an eye on him, he has been very distracted by that damn woman, then you send me the report of everything.

"Yes, sir," he exclaimed, bowing and leaving.

Helena was training when Ivan or rather Mr. White showed up at the gym, everyone bowed in his presence, even her. The young man nodded to him and they left the gym. They walked for a long time in silence, until they reached a part that she had never visited, the spa area.

As soon as Ivan closed the door behind him, he planted a kiss on the lips of the young woman who surprised her.

-Ivan! "They could see us!" She screamed with red cheeks.

"There's no one here at this time," she smiled, giving him another chaste kiss that the brunette received without problems.

-How was the meeting with your father? -She asked worried.

Ivan sighed and sat on a stool, Helena did the same, sitting next to her and placing her hand on hers as a sign of support.

-Today I have an important gala, I have to solve a problem that I caused myself a while ago. Do you remember the day we met?

Helena laughed amused.

"Yes, as I'm going to forget, something as crazy as having to protect the life of a gangster who came out of nowhere had never happened to me," she said, smiling.

"You came out of nowhere!" The young man joked. "They almost killed me because of you," she said with a pout that the young woman found too adorable. "But it turns out that you killed me for love."

"Oh please, how cheesy!" The young woman laughed, making Ivan laugh, who showed his beautiful dimples again. After the laughter, they finally calmed down - Well, those men who wanted to kill me, I must fix things tonight.

-You're crazy?!

"No, even if you don't believe it, things are like that in this world, one day they want to kill you and the next if you have enough money to make an agreement, things can be forgotten," she exclaimed with desperate calm.

"I'm going to go with you," the young woman said.

-Don't even think about it, I don't want you to risk it.

-Do you remember that I am your bodyguard?

"I don't want you to be my bodyguard anymore," she exclaimed with a frown and squeezing the young woman's hand. "If something were to happen to you...

-Nothing is going to happen to me Ivan, I am not a princess that you should rescue.

"You are my princess," she said, kissing her hand lovingly.

"Well..." she said, blushing, "But this is still my job, okay?" "I don't want to be just a princess locked in a castle, I want to continue doing my thing," she said, looking at him intently and defiantly.

Ivan sighed in resignation, he knew how hard-headed Helena could be about her, and besides, he was right, he couldn't leave her locked in a little glass box away from all evil, even if he wanted to. And there were also the other people's eyes that surely already suspected that there was something more between the two, that would be worse, he couldn't risk Helena like that, if they continued pretending that they were boss and bodyguard he would be safer than if everyone knew that he was his loved. She would become his weak point, an easy target and he would never forgive her.

"Okay, but if things get serious, let my other men take care of it," he exclaimed, squeezing the young woman's hands.

Helena wanted to protest once more, but she swallowed her words as she saw the pleading look in those night-black eyes.

Who was she to make him suffer? She could understand her concern, she was also genuinely worried about him because of those damn Italians.

They were both worried about each other, she just hoped their love story wouldn't end without even starting.

-It's okay, just take care of yourself, okay? "If things get complicated, we run away," the young woman exclaimed with a frown.

Ivan couldn't help the fact that Helena's serious face caused him tenderness and that her lips looked so appetizing. From one second to the next he pounced on her, gently placing her body on the bench.

"Is it wrong if I want to devour you right here?" He growled into the kiss.

"Don't even dream about it!" the young woman screamed, giving him a gentle push. "A-I'm still a little sore from last night," she said with flushed cheeks and red ears.

"I told you it was too big," she joked, raising her eyebrows.

"Shut up!" she exclaimed embarrassed, hiding her face in her hands.

Ivan gently removed his hands and tenderly kissed her lips.

"I've already said it once and I'll say it again, we will do it whenever you want, I'm not going to pressure you into anything," he said tenderly.

Helena looked at him with her honey-colored eyes trembling with love and also with modesty, but she timidly nodded her head. Satisfied, the young man kissed her forehead lovingly.

-I must go princess, but see you tonight.

Helena nodded her head and closed her eyes in the last kiss she would receive in hours, trying to make it last as long as they were apart.

At the gala full of very rich and important people, Helena and the other bodyguards kept a safe distance from young White, watching their every step, especially those of the Italians, watching with eagle eyes every movement they made, fearing that It was an ambush.

But the party was going pretty well, the rich people were laughing out loud and it seemed like Ivan was really convincing them of whatever he was telling them. From time to time she moved her dark eyes towards the uniformed figure of her lover, to which Helena looked away embarrassed from her, and she was also afraid that someone would notice that they had something together.

Everything continued well, it was even getting boring from standing in the same place without being able to talk to anyone, until, among so many people, she noticed a familiar face, one who had made her laugh and whom she had come to trust. and even defend him from Ivan's comments.

How wrong she had been.

There was Erik Black, dressed elegantly, with his beaming smile that she now felt was damn fake. A hatred grew in her body when the almost blurry faces of her parents, due to the years of absence, appeared in her mind.

Suddenly she saw everything red and her vision was focused only on his prey, that she wanted to kill and make him suffer and beg just like her parents. Blinded by revenge, she began to move through the people, ignoring her cries of annoyance as she pushed them carelessly.

At one point, Erik saw her and smiled bigger, waving her hand, until her smile faded when she saw Helena's murderous look.

-That…?

She didn't have time to say anything else when Helena slapped her delicate and perfect face hard, causing the noise to be heard throughout the room.
