30 - Heir

Quickly two men in black grabbed each of Helena's arms and pinned her in place while she kicked hard while still looking with her eyes full of murderous desire towards Erik.

"I'm going to kill you!" She screamed as she tried to break free from the men's strong grip.

Erik held his now red cheek from her strong blow as she stared in bewilderment at someone who had been her friend for a short time and now she seemed to want to kill him.

"Okay, let her go," she ordered her men.

"But sir..." one of them protested, tightening his grip on the young woman who looked like a wild animal and not a lady.

"Don't make me say it again," he growled, showing a terrifying look that Helena had never seen on the always smiling boy.

The men looked at each other before releasing the young woman who stumbled forward and would have fallen face down on the ground had it not been for Erik holding her firmly.

"Don't touch me!" she screamed, breaking free of his grip.

"Helena..." she said, trying to remain calm in the face of all the stunned looks around her. "Why are you acting like that?" "If your idiot boss told you a lie about me..." he began to say furiously.

"Don't bring Ivan into this," he warned threateningly.

Erik was dismayed by the young woman's rude attitude.

"Listen Helena, why don't we go somewhere else, quieter, to clarify things?" He pleaded nervously, knowing that whatever it was he didn't want it to be on everyone's lips.

-So that? To get rid of me like your family got rid of my parents years ago?

The people around exclaimed a collective “Ohhh” at the revelation.

-What are you talking about?! Who told you that! "I'm going to talk to White right now..." he exclaimed with the intention of going directly to confront his enemy.

"I told you not to involve him in this!" He exclaimed forcefully, holding his enemy's arm. "This is between you and me...

Suddenly, the brunette began to feel a strong discomfort in her entrances, she looked with a frown at Erik, who had a worried expression on his face.

-Clear…. Are you OK? You feel good?

The young man's face began to distort in front of the girl, her image became black at the edges and thousands of dots began to cover her vision. From one second to the next the young woman closed her eyes, succumbing to dizziness and feeling that her legs became weak and stopped obeying.

In a bold move, Erik held her in his arms in terror.

"Helena, what's wrong?" He exclaimed. "React!" he pleaded nervously.

-WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM, YOU SON OF A BITCH?!-Erik turned towards the voice that belonged to no one but his enemy.

The young man was about to close the deal with the Italians when he moved his black eyes one last time towards the position of his beloved, discovering that the place was empty due to her absence. He stopped talking and her smile left her face as he searched the crowd for Helena. What he least expected was, like that time at the gala, to find her again with Erik, only this time among her arms.

He ignored the Italians, leaving them with words in their mouths and a promise to never work with Grupo Sol again if he left them there.

“Fuck all this” He thought as he crossed the sea of people to his beloved, what really mattered to him. He wanted to tear the young woman from those dirty hands and once and for all make her disappear from the face of the earth.

When he arrived to where his beloved and the murderer of his in-laws were, he found an image that made his blood run cold.

"I-I didn't do anything to her!" Young Black, who was still holding Helena's unconscious body in her arms, exclaimed still in panic.

Ivan wanted to rip off her head there in front of everyone, but now his priority was Helena.

"Let her go!" He protested, taking a step forward.

Erik said nothing and carefully handed him the sleeping maid, letting Ivan carry her as if at a wedding in her arms.

"This is not going to stay like this, for today you are saved," he said, quickly taking her out of there followed by the bodyguards, one of them stopped halfway, taking his cell phone and making a call.

-Mr. White... his son just left the event on the way to the clinic... No sir, he didn't make the deal, yes, because of Helena. "Okay, yes sir," he cut off the call and ran to catch up with the car that was already moving.

—-

Ivan was in the waiting room waiting for news of his beloved, he was going crazy, no one had given him any news about his health in more than 40 minutes. What if that monster had hurt him? What if he had poisoned her, ending what she had started with her parents? If Helena didn't get out of this, she wouldn't forgive him, she would set the entire Luna Group empire on fire and kill that bastard and his father with her own hands.

"Please... without her I am nothing," he whispered, joining his hands. Now more than ever he was aware of how important Helena had become in her life.

—

"Mr. White, please calm down or you're going to have a blood pressure spike!" His doctor pleaded, trying to get the big man to stay lying down in the clinic's private bed.

-Damn woman! Damn my eldest son's worthless idiot! She screamed until he started coughing.

At that moment, his man who had been watching the couple entered the room.

"Mr. White, as you asked me, here are Helena's results," the man exclaimed, holding out an envelope.

"Please read it," she ordered her doctor, who, without asking questions about who this Helena was, obeyed and opened the envelope, taking out some blood tests that had been done in the emergency room.

"The results say that the patient is pregnant," he stated without having any idea that this revelation would cause the colors in his patient's face to be lost and make him completely pale.

The pulse machine began to beat harder and an expression of horror and anger contorted on the Father's face.

"I told you to be careful!" He shouted loudly, taking the papers in his hands tightly. His man ran towards him and held his shoulder to calm him down, but Mr. White pushed him hard and grabbed the Doctor by his white shirt, bringing him closer to his face, now red with fury.

"Listen to me carefully what I'm going to tell you, Doctor..." he growled very close to his nose. "You are going to get rid of any evidence of this result and you are going to tell my son something else. Did you hear me?" He cannot find out about this, for his own sake and that of his family he had better keep the secret.

The doctor nodded his head frantically and as soon as the man let go of his shirt he ran out of there with his entire body trembling with fear.

-You….

-Yes sir

-Take me to the room where that damn slut is hospitalized, I need to talk to her.-

—

Ivan was about to break everything near him when a doctor appeared down the hall. He stood up suddenly from the seat and quickly approached the man who looked nervous and he had even thought he had seen him tremble.

Ivan's heart skipped a beat. What if he was like this because he was about to give him bad news?

-Doctor…- he could barely say a lump in his throat.

"Please accompany me to my office, Mr. White," he exclaimed, motioning with his hand for her to walk in front of him.

Ivan obeyed without a word and walked ahead of the man through the long hallway. The doctor turned back for a second watching his patient's bodyguard appear in the hallway, he nodded to which the man returned the sign.

When the hallway was clear, the bodyguard slid the wheelchair with his boss to the door of the young woman's room.

-Leave me alone with her, if you see signs of my son, get me out of here quickly.

"Yes, sir," the man exclaimed, opening the door and closing it behind him.

Helena had regained consciousness just a few minutes ago, it took her a little longer to remember the last thing that had happened, how she had hit Erik and how then everything had gone black. The voice of her lover sounding broken and desperate in her ear as she was carried in her arms and then silence.

“I guess I didn't die after all,” she thought, feeling her body weak and nausea wanting to rise up her throat. She was about to call a nurse to help her walk to her private bathroom or bring her a container when she heard the door open.

-Ivan? -She asked, turning her face with her eyes full of tears from the commotion towards the door- I'm sorry...

"It's not enough to be sorry, you ruined the deal we were going to get with the Italians," exclaimed his beloved's father, dragging himself with the wheelchair to his bed.

Helena shivered in her place and realized that she was too weak to run away from there, the man was now stronger than her even in her deplorable state.

-What are you doing here? -She asked, trying to remain calm to see the least desired person at that moment and in a room away from witnesses.

“Had he come to finish what he had not achieved before? Maybe he's going to press a pillow on my face until I stop breathing” She thought, feeling the sweat on her forehead and how the pulsation machine increased her heart rate.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you if that's what you think," he said, trying to calm her down, although he didn't sound that convincing. "Take a deep breath, we don't want a nurse to come in and interrupt us."

Helena obeyed and she was barely able to calm down.

-I don't have much time, Ivan is going to return at any moment, that boy is quickly losing his way with you at his side.

"If he's going to kill me, do it once and for all," she said with a trembling voice.

The man laughed amused, causing him to cough hard.

-Actually I came to congratulate you.

-Congratulate me?

"Yes, congratulate you for being so clever and getting pregnant with my heir," she exclaimed with a grotesque smile that was disturbing.

Helena blinked hard as if trying to process what she had just heard.

-I-I'm... Pregnant?

-You're smart!-He scoffed and spread the results paper in front of Helena's face, after a moment she moved it away and put it in her pocket.

"N-It can't be..." she exclaimed in shock, placing a hand on her still flat belly. Now the nausea was from fear, she didn't expect this. What would Ivan say? How was he going to take it? What if the baby was a problem for her business and she asked him to get rid of it? Thousands of questions, one worse than the other, overwhelmed her mind.

"Girl... listen to me well, pay attention to me," he ordered, stopping smiling.

Helena looked at him with wide eyes bursting into tears.

-For the moment this is going to be a secret between you and me, you are not going to say anything to Ivan. Did you hear me? Take it as a gift, I'm not going to get rid of you and the child for the moment, okay?

Helena wanted to scream, hit him. How dare she threaten her and her son like that? To her future grandson!

But an idea appeared in her mind, suddenly her life was worth more. Yes, now she could be in greater danger by having the son of the most powerful young man inside her, but at the same time she could use it to her advantage to protect them both.

-Okay, I won't say anything, but on one condition.

-Tell me how much you want...

-No, is not that. I want Ivan and I to be official.

-That?

-If you don't want me to shout right now that I'm expecting a child from his precious heir, you're going to allow my relationship with Ivan, I'm no longer going to be his bodyguard, now I'm going to be his wife.

The man clenched his fists tightly, feeling that his heart would burst and he would die right there in front of the cunning woman, but no, it was not yet time to die, he still had to finish his plan and leave everything ready for his son. of the.

-Okay, we have a deal, none of this to my son.

-Take it for granted.
